Welcome to RVA's most experienced medical weight loss and wellness practice!  We are proud to say that we are different, it is our passion to sit down with our patients individually and determine the very best plan for a successful & sustainable weight loss journey. 
 
What makes us different?

• Our providers are experts in the medical science of obesity medicine.  We are passionate about treating obesity as a specialty.  Obesity is a complex, multifaceted, chronic and progressive disease.  It is not a disease that can be managed with a cookie cutter approach. There are many reasons why patients do not lose weight or struggle with their attempts at losing weight.  At our practice you will find providers who can drill down on these kinds of issues and fix them.  Additional treatment options may be necessary to ensure that our patients have the very best weight loss outcome.  You will not find this level of obesity care at the majority of the pop up weight loss clinics that just started "doing weight loss" in the past few years.

• We also welcome and understand patients who have previously had a bariatric surgery (i.e. gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, lap band, etc.) who now are struggling to maintain their weight loss or just have more weight that they want to lose. We have experience in treating patients with both surgical and medical weight loss.  ​​

• We are knowledgeable in treating common conditions that lead to obesity such as PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, prediabetes, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, just to name a few.  You will not find anyone in our practice that feels that the patient is to blame for their genetic makeup or unsuccessful attempts at weight loss in the past.  We know that metabolic syndromes like these are fighting the patient, it is not the patient that is failing. 

• Most importantly, what sets us apart, is true empathy.  The majority of our providers and staff have struggled with their own weight and understand this struggle on a personal level.  We get it!  As a patient at Journey Health & Wellness, you will feel heard and not judged.  We embrace our patients and give them hope that we can help them to finally be successful in their weight loss journey. 

• ​We view our relationships with our patients as a long term team because we give patients a sustainable weight loss solution.  We love to see our patient's continued success and hear stories of finally living their very best lives.

We look forward to seeing you in the office to learn more about your wellness and healthcare needs and goals.  Thank you for taking the time to learn what we do best!

Best,
Your Journey Health & Wellness Team
