About Patients Medical

Patients Medical takes a holistic approach to weight management, combining conventional medicine with integrative wellness practices. Our Manhattan clinic has been helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss through personalized medical programs that address the underlying causes of weight gain, not just the symptoms.

What distinguishes our practice is our comprehensive diagnostic approach. We don't just look at calories in versus calories out, we examine hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, and metabolic dysfunction. This thorough evaluation allows us to create treatment plans that work with your body's natural processes rather than against them, leading to more sustainable and healthy weight loss results.

Services Offered

Our weight management program begins with extensive laboratory testing to identify underlying health issues that may be contributing to weight gain. We test for thyroid function, insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and food sensitivities. Based on these results, we create individualized treatment protocols that may include bioidentical hormone replacement, nutritional supplementation, and dietary modifications. We offer both traditional weight loss medications and innovative treatments like peptide therapy for patients who qualify. Our nutritional counseling goes beyond basic calorie counting to address meal timing, food combining, and eating patterns that support optimal metabolism. We also provide stress management techniques and lifestyle coaching, recognizing that emotional and psychological factors play a significant role in weight management. Regular monitoring ensures your program evolves with your changing needs and helps maintain long-term success.

What to Expect

Your weight loss journey starts with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation where we review your medical history, current symptoms, and previous weight loss attempts. We'll order extensive laboratory work to identify any underlying health issues affecting your metabolism. Once we receive your results, we schedule a follow-up appointment to review findings and create your personalized treatment plan.

Your plan may include dietary recommendations, supplement protocols, hormone optimization, and lifestyle modifications. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust treatments as needed, and provide ongoing support. Most patients see us monthly initially, then quarterly once their program is well-established and they're seeing consistent results.

Why Choose Patients Medical

Our integrative approach goes far beyond what you'll find at typical weight loss clinics. While others focus primarily on calorie restriction and exercise, we address the root causes of weight gain through comprehensive testing and personalized treatment. Our combination of conventional medicine with holistic wellness practices provides a more complete solution.

Patients appreciate our thorough diagnostic process and individualized treatment plans. We don't use cookie-cutter approaches, every protocol is designed specifically for your unique biochemistry and health needs. Our practitioners take time to understand your complete health picture and work collaboratively with you to achieve lasting results. Many of our patients have successfully lost weight and kept it off after years of struggling with other programs.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept several insurance plans for initial consultations and covered medical services. However, many of our specialized tests and integrative treatments are not covered by insurance. We provide detailed cost estimates upfront and offer payment plans to make our services more accessible.

Initial consultations range from $400-600, including basic laboratory work. Comprehensive testing panels typically cost $300-800 additional, depending on the tests recommended. Monthly follow-up visits range from $200-300. Supplements and medications are priced separately based on your individual protocol.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with our program requires commitment to following your personalized protocol and attending regular follow-up appointments. We recommend keeping detailed logs of your symptoms, energy levels, and progress to help us fine-tune your treatment. Most patients begin seeing improvements in energy and well-being within the first month, with weight loss typically becoming noticeable in the second month.

It's important to understand that our approach focuses on healing your metabolism first, which means initial weight loss might be slower than with extreme dieting approaches. However, this foundation creates lasting changes that prevent weight regain. We encourage patience and consistency, as sustainable weight loss and improved health take time to achieve. Our team provides ongoing support and education to help you understand and maintain your progress.

Do you prescribe weight loss medications?

Yes, we prescribe both traditional weight loss medications and innovative treatments like peptide therapy when appropriate. However, we typically use these as part of a comprehensive plan rather than as standalone solutions.

Most patients notice improved energy and well-being within the first month, with weight loss typically becoming apparent in the second month. Our approach prioritizes sustainable, lasting results over rapid initial weight loss.
