Readiness Questionnaire

Are you ready for the Physicians' Choice Program?

This questionnaire is designed to assess whether you are ready to embark upon a comprehensive weight loss program. Certain times in a person's life are overwhelming and to add another program or condition to it is often more than one can handle. Sometimes our frame of mind and our attitude is such that it would not be conducive to start a weight loss program. For each question, click the circle next to the answer that best describes your attitude to the questions below.
