What Sets Us Apart?

We understand that you have many options when choosing Weight Loss Services. Many of our patients come to us after trying a variety of programs, both medical and non-medical. These are things they tell us:

·         Patient’s who have tried commercial, non-medical weight loss services usually have one common complaint. They spent a bunch of money to be “counseled” by people with minimal or no education in medicine or nutrition. Many feel they were given the old “bait and switch”. You’ve seen it before- ‘Lose up to 20 pounds by CHRISTMAS- Enroll Now for just $7 per week*.  Of course, the asterisk always points to very small print which obligates you to much more than $7 per week.

·         Many patients have tried other Physician Supervised Weight Loss Programs. Many people were surprised that their previous program did not even do lab work to rule out other medical causes of obesity. Others commented that they never even met the doctor. One patient stated  "we were herded through like cattle" when describing his experience at another office.

We are definitely different!  We offer safe medical weight management services in a very personalized, non-judgmental environment. We require lab work to rule out other medical causes of obesity and perform EKG’s when indicated.  Your medications are reviewed to make sure they aren’t part of the problem. We get to know our patients and offer guidance throughout the weight loss and maintenance process. Dr. Croland spends a great deal of time with every patient. He explains the medical aspects of obesity in plain and simple language. He offers you the tools, knowledge and guidance needed to assist you in achieving your goals. We also offer prescription medications and injections, when indicated.
