s p e c i a l a d v e r t i s i n g s e c t i o n DOCTORS & HOSPITALS October 2022 NorthShore Weight and Metabolism, LLC Not long after starting a career as a board-certified endocrinologist, Dr. Dominica Costello found herself spending much of her time counseling her patients on lifestyle habits and whole-body health, shifting the focus away from medications when possible. In 2018 after obtaining a second board-certification in Obesity Medicine, Dr. Costello founded a comprehensive medical weight loss program to augment her growing endocrine practice. NorthShore Weight and Metabolism has since developed into the premier full-scope metabolic health practice on the North Shore. Her team shares a passion for providing holistic medical care and nutrition education to those struggling with weight, obesity, and the vast scope of related conditions. Dr. Costello keeps up to date with all the current treatment options for weight loss by attending conferences and through ongoing discussions with her Obesity Medicine colleagues. She utilizes the latest technologies such as continuous glucose monitors, resting metabolic rate, and body composition measurements to guide treatment for metabolic conditions involving excess weight, and has many years of experience with insulin pump systems for diabetes. Her other areas of expertise include thyroid disease and thyroid cancer, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovarian disease. The team at NSWM includes Jen Katafigiotis, an experienced nutritionist/health coach trained specifically in the field of weight management, and Danielle Peterson, who has been pivotal in the creation of the current practice with her clinical and administrative skills. A thriving 25-year career in the field of medical weight loss, eating behavior, and nutrition education made Jen the perfect candidate for Director of Nutrition for the practice. Her superior skill set provides an unmatched experience for the patients she sees. Danielle has an extensive background in practice support and patient advocacy, provides top notch service, and ensures a continuous stream of communication between the clinicians and patients. "I would say most of our positive reviews focus on our kindness and respect, and that we genuinely care," says Dr. Costello. "I've kept the team small on purpose; I don't want to experience practice overgrowth. The nature of what we do requires continuity, authenticity, and effective communication. If our patients don't feel successful, we aren't successful." To learn more about the practice call 978-473-3221 or visit www.northshoreweightandmetabolism.com.
