Which medically supervised weight loss plan is right for me?
Dr. Syed reviews your medical history, medications, food preferences, usual dietary intake, and lifestyle habits to determine which weight loss plan best suits you. She also completes a physical exam if needed and may order on-site labs, heart function testing, or other diagnostic tests. She creates a sustainable weight management plan you can stick with long term.
