Yes. In New York City, a licensed medical doctor can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when medically appropriate. Prescription weight loss treatment is part of a doctor-supervised medical weight loss program, which begins with a consultation and medical evaluation.
During a visit, the physician reviews your medical history, current weight, previous weight loss attempts, and overall health. This evaluation helps determine whether prescription weight loss medication may be a safe and appropriate option for you. Not every patient requires medication, and prescriptions are only provided when medically indicated.
Medical supervision is important because weight loss medications affect appetite, metabolism, and other systems in the body. A doctor monitors progress, adjusts treatment if needed, and ensures your weight loss plan supports your long-term health.
“Dr. Vadim Surikov is very knowledgeable in weight loss and overall health. He explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand your options.”
