Thank you for the great service Olivera Health! The IV hydration treatment has improved my energy levels and my stress headaches have vanished. I didn’t think I would feel the effects this soon, but after 3 treatments I feel like a new person! Thank you!

I have lost 30lbs and still going! I appreciate the honest feedback. Losing weight is not easy, especially when you fall off the wagon. I have vented and cried in your office and you have always been patient and understanding.
The IV hydration therapy is also heaven sent. I highly recommend it to anyone who has has been feeling sluggish in this pandemic.

I lost weight via Olivera 5-6 years ago. I worked very hard and the script helped a lot. I stopped going there, but I eventually reached my goal weight and kept my weight stable at 145-150 for many years.
Unfortunately, I’ve gained over 40 pounds in 2 months, and I have been pretty desperate for some help. My father was diagnosed with cancer, my previous weight gain was from my mother’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent death. No, Eunice. It’s not holiday cravings… I wasn’t listened to at all. I actually was looking for some help and Olivera held a special place for me because my script

I have received the IV treatment at Olivera and felt rejuvenated and less stressed ! The staff is very professional and go beyond in making you feel comfortable in their relaxing treatment rooms. I highly recommend this treatment to boost your energy and help your immune system during this pandemic. Thank you for remaining open during this time .

Two weeks ago, I made an appointment for Saturday, October 23th at 9:00 am for my mom and myself to get the Mayers Cocktail, well today at 8:03 am when we were on our way, one of the assistants called me and told me that because my mom is over 75, she needs a letter from her doctor stating that it is ok for her to get this treatment...REALLY??
I took the day off from work to get this theray and take my mom there and ONE hour before they told me about this requirement??
Unacceptable and unprofessional!

I have been going to Olivera Health & Wellness for quite a few years - without exception, I have found every member of their offices to be kind, helpful, and concerned about your health. They carefully review your progress, listen to your comments, and respond accordingly. Exceptionally clean offices with stringent sanitizing of their space, the ease of getting appointments, both in-person and virtual, to accommodate your schedule has always been so welcome when you're trying to beat the work clock. I cannot say enough good things about Olivera Health & Wellness. They have really helped me, and

I was iffy about this place when I first started, I tried it and stopped cause my mindset was not there. when I finally got on board with changing my life style and habits. this place was great! the first 1/2 of the year the weight was coming off. As in everyone's life I had the stress, I had changed positions in work I had a few deaths in the family. so my weight had hit a wall. I had maintained it, the last time I went I was weighed in and instead of being understanding I was told that oh you will be taken off the medicine if I had no changes in my next visit. instead of trying to come up wit

I love this place.The wait is never long . I brought a friend with me and we both lost over 60 lbs in just 1year . I have a lot more energy. My kids can’t hardly keep up with me . This is awesome. If you want to lose weight and live a much healthier life then I recommend Arturo Olivera Weight loss’s Clinic

After researching several Chicago weight management centers, I happened to stroll into Olivera. I have to admit that I love this place! Everyone is super nice and welcoming. Madiha and Liz rock my face off! Unlike their competitors near the loop, this's place runs like a well oiled machine. I love that they open at 7, but that changes in January. :-(
I'm going every week for B-vitamin shots and the dreaded scale. 8 pounds gone in the first week!
Convenient location in the medical center on Halstead. Free parking in the attached deck if you drive, or the number 8 bus stops directly

I have been going to the weight clinic on and off for several years. There has been a large turnover of staff. Many were very helpful and were able to give good dietary advice. All of these people are no longer employed. Yesterday I met the rudest nurse practitioner I have ever met. She lied to me and had a person with her in training. What an example to teach new staff! Other staff are only able to take your blood pressure and pulse and have no education regarding weight loss. I am sorry to say I will never return.

This is a great place to go if you need help with your weight loss efforts. The staff is kind, caring, patient, compassionate, and supportive. I started going last month and have lost 12 pounds. The phentermine helps me so that I don't make the wrong choices for my meals during the month. While taking the pills I am finding that fast food and even chocolate are a turn off to me. I have been following a low fat diet along with the pills. The first month I didn't exercise very much because of my excessive poundage. This month I have started walking up and down the stairs at work instead

It is now 4/8/13~ I have lost an additional 5-7 lbs. For a total that is around 20lbs!!!! I feel great! But I have plateaued a little. I have been stressed finishing school, so I have not been exercising at all. The phentermine helps me keep my weight stable and gives me some energy at the start of my day. i will be graduating by May and will be working out more! Will continue to update. I should be going back to the doctor in a few weeks as well.

I went to Dr. olivera in 2006-07 and I dropped down from 263 to 223. I have kept the weight off now and will be going back to finish what I started. I also joined WW again to maintain and La Fitness. It is easy to gain weight back but I did my own plan, which helped me lose weight the way I needed to. It helped not taking the pills on weekends and learning to control my eating myself. This place is great and I'm going back on Thursday of next week!

I use to go to a doctor in Lansing IL for this same B12 shot and Phentermine a few years ago. There it was MUCH cheaper, it was only abouy $45, here at Dr. Olivera they charge $80 but $70 if you have the $10 coupon. I wont complain because #1 Dr. Olivera is much closer and #2 my old doctor stop selling Phentermine. I must say this diet DOES work!! I lost alot of weight BUT if you dont stick to a diet and/or exiercise and go back every month for follow up visits then that weight you lost will come back SUPER FAST!! I lost about 25 in a month but over 6 months gained that PLUS 60 more back!! Now
