Dr. Newsome has spent the majority of his medical career practicing urgent care and emergency medicine. He also served as a medical director for US HealthWorks, the largest occupational medicine provider in the U.S. After years of treating acute illness, often related to the effects of obesity, he gained increasing interest in bariatric medicine. In particular he observed the struggle to lose weight experienced by friends and family. After undergoing further training in the management of obesity, he was successful in helping those around him to lose weight and decided to open his own weight loss clinic. Thus, Solutions Weight Loss was established in 2013.
