- Medical Weight LossIt’s quite common for people to be deficient in at least one or more nutrients. Booster shots address this and are easier for our bodies to absorb than pills. Nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and pushed directly into cells where they can be more effectively utilized by the body. For many people, weekly vitamin shots help increase their energy, strengthen their immune system and promote weight loss.
- Primary CareWe are required to follow the guidelines of your managed care plan which mandates to us that when you visit a specialist, such as ours, you must have a referral from your primary care physician prior to seeking specialty care. Therefore, you are financially responsible for the services received, unless your referral is presented at the time of this visit. If you do not have a referral from your primary care physician at the HGH time of a visit, you will be financially responsible for all service performed, upon completion of the visit. You will also be given the option to reschedule your appointment.

- Bariatric SurgeryThe actual surgery only takes 30 minutes to an hour to perform and most patients are discharged home the same day. Recovery times vary, but patients generally return to work and normal activities within 4 to 7 days. Because the surgery uses laparoscopic techniques, patients experience less post-operative pain, recover quicker, and are to return to normal activities sooner in comparison to other forms of bariatric surgery. The Lap Band® procedure is reversible and adjustment of the band is done with a simple needle puncture.
