If you’re struggling with your weight, you’re not alone. More than 30% of adults in Indiana are obese. Leading endocrinologist Dr. N.

Call the office or book an appointment online to get started.
Dr. Hassan works directly with you to develop a weight-loss plan that fits your goals and lifestyle. His program includes a diet plan and the prescription weight-loss medication phentermine (if needed).
As you get closer to your goal weight, Dr. Hassan may modify your plan to help you maintain your weight loss.
Rate of weight loss varies from person to person. Dr. Hassan works with you to develop realistic weekly weight loss goals.
While you may lose weight quickly during the first month or so of the weight-loss program, slowing down to a one- to two-pound weekly weight loss is acceptable and healthy until you reach your goal weight.
Dr. Hassan’s diet plan consists of a variety of healthy food choices. It’s not a starvation or fad diet. His goal is to help you lose weight and learn how to eat right to keep the weight off.
A healthy weight-loss diet is filled with nutritious foods from all four food groups, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and healthy fats. These foods not only maximize your nutrient intake, but they also keep you feeling full.
An appetite suppressant is a weight-loss medication that reduces your appetite, so you eat less. Dr. Hassan prescribes the medication to help you in your weight loss efforts. Appetite suppressants alone can’t help you lose weight. It works best when combined with Dr. Hassan’s diet plan.
Dr. Hassan prescribes appetite suppressants for only a short period, usually three to six weeks, to help jumpstart your weight loss efforts.
Losing weight offers several benefits, including:
Weight loss also may help you feel better about yourself and your appearance.
As your weight-loss coach and healthcare advocate, Dr. Hassan wants nothing more than to see you succeed and will do all that he can to make it happen.
