About NJ Gastroenterology & Health Wellness

What is NJ Gastroenterology & Health Wellness?

NJ Gastroenterology & Health Wellness is a gastroenterology practice that also runs a physician-supervised medical weight management program. It has offices in Egg Harbor Twp, Atlantic City and Millville, and describes its care as available across New Jersey. No street address is published, so ask which office is nearest when you call 609 382 0111.

Brian Berberian, DABOM, MD directs the weight management side of the practice. He is a board-certified gastroenterologist with over 20 years of experience as a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Dr. Berberian is the physician named for prescribing.

On the weight management side it offers semaglutide and tirzepatide, along with lifestyle coaching, nutrition counseling, body composition analysis, insulin resistance evaluation and weight maintenance programs. Its digestive care covers colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, GERD, IBS, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, fatty liver disease, colon cancer screening and Barrett's esophagus. Hormone therapy and peptide therapy are not among its services. It offers telemedicine around the clock. Its Google listing shows a rating of 2.6 from 10 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. It states that insurance is accepted but does not name which insurers. Expect to get every figure directly from the office before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and whether Dr. Berberian sees you in person or by telemedicine. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, because that is not stated. Ask whether a monthly fee would include the medication, and what the monthly cost of the medication is if it does not.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and which insurers they bill. Ask which states the telemedicine covers, since none are named. Ask how to cancel or pause a program and whether there are membership terms. The first step is described in its own words: "Meet with your provider to discuss symptoms, history, and screening needs." Ask what that first visit costs and whether it is billed to insurance.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have a digestive condition such as GERD, IBS or fatty liver disease and want it handled alongside medical weight loss in one practice. It also suits you if you are willing to get prices and medication details on the phone before you commit to anything. If those answers come back clear, it is worth calling.
