We care for patients with metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase a patient’s risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. It is a combination of ailments that may appear simultaneously or sequentially in an individual, such as abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol, hypertension, and glucose levels of 100 mg/dL or higher while fasting.

Our program includes the evaluation of a specialized, experienced medical professional, who evaluates each case and refers each patient to various dietitians or additional services that they may require.

Appointments are coordinated by our service representative for your convenience.
