Obesity is an epidemic we cannot ignore. While many people are excited to try the latest fad diet or miracle pill hoping to shed excess weight easily, the truth is, successful weight loss demands more than cursory interest. It demands dedication and commitment to a lifestyle change.
At Doctor On Call, we provide medically-supervised, non-surgical weight loss programs to help you safely meet your weight loss goals. Our weight loss clinics in Albuquerque, New Mexico utilize nutritionists, dieticians, psychologists, physical therapists, personal trainers and physicians to help you develop realistic expectations and successfully transition into a healthier lifestyle.
With our Albuquerque weight loss programs, you’ll receive the following:
- Initial evaluation
- Comprehensive history and physical exam by a medical doctor or physician assistant to include an EKG and blood work
- Initial consultation with a psychologist who will screen for depression and eating disorders and discuss behavioral therapy in weight management
- Initial dietary, nutritional and wellness screening and consult with a dietician and physician to determine your Body Mass Index (BMI), body fat percentage and resting metabolic rate.
- Two Week Follow-Up
- Your daily food intake and activity level for the past two weeks will be reviewed to determine an estimate of what your energy balance (caloric intake minus caloric output) is.
- An individualized treatment program will be developed and will include things like dietary changes, an exercise program, behavioral therapy and possibly medications.
- Maintenance Visits
- Depending on your treatment program, you may see us once a week or once a month.
- You will receive medication refills if you are on appetite suppression therapy and the dietician and physician will review your progress, provide behavioral therapy and check your BMI and body fat percentage.
- Personalized feedback by professional staff.
The length of our weight loss programs is entirely up to you. As a “pay-as-you-go” program, you may choose to stop the program at any time. It is the goal of our Albuquerque, New Mexico weight loss clinics to provide you with the knowledge and tools to start living a healthy lifestyle!
