Refer a patient for medical weight management
Surgeons, OB/GYNs, cardiologists, endocrinologists and primary care: we see referred patients within 7 days and send a summary after the first visit.
Good referrals
- Pre-operative weight targets (orthopedics, hernia, spine, bariatric pathway)
- Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, fatty liver, hypertension tied to weight
- PCOS and fertility-related weight goals
- Patients asking their specialist about GLP-1s
- Sleep apnea where weight loss is part of the plan
