Dr. Charles Goldsmith and Patty Goldsmith of No. 10, Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness.
DAVIE, Fla. (July 6, 2012)? Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness, an individualized physician-supervised medical weight loss program, announced today that it has ranked 10th on the South Florida Business Journal?s (SFBJ) list of the region?s 50 fastestgrowing companies.
Each year the SFBJ ranks South Florida?s fastest-growing companies to determine the prestigious ?Fast 50.? Companies chosen are both private and public, range in industry, size and annual revenue. The companies are ranked by one-year percentage growth.
Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness had an impressive 114.9% growth between 2010 and 2011, and is projected to grow from 35 employees to 40 employees by year-end.
As a business centered on health, Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness is among the second fastest growing segment in franchising, right after restaurants, which account for one-third of all franchises in the country. In the U.S. alone, current estimates indicate that $100 billion is spent annually on weight loss products and services, including medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, with weight loss centers garnering between six and 12 percent of the total annual expenditure.
Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness launched franchising in 2010 and has since opened 16 clinics in South Florida and New Jersey, and three international clinics in Central America. With a total of 62 clinics open or under development in 12 countries, the company is continuing to expand rapidly throughout the country and around the globe.
Charlotte Russell, chief operations officer for Dr. G?s Franchising Companies, believes the company?s success reflects the growing national concern with obesity as a
chronic health problem, raising the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer.
?Today, more than 35% of American adults are obese, pointing to the increased need for effective programs like Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness clinics,? said Russell.
?The demand for reliable weight loss programs continues to rise and we expect a strong response as we continue to grow throughout Florida and beyond.?
Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness provides a sense of ease, freedom and instant gratification that dramatically changes patients? lives. The program offers safe and
sensible medically supervised weight loss programs, as well as nutritional products, that assist individuals to easily and rapidly achieve their healthy weight and improve their lifestyles. Founded by Dr. Charles Goldsmith in 1994, Dr. G?s Weight Loss & Wellness has 18 years of experience helping over 85,000 patients lose more than one million pounds.
Unlike most weight loss programs where one size fits all, the Dr. G?s program is an individualized physician-supervised medical weight loss plan that uses its proprietary software and a full medical evaluation including blood work, EKG, metabolic rate, body composition, and behavioral history to create customized plans for safe and effective weight loss. Plans may incorporate a combination of FDA-approved medication and herbal supplements to help clients reach their weight loss goals.
