Physician supervised and OHIP covered

 

No referral necessary

 

You do not need a referral to be seen and assessed. You can book an appointment by emailing or calling the clinic. There's no commitment.

​

What happens when I'm seen at the clinic?

 

The first step will be to identify if you have a metabolic disease that is causing the fat accumulation. This is rare but can happen. Next, we will determine if the extra fat is causing any harm to your body by causing diseases that we know are linked to it. 

 

This will give us a baseline of where you are and where you need to get to. The first visit is done in person.

 

Next we will look at tools that are available to help you become the best version of yourself. This will include an awareness of how you eat and what you do and use of medications that help with weight loss, if the benefits outweigh the risk for you. Most people can expect to lose 10-15% of their body weight with newer medications, if used appropriately. For a 200 pound person, that would be around 20-30 pounds.

 

Then we will be with you on the journey: tracking and monitoring for side effects if medications are being used and helping you establish habits that will allow you to stay where you want to be.  

​

Followups are usually done virtually but you can always come in person if that's your preference.
