My name is Maria Dodd and I am a Physician Assistant (PA-C) with Discreet Wellness. I became extremely passionate about weight management many years ago; however, my training in women’s health and bariatric surgery further augmented my interest in helping others get their health and life back. As an advocate for all those suffering with weight issues, I am a firm believer that obesity is a chronic illness, and should be treated as such. By providing access to these medications, as well as utilizing telemedicine, we are able to impact the lives of those who previously believed that these medications are unattainable or unaffordable. The joy I receive by helping my patients lose weight and gain confidence, all while experiencing multiple other benefits, is immeasurable.
