We offer a range of treatment options to support patients in all stages of their health journey. Treatment options include:
Lifestyle changes

Anti-obesity medications
Anti-obesity medications, also called weight-loss medications, work in different ways to promote weight loss. They can change how your body absorbs fat, promote feelings of fullness, and reduce your appetite. Our team can help you understand your medication treatment options.
Bariatric endoscopy program
Our program is the only one of its kind in Vermont and New Hampshire. We offer nonsurgical, minimally invasive obesity treatment options. These options provide new pathways to weight loss for people who do not qualify for or wish to have bariatric surgery. Learn more about the Bariatric Endoscopy Program at Dartmouth Health.
