​
Our nutritionist, dietitian, physiotherapist, personal trainer, nurse, and physician can provide specialized ongoing assistance with nutrition, lower leg assessments, exercise prescriptions, weight loss medications, and behavioral change support.
+ Prescribe medications when medically necessary
We understand that we’re not the only weight management program available, and we appreciate that you're considering all your options. Our clinic offers a variety of modalities to treat obesity, including lifestyle behavioral modifications, the OPTIFAST program, nutritionist services, exercise programs, and prescription medications for weight management. Currently, there are three branded medications (SAXENDA, CONTRAVE, and XENICAL) along with the new agent Semaglutide, approved by Health Canada for the treatment of overweight and obesity. These medications are recommended only as part of a comprehensive weight management plan. During your initial comprehensive medical assessment, Dr. Soto will discuss with you whether any of these medications are suitable for you.
