weight loss around America

First, thanks for the kind comments from "Anonymous" yesterday...i am very glad we are helping you well along your journey to become healthier and happier....

Today Dr Vicki Falcone is visiting from Philadelphia. Dr. Falcone runs a highly successful aesthetic practice in PA/NJ. (Sorry..no free botox for anyone todAY!)

Dr Falcone is bringing the Serotonin-Plus Program to her patients and is here to find out more about how we see our patients in followup.

More physicians need to be involved in helping their patients lose weight. "Help" is not simply handing a patient a 1200 calorie diet sheet and expecting your patients to follow this to the letter. People need support in their efforts, sometimes need a medical jumpstart, and as obesity is the nation;s largest health concern, all physicians need to step up and get more involved. Unfortunately, managed care does not support these efforts so many physicians simply do not have the time to become involved. As I have not read the thousands of pages of the new health plan (I decided not to read any of it as soon as it became apparent that tort reform was not addressed at all with this new bill. Any effort to stem healthcare costs without addressign tort reform is a joke..plain and simple....now go on and post your comments....go for it...but I stand by this...litigation attornies support the people who came up with this bill so this was their payoff...keep throwing frivilous lawsuits at the medical profession without any penalty if you lose your case....then have every doctor ordering bunches of unnecessary tests to protect their a---es. This is exactly what should have been addressed.)

Anyway, back to the issue today: Kudos to Dr. Falcone and her staff for becoming active in their quest to help their patients not only look younger but also become healthier.
