Chronic Conditions We Manage

The Advantage of Primary Care and Weight Loss in One Practice

Many chronic conditions are closely connected to weight. Because Dr. Briones is board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine, she can manage your health conditions and your medical weight loss program together. As you lose weight, she monitors blood pressure, blood sugar, and lab results and adjusts medications when it is safe to do so. That coordinated approach means fewer appointments, less confusion, and better outcomes.

Whole-Person Care

Dr. Briones takes an integrative approach that looks at your nutrition, sleep, stress, and hormones as well as your symptoms. When hormone imbalance is part of the picture, she may recommend bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. For hydration and nutrient support, IV therapy is also available.
