PATIENTS DESERVE RESPECT TOO!
Is it OK if we talk about your weight?
Many patients in the traditional healthcare system feel frustrated and unheard when a doctor simply tells them to “eat less, move more” to address health issues like high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
Dr. Lessing discusses why it is so important to find a doctor who listens and treats overweight and obesity with sensitivity and empathy.
Obesity Treatment With Semaglutide?!?
Struggling to lose weight?
Obesity is a chronic and complex disease that requires a multifaceted approach. It is not as simple as just eating less and moving more. Semaglutide, a medication that increases GLP-1 hormone levels, is a promising treatment option for addressing the hormone imbalances involved in obesity.
Dr. Suzy Lessing educates that using Semaglutide to treat obesity is not only safe but effective. This medicine helps treat a hormone problem related to obesity in a similar way that hypothyroidism and menopausal symptoms are treated with hormone therapy.

Dr. Suzy Lessing shares valuable healthcare tips on certain situations when antibiotics should be used such as strep throat, pneumonia, and bacterial sinus infections.
Tylenol? Ibuprofen? Both?
It’s not uncommon for patients to wonder whether they should take ibuprofen or Tylenol when they’re feeling unwell. If you’re a generally healthy adult without liver disease, kidney disease, stomach ulcers, or other chronic diseases, you can take both ibuprofen and Tylenol at the same time.
