Medical Weight Loss

If you or someone you know struggles with their weight or has been told by a physician to lose weight, we can help. Community Bariatric Services offers a medically-supervised, non-surgical weight loss and wellness program for individuals who seek to lose weight—from 10 lbs to hundreds of pounds. The program is offered at both our North and South clinics.

Do I Qualify?

Community's non-surgical weight loss program is appropriate for individuals 18 years and older (minor must be accompanied by adult) who want to improve their health and lose five to 30% of their current body weight. We can also help if you are considering bariatric surgery, or want to maintain your weight after weight loss surgery. Individuals can self-refer or, depending on their insurance, a physician referral may be needed.
