About ICHN
Dr. Rashid A. Khairi
Our program is a physician monitored weight loss program. Dr. Rashid A. Khairi, our medical director, specializes in endocrinology and internal medicine. Dr. Khairi has been utilizing the Optifast© program since 1980.
The OPTIFAST program is a comprehensive approach to treating obesity. Utilizing professionals with decades of experience, the goals of the program are to quickly and safely achieve weight loss while striving to provide patients with the skills to live a better, healthier life.
To determine if you’re a candidate for our programs, check out our Body-Mass Index calculator, the benchmark we use to determine where you stand in terms of weight loss.
It’s important to note that before a prospective patient starts any aspect of the program, we run a complete battery of tests, including a complete physical. Included in the physical are: a CBC, a basic metabolic panel, an EKG, and a body composition evaluation.

If you’re like most of our patients, you’ll be taking part in the Full Fast option we offer. Click here to see what to expect or here to see all the programs we offer.
Since 1974, the OPTIFAST program has been used in the treatment of more than 1 million patients. Over 80 clinical studies have been published describing research focused on the program.
According to those studies, patients have seen:
52 lb. weight loss
12% average decrease in blood sugar
12% average decrease in total cholesterol
10% average decrease in blood pressure
Studies also show that at two and five years after completing the OPTIFAST program, patients have still maintained enough weight loss to improve their overall health.
