Chhabra Anjana R MD（Hackensack, NJ）

Chhabra Anjana R MD has served the Hackensack, New Jersey community since 2001 with a focused practice in obesity medicine, weight management, and menopause care. Dr. Anjana Chhabra holds quadruple board certifications in Internal Medicine, Bariatric Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Holistic Medicine, positioning her practice at the intersection of evidence-based metabolic interventions and comprehensive wellness strategies. The clinic specializes in medically supervised weight loss programs that incorporate GLP-1 receptor agonist peptides alongside lifestyle modification, nutritional counseling, and hormonal optimization for patients seeking sustainable metabolic health improvements in Bergen County and the greater New York metropolitan area.

The practice offers three FDA-approved peptide therapies for weight management: Liraglutide, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide. These incretin-based medications work by enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying to reduce appetite and support weight reduction in patients with obesity or overweight with comorbidities. Dr. Chhabra’s bariatric medicine certification enables her to prescribe and monitor these therapies within structured weight loss protocols that address the underlying metabolic dysfunction contributing to weight gain. The clinic tailors peptide selection and dosing based on individual patient factors including BMI, metabolic markers, cardiovascular risk profile, and tolerance to gastrointestinal side effects. Patients receive ongoing monitoring of weight trends, body composition changes, and metabolic parameters such as hemoglobin A1c and lipid panels throughout treatment.

Dr. Chhabra’s integrative and holistic medicine certifications inform her approach to menopause management, where she addresses the metabolic shifts, weight gain, and body composition changes that frequently accompany perimenopause and postmenopause. Her practice evaluates hormonal status through comprehensive laboratory assessment and considers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy when clinically appropriate, alongside peptide therapies that may support metabolic function during this transition. The combination of her internal medicine foundation with specialized training in bariatric and integrative disciplines allows for management of complex patients with multiple comorbidities including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and polycystic ovary syndrome. This breadth of certification enables the clinic to address weight management not as an isolated concern but within the context of overall metabolic health, hormonal balance, and chronic disease prevention.

Patients at the Hackensack practice receive in-person consultations where Dr. Chhabra conducts thorough medical histories, physical examinations, and reviews laboratory work to establish baseline metabolic health before initiating peptide therapy. Initial visits typically include body composition analysis, discussion of weight loss goals, review of previous weight management attempts, and assessment of barriers to sustainable lifestyle change. The clinic provides structured follow-up schedules to monitor peptide therapy response, adjust dosing, manage side effects, and reinforce behavioral strategies that support long-term weight maintenance. Patients work directly with Dr. Chhabra throughout their treatment course rather than rotating among multiple providers, ensuring continuity of care and consistent clinical decision-making. The practice emphasizes patient education regarding the mechanisms of peptide therapies, realistic timelines for weight loss, and the importance of concurrent nutritional and physical activity modifications to maximize outcomes.

With over two decades serving the Hackensack community and a 5.0-star rating across patient reviews, the practice has established a reputation for expertise in medical weight management and a holistic approach that considers the interconnected factors influencing metabolic health. The clinic’s location in Hackensack provides access to patients throughout Bergen County, Hudson County, and nearby areas of New York seeking physician-supervised peptide therapy within an integrative medicine framework. Dr. Chhabra’s multiple board certifications distinguish the practice among weight management providers in northern New Jersey, offering patients access to a physician trained in both conventional bariatric medicine protocols and complementary integrative strategies. The practice accepts new patients seeking medically supervised weight loss, menopause-related metabolic concerns, or comprehensive obesity medicine care that extends beyond prescription management to address the full spectrum of factors influencing long-term metabolic health.
