Beth Rocchio MD, Weight Management

Having maintained a 60 lb weight loss since 2004, I know how difficult it can be to achieve permanent weight loss.  I also know it is possible.

Maybe you are like many of the patients I took care of when I was a primary care physician.  If so, you have some of the common problems that can be the result of your extra weight: aches, pains, fatigue, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, anxiety, depression, etc. 

My weight management practice is focused on helping people achieve permanent weight loss to improve their health, minimize common diseases and require as few prescription medications, office visits and medical tests as possible.

A Comprehensive Approach

First, you receive a thorough review of your complete medical and weight history.  Depending on your needs, areas of emphasis are:

• identifying reversable/treatable causes for weight
• a healthy food plan (nutrition education)
• physical activity/exercise counseling
• appetite suppressants if desired and appropriate
• addressing bad habits
• minimizing mindless eating
• stress reduction techniques to decrease stress eating
• discussion of emotional eating
• treatment of compulsive overeating & food addiction
• discussion of the role of bariatric surgery

Accepting New Patients

Blue Cross Blue Shield, United and Tufts insurance accepted.
