Our Philosophy

Naomi Hart has struggled with her weight her whole life and knows that it’s takes a lot more than the dreaded words “willpower” to lose weight. She understands that people who struggle with their weight are not lazy and lack self-displine, they just need help to eat less.

We believe the only way to lose weight is "calories in and calories out." At Prescriptive Weight Loss Center we help you to eat less with the aid of appetite suppressants. We don’t believe in weighing and measuring your food and eating foods you dislike. You need to be able to live a normal life and enjoy what you eat or you will not last very long on a “diet.”

Different diets work for different people. One person can do well on Atkins, while others might do better on WeightWatchers or Jenny Craig. What we help you do is stay on a diet that works for you. We also believe that exercise is important even if it means taking a walk. No matter who you are or what you do, feeling good about yourself is so important. Having self-confidence affects every aspect of your life.
Having control of your eating gives you a power that nothing else can. We know you’re not “lazy” and self-indulgent. PWLC is here to help you achieve your goals and be the best that you can be. We don’t judge you or put demands on you. We know and understand how difficult it is to lose weight. Some of the most powerful people in the world can handle the impossible yet they can’t control their weight. We are here to help.

Being overweight affects so much, your health, your legs, back, but most of all it destroys your psyche. At PWLC we are here to help you, not judge you or lecture you. We understand how hard it is. The medications will make it easier for you. The Numbers on the scale don’t mean everything, more importantly, it's how you feel.

Process

A patient comes in for an initial consultation, fills out a 3 page questionnaire (which you can download here and bring with you or fill out at your first visit). The doctor then does a brief physical, reviews your medical history, eating patterns/problems, and explains the different medication options. He prescribes and dispenses the appetite suppressant during your first visit. The follow-up visits are every 2 to 4 weeks.
