Brooklyn life does not always leave room for repeated clinic visits.

GoalBMI Wellness gives Brooklyn adults a practical way to begin from a private location with a licensed New York provider.

Care built around real life

Weight loss care that fits a Brooklyn schedule

Many Brooklyn patients are not starting from zero. They have tried meal plans, gym routines, walking more, or a previous medication, but hunger, weight regain, health conditions, shift work, or family obligations made consistency difficult.

Your first appointment is a medical conversation, not an automatic prescription. We ask what you have tried, what has been difficult, how your weight affects your health, and what kind of support would be realistic in your daily routine. If treatment begins, follow-up focuses on progress, tolerance, nutrition, activity, and the next practical step.

  • Individual plans based on your health and previous experience
  • Telehealth visits without adding another trip across Brooklyn
  • Follow-up that addresses progress, side effects, and maintenance
  • Prescription medications when clinically appropriate

Tirzepatide and semaglutide options for Brooklyn patients

Medication is one possible part of care, not the entire program. After reviewing your health and goals, your provider can explain whether a brand-name medication, a patient-specific compounded option, or a non-medication plan may be appropriate.

GLP-1 / GIP

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide works on GIP and GLP-1 pathways involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. Your provider may discuss an FDA-approved brand-name product or, when individual medical needs and applicable requirements support it, a patient-specific compounded option.

GLP-1

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that may help eligible patients manage appetite as part of a provider-guided plan. Brand-name products have different approved uses, which your provider will explain before recommending treatment.

Beyond medication

Comprehensive support

Your plan may also address eating patterns, activity, sleep, weight-related conditions, progress monitoring, and a realistic maintenance strategy.

See program pricing →

About compounded tirzepatide

Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not a generic equivalent of Zepbound® or Mounjaro®. It may be considered only for an identified patient when a licensed provider determines that it is clinically appropriate and applicable compounding requirements are met. Availability can change, and no medication is guaranteed before evaluation.

Thank you so much doctor for your kindness , support , and excellent medícal care. I was defeated and frustrated with my excess weight and overall health. Having weight loss surgery was by far the best decision of my life.

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Terushkin after struggling with a 10-month weight loss plateau, 50 lbs away from my goal following bariatric surgery. I was desperate for other options. I appreciated how direct he was, got straight to the point and laid out a clear plan. Seven months later, I’ve reached my goal weight flawlessly. The clinic is beautiful, spotless, and equipped with very friendly, supportive staff. I’m so glad I visited last autumn. It was truly life-changing. Highly recommend.

"I found Dr. Alex through Goal BMI, and it's the best phone call I ever made. I am 7 months into having the gastric sleeve and have lost just about 100 lbs. with no complications. The medical staff are the best and walk you through every step. I 100% recommend going to see Dr. Alex." Almost 3-year update: today, I have passed my goal Weight of 200 LBS and am at 175 LBS. I lost a total of 145 LBS—still no issues or Complications. One of the best Decisions I made was picking Goal BMI.

Amazing Experience! I started my process back in March and went in a little skeptical, hoping this would be the right place for me. I met with Dr. Alex and from the first appointment I knew I was in good hands. He is a great doctor, very friendly, real, and honest. He explained what would work best for me and guided me every step of the way. The front desk staff is always nice and welcoming and the office is clean and organized. I also had some online appointments since I couldn’t always go in person and the process was super smooth. They work closely with other offices and specialists who already know what you’re there for which made everything easy and efficient when you go for your pre op requirements or clearances. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Monday 10/20 and Dr. Alex was amazing. He met with me before surgery, after surgery, and again on the day of discharge. That level of care meant a lot. Today is day six post-op and I’m feeling really good. The first few days were a little painful which is totally normal after surgery, but I’m healing very nicely. I’m already recommending this office to my friends who are interested in doing the same. 100% recommend Dr. Alex and his team!
