What can I expect during my first weight-loss consultation?

During your initial weight-loss consultation at Prestige Primary Care, P.A., Dr. Aziz notes your current weight and completes a physical exam. He may order blood work or other diagnostic tests to learn more about your overall health, metabolism, and body composition.

Based on your test results, Dr. Aziz creates a weight-loss program for you to follow. He also helps you set reasonable wellness goals and provides strategies you can use to achieve them.

If you have underlying health issues like diabetes that make weight loss difficult or physical issues that prevent strenuous exercise, Dr. Aziz can recommend strategies you can use to safely burn excess calories and build muscle.

You can expect to schedule routine weight checks and health evaluations while you’re on your weight-loss program. Dr. Aziz also provides ongoing resources that keep you on track with your program in the long term.
