Allergy and Weight Loss Center

Love Dr. N. Bhat and Anita Bhat (his daughter). I have been going to Dr. Bhat since the end of April and have lost a total of 55 lbs. I have picked up a couple of lbs because of the holiday cheer but still on the road to losing the remainder of my 45 lbs. The program is easy to follow once you get over the two week detox of sugar and any other junk you had been consuming before. I have learned so much about my body, how hormones and sleep apnea affect your weight and just bad behaviors that tend to make you consume more than you should. I have never felt better and continue to stay on the path for continued success and optimal health. If you want to lose weight, and learn how to keep it off, Allergy and Weight Loss Center is the place to be. Great staff and schedules are very accommodating.

Want to lose weight? This is the place to lose that pooch. Don’t starve — eat smart.
Wow, ok so it’s been 2 months and I am down 2 sizes.
Dr Bhat’s Fantastic combination of metformin, weightloss pills and eating advise will get you to your goal. Do

The Bhat’s are amazing. Dr. Anita is their daughter, I see her upstairs for endocrinology. Dr. Naras and his wife run the allergy and weight loss clinic down stairs, and they are equally great. Dr. Naras conducts sleep studies to see if weight issues are related to poor oxygen intake and sleep. They also have a line of pretty tasty diet drinks, bars and supplements. The entire Bhat family looks at you as a whole, not a single symptom, and they take care of you as an individual.

What a wonderful find right here in Concord!!! Not only did Dr Bhat solve some very difficult health problems for me — he actually listened to me about all the things I have already tried in regard to these problems. Dr. Bhat has been knowledgable, intuitive, and reliable. I am truly thankful to he and his staff and would recommend them to anyone who wants answers and problems solved!!!

I’ve been coming here on and off for a couple years. Dr. Bhat is very through. While in today he ordered blood work to make sure I’m healthy all the way around. He checked with me to see if I had insurance and wasn’t trying to order unnecessary things. I appreciated that he is looking into things my primary care doctor wasn’t.
I highly recommend this office. Daisy at the front desk is knowledgable and helpful. I feel Dr. Bhat has his patients best interests in mind and I appreciate that.

I am a Kaiser patient but wanted to see Dr Bhat for weight loss because no matter what I did I could not lose weight. Upon examination he noticed most all my weight was around the middle… and indication of insulin resistance. and the reason I could not lose weight. He advised I begin taking metformin even though I am only pre diabetic in lab numbers. I asked my Kaiser Dr why I was not on this drug even though my glucose was rising for the past 8 years. She said that Kaiser waits until you are diabetic to put you on that med. Dr Bhat daughters are endocrinologists and they have been treating people with my glucose level very successfully for years in the belief that the earlier you take it you will not become diabetic. So I went online and researched this being concerned about taking any medication and I found that it is well documented in all kinds of respected medical journals that early use of metformin has only positive impact on not only your prediabetes but it been found to actually help prevent a number of different cancers without almost any side effects. I began taking the prescription through Dr. Bhat even though my doctor refused to give it to me. I have been taking it for 2 months and I have never felt better. I used to get low sugar blood drops but didn’t know it and thought I was hungry alot. I now find that I no longer have cravings for something sweet which I realize now my body wanting to get my sugar normalized, and I don’t get so starving. He advised me to have a protein drink when I get up in the morning and I find it really boosts my energy and I don’t get hungry till almost lunch time. When I told my Kaiser Dr how well I was doing on it she told me she couldn’t give it to me although she agreed that it is known to be very beneficial because Kaiser does not do anything but follow guidelines without looking at individual patient needs. So I have nothing but great things to say about these doctors. I have never waited in the office for more than 5 minutes nor sat in the exam room for more than 5 minutes. I also like the fact that although they give all kinds of shots and have nutrition drinks and foods, etc no one has ever tried to push or sell anything to me. I believe that my health and my life have now improved significantly, and if I had not seen these doctors I believe I would have surely developed full-​blown diabetes within the next few years. I am blown away that all he had to do was look at me and see my weight distribution and knew what I needed to do to rid myself of dangerous interstitial fat. If there were 10 stars I would give them that.

Bought a living social deal but can’t get a call back to make an appointment. Had to ask for a refund :(

I have lost 42 pounds after following Dr bhat program. I haven’t taken any diet pill, i strictly followed his diet regimen along with fish oil. He is a great teacher and mentor, he always explains new science about weight loss and also encouraged me to be fit. It took me 6 months to get in to shape. Now i am happy and trying to maintain the same weight. Thanks Dr bhat and i recommend his program to others also.

If you are unhappy with this physician, check out Absolutely Thin. Affordable and no monthly visits. :)

I started soming here in February. I have lost 35lbs my goal is 40lbs so Iam almost there and these last few are a bugger to loose. Not only is the staff always friendly but you meet with the doctor everytime and they will answer any questions and make get suggestions. Not only have I lost weight but I have brought my A1C down so much I am almost diabetes free and they have helped with my migraines. Being a vegetarian I have also been encouraged to find my protine alternatives and vegan fish oils, that was/​is outstanding most doctors have no clue.
Its worth it!

the only reason his score is low overall is he had a bad receptionist once and insurance/​cost issues. The reason he is a five for me, is in the things that matter; he was awesome!
I have had an issue with my stomach for three years, and have been to two other doctors — none of them could come up with any solutions. Dr. Bhat went through a thorough triage of my medical history and quickly got to the root of the problem. He ordered a test to be done, and the test was conclusive that I needed surgery for the problem. Not only did he take care of my main condition, but he gave me a sleep test and an allergy test to make sure that other things weren’t effecting my overaell health. I only had to use my $ 40 co-​pay for all the services.

I love going to see Dr. Bhat. He has given me very good advice not only about weight loss but helped me with my allergies and migraines. His wife also works in the office, she is a Physicians Assistant, and she is just as good and has helped me with my back problems while I have been going there for weight loss. They remind me of the kind of doctors you would see in the «old» days who would help you with any health issues, not just send you off to someone else. I also enjoy talking to all the office staff that I have gotten to know over the months. I have never seen anyone put on hold so they could conduct personal business. Note that the person who said that blood was drawn in the office is very mistaken. We have always been sent to an outside lab for any kind of blood test, it was never done in the office. I wish Dr. Bhat could be my regular doctor.

La primera vez que llegué con Dr. Bhat, tenia una alergia espantosa y todo mi cuerpo cubierto de inmensas ronchas… era desesperante.
Una semana antes, yo habia estado 3 veces en emergencia y mi doctor de cabecera se dió por rendido, pues nadie entendia la causa de mi alergia espeluznante. Dr. Bhat sabiamente me atendió y rapidamente después de unos días pude salir de la pesadilla en la que estaba viviendo. Luego Dr Bhat practicó unas pruebas para dar realmente con el motivo de mis alergias, el resultado fue sorprendente! Despues de 38 años de consumir leche de vaca y maní, era absolutamente alergica a ellos! Los cuales me causaron muchos transtornos desde mi niñez, hasta cuando fui adulta; ahora que relaciono todo.
Estoy inmensamente agradecida con Dr. Bhat, él salvó mi vida, ahora me siento otra persona, he dejado de consumir los alimentos que me producian incluso asma, no he tomado ningún medicamente desde hace 6 meses y realmente me siento de maravilla!
Yo recomiendo al Dr Bhat con los ojos cerrados, aparte de su profundo conocimiento, él es muy amable y paciente y puede atender pacientes en inglés y español lo cual lo hace aún mas valioso para nuestra comunidad.
Muchas gracias Dr. Bhat!

Been going here about 8 weeks. I have lost 12 pounds. Anyway I am a cash paying customer and I did the prepay special, which was 100.00 a month, which included 2 lipo shots and a month supply of phentermine. Today when I went I was informed that the prepay is no longer available. You have to go every 2 weeks and pay about 50.00 more per month for same thing… Not happy about that, think I will look for a more affordable option…

This is the place to go to get help with your allergies and lose weight. I have know Dr. Bhat for years and he is one of the most compassionate doctors around. You will get the time and full effort of the doctor and staff. I recommend this business highly!

I have been visiting with Dr. Bhat for almost two years. Dr. Bhat bridges the gap between nutrition and medicine, making himself and his practice a unique benefit to the community. For anyone wanting to lose weight, deal with chronic disease and feel better about their health, Dr. Bhat is a terrific resource to help you reach your health potential. Additionally, I have read some of Dr. Bhat’s books where he shares his study and knowledge of various cultures and their approach to health and wellness. He has committed his life to medicine and has a passion for teaching others as well as learning from others.

The doctor is super nice and has a great program, but if you come in to see him the receptionists are really bad talking about personal lives, on their cell phones and placing other patients on hold while talking to friends and spouses on the other line

I am writing this review as a student intern because I have seen some dramatic weight loss success stories in the past few months of interning at the clinic. I remember this male patient in particular who made quite an impression on my mind because he had lost 86 pounds in 6 months and was still going steady.
Some things that I really liked about Dr. Bhat were that he was very experienced and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. He has a board certification in Bariatrics (medicine of weight loss), which means he’s a licensed professional in this field, and that takes away some skepticism. Also, he has great doctor-​patient interaction and emphasizes on patient education a lot.
The treatment plan includes balancing meals, counting steps, diet pill prescription (optional, which raises your basal metabolic rate), lipo shots (optional, which helps the liver in mobilizing stored fat).
He teaches patients how to balance their meals with proteins and omega-​3, diagnoses whether they are weight loss resistant, instructs how to prevent carbohydrate craving and night eating syndrome, and holds tele-​seminars regularly to update his patients on current knowledge.
All in all from what I’ve seen, the program is a very healthy and medically sound approach to losing weight.
P. S. If you have allergies and sleep problems, he is able to the draw the connection to weight gain because he also practices Internal Medicine and specializes in Allergy, Bariatrics and Sleep Medicine. So he treats you comprehensively. You’ll be amazed by how much he knows!!!
