Obesity Medicine by Dr. Tara Altepeter, an obesity medicine specialist with Alega Health, a medical weight loss practice for adult, teen, and pediatric patients in the Silver Spring, MD community.
Losing weight can be a daunting process. In our follow-up visits, we will meet regularly and set small, achievable goals that over time aim to help you achieve the results you seek.
As we work together, over time we will adjust the plan as needed to help you stay on track to meet your goals, and later, to maintain weight loss – often the hardest part. Setbacks are inevitable, but together we can work through them to build lasting progress.
I view medical weight loss as a hybrid between traditional medical care and health coaching. I am here to be a source of well-researched, scientifically sound information, a sounding board, cheerleader, and partner in your weight-loss journey.
All patients need to have an identified primary care physician. I will work with this physician to coordinate care when other medical problems are identified or need specific treatment.
