Watson Clinic Highlands board-certified Family Medicine specialist Rony J. Alvarado, MD is pleased to offer the seca^® Body Composition Analyzer to his patients. This revolutionary medical scale effortlessly measures a series of important health metrics, including height, weight, BMI, fat mass, muscle mass, and water retention.

“You stand on this scale just like you would any other,” explains Dr. Alvarado. “But as opposed to a routine scale, this one can assess the composition of fat and muscle mass in your body and indicate how they’re distributed throughout the body.”

These in-depth body composition measurements can empower more precise and targeted approaches to combatting obesity and the conditions it can cause, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As preventive measures are taken through diet, medication or exercise, the scale can track a patient’s progress, including whether they’re gaining muscle and losing excess fat and water weight in specific areas of concern.

The non-invasive, user-friendly scale boasts an exceptional rate of 97% accuracy rate when compared to more time-consuming full body MRI procedures.

“This is a wonderful tool that will help us provide an even higher level of personalized care,” Dr. Alvarado enthuses.

Dr. Alvarado and his care team – including registered nurse practitioners Brooke Pate, APRN, Lauren Patterson, APRN and Lindsey Simmons, APRN – offer open appointment availability from Watson Clinic Highlands at 2300 E. County Road 540A in south Lakeland. Call 863-680-7190 for more information and to schedule an appointment.
