OUR METABOLIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS

The International Clinic specializes in the treatment of obesity. We prescribe medications in combination with dietary support to help you achieve weight loss.

MEDICAL SUPERVISION

Because obesity is frequently associated with serious and often hidden medical problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, our medical director, Dr. Kim, personally performs a comprehensive history and physical examination, along with appropriate laboratory testing, before any patient begins one of our obesity management programs.
