Introduction
Overweight and obesity, like many other chronic medical problems, require specialized treatment. We believe that weight disorders must be treated by compassionate and knowledgeable professionals who take advantage of the latest scientific developments and tailor treatment to each patient's individual needs.
The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Weight Center includes some of the best health professionals anywhere in the world. We offer a complete range of services to overweight patients, from nutritional, exercise and psychological counseling to state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatment of weight disorders. We are committed to life-long care of our patients and have designed our programs to encourage close, long-term follow-up.
The MGH Weight Center offers expert consultation and treatment for both adults and children, emphasizing family-based therapy whenever appropriate. All clinical care in the MGH Weight Center is provided under the direction of an MGH physician, honoring the strictest patient confidentiality.
The MGH Weight Center is strongly committed to advancing our understanding of the causes, complications and effective treatment of weight disorders. We have an active and diverse clinical research program, and we strongly encourage our patients to participate and become our partners in this important research effort.
