Medical Weight Loss
“I weighed 350 pounds at my largest in 1995. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol and suffered from chronic fatigue, migraines, and lower back pain. I joined Weight Watchers and lost 50 pounds but began gaining weight again. In November 2007, my OB/GYN and dear sister-friend uttered these fateful words, “You are TOO BIG!” I weighed 300 pounds, and even on meds, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels were extremely high. I had a new diagnosis, insulin resistance, which complicated weight loss. My friend recommended the Lap-Band weight loss surgery that Dr. Jonathan Taylor performed. On December 19, 2007, Dr. Taylor performed the surgery and it has been a success. The Lap Band, Weight Watchers, and Jesus have made it possible for me to lose a total of 125 pounds! All of my health issues have been resolved. I feel good, and I look fantastic!

Colonoscopy
Special procedures called endoscopy are performed by our doctors for either diagnostic or screening purposes. Upper endoscopy (often referred to as EGD or gastroscopy) is used to study diseases of the upper GI system, while colonoscopy is limited to the lower bowel and at times the very last portion of the small bowel (the ileum). Frequently, a gastroenterologist is consulted in cases of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or change in bowel habits when the diagnosis is unclear or where specialized diagnostic procedures are necessary.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a general term used to describe damage to the optic nerve caused by eye pressure. If Glaucoma is not treated, pressure to the eye increases, causing loss of peripheral (side) vision.
Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology is the study and treatment of disorders and diseases of the eye. This includes performing corrective eye surgeries, implementing laser therapy, as well as using specialized tests and medication to treat the eyes.
Macular Degeneration
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) was originally developed to treat patients who had very poor vision due to corneal disease. The advancement of medical lasers has now made it possible to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The entire surgical process takes place in about 20 minutes and can eliminate the need for corrective lenses.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. This clouding of the lens causes the light to scatter and prevents some light from reaching the retina which then causes blurred vision. This condition usually occurs slowly over time; however, it can also happen quickly.
Cataract Surgery
Through new technological advances, cataract surgery today is faster, more effective and more comfortable for the patient. Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States. More than 20 million Americans over the age of 40 have cataracts, and more than two million people have cataract surgery each year in the United States.
Eye Exam
Dr. Frisard embraces a proactive approach to eye care, seeking to prevent conditions and diseases that can destroy healthy vision. Having a regular eye exam helps prevent countless diseases and provide early detection of others, like diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and more. The eyes often signal a problem in the early stages before it is detectable anywhere else within the body.

The urinary tract system involves many organs including the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
Kidney Stones
Ovarian Cancer
Colon Cancer
Routine screening is recommended for individuals without a colon cancer history starting at age 50 and then repeated every 10 years, provided that there have been no polyps identified. If you have a history of polyps, then your screening intervals will vary and should be discussed with your doctor.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
The Diabetes Recognition Program was designed to acknowledge clinicians who use evidence-based measures and provide excellent care to patients with diabetes. To receive recognition, the Clinic submitted data that demonstrates performance that meets the Program’s key diabetes care measures, including blood pressure, cholesterol and hemoglobin (HbA1c) controls, and eye examinations, among others. When people with diabetes receive quality care as outlined by these measures, they are less likely to suffer complications such as heart attacks, stroke, blindness, kidney disease and amputations.
Endocrinology
Endocrinology is the study of medicine that relates to the body's endocrine system, which controls hormones. Endocrinologists are specially-trained physicians who diagnose diseases related to the glands.
