Pediatricians

You don’t need to book an appointment or call us! Ask your pharmacist to fax us a prescription renewal request—your doctor will review, sign, and send it back if appropriate.

Ensuring you have enough prescription until your next doctor’s visit is your responsibility. Pharmacist and other providers may not always know about all changes in your medications, medical status and adjustments made by your family doctor or specialists.

We receive hundreds of prescription requests by pharmacist weekly, sometimes even months before due day! Our staff and doctors spend hours classifying, documenting and reviewing charts before a prescription is refilled. These time and resources can be better used to provide care to more patients.

You can help us by ensuring to book an appointment before you run out of prescriptions or remind the doctor to refill them during your visit.

You can request your pharmacist to fax the prescription refill, at that time your doctor will decide if the request can be filled or if you have to come in.

You can also send us a request HERE and we will answer within 48 hrs.

Your doctor has the duty to safely prescribe medications.

OPTIFAST® 900 supports weight loss by replacing regular meals with shakes that are both calorie-controlled and nutritionally complete. This approach helps your body create a calorie deficit while still getting essential vitamins, minerals, and protein, making weight loss both safe and effective.

OPTIFAST® 900 is generally suited for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or for those who have health concerns related to excess weight. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any structured weight loss plan.

Long-term success comes from adopting healthy habits. Continue to follow a balanced eating plan, stay active, watch your portion sizes, and check in with a healthcare professional regularly to stay on track.

You’ll be personally cared for by Dr. Soto and RN Marcela Tortello, who will guide you every step of the way. Our program also includes access to advanced medical machines that measure your body composition and metabolic rate, helping us tailor your plan for the best results.

Most participants complete the program within 18 to 26 weeks. It’s divided into three stages — active weight loss, gradual food reintroduction, and maintenance — designed for sustainable results.

Yes. OPTIFAST® 900 is part of a medically supervised weight management program that has been shown in clinical studies to be both safe and effective when monitored by qualified health professionals.

No. While it’s a very effective option for structured, medically supervised weight loss — especially for people with weight-related health issues — other methods can work too. A balanced diet and regular exercise are key regardless of the plan you choose. Talk to your doctor to find the approach that’s right for you.

We take the patient’s blood is a small vial and spin it in a specialized centrifuge. This causes the platelets and growth factors to separate from rest of the blood. This is then extracted in a specialized way to form the PRP

Due to the growth factors in the PRP, it can stimulate dormant hair follicles at the site where PRP is applied.

It is important to be assessed as soon as possible to determine the eligibility. It can differ case by case.

Because the PRP is made from the patient’s own blood, the risks are minimal to none. Common risks include mild bleeding at site of injection, tiny bit of discomfort and mild swelling at the site of injection.

It can be very effective for the right individual! A few factors determine the results such as your platelet count, the level of hair loss and the type of hair loss.

One of the factors that determine results is the concentration of PRP. We use Eclipse PRP preparation instruments. These tools allow us to achieve a concentration of PRP that is more concentrated than any other products available at this time. Therefore from a product preparation point of view, we are confident that this is the best that can be delivered to our patients at this time.

Book a free consultation with no commitment and we will explain all the options and expectations.
