Medical Weight Loss Therapy in Teaneck, NJ
Weight loss therapy at Dahan Wellness Center is led by Dr. Aimé Dahan, a double board-certified physician in Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine. Instead of a one-size-fits-all program, you get a personalized medical plan built around your health, your history, and your goals.
How Medical Weight Loss Therapy Works
A Medical Approach to a Medical Condition
Obesity is a chronic, complex medical condition shaped by genetics, hormones, metabolism, sleep, stress, medications, and environment. It is not a failure of willpower. Medical weight loss therapy treats it the way any chronic condition should be treated: with a careful evaluation, an evidence-based plan, and ongoing physician follow-up.
A Comprehensive First Evaluation
Your first visit is a 90 to 120 minute evaluation that looks well beyond the number on the scale. Dr. Dahan reviews your medical history, current medications, past weight loss attempts, eating patterns, activity, sleep, and the health conditions that matter most to you.
A Personalized Treatment Plan
Your plan combines evidence-based guidance on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and behavior. When appropriate, it may include proven weight loss medications such as GLP-1 therapies. Every recommendation is matched to you rather than to a template.
Preserving Lean Muscle Mass
Losing weight should mean losing fat, not strength. Your plan includes guidance on nutrition and strength-building activity designed to help preserve lean muscle mass as you lose weight, which supports metabolism, mobility, and long-term results.
Ongoing Support and Enhanced Physician Access
Follow-up visits of about 40 minutes let us adjust your plan as you progress. Between visits, enhanced physician access means you can reach out when questions or side effects come up, and timely or urgent appointments are available when needed.
Built for Sustained Weight Loss
Quick fixes rarely last. The goal of therapy is sustained weight loss and better metabolic health over the long term, so we plan for maintaining your results from the very first visit.
Who Weight Loss Therapy Can Help
Medical weight loss therapy may be right for you if you have struggled to lose weight or keep it off, or if your weight is affecting your health. Dr. Dahan also treats the metabolic conditions that often come with excess weight, including:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Fatty liver disease
- Sleep apnea

Frequently Asked Questions
How is medical weight loss therapy different from a diet program?
A diet program gives everyone the same plan. Medical weight loss therapy starts with a physician's evaluation of your health, history, and metabolism, then builds a personalized plan that can include nutrition and activity guidance, behavioral support, and medication when appropriate, with ongoing medical follow-up.
Will I need medication?
Not necessarily. Medication is one tool among several. Dr. Dahan will discuss whether medication makes sense for you based on your health, goals, and history, and you will decide together.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. In-person visits are available at 265 Cedar Lane, Suite 1, Teaneck, NJ 07666, and telehealth appointments are also available.
Does insurance cover weight loss therapy?
Dr. Dahan is an out-of-network provider. Upon request, you will receive a superbill (itemized statement) you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Coverage depends on your individual plan.
