About Soni Medical

Soni Medical takes a comprehensive, multi-specialty approach to weight loss that recognizes the complex interplay between metabolism, hormones, sleep, and overall health. Our team of specialists works together to identify and address all the factors that may be contributing to your weight challenges, providing more effective treatment than single-focus approaches. We understand that successful weight loss often requires addressing underlying medical conditions that are frequently overlooked.

Located in Brooklyn, we've built our practice on the principle that lasting weight loss requires treating the whole person, not just prescribing a diet plan. Our endocrinology expertise allows us to identify hormonal imbalances, our sleep medicine specialists can address sleep disorders that affect metabolism, and our weight loss specialists coordinate comprehensive treatment plans. This integrated approach has helped countless patients achieve success when other programs have failed.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss services integrate endocrinology, sleep medicine, and specialized weight management to address all aspects of metabolic health. We begin with thorough evaluations that may include hormone testing, sleep studies, and metabolic assessments to identify underlying conditions that could be hindering your weight loss efforts. Our endocrinologists can diagnose and treat diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and other hormonal conditions that significantly impact weight. Our sleep specialists evaluate and treat sleep disorders like sleep apnea, which affects metabolism and makes weight loss much more difficult. We provide comprehensive sleep studies and treatment options including CPAP therapy when indicated. Our integrated approach means that all specialists communicate with each other to ensure your treatment plan addresses every factor affecting your weight. We also offer nutritional counseling, exercise planning, and prescription medications when appropriate, all coordinated through your primary weight loss physician.

What to Expect

Your evaluation at Soni Medical begins with a comprehensive assessment by our weight loss specialist, who reviews your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and current symptoms. Based on this initial evaluation, you may be referred to our endocrinologist for hormone testing and evaluation of metabolic disorders, or to our sleep specialist if sleep issues are suspected.

We coordinate care between specialists to ensure all aspects of your health are optimized for weight loss success. This might involve treating sleep apnea with CPAP therapy while simultaneously managing diabetes and adjusting thyroid medication. Your personalized treatment plan addresses all identified issues, and we monitor your progress closely, adjusting treatments as needed to achieve optimal results.

Why Choose Soni Medical

Our multi-specialty approach sets us apart from traditional weight loss clinics that only address diet and exercise. By having endocrinologists and sleep specialists in the same practice, we can quickly identify and treat conditions that other providers might overlook or take months to diagnose through referrals. This comprehensive evaluation often explains why previous weight loss attempts have failed.

Our team's ability to coordinate care means you don't have to manage multiple appointments with different doctors who may not communicate with each other. We take responsibility for ensuring all aspects of your health are optimized for weight loss success, providing a level of comprehensive care that's rare in the field of weight management.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, and many of our services are covered by insurance, particularly consultations with our endocrinologist for diabetes or thyroid management, and sleep studies for suspected sleep disorders. Weight loss consultations may be covered when there are documented medical conditions related to obesity.

Pricing varies by service, with initial weight loss consultations ranging from $200-300, endocrinology evaluations from $250-350, and sleep consultations from $200-400. Sleep studies, when needed, are typically covered by insurance. We provide detailed estimates for any services not covered by your insurance and offer payment plans when appropriate.

First-Time Patient Tips

Prepare for your initial consultation by bringing a complete list of medications, any recent lab work, and documentation of previous weight loss attempts. If you have symptoms like excessive fatigue, snoring, or irregular periods, be sure to mention these as they may indicate underlying conditions affecting your weight.

Success in our program requires following through with recommended testing and specialist consultations, even if they seem unrelated to weight loss. Many patients are surprised to learn that treating their sleep apnea or adjusting their thyroid medication makes weight loss much easier. Be patient with the evaluation process - identifying and treating underlying conditions takes time but leads to much better long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to see multiple specialists for weight loss?

Many factors beyond diet and exercise affect weight, including hormones, sleep quality, and metabolic disorders. Our comprehensive evaluation identifies and treats all these factors for better success rates than diet-only approaches.

All our specialists are part of the same practice and regularly communicate about shared patients. Your primary weight loss physician coordinates your care and ensures all treatments work together effectively.

Will insurance cover the specialist consultations?

Many of our services are covered by insurance, particularly endocrinology consultations for diabetes or thyroid issues and sleep studies. We'll verify your benefits and provide cost estimates upfront.

What if I don't have any underlying medical conditions?

Even if testing doesn't reveal major medical issues, our comprehensive approach often identifies subtle factors that can be optimized to improve your weight loss success and overall health.

Can you work with my other doctors?
