Medical Weight Loss & Wellness
“It’s never too late to start living well”-Unknown
At Five Points Medical Center, we want to walk beside you on your journey to wellness. That journey looks different for each or us and there are many factors that affect wellness. Obesity is one of the factors that has a significant effect on our health and wellness and can lead to many chronic diseases. We believe that chronic disease can be prevented and reversed by healthy living including weight loss, good nutrition habits, exercise, and stress reduction. It would be our privilege to guide and coach you on your wellness journey.
Below is an overview of our services. Please note that we do not accept commercial insurance for our services. Payment is due at the time of service.
