No two patients have the same health history or goals. These are the areas our existing weight-management service describes, brought together in a more practical patient journey.

Discuss health history, concerns, and factors that may be relevant to your weight-related goals with a clinician.

Nutrition & habits

Explore practical food, activity, and daily-routine considerations that fit your circumstances.

Ongoing guidance

Discuss realistic next steps and follow-up support according to your clinical needs and appointment availability.

What to expect

Three straightforward steps.

Start with a conversation. We will help you understand which services and appointment options may fit your needs.

STEP 01

Request your visit

Book an available appointment online or call our Hamilton office for help selecting a suitable visit type.

STEP 02

I just recently had to find a new primary care physician. Did a search in my area and found Dr. Clara ( that's what I call her, lol ) she listens and if she can come up with other options than just taking another pill she does. That's what I like. She has a great staff that works with her and everyone in the office is friendly and listens to you. Would definitely recommend Dr. Clara

I choose for my mom to see Dr. Normanyo, and I was very impressed with the care she provided. Dr. Normanyo is one of the most caring, compassionate, and professional doctors I have ever met. She took the time to listen carefully to my mom’s concerns, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable and respected throughout the visit. Her kindness, patience, and genuine concern for her patients truly stand out. We are very grateful for the excellent care my mom received. I highly recommend Dr. Normanyo to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctor. Thank you, Dr. Normanyo, for your outstanding care and dedication.

I have been coming to Dr.Normanyo for years. She is a great doctor. Very kind, a good listener and knowledgeable in her work. She cares about her patients health and what’s best for them mentally and physically. I never feel rushed in my visits, she takes her time with her patients. She has great morning hours for appointments and is always on time. She has a great staff that are welcoming and kind. She has a new nice, clean office. I recommend her 100% for your health care needs.
I’ve been a patient here for a while, and I can honestly say the care has been consistently excellent. The doctor is kind, patient, and truly listens to any concerns I have. I never feel rushed, and I always leave feeling heard and cared for. The staff is also very welcoming and professional. I’m grateful to have found such a great provider.

Very pleasant staff and clean facility. I met Dr. Normanyo during Covid and since then I only see her as my physician. She is very professional and knowledgeable, and is a nice person.
