First I want to thank you for taking the time to learn about our services. My name is Dr Henry Luu. I started my career in medicine as a pharmacist and after several years, realized that I wanted a greater role in the lives of patients. That is when I decided to attend medical school. Upon graduation, I continued my training while serving in the US Navy. I was stationed at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 3 years during my family medicine residency. Learning medicine and caring for service members during the height of the second Gulf War, gave me an appreciation for all service members, especially the marines that I continue to honor to this day. After my 3 year tour was up, I moved on to Norfolk, VA to join the "blue" side of the Navy. After 2 sea deployments, I had a real appreciation for what rural physicians must go through when there is no hospital to just send patients. It was also this time that the Navy wanted to start a medical acupuncture program, and asked for volunteers. I accepted and completed the program and have included medical acupuncture in my practice since.

After finishing my time on active duty, I decided to come home to the suburbs of Philadelphia, while continuing to serve as a Navy reservist. While in practice, I began to see that for most of our patients who were diabetic and on multiple medications, they continued to deteriorate with progressive medical therapy. Almost all patients required increased dosages and or medications to maintain their current health. What we failed to tell patients was that the medications plus the lack of nutrition education led to increased weight which led to more medications. That is when I decided to truly look into ways of reversing this process. Most patients as well as physicians believe that the only way to reverse this trend is with bariatric surgery. This is not true and most if not all beneficial effects of bariatric surgery can be accomplished with rigorous medical management.

With this in mind, my goal is to continue to treat patients and not the number on lab slip.
