Our experienced and knowledgeable staff make a difference. You do have lots of weight loss choices out there.

And she has lost 40 lbs herself. We invite you to come in and meet us.
The Altschuler Clinic  
A Center for Weight Loss & Wellness
Stop carrying around all those extra pounds and enjoy the increased energy and self esteem that come from being at your ideal weight.  The benefits of lower weight include a lower incidence of disease, increased longevity,  improved mobility, and a decreased need for medications. This is good!
Eat your fill even as you lose weight.  How can we say this? Simply stated, we give you the nutritional tools to take control of your appetite, and at the same time send new signals to your body to burn fat rather than store it. Your metabolism is a complex chemical process that responds to the food  and nutrients you feed it.  You eat less because you aren’t as hungry, and what you do eat burns fat.  That’s how you lose weight.
 
Your success is our success.  We are committed to helping you to attain your weight loss goals and keep them.  It is of little benefit to lose your excess weight only to regain it. As you lose weight you will also be learning to make the lifestyle changes essential to keeping that weight off.

Listen to what some of our patients have to say:
“I have been yo-yo dieting for years. Lost weight to gain it back plus a few pounds more. At last I found Dr. Altschuler's clinic and met with the doctor to discuss my weight worries. Dr. Altschuler put me through a battery of lab tests to see if there were any health issues and then put me on a program designated for my needs. I lost the weight easily following the doctor's guidelines and weekly cheek-ins. I am now on maintenance while still periodically meeting with Dr. Altschuler to discuss any diet problems I may encounter. Thanks Dr. Altschuler. You and your staff have made my weight loss easy and positive. I feel physically and emotionally fabulous! “

“I received excellent care from Dr. Altschuler and her staff. Dr. A worked with me to design a weight loss program that reflected my individual needs and preferences. I lost weight steadily, and have reached my goal. As many of us know, weight loss without maintenance is a pretty useless thing. Dr. A and her staff are providing me with great follow-up. I feel wonderful, and when friends and acquaintances ask me how I lost the weight, I happily direct them to Dr. A's office.”

“The HMR program (at The Altschuler Clinic) enabled me to lose over 60 lbs after I tried and failed with other diets.  And I have been given the tools for successful long term weight maintenance.  With positive encouragement from the group sessions, and HMR Program Director Elizabeth Mullan’s on going guidance and direction, I was motivated to get moving and start an exercise program as well.  With HMR food I am never hungry and have added fresh fruits and vegetables to my daily diet.  I feel better than I have in years.”

“I have had an excellent experience with Dr. A. The first time I met her I felt an immediate connection with a Dr. who knows what she is doing and does so in a very caring way. She has motivated me to achieve great success. I have lost 25 pounds and have been able to go off of my blood pressure and cholesterol medications and I feel great. The program has taught me to understand healthy eating. I highly recommend Dr. A.”
