It has been 8 months since I started seeing Dr. Alobeid and his amazing staff, since day one I knew I was thankful to have found his practice. I've seen "weight loss" doctors in the past but none who cared about my personal needs until finding him. In the past 8 months I have received the information, tools, and support I needed to turn my health around!
I have lost 23 pounds of FAT (which is a lot when you're barely 5ft tall), I have cleaned up my entire lifestyle, and I have.

This Doctor gets it! Dr. Alobeid understands the root cause of most of our health issues is our weight. He addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. 40 lbs in 7 months with 20 more to go and I feel great. Personal, motivating and funny with a knowledgeable staff, Dr. Alobeid cares about your health and not feeding the Big Pharma/Big Medical industry. The best part is, he keeps cutting my diabetes meds because, with the weight loss, they are no longer needed. Type 2 diabetes is curable and Dr. Alobeid knows the secret!

Dr. Alobeid is an excellent physician. I have been struggling with obesity all my life and after turning 50 weight loss began more challenging than ever. I stopped trying initially because nothing was working. After 18 months with COVID and COVID pounds I knew I had to find the right Physician. I was committed to find the right doctor this could not be my fate.
EXPERIENCE WITH DR. ALOBEID:
Two months with Dr. Alobeid and his team my body is healing and I have lost 15 pounds. Lung function improved, inflammation gone from all parts of body, blood pressure normal, joint pain gone, and other non

I am very excited about my experience with Dr Alobeid. He is very caring and concerned about helping me achieve my goals and is very informative and educational about what my tests mean and how I can further help myself achieve the goals I desire. He has done tests no other Dr has ever done before which has given me great insight as to the direction I need to go and i saw immediate results. He explains things well and is honest about the reality of where you are in relation to where you want to be with your body. I am very happy so far and will continue to see him. He is a specialist that has made

I Love the staff at this office so Caring and Professional. I had been having a hard time loosing weight and it was affecting my health. Well i came to see Dr. Alobeid in 3/30/21. Since then i have lost almost 30 pounds and down 3 pants sizes! My health has also improved. My blood pressure is lower and my A1C is lower. I was taught what to eat and how important exercise is to help with weight lose. I have not felt this good about myself in Decades! THANK YOU DR.ALOBEID!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL DOCTOR.

This is just a heads up the website isn't synchronization with the in-house appointment system .I scheduled an appointment 2 or 3 weeks ago and I was told I have to wait 2 months to see the doctor . Because he isn't seeing new patient until then . If I would have taken the time to call and verify I would just have one month to go to start my weight loss journey now I have to wait 2 . So please don't use their online scheduling system and if you already have call to get an actual appointment. The front desk was very kind and I was scheduled a new appointment lesson learned .I will give five stars

I haven't lost much weight, no more than 10lbs. I have been going here since 2/2021. I have taken the medication regiment daily. Now I have called almost daily for a week. I can't get anyone on the phone or refills. I think the only reason I've been holding on is I'm afraid if I quit, I'll gain more weight... but I guess that's up to me. I have decided to be done today.

After following my previous primary care physicians recommendations of dieting and counting calories to combat my continuous weight gain, for nearly 10 years, with no positive results, my wife suggested I make an appointment with Dr. Alobeid. I followed her suggestion and made that appointment. Dr. Alobeid gave me a proper diagnosis and treatment. Well that was December of 2020. Since then I have lost over 50 pounds, and continue to see positive results week after week. Dr. Alobeid always provides clear explanations, he's caring, and takes the necessary time to answer your questions and address

I found Dr. Alobeid through careful research and im glad I did. There is a reason you go to a 'specialist' and he is top of his profession. He is knowledgable, caring, but also takes the minute to educate you as well ..on the WHYS , WHATS & HOWS. He answers any questions you have without rush, and he will answer them truthfully...so be preprared. Alot of us dont want to hear that, but because I did, I am losing not only weight , but worry. About my health.. THANKS Dr. Alobeid
