What's special about us? We are a relatively small, integrated facility providing health services individually tailored to meet your needs. Our providers have a common goal: Treat potential problems before they arise, and minimize your need for medication and hospitalization. We've been in practice for over three decades. While we focus on weight loss, we offer a variety of other services , many of which are not available under one roof in our area.
Our services include:
- Medically supervised weight loss. We take weight management seriously, and consider overweight to be a chronic condition. Treatment is individualized to you needs and is based on physical findings, lab studies, and specialty studies such as measurement of body fat content and actual measurement of daily caloric expenditure.
- Internal medicine. Full range of internal medicine services, with particular attention to the identification of health risk factors, and taking the necessary steps to minimize these risks.
- Pulmonary medicine. Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic lung conditions, with special attention to shortness of breath, COPD, effects of smoking, asthma and interstitial lung disease. We have an in-house modern lung function testing lab, that does testing usually available only in a hospital setting.
- Chinese/herbal medicine. As in China, our Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, and is viewed as an alternative medical system in the US. As in East Asia, our TCM therapy consists of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and tui na hands-on body work.
- Acupuncture. We use acupuncture to treat a variety of condition (all recognized by the World Health Organization), such as: Chronic and acute neck nad low back pain, muscla strain, migraines headaches, stress related illnesses, heart burn, irritable bowel syndrome, and others. Our acupuncture programs can be integrated with other forms of Chinese medicine and traditional western medicine.
- Massage therapy. Massage therapy in the US is now an established standard of care with recognized benefits. These benefits include increased flexibility, reduction of muscle spasm and pain, and an increased feeling of well being.We provide both therapeutic massage (frequently in combination with acupuncture and other forms of relaxation), and recreational, or "feel good," massage.
Our staff is trained to meet your special needs, and the atmosphere in our office is relaxed. Many of our patients tell us they feel like they are part of our extended family.
