Lawrenceville Doctors at Rodriguez MD's Center for Medical Weight Loss Announce Results from Recent Clinical Trial Published in The American Journal of Medicine

    NORCROSS, GA, November 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rodriguez MD, a bilingual Lawrenceville clinic and official Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) in Gwinnett County, GA announces statistical results from an independent study conducted in 2010 and recently published in The American Journal of Medicine. The study shows that patients treated by primary care physicians for reduction in weight and body fat percentage achieved far better results than patients treated in a weight loss clinic:

- Among the 178 participants (43%) who completed 12 weeks of the program, primary care clinics were as effective as weight-loss clinics at achieving reductions in body weight and BMI.
- Primary care clinics outperformed weight-loss clinics with regards to reduction in body fat percentage (3.8% vs. 2.8%), respectively.

In CMWL's most recent clinical study, 95.3% of patients who followed their program were at a lower weight than their starting weight in one year. In addition, since the Gwinnett doctors at Rodriguez MD teach patients how to lose weight and keep it off, participants may experience other health benefits as well. This includes a decrease in dependence on blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol medications.

Striving to help patients safely and effectively lose weight, Rodriguez MD's CMWL offers comprehensive and personalized weight loss programs. Plus, as board certified medical doctors, the Gwinnett physicians at Rodriguez MD can provide a unique set of tools for weight loss that only a medical doctor can offer. "Unlike many commercial programs, our Lawrenceville doctors at Rodriguez MD use metabolism and body composition, mainly fat percentage, as true indicators of the patient's weight loss progress," explains Neville Street, the practice's Administrative Director. "At our Center for Medical Weight Loss we focus on weight loss for better health and offer a customized 3 step approach to achieve results," say Street.

In addition to medical weight loss, the skilled and dedicated staff at Rodriguez MD's Lawrenceville family practice offer a full range of high-quality services, all on-site. Rodriguez MD provides a variety of diagnostic and treatment options and work closely with each patient in order to determine the best course of care.
