Dr. Teresa Lantin began her career in medicine as a board certified General Pediatrician in the Westchester community. She started her residency training at New York Medical College / Westchester County Medical Center, Valhalla, NY for two years and completed it at Alfred I. DuPont Children’s Hospital and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Delaware and Pennsylvania respectively. She is married to Dr. Jose Lantin, a gastroenterologist in Westchester for almost 30 years. They are blessed with three children who are in the medical and finance industries.
When all her children had moved on to college and graduated, Dr. Lantin became more cognizant of the rise in obesity, the complications that surround it, and how it impacted the lives of those who lost their loved ones due to the co-morbidities associated with obesity. It was at that moment when Dr. Lantin felt the need to help find a solution to this epidemic. Dr. Teresa Lantin, together with the help of her husband and son, “Dr. Peter”, formulated Body Morph Medical Weight Loss Practice, which is geared towards addressing the global issues that pertain to obesity. Her mantra is to provide collaborative care to those who want to lose weight which encompasses the immediate solution to obesity and the maintenance of one’s weight once weight loss is achieved. Better yet, because she recognizes the value of time, all her services are non-surgical, with minimal or no down time, and without the use of pills which often only provide temporary gratification of weight loss. Dr. Lantin enjoys golf, tennis, reading, the beach, dining out with her husband, and visiting Boston (not in necessary order).
