About Us

it's a marathon... not a sprint!

Since 2014, me and my team have worked together with thousands of Hoosiers suffering from excessive body weight. Most of our new patients learned about us and our results by word of mouth. Others were sent our way from other clinics in town that needed their patients to lose the weight and improve various medical conditions such as back pain, sleep apnea, diabetes and even fertility problems.

In our own state of Indiana, the prevalence of adult obesity is 30% (66% overweight) – according to Center for Disease Control (2012).

Although I am specialized and understood obesity medicine very well, I quickly learned that the key to success was by listening to each an every single patient’s unique story. And then try to figure out together what works best for them in terms of treatments and lifestyle options.

“…listening to each an every single patient’s unique story.”

Currently, I am only seeing patients online via telemedicine. I do still follow the same procedures and treatment plans as we have provided in the “real” clinic. I truly hope this will help in maintaining the long term relationships we have developed over the years with thousands of patients and their families.

And best weight loss results too!

Family Practice & Obesity Medicine.
Hi, I’m Dr. Moe. I trained and worked as a family physician for more than ten years before starting a weight loss program for my patients affected by obesity and overweight.

I am interested in helping change this trajectory of weight gain in our society and see folks become healthy and happy again.
