The Process

How Telehealth Works at TonedMD

A clear, supervised path — starting in person, continuing on your terms.

Initial Consult (Phone or In-Office)

Start with a free 15-minute consult — phone or video — to discuss your goals, health history, and whether a GLP-1 or other program is right for you. No obligation.

In-Office Screening in Cedarhurst

One visit to our Cedarhurst clinic (409B Central Avenue, 2nd Floor) for your health screening, labs review, and initial prescription — required before telehealth begins.

Ongoing Virtual Follow-Ups

After that, most appointments happen by video or phone. Your TonedMD provider adjusts your dosage, checks on side effects, and tracks your progress — from anywhere in NY State.

Nutrition Support, Virtually

Virtual sessions with our Registered Dietitian Asal Hakim, RD, complement your medical program with personalized, evidence-based guidance that fits your real life.

Common Questions

Telehealth at TonedMD — FAQ

Straight answers about how virtual care works here.

Who can use TonedMD telehealth?

Telehealth visits are available to residents of New York State. You must complete an initial in-office screening at our Cedarhurst clinic before telehealth follow-ups begin. Patients outside the Five Towns — including those in New York City, Westchester, or upstate — are welcome for telehealth once they complete that first in-person visit.

Do I ever need to come into the Cedarhurst office?

Yes — your first appointment is in-person at 409B Central Avenue, 2nd Floor, Cedarhurst, NY 11516 for your health screening, lab review, and initial prescription. After that, most follow-ups — dosage adjustments, progress reviews, side-effect check-ins — happen virtually.

What can be handled in a virtual visit?

Virtual visits cover GLP-1 dosage adjustments (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide), side-effect management, progress reviews, prescription renewals when appropriate, lab result discussions, and nutrition sessions with our Registered Dietitian. Most of your ongoing weight-loss care happens over telehealth after the initial screening.

Will I see the same provider at every telehealth visit?

Yes. Your care is managed by Peiman Ghatan, PA-C, with Dr. Jack Fatiha, MD as supervising physician. You will not be passed between unknown providers or care coordinators. Our dietitian Asal Hakim, RD is also available for virtual nutrition sessions as part of your program.

Does insurance cover telehealth weight-loss visits?

TonedMD is a self-pay practice and is not in-network with insurance plans. Telehealth visits are offered at transparent rates — call (516) 453-4553 and our team will walk you through current pricing.
