Weight Loss and Bariatric Clinic

Heal and Cure is a Board Certified Bariatrician's clinic.  We are licensed physicians (Doctor of Medicine - MD or Doctor of Osteopathy - DO) with special training in Bariatric Medicine: the art and science of medical weight management. Bariatricians treat overweight and obese patients with a comprehensive program of diet and nutrition, exercise, behavioral therapy and, when necessary, the prescription of appetite suppressants and other appropriate medications.  

Bariatric Surgery

The weight loss treatment offered at Heal and Cure does not involve Fat Loss or Weight control surgery, which in medical terms is known as Bariatric Surgery. We offer medical treatment for obesity to over weight patients. While Bariatric Surgery attempts to reduce fat by surgical methods, our approach is that of using medicines to achieve the desired results.
