She then persists to say "we are ready to close up" even though they were still open for 30 more minutes?! Lazy.

BOOM! I lost 32 pounds from Patti's HCG Diet program in just SIX WEEKS! I sit at a desk 8-10 hours…read morea day 5-6 days a week, so this program was perfect for me as it doesn't require any additional exercise. The HCG Diet requires a daily injection, which you give to yourself, and a detailed protocol to follow for a very strict low-calorie diet. I will say, with the very low-calorie diet, you will need to be prepared to be in a dedicated mindset to be successful. Do your research before you commit yourself to the 21-40 days of the diet, then maintenance phase, but man let me tell you it's so worth it, and I feel AMAZING! The six weeks just flew by too which made it that much better and I'm so glad I did it. I feel lighter, healthier and overall like a new person. And let me tell you, Patti (the owner) is a truly amazing woman. Super laid back and extremely encouraging! She will support you literally every day throughout the entire program to help you achieve your goal on your weight loss journey. I don't think I could have completed the program so successfully without her encouragement and guidance. She also requires you to text her your daily weight each morning so you can both keep track of it, which made my experience feel easier and more personal. She even made me feel comfortable enough to reach out anytime and text her with any questions I had. I am so happy to have found Hixson Weightloss Center & Shot Spot M.D., and I would 1000% recommend them! They offer a ton of other fun services too! Some personal tips from my experience with the HCG Diet: Injections: If you're nervous to give yourself an injection, don't be! I was terrified to give myself the shots at home, but after I did the first one on my own, it was a relief how easy it was. You just pinch a part of your belly fat and pop it on in. The needle is so tiny that you barley feel it go in, and the syringe is so small you don't feel anything go in. Low-Calorie Diet: MINDSET IS KEY! This is a VERY strict diet, and aside from the injections, plays the biggest role in your weight loss success. Depending on how much you want to lose, you will be on this strict diet for a minimum of 21 days, or 40 days max if you have over 30 pounds to lose. I recommend doing your research first on the HCG Diet. I'd recommend Googling "The HCG Chica" to watch her step-by-step journey, as she explains in full detail the phases you'll go through, the VLCD (Very low-calorie diet), what foods you will be restricted to, and more. The HCG injections WILL help curb your appetite, but I personally went a little further and had Phentermine prescribed to me as well to suppress my appetite further. If you follow the diet protocol perfectly, there's no doubt you will be successful! And to drop a pound a day is very exciting to look forward to every morning! Don't be nervous. I'm 34, 5'11" and was 205, now 173! For my height, that definitely made a huge difference in my appearance and how I feel mentally and health-wise. Think about it, in 30 days, you could be 30 pounds (or more) lighter! That was me! Finding more Info about the HCG Diet: I recommend following or watching "The HCG Chica" as she mades videos that break down the entire program, her personal experience with it, others success stories on the program, and overall has all the info you'll need to questions you may have. I watched her videos throughout my program which I found to be really helpful!

At first, I was smitten with the both Jack and the dr. Because they're great sales men!…read moreThat is over the initial interview. But to be honest, while the program seems legitimate and effective, in the long run it's not worth it. To keep up with the calorie intake that they suggest is honestly impossible! And then when they offer additional weeks of "support", it's really not support. The support they offer is basic online webinars that you can pull up anytime on your own for free anyways. Do the injections work? Yes. You can lose a lot of weight with using hCG injections and a calorie intake of barely 500 a day. I mean you're basically starving yourself. And then when the program is over .... you gain all the way back plus more!!!!!! Unless you become basically anorexic.

Do not give them a credit card number or debit card number because they will charge it whenever they feel needed and they don't go by the written contract. There turnover rate for staff is horrible. Must be the manager who is running them off. The funny thing is the owner has no idea because the manager does not tell him everything. Make sure you read the fine print before signing anything with the manager Casey!!!!! She tries to be very sneaky don't let her fool you. Other than that I have lost some weight. The HCG she charged me for was 150.00 over priced as well. Go check other places prices and compare before you choose here.

In mid December, I read about a cosmetic procedure called Profound.  I was searching for providers,…read moreand learned about DiStefano Med Spa, and called and talked to Jessica.  Jessica said, they didn't like Profound, was selling the machine, and switching to Ultherapy.  Jessica said their patients liked Ultherapy, had gotten great results, and it was less invasive, and costs less.  I had never heard of Ultherapy, and told Jessica I wanted to do research.  Jessica said the cost for lower face and neck was $2300.  After doing research, I decided I wanted to try Ultherapy, and called Jessica to make an appointment, and to confirm the price.  Jessica was not at work, so I talked to Madison.  Madison said the cost was $2700.  I then said Jessica had told me the price was $2300, and then Madison changed the price to $2300.  The price must depend on who you ask, or what day you ask.  The fluctuating price should have been a red flag, but I still made the appointment.  I live 2 hours from Chattanooga, and on the day of the appointment, it was raining hard, there was road construction everywhere, there was heavy traffic, I had to stop for gas, and I also had forgotten about the hour time difference, and arrived 40 minutes late.  Prior to arriving, I was getting calls from Madison asking where I was.  When I arrived, I was escorted to the treatment room, and I was taking off my rain jacket, when I noticed I had stuck my credit card in my pocket when I had stopped for gas. I said to Madison, I am glad I found the card because I was going to pay with the card, and asked if that would be okay.  Madison said yes, but there would be a 3% charge for using a credit card.  In all the conversations, and texts, I had with personnel at DiStefano's, no one ever mentioned payment.  In fact, they hide the fact that they charge 3% on credit cards.  I didn't want to pay the 3%, and the nearest bank where I could get the cash was a 40 minute round trip.  That would have put Madison on overtime, and she said she had plans and could not stay, even though her plans didn't start until 8:00 PM.  I said I could Zelleo the money, but they said no.  DiStefano's offered to wave the 3% on a second visit, but why would I agree to a second visit, when I wasn't certain I would like the $2300 first visit.  DiStefano's would not wave the 3% on the day I was there, even though I had driven two hours to get there, and they didn't tell me in advance there would be a 3% charge for using a credit card.  I had no choice but to pay the 3%, or leave, so I left.  I was out 4+ hours of my day, tank of gas, and miles on my car, but DiStefano's was out $2300 and the loss of a potential long term customer.  In addition to all the turmoil regarding payment, Madison, a nurse, didn't seem experienced in the procedure, and had not had the procedure herself, except for her upper lip during a demonstration on how to use the equipment.  Go somewhere else.  Don't waste your time, and money with DiStefano's Medical Spa.
