Medical Weight Loss Programs
Our physician-supervised programs combine medical expertise with behavioral counseling to address individual weight loss needs. Patients receive personalized treatment plans incorporating dietary guidance, prescription medications when appropriate, and ongoing monitoring. This holistic approach ensures sustainable results while improving related health conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Physician Supervised Diet
Board-certified physicians design customized dietary plans monitored through regular medical evaluations. This evidence-based approach integrates nutritional science with individual health profiles to optimize weight loss outcomes. Patients benefit from continuous medical oversight to ensure safe, effective progress toward their health goals.
Telehealth Consultations
Remote medical consultations provide flexible access to weight loss expertise through secure video platforms. Patients maintain consistent care with virtual check-ins for progress monitoring, medication adjustments, and behavioral support. This service ensures continuity of care regardless of location or schedule constraints.
Prescription Drug Programs
Specialized pharmaceutical treatments complement dietary interventions under strict medical supervision. Our programs incorporate FDA-approved weight loss medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists when clinically indicated. These treatments are carefully monitored to maximize efficacy while maintaining patient safety and treatment adherence.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one counseling sessions address psychological and lifestyle factors affecting weight management. Certified professionals provide personalized strategies for sustainable habit formation without group therapy formats. This focused approach develops tailored coping mechanisms and motivational techniques for long-term success.

Report
Staff is rude and should obtain training on how to better communicate with patients. I had an appointment which was confirmed by text but upon arrival the staff said I did not have a appointment and refused to have the doctor see me.

I absolutely love this facility! the staff is always so polite, and the atmosphere is always so calm and comfortable. Dr. Lucy goes above and beyond for her patients! I couldn't be happier with the results that are showing. Losing weight is a struggle, but with the support of the Long Island Weight Loss Institute you can achieve the goals you set for yourself!

Dr. Lucy is my doctor at LIWL center and I couldn't be happier. Because of her, she has helped me and coached me with my weight loss and she is the reason I finally have the confidence I do today. At each appointment we discuss my weekly routines on how I stay consistent with my weight loss, exercise routines, and my medications. If it weren't for Dr. Lucy I don't know where I would be today. I cannot THANK HER ENOUGH for being so professional, kind, attentive and understanding in her position at LIWL. So Dr. Lucy, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are amazing and You are the best! Thank you for being you!

I have been a patient since they had their facility in Westbury. Their plans are reasonable and effective and I was always successful on the program compared to many others out there. If you follow the plan you will lose weight. Dr. G is very professional, informative and genuinely cares about his patients' health and well being.
