The physician

George W. Carroll, MD

He has practiced medicine since 1975, and weight management has been the center of his working life for most of it. At BeSlimMD he sees every patient himself.

A small practice, on purpose.

When you call, you reach an office where someone knows who you are, and the doctor who reviews your history is the one who sets your dose.

Before this practice, Dr. Carroll was National Medical Director of Physicians Weight Loss Centers. He wrote the company's medical training manuals and led the education of its physicians, which meant years of teaching other doctors how to make sound decisions in weight management.

That's also, more or less, how he practices now. He starts low and moves carefully:

“If I'm going to make a mistake, I always make the mistake of not giving the patient enough rather than too much.”

Questions about the physician

Will I actually see Dr. Carroll, or a nurse practitioner?

Him. He does the visits, sets the doses and handles the adjustments. The practice is small on purpose: it's him and a front desk.

How long has Dr. Carroll been practicing medicine?

He has practiced medicine since 1975, and weight-loss medicine since 1980. Medical school at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, a Fifth Pathway clinical year at the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1975, then internship and residency in internal medicine at Akron City Hospital through 1978.

What was Dr. Carroll's role at Physicians Weight Loss Centers?

He was its National Medical Director. He wrote the company's medical training manuals and led the education of its physicians.

Is Dr. Carroll a licensed physician in Florida?

Yes. He holds Florida medical license ME48111, and his National Provider Identifier (NPI) is 1073644985.

Is Dr. Carroll accepting new patients?

Yes, and your first visit with him is free.

How does Dr. Carroll decide on a dose?

Conservatively, in his own words: he would rather err by giving someone too little than too much. Practically that means starting low, moving in small steps, and treating the label's escalation schedule as a minimum interval, not a deadline.

If he's the kind of doctor you're looking for, the next thing worth reading is how care works here — or what's prescribed, on the medications page.
