I joined ModernWeigh to lose weight and am loving the results. I also signed up with one of the dietitians who provided me with a meal plan which made following her recommendations much easier. She even gave me a grocery list. Dr. Gene and the dietitian have really helped me lose weight and change my physical health. They are both very responsive and helped me a lot when I was adjusting to the medications. I feel so much lighter, have more energy and a lot less joint pain. At my age, I never thought this would be possible. I started in January and already down 5 pant sizes! I couldn't recommend Dr. Gene and his practice more!
Dr. Pershwitz so far has been very attentive and has listened to all of my concerns, and when prescriptions became challenging to acquire, he worked with me on finding alternatives that I could afford and researched a national shortage situation, keeping me on track. He checks in often and keeps tabs on me with his online platform that helps me maintain accountability and tracking of how I'm doing. Highly recommended.
