In the Warren community, our patients recognize Kelly Hembree as manager of our Medical Weight Loss Clinic location. While she’s been with our staff for more than 3 years, taking on this role represented a major career decision for Kelly. And we’re glad she’s never looked back.

“I had been working for an orthodontist for 27 years,” Kelly says. After doing a Fast Track program with Medical Weight Loss Clinic, she inquired about an opportunity to come and work for the company. She was offered a position and, after a lot of thought, ultimately decided to take a chance and join our Michigan-based company.

These days you’ll find Kelly in our Warren location, overseeing the daily needs at the clinic and of course, counseling patients in their weight loss journeys.

“I love working with patients who come in nervous and not sure that this is going to work,” she says. “Many have tried other options and they feel this is it. Being able to keep them motivated and to see the change in their posture and how they carry themselves as they lose the weight is worth all the hours (I spend) working.”

She understands her patients in a personal way because she’s been through the journey herself.

“Having done the program is a great help when talking to a patient who isn’t sure this is the program for them,” Kelly says. “I have my ‘before and after’ picture in my office and it does help when talking about the program. I also feel that having done this program helps when a patient is struggling to stick to plan - and I can relate to them.”

Patients at all levels of their weight loss journey can count on Medical Weight Loss Center to provide counselors like Kelly, who truly understand the struggle, and can help them overcome the challenges they face. Kelly has seen results over the years – for herself and her patients. And she says the initial weight loss goal is only the start of a lifetime of healthy living.

“I believe patients respond so well to the program because our programs use regular grocery store food,” she says. “We are teaching them how they can live a healthy life during and after our program has helped them reach their goal. We teach them at the end of their program how to be able to eat the things they were eating before - and how to keep the weight off.”

Kelly knows that patients will experience ups and downs through the process. But she is there to help. The personalized support and attention that’s always been a cornerstone of Medical Weight Loss Clinic’s programs can mean the difference for anyone who’s struggled to eat and live healthier.   

“The best part is - not only will we get them to their goal - but then we will teach them how to stay there,” she adds. 

Kelly still uses Medical Weight Loss Clinic products herself and she can attest that “they do help keep you on track and they do taste great.

“I believe in this company and wouldn’t have left a job after 27 years if I didn’t.”

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
