About Lehigh Valley Weight Loss, Wellness, and Aesthetics

What is Lehigh Valley Weight Loss, Wellness, and Aesthetics?

Lehigh Valley Weight Loss, Wellness, and Aesthetics is a physician-led practice with offices in Allentown and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Its main work is medical weight loss, and it also offers a long list of aesthetic and wellness treatments. Two physicians are named as prescribers. John Scaffidi, MD, FABOM, FACOG is listed as Chief of Medical Bariatrics and is a board-certified gynecologist and medical bariatrician. Maneesh Ailawadi, MD, FSSO is a board-certified general surgeon who specializes in bariatric and metabolic surgery.

The weight loss program includes medication support with oral or injectable medicines, nutrition guidance, and exercise plans. Surgical options listed are Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and duodenal switch or SIPS. A semaglutide injection pen appears under its vitamin and peptide therapy services, alongside IV drips and vitamin injections. The first step is an evaluation that may include a medical history, a physical exam, a review of medications and habits, and lab testing, with an abdominal ultrasound if needed.

Aesthetic services include body sculpting with Venus Bliss MAX, Morpheus8 skin tightening, SmoothGlo, photorejuvenation, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, acne and scar treatment, and varicose and spider vein treatment. Women's health and pelvic pain care are also listed. Hormone therapy and longevity medicine are not described on its service pages. Its Google listing shows a 3.8 rating from 24 reviews.

This listing is for its Allentown office at 2200 West Hamilton , Suite 111.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no program price, and no statement on whether medication is included. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, offers HSA or financing, or provides telehealth, and it gives no membership terms or cancellation rules. Ask for every figure in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription, and whether you would see Dr. Scaffidi, Dr. Ailawadi, or another clinician. Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, and if it does not, what the medication costs on its own. Ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are included in any program fee. If surgery comes up, ask what the surgical consultation and procedure cost, and whether any of it is billed through insurance. Finally, ask how cancellation works, whether there is a minimum commitment, and whether telehealth is possible. You can put these questions to the office at (610) 821-8321.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-directed weight loss in Allentown or Bethlehem, may later want bariatric surgery from the same practice, and are comfortable paying out of pocket without a published price list. It is a weaker match if hormone therapy or longevity medicine is the main reason you are calling, since neither is described on its service pages.
