Carrie Sadler, PA and the entire support team at Summit Health Group are awesome. In about 3 short months since starting with them, my cholesterol and triglycerides have improved, I am current with all my routine health assessments, and I have lost 20 pounds. I feel ready to conquer my next adventure!

— Charlene A.

I suffered with debilitating pain that severely limited my mobility. Every excursion outside left me physically ill and exhausted. I happened to see a sign for Dr Shani’s office on his window one day and decided to stop in. They did a consult for me and listened to my numerous issues and their team came up with a treatment plan tailored to my complex problem set. After 4 months of seeing them I went from barely being able to make a short car trip to the mall to being able to take a 4 hour flight and walk the whole trip. My progress has been absolutely astounding.

Medical Weight Loss Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to a few of the questions that we most often hear about our medical weight loss program.

What is medical weight loss?

You only need to lose 5 to 10% of your body weight to substantially reduce your risk of developing the serious health conditions associated with being overweight. Because the Summit Health Group team wants to ensure your success the first time around, they offer a comprehensive and customized medical approach to weight loss that’s designed to give you the specific resources, tools, and support that you need to achieve long-term results.

The Medical Weight Loss program combines physical activity, calorie restriction, proper nutrition, and psychological support, along with proven medical therapies, including FDA-approved prescription weight-loss medications and medical-grade nutritional supplements, when appropriate. The experts at Summit Health Group are passionate about helping patients reach their weight loss goals and improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Throughout the world, excess body fat has become a critical health crisis. In the United States, that crisis has reached something of a tipping point: About seven out of ten Americans are overweight, and more than half those individuals qualify as obese (having a BMI score greater than 30). Carrying excess fat is a complex health issue that can sap your energy, put extra strain on your joints, and drastically increase your risk of many serious health consequences, including:

  • Developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer
  • Having unhealthy blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels
  • Having high blood pressure
  • Having a heart attack or stroke
  • Developing sleep apnea or breathing problems
  • Becoming depressed or developing anxiety
  • Experiencing chronic pain or difficulty with physical functioning

After an initial, one-on-one consultation to identify your target weight as well as any medical concerns, the team at Summit Health Group will work with you to develop a customized, medically-sound plan designed to get you to your goal safely and efficiently. Depending on your needs, the program may include prescription appetite control medication or high-quality supplements to ensure you’re meeting your body’s nutritional needs during calorie restriction.

As they track your progress, the team will offer expert advice and gentle motivation to help you reach your goals. By the time you reach your target weight, you will have developed the skills you need to keep the weight off for life.

You will have continuous access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including expert physicians, fitness advisors, chiropractors, and acupuncturists. Their ongoing support, through regular consultations and progress reviews, ensures that adjustments can be made promptly to keep you on track.

While results vary based on individual circumstances, many participants notice improvements within the first few weeks. Our strategy is centered on steady and realistic progress rather than rapid, temporary fixes.

Every participant undergoes an extensive evaluation that focuses on individual health metrics, lifestyle habits, and specific goals. This detailed assessment allows us to design a weight loss plan that is not only effective but also safe, addressing the unique needs of your body.

Yes, our medical weight loss program is designed with long-term wellness in mind as opposed to just short-term results. By focusing on gradual, manageable changes and equipping you with lifelong skills for healthy eating and activity, we ensure that the results extend well beyond the duration of the program.
