WEB REVIEWS:
Many people rely on web reviews and ratings to aid in choosing a new doctor, dentist, chiropractor or other health care provider. We welcome and encourage your honest review about our facility and our staff.
There are, however, the occasional person who doesn't like us. Some, who may have been dismissed for violating a narcotic use contract or for refusing to pay their bills or might never even have been a patient, have chosen to slander us all over the Web with no accountability. There is no way for us to correct their false claims, other than to drown them out with positive ones.
We KNOW what our real patients say about us, as we ask by survey. See the results at:

Soooo…. If you have some time, and are willing, we could use your help. Please consider posting a review at any or all below:

It’s only logical to treat excessive weight as any other illness
The consequences of carrying "excess nutritional reserve" are substantial. It increases the risks of heart disease, stroke, arthritis and depression. It is a serious medical problem.
Why isn’t it treated as such? For years, physicians have (reluctantly) given short-term pharmacological help to patients to "get them started" on a weight-loss program, only to watch them regain it all (and more) soon thereafter. Most health-care providers have been unwilling to consider long-termmedication support. Yet, we all treat diabetes, high blood pressure, blood-clotting disorders, chronic pain, seizures and many other illnesses with medications (all with their own side effects and risks) for life without hesitation. Worse, some are insulting or dismissive of overweight patients, viewing them as simply lacking in willpower.
At HFM, we take a more helpful approach. We treat excess weight as we would any other serious life-long threat to wellbeing.
For the last 24 months, HFM has been offering effective medication for suppressing appetite. There are more than 65 continuing participants. Most have improved their blood pressure, glucose levels and their cholesterol numbers. The average weight loss has been 23 pounds for those continuing at three months; 34 pounds at six months; 39 pounds at nine months; 45 pounds at twelve months; 50 pounds at 18 months! The most weight lost by one person has been 118 pounds!
The medications cost less than $20.00 per month; visits are required monthly x 4 then space out. You must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 to be eligible for this weight-loss program. Calculate yours at: www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bminojs.htm .
