Exceptional patient experience
The team members at Adventist Health are dedicated to ensuring that every patient in our program has a positive experience that exceeds expectations.
As a participant in our weight management program, you will benefit from:
- Personalized weight-loss plans: You are unique, and so is your weight-loss program at Adventist Health. We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your physical condition and emotional mindset and then craft a program that nourishes both your body and your soul with just the services you need.
- No hard sell: We do not rush you into weight-loss surgery. We first try to help you lose weight through a medically supervised program that consists only of nonsurgical approaches to weight loss.
- Multiple weight-loss surgery options: If surgery does become your best option, our skilled bariatric surgeon offers multiple bariatric procedures.
- Close medical supervision for related health conditions: Being overweight means you probably have other medical issues, such as hypertension, diabetes and more. We closely oversee all your weight-related medical issues to provide comprehensive management of your health.
- Treatment for mind and body: As we handle your physical weight management needs, we also help you find relief from the stress or depression that may influence your eating decisions. Count on our compassionate clinicians and support groups to help you manage the mental side of weight management.
