I been talking to many Drs about me getting a prescription for [RX] weight loss pills and they told me I don't have to be a diabetic in order to get a prescription. I can get it for being pre diabetic which I am. And because I'm obese and have heart issues I can get it for that. The weight lost shot is for me to prevent me from getting obesity related diseases . I bought in my medical records the first time I visited. I always bring my medical records for each Dr I see so they can take copies and put it in my file so they can know of my medical issues so in the future I would not have any issues about being confirmed with certain disease.

Dr. Arla is a caring and compassionate physician I've experienced since I moved to the Midwest. She listen to you without interruption. I became her patient when she was practicing at Duly. When I found out she was no longer practicing their, I decided to try another physician but I wasn't pleased. I didn't think she had my best interest in mind. So I went looking for Dr. Arla and I found her and it didn't matter how far I had to travel I was going to see her. She is the best!

Disclosures

Latha P. Arla, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
