Able Weight Loss Center

Our Philosophy

Many people try to treat weight problems with faddish crash diets. Others with unproven drugs and questionable herbal remedies. These methods can and usually offer only short-lived success.
There is no substitute for a sensible diet and exercise program.

Weight Control and Longevity Center uses a multi-model program (including diet modification, exercise, diet and medication if indicated) tailored to the individual patient. This is the only successful means of obtaining long term control of obesity / overweight and eating disorders.

Dr. Robert B. Bell, D.O., Board Certified in Family Practice & Member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, offers medically supervised weight loss programs.

Multiple Programs Available - Appetite Suppressants optional.
FDA approved medication
Permanent Weight Control with individualized maintenance
Consultation with the Doctor on each visit
