Lorphen Medical, Riverside

Dr. Charles Nguyen knows that losing weight is as much a mental process as it is a physical one. As a psychiatrist, he partners his clinic’s weight-loss programs with behavioral therapy, medication management, and motivational techniques. He and the rest of the center’s staff focus on real-world diet programs, eschewing fad diets in support of maintainable practices, such as limiting carbs or filing a restraining order against bacon. They build their programs with realistic parameters in order to produce long-term results.
