Why your primary doctor matters in weight loss plans

Weight loss isn't just a one-size-fits-all solution; it often requires careful coordination with primary care doctors.

Before diving into any weight loss plan with a patient, I always make sure to consult their primary care physician.

This isn't just a courtesy; it's crucial to avoid stepping on toes and ensure the patient's overall health is managed properly.
