What To Expect
What We Offer
The hallmark of Well by Messer is an experienced medical team, including:
An endocrinologist (we have both adult and pediatric) who will review your medical history and send you for state-of-the-art blood work (covered by your insurance plan), metabolic testing, cardiac testing (such as carotid dopplers) and referrals to other specialists, including dermatologists, plastic surgeons, bariatric surgeons and cardiologists, as appropriate. Any hormonal issues (e.g., menopause, low testosterone in men, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid abnormalities, diabetes, etc) will be treated in-house in conjunction with your general metabolic care.
An internist who will take an in-depth history, perform a comprehensive physical exam, and address medical issues including cardiovascular disease risk reduction, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, sleep disorders, mental health and preventative screening.
A psychologist who specializes in the complex human relationship with food. We will help determine if there are any psychological causes of your metabolic issues, as well as provide any psychological support necessary to attaining your body weight goals.
A dietitian who will create a meal plan/arrange a delivery service with attention to your metabolic needs as outlined by our team. We will also help you find personal chefs if directed.
In-house trainers who will design a personalized exercise program for you (including cardiovascular and strength training, as well as stretching). Our trainers are also available for home and virtual visits.
A wellness coach who will develop a detailed action plan tailored to your personality and lifestyle and who will follow up with you as needed to keep you on track.
