Make an appointment with a specialist, take part in our comprehensive program, checkout our individual services or become a participant in one of our research trials. Please contact us at 703-807-0037 to schedule your free consultation. I was considering bariatric surgery and then found WCWMR. What a relief since I'm skeptical of the long term success of surgery. WCWMR isn't a weight loss clinic, it's a place to go for a lifestyle change.
Services
read moreThe Comprehensive Program draws on an integrative model of weight management and addresses all aspects of health, including medical, nutritional, behavioral, activity and psychological wellness. You will meet with a different team member every week on a rotational basis for optimal support. Directed Path: a meal replacement based approach (with fresh fruits and vegetables) that limits choices and allows you to temporarily step away from food safely and build a sustainable foundation. This path is most appropriate for those with a large amount of weight to lose or who have medical conditions necessitating weight loss.

read moreMany of our patients struggle to take care of themselves because their jobs are demanding and they work long hours. How can you start to set better limits with your work so there is more time and energy to spend on your health and happiness needs (healthy regular meals, having some fun, adequate sleep, effective stress management, down time, regular exercise, etc.)? Please join clinical psychologist Rachel Burnett, PhD for discussion and problem-solving. Hopefully you will leave this session with some concrete new ideas to try.

Research
read moreWe design, implement and evaluate weight management/obesity protocols with the goal of increased understanding of obesity as a disease and its related co-morbid conditions. Our research strengthens the clinical work that we do. As obesity experts we gain additional experience with medications before they become available and maintain an ongoing connection with scientists in the field. At WCWMR, we typically conduct several trials a year examining the effects of different drugs on weight loss, and on improving metabolic conditions.
