Today, more people than ever are overweight and concerned over appearance and health. Do you hate your weight? Don’t let frustration over extra pounds cause you to go fad programs that don’t work or may be dangerous. Choosing Dr. Engel as your medical weight loss specialist will not only speed up results but will also insure that your health is closely monitored.

If you have a related illness, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis or other diseases, you need a physician to plan and monitor your diet along with prescribed medications, if needed. If you are insulin resistant, you may find that no matter how hard you try, you still can’t shake the pounds off. Dr. Engel, both a medical internist and a bariatrician, can help you.

If you already have a doctor, Dr. Engel will provide you with a weight loss program and medication, if indicated, keeping in contact with your personal physician.

“…dieting programs change over time and as patients adjust their weight. There is not one program, but many adjustments that create weight loss momentum.”
