Diabetes is not just an individual’s condition to manage; it has proven to be a disease of entire families. The philosophies of our programs can be utilized by individuals who don’t necessarily have the condition. Our clinic encourages everyone to be “metabolically fit”. Metabolic fitness means maintaining leveled blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar across the board for extended periods of time.

Dr. Wayne Woo and his wife, Pat Woo, help patients understand how healthy decisions go hand in hand with medical expertise when it comes to treating diseases.  The clinic’s unique approach to treatment encourages patients to make changes in their meal plans, their attitude, and their expectations. Combined with Dr. Woo’s solid medical expertise, people with diabetes in Mississippi are offered “hope, healing, and health.”
