General Info

Dr. Periasamy is board certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. She has 27 years of experience in this field, having treated more than 25,000 obesity patients. Most of her patients will lose at least 10 percent of their body weight in six months."I believe in scientifically proven, affordable treatment within easy reach of most patients," Dr. Periasamy says. "The good thing about obesity management is not just shedding weight, but to transform the patient to follow a healthy lifestyle. Just by 10 percent weight loss, diabetes and hypertension will be controlled. Coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular disease and peripheral vascular disease will be better managed. Chronic low back pain, knee pain and plantar pain will be better. Obstructive sleep apnea will be better. Menstrual irregularities secondary to PCOS will be corrected and fertility will be improved. Often we are able to reduce the medications that patients are taking for these problems. We are aiming for a healthy, happy and medicine-free life!"
