Why We Excel
We are good at what we do because:
|
| TIME: |
The first visit for the office based program for each patient is a 2 hour visit and subsequent visits are an hour each. It is clear that the best results at weight loss occur when the individual patient spends more time with the professional.
|
| PROVEN: |
We use only proven techniques. If a new diet or new technique appears but is without proof, then we do not recommend it. This does not prevent the patient from trying the latest diet. That is not a problem, and we work with the patient with their preferred diet. However, if asked for a recommendation, we offer only that which is proven.
|
| BELIEVE: |
We believe that what the patient tells us is true. Only the patient can know the truth about their situation.
|
| PERSISTENCE: |
We have never run out of ideas to help the patient keep moving forward with weight control. If weight loss has not happened using a particular technique then we move on to another technique or stick with the original idea but approach from a different angle. We have never come to the end of the long list of ideas.
|
IMAGINATIVE:
|
Many techniques are proven to work for weight loss. However, we are all a little different from one another. There is often more than one way to apply a certain proven technique. We are always willing to think of a new way of doing the same thing, so that it suits the different individuals.
|
| PROFESSIONAL: |
We are medical practitioners. This means we have a thorough knowledge of the effects of hormones, exercise, and the physiology of glucose, fats, proteins and the various fuels used in the body. It includes knowledge of the menstrual cycle, fertility, mood problems, joint problems, heart problems, lung problems and many other important medical conditions. As doctors we understand the effect medications can have on weight control and we have a clear understanding of the benefits and disadvantages of medication used for weight loss. With this knowledge we are ideally placed to advise patients about weight loss, keeping in mind the many medical issues which have an impact on the weight.

| EXPERIENCE: |
Neil Peace first began advising patients on weight control in 1980. He has 25 years experience in the field.
|
| MATURITY: |
We are able to adapt to the many different personalities. We use a flexible system, one which can adapt to many personality types.
|
| THOROUGH: |
So many factors have an impact on weight control. One could easily miss an important contribution to the weight. We pride ourselves in being completely thorough in looking for all factors which affect the weight and advising on all options for weight control.
|
| PASSIONATE: |
We believe in what we do. We believe that being overweight is too important to be dealt with in any other way except by giving the patient our full commitment
