Medical Weight Loss
Our medical weight loss programs combine clinical expertise with personalized treatment plans. Patients receive comprehensive evaluations, body composition analysis, and ongoing physician supervision to ensure safe, effective results. We address underlying medical factors like hormonal imbalances while incorporating nutrition counseling and behavioral therapy for sustainable outcomes.
Bariatric Medicine
Specialized bariatric medicine services focus on obesity as a chronic disease. Our board-certified physician develops individualized treatment plans that may include FDA-approved medications, metabolic assessments, and lifestyle modifications. We emphasize long-term management strategies to prevent weight regain through regular follow-up and ongoing support.
Body Composition Analysis
We utilize advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure body composition changes during weight loss. This technology distinguishes fat mass from lean tissue, allowing precise tracking of progress and program adjustments. Regular monitoring helps maintain metabolic health while achieving fat loss goals through non-invasive, accurate measurements.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutritional counseling addresses individual dietary needs and preferences. Our programs educate patients about balanced nutrition, portion control, and healthy eating habits. We provide customized meal plans that accommodate medical conditions like diabetes while promoting sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term weight management.
Weight Loss Medications
FDA-approved weight loss medications are available when clinically indicated. Our physician carefully evaluates each patient to determine appropriate pharmacotherapy options that complement lifestyle changes. Medications are prescribed as part of comprehensive treatment plans to enhance satiety, control cravings, and support metabolic health during weight loss journeys.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Dr. Aron is awesome- she gives you all the tools and support you need to get to your goal weight. She helped me lose nearly 50lbs in seven months and I couldn't be happier! Unfortunately there's no secret magic to lose weight- but if you do your part with her guidance, you WILL succeed!

Dr. Aron helped me and taught me how to eat the right way. I lost 45lb going to her. I've tried many other diets and I wasn't losing and if I did it would be 10lb and then a stand still. Once I went to Dr. Aron. She gave me a food plan. Told me foods to cut out. And now I am where I want to be. And feel great.

Dr. Aron us changed my life. When I first started seeing her, I was overweight, had terrible eating habits, made awful food choices and was overall unhealthy. Under her guidance, I was able to lose almost 40lbs, lower my lipid count, lower my blood pressure and finally form long lasting healthy habits. Now I work out regularly and make way better food choices. I feel amazing. My energy level and self confidence have increased tremendously.
I really love the website. It is always up to date. It is so easy to make an appointment and the best part is that she takes walk ins so I can walk in anytime it is convenient for me. Her staff is kind and friendly. I am always seen within minutes even without an appointment. I couldn't be happier! Thank you!

Update: Dr. Aron attempted to now act "polite" via a Yelp messages only after seeing my honest review even though she was extremely rude and dismissive to me in her office. She asked me to take down my review but I'm sorry for being HONEST. Not sure what "anxiety" or "uncertainty" she's talking about in her reply, I wasn't anxious at all during my appointments. She literally copy/pasted her information in the reply from a quick Google search.
Her program isn't personalized - she gives a generic weight loss guide to every single patient and never addressed my PCOS. She said she would update her photo two months ago and never did even though people have been complaining about her catfish photo on Yelp for years. She is still following a diet plan that was popular in the 1970s, further emphasizing my original post about her not keeping up with new developments in nutrition.
