WeightSmart MD

These folks are awesome. They take time to listen to my needs. Dr Roberts is available any time and he has stated he would rather address as issue when it comes up than wait til my next appointment. He even answered the phone one day and scheduled me. The team that works here is down to earth and truly caring to see their patients achieve their goals.

Dr. Roberts and his staff are the best! They are very knowledgeable, professional and supportive.

Highly recommended! This is a doctor-​supervised weight-​loss program for those of us who want to do it the old-​fashioned way and avoid the dangers of surgery. I have lost over 110 lbs so far. It probably would have been faster if I had more strictly followed the program, but my schedule makes that difficult. Still, I think this program has helped me change my eating habits for the future.
Dr. Roberts provides a recommended low-​carb diet, a weekly vitamin booster (mostly B12) shot, appetite suppression medication and some metabolism booster supplements. The weekly weigh-​ins give the accountability many of us need. Dr. Roberts is friendly, kind and informative, but is honest and doesn’t mislead you into expecting miracles. He doesn’t rush you like many doctors and is happy to answer your questions.
His staff is great — I feel like I am visiting friends every time I visit. The ladies are always friendly and encouraging — even if I have had a «bad» week. They are wonderful at being professional and, at the same time, very personable.
For working folks, Dr. Roberts offers some evening hours. The location is easy to find — on 66^th Street just north of Central behind a Starbucks on the corner.

The girls with the Turkey shirts are the most caring, gentle, talented and funny women I’ve ever met! Dr. Roberts is a down to earth gentleman that I fully trust my health and weight loss with! I lost 70 lbs in 90 days and can’t thank everyone enough! Thank you for helping me be «me» again!!! If you don’t go here for your weight loss, you’re going to the wrong place!!!

This place is great. Dr Roberts is informative and has a great plan laid out. I continue to lose at about 1.5 to 2lbs a week. The ladies are great and I love going to the office. Got another 50 to go and I will be there.

This plan’s pluses are it is run by a medical doctor, you eat real food and have full access to the physician. You receive blood work and ekg at start and weight loss can be attained and maintained if you follow the plan. It is great for a quick start to weight loss and to assist you in making real lifestyle changes. I lost 37 pounds in about 9 months and have kept them off for an additional 6 months. The short version of the plan’s minuses is it is a very 1 dimensional plan and was not effective in getting me to my reasonable goal. The long version of the minuses — I had expected to lose more than 37 pounds in 9 months, as I was completely adherent to the plan and exercised faithfully a minimum of 4 times per week (strength training, interval and cardio) averaging 45 minutes a session. However, I hit a plateau and Dr. Roberts was not able to get me to move from it. Don’t know if it is my post menopause metabolism or what. It was not cheap, but I did lose the weight, have kept it off and lowered my blood pressure. Still pursuing a lifestyle that will get me from obese to normal body fat %. Dr. Roberts and his staff were professional and personable.

This is a review of a really honest weight loss center; and when dieting and exercise is not enough! So I have this problem: I like to eat after I am full. All the time. The worst foods for my body. And eating like this gives me zero energy so I sleep a lot. I decided to get help via a weight loss center, exercising an eating better. I have been a several (consultations only) and most were pretty sketchy if not scary except for Weight Smart.
Dr. Mark Roberts gave me a comp 25 minute (no one timed it but that is how long I was there with him) consultation and answered every single one of my questions. I wanted to know what he was going to make me take, what was included, cost, safety, and effectiveness.
His plan includes a diet plan (first week protein, every week after that fruit/​veggies/​protein until close to goal weight and then reintroduce delish carbs), MIC B12 shots (google it), and an appetite suppressant. The first visit also included prescription vitamins and a month’s supply of Calcium Pyruvate which is a fat burner. After that the vitamins are $ 20 a month and the Calcium Pyruvate is $ 20 or both for $ 35. Also you get blood work and ECG done on the first visit along with a Five– page Body Composition Analysis & Risk Assessment. Obviously your plan will be different from mine esp if you have health conditions.
Note about the shot: After the initial prick, it doesn’t hurt or remain sore!
Every visit after that you get a weeks supply of appetite suppressant, weigh in, doctor visit and injection. You can get B6 shots for $ 15 or 4/​$ 49. I don’ get those but for people significantly overweight this may be helpful in the beginning.
The initial visit as $ 179 (a special) and weekly visits $ 55 regardless of how strong the meds are. You can call any time since all the calls after hours are forwarded to his cell.
I personally lost 8 lbs my first week and have continued to lose. He has encouraged a total life change within me. I eat better, exercise, look better and have energy.
He does tell you up front that the only cure for weight loss is sensible eating and exercise. And by the end of the program you should be exercising 5x a week 45 minutes and eating healthy which does not mean boring. If you go back to taco bell everyday then duh the weight comes back. This is a great starting point to changing your lifestyle and getting healthy.
If anyone wants more info or wants to see how I am doing, PM me! I am not hungry so I don’t eat out of emotions/​boredom.
