Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness Sells First Franchise Under The Physician's Model
Physicians Can Now Offer Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness Program as Part of their Menu of Services
May 16, 2014 // Franchising.com // DAVIE, Fla. - Dr. G's Franchising Companies, LLC, the parent company of Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness, a medically-supervised weight loss and wellness program, has launched a new franchise model to address the demands of a different kind of business owner - a physician with an already successful practice who is looking for an additional revenue stream. The first franchise under the Physician's Model was recently sold to Fit-Life MD in San Antonio, Texas.
Owned by Dr. Francisco Cardona and Dr. Oemil Rodriguez, Fit-Life MD will start offering Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness program on June 16. Featuring a holistic approach to wellness, the facility integrates internal medicine and primary care services with nutrition and fitness consultation, as well as personal training sessions.
"At Fit-Life MD, we believe that in order to achieve optimal health, a person needs to focus on the whole, rather than on an individual aspect of wellness," said Rodriguez. "This is why we are excited to have partnered with Dr. G's and are now able to offer a comprehensive and structured weight loss plan as part of our menu of services. After all, our ultimate goal is to help our clients take control of their health, and achieving a healthy weight is a fundamental aspect of that process."
Unlike most weight loss programs where one size fits all, Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness program is tailored to fit clients' needs, taking into account their blood work, EKG, metabolic rate, body composition, behavioral history and lifestyle aspirations. Following a multi-dimensional approach, individualized plans may incorporate a combination of FDA-approved medication, proprietary herbal supplements, custom meal plans, nutritional products and detailed exercise programs to help clients lose weight and keep it off. Since its creation in 1994, Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness has helped over 125,000 patients lose more than one million pounds.
"We value the expertise and experience that physicians bring to the table," said Charlotte Russell, Chief Executive Officer, Dr. G's Franchising Companies. "The Physician's Model was created with doctors in mind and serves as an alternative to our traditional franchise model, offering a lower cost option to add Dr. G's program into their existing services."
In the Physician's Model, medical practitioners pay a reduced franchise fee, which includes training, and a monthly fee that gives them access to Dr. G's Weight Loss & Wellness' proprietary electronic medical records (EMR) system and provides them with support at the corporate, marketing and call center levels.
"We see great potential in this new model," added Russell. "It provides a profitable solution to existing clinics, medical practices and wellness facilities, while helping patients attain safe and effective results. We look forward to working closely with more physicians and through them helping more people live healthier lives."
