Thinique to Open Weight Loss Clinic in McDowell Mountain Ranch

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Aug. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- —Arizona’s first Thinique^tm Medical Weight Loss Clinic is opening its doors Tuesday, August 13, in McDowell Mountain Ranch at 15033 N. Thompson Peak Parkway, Scottsdale.

Thinique, a physician supervised medical weight loss franchise is coming to the Scottsdale area. The first Thinique clinic that will be opening in the state of Arizona is owned by local businesswoman Christina Ybanez and managed by her sister, Catherine. The concept behind Thinique is that the fastest, most predictable path to long term weight loss is a program that combines a diet that is sustainable, along with an exercise and behavior medication regimen for lasting results. Typical patients can lose up to 15 to 20 pounds the first month, and up to 2 to 5 pounds a week thereafter.

The opening day celebration will include a free body fat analysis for those in attendance; sampling of Thinique’s popular line of delicious, protein shakes, bars, and snacks; special discount giveaways; and a personal meet and greet with the medical team.

The medical director for the clinic is Dr. Heather Elwood-Born, who earned her MD from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD, in 1999. What attracted Dr. Elwood-Born to the Thinique model?

 “I loved Thinique’s commitment to a weight loss program which places patients under the care of medical professionals,” she stated. “That means every patient is treated individually, according to their weight loss needs and medical history. There’s no one-size-fits-all program. As a physician, I can recommend a program that fits a patient’s demanding lifestyle. We will be performing mini physical exams, lab tests, vitamin B injections and appetite suppressants to help patients shed pounds faster, break through plateaus, and ultimately achieve their weight loss goals. This program will benefit thousands of Scottsdale residents and is affordable with no long term contracts and no appointments necessary after the initial 2 visits.”

Once opened, clinic hours will be Mon-Thurs: 10am -7pm, Fri-Sat: 9am -2pm, and closed Sundays. Walk-ins are welcome. More information is available at the Thinique website, www.thinique.com.
