TV Day!

Today WUSA, Channel 9, is coming to do a story about our weight loss program. In preparation for this, our public relations specialist, Rhonda, sat down with me yesterday and asked me some questions that could be asked by the reporter. One of the questions was :"Why do you think your weight loss program is better than others?"

My answer to this question required no preparation...Here is my answer: Our results are better than any commercial program out there. There are several reasons for this including the appetite reduction and carb craving curbing caused by the prescription medication and our patented serotonin supplement, our dietary plan based on "real food" as opposed to shakes, bars or prepackaged meals that other program use and probably most importantly, the support we provide our patients. When Jenny Craig sells you meals, and if you have a question or an issue, you do not have access to Jenny's cell number. As an internal medicine physician, my emergency line provides my cell phone number, so basically, if my patients ever have an urgent issue to discuss, they can call me directly. Our incredibly wonderful staff answers your phone calls and gets your issues answered quickly. We provide a daily blog, a chat room, access to a registered dietician and personal trainer...all included in the cost of your program.

We have essentially a 100% success rate and an incredible safety profile.

So, long answer to this question, but no preparation is needed to answer why I am so proud of our program and why we so greatly appreciate you coming to see us and also referring your friends/family. We are constantly thinking of ways to help support you even when you stop your formal visits becuase we know how difficult it is to maintain that weight loss you worked so hard to achieve.

Please check the blog to see when you can see the airing of the segment on WUSA.
