Valley Health System has launched the next evolution in its medical weight loss and bariatric surgery services, dubbed Valley LifeStart: The Center for Weight and Wellness, it announced Thursday.
The center offers weight-loss solutions for adults of all ages, featuring medically managed options ranging from medications to surgery such as gastrectomy, where appropriate. Paramus-based Valley said its team will work with patients to find the right strategy or strategies to meet weight-loss goals, including lifestyle changes, exercise plans and more.
“An individual today who is looking to lose weight has many options open to them, and our primary role is to help patients navigate these choices and determine the best option for them,” Dr. Naser Gharaibeh, director of metabolic medicine and weight loss at Valley, said in a prepared statement. “We take into account an individual’s medical history, family history, lifestyle and personal preferences in reaching a weight-loss plan that will work best for them.
“We realize that each patient’s weight-loss needs and goals are different, which is why we offer several solutions. Through a personalized approach to care, we provide our patients with the tools to lose weight successfully, maintain their success and live healthier, fuller lives.”
Valley’s LifeStart team includes doctors, nurse practitioners, dietitians, social workers and patient coordinators.
The center is located at 947 Linwood Ave. in Ridgewood, but will move to its new location at 80 Route 4 E., Suite 490, in Paramus as of Aug. 27.
