    I absolutely love this Doctor!!!!! She is attentive and the great thing about her is her listen to…read morewhat you say and tru to find the problem!!

    Considering starting a commercial weight loss program?! You know the ones: WW, SOTA, MEDIFAST,…read moreJenny Craig, Nutrisystem, etc ... Do yourself a favor. Instead of spending a considerable fortune on those programs. Make an appointment with Dr. Anamekwe and talk to her about what she teaches. Once you discover that your insurance provider will cover the Obesity Prevention/Weight Loss Counseling Program. You will save yourself much of the money you would've spent on the commercial programs and be left with only your regular insurance copay. Vivify Wellness Center does offer shake mixes & bars but these are simply optional tools to help you on the way to your goal weight! It's not mandatory that you purchase the shakes/bars. They're an option if you want to. Seriously, I almost feel like I'm cheating when I think of the money I'm saving by working with Dr. Anamekwe versus the commercial weight loss programs. Believe me, I've about tried them all. That's exactly what it is too, you work together with Dr Anamekwe as she coaches you to a new way of eating. She'll tell you on your first visit, "Where you are is not your fault! This is what society has taught you and so many others with advertising etc." Vivify Wellness Center has been such a blessing to my life! Better yet, Dr. Anamekwe and the program that she has constructed has been such an answer to the adjustments I needed to make for my overall health. When I started this healthy lifestyle I weighed 444 lbs at 44 yrs of age I could only see one path and that was a downward spiral. I had new physical side effects presenting themselves for the first time of my life and I knew I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. Dr. Anamekwe has opened my eyes to a sustainable lifestyle that is leading to my ultimate health goals. It is a relatively simple mindset that has been shrouded so long by our society's advertising and merchandising of empty calories and SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR. I grew up in the 80's so all I knew was sugar, sugar, sugar intake. From surprise toys in sugary cereals to promotion of sugary, sugary sodas. Fast Food 'Happy Meals' and all that. My childhood was littered with false advertisement of a eating lifestyle that will lead to ... I hate to say it but ... death ... Dr. Anamekwe teaches the detriment of insulin resistance. Anyone who has reached obesity has built up insulin resistance. Thanks to Dr. Anamekwe's program I have learned that the first step to successful weight loss is reversing the damage that insulin resistance has caused. Her program introduces a new clean way of eating. I don't call this a diet because it is not. Let's face it too, the moment I think 'diet' I've already all but given up at that point. This is a new way of eating that eliminates unnecessary sugars (including most sugar substitutes except Stevia because it's natural) and most carbs and introduces a more natural way of eating which includes high protein, moderate level of fat, low carb, and low sugar. I know what you may be thinking ... "gosh, I could never do this ... clean eating ... no way" I'm hear to tell you that if I can, you can. As I mentioned, I had already tried all of the commercial weight loss programs out there (WW, Medifast, etc) I also tried Keto and Atkins. I would lose 40 or 50 lbs but then gain it all back and more. Dr. Anamekwe said something during my visit today that really resonated with me. She said, "This program should be the last one you try because it works and you can stay with it." I'm here to tell you it has not been very hard. It just requires determination and following her directives. Before you know it you've developed a new pattern and it becomes your new way. With your new commitment to a cleaner eating lifestyle and moderate physical activity Dr. Anamekwe is more than willing to aid you in your new healthy weight goal. Whether that just entails healthier eating or a prescription to aid in appetite suppressant or the more effective processing of sugars internally. With your initial proven commitment Dr. Anamekwe will introduce aid to help you in your journey. This aid is both instructional and medical intervention. Dr. Anamekwe has offered such great counseling in my regular appointments. This counseling along with my adherence to the program and determination is leading to my success. At first I would think "dang, I need to lose close to 200 lbs! I will never be able to do that!" Well, here I am only 4 months into the program and I've lost over 70 lbs! 100 lbs lost is so within my sights I can practically taste it (no pun intended, haha). After 100 lbs lost I'll be on the downward slope! Now that I'm 4 months into the program this is just the way I eat now. It's not a burden. I don't feel that I'm deprived or anything. Dr. Anamekwe has helped me open my eyes. She is not only my doctor but a companion in this journey to a healthier lifestyle. This program has literally saved my life! Thank you, Dr. Anamekwe, you are the best!

    I'm only giving Dr. Anamekwe 5 stars because yelp doesn't allow us to give more. She is a total…read morerock star. What sets her apart? She cares for her patients as people. She's not afraid to speak bluntly and honestly and that's because she cares. She understands that people have placed their trust in her and she takes that personally. And when the patient succeeds, she's the first to be excited and celebrate with that patient. It's a level of care that I have never seen with other physicians.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kene Anamekwe! I…read moremoved to Wylie from Odessa in 2018. I had a wonderful Internist in Odessa that I really did not want to lose. I am a cancer survivor and have other health concerns so a GOOD doctor that I can talk to and who will address all my concerns - no matter how small - is a must for me. I tried going back to Odessa every few months but when some issues with my blood came up, my doctor felt like it was time for me to find an Internist in this area to be more closely monitored, so I began my search. I got some recommendations from my Hematologist - four or five names. I called several at random because I did not really know anything about any of them. I ran into problems like, "not taking new patients", "we don't take that insurance", etc. I called Dr. Anamekwe and was able to make an appoint fairly quickly. Honestly, I had put her farther down on my list because I have hearing issues and I was afraid I would have trouble understanding her, but I decided to give it a try. After making my appointment, I looked her up on the internet to see what I could find out about her. Her clinic is Vivify Wellness Center and I found out that they had a weight loss center. I thought, "Oh boy! I am looking for a doctor to address my health concerns and all she is going to be interested in is my weight." I have struggled with my weight for many years. I have been to many weight loss clinics. Trust me. I know the drill, but for some reason I decided to give it a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! Dr. Anamekwe is delightful, very personable, easy to understand, and took an ample amount of time with me. All through my visit, though, in the back of my mind was, "When is she going to hit me with the weight loss." I NEVER happened! We talked about all my history. She told me how she was interested in treating all my issues to the upmost of her ability; she shared her philosophy on medical treatment; and she never mentioned the weight loss portion of her practice - I had to ask her about it. She told me if I were interested in that, I would have to make another appointment just for it because her medical practice is separate. I was impressed. I have now been seeing her for almost six months. She discovered I was pre-diabetic. I am going today for blood work that I expect to tell me that I have completely turned that situation around. I did join her weight loss program, which is really just a lifestyle change, and I have lost over 30 pounds. The plan is easy and I am never hungry. I have very few cravings but when I do, I have learned that the taste of that food is not nearly as good and the way that lower number on the scale makes me feel. I am looking forward to getting off some of my medications - I currently take NINE. (Can you imagine the cost of that!) Recently I told her, "Dr. Anamekwe, you are going to save my life." She answered, "No, I am going to be the instrument God uses to save your life." Wow, when was the last time you got a response like that from a doctor? I thank God for putting the obstacles in front of me when I was searching for a new Internist. I know He led me straight to Dr. Kene Anamekwe.
