Overview

The facility works in conjunction with Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics which allows the facility to provide patients with a full continuum of care.

Iowa Weight Loss Specialists approaches obesity as a chronic medical condition and utilizes physician oversight, education and behavior modification in order to assist patients with sustainable weight loss and improved overall health.

Medical Director

Todd Eibes, MD is the owner and primary physician at the clinic. He is a physician who specializes in bariatric and weight loss medicine and manages both surgical and non-surgical treatment programs. Dr. Eibes performs patient evaluations, makes determinations as to patient eligibility for weight loss procedures or medications and supervises patient long-term weight management strategies. In addition to these duties, Dr. Eibes works with patients throughout all stages of their weight loss journey, from their first consultation to post-treatment maintenance, ensuring that each patient receives safe, effective and individualized care.

GLP-1 and Medical Weight Loss Programs

Iowa Weight Loss Specialists offers a medically supervised weight loss program that incorporates lifestyle changes and nutritional counseling with the use of prescription medications. Each person’s individual needs are evaluated using clinical guidelines to find the right combination of both surgical and non-surgical options according to their qualifications. Our weight management programs typically involve physician consultations, meal plans, behavioral coaching, and regular follow-up appointments. The Iowa Weight Loss Specialists website emphasizes that medical management is a comprehensive way for managing weight, but the patient can receive a variety of different types of medications (including appetite suppressants and other newer medications) as determined through the clinical assessment process.

All patients must have a consultation with one of the physicians at Iowa Weight Loss Specialists before developing a personalized treatment plan and obtaining a detailed pricing estimate.
