Weight Loss

Weight Loss

At JustWell Health Group, we strive to help patients accomplish their weight loss goals. We are the home of the Kitsune Medical Weight Loss program; a safe, effective, and healthy program to aid patients in losing weight. Kitsune Medical Weight therapy is an extraordinary program offered by our specialists. We will formulate a unique plan to assist you in losing weight in a healthy way according to your health condition and future weight goals. Our method utilizes the HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone to reduce weight loss. HCG is a natural hormone that the body produces. An HCG injection or oral drops are administered and paired with a medical program catered to your individual biology.

PROFESSIONAL WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

Our program requires patients to stop by weekly for a progress check-up. During this visit, you will have your weight, body fat, and blood pressure measured. This helps us track your progress and maintain an adaptable plan to best aid your optimal level of weight loss. With our help, we can successfully achieve your goals. The Kitsune program accelerates weight therapy and the reshaping of the body. Many participants report better, deeper sleep, as well as lower cholesterol and blood pressure while on Kitsune–even continuing after they have finished with the program. Additional benefits of the program include:
  • Higher energy levels without a nervous feeling
  • Overall wellness improvement
  • Less insulin and/or medication intake
Here at JustWell Health Group, we want to provide you with a successful way to lose weight. This is accomplished not only through the Kitsune program, but we also like to make sure that our patients are educated on maintaining a healthy weight once their weight-loss goals have been accomplished. For many of our patients, losing weight has been a struggle after using diet and exercise alone, and they are in need of some additional help from our doctors and certified nutrition team.

Gerardo C. Perez, D.O​

Doctor

Born in Cuba, Dr. Perez immigrated to the United States as a young boy, settling in New Jersey with his family. He attended Long Island University and earned a Bachelor of Science, while majoring in both Biology and Chemistry. In 1984, Dr. Perez graduated from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He completed his family practice residency at Southeastern Medical Center in Miami and received his board certification in Family Medicine. Shortly after starting his private practice in 1987, Dr. Perez qualified and passed his Geriatric Board exam, an area of medicine that had always interested him and one that he felt was under-represented in the community. His interest in treating the older patient population stems from the extensive size of his family and the many experiences he had as a young man with his older relatives. 

For the past 30 years, Dr. Perez has proudly served the Hialeah-Miami Lakes community with the best quality and personal care available. His approach remains the same, “Keep it simple, and don’t over medicate.” He is a strong believer in preventative care and feels that nutrition and exercise are the best forms of medication. He tries to set an example for his patients in the way he cares for his own health.

Dr. Perez has been married to his wife Madeline for 27 years and has three sons, whom he credits for keeping him young and on his toes. Dr. Perez has coached travel baseball for many years, loves to landscape and is a culinarian. His latest interest, and one that he says stimulates him both physically and mentally, is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Administrator

Mayra has spent the last 12 years working alongside Dr. Perez and his team. As the office Administrator she oversees all day-to-day operations of the practice. From handling the coding and even being able to draw blood, Mayra ensures that proper patient care is met daily by all her staff.
