MD Weight Loss Institute

Our results have been beyond my expectations. On January 21, 2019, we were happy to see a patient who lost 23.8 lbs. in one week! At this rate, we may put the Bariatric stomach surgeons out of business!! Our best patients have lost 130 lbs. with appetite suppressants and diet modification. Another patient has lost 240 lbs. with above and stomach sleeve surgery. This patient says that “If Dr. Bajaj asks me to jump, I say how high”. He is now enjoying ballroom dancing.

You are welcome to come and see if our program works for you. Patients are losing weight and feel energized and healthy at the same time.

Reviews:

Review from Kanky Lora: At the end of last year I went to Dr. Bajaj for a checkup. At that time I weighed 322 pounds and really did not follow through with any of his recommendations or advise. But then a few months ago, I came to see the Dr. again, suffering from all kinds of health issues. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver problems, on the verge of being diabetic, and suffering from horribly painful cramps in my arms and legs, not to mention still being very much over weight. Other doctors would have just prescribed me with a variety of medications to treat all my symptoms and health problems, but Dr. Bajaj talked to me and helped me understand that by making a life style changes, everything could be reversed naturally. We had a few conversations about my poor eating habits and discovered that because of my stressful and busy life, I was using food as my anti-depressant. I am so grateful to Dr. Bajaj to help me see my health and diet in a different way. 2 months ago I started my weight loss/life style change treatment, and as of today I’ve lost a total of 53 pounds in 2 months and am feeling amazing. I can’t thank Dr. Bajaj enough for all his help, direction, and caring guidance in helping me reach a happier and healthier life. To all those that are struggling with weight gain, please remember that it takes a lot of hard work to reach your goal. Phentermine is a great aid and has definitely helped with suppressing my appetite, but it’s not a miracle pill. You can’t keep the same poor eating habits and expect the same results while taking phentermine. Also working out is a huge part of weight loss success and with Dr. Bajaj's directions, I have changed my diet and made the gym an important part of my life.

Additional news from Kanky Lora: Happy New Year doctor I just want to thank you again for all the help. I've reached a total weight loss of 86 pounds so far, and I'm feeling great. I have lost 86 pounds in the last 6 months but I've lost a total of 122 pounds this year

Barbara Heavrin: He is an excellent doctor. You will love him. He will work with you. He is great.

Susan Fletcher: This is my dad/mom’s doctor. He is amazing.

For those without Insurance:

$150 for the first visit, then $125 every subsequent visit. Includes Medical Evaluation, History and Physical, calculation of BMI, extended counseling for diet and exercise modification with handouts, free appetite suppressant and B12 injections for one month (certain restrictions apply). For self-pay patients, this is very reasonably priced. You would pay more to see a nurse at CVS or Walgreens pharmacies.

For those with insurance, we do bill insurance companies. Most insurance companies do pay and this reduces your cost. If your insurance company pays, we return to you what you paid for that office visit.
