Wharton Medical Clinic

Wharton Medical Clinic is an accredited, evidence-based, internal medicine clinic specializing in the medical management of obesity and related conditions such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The clinic provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, including pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modification, and referrals to bariatric surgery, but does not directly perform surgeries. Their programs are based on Canadian and international clinical guidelines and include both adult and pediatric weight management. The clinic emphasizes a patient-centered approach, research participation, and group educational sessions. Long-term weight maintenance, not just weight loss, is a core objective, and care is typically transitioned back to primary providers after about a year.
