I decided to try Physicians Weight Loss Centers in hopes that I would finally be able to lose the excess weight that I've been struggling with in recent years with the help of a physician. There was a Groupon available for a 4-week program and 4 B12 injections. When I initially called, I spoke to a woman by the name of Halle. She was kind and set up an appointment for the following Monday. When I arrived, she took me into the exam/weighing room. There was no doctor there and I have not since ever seen or spoken with one. I spoke to her about the program. She wrote out the contract and had me sign it before handing me a folder of materials outlining the plan and leaving the room help the other customers as she was the only person in the office. I was alarmed that much of the material appeared to be from the 1980s, including the weight poster noted on the wall, and I started to develop a general uneasy feeling. I was also shocked to hear her talking to a gentleman who was on a 500 calorie plan who told her that he would like to begin working out more. She advised against working out as his plan was so low in calories. When she came back in, she offered to give me the B12 MIC injections which included a fat burning agent. I asked her what the side effects were and she indicated that "they are natural so they don't have any side effects". I wanted to respond that they are natural which means they are not regulated by the FDA and could potentially have really bad side effects but held my tongue and wondered if people actually believe this! Thankfully, nothing especially troubling happened. She recommended Physicians Weightloss snack bars ($16.50 for 7 bars) which upon scanning on My Fitness Pal revealed themselves to be actually by a company called Slimgenics. Their program requires you to supplement with these bars and shakes each day. They say that they are the "cornerstone" of the program. I also purchased the 24-hour Thermogenic supplements which she assured me would have no side effects. She also advised me to stop taking my vitamins and take theirs because they were specially formulated. Upon analysis, the Physicians Weight Loss vitamins were substantially less nutritional than my regular Gaia branded vitamins but included an extra .5mcg of Chromium Picolinate which is also in the 24-hour Thermogenic supplement. I spent over $180 for a 4-week program, Thermogenic supplements, subpar vitamins and a box of protein bars with sugar alcohols, 10grams of soy protein, and quite a few carbs. Upon examination, the ingredients list and macros are extremely similar to the much less expensive Atkins branded bars. I followed the program for the next 4 days as outlined despite the bars making me sick and the 24-hour Thermogenic supplements causing heart palpitations and difficulty sleeping. When I returned that Thursday, I was told by the assistant, who was also by herself in the office with no sign of an actual physician, that I wasn't following the plan correctly and the first week is always strange because your body is adjusting to the plan. She said that none of their food has more than 5 ingredients. Are you kidding? Their ingredients listing has at least 30 ingredients, most of which are not natural. I actually weighed in at more than 1 lb since my last weigh in. She attributed it to me wearing jeans and I didn't even bring up the fact that the previous assistant had subtracted 3 lbs for clothes when I weighed in the first time so, in theory, I had actually gained 4 lbs in 4 days. I immediately stopped taking the supplements and anything recommended by the program. I returned to my running schedule and healthy 1200 calorie whole foods diet and now weigh 3 lbs less than I did when I weighed in the first time. Perhaps the supplements were causing water retention? Upon sharing my story, a friend indicated that her aunt had taken similar fat burning products that were attributed to two heart attacks. It is true that I went in the first time and only one check-in so I'm not sure how I would have done if I had completed the final three weeks of the program, but if my one week expensive experience was any indication, it wouldn't have been good. I would certainly recommend further research before signing up for this program.

I just got off the phone, trying to schedule a follow-up appointment and the person I spoke to was…read moreone of the rudest individuals that I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. I was explaining the nature of my doctor's order and instead of actually listening to me, she was lecturing me in the most condescending tone she could muster. When I could finally get a word in edgewise, she responded with, "then why can't you just do what you did before?" Ridiculous. There are many other offices in the area, go elsewhere. My first appointment went smoothly and the technician was kind and compassionate. They need a new person working the phones who can reflect the level of service offered here. Unfortunately, I refuse to be disrespected like that and will not be returning.

I took my wife to the Beachwood, OH Advantage Diagnostics facility for an ABD/PELV CT scan W/O…read moreContrast, for hematuria and specifically to rule out kidney stones. Being certified in CT and having worked in radiology for over 15 years, I knew what she should expect during her visit. Therefore, I advised my wife ahead of time to be certain to reiterate to the CT tech prior to the scan that she was there for a "kidney stone protocol", which she did. A kidney stone protocol calls for especially thin spiral CT slices in the range of 1.0-2.0mm, which is according to industry standards. The thinner slices permit the detection of smaller stones/calculi that might otherwise go undetected with the standard 5mm slices. Unfortunately, the CT Tech was very impersonal, didn't explain anything to my wife beforehand and simply went through the motions to get the job done. There were no patients in the waiting room at the time - no rush - zero pressure - no excuses. Once home, I reviewed the images on the provided disc and discovered that the scan was performed utilizing 5mm thick slices. I contacted the office and spoke with the CT Tech who insisted that the axial images were indeed performed at 2.0mm. Thinking perhaps I misread a series on the disc, I re-reviewed all of the images and confirmed that the axial images were indeed performed at 5.0mm thickness and not with 2.0mm slices as I was being told. I then called the CT Tech again, who, stating that she was currently looking over the images, assured me that the images were performed at 3.0mm thickness. I said, no, I'm looking at the images as well and they were performed at 5.0mm. She then conceded that yes, the images were at 5.0mm. ??? When I asked why she told me previously that the axial slices were performed at 2.0mm, she said, no, we do them at 5.0mm. So, I was first told the scan was performed using 2.0mm slices, then 3.0mm, then finally the truth at 5.0mm. To make matters worse, prior to our appointment I asked what the price would be for this particular CT scan with direct payment not using insurance. The cost was very reasonable. However, to reduce the out-of-pocket cost even further, we asked that they submit the claim through our insurance provider instead. Weeks later, we receive a bill in the mail from Advantage Diagnostics that reflected only minimal savings on our behalf. Interestingly, however, they billed and received over five (5) times the initial direct pay quote from our insurance provider. In the end, we thought that we had discovered a reasonably priced imaging facility that we could rely on for our diagnostic imaging needs as an alternative to the larger institutions. On one hand, the schedulers were terrific and very helpful in orchestrating things with the doctor and the insurance company in the process of establishing the appointment. The CT Tech, on the other hand, showed incompetence, questionable integrity and a gross lack of concern for the patient and the patient's diagnosis. Add to that the gross overcharge to our insurance provider and it goes without saying that there is no "Advantage" to the services provided by this company. Needless to say, we will not be back.
