For adults, overweight and obesity ranges are determined by using weight and height to calculate a number called the “body mass index” (BMI). BMI is used because, for most people, it correlates with their amount of body fat.
An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.
An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Endocrine Metabolic Medical Center is excited to offer an Online Weight Management Program. This is a telemedicine program that will help anyone who wants treatment for weight control. Telemedicine is a rapidly developing application of clinical medicine where medical information is transferred via telephone, the Internet or other networks for the purpose of consulting, and sometimes remote medical procedures or examinations.
The risks of excessive weight are well understood and the numbers of identified risks are mounting. It will not be easy but it can be done. This cannot wait. You may have lost hope of achieving your goal, but we will help you find the way. We have shown major success with a treatment that you arrange on your time. It educates you on the six metabolic areas of weight loss proven successful in the office setting, and helps you set personal goals you can stick with.
EMMC, a pioneer in metabolic disorders such as diabetes for 20 years under the leadership of J. Joseph Prendergast, MD, uses systematic coordination of medications for weight control. To control weight it is essential to have solid medical strategies, just like other chronic medical disorders.
How it’s done
If you are already an established patient of EMMC, we are ready to transition you to the Online Weight Management Program. We have an established electronic medical record detailing your treatment, lab, and diagnosis history. We are ready to move you to online appointments.
If you are new to EMMC we will work with you and your primary care physician, just as if you came to us for traditional specialty care. EMMC acquires your medical records, current treatment plan, and list of medications. We have an initial online assessment interaction with you and from that we adjust your plan as needed. Like any in-clinic consultation, all changes to your treatment will be forwarded to your primary care physician. Likewise, we may need you to visit your physician to check blood pressure, do brief physical exams and prescribe medicine.
The Online Weight Management Program includes:
Be aware that email is not secure, but this is how we communicate. We must adhere to all standards of medical care for your safety. That includes the requirement that a doctor examine you periodically. We can't guarantee your weight loss, but we are good at it and want to help you succeed.
