It’s not all about willpower…It’s not a character flaw.

Obesity is a chronic disease just like high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Obesity can shorten the lifespan and can lead to as many as 236 other medical problems – 13 of which are types of cancer. It has been said that obesity is one of the greatest obstacles facing modern medicine. We need to treat obesity seriously. But obesity is complex.
Advice that suggests the battle with excess weight can be won by simply “eating less and exercising more” fails to take into consideration the complexity of obesity. Treatment that suggests a “fat burning injection” is going to cure the problem fails to take into consideration the complexity of obesity. There is simply NOT a single intervention or approach that will work for everyone. While we know that losing weight often helps address weight related medical conditions, the appropriate approach to excess weight has to be comprehensive, compassionate, and individualized. When choosing our clinic, you can be assured that we will take time to listen to your story, evaluate your medical conditions, and create a treatment plan that reflects your medical needs. Parker Medical Weight Loss and Metabolic Health is a premier, private medical clinic drawing patients from all over the South. Under Dr. Parker’s supervision, our group of nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, administrators, and educators treat patients with the highest level of respect and esteem.

We are here to finally shed light and give answers on the struggle with excess weight and treat weight related medical conditions.

I'm so thankful for Dr. Parker and his staff! They are all so sweet and so helpful with everything! After having a baby, losing weight was so hard. Since my first appointment in October 2018, I've lost 40lbs! I'm so excited! I feel so much better already and have so much more energy. I feel like I can be a better mom.

I used to have daily pain in my hips, feet, and lower back that has vanished. I have energy that I haven't had in 20 years. I'm ready to have a great summer working outdoors in my garden and actually have the stamina to do what I'd almost given up! Thank you for your help and giving me the tools to be successful.

I can't believe I hit the 80 pound mark! I started in a size 16 jeans, and now I am down to a size 4. I also am 5 pounds from hitting my goal weight--which is what I weighed the day I graduated high school. All the credit goes to God. Thank y'all for being the most supportive team!
