About Us

JB Medical Wellness Clinic Values its patients and their health. We strive to help our patients lose weight in a safe and healthy manner. To help our patients reach their weight loss goals, we combine a healthy diet; exercise advice, as appropriate; and prescription appetite suppressant medication. The appetite suppressants are in a class of medications called stimulants. These medications have been prescribed for short-term medical weight loss for many decades and are considered relatively safe for most people. There are however, inherent risks associated with these medications. Certain medical conditions and medications conflict with the use of appetite suppressants. For this reason, it is important that we have accurate and updated information about your health and physical condition before we determine if an appetite suppressant is appropriate for you.
