Teen Program
Medical Weight Loss of Cherry Hill is a new medical practice that focuses on helping both adults and teens with extra weight lose weight and find improved health and self-esteem.
Teens who are struggling with their weight need extra medical support and unique programming to help them to make the necessary changes in their lives to not just lose their extra weight, but to create lifestyle changes that will support healthy weight for a lifetime.
All of my patients will receive:
- A detailed medical and dietary history
- A laboratory evaluation for any underlying medical or hormonal issues
- An individualized treatment plan for weight loss that includes advanced nutrition and dietary counseling, exercise prescription, lifestyle support, and medical management of weight using anti-obesity medications that are FDA-approved for teens when deemed necessary.
- The New Direction® Medical Meal Replacement Program can be modified to safely help teens lose weight while keeping well-nourished and healthy.
I work with the family and patient to create a plan for each patient that works within their life and is easy to comply with. No two patients are treated the same. My teens have been having wonderful success with weight loss and making better choices for their futures.

An important goal for each patient is to do more than just lose weight; it is to MAINTAIN weight loss long-term and to make lifestyle changes that are sustainable for improved health.
Losing just 5% of body weight will significantly reduce a patient’s risk of many diseases, such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, fatty liver diseases (currently the most common cause of cirrhosis in the US), type 2 diabetes, arthritis of the knees, hips and hands, heart disease and many forms of cancer.
