Contrary to other weight loss programs, ABC Weight Management believe that each individual that walks into our clinic is unique. Our goal is to get to the root problem behind your weight issue. There is much more than just diet and exercise ! You do not need to sign a long term contract for our services, however we do want our patients to be realistic with their goals, attend all booked appointments and commit to regular visits for at least 6 months. We are health care professionals trained in weight management. Many commercial programs that are out there often do not have the medical experience or education to assist in the complexities of weight management. We do not judge. You have a life story unlike anyone else and ABC is a safe place for you to feel welcome, to learn and to work towards achieving a healthier quality of life.

We believe that obesity and related medical conditions should be managed in a healthcare environment. Dr. Soto's physician fees for ongoing follow-up visits in our weight loss program are covered by OHIP.​

You do NOT require a referral for the initial Comprehensive Nutrition and Fitness Assessment.

Weight management is not only about losing weight, but about improving quality of life by enhancing your health and reducing the risk of medical complications. Many overweight people are healthy, have healthy eating habits, and perform a good amount of physical activity; therefore, weight gain prevention may be all that is needed. Whatever your health and weight goals, we can help you achieve them.

Please call us: 905-503-4002 or email us. We'll answer any questions you might have and explain how to get started.

Dr. Soto may prescribe weight loss medications only as part of the weight management program. Studies have shown the benefits of these medications ONLY in the context of a comprehensive medical weight loss program.

If you are only looking for a quick prescription solution, this program is not for you.
