Dr. Bilal Mannan, is a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in metabolic health and obesity medicine, devoted to administering quality care. With a unique focus on metabolic health and obesity medicine, Dr. Mannan is deeply passionate about prevention, nutrition and human metabolism, areas which he believes form the cornerstone of overall wellness.
Dr. Mannan obtained his MD from St. George's University. He then went on to complete his medical training and residency at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ Health System.
Upon the successful completion of his residency, Dr. Mannan embraced the role of a teaching hospitalist initially at Northwell Health System in New York and later transitioned to the Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
As an acute care physician, Dr. Mannan confronted the reality of chronic diseases and their detrimental impact due to poor metabolic health. Realizing the glaring gaps in nutrition and preventive medicine in the current medical curriculum, he committed himself to specialize in obesity medicine and human metabolism. This led him to gain an accreditation from the Society of Metabolic Health and American Board of Obesity Medicine.
In 2019, Dr. Mannan, along with his equally talented wife, Dr. Malik, pioneered Avicenna Direct Care. This Direct Primary Care practice brings to the fore preventive medicine through lifestyle modifications and interventions. Their unified goal is to empower patients to steer their health journey, leveraging personalized care and holistic approaches to drive overall wellness.
