Dr. Mark and his team have worked with my busy social life and crazy work calendar and have helped me to develop new habits that I can continue long after my goal is met. In one month, I've lost 10 pounds! My clothes fit better, I feel better and I know I can continue this as a new lifestyle, rather than a weight loss program.
Thank you Dr. Mark and staff! What seemed to be intimidating at first turned out to be a positive, life-changing experience. Although I was apprehensive to start, Dr. Mark and his team made the process extremely comfortable. I would encourage anyone to pick up the phone and make your first appointment.

The Best Place to Start Your New Lifestyle!
I've been on all kinds of diets before, including the type of plan Dr. Roberts puts you on. Life always got in the way, or the people administering the program really didn't seem to care. Well, I lost 90 lbs this time around and it was definitely the people who made the difference. The doctor and his staff at Weight Smart are not just compassionate. They understood my genuine desire to make this a priority and change my life for good. They also understood my fitness goals and helped me through a lot of "aha moments" as my body

These folks are awesome. They take time to listen to my needs. Dr Roberts is available any time and he has stated he would rather address as issue when it comes up than wait til my next appointment. He even answered the phone one day and scheduled me. The team that works here is down to earth and truly caring to see their patients achieve their goals.

Highly recommended! This is a doctor-supervised weight-loss program for those of us who want to do it the old-fashioned way and avoid the dangers of surgery. I have lost over 110 lbs so far. It probably would have been faster if I had more strictly followed the program, but my schedule makes that difficult. Still, I think this program has helped me change my eating habits for the future.
Dr. Roberts provides a recommended low-carb diet, a weekly vitamin booster (mostly B12) shot, appetite suppression medication and some metabolism booster supplements. The weekly weigh-ins give the accountability

This plan's pluses are it is run by a medical doctor, you eat real food and have full access to the physician. You receive blood work and ekg at start and weight loss can be attained and maintained if you follow the plan. It is great for a quick start to weight loss and to assist you in making real lifestyle changes. I lost 37 pounds in about 9 months and have kept them off for an additional 6 months. The short version of the plan's minuses is it is a very 1 dimensional plan and was not effective in getting me to my reasonable goal. The long version of the minuses - I had expected
