You're Not Failing. The Program Was Wrong for You.
Most programs weren't built for your body. Ours is. Real bloodwork. Real answers. And most insurance covers it.

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.
Megan H.
“
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
Here's What We Actually Do — Start to Finish
Your first visit is not a consultation. It's a medical appointment.1
Your History & What's Been Getting in the Way
A member of our bariatrics-specialized clinical team — including APRNs, PAs, and dietitians working under Dr. Charlie Cavo and Michelle Cavo, PA-C — will sit down with you and go through your full history. What you've tried, what worked briefly, what stopped working, and what your body has been telling you that no one has listened to.

Comprehensive Metabolic Bloodwork
We run a full panel — insulin resistance, thyroid, cortisol, glucose, vitamin D, cholesterol, and more. Most of our patients have never had these run together. This is where we find what's actually been getting in the way.
3
A Plan Built Around Your Biology
Not a template. Not a meal plan printed from a website. A treatment plan built for your actual results — your life, your schedule, and what's realistically going to work for you long term.
Common Questions
Have a Quick Question?
No referral needed. You can reach out directly through the form below or call the location nearest you — West Hartford: (860) 906-1289 · Southington: (860) 517-8888 · Glastonbury: (860) 494-2400. We'll take it from there.
We accept most major insurance plans — including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Cigna. Many patients pay only their standard copay. Fill out the form below and we'll verify your coverage for free.
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.
