ED-180 of Long Island…one of a kind!

ED-180 programs utilize evidence-based methods, cutting-edge technology, unique program designs and unsurpassed facilities.  ED-180 offers medically-supervised programs and is staffed with experienced specialists who provided compassionate care.

ED-180 was developed by Board Certified psychiatrist Dr. Jeffrey DeSarbo and the NY Eating Disorder Medical Group and is the only private, physician-supervised treatment program on Long Island, NY offering intensive, outpatient care for eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other disordered eating behaviors. An eating disorder is first and foremost a medical/psychiatric condition and any safe and serious treatment approach begins with medical supervision and the management of a coordinated team effort toward patient recovery. 

The ED-180 Program Approach

The ED-180 program, located in Garden City, New York, is comprised of a dedicated team of physicians, therapists, nutritionists and other clinicians who recognized that there was a “missing-link” in eating disorder treatment. ED-180 was created to help fill the void of a shortage of effective programs for patients that needed additional services and/or a higher level of care for patients who struggle with eating disorders, self-esteem issues, mood disorders and related conditions.

Dr. DeSarbo’s philosophy has always been to develop a program that has the following attributes:

1)  An environment that promotes peace and tranquility with a feeling of safety and comfort.

2)  A treatment approach that is comprehensive and evidence-based, using a combination of proven techniques, cutting-edge methods.

3)  A multi-disciplinary staff of physicians, therapists, nutritionist and support staff that can fully integrate the medical/biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of patient care.

4)  A treatment team that is caring and compassionate and dedicated to remaining up-to-date on research and all the latest treatment advances.

5)  Individual therapy, groups, programs, excursions and courses that make an impact, create change, and are innovative and non-traumatic.

6)  A group program that can also be custom tailored to the individual’s needs.

7)  A program that places an emphasis on the inclusion, education and support of the family.
