Your patient will be followed by a nutrition physician specialist for subsequent appointments. The patient is strongly encouraged to join one of our weekly weight management support groups. We are committed to providing a high level of assistance to our physician colleagues within BMC and outside of the BMC system, as well. Whether for diagnostics, treatment, a single consultation, second opinion or ongoing follow up, our physicians will keep the consulting physician fully informed of the patient's treatment plan and coordinate long term management. |
