A Bariatrician is a licensed physician who, is a member of the Society of Bariatric Physician (ASBP), has received special training in bariatric medicine, regarding overweight and obesity and its associated conditions.

A physician-supervised medical weight loss program may be the safest and wisest way to lose weight. Overweight and obesity is a very complex medical disease. A medical weight loss specialist has done extra study, training and testing to be a bariatric physician. They are trained to recognize complications due to obesity. They prescribe safe FDA approved appetite suppressants for patients who qualify. They also monitor drug interactions. These are only a few reasons why you want to see a medical professional when dealing with obesity.

Money is and should be an issue when considering any weight loss program. In developing our program at Doctors Weight Loss, Dr Welch considered many options; his main goal was to make it affordable to everyone. Most medically supervised programs are around $350.00 for your first visit.
