Top Hampton’s NY Medical Weight Loss Doctor Announces Influx in Patients Seeking Mounjaro™


Hamptons Medical Weight Loss Doctor - Logo

Hamptons Medical Weight Loss Doctor – Logo

Our practice is one of very few New York board certified providers that offer compounded tirzepatide for medical weight loss, as the nationwide shortage of the medication has put a strain on its availability.

Medical director and founder of the Southampton, NY based Hamptons Medical Weight Loss Doctor, Dr. Sue Decotiis, announced today that her specialty medical weight loss practice has noted a surge in men and women seeking Mounjaro™ (also known by its generic sister name tirzepatide) one-weekly injectable peptide therapy for medical weight loss. Mounjaro™ is FDA-approved to treat overweight / obese individuals, as well as individuals affected by type 2 diabetes.

According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine: “With the use of the efficacy estimated at 40 weeks, greater reductions in the fasting serum glucose level were observed with all tirzepatide doses than with semaglutide. In addition, all the tirzepatide doses resulted in greater reductions than those with semaglutide in the patient-measured mean blood glucose levels at all seven time points”, meaning patients who received weekly tirzepatide injections and practiced healthy lifestyle choices were able to lose sufficient weight compared to those who underwent semaglutide injections, alternatively.

“Our practice is one of very few New York board certified providers that offer compounded tirzepatide for medical weight loss, as the nationwide shortage of the medication has put a strain on its availability,” the triple board certified medical weight loss specialist, Dr. Sue Decotiis observed. Patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity have a long history of managing their weight successfully with the help of the GLP-1 receptor agonist.

Due to widespread isolation brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, an increase in people seeking Mounjaro® weight loss counseling can be attributed to this worldwide health crisis. Many Americans adopted a dramatic and prolonged inactive lifestyle. The National Institute of Health states that psychological distress, pre-pandemic weight status, having children at home, and the amount of time since the last bodyweight check were statistically significant predictors of pandemic weight gain.

About Us

The board certified Hamptons weight loss specialist doctor offers prescriptions for medical weight loss including Mounjaro, Ozempic, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide. Peptide therapy for weight loss is also offered including AOD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug), CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin, and Tesofensine. Hamptons Medical Weight Loss Doctor, specializing in weight loss treatments, is spearheaded by the best in class triple board certified medical weight loss doctor, Sue Decotiis, MD.

Hamptons Medical Weight Loss Doctor frequently treat treats patients from South Hampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Hampton Bays, Montauk, Sag Harbor, Watermill, Southampton, West Hampton, and Quogue.

Bola AI Set to Roll Out Generative AI Feature in Dental Patient Charting Software


News Image

As we seek to digitally transform healthcare, we are continuously in pursuit of creating state-of-the-art technology that improves the experience of dental professionals and patients alike.

Revolutionary innovation continues at Bola Technologies, Inc. (Bola AI), as the leading provider of voice technology for healthcare and dental professionals is set to become the first company to implement generative AI and LLMs into its dental patient charting notes solution. The solution is expected to become available later this year.

The generative AI addition to Bola’s Clinical Notes software is designed to help turn tedious tasks into simple, quick engagements through AI. It allows for a fast, accurate voice transcription, freeing up dentists, hygienists and front-office staff to better serve the needs of patients by alleviating hours previously spent on note-taking and patient charting.

“The future of speech artificial intelligence is here,” said Rushi Ganmukhi, founder and CEO of Bola AI. “As we seek to digitally transform healthcare, we are continuously in pursuit of creating state-of-the-art technology that improves the experience of dental professionals and patients alike. Adding human-in-the-loop AI capabilities to our software is the next step toward developing a truly touchless environment for dental practices. One of the most powerful aspects of AI is personalization, allowing providers to use their personal workflow on a general product.”

Dental health practices that leverage Bola AI’s Clinical Notes software can realize the following benefits:


  • Creating convenience and standardization in workflow.
  • Enabling more quality time with patients.
  • Eliminating the need to scribble notes between appointments.
  • Dictating common workflows by working with PMs templates.
  • Using standardized templates for insurance and documentation purposes.
  • Alleviating work after hours by making note dictation quicker.

Clinical Notes — available now for use with any practice management software — works with or without Bola AI’s Voice Perio system, which enables dental staff to seamlessly record periodontal data directly into client PMs and EHR systems in real time. Clinical Notes is trained on dental vocabulary, improves its AI use over time and can be used with any desktop-based EHR.

“At Bola AI, our focus is to make time-consuming tasks easier and more efficient,” says Ganmukhi. “Introducing generative AI into our Clinical Notes software accomplishes those goals and helps practices drive additional revenue while reclaiming extra time in the process.”

Empowered, hosted by Meg Ryan, covers Hair Loss and Treatments


News Image

Men, women, and even children can experience hair loss. It can be emotionally difficult to lose hair, whether temporary or permanent.

The TV series Empowered with Meg Ryan highlights hair loss causes and treatments in an upcoming program. The episode will share advanced innovations in hair loss and expert insight.

Empowered is an educational documentary series shedding light on significant stories impacting consumers worldwide.

Producers from Empowered with Meg Ryan collaborated with relevant groups specializing in hair loss to secure content for the program.

Some hair loss is typical, with most individuals losing some hair daily as part of a normal hair growth cycle. It’s average for a healthy person to lose around 100 strands of hair a day. Usually, hair loss grows back, and people can maintain a full head of hair. However, various illnesses, stress, hormonal changes, aging, tight hairstyles, perms or bleaching, and inherited conditions can affect a hair growth cycle. These conditions can cause hair to fall but prevent it from growing back.

Men, women, and even children can experience hair loss. It can be emotionally difficult to lose hair, whether temporary or permanent. Hair can significantly impact one’s self-esteem.

The most typical types of hair loss are Androgenic alopecia, Alopecia areata, Telogen effluvium, and Anagen effluvium. Treatment plans can vary, including medication, hair transplants, or platelet-rich plasma.

Segments of Empowered are developed through a quality-controlled and collaborative creative process. The Empowered team of creators utilizes their cumulative decades of experience to create unique and informational content. The Empowered program is developed for educational purposes and is made for distribution for multiple networks. Each episode is created using advanced filming techniques and technologies.

Christie Black announces the release of ‘Call Her Faith’


News Image

Christie Black announces her entry to the publishing scene with the release of “Call Her Faith: Seek Peace, Find Self, Know Love” (published by Archway Publishing), a collection of poetry that reflects on a young woman’s 16-year journey through a multitude of experiences as she battled her fear to discover the gift of self-love.

In this book, Black penned poetry that tells a poignant story of heartbreak and trauma, hope and faith, depression and despair, and new life and love. Told in three parts—Seek Peace, Find Self, Know Love—Call Her Faith reflects on an inner battle between fear and love.

An excerpt from the book reads:

And how may I keep my faith strong?

“Allow the beat of your heart and the flow of your breath,

the beauty of nature and the breeze of the wind,

the light of the moon and the mysteries of the universe

to remind you of how much you are loved.”

And this is no more than a reminder of the message of absolute love.

“The battle between fear and love is a universal concept that all humanity can relate to,” Black says. She adds, “this collection of poetry serves to encourage the belief that it is always possible to cultivate peace, healing, and love within oneself.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/840108-call-her-faith

‘America Accept the Truth, Repent, and Save Our Country’ released


News Image

Dr. Derek Lawrence-Harper marks his return to the publishing scene with the release of “America Accept the Truth, Repent, and Save Our Country” (published by LifeRich Publishing).

Having lived in the United States for many years, the author has seen a shift in the morality and direction of this country. Prayer is no longer in schools, violence and abuse increased, and family structures diminished. This book aims to lead people to Christ by first addressing unresolved issues that are often dismissed and ignored by the mainstream population. The author hopes that the stating truths can cause people to feel uncomfortable, encourage them to fact check to what they believe, and inspire them to re-read the Bible.

“This book is POWERFUL because it will open people’s eyes, ears, and mind to instill inner strength. This book is INFORMATIVE because it will provide information that you may not have been aware of. This book is INSPIRATIONAL because it will provide HOPE based upon the scriptures,” the author describes.

When asked what he wants readers to take away from his writing, “I want readers to be shocked by the information provided in the book and self-assess their lives and make any changes (repent) to make a positive change that helps our country improve one person at a time. I believe that if people read and recommend this book to others while aligning our lives to the bible we can save or at least delay the judgment upon America.”
