CHESAPEAKE, VA, June 1, 2008 -- Tidewater Bariatrics of Chesapeake was recognized by citizen voters as one of the best weight loss centers in Chesapeake during The Virginian-Pilot's 2008 "Best of Hampton Roads" contest.
"This is a great honor that lets us know our patients value our work," said Dr. Margaret Gaglione, the medical weight loss clinic's founder and director.
Tidewater Bariatrics was the bronze award winner even though it's only been in business since April 2007.
"Our health care team puts patient care above everything else, and that's a winning formula," says Clinic Nurse Lee Ann Mandalaris. "It's also a plus that we have great patients who attend weekly medical weight loss appointments and nutrition classes, and dedicate themselves to lifelong change -- not just quick fixes which sound great but rarely have a lasting effect. We place great pride in the opportunity to help people with a disease that frustrates not only our patients but most medical doctors as well."
Tidewater Bariatrics serves patients in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the entire Hampton Roads area.
