I too was overweight. I am now 145 lbs, but in college I was 185 lbs. At 185 lbs I was uncomfortable. My clothes didn’t fit me, it was hard to play sports. I became increasingly embarrassed about my weight. I buckled down and changed my eating habits and exercised when I could. Over, 1 ½ years I lost 40 pounds. I’ve kept the weight off for over 15 years.

I feel great! I have more energy and endurance. I can play sports without getting short of breath. This has been very important for me as my kids play sports. I fit into my clothes much better. I also feel a great sense of achievement. Now, I use the weight loss as inspiration and motivation for everything I do.

It’s because of this, that I have chosen to work with overweight individuals. As a doctor it is my hope that our weight loss centers can improve your health. However, it’s as a once overweight person that I wish upon you the improved strength, endurance and confidence that comes with weight los

I wanted to loose about 15 pounds for the summer. American weight loss center is right next to my job. I walked in and Jonathan was so nice, he explained a little to me and we were able to schedule an appt for the next day with the doctor. I can’t begin to explain how happy I am. I have lost 8 pounds in two weeks and it’s been so easy. The doctor was so patient and explained everything to me. He took his time and did not rush threw the appt. The whole experience with the front desk, Diego and Jonathan are wonderful. Best thing so far are the results. Thanks American Weight Loss Center for helping me loss weight.

This place is a joke. I called and made the appointment for last week and I was told that fee is $ 180 which covers the consultation and 2 weeks of medication. I went in for my appointment and not only was the doctor late for over 30 minutes to my appointment but the consultation itself lasted for only 15 minutes. The doctor rushed through it, didn’t go into detail about the diet and looked as if he didn’t want to be there. I picked up one week of phentermine and one week shot of B12 and neither did nothing for me. Phen didn’t take away my cravings or do anything for my appetite and B12 gave me no energy whatsoever. I called and cancelled my 2nd appointment and told them I don’t want the medication for 2nd week and want a refund for that portion. They told me that supposedly the fee only covered the consultation which is not what I was initially told and it was the same person that told me that I cancelled my appointment with, Jonathan. I told him that this is not what I was told and he told me it’s on the receipt. I didn’t even get a receipt. He then told me he has to go and that there’s another client on the line. Basically they just take your money and don’t give a crap about you. Like I said, they are a joke.

After trying different diet plans and spending hundreds of dollars, I finally found this place through my co-​worker. I decided to give it a try and I’m glad to say that in two months I lost 17lbs. It made me more confident and comfortable with my figure. Finally I can wear my tight jeans and short skirts. My first visit with Dr. Kim was very informative and relaxed. Every visit is enjoyable. Jonathan and Emillio are wonderful and patiant. They make each visit enjoyable instead of a quick in and out task.
I’m glad I found this place because when I even calculate it’s lot cheaper than any other Diet programs.

Loved everything about this place. Doctor was informative and cautious. Jonathan was great and attentive week after week. The main goal is to change your lifestyle and that’s not easy. But if you can change your eating habits and take advantage of their wonderful resources this could be the life changing thing you need.
I cannot recommend this enough!

This place is amazing! I started going here in February with 40 lbs to lose. I got down my 40 lbs by May and continuing it. It’s definitely a lifestyle change and sticking to it was easy for me with the support of Jonathan and team! Thank you!

Unfortunately I’m not the guy that needed to lose 20lbs, I needed a lifestyle change and to lose over a 100.
I’m well on my way! The Program really works. Jonathan and Dr Kim make a tough endeavor into an easier one. 80lbs in six months, with another 40 to go, I have no doubt that I will hit and maintain my goal.
Thanks Guys!

On my 7th week with the program and I’ve lost 36lbs!
For me the diet was initially tough as I love carbs! (Who doesn’t?) but after day 3 it got easier and seeing the weight drop made it more encouraging.
Jonathan is sweet and awesome and will take good care of you.

I was at a plateau after getting back down to my prepregnancy weight. I decided to give AWLC at try, and I ended up losing 6lbs within the first week! After a month, I had lost about 15lbs. The best part about the program is that I kept the weight off! The staff is super friendly and is always accomodating. I’m so glad I found this place… I don’t know what I would have done without them!

This weight loss program really works. Dr. Kim is a great doctor. He really spends time with you at the initial consultation. Makes sure you are in good health to get on the program. Not to mention Jonathon (the wonderful nurse) who pretty much runs the office with the best personality ever spends so much time explaining everything else you need to know.

My neighbor referred me to this center after I noticed she had lost a lot of weight in what I considered to be a short amount of time. I had been struggling for 3 years before I got to this center to lose weight. Not only was I not losing but I was still gaining since my body was in perimenopausal shutdown (when you gain weight way too easily) That referral was literally a lifesaver and has been one of the BEST things that has happened to me. I lost 33 pounds in a little over 3 months and it was SUPER easy thanks to the weekly support of Jonathan and of course Dr. Kim. The best part is I did not have to kill myself exercising to accomplish this. Of course they will not tell you NOT to exercise, I just could not find time in my schedule to ever do it. My family doctor at Kaiser was shocked that I was able to lose weight since everything they had suggested had failed over the last 3 years. My Kaiser Dr.‘s last parting words to me prior to my weight loss were «well you are almost 50 now and that type of weight gain is pretty much expected». Well, it DOESN’T have to be that way ladies.

They have a great program and the results speak for themselves. For me 30lbs and counting after 9 weeks.
The program is not tedious like some can be. The positivity and encouragement from the staff is a big help as well. It has my highest recommendation!

This place will give you all the tools and support to lose the weight you have been trying to get rid of and at an amazing price. the staff is absolutely amazing and become like family. if you are trying to lose a lot or even a little weight, they can help everyone.
What I love the most though is that if I did have a bad week and did follow the plan I don’t get scolded for it, Jonathan simply goes ok well that’s life let’s nit get stuck in that cycle, this is what we need to do for next week and it makes me want to get back on track instead of feel bad about not doing well.
Also, they want you to reach your goals so you can move on to a life without having to see them every week and I think that is what makes them different. They are always talking about my goals and my life after them.
If you just listen to them you will succeed. The program is simple and really not that hard if you just try.
Cheaper than any other program out there and it works!!!

I had tried a few different things before trying this program, and nothing helped me shed the weight. This program has worked great for me, and so far I have lost a little over 20 lbs. I come in once a week for vitals, weigh in and advice on how to stay on track with good eating habits. Jonathan is always so pleasant and helpful! My experience has been nothing short of superior.

A great place to go when you need to shed the extra pounds. I bought the 8 week package on Groupon and I have been averaging a 2 lb. weight loss per week. The staff is great, especially Jonathan who takes my blood pressure weekly, reviews my weekly food intake and asks about exercise. The diet is basically high protein, low carb. The staff will tell you to exercise as there is no magic bullet when it comes to weight loss.

So I’m a tall guy who hides a lot of extra weight well. That said, I’m a horrible dieter. I’ve done HCG, fasting, phentermine, nutritionist, trainer… finally I find what works for me. I wanted to lose 45 lbs. I signed up for an 8 week program. Once a week I come in, meet with a dr. Or assistant, check my vitals, blood pressure, discuss the diet, get my B12 shot, week supply of appetite suppressant, discuss my progress one on one with staff and leave. The diet which is high protein, low carb, no sugar is incredibly easy and effective. No measuring, counting, weighing or balancing foods. Best of all, past the first two weeks, you stop craving sugar and carbs even when skipping the appetite suppressants. It all comes down to this; This diet works for me because I’m the kind if person who needs to see quick results. I started this diet 9 weeks ago and have been pretty good about sticking to it. I’ve lost 35 lbs and best part is, I’ve learned a new way to eat that I can sustain. The transition diet is not as low carb sugar free and even easier. Also I did work out 3 times a week, simple cardio 45 minutes on an elliptical nothing hardcore.
P. s. Shout out for the staff, Jonathan, Lily, Dr. Kim. I was so happy with your clinic, I signed up two of my flight attendant sisters. They would fly in on short notice weekly and you always found a way to fit them in. Thank you:-) both of my sisters are rapidly shedding weight, they look amazing, I’m so happy for them!
