About The Institute for Weight Management and Wellness

Dr. Chhabra runs a weight management practice in Hackensack and folds menopause care into it. She is a board certified internist who has spent more than 20 years in obesity medicine, and she treats midlife weight change as part of the menopause picture rather than a separate problem. For symptoms she prescribes hormone therapy, and she offers SSRIs to women who cannot take hormones or would rather not. She also watches the longer term effects of falling estrogen, with bone density and heart risk screening built into the plan. New patients start with a phone call about treatment options and cost, then come in for an evaluation, and there is a menopause health questionnaire alongside the general new patient forms. Care is in person at one office that is open three weekdays and every other Saturday.
