ABOUT Toledo Blade Weight Loss

Dr. Annette Neumann moved to Port Charlotte & North Port area with her husband from her native state of Michigan. She has been in the healthcare field in various capacities since 1979. Originally, Dr. Neumann began her health related career in nursing then moved on a few years later to become a chiropractor. As her children grew up and left home, Dr. Neumann once again made a career shift to become an osteopathic physician. After residency, she became board certified in family medicine and opened her own office. In the fall of 2013, Dr. Neumann required a total hip replacement which started her thinking of a new path she might take in medicine. This, along with the fact that many of her patients struggled with being overweight, was the impetus for her interest in medical weight loss management. Dr. Neumann’s goal is to help people lose weight and maintain the weight loss for the rest of their lives. Her plan is to do this with lifestyle change, counseling, exercise, appetite suppressants, lipotropic injections and/or HCG injections.
