What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?:
We’re doing a series of free special health events with some other medical clinics in the Jacksonville area to provide information on how losing weight and decreasing pain can help people be more mobile.
How did you get started in your field or work?: I have always been interested in helping people around me get healthier. I’ve been a private practice physician in this area since 2018 and have developed a passion for helping people lose weight. I understand the complexities associated with weight management and I became more and more aware of the lack of comprehensive care for weight loss. It just didn’t exist. We needed a place that addressed everything that makes it difficult to lose weight, and we couldn’t find it – so we made one. We’ve had excellent feedback so far and are excited to help people lose weight and keep it off.
What makes your company unique?:
We have a team of experts who come together to create a plan for you to help you be successful with weight loss – for the long term. We have a comprehensive team approach of 4 licensed professionals. By addressing medical, physical, dietary, and mental health needs, we provide each client with a specific plan for their long-term weight loss success.
What are your biggest goals in the next 12 Months for your business?:
We want to make health, wellness, and longevity accessible to people who may have otherwise given up on it.
