A girls best friend

by Mary Pavlovsky

I've had nothing but amazing results at Pacific Rejuvenation Medical/ Weekend Weight Loss Medical Clinic - I started this program two weeks ago and I have lost 7 lbs. I have about 30 pounds until my goal weight, and feel confident that I can actually go past it. I like the staff there and can't imagine anyone having any issues with them. They treat you with great respect and go out of their way to make you happy. They also have a variety of programs to suit your needs. They really do see overweight as a medical problem with real solutions. I think the biggest part of success here is asking all of the questions you can, even if they seem insignificant. They are located at West Hills Medical Plaza 7230 Medical Center Drive #320 818 518-5880. Mary Pavlovsky.

Ultrasonic Lipo Works

by BrentBecca

Now my experience has been delightful. The entire staff rocks. I love the fact that they offer so many options. I have read the reviews and have my own personal feelings about the practice. I do think that coming to the office on the weekends is not the best as it is busy. I don't think it's the staffs fault but I know many patients come without appointments and the staff tries to work them in. I know this is true as my girlfirend does it all the time. I always feel bad when she does it, but Rosa always seems to work her in. I do appreciate all they have personally done for me and my friends. I have four other friends coming including my girlfriend. The prices are reasonable. I can say that I know if your looking for a quick fix, meaning looking to get " phentermine' this place is not for you. They actually make you see a behaviorist, which makes sense, but it was not for me. That is why, I did the ultrasonic lipo and optifast. It was simple and lost my belly in 8 weeks.

Changed my life

by hostesswithdamostess

My experience here is continually better. The doctors are attentive and involved. I spent an entire hour with a doctor while she just gave me advice and informed me on my current health status, she genuinely discussed my health with me and never seemed rushed, gave me a great recommendation for a gynecologist,suggested a detox to jump start my weight loss which worked . They give realistic workout plans, and the entire staff is friendly and committed. I feel like they have really engaged and sincerely care about my progression. I love the lipotropic injections and have tried the lipo laser and it is absolutely life changing. If you come here and are diligent about the progression of your health, the staff here will back you up and recommend all of the right things.

Can't believe this place is in business

by morganmorganmorgan

I wish there were an option for zero stars. First, the address for the Beverly Hills location on Lifebooker is wrong, but when I called for my appointment, nobody asked me if I knew the address (oh, and when someone answers the phone with the most generic "doctor's office", go with your gut instinct and be suspicious). I didn't get any kind of confirmation call the day before that would have informed me of the location. I show up early at the wrong location, where I'm told they've never even heard of this place. I go online to the site, call the number, and find out the place has moved. Ok, these things happen when one redeems a deal months later. No worries. So I call, find out the other location (even though I've just paid for valet parking), and go to the building. The doctor's name and clinic are listed nowhere on any directories, and nobody on the phone had bothered to tell me what suite to go to. So I call AGAIN and find the suite number. I told the phone operator ("doctor's office") how upset I was, and that I expected at least my parking to be taken care of. I'm told "I'll be taken care of inside".

I finally get inside, and am even more dismayed to find horrible grammatical and spelling errors in the pamphlets I'm given- did I mention this doctor just rents some spaces in a GYNO office? Yes, a gyno office. "Are you here to have your vaj checked or lose some weight?"

Nobody inside has any idea what I'm talking about regarding my reimbursement for parking. I call infuriated after my appointment and got ahold of the actual doctor (none of the 7 appointments I've had are with a doctor, by the way, though I was told I'd meet him after my third session). The doctor promised me a refund AND 7 extra shots, which was enough to placate me and make me a happy customer. However... the next two times I went, the people still had no idea what I was talking about.

So back to this first time- essentially the girl sticks a needle in me and then asks when I'd like to schedule my next one. No information about what I should expect, no suggestions, nothing. I had to ASK for the aforementioned grammatically-disastrous literature.

Oh- by the way, a sulfa allergy makes the normal diet shots impossible, and they have to mix a special one for those of us with allergies. At every single appointment, I had to remind the ladies I had an allergy. Most of those times, she said, "OH! Right." and put down the needle she was holding to get another one. Yeah. Very safe- I'm surprised I didn't die, actually.

So, of course I don't have my refund yet. But let's discuss the most recent appointment. I get a voicemail the day before my appointment (the first time this has happened) letting me know that the appointment time is actually for a time when the office is closed. Hm. How did I get that appointment, I ask? Why was I scheduled for this time? I asked this about 25 times during the call when I called back, and the only answer I receive is, "Look, this is a courtesy call for you. We already gave you 7 free shots." Yes, what a courtesy- letting me know you won't even be there. I can't thank you enough- because this is the final straw.

And, despite the fact that I work out 5 days a week, I'm seeing no results. Not worth it. I'm not even going to use my free ones. And I'm going to push hard for that refund I was promised.

Note that most of the 5-star reviews are similarly grammatically challenged....

Overall wonderful experience

by lolobecauselo

Now to all those women looking for that quick fix, the doctors and staff in this office and the most professional people I have interacted with. Dr. Nasim was a little rough around the edges, very friendly man, but just does not spend the time like Dr. Farkas, Dr. Hurvitz or Dr. T. Elsie the physician assistant is remarkable and knows her stuff. This lady has lots of knowledge and experience. After speaking to her in length, she and I actuall go to same Dr. for other issues. What a some world this is. The back office staff is nice and the RN that works in the office is one of the best nurses ever. This is my second time I have seen her, my first time was when I was at West Hills Hospital due to a heart attack that I had three years ago. Dr.Cohen was my doctor and she was my nurse. It made me feel very comfortable knowing she would be one of the providers managing my weight loss.I have alot of weight to lose and have a difficult challenge ahead of me. I many health issues from high blood pressure, diabetes and depression. I been seeing them for 1 month and the challenge is hard, I do struggle but I do feel, like I have a team of individuals that care. I am currenlty following a low calorie diet that was given to me by Dr. Hurvitz. I just started walking due to the motivation that Eddie in office gave me. I will be continue to write about my experience in the office. I want to be like Chelsy in office, who lost 100 pounds in 6 months, even though I know It will be harder for me, but I can take 1 step at a time.
