About Physicians Weight Control & Wellness
Our Philosophy of Bariatric Medicine and Weight Loss
We believe in making healthy, lifelong changes to your daily eating and exercise patterns. Physician’s Weight Control & Wellness’s programs are different from other weight loss programs in that they are specifically constructed by bariatric specialists to meet each patient’s individual needs based on their body chemistry, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. Our individualized programs focus on providing positive alternatives to unhealthy habits and targeting foods which provide your body with the specific nutrients it needs for optimal energy and fat metabolism. Practical exercise and hydration are also implemented into our overall program.
In addition to our advice in these areas, our patients have the added benefit of physician-prescribed appetite suppressants (diet pills). These medications are all approved and found to be safe and effective by the FDA., and we strictly follow the Obesity Medicine Association’s guidelines for long-term use of diet pills.
We encourage you to become a part of our successful weight loss program. We offer 50 years of safety, experience, knowledge and expertise found nowhere else!
Our Doctors
Dr. Otto Puempel, D.O.
Dr Otto Puempel began practicing Family Medicine in a small office in central Arlington in 1963. He quickly saw a need in the medical field that had yet to be explored and streamlined his focus and commitment into the specialty of Obesity Medicine, also often called Bariatrics. Dr. Puempel has a passion for helping patients return to healthy living and often remarks that his patients teach him far more than he teaches them and enjoys visiting with some who still drop by just to catch up.
Dr. Chris Puempel, MD
After completion of my Family Medicine Residency at Methodist Hospitals of Dallas in 2005, I joined my father in medical practice here at Physicians Weight Control and Wellness. I am board certified in both Bariatric Medicine and Anti-Aging medicine. I am committed to continuing the standard that has been set by Dr Otto of compassionate, individualized care. It is my belief that true health and the best quality of life is a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual health. I strive to incorporate that belief in my patient care and counseling.
