DALEWOOD
HEALTH & WELLNESS

Although we receive referrals from physicians and other health professionals, you do not need a referral to become a Dalewood client.

We have locations all over Canada. The first step is to see if there is a clinic close to where you reside. If there is, simply call or email the Clinic Director in that location and request an appointment.

If you do not reside near any of our clinic locations, you can still take part in our program. Simply request assistance using the form at the bottom of this page and we will be in touch with you shortly to answer questions regarding program details and cost.

No, there is no need for a physician's referral.

We start off by letting you know that we don't use a one-size fits all diet.

Every client's diet will be individualized based on their lifestyles, resting metabolic rates, activity levels, co-existing medical conditions and their dietary likes and dislikes.

With rare exceptions we do not provide low-calorie diets unless there is a pressing medical need for rapid weight loss.

Every patient is different. At Dalewood, we strive for weight-losses of up to 2 pounds per week and our first goal with our patients is to have them lose 10% of their body weight.

A 10% weight-loss has been shown to have significant health benefits. Once the first 10% is lost, we reset that goal and continue until you reach a weight that you are happy with.

No. We realize that if you're hungry, there is no way that you will be able to maintain your weight once you have completed our program. If you are hungry while on our program, our dietitian will make adjustments to your diet to ensure that you avoid being hungry.

For many people the answer is yes.

You will need to check with your insurance company to determine whether or not you are covered for dietitian visits and/or personal trainers. If so we will certainly be able to provide you with an invoice for those parts of our program covered under your plan.

Typically patients with coverage for dietitians will be able to claim back $500 of the program's cost from their insurers.

Dalewood can support candidates that do not live within geographical proximity of a clinic location because our Health Care Professionals are available using telephone, Skype and the communication tools in the Health Resource Center.

​

Treatment is utilized in conjunction with local physicians for scheduled weight-ins, and UPS or Canada Post will pick up and deliver your Program Materials directly to your home, or a designated Postal Station where applicable.
