Clearwater Family Practice: Lara Cesar A

I've been going to the St Pete location and couldn't be happier. The MA's Elizabeth and Nelly are super. They really pay attention to my needs and help me through the ups and downs of my weight loss. They really care about me and my health. If you are considering a weight loss program I highly recommend Dr Lara and the St Pete location. You won't regret it.

During covid I gained a lot of weight. I went up from 230 to 260 lbs. My cholesterol and triglycerides were off the charts. I opted for the 90 day weight loss program and I went all the way down to 203 lbs. By the middle of January 2022. Now it is May and I am still maintaining my weight between 202 and 205 lbs. I am an avid weightlifter so a lot of my weight is muscle mass.

I get compliments everywhere I go about how great I look now. I was embarrassed to take my shirt off at the beach before, but now I am confident I'm about the way I look. If you are really serious about losing weight this is the place to go Dr Lara's program is truly amazing. I have a new lease on life now!

I bought the 8 week green laser treatment. I honestly wasnt expecting anything and thought it was just a marketing scheme. I was willing to give it a go though. I wanted to see how the laser itself worked, so for those 8 weeks I did not work out any more than usual. I Did try to follow their diet guides, but I'll admit I wasnt 100% faithful to the diet guide over those weeks.

Even with that being said, I lost 30lbs and am 5in thinner along the thickest part of my abdomen. If I had been more strict and included exercise alongside the treatment, I think It could have been much more. Over the entirety of my body, about 18in were lost if you add up the different sections measured. I'll be going back for another 8 week treatment soon, and this time, now that I know the laser itself has a real effect, I'll add in the strict diet and exercise to work alongside the treatment. Looking forward to those results next!

Dr. Lara and his St. Petersburg staff are so supportive. I never imagined that this would work the way it has for me. I am close to my goal weight and feel terrific! Thank you Dr. Lara for giving me the tools I needed for success. Your program is fantastic. Highly recommend.

The program is great and the people at the St Pete office are so nice and helpful all the time! Nelly is the person who usually does our weekly check, including weigh-ins and vitals check. She always greets us by name and talks with us about how our week has been going. She has a ton of energy and great tips for weight loss success. Her positive attitude is very encouraging.

Who knew that stepping on a scale would be fun?! I have had a lot of success with the weight loss program due to the support and professionalism of everyone at the St Pete office!

I have lost significant weight because of the knowledge and encouragement given to me from the St. Petersburg office. I highly recommend this Program. Side note: Nelly is the best shot giver EVER!

Dr. Lara and his team are an amazing group of medical professionals. They are very helpful and courteous from start to finish. It is very apparent that they truly care about the health and well being of their patients. If you are skeptical about trying a weight loss clinic don't wait another day. Their results are incredible.

I'm a 53 year old male and and feel like a 20 year old again. My wife of 30 years is also happy and exclaims she found the man she married! Dr Lara is highly recommend and their staff is phenomenal!

I joined 2 years ago. Never received an orientation or onboarding, and the only time Dr. Lara met with me was on take your daughter (granddaughter) to work day and he dismissed every one of my concerns. Several thousands of my $$$ down the drain. No help, no support, no results.

I highly recommend Dr Lara and his staff in the St Pete office for their 12 week weight loss program! Any weight loss program is hard but Dr Lara's staff is super supportive and friendly. They listened to me and helped me tremendously through my weight loss journey. I've lost 16 pounds in 10 weeks which is awesome and I feel more healthy than ever. Thank you Dr Lara and staff. I couldn't have done it without you!

This is the best weight loss program I have ever attempted. The wonderful caring doctor and staff will help you on your journey. I have lost over 35 lbs on the 90 day program and am on week 4 of my sculpting. Do this for yourself. Turning 60 but still feeling 40 made me want to have a healthy body.

Excellent program and services for all those serious about their health and nutrition. I was skeptical at first but ended up seeing results in the stubborn areas and it was amazing! Lost 6inches collectively! The staff at the St. Pete office was great! Just wish I had the chance to meet and say thank you to Dr. Lara too. Also wish I had the chance to try the newer emerald as that was the technology I was originally interested in. Overall this was a lovely experience and program and would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend the St Pete office! Everyone is very nice and encouraging! Always take time to sit down and explain everything to me! In 5 weeks down 30lbs! My sciatica no longer bothers me on a daily basis! Looking forward to my next 5 weeks!

I love the team at Dr. Lara's office. They are so encouraging, supportive, and professional. I have no doubt I will make my goal with their help! Dr. Lara is kind, professional and focused on your well being both physical and mental! Kudos to these top professionals!

I highly recommend Dr. Lara and his team. I go to the St. Pete office weekly for my check ups and I love seeing Cindy, Katrina, and Nellie. What an amazing team/staff. They are always so friendly, caring, and encouraging and they always have a positive attitude while taking the time to really listen and provide support. And Dr. Lara is a very compassionate human and a weight loss genius!

I have been doing the 12 week weight loss program for 10 weeks now and have lost 37 lbs so far. If you follow the program, IT WORKS! I have not gained any weight since I have started and most of all, I have learned how to control my eating while making better choices and developing healthier habits for myself. I am so pleased with my results so far and I am looking forward to continuing the program and further becoming a healthier and better me.

Signed up & completed 12 week program. Not once did I see a doctor or nurse practitioner. Only lab techs and rn's see you here. After spending over $1,200 I expected at some point to see a doctor. Very disappointing.

I want to personally thank Dr. Lara & Kristy Heeter for all of their help & My weight loss success! I had a situation where when I stared the program I was in Town. I was going to return to Florida, but due to issues with my job I couldn't; I needed to lose weight, I was the heaviest I have ever been & knew I needed this program. As a result, Dr. Lara & Kristy have been helping me via phone. Yes, while I have not been in town for weigh in's & Visits.

They have been guiding me, always there for me, answering questions, & suggesting alternatives. I have been diligent by following the program, working out, weighing my self, & staying positive. This program truly works & can even work even out of the state! I love the fact that when I'm in town I'll return to office for visit, follow-up & weigh in. Also, when I'm out of town knowing they will be there for me, helping me & encouraging me means the world.

As a result I have lost 36 lbs. in 3 months. It is a lot of work & determination, but it feels so Amazing. I love waking up, being active & not limited because I'm so heavy. I have a whole new outlook and feel so wonderful! I still have about 20 more lbs to go, but am hopeful & looking forward to the future! My Knowing I can do it even if I'm not in the state is so Perfect for me.

They are so wonderful at Dr. Lara's office I wouldn't wanna go anywhere else & I am so very Grateful! They will work with you, guide you to fit your life as crazy as it may be & help you lose weight. If they can help me, they will be able help you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lara's for three months and have seen dramatic results. Not just with weight loss but with my perception of myself and my self worth. Dr. Lara goes beyond test results and gets to know his patients lifestyles, worries, goals and aspirations. When you are with the doctor you can tell his focus is entirely on you. The staff here is also wonderful, cheerful no matter the time of day. You can tell that all the employees really believe in the program and Dr. Lara's vision.
