Testimonials
What our Patients have to say:
“If you are tired of people not listening or understanding your weight problems please stop and go to the only Dr that listens and gives you the options you need to lose the weight. He and his staff are understanding and helpful with your weight management and never never never think you are doing anything wrong the help you make it right”
In my job, I patrol the Florida Turnpike and end up sitting in my car and cruiser for more than 12 hours a day! When I first met Dr. Lipman I weighed more than 250 lbs. I lost 20 lbs over the first 3 or 4 weeks on Dr. Lipman’s plan.
I was 304 pounds and unhealthy. I had shortness of breath and fatigue, sweating at the littlest of tasks. Dr. Lipman showed me the best food choices. Most important he showed me numerous snacks that made me feel full. I signed up to lose 50 lbs in 6 months and lost over 100 lbs – and this was without exercise at all!
Dr. Lipman offers Zoom consultations, which has been such a game-changer. The convenience of being able to connect from home made it easy to stay consistent and removed so many of the usual excuses that can get in the way of progress. When I first started my weight loss journey, I was at 175 lbs. Today, I am just about to reach my goal of 130 lbs!
Dr. Lipman is highly professional, and thorough during visit. He takes the time necessary to explain your weight loss plan and what to expect as a patient. I have lost weight and most importantly kept it off, thanks to Dr Lipman. His staff is always ready to help and friendly. I am grateful to have been under his care.
