MOBILE, Alabama – USA Health announces the launch of the USA Health Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss, a medical office designed to help individuals achieve their weight-loss goals through a wide range of personalized treatment options.

Located at 6304 USA Health Blvd., Suite C, in Mobile, the center offers a full spectrum of care from bariatric surgery and medically supervised weight-loss programs to ongoing lifestyle coaching from registered dietitians. Its multidisciplinary team of experts provides customized plans that address each patient’s unique needs and support long-term success.

“This new multidisciplinary center represents a major step forward in how we help people in our community lead longer, healthier lives,” said Danuel Laan, M.D., FACS, FASMBS, a bariatric and general surgeon at the center. “We’re proud to provide both surgical and non-surgical options for weight loss.”

The Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss offers:

• Bariatric surgery including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, all performed by board-certified surgeons with specialized training.
• Physician-guided weight-loss programs that incorporate nutrition, exercise, and behavioral therapy.
• Ongoing education and support from an expert dietitian focused on long-term weight management and overall wellness.

Whether patients are looking for surgical solutions or non-invasive support, the center is committed to providing safe, evidence-based options in a caring environment.

“Weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey,” said Richard R. Rieske, M.D., a gastrointestinal surgeon who will also see patients at the new location. “We meet patients where they are and help them take steps toward a healthier future, with the tools and support they need to succeed.”
