Julia and I will be hosting three events this month to introduce people to our weight loss program. We’re hosting events at our Ballston Spa office on Thursday, June 11th and Thursday, June 25th from 7:00PM until 8:00 PM. Our third Open House will be at our new location at Adirondack Aesthetic Arts Spa in Glens Falls on June 18th, at 6:00 PM. Come and meet us and find out why we’re different!

We’ll have samples of the weight loss products we use from Bariatrix Nutrition available to taste, too.

Starting in June, we will be offering the IMPLANON^® contraceptive implant.  IMPLANON^® is a small, thin, implantable hormonal contraceptive inserted under the skin on the underside of the upper arm that is effective for up to three years. It was approved in July, 2006 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Some of the advantages of Implanon are:

• Effective – IMPLANON^® is more than 99% effective: the chance of getting pregnant is less than 1 pregnancy per 100 women who use IMPLANON^® for 1 year when IMPLANON^® is inserted correctly.

• Discreet - Most women can’t see IMPLANON^® after insertion.

• Long-acting – One IMPLANON^® provides up to 3 full years of contraceptive protection.

To find out more about Implanon, visit their website at http://www.implanon-usa.com, or schedule an appointment with one of our doctors.

It looks like spring is FINALLY here, and with it the start of the spring and summer flying season.  To celebrate, we’re offering FAA Second and Third Class medical exams for $75 for the entire month of May!  Don’t let an expired medical certificate keep you on the ground, wishing you were flying.  Call Kristy or Michelle for details, and to schedule an appointment.

There has been a lot in the news the last few days about a potential pandemic of Influenza A type H1N1 – otherwise known as “Swine Flu”.   As of 11:00 AM today, the CDC reported a total of 161 cases of Swine Flu in the United States, with 50 of those cases in New York.

We’ve had a number of patients call us, afraid that they might have contracted Influenza A.  The hospital Emergency Department, as well as local Urgent Care Centers have been overwhelmed with people requesting tests for Influenza, so starting Monday, May 4th, we will be testing for Influenza in our in-house lab.

In January we started adding new laboratory services, so that we can better serve our patients.

For most routine labwork, you can now have your blood drawn and review the results with the doctor the same day! Routine visits for adjustment of your cholesterol medications or Coumadin will now be much easier, eliminating extra stops at the lab  or trips to the “Lipid Clinic” or “Coumadin Clinic”.
