It's time to make a change.

If you are at least 100 pounds or more overweight, losing weight is not just a good idea - it is a medical necessity. Every week you wait and every pound you gain adds an increasing risk to your health and life. Severe obesity is difficult to treat with traditional diet and exercise. It often requires medical help to find the best, healthiest way to take off a significant amount of weight. When you're ready for a change, Dr. Steven M. Clark, Dr. Jingliang Yan, Dr. Eileen Thomason, and our team of bariatric and medical weight loss specialists can help you understand your options.
