I love my visits with the office. I actually look forward to going each week. Whether I am there for skin care or weight loss the experience is always pleasant. Office staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Julie always has time for me for questions and helps me to decide what is best for my needs. With their help I have lost over 50 lbs and feel this time it will stay off.

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like I was dealing with family. Everyone is so happy to see me. I have had much success and I cannot think Garcia Weight Loss each and every person that works at the office treats me as if I am family. We talk about what's going on in my life as well as theirs. I truly believe they care about me and they really want me to reach my goals. If you have ever felt like you had some weight you wanted to get off that was impossible, it is possible and all you need to do is take that first step by opening the door of the office and stepping up to the desk and say, you would like some help losing some weight. I walked in weighing 360 lb and I was able to lose 87 lbs in 90 days. After that the weight came off a little slower then approximately one pound a day but I continue to lose weight until I reach 203. I love pizza and I love Mexican food and I was able to do it and if I can do it, you can do it. Just take the chance.

I love this program! I was struggling with depression for about 2 years that led to weight gain. This approach is more than just a diet - it’s a holistic approach to lowering your weight - mind, body and spirit. By tackling it this way - a lifestyle change -, you are working on the underlying issues and learn what a good foundation for healthy eating is. All of this allows you to keep the weight off once you are no longer on the diet. Only thing is the diet pills take a day or two to adjust to - nothing terrible. The nurses and staff are amazing- I truly don’t have enough kind words to say about them. I honestly look forward to going to the office because they are always so motivating and positive. If you are in need of a change, need to lose some lbs, or just want to focus on your overall health - there’s no where else I would say to go! **They also have other services like Botox/filler, hormone treatment, skin treatments - I have not personally visited the office for anything other than the weight loss program, but I have seen others results and they appeared to be amazing as well.

The whole staff is very nice. I've been going since May, 2017 and have never encountered anyone that has not been extremely helpful. Finally a place that really teaches you what to eat and how to eat and how to maintain your weight once you've reached your goal. This gives you lifetime information that you can eventually handle any weight issues on your own. Very grateful to all the staff for their help. I would definitely recommend that you go for a consultation and see for yourself!

Questions & Answers

Does the Garcia Weight Loss plan require I buy packaged foods?

Jeffrey Henry | Aug 31, 2019
Jeffrey Henry | Aug 31, 2019

Absolutely not! They build you a diet specific to your needs using real foods you buy at the supermarket. In my opinion eating packed foods is not a sustainable way to lose weight. At some point you will have to return to regular supermarket foods.

Garcia Weight Loss & Aesthetic Centers | Aug 31, 2019

Our Physician actually does not need a physical exam to diagnose and treat many minor acute urgent care conditions. A thorough history is considered “90% of the evaluation” when coupled with the physician/patient interaction. How patients feel, in most cases, can be just as important clinically as the results of a physical exam. Plus, observing your symptoms through online video and any picture uploads gives our Physician the additional visual information needed to diagnose a majority of acute common illnesses.

Many of our Vivaliti plans include the use of appetite suppressants. However, we do have plans that do not utilize medications, such as for those patients who are nursing, or have other health history that would counter-indicate their use. We only use FDA-approved appetite suppressants because of their long-term safety and efficacy. Our appetite suppressants are recommended by the National Institute for Health. The combination of phen/fen is not used and has been taken off the market.
