Dr. Jeremy McConnell, Physician Partner

Dr. Jeremy McConnell has a photo of himself at his desk for all his patients to see. In the picture, a smiling Dr. McConnell weighs 330 lbs, but the man who sits across from them now is a slim 180 lbs - thanks to his success on Dr. Bernstein’s program. Dr. McConnell is someone who has first-hand experience with the actualities of dealing with weight challenges.

As a medical professional that is devoted to helping others, he sees how The Dr. Bernstein Diet has such a great effect on the daily health of his patients.

"The changes that come with attaining one’s goal weight are far reaching. Our patients become more confident, their career opportunities improve, as does their overall quality and longevity of life."

As a talented, young, hard-working physician, and one who is passionately involved in family life, Dr. McConnell certainly understands the need for enhanced energy and stamina.

Dr. McConnell is one of the organization’s ‘pioneers’ in bringing The Dr. Bernstein Diet to the United States.

"I haven’t seen an available program in the U.S. that’s so comprehensive, organized, and effective - until now. It is certainly resetting the bar in the bariatrics category."

Dr. John M. Dawson, Physician Associate

On their very first meeting, Dr. John Dawson recognized that a working relationship with Dr. Bernstein was an opportunity to have his cake and eat it too. But that certainly isn't how he'd word it today!

"I was more than twenty pounds overweight," he recalls, "and figured the best way to test the diet was to experience it myself." In a matter of weeks (without cake), he was down to his goal weight and on his way to an association that has had great significance on his 30-year career as an eminent GP. For Dr. Dawson, an important fundamental requirement has been his ability to maintain his work at his long-standing family practice.

"I've always been more interested in treating people than diseases," he states, his sense of compassion for his fellow humans very evident. "The personal satisfaction I get from treating obesity is tremendous. Think about it. Day to day, I know I'm making a critical improvement in the lives of all my Bernstein Clinic patients. And day to day I experience the real joy of practicing state-of-the-art preventative medicine."
