Staff is rude and should obtain training on how to better communicate with patients. I had an appointment which was confirmed by text but upon arrival the staff said I did not have a appointment and refused to have the doctor see me.

I absolutely love this facility! the staff is always so polite, and the atmosphere is always so calm and comfortable. Dr. Lucy goes above and beyond for her patients! I couldn't be happier with the results that are showing. Losing weight is a struggle, but with the support of the Long Island Weight Loss Institute you can achieve the goals you set for yourself!

Dr. Lucy is my doctor at LIWL center and I couldn't be happier. Because of her, she has helped me and coached me with my weight loss and she is the reason I finally have the confidence I do today. At each appointment we discuss my weekly routines on how I stay consistent with my weight loss, exercise routines, and my medications. If it weren't for Dr. Lucy I don't know where I would be today.

I cannot THANK HER ENOUGH for being so professional, kind, attentive and understanding in her position at LIWL. So Dr. Lucy, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are amazing and You are the best! Thank you for being you!

Honestly, one of the best decisions my mother and I have ever made! Seeing Dr. G has changed our lives forever. We went in with drive and motivation, but Dr. G and his incredible team have really changed our lives for the better. Thank you for all you guys do! 100/10 would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

I have been a patient since they had their facility in Westbury. Their plans are reasonable and effective and I was always successful on the program compared to many others out there. If you follow the plan you will lose weight. Dr. G is very professional, informative and genuinely cares about his patients' health and well being.

Had my first and last appointment today. I waited around 40 minutes no big deal. They finally called me took my pluse blood pressure then wanted to weight me.she said take your shoes and socks off, I said I have back problems that I wouldn't be able too. She said everytime I come there u would have too. I said I truly can't, my wife helps me with that.

She said ok bye. I told my wife let's go she said what happened I told her she wanted to speak to Dr. The receptionist said ok went back left me wife standing there for 10 nobody came back so we left. I know it's not a pain clinic but you should show a little sympathy.

NOT HAPPY. CHARGE U A CO PAY PLUS $20 TO GET WEIGHTED! IN MY OPINION THE PLACE IS A SCAM & PRESCRIBED ME VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS DRUGS. I was hoping this place was genuine and real. Waste of money and time. The fact is diet and exercise are the answer.

This place is definitely a huge scam. After they make you feel great and that you can loose weight easily and healthy, they have the doctor (extremely unprofessional if you ask me- and I work for a doctor!) present "plans" to you which are not cheap! The plans basically consist of paying hundreds of dollars a month for protein shakes. They also recommend vitamin immunizations which is an additional hundred of dollars.

Clearly you can get these vitamins (B12) at your local drug store for $10! If you are going to go this route, you are better off paying less than $50 a month and joining weight watchers. It is basically the same thing, but you can actually eat! After visiting several doctors I decided to try weight watchers and I am honestly seeing results! I am down 10 lbs in 3 weeks! Try weight watchers instead! Would NOT recommend this place, its just another scam.

Besides the fact that this program works I've lost over 40 lbs since June without feeling deprived at all. Dr G is a teacher, psychiatrist and explains how and why. He sits with you and explains the whole process with you week to week. He even gives you mental exercises that really makes you think of the reason for weight gain. You never feel rushed because he really cares about not only the weight loss but more importantly your overall health.

I was recommended to him by a client of ours who is also a doctor and it was the best advise I've gotten ever. The only thing that kills me is I have to keep buying new clothes lol. If you need to lose weight and get healthy go for a consultation you will be pleasently surprised. Also the staff is friendly and supportive.
