The experience at Dr. James Huffnagle & The Center for Medical Weight Loss, PC is similar in many respects to a visit with any medical doctor. The difference with our program is that it is ALL about you and how we can help you to lose weight. The inital visit with Dr Huffnagle involves weight analysis, a detailed discussion of medical versus cosmetic weight loss, and an understanding as to where the optimal weight should be. Next, a full medical history and physical is performed by Dr Huffnagle, and attention is given especially to underlying medical conditions, functional status and limitations, and preferences as to diet and exercise. Finally, Dr Huffnagle discusses a program customized for the patient which includes ultimately dietary, behavioral, sleep, and exercise recommendations.
