Welcome to Saha Weight Wellness Clinic!

We are a weight management clinic that is guided by science and grounded in empathy. At Saha, we are health focused not ‘pounds lost’ focused.

“Saha” means ‘Health’ and The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

Saha in Sanskrit means “enduring” or ‘together”. Lasting wellness in community summarizes the mission of this clinic.

I heard the toast ‘Saha’ many times during my travels in Levant and Maghreb as exotic platters of Zarb and Tagines were placed on communal dinner tables. ‘Does Saha mean Bon Appetite ?’ I asked my host (he was fluent in French, Arabic, English). ‘Saha means ‘enjoy in good health or blessings to you’. Food is a source of nutrition, wellness and healing well beyond the joy of one time, good meal’, he cheerfully explained.

As a Cardiothoracic Surgeon I had the privilege to take care of patients with lung, gut cancers and heart disease. Healthful diet, physical activity, smoking cessation and weight management are integral part of promoting healing after a heart bypass and cancer operation so I was tuned in to holistic healing my whole career. However I felt that my impact as a doctor came too late in the course of my patient’s disease and was limited to individual patients.

Saha Weight Wellness clinic is my passion project to intervene early in the course of metabolic disease with a focus on weight management and holistic health . I went through additional training to ensure this clinic provides highest quality , science based , empathetic care. Join me in my mission to beat obesity epidemic.

Saha! Be well
