Weight Loss Support and Management

Mount Sinai Doctors-234 East 85th Street offers a comprehensive weight management program through the Division of General Internal Medicine that is designed to treat the person as a whole. Our obesity medicine specialization, in combination with our primary care background, means that we are experienced in recommending treatment options (including medications like tirzepatide and semaglitude) that consider all the medical conditions that a patient has, ensuring a well-rounded and safe approach.

Our team consists of a physician and a dietician who collaborate to create tailored plans addressing all aspects of weight management, from physical health to emotional well-being, helping patients achieve sustainable results and improve their overall quality of life. Psychologist services are also available on a case-by-case basis.

We offer both individual visits and group visits as well as in-person and telehealth visits. All patients will first meet with a physician individually to assess which format best suits their needs and preferences. Individual visits are more traditional and may be easier to fit into busy schedules. Group visits offer a chance to work more closely with the weight management team and to join a supportive weight management patient community, providing additional encouragement and shared experiences to enhance the weight loss journey. For those who choose to participate in our group visit program, the program will meet monthly for at least six months.

Our primary care background also teaches us the importance of flexibility in treatment plans. We understand that plans change and people have competing priorities. We are committed to working closely with you to adapt your treatment as needed, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your life and supports your overall health goals.

The program is led by Jennifer Ng, MD and weight management visits are available weekly on Wednesdays from 8:20 am to 12:20 pm. Other appointment days/times can be accommodated as necessary.
