North Raleigh Chamber of Commerce to join nation's premier medical weight loss clinic for grand opening celebration, July 11

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Options Medical Weight Loss, a Thurston Group company and the nation's premier medical weight loss clinic, today announced the opening of its newest clinic in North Raleigh, N.C. Located in Brennan Station at 8111 Creedmoor Rd., the new, state-of-the-art clinic will offer customized, medical weight loss solutions that are safe, effective, affordable and designed by board-certified, obesity medicine specialists. Serving patients throughout North Raleigh including Brennan Station and nearby Stonehenge, the new clinic marks the company's first location in North Carolina and 25th full-service clinic nationwide. A grand opening celebration with the North Raleigh Chamber of Commerce will be held Thursday evening, July 11, from 5-7 p.m., to commemorate the milestone and provide residents a first look into the facility and a chance to meet the Options Medical Weight Loss team.

"Our Raleigh care team is honored and excited to serve the community by bringing proven weight loss solutions to those looking to lose weight and improve their overall health," comments Matt Rullo, overseeing regional director, who joined the company in 2021.

Unlike traditional weight loss programs, Options Medical Weight Loss programs are developed uniquely for every patient and customized according to an individual's biomarkers (body composition), health history and personal weight loss goals. Its doctors employ a full suite of medical tools, including weight loss and weight management medications, such as appetite suppressants and the latest GLP-1 drugs; a complementary "Options Diet System" featuring ready-to-eat meals and snacks rooted in the principles of healthy eating; and lifestyle/movement recommendations to aid in the process.

With approximately 73 percent of U.S. adults overweight or obese and wanting to live longer, healthier lives, Dr. Katrina Mattingly, the company's chief medical officer, explains Options is on a mission to reduce the national, year-over-year obesity rate through positive, life-changing medical weight loss experiences.

"There is no quick fix for achieving long-term success. We focus on care for the WHOLE patient, addressing the physical, emotional and mental challenges that make each person's weight loss journey unique," adds Dr. Mattingly. "We pride ourselves on looking beyond the number on the scale and encourage our patients to a deeper level of health. In six months, our average patient loses 30lbs of fat, including 21 percent of their dangerous visceral fat and 17 percent of their total body weight."

The grand opening event on July 11 will feature light refreshments and giveaways including free gifts for the first 25 attendees with a grand prize raffle inclusive of a 2-week supply of Options Nutrition products and 3-month supply of supplements. The grand opening will be held at the 1550-square-foot clinic. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; phone (919) 578-1036.
