Medically Supervised Weight Management Program

Weight loss can reverse type 2 diabetes or prevent it in people who are at high risk. Through our Medically Supervised Weight Management Program, our medical team guides you through the Health Management Resources (HMR) Diet, a structured plan that includes pre-packaged shakes and meals that are tailored to help you reach your goal weight and then maintain your weight loss. This strategy is geared toward people with 30 pounds or more to lose and those who would benefit from the help of a personal coach and weekly nutrition classes.

For more information about medically supervised weight management, please call 516-663-DIET (516-663-3438).

Comprehensive Endocrinology Care

We provide specialized care for people who have metabolic bone diseases, including osteoporosis, osteopenia, Paget’s disease of bone, hypercalcemia, and hypocalcemia. Our endocrinologists use advanced bone density screening and prescription medications to help improve bone health and reduce the risk of fracture.

We also provide expert care for people with thyroid conditions such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and evaluation and diagnosis for thyroid neoplasia, which can indicate a benign tumor or, in rare cases, a cancerous growth. We provide referrals for surgical care if needed.
