"These programs are meant to support weight loss patients as they embark on their journey to a healthier them," Dr. Essien says. "Obtaining the mentality needed for successful weight loss is challenging, but with a support group, patients are encouraged and motivated."

Dr. Essien allows patients to interact with esteemed dieticians, who expertly advise patients about the lifestyle changes they need to make.
