Weight Loss Programs
Why choose Park Avenue Medical Weight and Wellness?
If you’re like most of us, you’ve already tried the “amazing” fat loss pill that promises that you can eat all you want and still lose weight. You’ve probably already lost weight using one or more of the newest diet book diets that your friends tried or learned to calculate your “points” to control your caloric intake. And you’ve probably also spent the money on a commercial weight loss diet and meal plan where reduced calorie foods were shipped to your home. While you may have achieved some initial success on these programs, you eventually discovered that whatever weight you may have lost, you gained back – and then some – once you returned to your normal eating habits and lifestyle.
The only medically supervised weight loss plan that really works
At Park Avenue Medical Weight and Wellness, there are no miracle cures, no magic vitamin injections, no fad diets and absolutely no supplements, herbs or “mysterious” fatburners of any kind. What you will find is Dr. Kane’s exceptional medical knowledge and unparalleled commitment to you, the patient, and a Holistic approach to healthy, attainable weight loss that focuses on the whole person – not just your weight.
Dr. Kane prides himself on individualized care which includes a personalized weight loss program, customized exercise plan, personal counseling and group support. And, unlike other doctors who are often rushed to see up to 60 patients a day, Dr. Kane limits his patient load so that he can spend the time necessary with each patient, answering all questions and concerns personally and taking as much time as needed to ensure his patients’ complete comfort and trust. This commitment to his patients includes expanded office hours and weekend appointments, if necessary. Dr. Kane is always accessible to his patients should a need or emergency arise.
A multi-faceted approach that targets individual needs
Dr. Kane works with each patient to create a total health plan that takes into account individual needs. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, Dr. Kane’s treatment plans are comprehensive and target the social, genetic, physical, career and emotional components of life which often negatively influence and impact healthy lifestyle choices. Dr. Kane’s weight loss programs are also medically supervised.
Because so much of weight gain and weight loss is governed by emotions and psychological factors, Dr. Kane offers an on-staff psychotherapist who is well versed in helping children, adults and families understand the nature of their eating patterns and to help patients overcome roadblocks which may have prevented successful weight loss in the past. Individual and group appointments are available.
How it works
Dr. Kane begins treatment with each new patient by performing a thorough medical evaluation and body composition analysis. He then meets with each patient to complete an in-depth study of the patient’s weight gain, dieting and exercise histories, before creating an individualized diet and exercise regimen based on each patient’s specific needs and goals. Several options are available:
26 Week Program – This customized program is designed for patients who need or want to receive significant individual attention, and focuses mainly on healthy lifestyle choices, management and prevention of diseases that are caused by overweight and obesity, and includes a plan for sustained weight loss. Patients meet with Dr. Kane on a weekly to bi-weekly basis and can choose to add the option of incorporating individual or support group counseling.
13 Week Program – Similar in structure to the 26 week program, this program is designed for the patient who needs to lose weight for a specific event or whose weight loss goal is less than 15 pounds.
52 Week Program – For those patients with more than 50 pounds to lose or who suffer from multiple medical problems and desire a longer program for more sustained weight loss.
Individual Consultation – For those not interested in formal programs, Dr. Kane is available for individual sessions that can be scheduled on a regular basis.
