Specialties

Where typical diets fail, we succeed. At the Petteruti Center in Warwick, RI, we know that maintaining a healthy weight is often easier said than done. The first step toward your weight loss success is understanding that persistent difficulty with weight control is a medical problem that requires the right combination of medical care, lifestyle changes, and most importantly, individualized guidance and support.

Based on your unique needs, we combine prescription medications and supplements with nutrition for successful, permanent weight loss.

Our patients are successful because we understand them. We believe that significant weight is not a character flaw and difficulty losing weight is not an indictment of willpower.
