Background and History

Since The Weigh Station opened its doors in 2007, it has helped more than 18,000 people find paths to a healthier, more energetic life. Throughout almost two decades, The Weigh Station has constantly developed its proprietary Classic Program, thus building up a well-earned reputation as a clinic for physician-controlled weight loss management in the Roanoke Valley. Currently, The Weigh Station is owned and operated by Dr. Justin Lindsey, D.O., who is an internal medicine specialist and whose commitment to obesity medicine arose after his own experience of losing weight successfully. Understanding what it means to overcome obesity both physically and emotionally, Dr. Lindsey founded the clinic relying on his empathy, education, and long-term cooperation with patients.

This approach sets the clinic apart from other weight loss centers. The care process starts with thorough medical testing, nutrition is very closely monitored by doctors, and advice goes well beyond just weight loss. Since many of the clinicians and administrators in the office have gone through weight loss themselves, the office is known for its highly supportive environment. In order to help people in the region maintain good health, Dr. Lindsey has his own Star City Medical practice in addition to this one.
