Medical Director of PhySlim and Weight Loss MD

Our philosophy

Healthcare is growing rapidly, and primary care/bariatricians are in need more than ever. Seventy percent of adults are overweight in America and thirty-five percent are obese. Obesity is now viewed as a disease by the American Medical Association, and is becoming an epidemic. High blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and heart attacks are linked to increased Body Mass Index (BMI) and obesity. Healthcare costs are rising at a rate faster than we one day will be able to pay for them. The time to act is now.

We are very excited to be a part of the Coweta community and look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,

Rick
