About Us

Ascent Medical is an MSP-based specialist clinic dedicated to the management of adult metabolic health, obesity, and related conditions.

Dr. Jacek Cieslak is a certified specialist in Adult Internal Medicine and Nephrology, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. He provides evidence-based care for patients referred by their family physicians, specialists or NP’s in accordance with standard MSP referral guidelines.

Our office is in New Westminster, just a 5-minute walk from Sapperton SkyTrain station, with full capability for virtual care (Telehealth) across B.C. For added convenience, we also provide occasional in-person consultations at Sky Medical Clinic in downtown Vancouver.

Ascent Medical is Dr. Cieslak’s private practice. If you are seeking a multidisciplinary team-based approach to weight management, please visit the Obesity Medicine and Diabetes Institute in Coquitlam (www.medweight.ca).
