About Our Doctor

Val Manocchio, MD

Bariatric Medicine / Critical Care

Dr. Manocchio received his bachelors’ degree from University of Miami, then attended the University of Miami, School of Medicine and in 1980 began practice as an Emergency Medicine Physician. In 1983 he returned to residency training in General Surgery at Staten Island Hospital in New York then went on to study Anesthesiology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center specializing in the fields of General, Pediatric, Obstetric, and Cardiac anesthesia. He practiced Clinical Anesthesiology in South Florida from 1986 until the late 90’s when he began limiting his practice to the care of patients requiring plastic and reconstructive surgery; in particular specializing in procedures directed toward correcting obesity related disfigurement. Over the years he has developed a unique understanding of the emotional and physical difficulties his overweight patients are troubled with. His interests now lie in the medical management of the disease of obesity employing the quickest and safest techniques for improvement of the associated co-morbidities, atherosclerosis, diabetes, vascular problems, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, dislipidemia, and depression. He is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and currently owns and operates a comprehensive Medical Weight Loss center and practice located in Southwest Ranches, Florida.

An appointment for evaluation can be scheduled by calling the office at (954) 252 5454.

The problem, Open your eyes; Overweight & Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic affecting nearly 2 out of 3 Americans. 2/3 of all Floridians and nearly 1/3 of Florida’s high school students are considered overweight or obese with compromise to their health. We are actually seeing teenagers suffering with heart attack and stroke.

We can’t ignore this serious problem any longer. Long before we show noticeable weight gain, “metabolic changes” in our physiology are silently killing us. This well described “metabolic syndrome” leads to inflammation and endothelial cell damage and it is this prothrombotic state which results in cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, separate from the Diabetes & Hypertension that develops.

A message from the doctor

I began my Emergency Medicine career in 1979 and practiced anesthesiology for several years. Today in my South Florida clinic I am truly saving many more lives. I help my patients achieve optimal health through weight loss. This website represents my desire to help as many persons as possible. Our quality products and fair prices are all you will need to achieve fitness and optimal health, along with your doctors OK, of course. I will strive to provide some key tips to help you lose weight but understand, you must be monitored by a medical doctor when dieting and medical monitoring is absolutely essential when using a VLCD (very low calorie diet).

My patients wish to look and feel better and I am personally rewarded with each pound we lose together. Most significantly they all dramatically improve their health, quite often able to cut down or stop their cardiovascular or lipid lowering medications.

I totally believe in our products and the benefits of weight loss and incidentally, I lost 36 pounds in 9 weeks on the very same VLCD we use at our center and I feel great. I still dine on these very same products every day, primarily because they taste so delicious but more importantly, because I unconditionally must maintain my new healthy weight.

If you feel you need to lose weight or you simply wish to live longer and enjoy a healthier lifestyle please make an appointment to see me in my South Florida office. My partner, also a member of the ASBP speaks fluent Spanish. You may call anytime to schedule (954) 252-5454, we are 10 minutes from Fort Lauderdale International airport.
