★☆☆☆☆— Ashley Anderson
I went in for my first consultation, i am not familiar with their services but was referred by a trusted family member and i wanted to know if this would work for me. The receptionist was nice the ladies welcomed me in just fine. But when I got back to the Nurse practitioner the whole vibe changed. She was not welcoming and not helpful at all. Just asked health questions and immediately wanted me to make a purchase. She did NOT want to properly educate me, nor give guidance to help make a decision on what was right for me. Once I hesitated, because i wasn’t sure what method was best, she said she’s done here and I should read the info on my own and come back. Trust me I will not be back. Thanks for nothing! 😊
★★★★★— Kenya Brown
It works, you have to be consistent and disciplined with "WHAT" you eat, it really helps with your appetite. I barely have one, but you can't just eat anything. You need to be active, start off with walking. The medication is a shock to your body, you will lose water weight first, but the more active you get the more results you will have.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER
IT WORKS!!!!!.......
★☆☆☆☆— tarina banks
Don’t even deserve one star. If you trying to gain 30-40 lbs this is the place for you. A waste of money. Instead of helping to lose weight pills blew me up. Still working out and on the process of getting it back down. This was a ripoff. And the lady was so rude because I didn’t have access to my old email. Maybe you can’t used a new email and sign up as a new customer because the new customer gets help with weight loss to lure them in and create new business. Returning customers only gain to keep you spending money and keep you coming back. Beware it wasn’t years since my visit I was there a few weeks before I sent this review. You gave me some bull like I’m stupid enough to keep coming back for more weight gain. FYI was not born yesterday
★★★★★— Alice Alexander
I have 5 stars because the nurses are very friendly. They work to get you in and out. The facility is clean and organized. The only problem I have is I don’t care for the nurse partitioner J. Shaffer. As long as I’ve being going there she has a nasty disposition. At my last visit I left without any treatment because of her rudeness. I get the vibe it’s a job she don’t like.
