Dr. Mogollon Board Certified in Obesity Medicine
Dr. Andres Mogollon recently passed the Obesity Medicine Boards. He is now board certified in Obesity Medicine (ABOM). Dr. Mogollon is fully qualified to design tailored obesity programs for our patients and to prescribe medications for obesity. Certification as an ABOM diplomate signifies specialized knowledge in the practice of obesity medicine and distinguishes a physician, such as Dr. Mogollon, having achieved competency in obesity care.
There is a large gap between clinical need and current practice in the obesity treatment which is growing in frequency and its consequences. Despite widespread recognition of the magnitude and severity of this problem, fewer than 5% of patients with obesity undergo clinical evaluation for this disorder. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death.
Our weight management program focuses on tailoring a personalized plan/individualized approach for you including diet, exercise, prescription medication, assessment of your cancer risk and liver health, and close follow up to help you reach your health and wellness goals. These physician visits are covered by most major insurance plans and Medicare.
