We are medical weight loss doctors with a passion for healthy living. We understand what it takes to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle and have extensive experience helping people achieve weight loss success. Dr. Robert Ziltzer has been practicing medicine in Scottsdale for over 20 years. He is board certified in Obesity Medicine.

Initial consultation with a medical weight loss specialist including a full physical examination and medical history review. Labs: Comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count, lipid panel, TSH, HgA1c, uric acid, and EKG.
Choose from our quick & delicious meal replacement options, or design a doctor-approved meal plan with healthy foods you love. Never go hungry for weight loss again! Replaces your current diet with OPTIFAST meal replacement shakes, soups and bars to control calories and portion sizes. Patients typically lose 10-12 pounds in the first month, and continue to lose 10 pounds each month after until they reach their weight loss goal.
As a patient, you get unlimited access to lifestyle & nutrition classes taught by behavioral psychologists, dieticians, and certified trainers. I am confident I can keep the weight off because I will have ongoing classes I can attend to keep my focus, I know I have somewhere to go if I gain a few pounds, and I will always have a fallback plan.
No matter your weight loss goal, we have a class that will help you achieve lasting results.

I am a fan of Scottsdale Weight Loss Center- in Scottsdale! I have been associated with them for the last 4+ years, and they are so gracious and caring. It's a process and modification to lose weight, and I really feel empowered by the staff and doctors who support my journey at my pace and who do not judge if I take a wrong turn now and again! I am grateful I found a place that is proactive in helping me feel and look great and focus on better health and disease prevention.

I lost 107 pounds with the help of Dr. Craig Primack, and SWLC. They are amazing. They take the time to interview you at the beginning to get to the root of the issue. You will have professional medical attention, and a positive level of accountability. It is science. They have written an amazing book called Chasing Diets, that you should read, I have referred at least a half a dozen people over to SWLC, and they have all gotten good results. This has literally changed my life, I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago. Total new lease on life.

Dr Craig Primack is wonderful, I trust him and he really honestly cares about each one of his patient’s. He knows EVERYTHING about anything pertaining to diet and weight loss and wants to help everyone just get healthy. That is really what happens when you lose weight, you get healthier. Your blood pressure goes down, your cholesterol, etc and you feel better.
Instead of trying to lose weight on your own again, forget it, make an appointment with Dr Primack, you will feel so good after just talking to him and the tools he gives you and all the support you will receive (classes) makes all the

Today I am thankful for loosing 60 lbs. I started on Dec 16, 2020 before the holidays. I gave up a lot of what I loved at the time, but I haven't looked back. This was the BIGGEST journey I have ever taken. I… started at 200 lbs. For those that don't know me in-person I am 5'2", so 200 lbs is a lot for a vertically challenged person. My journey is not over yet. I am hoping to lose an additional 5 lbs and then learn to maintain my weight from there. Obesity is a disease that you live with for life (like any other disease) and should be treated with the same importance. As well as watching

So thankful for accepting the help of Scottsdale weight loss center to help me on my lifestyle changes. As a 30+ year dieter and registered nurse, I am astounded at the abundance of knowledge and information shared by Dr Ziltzer and team. This journey will not be easy but it’s absolutely attainable as the goal is clear. Knowledge is power.

The place has slid into chaos. Staff barely go through the motions to provide services contracted for and owners allow the staff to run the show. Drama queens without any patient service training or oversight. Can't get meds, replacement food, tips on why it's not working and barely even recognize you're there. No explanation or checking in how plan is working out for patient, making necessary adjustments. Staff are checked out. It's all about them. Uncaring about the people in their practice. I'm making a Board complaint. They don't wear protective masks, don't prescribe meds when needed and scheduled

In 11 days I have lost 22 lbs. I shut my mouth and followed the program. I go to the gym every day, watch the videos, attend the weekly meetings and study their book "Chasing Diets". My Physician, Dr Robert Ziltzer is an athlete and has a background working with diabetes. My blood sugar is down 50% to 100 fasting and I now take half the diabetes medicine.

" I go to the Center at the Biltmore. Everyone is kind and sympathetic. Given the pandemic, I am not traveling or eating in restaurants- this is a perfect time to concentrate on my health. I am losing weight consistently but not too quickly to be healthy. I am not hungry, not feeling "deprived" in any way. Very impressed. "

I can't stop telling people about the program that actually really really works and doesn't torture you. I cannot say enough. Four inches off my waist and dropping and I haven't been hungry or miserable once. I am on the food only plan. Don't think I personally could do supplements since I don't care for sweets. However the food only program has done it

I enrolled in Scottsdale weight loss center approx. 30 weeks ago, and have lost 30 pounds. What I am most proud of is I reduced my use of Lantus Insulin from 110 units daily down to 25 units each day. My A1C level went down from 7.0 to 6.1 Dr. De Guzman and I have a new goal of getting completely off of insulin in the next 90 days!

I love SWLC!! I see Dr. de Guzman and he is awesome. Always has positive things to say to me at my visits. The Medical Assistants (Brooke and Melissa for me primarily) have all been wonderful. I originally set up a Consult with Angela, who is such a kind-hearted person and took the time to listen and understand what I needed to be successful. Everyone is always friendly and helpful in any way they can be! Can't wait to meet more weightloss goals with this team!

I can't believe that this clinic doesn't have any reviews yet!
Though the program isn't inexpensive, you really do get a good value for your money here. They really focus on the "whys" and teach you how to lose weight in a healthy way and change bad habits. All of the classes they offer have a really supportive atmosphere too, which was huge for me.
Everyone in the clinic is so kind and supportive too- huge bonus! I'm sad to see Melissa go, but I'm confident that the new MA will be just as wonderful. Doctor De Guzman is great and always helpful with any questions
