Bilal Mannan, MD MHP

About

Dr. Bilal Mannan is a board-certified internal medicine physician, who specializes in metabolic health and obesity medicine. He is also passionate about holistic senior care. His journey in medicine began at St. George's University, where he earned his MD, followed by his training in internal medicine at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ Health System. Dr. Mannan's diverse clinical experience, spanning acute in-patient care, post-acute settings, and outpatient services, is complemented by his administrative roles as a medical director for various healthcare agencies.

Recognizing the epidemic of chronic diseases and their critical impact linked to poor metabolic health, Dr. Mannan was driven to specialize further in obesity medicine and metabolic health. His accreditation by the Society of Metabolic Health and the American Board of Obesity Medicine exemplifies his dedication to transformative care.

Passionate about improving the quality of life for the elderly, Dr. Mannan has focused on the often-overlooked aspects of senior care, particularly the lack of holistic approaches in treating the aging population. He specializes in de-prescription, aiming to reduce medication reliance safely, and promotes an approach to aging that emphasizes vitality and grace. This commitment to enhancing senior care is rooted in his deep understanding of the unique health challenges faced by older adults.

In 2019, Dr. Mannan, along with his wife Dr. Malik, founded Avicenna Direct Care. This multi-specialty practice is a testament to their shared vision of revolutionizing preventive medicine from pediatrics to geriatrics through lifestyle modifications and targeted interventions. They aim to empower patients in their health journeys, offering personalized care that addresses the needs of patients at all stages of life, particularly seniors.

Dr. Mannan's approach to healthcare transcends treating symptoms and conditions; it's about nurturing wellness and vitality across the lifespan, with a special focus on prevention and lifestyle modification.

Practice Reviews

Dr. Mannan is fantastic. Thanks to his excellent advice, I'm really close to my goal weight. Best of all, my blood pressure is back to normal without medication! He's also very supportive and enthusiastic about my progress.

Ted Kendris

For years I tried various diet programs with no luck. I have been very successful with Dr. Mannan. His program is straightforward and does not involve counting calories. He has provided a list of food that I can eat and another list that I cannot partake in. While there is a focus on weight loss, this in only one aspect of his approach.

Fran Kendris

Dr Mannan is a great Doctor. He spends his time with patients educating and teaching them. Vastly knowledgeable about nutrition and prevention. He helped me reverse my type 2 diabetes and lose weight. My a1c went from 8 to 6.7. We're still working and I have no doubt I will be well below 6 in a few months.

Fred Bennett

If you’re looking for a direct physician-patient care WITHOUT the headaches of insurance and what’s covered and not covered and making multiple calls before you can see a doctor then Avicenna is for you! Dr.

Haseeb Siddique

I met with doctor Bilal earlier today. He did a great job listening to me as his new patient. He gave me ample time to describe and share information about my health. His approach is quite a pragmatic one focusing on what would make a difference for my health and quality of life without rushing into fixing the health issue by medications immediately.
