Welcome to the physician's office of Dr. Chris Oh.

Dr. Chris Oh's office is located in Niles, Illinois. He is dedicated to helping people lose weight and to overcome common medical condition such as high blood pressure, low back pain, arthritis, diabetes, and high cholesterol. This is accomplished by using medicines, diet educating and exercise programs. Dr. Chris Oh is board certified in internal medicine.

As a primary care physician, I have referred patients to weight loss programs but have not seen significant results. I soon realized that in order to help my patients lose weight, I must educate them so that they truly understand how their body functions, and knows what happens to the body during the course of the day as they make seemingly simple food choices.

My diet program combines healthy eating habits that you will truly enjoy coupled with a graduated exercise program that anyone can participate in without signing up at a health club or buying a treadmill. I believe that if we truly understand our bodies, we would not be making the choices that has caused our generation to be the most overweight in history. With the program you will not go hungry, have more energy during the day, and feel happier overall. In addition, you will notice significant improvement in blood pressure, diabetes control, arthritis among other conditions. You may be able to cut down significantly on number of drugs that you take saving you quite a lot of money.

During the initial consultation vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate are taken as well as comprehensive blood test to check for high cholesterol, rule out endocrine disorders such as diabetes and hyper- or hypothyroidism, assess for anemia and other tests that may be relevant to your medical condition. Then a target weight is determined based on the specifics of your physique. This is followed by a monthly visit during which vital signs are taken and a new topic related to your body is discussed. At the end of each visit, you will receive a new set of instructions on diet and exercise. With each visit, you will also go home with a better understanding of your body. Blood tests are done every three months. Monthly visits are done until goal body weight is reached.
