The Children and Adolescents Weight Loss Program

The Children and Adolescents Program at Medical Weight Loss of New York is a highly targeted weight loss program that addresses the behavioral, nutritional and social needs of children with weight issues.  

Why It Works

Dr. Scinta has put together a team of dedicated, caring professionals who are highly experienced in the science of weight loss. In this nurturing environment, young patients get the medical attention they need and develop confidence and strength to change ingrained eating patterns.

"Whether they have an underlying metabolic disorder, a genetic predisposition or have simply made too many poor nutritional choices, the children in our program lose excess weight quickly and do very well long-term."  

How It Works

  • Initial consultation and thorough medical assessment by Dr. Scinta to determine underlying medical causes
  • Customized meal plans
  • Weekly behavioral sessions for patients and families (Best results are achieved when weight issues are addressed as a family)
  • Exercise and nutritional counseling, critical to lasting success
  • Throughout the program, patients will meet with Dr. Scinta every 2 to 4 weeks to assess progress until goals are met and good maintenance habits are established.
