MD Weight Management

The entire staff is extremely friendly and professional. I followed their advice and lost the weight easily. I would recommend this program to anyone that needs a jumpstart back to who they were. Healthy, Happy and proud of your accomplishments. I now have the tools to go on my own. Thanks to Md weight management's staff. Happy Holidays!

I know that a lot of people lose weight on this program. I'm not one of those people. This was my experience: 1. Administrative. Less than stellar. Lost my paperwork. Took forever to be accepted, onboarded to the program. Miscommunications were frequent. Lab results were a mess and took forever to complete. Sometimes the office manager as abrupt and unprofessional. My first meal replacement was incorrectly sent. I received eight boxes of Vanila powder. 2. Support is essentially worthless. It's hard to reach these people. They have weekly 'support' groups and the first one I attended was about weight loss drugs. Less about support and more of an info system. 3. Communication. The program has a ton of rules, information and processes you need to follow. The doctor throws all this at you the first time you meet. There is so much information it's essentially overwhelming. 4. The program itself is powder drinks for weeks till you lose the weight. This in and of itself seems no healthier than a 1960's Slim Fast plan. This plan is essentially 800 calories a day of powdered drinks. Much like preparing for colonoscopy. Transitioning from eating double burgers and fries with 9pm desserts to berry flavored powder drinks is quite the change and needs to be very hands on support. I did not find that support through all the red tape. At one point early in the diet I was lightheaded with my blood pressure racing. I sent a note to the doctor, and she replied that I should have called the emergency line. What emergency line....... Clearly this was one of the 147,000 items referenced quickly on my first call with the doctor or embedded in the manual they provide you. Which was not very clearly put together. In the end I reached out to to the doctor assigned to me and stated that this program was not going to work for me. She said, "I will let the staff know". I told this story to my husband and he was shooked at the response. He said, "you shold tell the doctor that she said that". I said to him......."I was talking to the doctor......". And that was my experience. My recommendation: if you need anything more than minor support on this abrupt transition from poor eating habits to a powder drink diet, this is not the place for you.
