Doctor Tostado & the kind folks over at the i-body are extremely talented and I'm eternally great full for their expertise. I highly recommend this facility. I have done a few cleanses and multiple hormone/pellet treatments, every single procedure done in a professional manner. 10 out 10! read more

ibody - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - San Marino, California

I've been coming to The IBody for several years now. I came here by a recommendation from my chiropractor, who is also a patient here. The first thing that impressed me is of course Dr. Tostado. I love his story of how he transitioned from traditional sick care to regenerative medicine. If you have the opportunity to stop by and just grab his book and nothing else; you're definitely getting an education of what transpires for many MD's in our sick care system. I mostly come here for BHRT. The procedure is painless and really has changed my life. Overall mental health, physical health, sleep, you name it, overall better. Fortunately I'm in pretty good health and I'm thankful for Dr. Tostado, his wife/NP Teresa, and Miranda for helping me with my health journey. This office is very welcoming and warm. They have a different way of treatment. They teach you to be well, starting from the inside out. If any supplements that are needed, they have many in house. Otherwise they use a compounding pharmacy in Huntington Beach. My husband and several friends of mine are also patients here and they all love the office as well. They have many services that they offer, I can only vouch for the several I have tried. BHRT, liver cleanse, weight loss program, I think that's it. They treat the whole person, labs are drawn in house or at satellite locations. They're not the normal labs that are always drawn. They're very comprehensive and Dr. Tostado goes over them with each patient very throughly. I look forward to being able to patient for many years to come. read more

The staff is knowledgeable and share beneficial information and support freely. They are friendly and supportive. The 21 day detox followed by the weight loss program is the most effective program I have ever tried. And I tried many. Their program brings daily results in wellness and weight loss. I saw the pounds shed daily. And they stayed off after the program. I experienced a positive permanent change in my food choices and I learned how to pay attention to my body, the queues it gives when I eat certain foods. I learned to focus on organic foods that bring wellness and energy to my body. And to recognize when the wrong foods are tearing my body down. read more

Love coming to the ibody! The doctor listens to all your concerns and makes sure to address everything! The staff is extremely friendly and I learn something new regarding healthy habits every time I come in. No matter what issue you are facing, you are going to feel better and equipped to make better decisions for your health. read more

To be honest I really like Dr T. It's just his front office staff Miranda's so rude and condescending. I asked her to se d my medical records never got them. Also another desk girl this young really dumb girl looked like she knew what she was doing my god she was going to attempt to draw blood from me and also gave me the wrong price. So when I went to pay I was livid! so I won't go back. read more

I took my mother her for Dr Neil K. Hersh's stem cell therapy treatment for her knee. This review is for the office not the medical staff who are normal at the place of business. The place is very brite, white, professional, and decorated. read more

RUN; DONT WALK from this DAYLIGHT ROBBERY The owner, Teresa Tostado is a CROOK; all she cares about is RIPPING your POcket; I went for a consultation on 10/04/14 and all they mentioned is he different services they provide for which she wanted $100 on top of billing my Anthem Blue Cross Insurance. She then convinced me to come today for a DNA Tests which I was told is covered by my Insurance. Today she had the audacity to DEMAND $100 for reading the blood test which is already covered by Insurance. PEOPLE BEWARE; This hole in the wall does not care for your health or well being; ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MINTING AND STEALING your hard earned money with an excuse of FAKE innovative science for body. BE SMART; don't let these con artists pull a wool over your eyes and do not buy any packages as they don't work. read more

I truly believe that under the care of Dr. Roberto Tostado and his amazing wife Teresa Tostado I have been given the best care with unequaled bedside manner of this couple that truly cares about their patients. I have done numerous procedures at IBody and have been so elated with all the results I highly recommend their services. Their knowledge base is amazing and attention to detail is outstanding. Expect a lot of personal feedback as they take their patients very seriously to heart. read more

Dr. Tostado changed my life! I did the 21 day detoxification and I not only felt healthier, lighter and more energetic, but my brain fog and joint pains disappeared. He also helped manage my hormone imbalance as well as other vitamin deficiencies all with natural remedies and proper diet. I am 57 years old and just now learning how to change the poor eating habits that have affected my health for so long. I haven't felt this good in years!! His staff is friendly, professional and very efficient. So grateful and happy to now have this amazing resource in my life. read more

Goshdarnit, if you don't ever trust any review of mine because I'm not "elite".. trust this one. I was sucked in by the good reviews until I noticed most reviews have less than 5 reviews and.... Oh, I get it now. (see the picture with the zebra rug? The sign right above the "d" in ibody? It's offering a discount for people who give good yelp reviews.) People who don't review anything else in all of Yelp give this place great reviews for a discount. Get your discount on, peeps. I'm not mad. Actually I am a little - I wasted my time and money here because of the "pay for review" system. Please notice all the reviews prior to my date are pretty short / meatless ... kinda like the appointments at Ibody. (Glad you "love this place", Ms New Reviewer, but what exactly did you have done at Ibody? Who did you see? Did you price compare before going?) Hmmm.... Kudos to a Dr practicing non-traditional medicine - and the Dr truly is nice - but the price and the amount of people they schedule at once - not worth it (the 'not ready for how many people will buy a groupon" syndrome?") Do a yelp search for a treatment you're after and I'm sure you'll find someone just as good for less money. I did. You'll usually see a different person every time (meet with Dr, then meet with his wife - who can have a condescending tone) then yet another time, you'll meet with some type of nursing assistant. Don't get suckered by people who pay in discounts for reviews. It's bullshit, read more

It has been a pleasant experience from the desk ,to belly melt infrared light service to consultation experience ,Dr Tostado,is well experienced, caring person.I dont understand why other people would rate subjectively instead of objectively ruining a business by reading from some unethical reviews.Drove all the way from West hills and it's worth driving for. read more

I love this place! I came in for light therapy advertised on Groupon. As I waited, I noticed that they do weight loss programs too so I asked about it. They recommend a 3 week detox then a six week round of HCG assisted weight loss. I've lost 22 pounds and I've felt better than ever! He also checked my hormone levels and I'm taking supplements which adds the the great feeling. Surprisingly, the program is not difficult to follow. I'm in the maintenance phase right now, but after the holidays I plan to do one more round to drop maybe another 10 pounds. I actually am looking forward to it. If you're serious about losing weight and just feeling amazing, check it out. read more

Long over due review...:. As most I first was introduced to ibody via groupon/living social... I purchased their detoxification program and was looking to start living a healthier life. Dr and Mrs Tostado were great from the start! They both have a passion for what they do and a plus seem very family oriented which says a lot to me (on a personal note). They are always part of the process if you request and just genuinely care about our progress. I started off with the cleanse and lost 10lbs and felt so much better in life. Dr T was clear to explain this was not a diet and that I needed to change my lifestyle (eating/exercising) gave me some advice, shared some great books to read and was never about what he could sell me to have a quick weight loss fix. After the cleanse I was interested in the HCG protocol ... They gave me the pros and cons and I went through with it. I have done it 3 times now and lost over 60 lbs. sad part is I never noticed i had an extra 60 lBs on my body ( I thought I was pretty fly lol) 60 lbs lighter I feel healthier, less snoring, better sleep and I make better eating choices now. I have kept off a big amount of my weight. I did gain 6 lbs but its because I was eating all the delicious new treats at my job "Starbucks" and to top it off only eating one meal a day and no exercise Well I have finished my weight loss journey and everyone was always there for me Yes they have been through several receptionist but For the most part there was a good reason. All the staff is always friendly with the exception of one old receptionist that is gone that was not always so courteous. They are very flexible with scheduling and accommodating to people with busy schedules Another great thing is when some of the manufactures have receptions at the office and you can get discounted product or just get some extra knowledge . Well great place, great product and flexible pay options. I recommend ibody to all my family and friends and several have completed some of the programs. Dr Tostado and Teresa are the best. I would not go anywhere else for my services. read more

I did their detoxification program, which is essentially eating veggies, fruits, taking their food supplements and their detoxification powder made of plant-based solids and whey. The result for me: I literally shed weight, had enormous energy and had better sleep. I became more inspired and wrote 7 essays in two weeks. It has been the most productive I have ever been. My friends saw me and on their own wanted to sign up, I drove them to the place and they too enrolled. One lost weight, 13 pounds in three weeks; another lost 11 pounds in three weeks. I personally lost 9 pounds in three weeks. Average weight loss is 12 pounds in three weeks. Another one started last week and in one week, lost 8 pounds and she texted me, "Tita, I am so happy, I am so inspired and I feel so refreshed everyday." HCG Program. I signed up for their HCG program and after three weeks, I have a total loss of 22.2 pounds. I have two more weeks to go on the program. It has helped me not just shed weight, I have gone from extra large to medium size in shirts. I had to take in my clothes two inches on each side. But, I agree with some of the complaints on unprofessionalism, those do not however relate to the nurse practitioner nor the doctor, both husband and wife are professional, meticulous in giving care but the marketing person, who made lots of promises that were not substantiated, as he did not really know how to sell the program. To me, he was a disservice to the establishment, I would not have signed up if I listened to him. But, given the results I have had, I highly recommend it, it has been a positive experience. We have many reasons why we don't sign up, we are not ready. But, seeing the results on another friend, JN, I was convinced that I wanted the same results she experienced. I now have 10 more days to get done and I must say, it is a step in the right direction towards health and wellness. I also gained knowledge on how to monitor aches and pains in my body and I know right away that I am not supposed to eat red meats that result in inflammation for my body. So, every now and then when I have a craving, I have it once a month and a few pieces of steak satisfy my craving. But, now my groceries for this week: kale, green salad mix, arugula, tomatoes, chicken, fish, fuji apples, and persian cucumbers. Did I suffer - for the first few days when I was removing toxins in my body, I had headaches, I had pains in my joints, and after three days, they disappeared completley. PS: This is an unsolicited review, I received no discounts, in fact, I paid full price for the program. read more

I was referred here by a friend... They are truly attentive and were apologizing for making me wait 2 minutes! What doctor EVER does that??? Everyone is super friendly and they offer so many different services! Hmmm, which one shall I try next??? ;) read more

Professional attention and stand out personalized care. Truly take time to figure out what's best for you It is pricey but worth it if you are willing to put the effort for better overall health. read more

Where do I even start?? This place has been a god sent! I come here pretty much for my facials, homeopathic herbs, cortisone injections, and recently had my first procedure with smart lipo....which was an absolute success! 1) I've suffered with PCOS for years that brought upon many hormonal imbalances. Medical doctors would prescribe me medications that would only mask the issue and I had no help with the underlying problem of my syndrome. Fortunately, Dr. Tostado put me on a special herbal tonic and to my disbelief, my hormones for the first time were completely balanced. I've always had irregular periods, and now I get a period every month! And have been for the past 7 months!!! And all it took were herbs....no meds! 2) I recently had my first smart lipo procedure done on my neck/chin/jawline. I was very nervous at first, but Dr. Tostado, along with his wife were very professional and gentle with me. The results were amazing! It has only been less than a month and I was able to recover and heal quickly. They put me on these herbs that would help with healing and bruising (all natural....no meds!) It is very rare to find medical practitioners also incorporate a natural approach as well! I am scheduled to have another smart lipo procedure in a couple of months and I know I will be in good hands ;) I highly recommend this place!! read more

Horrible place! The lady who was giving me the medicine had to read her notebook to answer my questions! They are very unprofessional. First, she said that it was just a detox program no to loose weight; then when I told her that on the website said that it will help to loose weight, she say yes it will help, but then she say no again. They do not know what they are doing. They just want you to sign paperwork to obligate to pay before to explain the program to you. I'm glad that I read the real reviews before to go. I will never let this people to take care of my health! They make me waste my time and I was seriously scared of being there! read more

Okay, an update. The principal staff is now at the Ibody in San Marino. It has not opened yet, but it will have its grand opening next week. My review below still stands, and the principal staff is still intact, hurrah!! My treatments have finished, but I still stop by to say hello and get tips on health related issues. It is amazing how accessible Dr. Tostado and Teresa are for their previous clients. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psss...ok, I'm writing this review now that we've been married four years, so even if my wife reads this, it's safe to out it. Biologica got me married. That's right--and what a beauty catch she is! Five years ago, I was caring for my mother and father, who passed away, and I was a wreck--crinkled forehead, graying thinning hair, perpetual frown, rageful, and just looking and feeling old. When one blind date asked for identification because she didn't believe my age, that was it, I needed urgent help, or a tall bridge with a target below. A friend quietly referred me to Biologica and I talked with a Dr. Tostado who I thought was trying to look like a Mexican rock star, before I found out he graduated from my alma mater Columbia University. What I really had to get used to was his double take dry gallows sense of humor--when was the last time a doctor made your belly ache from laughing at yourself? What I really liked was his business' holistic approach to improving your appearance, rather than cut, cut, snip, snip. He and his wife Teresa, the nurse practitioner(UCLA Hurray!), didn't just help with helping me elongate my round face and stamp out the frown creases from my forehead, they gave practical advice on eating, thinking, and living healthily. It was a little like getting a therapist along with your liposuction. I won't go into my treatments--that's private, but this place makes you feel like family, in the sense that they genuinely seem to want to help. And, they do everything they can to make your experience affordable--something worth a lot to this cheap Asian. And, while I have to give myself credit for getting married, Biologica did help me look younger and better and gave me some newfound confidence that an aging pup can use! read more

I was referred by a friend and so far I've been very happy! I have started the HCG program and after 2 weeks I have lost 10lbs. Dr. Tostado and his staff were very informative and spent a lot of time with me explaining the process and answering my many questions. I am also excited because they offer so many other services that I am interested in as well. The location was very easy to find, it's close to my house and there is a ton of parking. I will be a repeat patient here for sure. read more

I came in on a friend's recommendation and received a blood test and discuss their detoxification program. I went through a thorough consultation with Dr. Tostado. When I hedged about entering the program, Dr. Tostado was completely gracious. He seemed very frank about my eating habits and he explained his holistic philosophy of preventive medicine with me. I was very taken back by how much time he spent with me, even after I told him I was noncommittal. If I do decide to go ahead, I will definitely come here. I really feel as if this place is interested in my health and not just for my business. read more

This place is a God send!! In need of an emergency cortisone injection/shot for my angry & huge acne cysts before a wedding, I was able to book a same day appointment on a Friday afternoon. The receptionist was very nice, honest & friendly over the phone & in person. Upon my arrival, I filled out new patient forms & saw Dr. Teresa Tostado NP almost immediately. Not only was she very knowledgeable, friendly and straight to the point, but she put my qualms at ease since this was my first time. I am pleased that they offer convenient hours Monday through Friday (9am-6pm) & Saturday (9am-2pm) for those who are working. Results of the emergency cortisone injection were successful. My huge acne cysts were noticeably less inflamed within a 12 hour period which would normally take about 1-2 weeks to flatten out or heal. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to others & would come back perhaps for other services such as body detox/cleanse or facial.. Thank you Dr. Teresa Tostado! Service: 5+++ Atmosphere: 5+++ Very clean and fresh There is ample of street parking on Huntington & Oak Knoll. read more

I've known Dr. Tostado and his wife for years. I did one of their services in December and it's now June. Not that I wasn't confident already but after doing the procedure, I've gain more confidence and appreciate the info he gives me when I either see him in the clinic or out. Great place, come check them out. read more

Went in today to try out a Detox Facial, came out feeling fresh and so clean clean, lol. But seriously, wasn't sure what to expect..... I was greeted by the office manager Elaine, who was very friendly and professional. After filling out some new customer information packet, I was made aware of the many other services that they provide there. The place being very clean put my mind at ease from the start, next I was led to a room and met my esthetician Maria. She got me ready and away we went, started with an evaluation of my skin and condition. Than the magical journey began, poking, scrubbing, squeezing, which than led to some soothing oils, gels, conditioning to give me a healthy feeling face. Thank you to the staff that helped me, see you soon..... read more

iBody assisted my husband and I lose serious weight before our wedding! I lost 12 lbs and he lost 35 lbs 6 weeks before our wedding!!!

My husband is thinking about returning for another round. read more

8 weeks ago I got a food intolerance ELISA blood test from Ibody. Ever since having my daughter, I was exhausted and the eczema I had since I was a teen was getting continually worse. First, I blamed it on new motherhood, then nursing, but as she became a toddler, I ran out of excuses. When Dr. Tostado explained the results to me, I was shocked to learn that I had in-tolerances to dairy, eggs, gluten and garlic. I never would have guessed all of those things without this test. Dr. Tostado talked to me about how to make healthy changes in my life and wasn't rushed at all. I eliminated all of those foods from my diet and it has literally changed my life. I used to need caffeine to get through the afternoon at work and then fall asleep with my daughter at 9pm. Now my eczema has improved greatly, I have the energy I did back in highs chool and can easily stay awake until 12 or later and go without caffeine at work. I also lost 10lbs (I wasn't even looking to lose weight) and now weigh the same I did when I was 16! I had no idea that I was poisoning myself with food. I feel like shouting it from the rooftops. If you are tired, get headaches and/or suffer from eczema, get this test! Ibody has truly helped make my life better! read more

I do not believe that Ibody is sketchy. I live in San Diego and I have been to clinics in Beverly Hills and La Jolla and they have provided me with exceptional results just like Dr. Robert Tostado, M.D. and Teresa Tostado, NP. They are very detailed and they left no reason for me to feel anxious. I am not the easiest patient as I do my research and asked too many questions but they were patient, honest and appropriate. I am proud to say that I am a very experienced patient in cosmetic department and I can tell who just wanted you for your money. Honey, I dont worry about money but I know who lies and who doesnt. I highly recommend I-body. read more

Wonderful experience from the first visit/call to the last ones. Dr. and Theresa Tostado are both great people. They made me feel comfortable and made the profess 'fun'. The office team (Chad and Adriana) represent the company well and are both so gracious. I highly recommend visiting them to see for yourself. read more

Skeptical because I tried every diet in the world I made an appointment after seeing an advertisement in a magazine. First the staff is out of this world. Professional and they know your name which made me feel soooo warm and welcome. Dr. Tostado or Doc T as i call him assured me he could help. I am a TYPE I INSULIN DEPENDANT DIABETIC. I have lost 45 lbs on the IBody HCG program droped my overall blood sugar from 7.1 to 5.8 and my blood pressure was so good I almost passed out. Not to mention all the other technicals I have that are soooo much better. I highly reccomend The IBody HCG Program if you want to be a Loser! I AM..... And Proud Of It! Tracey C. read more

I've just completed a 21 day cleanse with Dr Tostado, my experience was wonderful!!! This wasn't just about weight loss for me, it was about getting to the source of what kept me from feeling well, and I found after years of going to medical doctors and being prescribed various medications I've hit the jackpot! Dr tostado has the knowledge and more importantly the commitment to transforming the way we think about our own well being.... If your sick and tired of the way you feel, tired of the dialogue in your head about how you feel, if your concerned about the future of your health, don't hesitate to call, the consultation is free. Peace Love and Gratitude.............. read more

Wow! This place is amazing. Dr. Tostado was so great with my wife. They were so patient and my wife looks amazing. Plus the offices are beautiful. read more

In a word.... SKETCHY! Very hard sales- Bottom line- they want your money. Be careful what you sign up for. Plus- the service was unprofessional, i wasn't called back, i wasn't told they were moving until i showed up at the wrong place, you never know if you are talking to a doctor or the receptionist. I will not be going back but taking my service else where. read more

I went here because I had a coupon from groupon first of all. When I came it they upsold me to the detox program, I wanted to try it. But then a couple of things happen that I wish I shouldn't of tried it. I have stomach issues first of all so I told them and the person did check with the Dr. He said it would be no problem, well after I started bleeding then they told me to check with my Dr. I think they should of told me in the beginning they didn't know would of been better. That is one of the problems but not the worst of all, ok so I signed up then they give you a bag full of pills and powder and give you a book and you pretty much go from there. Because after that no one ever told me which pill or so to take or follow up, only thing they tried to sell me to the HCG program. So I come in for my last session, did I tell you that anyone at the front desk gives you your shot. I learned the hard way, I come in and go to the back with the girl at the front desk. And she gives me the wrong shot!!!! Not sure why? How do I know, she is reading the chart and not sure if the chart was messy or if she didn't know how to read it but to me she didn't know which shot to give me cause she kept looking at the chart. So I come out after and this is how I know now she gave me a shot of the wrong thing, she comes back with a couple of syringes and bottles of HCG. I told her I was not doing that program and she looks at me puzzled. I leave and after a minute or so I get a call on my cell from a 626 number but I don't answer because I was driving and no message was left and to me it was weird. And now I wonder if the people at front desk are even qualified to give you the shot. Also after a couple days I got my woman visit and let me tell you I got the worst pain ever for a couple of days I had the worst Cramps I could not walk, the pain was bad. After that I never got a call to see how I liked the program or how I did from the person that sold it to me or anyone. read more

This place gives you very bad service unless you're paying for an expensive product on that date. I chose to delay one service that was pricey as I felt I did not need it yet so the doctor refused to upgrade my thyroid supplement unless I come in, in person even though I got new lab results showing my labs were very low. Even though he intentionally lowered them from the previous dose which was already keeping my levels too low. They absolutely try to force you to spend a lot more money than is necessary on each visit. I had been going to this place for close to a year and have had multiple bad experiences but I kept going because I needed the services. But they are currently trying to withhold giving me my proper thyroid dose to force me to come in for a pricey service which is very shameful and in poor taste. They do not care AT ALL about your well being unless they're getting a lot of money from you each time. So if you can find another place that does care you should avoid them. read more

Ok, so it's been a few years since I did a detox through iBody so I went back to do another one, talked to N.P Teresa who was very upfront with pricing , biling and rates for all services I was looking into. Then had a lengthy consult with Dr. Tostado. Imagine being able to talk to your primary for over 40 minutes where the Doctrs only concern is YOU and Not getting you out the door in 5-7 minutes. Impressed with the holistic approach taken by IBody. If you are ready to Commit you will not be disappointed. read more
