Joan Stroud, MD

As an obesity medicine physician, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. At NYU Langone Health Ambulatory Care Brooklyn Heights, my team and I are dedicated to delivering consistent and professional to individuals seeking weight management. We are committed to staying at the forefront of medical innovations and providing our patients with the best possible care.

I am committed to helping patients achieve long-term health and wellness through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans. I am also actively involved in education, having contributed to projects on preventive care for adolescents and authored publications on weight loss and urban living. With a deep understanding of the complex factors that contribute to obesity, I focus on both the medical and emotional aspects of weight loss. Through a holistic approach, combining medical treatments, lifestyle changes, and patient education, my goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health, improve their quality of life, and overcome the challenges of obesity.

My career in medicine began with a deep interest in biology, which led me to earn my medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine. I have always been passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on their lives. Initially, I chose family medicine as my specialty because it allowed me to build long-term relationships with my patients and provide comprehensive care to individuals of all ages. Currently, my journey continues with obesity medicine as a board-certified practitioner.

I am passionate about fostering a supportive and judgment-free environment and believe in building strong relationships with patients and helping them set realistic, achievable goals. I want patients to know your health and wellbeing are my top priorities. My approach to care is patient-centered, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
