Center for Weight Loss at Raritan Bay Medical Center
Verified listingAbout Center for Weight Loss at Raritan Bay Medical Center
The Center for Weight Loss at Raritan Bay Medical Center is a hospital weight-loss programme inside Hackensack Meridian Health's Perth Amboy campus, at 530 New Brunswick Avenue. It covers both the medical and the surgical side of weight treatment. It publishes no prices at all — no consultation fee, no programme cost, and no statement about which insurance plans it takes.
## What do they actually treat weight with?
The centre's own page lists four things: nutrition counseling, medication weight loss, physical activity, and surgical weight loss. That is the whole of what this address claims for itself.
Hackensack Meridian's system-wide weight management page names more: medical weight loss, bariatric surgery, gastric band surgery (Lap-Band), gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and bariatric revision surgery. Those six describe the programme across the health system rather than being confirmed for the Perth Amboy site. If one particular operation is the reason you are calling, ask whether it is done here or at another Hackensack Meridian hospital.
## Which weight-loss medication do they prescribe?
Unclear. "Medication Weight Loss" is as specific as the wording gets. No drug is named, no GLP-1 is mentioned, and no brand appears — not on the location page, not on the system weight management page. If you are looking for semaglutide or tirzepatide by name, that is a phone call rather than something you can settle from the site.
## What does it cost?
Nothing is published. We looked at the location page, the system weight management service page, and the weight management locations index on 22 September 2026, and found no consultation fee, no programme price, and no list of accepted plans. For a hospital programme that is not unusual — bariatric care in particular tends to be priced through a benefits check rather than a rate card — but it does mean you cannot compare this centre on cost before you ring.
## What else is missing?
Quite a lot, for a hospital page. No clinician is named, so you cannot see who runs the programme or who would perform surgery. No opening hours are published. There is no statement about telehealth and no service area. The pages never describe who the programme is for or how it works step by step — no BMI threshold, no intake sequence, no indication of whether medical and surgical patients follow the same path. All of that was checked on 22 September 2026 across the three pages listed below.
## Where is it?
530 New Brunswick Avenue, Perth Amboy, NJ 08861. Perth Amboy sits in Middlesex County, roughly between Woodbridge and South Amboy, though the site does not publish a service area of its own.
