His highly trained team is dedicated to providing the highest level of patient care every step of the way. They have over 35 years of combined experience at treating obesity and have performed thousands of bariatric and general surgeries.

Whether you’re 600lbs trying to get down to 200lbs, or an elite athlete trying to drop below 10% body fat we could help you.
Dr Maffei also specializes and has a passion for advanced body contouring and liposuction. His technique strives to achieve aesthetically ideal human form by revealing underlying anatomical structures rather than simply removing fat. Fat cells are permanently destroyed for additional sculpting of your body moving beyond simple fat removal, into the realm of muscle sculpting with “shrink wrapping” of skin into ab creases creating a more athletic appearance. He has successfully performed these procedures on patients who travel from all over the country to seek his expertise. He has gained the trust of many in the bodybuilding community as some of his patients have achieved “pro card” bodybuilding status following his surgery.

Dr. Maffei also offers hormone replacement therapy (HRT) where the goal is to take what we know about the aging process and substantially mitigate its effects. Although time eventually gets the best of us, through our HRT program we strive to maintain healthy energy levels, lean muscle mass and sexual vitality by providing in-depth hormone and nutritional evaluations. Dr. Maffei first became interested in age management medicine as an avenue to improve his own health and well-being. After starting the program, he quickly realized the benefits as he dropped from 33 percent to 11 percent body fat while still being able to put on lean muscle mass, as well as lower his cholesterol and diabetes risk profile.

“The philosophy of this comprehensive nutrition, exercise and hormone replacement program is in my opinion really one of total healing as opposed to simply putting a Band-Aid on so many problems,” says Dr. Maffei. Our age management program’s main objectives include decreasing body fat, increasing muscle tone, improving insulin and cholesterol levels, increasing physical and sexual vitality, managing stress and improving mental sharpness and sleep quality.

Dr. Maffei is an appointed police surgeon for the City of Peekskill and regularly volunteers his time and surgical skills to help underprivileged patients in need of medical care. Dr. Maffei loves scuba diving, gardening, farming, skiing, archery, and koi pond keeping.
