Premier Physicians Weight Loss and Wellness

Love this place and highly recommend it. Did my own research on various topics and the results show that everything they said to me has even true. My friends ask me about the change in energy and how I handle my stress levels and I explain how this clinic has helped me. Maybe their assistance is not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me.

Update: After writing this review and contacting my insurance, the office manager Linda Lindscog contacted me to say they would be canceling my future appointments as all doctors operate the same in her office and would not be able to give me proper care. I asked if they all fat shamed and she said no but could not give me an answer as to why another doctor couldn’t treat me. Basically, I was taken out of their program because I made a negative and honest review and they are more concerned about that than about the unprofessional, fat shaming misconduct of their doctor. A formal complaint will be filed by my lawyer.
The fantastic news? I was referred to a real doctor in my program who wasn’t on the updated provider list who doesn’t practice pseudoscience. Blessing in disguise!
After the doctor told me about my hormonal imbalances due to PCOS, she told me I needed to do a 1400 calorie diet. I said that was unhealthy and unsustainable so she proceeded to fat shame me and tell me I «didn’t want it bad enough» if I couldn’t follow through. That is completely illogical based on what she said about my hormones and it’s unethical and dangerous to tell that to someone that with an ED, which was clearly stated on my intro packet.
There is plenty of research on the dangers of VLC diets and their unsustainably. I guess if you want a «quick fix» that won’t last more than a few months, this is your place. But if you want serious long-​term weight loss, I’d find a place that helps you build habits and encourage instead of break you down with pseudo-​science and fear-​mongering. Too bad this is the only place my insurance covers.

I’ve been going to Premier since September 2014 and I’ve lost 50 pounds. I could do better but I wasn’t consistent. I did take breaks, stop my meds and occasionally partake in bad eating habits. I’m happy with my results so far, I plan to work harder this time around. Dr. Erick is awesome; Nothing against the other Doctor’s. I would recommend this to anyone, the conversations and suggestions for better performance is actually motivating and very helpful. The staff is amazing, all the ladies in the office have a great attitude and are pros at giving shots (thank goodness, not a huge fan of needles)

Love the doctors, staff, flexible scheduling and most of all the wrap around support for this lifestyle journey. Thank you PP!

I am so glad I found this clinic. All the staff is super nice and very customer oriented! They remember your name as soon as you walk in n make u feel right at home. The treatments are very quick and they can get you in and out of there especially if you’re a busy mom or dad! Love all the Ladies I would strongly recommend their services!

My update a month later and five B12 shots later … I didn’t lose a single pound. I work out a good amount of time, I didn’t make much changes to my diet, but the B12 was supposed to improve my metabolism, so if it was true I’d lose some weight by now. Nope, never happened, am starting to get disappointed and discouraged.

Physicians and Staff are great at what they do. My wait time for the past 7 – 8 months has been no more than 5 mins. Staff accommodate my needs. I’m actually down to my last 10−15lbs. It’s tough but the support I get from the Team is welcoming, considering I’ve been bouncing around with my weightless efforts! (Habit) I’m so close to my own goal, then I begin to self sabotage. But like I said, the Team is there to help me pull through this! I have already recommended them to others. Yes, they are very knowledgeable.

GREAT! The people are wonderful — Thanks you guys!

I received a B12 injection and the assistant who gave it to me hit a nerve and it has been 2 months and my arm is still so sore. Every time I lift my arm I feel that shooting pain. Patient beware!

I have seeing Dr. Trippi on and off for over 10 years. I am not over weight in mist peoples minds but it’s the 5 –10 pounds that creep up that freak me out so when ever I see the scale start tipping the other way I can count on Dr. Trippi to get me back in line. She is an amazing doctor who actually cares and wants you to succeed and reach your goal weight no matter what that may be. The office staff is very professional and organized. Lisa is the office Mgr. give her a call.
I would recommend Dr. Trippi and her staff 10 times over! Good luck reaching your goals!

I have been in a lifelong battle with my weight. Two years ago at the age of 30, almost 400 lbs and facing several serious diseases and five prescription medications, I decided to have weight loss surgery. I changed my diet, exercised and managed to loose over 160lbs before my weight loss stalled for almost 6 months. That is when I sought the help of Premier Physicians. The doctors and staff are amazing. I always leave feeling encouraged and armed with the tools I need to reach my weight goals. I lost 19 lbs the first month and am continuing to see steady results. I would recommend Premier Physicians to anyone who needs a little guidance and aid in their weight management. (The ISOpure Protein powders are also some of my favorite.)

Ok, let’s get real: weight loss is pretty damn hard. I had gained a lot of weight due to different factors and had finally HAD IT. Luckily, my insurance (Teachers Health Trust) has a program that helps pay for the services at Premier Physicians Weight Loss. I decided to try it.
Fact: even with my insurance helping, this is still an expensive journey you will embark on. I had to pay $ 50 every two weeks for the visits, plus I had to buy the medication. But, that actually kind of motivated me more because I was like, «Damn, I’m paying for this, so I better stick to it.»
Let’s talk about the program. Every two weeks I saw Dr. Alana Mercer, who is really sweet and blunt and honest, and I appreciated that about her. You weigh in on what looks like a regular scale, but it is pretty much a fortune teller. The print out that comes out gives not only your weight, but your body fat percentage, the amount of water weight you are holding, your BMI, and how many calories you are burning at rest. I was amazed by that machine, and it’s pretty cool to track the info on it every two weeks.
Dr. Mercer prescribed me Phentermine to help with the weight loss. I started low on the 15 mg dose for a month, then upped it to 30 mg the second month. I also stopped in weekly to get B12/​fat burner shots, which I actually think helped more than the pills. I was on a strict 1000 calorie a day diet, but the combination of the pill and shot made it doable. I’m not saying this is easy, you really do need to put in your own effort. It’s not like the pill and shot just take all your fat away, but they do help facilitate it.
Results: I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. My BMI went from 25.2 down to 22, and my body fat percentage went from 36% down to 28%. It was amazing. I feel great and am more confident. I’ve been off the pills and shots for a month, and I’ve been able to maintain my weight.
Though I do not qualify for the pills anymore because I am now in a healthy BMI and body fat range, I think I might go back and buy a shot card to continue to get the B12 shots. I think those are the magic, right there.

I recently visited the clinic. The place itself is clean. The doctors are knowledgeable, the vibe is great, and the girls who work there are nice and helpful.
I expect great results with their program!

The staff are so friendly and always refer to me by name, which makes me feel like they are glad to have me as a guest!

I started one of the weight loss programs and found it to be very helpful. My doctor seemed to be very knowledgeable about weight loss. She recommended foods that contained nutrition which would help with my loss. The doctor as well as the staff was very patient and professional. I would definitely recommend Premier Physicians to anyone that maybe looking for a good weight loss program.

I too found this AMAZING group of people through a social deal. I have been overweight all my life and never had the willpower or motivation to follow through on trying to lose it. I never really tried «dieting.» After my initial visit with Dr. Evensen, he gave me the tools I needed to succeed! I bought the food scale, the fitbit pedometer and signed up for my MyFitnessPal to record my daily eating habits. I started on June 20, 2012, as of today (December 17, 2012) I am very proud to say I am down 52.6 pounds! Everyone is the office is amazing, the support is fantastic! I recommend this clinic to everyone who is ready to change their life for the better!

I started my weight-​loss program back in December, and I was always frustrated with the fact that I was carrying around 15 extra pounds. After meeting with Dr. Evensen, I was able to lose the 15 pounds comfortably. The staff is great and the doctors are very helpful. Everyone who works there is amazing! I have seen amazing results, and I have more energy than ever before. This is a great way to achieve your weight-​loss goals!

I came to the this clinic 3 months ago by way of a living social deal and I am very grateful I did, I am currently 30 Lbs lighter! Dr. Evensen and Dr. Trippi are very knowledgeable about weight loss and helped me to better understand my body and how to effectively lose weight. I love that there are no gimmicks, just solid doctors and solid medicine being practiced. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone having trouble losing weight it is completely worth it.
