Don't Wait To Lose Weight - The Key To Success Is To Start Today!
Our mission at Northern Virginia Area Bariatric Consultants is to help our patients maximize their health, fitness, energy, and well-being by attaining and maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle without surgery or invasive procedures.
Dr McCarthy gives each of his patients personal care and attention!
-Bill, Retired
At Northern Virginia Area Bariatric Consultants, we understand that having excess weight is a disease, not a lack of will power or personal failure. We are all challenged daily with temptations of tasty foods, life's stresses, and time constraints that prevent us from eating and exercising the way we want.
Some of us may also be constrained by physical problems. On top of all this, excess weight in itself creates metabolic changes that counteract even one's best efforts!
At Northern Virginia ABC, your situation is approached individually. Dr. William McCarthy works with your lifestyle, metabolism, and underlying medical issues and designs a plan specifically for you.
Our goal is to prevent, slow the progress, or even reverse the damage brought on by poor health habits. Excess weight is not a matter of choice or lack of willpower, but rather a medical disease that needs long term treatment.
After reviewing your medical history, we will schedule you for a comprehensive medical examination performed personally by Dr. McCarthy. The examination also includes an EKG, body measurements, a body composition analysis, and lab tests based upon the findings of the medical examination.
As you progress, the frequency of visits will be every two to four weeks. Dr. McCarthy will personally see and examine you at each visit.
Dr. McCarthy and the entire staff at Norethern Virginia ABC are dedicated to help you achieve your goals. Contact our office to learn more.
