Dr. Dolgoff’s Weigh: Child and Adolescent Weight Management practice opened in February 2008. The practice immediately received acclaim due to its successful results and patient satisfaction. Word of mouth and local pediatrician referrals have allowed the practice to grow tremendously in a short period of time. WNBC Evening News ran a segment raving about the practice on every WNBC affiliate in the country. My9 Evening News and WPIX News ran pieces supporting the program on its local news stations. Dr. Dolgoff has also been featured on WABC’s Eyewitness News and Health Journey Radio as a child obesity expert. Anton Newpapers and North Shore Today have printed articles praising Dr. Dolgoff’s Weigh.
