Programs & Services Offered
For more than 20 years, Dr. DeRosimo has focused her career on weight management for men, women, and children by tailoring her care to the needs and goals of each patient. Because the LowCountry Weight & Wellness Center is physician-owned and operated, patients enjoy personalized attention that ensures their program is specific to their individual circumstances.
Patients of the LowCountry Weight & Wellness Center, begin their process with an initial appointment with Dr. DeRosimo. She spends time learning about her patient’s medical background, current eating and exercise patterns, and overall lifestyle in order to determine how these factors may play a role in their weight issues. Patients leave the initial appointment with a personally designed eating plan, not a predesigned generic diet or weight loss menu. Plans include a healthy balance of nutrient-rich foods and foods the patient already enjoys. Allowing patients to continue enjoying some of their favorite foods is one of the many strategies Dr. DeRosimo uses to ensure success. Current activity level will also be discussed during the initial appointment. Depending on the patient’s health status, they will likely be given an exercise prescription in conjunction with their eating plan.
Following the initial appointment, patients return to the LowCountry Weight & Wellness Center on a weekly basis in order to weigh in and discuss any successes or challenges. Weekly check-ins with Dr. DeRosimo and her colleagues continue for the duration of the weight loss program. Once patients achieve their goal weight, they move into maintenance mode and begin checking-in as needed.
Even after completing the medical weight loss program, Dr. DeRosimo continues to keep up with her patients to ensure that they are successfully maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight. She encourages patients to return to the program if they begin to regain even as little as 5-10 lbs, instead of waiting until they have gained back higher amounts. Research shows that it is much easier to manage and reverse weight gain in the early stages.
While the LowCountry Weight & Wellness Center focuses on weight management, Dr. DeRosimo also offers specialized care for a variety of disorders, as well as individual guidance for optimizing each patient’s nutritional strategy.
