ABOUT US
Dr. Shounuck Patel has been on the forefront of Interventional Orthopedics for many years and has developed a comprehensive approach at treating the whole-body. In doing so, it has become evident there is a strong need for quality weight management systems. Carrying excess weight can be heavy on your physical, mental, and heart health leading to significant increases in both chronic disease and pain. Our team has partnered up with some of the top health and wellness brands in the industry to bridge the gap between quality, hands-on healthcare and the cutting edge, technology and resources accessible to us. We’ve developed a 6 month program that combines 1-on- 1 coaching with dedicated tracking devices to help our patients lose excess weight, feel better, move more and develop long-term habits that can be incorporated into everyday life. Let’s meet your team!
