At Lake Grove Family Medical Clinic, we understand that weight loss is about more than just numbers on a scale—it's about improving your overall health and quality of life. Our weight loss clinic provides medically-supervised weight management programs designed to help you achieve sustainable results through evidence-based lifestyle changes.

Obesity affects approximately 1 in 5 adults and is linked to serious health conditions including type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, arthritis, and mental health concerns. The good news? Many of these conditions can be reversed or prevented through medically-supervised weight loss.

Led by Janet Dichter, FNP, our weight loss program takes a comprehensive approach focusing on nutrition, physical activity, behavioral changes, and ongoing medical support. Unlike fad diets or quick-fix solutions, we help you build healthy habits that last—creating sustainable weight loss that improves your health for years to come.
