History
Dr. Knopke established his weight loss clinic over 8 years ago to address the chronic health problems he was seeing in his patients. Upon seeing how well effective weight loss techniques worked to alleviate chronic health conditions, he expanded his education and became board certified in Obesity Medicine. Today he plays an active role with the Obesity Medicine Association and has served as a member of the board of trustees. At Inland Empire Weight Loss, Dr. Knopke has worked diligently to create an integrated clinic with the resources to effectively treat obesity. The clinic offers meal replacement products, lipotropic injections, weight related specialty laboratory testing, and behavioral therapy techniques to help in the weight loss process. We currently offer three different providers to help in flexible scheduling. In addition, to Dr. Carl Knopke, MD, we also have Lesley Laird, PA-C and Madeline Gould, PA-C to help you achieve success in your weight loss efforts.
