Immediate personal attention comes from doctors on demand

Sitting at his desk all day at work, Peter E. Recklet of Hudson packed on a few extra pounds, though he was by no means considered fat.

Two years ago, his doctor determined that he was heading toward becoming diabetic unless some life style changes were made. Mr. Recklet dropped 20 pounds, increased his exercise with his personal trainer and now the 70-year-old is in better health than some people 20 years younger. He recently went on a group “field trip” with his doctor to a local grocery store to learn how to eat healthfully and to keep the weight off.
