About NY Medical

NY Medical provides comprehensive medical weight loss services in the heart of Manhattan, combining clinical expertise with personalized care. Our medical center approaches weight management through evidence-based treatments supervised by licensed physicians and healthcare professionals.

We understand that sustainable weight loss requires more than diet and exercise alone. Our integrated approach includes medical evaluation, metabolic testing, prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, and ongoing monitoring. We work with patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods or have underlying medical conditions that complicate their weight management journey.

Services Offered

Our medical weight loss program begins with comprehensive health screening including blood work, metabolic analysis, and body composition assessment. Board-certified physicians evaluate each patient's medical history, current medications, and underlying conditions that may affect weight loss. We offer prescription weight loss medications including GLP-1 agonists, appetite suppressants, and other FDA-approved options when medically appropriate. Nutritional counseling from registered dietitians helps develop sustainable eating plans tailored to individual needs and medical conditions. Regular monitoring includes monthly check-ins, lab work, and progress assessments to ensure safe and effective treatment. We also provide treatment for weight-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Our allergy services complement weight management for patients with food sensitivities. Telehealth consultations are available for follow-up appointments and ongoing support.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed health history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. Lab work typically includes thyroid function, diabetes markers, liver function, and lipid panels. Based on results, our physician will recommend a treatment plan that may include prescription medications, dietary modifications, and lifestyle counseling. Follow-up appointments are scheduled monthly initially, then adjusted based on progress and medication needs. We monitor for side effects and adjust treatments as necessary. Most patients see initial results within 4-6 weeks, with ongoing progress monitored over 3-6 month periods.

We offer prescription medications not available at non-medical weight loss centers. Our physicians understand the interplay between various medical conditions and weight management. The combination of medical weight loss with allergy treatment provides comprehensive care for patients with multiple health concerns. We accept most major insurance plans, making medical weight loss more accessible and affordable.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid for covered services. Initial consultations range from $250-350, with follow-up visits typically $150-200. Many weight loss medications are covered by insurance, though coverage varies by plan and medication. We provide prior authorization assistance for prescription medications.

First-Time Patient Tips

Bring a complete list of current medications, supplements, and medical history to your first appointment. Recent lab work (within 6 months) can be helpful but isn't required. Be prepared to discuss your weight history, previous diet attempts, and current eating patterns honestly. Follow pre-appointment instructions such as fasting for lab work if required. Wear comfortable clothing for physical examination and weight measurement. Bring insurance cards and a form of identification to your visit.
