In response to your response:…read more I am in atlanta. The review is based entirely on what happened to this person after seeing you and based on the information you gave them. Your son (i believe but i may be wrong) was also incredibly rude on the phone when genuine issues were expressed.. and there was complete disregard from you in your diagnosis which were completely off the wall and wrong by any medical standard sadly... which resulted in my friend going to the hospital based on false data presented by you... I apologize if this review is damaging but when it comes to people's health i don't think you can be playing around and diagnosing people with serious illness based on information you clearly don't understand or have education in... its just plain dangerous.

I have always struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I have always been told by…read moredoctor's that I was obese, thank you for putting your doctorate to use by telling me something that I saw in the mirror this morning, I digress. Anyhoo, I have to say that the Center of Weight Management and the staff are so kind and professional. From the desk staff to the medical staff. They never make you feel as if you are bothering them, I can't tell you how many times I locked myself out of my patient account and had to have it reset and they did it with a smile every time. I was so ready to finally take this journey and they were all ready to take it with me. They had the nutritionist and physical therapist meet with me individually and it was great! They were just awesome to meet with and made sure I could contact them whenever I needed too. They also have psychologists on staff to help with any issues you might need to talk about but they also teach important courses prior and after your surgery, which is free to patients and a support person. Dr. del Mazo is an amazing surgeon. He makes you feel as if you are his only patient, I know he has many more, but I always felt as if I was his first priority. He visited me in the hospital after surgery and encouraged me to get out of bed and walk, he even challenged me and another patient to a contest ... she won darn it! But it was a great experience all around. There is so much more I could say but my boss is looking at me like i should get back to work. I swear they want me to work for my paycheck! Do yourself a favor, if you decide to take this journey walk with the Center For Weight Management At Gwinnett Medical Center they are the best!

Now that I'm post-op, it's time to spill the boiling hot tea all over the place. The first 6 mos…read more (waiting period due to insurance co.) were brutal. I got put through so many hoops to jump (nutrition visits, fitness eval) and it was a monthly thing for the nutrition visits. I was going through a divorce AND had just graduated from university all in one of those months and forgot I had a nutrition appointment one of those months because it was mentally chaotic for me considering what I was going through. My life had just been turned upside down and now I had to consider moving out and deciding whether to stay in GA for my new career or to get out of state (I chose the latter eventually). Note: I DID mention that I forgot that one appointment!!! So then when I showed up for the following month's appointment, I find out that some rat in the facility cancelled ALL of my upcoming remaining less-than 6 months worth of appointments without my consent and the attitudes of the front desk personnel at the nutrition/dietary center changed to negative and they started treating me like a juvenile delinquent with a lost cause. Mind you, I just graduated with a bachelor's degree and had been awarded for excellence in college. I'm not a mean person and I do value my time as well as others'. Well, long story short the clinic said they couldn't see me again until I talked with Miss Al'Nisa (one of the patient advocates) to resolve the issue for missing September's nutrition appointment. I kid you not, that lady approached me with one heck of a snappy attitude and said "You might as well just give up and start all over again with 6 months because you missed that one appointment." I stood up to her and said "Absolutely not! We are going to work through this." Had I not stood my ground, she would not have given me a form to give to my primary care doc to fill out (btw, that form got filled out easily and life went on just fine). This wasn't the first match I had with Al'Nisa. Some time prior to that day, I kindly (and professionally) asked her about helping me make sure my insurance company would pay for the surgery without them trying to pull a slick one on me in the last minute and refuse to pay for the surgery. Al'Nisa raised that snappy voice of her's again with me and outright refused to help me at all. If you even ask that lady for help, honey you are on your own. She doesn't do anything extra. That attitude of hers is toxic and I am so glad I demanded to have a change with patient advocates. Unfortunately, someone put her up to calling me again and by the attitude over the phone, I knew right away it was that snappy one again. I told her she had no business handling my case anymore. I got switched to Pedro for patient advocate and while he was much better, I guess he got the false rumor I am an idiot or something because he got smart with me on the phone one day and made assumptions and I called him out for it. Little did he know, I am going through a divorce and was in the process of packing up my house and things getting lost in the house because of the drama. Things happen, but that doesn't mean you get smart with me over the phone. Anyway, I made it pretty clear with this clinic I did not appreciate them going behind my back to cancel appointments just because I missed one appointment. Their attitudes toward you will change if you miss one day, so here's my advice to every single pre-op patient considering this clinic: 1. Hold this place accountable. You make sure you get a printout of your appointments for the clinic side (the side where you visit the nurses and surgeons) and the nutrition/dietary side) because if you miss one day, they will wipe out all of your future appointments without any notice to you and they genuinely do not GAF and I'm saying that nicely. You also make sure they did not cancel any of your appointments as well. 2. Go ahead and ask patient advocate for the nutrition/weight log that you give to your primary care provider to document for the month in case you miss one nutrition visit. (life happens, be prepared. Don't let them screw you over. NO you don't have to start all over again. They'll make you think that, but you need to put your foot down and stand up to them and say NO I am not starting over!!!) 3. Ask for Pedro as your advocate and your life will be with less bs attitude problems. He is more likely to work with you. 4. Do attend the pre-op meeting(s) if required for insurance purposes. They aren't painful or brutal. Just grin and bear it. 5. Buy at least 2 bags of Bariatric Advantage protein shake bags from them before your surgery date. They also sell the sample packs that come with a shaker bottle and tote bag, you're welcome! (less then $30) 6. Raj is amazing. If you end up having mental health appts with her, she's fantastic. Even if not required, I would highly recommend you visiting her at least once to talk about eating right and paying attention to your body.

I just realized that I didn't update my Yelp to reflect my last HCG clinic - the one I ultimately…read morechose. http://doctorswellness.com The website is a little cheesy but I went with them because I was super impressed with the fact that during my initial consult - I met, at length, with both the physician's assistant, Jonathon Z. Dero, and Dr. Mark Wright. I found Mr. Dero, their PA, to be very informative. I spent about 1 1/2 hours with Mr. Dero. And he very carefully explained the diet and caloric restrictions. They also give you two books (another standout addition) - one of which goes over the program in painstaking detail - the other is a cookbook. He also showed me, unnecesarily - smile, how to inject myself, and answered all my questions. I was told injection contained a total of 175 units of the hCG in each injection. And twice during our consult, he called Dr. Wright in to answere questions. I never felt rushed, and in fact, felt guilty about how much time I took up with all my questions and comments. Before we wrapped up, Mr. Dero gave me his personal email address and told me to email him with any and all questions. The pricing was very competitive compared to the other clinics I visited. I purchased 4 weeks of injections but I only did the program for 3 weeks and stopped only because I was traveling so much that it made it difficult to stick to the lean protein diet and still consume enough calories to not feel weak, tired or light-headed. During that time period - I lost 18 pounds and have gained 8 lbs back - thanks to a steady diet of fast food and sugary beverages. The only symptoms I had were breast tenderness - which I was told they had never seen occur in any other patient - and before I stopped diet completely - because I wasn't eating enough - I experienced the aforementioned weakness, tiredness and light-headedness. Like all the other clinics - they show you how to administer the shots yourself and if you're squeamish about it - you can go to clinic each week and (for a fee) they will administer shots for you. The staff was very friendly, albeit somewhat loud, but they definitely made me feel welcome and completely at ease. My feelings about the HCG diet are that it's a great way to get weight off quickly - and as long as you commit to healthy eating habits - you can keep the weight off. Just like any diet plan - if you go back to eating fast food and drinking soft drinks and sweet tea, the weight will come back. The only con I can really list about this place is that they have two locations - Norcross and Marietta - so they are only in Marietta a limited amount of times per month (Tues & Thu / 9am - 6pm) which might make it difficult for people who are scheduling visits to pick up HCG or purchase B12 injections (you can't administer those at home for some reason) or even just drop in for a weigh-in. Hope this helps!

I have to say that recently the care received from them has not been good. I just had an annual physical conducted by Mary and felt the visit was rushed. Although there are signs posted everywhere that annual well visits should only be that with no mention of other things such as not feeling well, I did mention at the visit that I have not been feeling good for a long while. The conversation was brushed off and I allowed that to happen because I knew I would be getting a full blood panel completed. When the results were received I learned that the white blood cell count was very low and had been that way for an entire year! While this physician group is generally pretty good I feel they have failed me. I had been to that office many times during that one year span for various reasons and no one thought to check previous bloodwork or anything in my file to get to the bottom of why I was not feeling good. What is the point of doing physical exams each year if you cannot go in and discuss any concerns you may have and notice about your general health? It also concerns me that there are many older people who do not manage well with technology and yet they force a new app on all patients to get their results from tests. The quality of care just did not seem up to par on my last visit and they should do better. Mary should do better.

I've been struggling with an eating disorder since I was 16, so it is obviously not something that was going to go away overnight. Page makes time with me every month to go over my typical meals, points out where I'm lacking and supports and encourages me every time there's a setback. She is a kind and caring person and I have recommended her dozens of times before realizing it was on Yelp today. :) I feel like she genuinely wants me to experience normalized eating and goes out of her way to offer opportunities that help this. She is not a restrictive dietitian and bases her approach off of what I'm currently eating, which has always made it very manageable. She recommends what I can add to my meals for more benefits, and even has done this at time when my diet was McDonalds or just eating out all the time. She's seen it all. Page also offers several pamphlets during meetings, free outings (Breakfast Club, Dessert Club, a fitness outing, etc) to supplement your time with her, and is generally very in-the-know. I can't thank her enough for what she's done for me, so you should definitely give her a call if you're looking for help.

Page did not help our child at all…read more Page says she specializes in eating disorders but she did not use evidence-based treatment for our child. Our child ended up having to go to a much higher level of care and our lives have been severely negatively impacted because of Page's lack of knowledge about how to treat eating disorders and how to empower families to be courageous and brave in the face of anorexia. We are slowly coming out from deep despair about our child's future with the help of properly trained dietitians and therapists (trained in FBT). Our child lost out on so much as they had to drop out of school and stop seeing friends while in hospital. Page's notes from sessions to us were written like chicken scratch all over the page and very hard to read. Booking sessions with her was difficult as she has no way to book online, you have to go back and forth via email with her assistant. Page was late for several appointments. Page never included us (our child's parents) in sessions so we had NO IDEA what to do. Our child kept getting worse and worse and we finally had to admit them to the hospital. Page never gave us information on WHAT TO DO for our child other than "serve an extra portion of carbs at dinner." This was outdated, scant advice and Page missed many opportunities to truly help us. We are sad we were referred to her by others and we hope NO ONE goes to see her for eating disorders as she has no idea what she's doing. Page just gives you a bunch of outdated copies of nutrition advice on paper and charges you for a session -- with no real advice on HOW TO HELP your child as a parent. If your child is struggling with anorexia -- you need to get the book "Anorexia and Other Eating Disorders" by Eva Musby. This should be REQUIRED reading for any parent of a child with anorexia. Start reading this book immediately, while you start getting a team together for your child. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, after drug addiction. You must act immediately. We assumed we were set with Page and our child's therapist -- that they would help our child. But they did not at all because they didn't know about FBT; our child just kept getting worse and worse. Little did we know, we as parents must take the LEAD in helping our child. You know your child --- you must act fast to stop anorexia from becoming too engrained into their mind; otherwise it's a very hard journey back on to the road to recovery. Save yourself the heartache of having to hospitalize your child. Look for a dietitian and therapist who specializes in FBT or Family Based Treatment, the ONLY evidence-based treatment for anorexia. Page DOES NOT do this and she's been a dietitian for a long time. I hope this helps save someone from the heartache we've been through.

I've been a patient of Dr. Curtis's for the past 3 months and I am amazed at her intuitiveness, her…read morecompassion and her knowledge of how to deal with complex health issues. I am a nutrition nerd who reads and studies up on food as medicine, but after years of VERY stressful life situations and trying to self manage my diet, I was still lethargic and moody, even with a squeaky clean diet (no grains, no sugar, no diary). Many of us know that when you can't fix things yourself through diet, there's likely something else going on. It was time to see a doctor who practices functional medicine. Around this time, I also learned that my sister has a specific genetic mutation that could impact my health, so I threw that on the agenda. I arrived at the office with a list of things I needed her input on. She took time to sit with me, review the very detailed medical history questionnaire and listen to what was going on. She was careful and thorough during our visit. She spent an entire hour and a half with me - reviewing my history. No interruptions. No sitting in a room for 45 minutes waiting to speak to the doctor. Me and Dr. Curtis - discussing my issues one on one for over an hour. Who does that anymore? No one. It's not surprising that this level of treatment comes at a cost. Functional doctors can be pricey, but I knew that beforehand. I was also prepared to pay out of pocket if need be as insurance may not cover some of the tests or supplements. My health and the knowledge I gain by working with Dr. Curtis is worth any amount I pay. I am learning how to cope with the stresses of life - what supplements help me in which ways. Which foods work well for my body and which result in negative consequences. My father died young of a sudden heart attack and I am convinced that had I not seen Dr. Curtis, learned the details of my genetic makeup and what lifestyle modifications I needed to make - I would end up with the same fate. The fees I pay for office visits, diagnostic tests and the like are investments in MY health. I'm taking control of my health vs. resorting to pharmacutical remedies and I believe that this investment is worth every penny. I am so very grateful to Dr. Curtis for the work that she does. I can tell by her demeanor that she is doing this work from her heart. She is mindful of the cost of the supplements that she recommends. For example, I was on a 21 day gut rebuilding diet which necessitated a specialized protein powder supplement that was expensive. After the 21 days were up, she and I discussed what to do with the leftover powder and she recommended I use the rest up for meal replacements since it would be wasteful to throw it out and she'd hate for me to lose the $ I'd spent buying it. She also gives samples of supplements to try to make sure it will work with your body composition before you purchase a full bottle. I could not ask for more in a doctor than what Dr. Curtis provides. She is knowledgable, compassionate and she listens. She's not rushing you out of the office because she has to see 5 patients an hour. She is there for you during your appointment time. Her attention is focused on you and your needs. If this is the type of doctor - patient relationship you're looking for, look no further. I recommend AFM and Dr. Curtis to anyone with health challenges. I am a customer for life!
