Medical Assessment and Management

We provide medical assessment and management for patients struggling with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and combined disorders. This includes inpatient medical stabilization as well as outpatient treatment.

Much of our service is focused on helping bariatric surgery patients. We assist patients in the pre-operative weight loss phase and peri-operative management phase. We also conduct long-term follow-up to ensure patients continue to receive appropriate diet and nutritional support.
