What to Expect

Your weight loss journey starts with a comprehensive medical evaluation that includes reviewing your complete health history, current medications, and any underlying conditions that might affect weight loss. We perform necessary lab work and health screenings to establish baselines.

Based on this assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan that considers your health conditions, lifestyle, and personal goals. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress, adjust medications, and address any concerns. Since we're your primary care provider, we can coordinate weight loss efforts with your overall healthcare needs, ensuring everything works together harmoniously.

Why Choose HealthBridge

Our advantage lies in being able to provide weight loss support within the context of comprehensive primary care. Unlike standalone weight loss clinics, we can address the full spectrum of health issues that often contribute to weight problems, from thyroid disorders to depression.

Our long-standing presence in the Great Neck community means we've built trust with patients and understand local lifestyle factors. We offer the personal attention of a smaller practice while maintaining the medical expertise needed for complex weight management cases. Our integrated approach means fewer appointments at different offices and better coordination of your overall health care.

Insurance & Pricing

As a family practice, we accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. Many insurance plans cover medically supervised weight loss when there are underlying health conditions, and we'll help you navigate coverage options.

Self-pay rates for weight management consultations start at $150, with ongoing monthly programs ranging from $200-500 depending on services included. Since we provide comprehensive primary care, many patients find our approach more cost-effective than using separate providers for different health needs. We offer payment plans for patients requiring longer-term support.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather your complete medical records, current medication list, and recent lab results from any other providers. Keep a food diary for at least one week to help us understand your current eating patterns and identify potential areas for improvement.

Be prepared to discuss your weight history, previous diet attempts, and current health challenges openly. Since we may become your primary care provider, we need a complete picture of your health. Don't hesitate to bring up concerns about medications, other health conditions, or lifestyle factors that might affect your weight loss efforts.
