    Joseph

  • "I cannot recommend Dr. Yanchuk and Remedy Metabolic Health more. If I could give 6 stars I would. I initially came to the practice for weight loss. However, after taking an incredibly detailed history from me, Dr. Yanchuk identified several other changes I needed to make that have changed my life. Since following through with her recommendations I have not only lost weight but have began to feel in control of my health for the first time in a long time. If you are looking for a doctor that will help you take a comprehensive look at your health, advocate for you, truly LISTEN to your needs/concerns, and collaborate with you to reach your goals, this is the clinic for you!"

    Tamara

  • "I highly recommend Dr. Yanchuk. She is the first doctor that has taken the time to address the root causes of my concerns, rather than treat me with "quick fixes". She is very compassionate and a great listener. I am so thankful to be working with her on my journey to good health."

  • No. We accept PPOs, which do not require a referral.

  • Yes. Although you have very frequent visits with your obesity medicine specialist, you are required to have a primary care provider. It is essential that you maintain a continuous connection with a PCP in case we come across any concerns during your weight loss progress that are not linked to your metabolic well-being. In such instances, it is crucial to collaborate closely with your PCP to ensure you receive the necessary assessment and care. By engaging and aligning with your primary care team, we aim to offer you integrated, secure, and top-quality healthcare.

  • No. Unlike some other programs, we don’t require a minimum BMI of 30 to get our help. However, please be aware that this may lead to an insurance denial and cost passed on to you. Based on current scientific findings, BMI is considered an unreliable indicator of metabolic health. It tends to overestimate health risks in certain populations and significantly underestimate these risks in others.
