MD Helps Clients with Weight Loss, More

David Medway, M.D., has recently opened his practice in Thousand Oaks devoted to comprehensive physical exams and weight control.

Dr. Medway uses multiple modalities to help with weight control depending on the needs of the individual patient ranging from nutrition instruction, personalized meal replacements and medications. He also uses acupuncture point stimulation techniques in his practice for weight control.

Medway doesn’t perform obesity surgery because he believes that his alternatives to surgery should be considered first––before invasive surgery––because of the potential complications with these surgeries. However, Medway manages these patients following these types of surgeries to ensure good long-term outcomes.

In addition to comprehensive physical exams for his weight control program, Medway also does comprehensive adult physical exams for health screening, pre-op and pre-employment physical exams as well as physical exams for personal injury cases.

After receiving a degree in psychology from UCLA. Medway attended medical school at George Washington University followed by an internal medicine residency. He has earned board certification in internal medicine and in addition has received his Certified Nutrition Specialist award from UC Irvine Medical Center. Medway is an assistant clinical professor and obesity research co-investigator at UC Irvine.

His practice is at 2100 Lynn Road, Ste. 120, next to Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. For more information or an appointment, please call (818) 342-0215.
