Via Care’s Wellness & Weight Management Care program offers healthy and effective medical treatment for weight loss. This program is designed for individuals who suffer from chronic conditions related to obesity and difficulty losing weight, including diabetes, hypertension and osteoarthritis. Recent innovations in the development of safe and effective weight loss drugs have allowed medical providers to help patients lose weight and maintain weight loss, while simultaneously treating many chronic conditions.
Via Care is proud to bring these life-saving treatment options to its patient base. Enrollment in Wellness & Weight Management Care includes regular visits with a provider specializing in weight loss medications and the treatment of chronic conditions associated with weight gain. Monthly group classes focused on nutrition and healthy weight loss habits will provide an additional layer of support for those undergoing treatment.
Enrique Jose Gonzalez, MD, brings over 30 years of compassionate care and expertise to lead our Wellness & Weight Management Care program. As a trusted family medicine provider in East Los Angeles, Dr. Gonzalez understands the deep connection between weight and overall health. His extensive experience treating chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension makes him a leading community resource for those struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues.
Via Care’s Wellness & Weight Management Care is a comprehensive program developed to address the complexities of managing weight loss and chronic conditions.
