I have been going here for years and couldn't be happier with my results. I will be a life long customer to check in and make sure I stay on track. Dr. Primack and staff cares about helping you reach your goals, and sets you up on the right path for success.

If you want to lose some weight and get healthier, SWLC may be a great option, it worked for me. I am a male in my mid 50s, and Dr. Primack, his staff and the program did the trick. I lost over 30lbs, hitting my target. I am no longer on high blood pressure medicine, dropped four inches off my waist and feel twenty years younger. Thank you Dr. Primack and the team. I love the food BTW.

I have been with Dr. Z and Scottsdale Weight Loss Center (or I should say they've been with me) for over a year. I say that because they make me feel like I have a team. It's the same old cliche, "l have tried every diet/exercise program out there", for 40 plus years. But my journey was a completely different experience this time. If something didn't work for me, Dr Z always had another option to offer.

To date I have lost 49 pounds, and have gone passed my goal. (Started as size 14, I'm wearing 4's now) I'm still losing because my body is loving this way of life. I've had both knees replaced, and a spinal surgery years ago, I feel 20 years younger with all that weight gone, not to mention the energy I have! Thank you Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, Dr. Z and a special hugs for Page, Chauna Chino Valley, Arizona

I highly recommend Scottsdale Weight Loss Center. Dr. Premack is the very best doctor I have ever experienced in my entire life! He always takes his time with me, listens to my concerns about my health, provides feedback on findings from my primary doctor, offers intelligent approaches of incorporating healthy habits for eating and nutrition. Bottom line: He is consistently positive and cares about my health.

The staff is also very positive and professional including the front desk personnel, nurses, and assistants. At Scottsdale Weight Loss Center there is a very deliberate team approach. I feel very fortunate to feel as a patient I am on a team that I trust and is dedicated to helping me achieve my goals of learning and working towards be healthy.

Love this place. Dr. Primack is patient & kind. He listens (even when I have so much to say). Always has a tip or challenge for me at my appt. and then f/u at our next Appt. The plan works, I am seeing results and am motivated to meet my weight loss goals. Already my blood pressure & heart rate are in the range it should be! Results!

I am a success story. I went through the program for six months and lost 44 lbs. Dr. Primack and his assistant, Martha, and the staff were incredibly supportive and professional. After battling a pandemic weight gain, I attempted every new diet program: fasting, keto, hormonal ( whatever that means), and so on. I came to the program looking for some sound essential accountability and guidance to reset my body.

I am now in the best shape ever. No gimmicks! The initial complete meal replacement program worked for me. The results came fast and gave encouragement to stick with it. I was never starved. I was seen every week for weight in and vital signs and met the doctor every other week. The cost of the food, which compares with any other program, was pretty reasonable. In addition, the office is pretty efficient, so the visits were short and on time. We have a long-term plan to help keep me on track. Thank you for all your help!

Dr. DeGuzman is caring and kind. The center is clean and the staff is very helpful, especially Heather. Dr. DeGuzman really wants to help me to succeed. He will do everything with in reason to ensure my success. The center is professional and it does not have contracts nor does it feel "Salesmanship-ish". I am very happy and comfortable to recommend Scottsdale Weight loss Center to anyone! ( I used the Biltmore location.)

I am a fan of Scottsdale Weight Loss Center- in Scottsdale! I have been associated with them for the last 4+ years, and they are so gracious and caring. It's a process and modification to lose weight, and I really feel empowered by the staff and doctors who support my journey at my pace and who do not judge if I take a wrong turn now and again! I am grateful I found a place that is proactive in helping me feel and look great and focus on better health and disease prevention.

I lost 107 pounds with the help of Dr. Craig Primack, and SWLC. They are amazing. They take the time to interview you at the beginning to get to the root of the issue. You will have professional medical attention, and a positive level of accountability. It is science. They have written an amazing book called Chasing Diets, that you should read, I have referred at least a half a dozen people over to SWLC, and they have all gotten good results. This has literally changed my life, I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago. Total new lease on life.

Everyone there is helpful and encouraging. They are all clearly engaged in the welfare of their customers and that helps us stick to our goals. Dr Primack has great motivating suggestions for when the going gets tough. And celebrates our successes. I highly recommend this business.

Dr Craig Primack is wonderful, I trust him and he really honestly cares about each one of his patient's. He knows EVERYTHING about anything pertaining to diet and weight loss and wants to help everyone just get healthy. That is really what happens when you lose weight, you get healthier. Your blood pressure goes down, your cholesterol, etc and you feel better.

Instead of trying to lose weight on your own again, forget it, make an appointment with Dr Primack, you will feel so good after just talking to him and the tools he gives you and all the support you will receive (classes) makes all the difference in the world!

Today I am thankful for loosing 60 lbs. I started on Dec 16, 2020 before the holidays. I gave up a lot of what I loved at the time, but I haven't looked back. This was the BIGGEST journey I have ever taken. I. started at 200 lbs. For those that don't know me in-person I am 5'2, so 200 lbs is a lot for a vertically challenged person. My journey is not over yet.

I am hoping to lose an additional 5 lbs and then learn to maintain my weight from there. Obesity is a disease that you live with for life (like any other disease) and should be treated with the same importance. As well as watching what you eat, exercising, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Ziltzer at Scottsdale Weightloss hasn't just helped me lose weight, he helped me see myself in a different light. If anyone needs any inspiration or encouragement here it is.

So thankful for accepting the help of Scottsdale weight loss center to help me on my lifestyle changes. As a 30+ year dieter and registered nurse, I am astounded at the abundance of knowledge and information shared by Dr Ziltzer and team. This journey will not be easy but it's absolutely attainable as the goal is clear. Knowledge is power.

The place has slid into chaos. Staff barely go through the motions to provide services contracted for and owners allow the staff to run the show. Drama queens without any patient service training or oversight. Can't get meds, replacement food, tips on why it's not working and barely even recognize you're there. No explanation or checking in how plan is working out for patient, making necessary adjustments.

Staff are checked out. It's all about them. Uncaring about the people in their practice. I'm making a Board complaint. They don't wear protective masks, don't prescribe meds when needed and scheduled, can't get replacement supplies and absolutely do not care if they're even open the hours posted and on their phone line. I spent hours talking to Dr. Zilzer to improve this.

He initially agreed and thanked me for the feedback then allowed staff to retaliate against me for making the complaint. Got no where. And wasted my time in consultation. It seems his staff train and supervise him, instead of the other way around. Another "absentee" owner! Why bother to go there at all when they cannot provide even the basics of their own program?

In 11 days I have lost 22 lbs. I shut my mouth and followed the program. I go to the gym every day, watch the videos, attend the weekly meetings and study their book "Chasing Diets". My Physician, Dr Robert Ziltzer is an athlete and has a background working with diabetes. My blood sugar is down 50% to 100 fasting and I now take half the diabetes medicine.

" I go to the Center at the Biltmore. Everyone is kind and sympathetic. Given the pandemic, I am not traveling or eating in restaurants- this is a perfect time to concentrate on my health. I am losing weight consistently but not too quickly to be healthy. I am not hungry, not feeling "deprived" in any way. Very impressed. "

I celebrated my 1 year weight loss journey on March 30th by completing a 100 mile mountain bike ride. Thanks to Dr. Primack and his staff for helping me lose 40 pounds and get into the best shape of my adult life! Thank you Dr. Primack!

I can't stop telling people about the program that actually really really works and doesn't torture you. I cannot say enough. Four inches off my waist and dropping and I haven't been hungry or miserable once. I am on the food only plan. Don't think I personally could do supplements since I don't care for sweets. However the food only program has done it

I enrolled in Scottsdale weight loss center approx. 30 weeks ago, and have lost 30 pounds. What I am most proud of is I reduced my use of Lantus Insulin from 110 units daily down to 25 units each day. My A1C level went down from 7.0 to 6.1 Dr. De Guzman and I have a new goal of getting completely off of insulin in the next 90 days!

I love SWLC! I see Dr. de Guzman and he is awesome. Always has positive things to say to me at my visits. The Medical Assistants (Brooke and Melissa for me primarily) have all been wonderful. I originally set up a Consult with Angela, who is such a kind-hearted person and took the time to listen and understand what I needed to be successful. Everyone is always friendly and helpful in any way they can be! Can't wait to meet more weightloss goals with this team!

I can't believe that this clinic doesn't have any reviews yet! Though the program isn't inexpensive, you really do get a good value for your money here. They really focus on the "whys" and teach you how to lose weight in a healthy way and change bad habits. All of the classes they offer have a really supportive atmosphere too, which was huge for me.

Everyone in the clinic is so kind and supportive too- huge bonus! I'm sad to see Melissa go, but I'm confident that the new MA will be just as wonderful. Doctor De Guzman is great and always helpful with any questions I've had. Best money I've spent on myself in a long time!
