Medical Weight Loss Clinic

Paving the way for better health.

Located at Canton Corners Shopping Center at 42503 Ford Road, Medical Weight Loss Clinic of Canton is a trusted clinic with over 40 years of experience in helping people lose weight and learn how to keep it off.

Administered by board-certified physicians who are dedicated to helping clients achieve their weight loss goals and maintain a healthy weight, Medical Weight Loss Clinic provides comprehensive customized, non-surgical weight loss programs.

Since 1986, the Michigan-based company has helped tens of thousands of people gain control of their weight, and ultimately their lives.

What sets Medical Weight Loss apart from other weight loss programs and plans is its individualized approach. Because every client faces their own unique challenges with weight loss, there are no group meetings or sessions at the clinic.

Every client receives a personal meeting where they will get tailored guidance and support to help them reach their goals.

The Medical Weight Loss program starts with a free, one-on-one consultation with a clinician who conducts health assessments like blood pressure and weight. Based on the test results and the client’s personal goals, a customized plan is developed. Programs are tailored to individual needs and may include meal plans, nutritional supplements and physician-supervised options that use FDA-approved prescription medication for those who medically qualify.

For clients who prefer a program without a prescription, Medical Weight Loss Clinic has developed several exclusive products to enhance weight loss, from fat burners to natural appetite suppressants designed to increase results and improve overall health and wellness.

Unlike many commercial weight loss programs, Medical Weight Loss doesn’t rely on pre-packaged meals or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, clients are encouraged to grocery shop for whole foods, learning how to prepare balanced meals that complement their new lifestyle changes.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic sees numerous client success stories each year. One individual lost over 100 pounds, allowing them to eliminate the need for cholesterol and blood pressure medications, while another lost 71 pounds, causing them to see a drastic increase in energy and confidence.

These transformations speak to Medical Weight Loss Clinic’s commitment not only helping clients lose weight, but giving them a new outlook on life and helping them feel comfortable in their own skin.

The Canton location is open six days a week with flexible hours to accommodate clients’ busy schedules.

La Gelati

La Gelati

Unique offering, wide variety for all tastes.

La Gelati first opened its doors in Canton in March of 2021, quickly becoming an area favorite for frozen treats and sweets. The family owned and operated business was established in 2014 when owner Zee Cherkaoui transformed her computer store in East Dearborn into an ice cream shop. Since then, La Gelati has expanded, and the family business has spread to multiple locations in Michigan and one in Wisconsin.

The Canton location was strategically chosen to introduce a one-of-a-kind dessert experience to the area, especially since it was getting rarer to find frozen yogurt as other shops closed down.

“Everyone started liking it and La Gelati was a common place to be, so I decided to open it in other places too,” Cherkaoui said.

What sets La Gelati apart from other ice cream shops is their unique offerings and wide variety of treats for every taste.

One of their specialties is handmade ashta, an old ice cream tradition that originated in what is now Syria. Cherkaoui explained that ashta is smoother and closer to gelato than traditional American ice cream.

In addition to their famous ashta, La Gelati offers traditional ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, sundaes, smoothies, shakes, crepes, waffles, mini pancakes and so much more.

The impressively diverse menu gives every guest a chance to satisfy their sweet tooth whether they’re in the mood for a chocolate brownie or a fresh fruit smoothie.

“Any time a customer walks in and wants to make their own sundae or add anything special we can do that too,” said Cherkaoui, explaining that all treats offered are customizable.

La Gelati has gained recognition for its original creations, such as Red Bull boba, which has since become a hit that other stores have caught on to, as well as trending treats like Dubai chocolate desserts and crepes made to look like sushi or fettucine.

Dubbed the “Factory of Happiness,” La Gelati is designed to be a welcoming space for everyone with a bright and colorful ambiance.

Whether guests are looking for a classic scoop of gelato, an ashta fruit bowl or a custom waffle stick, La Gelati draws customers of all ages and from all backgrounds.

Beyond being Canton’s one-stop shop for desserts, La Gelati is committed to giving back to the community they serve with both reasonable prices and a generous spirit.

“We sponsor a lot of schools, the police and fire departments and help with a lot of fundraisers any way we can,” Cherkaoui said.

With warmer weather on the horizon, La Gelati, located at 42545 Ford Road, is the perfect place to cool down with a frozen treat.

French Toast Bistro

French Toast; A French-Inspired Cajun Bistro

French-inspired Cajun cuisine with a Michigan Twist.

When Mario Maniac and Vesna Cadikovska-Maniac visited New Orleans a decade ago, they fell in love with Cajun-style cuisine. With Maniac’s 15 years of experience as an executive chef in Plymouth, the pair decided to open a restaurant that embodied the bold flavors and southern comfort foods they came to love.

In March 2016, they opened their first French Toast Bistro in Plymouth. Five years later, the Canton location opened on October 4, 2021, bringing the charm of its original location to the heart of Canton.

Unlike other brunch spots in the Metro Detroit area, French Toast Bistro offers flavors you’d be more likely to find in Louisiana, like Cajun shrimp and grits and lobster omelettes. Guests can immerse themselves in tastes of the south—like shrimp, chicken and sausage gumbo soup—without leaving Canton.

The French-inspired Cajun eatery boasts a full scratch kitchen with all their dishes made fresh in house and prepared primarily from locally sourced ingredients.

Whether guests are stopping in for brunch, lunch or a midday entrée, they’ll be met with vibrant flavors and comforting dishes, from French toast and chicken and waffles to Caribbean jerk chicken wings and Cajun hash.

While they offer rotating chef-made cheesecakes and cobblers for dessert, French Toast Bistro is known for their famous beignets. The light and fluffy, golden brown French pastry is dusted with powdered sugar and is the perfect after-dinner treat. General manager Yaya Conner said that the restaurant offers complimentary beignets for birthdays and anniversaries. The Canton location features a full-service bar with handcrafted cocktails, including the elderflower mimosa and the French 77, a variety of wines and draft and bottled beer.

Non-alcoholic fresh bar smoothies are also available to order.

French Toast Bistro’s open-air patio is perfect to take advantage of Michigan’s spring and summer weather while enjoying a meal outdoors, and unique New Orleans-inspired wall art adds flair and personality to each guest’s dining experience. More than just a restaurant, French Toast Bistro is an active member of Canton’s community. They regularly support local initiatives by sponsoring gift cards for events and fundraising raffles.

Additionally, the restaurant can accommodate larger groups of 25–75 guests inside the restaurant for events like private parties, meetings, showers, baptisms and more by reservation.

Customized catering is also available for any occasion and guests can choose from any of the bistro’s signature dishes, or staff can help create a unique menu for specific tastes.

French Toast Bistro is a true local business with a simple mission to exceed expectations with their signature selections, culinary excellence and exceptional service.

French Toast Bistro Canton is located at 43225 Ford Road.
