There
are many medical clinics in Taichung, but this
is one of the few to focus on comprehensive weight-loss
programs that offer effective, long-term alternatives
to frequently-unhealthy crash diets and other weight-loss
fads. The clinic is run by Dr. Wang and his wife,
Dr. Wong who has a Ph.D in Nutrition and is a registered
dietician with the American Dietetics Association.
In addition to offering general family-practice
medical services and nutritional counseling, these
two and another full-time nutritionist give each
patient custom-designed weight-loss program, following
a medical check up and session with a dietician
and nutritionist. For patients of all ages, the
focus is on life management and reducing unhealthy
behavior and habits. This is combined with diet
modifications, exercise (the clinic has arrangements
with local gyms) and imported dietary supplements.
Patients are typically put on a two-month program,
but can also pay for individual sessions. The clinic
can also handle English and Japanese speaking clients
by special appointment. The clinic is located near
the Xiang Shang/Wen Xin roads intersection.
