Clear answers about our programs, cost, insurance and what to expect at Nusbaum Medical Centers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Nusbaum Medical Centers located?
Our main center is at 197 Ridgedale Ave, Ste 160, Cedar Knolls, NJ 07927, serving patients across Morris, Essex, Bergen, Union and the surrounding New Jersey counties. Call (973) 998-9833 to book.
What weight loss programs do you offer?
We offer the full spectrum: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, the Genetic Diet, HCG and keto programs, and surgical options including the gastric sleeve, bypass, band and balloon. Dr. Nusbaum recommends the right fit for you.
Do you take insurance?
Many of our surgical weight-loss procedures are covered by New Jersey insurance plans when medical criteria are met. Our team verifies your benefits and handles pre-authorization. Cosmetic treatments are self-pay, with financing available.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
It depends on the program. GLP-1 medications can deliver 15–20% body-weight loss; the gastric sleeve and bypass commonly produce 60–80% excess-weight loss. Your plan is personalized during your consultation.
Are your treatments doctor-supervised?
Yes. Every program and aesthetic treatment at Nusbaum Medical Centers is overseen by board-certified surgeon Dr. Michael Nusbaum and his clinical team — a higher standard than spas or clinics without physician oversight.
How do I get started?
The first step is a consultation. Call (973) 998-9833 or request an appointment online. We'll review your goals and health and design a personalized plan.
