What is Maimonides Weight Management Center?
Maimonides Weight Management Center is a weight loss program within Maimonides Health, a Brooklyn hospital system. It opened in January and serves adults who want help with obesity or weight loss. The office is at the Maimonides Doctors Multispecialty Pavilion, 4813 9th Avenue, 6th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11220. The clinicians who prescribe are Alexander Abdurakhmanov, MD; Mert Erogul, MD; Elana Gluzman, MS, PA-C; Nina Paddu, DO; and Danny Poon, MD.
The practice focuses on weight loss and offers both medical and surgical routes. On the medical side, it names three medication types: GLP-1 receptor agonists, GIP combinations, and lipase inhibitors. It does not name specific brand-name drugs. Medical care also includes nutrition education, lifestyle guidance, exercise prescriptions, sleep hygiene, and stress management. The program lists individualized weight management plans, surgical weight loss, psychological screening, nutritional evaluation and dietary support, navigational support, and postoperative support groups.
In its own words: "Surgery is not the right approach for everyone. That’s why Maimonides offers a wide range of medical weight loss options."
It has a Google rating of 3.7 from 3 reviews and is listed as a weight loss service.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or a list of insurance plans it accepts. It also does not say whether medication is included in any program fee, or whether there is a monthly membership. Medication and surgery cost very different amounts, so ask for each one separately and get the total in writing before your first visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who will write your prescription and whether it will be one of the five clinicians named above. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether its cost is part of the program fee or billed on top. Ask what the consultation costs, and whether the clinic accepts your insurance for the visit, the labs, or a surgery consultation. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost each time. If you are offered a monthly plan, ask how you cancel and whether you owe anything afterward. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and the scheduling line is 718-283-6962.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want medication or surgery from a hospital-based team and you are ready to get written prices before you commit. It is less of a fit if you need published prices or a flat monthly rate you can see up front, because the clinic publishes neither.
