ABOUT US

Our Commitment to Your Weight Loss Journey

For more than 30 years, Associates in Wellness has been helping individuals achieve healthier lives through compassionate, provider-guided weight management. Founded by Dr. David P. Willett, MD in 1989, the practice was established long before medical weight loss became widely accepted or mainstream.

At a time when weight loss medicine was often misunderstood and considered taboo, Dr. Willett recognized that having excess weight is a complex medical condition—not simply a matter of willpower. He believed patients deserved evidence-based medical care, personalized treatment, and a provider who truly understood the challenges of long-term weight management.

That commitment to patient care became the foundation of Associates in Wellness.

In 2016, Dr. Willett's daughter, Carlin Willett, DNP, assumed leadership of the practice, continuing the mission her father began decades earlier. Having grown up witnessing his dedication to improving patients' lives, she carries forward the same passion for helping individuals achieve lasting weight loss and better overall health.

Today, Associates in Wellness combines decades of experience with today's medical advancements to provide personalized weight management programs tailored to each patient's unique goals and health needs. Whether through comprehensive medical evaluations, lifestyle coaching, nutrition guidance, or provider-supervised weight loss medications when appropriate, every treatment plan is designed with one goal in mind: helping patients achieve safe, sustainable results. While weight loss medicine has evolved significantly over the years, one thing has remained the same—our commitment to treating every patient with respect, compassion, and individualized care. At Associates in Wellness, we believe lasting success begins with understanding each person's unique journey and providing the medical expertise and support they need every step of the way.

What our Patients are saying

"After years of trying every diet imaginable, I finally found a program that actually worked for me. The staff took the time to understand my goals, answered all of my questions, and created a plan that fit my lifestyle. I've lost weight, have more energy, and feel healthier than I have in years. I only wish I had started sooner!"

"From my very first appointment, I felt supported instead of judged. The team genuinely cares about your success and checks in every step of the way. My confidence has completely changed, and the improvements in my health have been even more rewarding than the number on the scale."

"I was looking for a medically supervised weight loss program that focused on long-term results, not quick fixes. This practice exceeded my expectations. The personalized guidance, encouragement, and accountability made all the difference. I feel stronger, healthier, and more motivated than ever."
