Lawrenceville Clinic Rodriguez MD Helps Patents to Fight Obesity

    ALPHARETTA, GA, February 14, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rodriguez MD, a Lawrenceville clinic and bilingual Lawrenceville family practice in Gwinnett County, GA, is an official Center for Medical Weight Loss. Working to help patients safely and effectively lose weight, Rodriguez MD offers comprehensive, personalized weight loss programs. In additional, their Gwinnett doctors are also trained to help deal effectively with obesity.

Healthy weight can be measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI). This is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters (expressed in kg/m2). The standard weight categories are as followed for adults:
- BMI below 18.5, underweight
- BMI of 18.5 - 24.9, normal
- BMI of 25 - 29, overweight
- BMI of 30-plus, obese

Medicare patients at Rodriguez MD with a BMI of 30-plus are eligible to receive Obesity Counseling (OC) from a physician at the practice. The patient will be covered for intensive behavioral therapy for obesity with no co-payment. The therapy will include screening for obesity (using BMI), dietary assessment, and counseling to promote sustained weight loss through high intensity interventions on diet and exercise. Commercial Insurance patients at this Lawrenceville clinic should check with their provider for Medical Weight Loss coverage details and eligibility.

"At Rodriguez MD our physicians view weight loss and maintenance within the context of the patients' total health profile," explains Neville Street, the practice's Administrative Director. "If the patient has a condition that is hindering with their weight loss efforts, our Lawrenceville doctors can prescribe needed medications or advise on other alternatives to overcome those obstacles." Located in suite 250 at Terrace Park Medical Center on 771 Old Norcross Rd, Rodriguez MD's patients are sure to enjoy a level of care that surpasses other Lawrenceville family practices.
