Appointment options in response to COVID-19

In response toCOVID-19recommendations to keep you, our patients, and staff safe:

Summa Healths Weight Management Institute has implemented the use of telemedicine or TeleHealth for most patient office appointments. TeleHealth visits include new patient appointments, before weight loss surgery visits and after surgery post-operative care visits. Our current TeleHealth visits are currently telephone-based. There is a plan to add video capabilities soon.

Our offices are open to see patients who need to be seen in-person. We have implemented Summa Health guidelines for COVID-19 screening including temperature monitoring to ensure patient and staff safety.

Please know that Summa Healths Weight Management Institute providers and staff are committed to continue to provide you care. Our goal is to continue to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to our patients while also keeping their safety and that of their family in mind!

The Summa Health Weight Management Institute has been helping people lose weight since 2004. Since our inception, we have promoted a physician-driven, team-based approach to weightloss.

There are numerous quick fixes on the market, none of which results in long-term significant weight loss. While it is appealing to think of taking a pill to miraculously and effortlessly melt away the pounds, the reality is that it takes hard work and time to undo the eating behaviors and choices that lead toobesity.

The Summa Health Weight Management Institute offers many options for weight loss. We understand that readiness to lose weight varies from one patient to the next, so we offer a continuum of services starting with lower intensity options with a dietitian, and then including behavioral, nonsurgical and surgical options. All of our higher intensity services are designed to take place with a physician or behavioral specialist to make sure you get the level of care that youneed.

Our nonsurgical and surgical services are considered to be medically supervised weight loss options because your primary provider is a physician or surgeon. Depending upon the degree of your obesity and the level of knowledge you have regarding the options for addressing it, we can help you decide which of our weight management programs best fits yourneeds.

All patients of the Summa Health Weight Management Institute experience a clinician-driven solution, with the assistance of our team of registered dietitians, clinical psychologists, clinical exercise specialists, physicians and surgeons. We believe that patients struggling with excess weight, whether in the early (pre-obese) or late stages of the disease, require a multidisciplinarysolution.

The reasons for obesity are many and varied, and as such require a personalized solution and life-long support. We work with each individual to achieve the best possibleoutcome.
