Patient Stories
Real Patients. Real Results.
“
I was referred to the West Hartford location and I haven't looked back. Dietitian Liz White has been with me every step of the way. I'm down 120 pounds and now weigh 180 at age 50. I genuinely didn't think that was possible.

“
I spent three years going from one doctor to another with no real answers. Dr. Cavo, Liz, and the whole staff actually sat down with me and looked at what was going on. I'm almost 30 pounds down and for the first time someone is treating the actual problem.

“
I've tried more diets than I can count. The Southington office is something different — APRN Kristen and Dietician Pam know your name, know your chart, and genuinely care. I finally feel like I have a real team in my corner.

Your First Appointment
Finally Understand Why It Never Worked. And What Actually Will.
In one appointment, you get real testing, real answers, and a plan built around your body.1
Finally Be Heard by People Who Get It
You sit down with our bariatrics-specialized clinical team: APRNs, PAs, and dietitians working under Dr. Charlie Cavo and Michelle Cavo, PA-C. They walk through your full history. What you've tried, what worked for a while, what stopped, and what your body has been telling you that no one has taken seriously. You leave understood, not judged.

Get Real Answers, in Black and White
We run comprehensive metabolic bloodwork: insulin resistance, thyroid, cortisol, glucose, vitamin D, cholesterol, and more. Most patients have never had these run together. This is where the real reason it's been so hard finally shows up, so you stop guessing and start treating the actual cause.

Leave With a Plan That Fits Your Life
No template. No meal plan printed off a website. You walk out with a treatment plan built around your actual results, your schedule, and what will realistically keep working for you. Something you can finally stick with, for good.

Most of our patients have. That's exactly why they came to us. We don't start with a meal plan. We start with bloodwork. If you've been told to "eat less and move more" without anyone looking at your metabolism, hormones, or insulin levels, there's a good chance nobody has treated the actual problem yet.
