About Oksana Aron, M.D., Medical Weight Loss

What is Oksana Aron, M.D., Medical Weight Loss?

Oksana Aron, M.D., Medical Weight Loss is a weight loss practice with offices in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Dr. Aron is the prescriber, and her credential is M.D. She has been in practice since 1989, and she is a physician with special training in bariatric medicine. Google lists the practice at 4.7 from 68 reviews, in the weight loss service category.

The clinic's services are phentermine weight loss, GLP-1 weight loss with Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo, and an "Affordable Weight Loss" option. Medications named include phentermine, phendimetrazine, semaglutide, tirzepatide, Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound and Foundayo. The clinic offers monthly telehealth consultations for qualified patients in New York State, and some in-person visits are still required. Languages spoken include English, Spanish and Russian.

This listing is for its Brooklyn office at 7032 4th Ave.

What does it cost?

Its program averages about $40 a week. It does not say whether that figure includes medication. It does not publish GLP-1 medication prices or a consultation fee. Payment is fee-for-service and expected at the office visit, so the clinic does not bill insurance. On membership terms: "We don’t require registration fees nor lifetime commitments, you pay on a per visit basis." No cancellation terms are published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and confirm it is Dr. Aron. Ask whether the $40 weekly average covers medication, and if not, what the medication costs on top of it. Ask whether the Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo prescribed are brand-name products or compounded versions. Ask for the consultation fee, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Some prescription appetite suppressants are provided free at a follow-up visit, so ask which medications that covers. Ask for office hours, since none are listed, and whether a telehealth visit still requires an in-person visit first. Ask how to stop or cancel a program. The phone number is 718-491-5525.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led, cash-pay weight loss program that can include prescription medication, and you can live with asking about medication prices before you commit. It is also a fit if you live in New York State and can handle some visits remotely.
