Obesity Treatment & Weight Management Options

The complex and sensitive nature of obesity can make conversations with patients difficult. An empathetic approach and asking permission is a helpful starting point.

Understand appropriate assessments to evaluate obesity-related health risks.

Start the conversation, take weight history and set realistic and attainable goals with your patients with obesity.

Dr Sandy Van invites you to consider treating obesity like you would any other chronic medical condition like diabetes, or cardiovascular disease - with a comprehensive plan that not only includes lifestyle treatment, but also evidence-based interventions.

Manage your patient’s weight loss and weight maintenance, modify your patient’s treatment plan and make a follow-up appointment.
