Unique Approach to Weight Loss Hits Houston
Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare
The physicians and staff at Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare realize that it’s not one size fits all; each patient is different with their own weight loss challenges. They are taking a unique approach to weight-loss with their new clinic and program. The clinic, which includes an in-house pharmacy and laboratory, has its own appetite suppressant that helps curb appetite and increase metabolism. Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare has developed a program that works with the patient from start to finish on their weight loss journey.
The initial visit includes a physical exam, laboratory testing and questionnaire. After evaluating the results a physician will develop a customized weight-loss program. This could include the use of pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, diet modification, exercise plan and even weight-loss surgery when appropriate. In most cases the physician will recommend the appetite suppressant and metabolism supplement to jump start weight loss and increase activity.
The team of physicians at Advanced Diagnostic Healthcare is committed to helping Houstonians lose weight and keep it off for good. Please call 713-227-5900 today to schedule your appointment.

Community is Key
M. D. Anderson in
The Woodlands
A healthy community is the goal to the team at the M. D. Anderson Radiation Treatment Center in The Woodlands. Dr. Pamela Schlembach, radiation oncologist, not only works at The Woodlands center, she and most of her team also live in The Woodlands or the surrounding area. She frequently works with community physicians to establish a coordinated approach to care for her patients.
“My patients can have other things going on with them like diabetes and high blood pressure, so I regularly talk with their other physicians to discuss symptoms and coordinate certain elements of care. ”
Dr. Schlembach is active in the community, and as a result, is a familiar and friendly face to many in The Woodlands.
“Because I live and work in The Woodlands, people in the community get to know me, and I ’m able to build rapport with them.”
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Schlembach or to learn more about the services M. D. Anderson in The Woodlands offers, call 713-563-0050 or visit mdanderson.org/woodlands.
