What problem/issue were you looking to address that led you to me?
After struggling with my weight for 15 years and trying various programs to address the issue I decided to seek help from a weight loss physician. I was completely frustrated by my inability to lose weight. I was working out, counting calories and seeing no results. Although I didn’t experience typical health problems like high cholesterol, diabetes or high blood pressure carrying extra weight was making complex back issues and gastrointestinal issues harder for me to manage. When I mentioned to my gastrointestinal doctor that I was searching for a weight management physician and was having trouble finding one that was right for me, she recommended Dr. Mittal. I knew from our initial meeting that she was the right doctor to help me.
How did I help you address your problem?
Dr. Mittal thoroughly examined my overall health history and medications. She listened to me and heard my challenges and concerns. The plan she developed for me was tailored to my specific health issues and needs. In addition to changes in my diet she also made impactful adjustments to my medications. She and her staff are always supportive and caring in helping me achieve my health goals.
What was unique about this program for you compared to other times you sought help?
Dr Mittal creates a plan that is specific to your needs.She gives you goals and the tools to achieve them. She and her staff are there to support you and genuinely care about their patients. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that everyone’s journey to lose weight is different and it can be much more complex than calories.
How has this experience changed your life or health?
I have been a patient of Dr. Mittal’s for almost two years. The first year I saw her monthly and lost over 45 pounds. For the last year I have been seeing her every other month for weight maintenance. I feel like my old self! I think the biggest surprise to me was the toll my weight issue had taken on my mental health. Being able to wake up every day and not think about needing to lose weight has been so freeing.
