Adult Weight Loss Program
Our adult weight loss program involves a combination of FDA approved prescription medications and natural supplements combined with diet and exercise. The main effects of the medications are to decrease overall appetite and cravings while increasing an individual’s metabolism and energy level. Individuals will not only feel less hungry, but will also feel full quicker from their meals and hence eat smaller portions. There are no frozen or boxed foods, we believe our patients should be eating real food, just making smarter choices and eating smaller portions. Consumption of regular food makes the transition from weight loss to maintenance much easier, as individuals will be eating the same types of food during the program. You will see the doctor on the first office visit as part of your initial evaluation, as well as, throughout your weight loss journey. This is an important element of losing weight because each person's program is designed specifically for their individual needs. We do not use a generic formula, sometimes the medications, diet or exercise program must be changed in order to keep achieving optimum results. There is no “one size fits all” model that works for everyone and this makes the continual doctor evaluation so important to help people reach their goal weight no matter what obstacle presents itself.
Kids Weight Loss Program
The kid’s weight loss program is similar to the adult, in that aspect that is also physician supervised. The doctor will provide education on nutrition and exercise, as well as, utilize a combination of medications to help decrease appetite and cravings. This in turn will help kids feel satisfied while eating smaller portions. The goal is for kids to eat less and still feel satisfied rather than struggling with hunger throughout the day. Exercise and healthy eating are critical for all the kids that enroll into the program in order to start instilling lifelong healthy habits. Although we provide many of the critical tools needed to help initiate and continue the weight loss process, having the family involved is of the utmost importance. If the child is trying to follow a healthier lifestyle and the rest of the family is not, getting long lasting results will be extremely difficult. The doctor takes great pride in restoring a kids self esteem as they are losing weight and commence a path towards a healthier lifestyle.
Weight Maintenance Program
IV Vitamin Therapy
Dr. Valdes is proud to introduce his all new weight maintenance formula that was developed to help patients keep their weight off once they achieve their goal weight! Our program is designed for the long-term to help you maintain long lasting results! This single capsule will help take the edge off your appetite and cravings after you have completed the standard weight loss program. Simultaneously we shift the nutritional and exercise recommendations with the intent to maintain a healthy and lifestyle in order to improve your chances for success. It is important to realize that what we eat and what type if exercise we do will change depending if someone needs to lose weight or just wants to maintain. Dr. Valdes' feels that this simple concept is not well understood and in many cases leads to the undesired yoyo diet effect.
IV Vitamin infusions allows us to directly deliver vitamins, minerals and amino acids straight into the body in order to allow maximum absorption of these nutrients. The benefit to this form of therapy is that we are delivering higher doses of supplements to the body at the cellular level that would not be possible by taking supplements orally.
B12 Energy Shots
Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble B complex vitamin found naturally in a variety of foods, including meat, fish and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 is also added to some foods and is available as a dietary supplement. Vitamin B-12 injections are commonly prescribed to help prevent or treat anemia and B-12 deficiency. Vitamin B-12 DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS include: Depression and mood disorders, Fatigue, Memory failure, Anemia, Low blood pressure, and High homocysteine levels. While the shot addresses B12 deficiency, we also may prescribe B-12 injections to boost energy, as a therapy for depression, or to drive cognitive function.

Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) Injections consist of a blend of lipotropic, i.e. fat mobilizing amino acids, which are capable of: enhancing liver function by assisting in the metabolism of fat cells; aiding in the prevention of cholesterol buildup; and helping to remove debilitating toxins from your liver. L-methionine is an amino acid, inositol and choline are cofactors, and together they aid in the elimination of abnormal fat cell deposits.
Aesthetic Procedures
In addition to practicing weight loss for over 12 years, Dr. Valdes has been doing aesthetic procedures to help restore his patients youthful appearance. The most common in office procedures are Botox and Dermafillers.
Dermafillers
Botox
Dermafillers are primarily a soft tissue filler composed of hyaluronic acid. These fillers are injected beneath the skin to help fill in areas that have lost volume over time and created deep lines in the face. The most common area treated is the fold (line that forms) between the lower edge of the nose to the angle of the mouth. However, fillers are used the lift the cheeks, increase the volume of the lips and fill the deficits that form at the edge of the mouth. The average dermafiller effect can last about 10 - 12 months, although the effects vary from person to person.
Botox is a chemical that blocks nerve signals from reaching the muscle and stopping the muscle from contracting. This effect leads to muscle relaxation below the skin that in turn leads to softening of facial wrinkles. The most common areas treated are the forehead and crow's feet (lines found in the outer edge of the eyes), although it can be used in many other problem areas. The effect of softening existing wrinkle lines on average last approximately 3 months (although effect varies among patients).
