I dont know what all hype is about with this place. They have better over the counter weight loss/ diet pills then what they give you here. I have picked up more than a few pounds over the last 4 years. I did the fast diets lost the weight and it came back 3xs more. For some reason I just cant do it on my own or get the courage to do it now. So I decided to try this place based on the reviews. I had high hopes for this place but a waste of $101. First, lets say this place is not welcoming. Meaning your not greeted when walk in and dont see anyone until you are called to the back over a P.A. system. So you wouldnt know what to do if some one already sitting there dont tell you. They call you in order and depending on what the person in front of you is there for you may have to wait longer for them to be finished. Secondly, when they do call you they make you go into a room where you fill out paperwork and all they do is take your weight and blood pressure. Didnt feel comfortable because how can they tell if a person is really healthy take the meds? Not just that the doctor wasnt even there it was supposedly the nurse practitioner but she didnt display and credentials. The room they keep the medication look like a make shift doctors lab. On to the medication.... Its a total of 4 pills you have to take daily. Each have a different benefit. One was a water pill that made me go to the bathroom (pee) the first few days but after that not really. Other was to control cravings and hungry, now that work but didnt care for the feeling in my head. I never felt this before, were you feel like theres something moving in your brain. Other pill was for energy...lets say I am the most energetic person youll ever meet. Even when Im sleepy Im still energetic but that pill did the opposite. Every time I took it in the morning I became very tired and sleepy. Mind you I was just wide a wake and energetic. Lastly, one pill was to help with belly fat (NO!). Also, one of them made it where at times it was hard to sleep at night. So, I took the meds for about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks and not really a big change. I did diet and exercise at least 3xs out of the week. No major change /drastic change I was looking for like the reviews was indicating. When I first started I weighed 191lbs and now down to 183lbs. My goal weight is a least 150lbs. What made it the final straw for me to stop taking the medication was after about the second week I wasnt have bowel movements. Most weight loss medication include some form to help with bowel weight but not this stuff, which was actually surprising. I felt that after cleaning up my eating and exercising that I would have lost a tad bit more than I did. I thought a few pounds was because of me not digesting the food like I sound have. So I stopped taking them and did a colon cleanser to get my digestive system back on track. The crazy part is that my coworker and I began the meds at the same time and she have the same symptoms and decided to continue the medication. She to have lost weight but nothing drastic like these reviews make it seem. Honestly, my person opinion before wasting your hard earn money is try to do your own research and do some thing naturally that works for you than popping pills....I feel like you really dont know what your putting in your system and dont know the long term effects it can have on your body.

Up until last week I would have definitely given this place 5 stars. I have been coming here for several years and the staff and doctor have always been wonderful however, my last visit I had who I believe was the nurse practitioner named Angela and she was not a pleasant person to say the least. She was rude and told me something completely different then what I had been told by the others in the past regarding my weight. I even mentioned to her what the others had said and it is documented on my card and she said it doesnt matter what they said because she is the one who makes the decision. The conversation went on for a few minutes until I decided she wasnt worth my breathe and getting myself worked up over. Very abrasive and rude person with no compassion From the minute she walked in the room. If this is who Dr. Greenspoon is leaving to run his practice I feel sorry for him because the way she treats people will end up ruining the practice he and his father worked so hard to build. Everyone else is absolutely phenomenal and always so upbeat and friendly I dont know how this one even fits in. If the office reads these reviews I would ask you to please look into her role within your company as I never would normally write something singling someone out like this however, I have been coming to your office for far to long to be treated the way she treated me and I have never left your office feeling the way I did. It has always been a very uplifting and pleasant experience. Thank you

Service is good. Price is a little expensive, considering one could get prescriptions written for all the meds administered and, by using their insurance,come out saving lots of money! Been on the program for a month, lost 8-10 pounds...have at least 40 more to lose. Process was sold to me as quick weight loss, yet it seems much slower. I'm OK with that actually, my body has a little more time to adjust to the loss and possibly retain the loss a lot longer than quick weight loss. So, overall I am pleased. The staff is friendly, the environment is nice & private. Give it a shot, it may be the answer to what you've been looking for.

I LOVE the doctor and his staff! I lost 30lbs with him back in 2003!!! Thats how long he has been going strong! Today I looked up the number because Im going in tomorrow to try to lose ALL 75lbs I need to lose! Wish me luck! Update: I restarted on 2/2016 and by 5/2016 I lost 49lbs! Of course Ive fell off again, gained back 60lbs!! So today 2/2017 Im headed back, but today, Im prepaying for 12 months!!! I always stop because of financial reasons. This doctor gives you the tools you need to lose it, Im sticking to it for sure this time.

Wish I could give a better review. Weight loss is important. The pills that dr greenspon ids able to give not only help with diet but with energy.HOWEVER, there is a major privacy deficit and how they handle issues. Good luck to those who continue with the prescriptions.

Ive gone on the busiest day (Saturdays) and still and be in an out in under an hour! Weightloss is what you make of it. Ive lost as much as 10lbs a month without dieting. The staff and doc had always been friendly! Worth every penny!
