Services
- Our Clinical Services
Three focused areas of care.
One consistent standard.
Explore child and adolescent medicine for children ages 8 and up, alongside adult care. Services include obesity medicine and weight loss, addiction medicine and behavioral addictions, and mental health evaluation and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, and depression. You may seek care in one area or coordinate care across concerns. Telemedicine is available when you are physically located in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, or Virginia.
In-person appointments are available in Manhattan, New York, and Manasquan, New Jersey. Find office addresses and telehealth eligibility, or review private-pay fees before choosing an appointment.
- Obesity Medicine
Child, adolescent & adult weight management.
Care for children 8 and up, adolescents, and adults begins with a review of weight and growth history, health risks, previous treatment, daily routines, medications, and goals. Your plan may include nutrition, activity, sleep, and FDA-approved GLP-1 prescribing and ongoing medication management when appropriate. Medication eligibility depends on the specific product, age, and clinical assessment; seeing children 8 and up, adolescents, and adults does not mean GLP-1 weight-management medicines are approved at age 8.
Your first obesity medicine appointment
The initial 50-minute appointment focuses on your weight history, health concerns, previous approaches, current medications, goals, and appropriate treatment options. You will leave with a clear understanding of the recommended next steps and follow-up plan.
Your obesity medicine care may include
Medical Assessment
Review of your weight history, current health, medications, previous treatment, laboratory information, and risk factors.
Personalized Treatment
A structured medical plan designed around your health, schedule, preferences, and goals.
Medication Management
Evaluation and management of anti-obesity medication when it is clinically appropriate for your care.
Weight Maintenance
A deliberate strategy for protecting progress, responding to setbacks, and supporting long-term maintenance.
“Weight loss matters. Maintaining it matters just as much.”
Dr. Chhatpar’s obesity medicine approach is informed by triple board certification and personal experience losing and maintaining 110 pounds through diet, exercise, structure, and long-term lifestyle changes.
- Addiction Medicine
Addiction medicine & behavioral addictions.
Empire Medical Wellness provides child and adolescent addiction medicine, including assessment and care for behavioral addictions, alongside adult addiction care. Patients may seek help with substance use, compulsive behaviors, reducing risk, returning to treatment, or strengthening recovery. Age-appropriate outpatient care is available for children ages 8 and up, adolescents, and adults. Treatment suitability and the level of support needed are assessed individually.
Your first addiction medicine appointment
The initial 50-minute appointment focuses on your current concerns, medical history, substance use history, previous treatment, medications, goals, and immediate clinical needs. You will receive a clear explanation of treatment options and the recommended next step.
Addiction medicine care may include
Medical Evaluation
A focused review of substance use, health risks, prior treatment, medications, and current goals.

Evidence-based medication options when clinically appropriate, with monitoring and ongoing follow-up.
Recovery Planning

Coordination across levels of care
When detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment, or another level of support is clinically appropriate, Empire Medical Wellness can help coordinate the next step with trusted treatment partners. Outpatient medical care can continue or resume when it is clinically appropriate to do so.
- Mental Health Care
Thoughtful evaluation and medication management.
Empire Medical Wellness provides child and adolescent mental health care for ADHD, anxiety, and depression, along with adult mental health care. Evaluation and medication management are available for children ages 8 and up, adolescents, and adults. Care focuses on understanding symptoms, daily functioning, treatment response and side effects, and developing a clear, individualized plan.

Focused care when you need one service. Broader perspective when more than one area matters.
You may come to the practice specifically for obesity medicine, addiction medicine, or adult or child and adolescent mental health care. When more than one factor is clinically relevant, your treatment can account for the broader medical picture while keeping each goal clear and distinct.
