Comprehensive Medical and Surgical Weight Loss Program
One Program. All Options. Built Around You.
At the Emerson Health Center for Weight Loss, weight loss is never one-size-fits-all. Every person’s health history, body, and goals are different. That is why our comprehensive, physician-led weight loss program offers medical, endoscopic (non-surgical), and surgical weight loss options under one coordinated expert team.
