Ask your own doctor or specialist first. Then try the bariatric, weight management or nutition area of your local hospital, by phone or website. Ask your pharmacist which doctors prescribe weight loss medicines in your area.
In 1950, a non-profit international professional medical association, dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of overweight, obesity and related disorders, was formed - The American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP). Members of the ASBP are trained to treat overweight and obese persons.
To access the ASBP directory and view a listing of ASBP doctors by state, please click here.
Or, if you prefer, you may contact the society directly:
