Thank you for visiting my website.

I will explain my weight reduction program to you in detail at this time.

With my assistant Mrs. Leavy, I have been treating weight problems in Washington since 1974. That gives me more personal experience in treating these problems than any other individual in the area.

My program is successful because I have the training, experience, and knowledge to treat each patient individually. When you come to my office, you will be evaluated and treated by me. I do not hire anonymous, itinerant, traveling doctors or commercially trained, sales oriented, so-called therapists to work in my office.

 

      

Since I am an experienced weight reduction physician, and since I am treating you personally, and since I am personally responsible for your health and safety, you can be sure that I will choose the proper medication for you and your healthy weight loss program.

This is a major important area in which my program differs from and is better than the sales oriented commercial clinics. They usually are run by non-medical entrepreneurs who hire moonlighting inexperienced doctors to write the same prescription for all of their customers. Sort of a one size fits all approach. I do not write prescriptions. I dispense the medications to you free of charge, so you do not have to go somewhere and get a prescription filled.

Many physicians and clinics are attempting to treat overweight patients with medications without paying close attention to the possible dangers of those medications. I have never given a patient medication before I carefully investigated the possible side effects of that medication or combination of medications. I am the only weight doctor or weight program that I know of on the east coast of the United States which never gave the Phen-Fen combination or the Redux or the Pondamin to any patients at any time. The people who came to me to lose weight do not have to worry about heart or lung disease or death from these drugs. I knew that they were dangerous because I had read, studied, and evaluated the medical literature and facts and discovered that these medications were dangerous alone and in combination. For a long time, I was a lonely voice in the wilderness, warning patients and other physicians about these dangers, but almost no one wanted to listen. The patients who did not listen were influenced by the media and other physicians into thinking that these medications were safe and that I, Dr. Beale, was wrong. Maybe the other physicians did not want to listen to the warnings because they were making a lot of money cashing in on the Phen-Fen fad. Now, of course, they are all sorry. Beware now of other medications which may have side effects in you.

You can trust me to watch out for your health.

The average lady on my program loses 11 - 13 pounds per month while gentlemen lose a little more rapidly.

NOTE: Sadly my father was killed in an automobile accident on November 13, 2004. He was a weight loss pioneer for over 30 years and I am proud that we have been able to continue his legacy of caring. This site was designed by my father and so I have left most of it as when he was alive.  To hear his voice about our program, please LISTEN to the recorded message.  For a little more insight into the man that Dr. Beale was, you may read Thoughts From Daddy's Little Girl.  Please feel free to call me directly at the office if you have any questions or concerns.
