Inland Empire Weight Loss

Very Nice Staff & Office. Dr. Knopke is the Very Best at finding a program that fits your needs! I would highly recommend him & there office.

I enrolled in the program in 2013. I needed to do something because i was obese with high cholesterol and now pre-​diabetic. Dr Knopke is the first doctor that food can be an addiction and i need to address that first. I had my skepticism at first because there was bars and shakes involved. Dr Knopke used it as a recommendation, but knowing what is at stake, an investment now will pay dividends if i follow the program. So i was restricted to 1700 calories and 30 minutes of activity. So i stayed with the program bulk if it is 8 months. When i started i weighed 193lbs, BMI is 34, HgBA1C is 6, and cholesterol of 200. After 6 months I was at 150, BMI 26, HgbA1C 5.4 and a cholesterol of 85. I ran my first 5k, then 10k and Half Marathon. Now i am training for my first full marathon.
Dr Knopke and his staff are great, courteous and professional. LET ME BE CLEAR. This is not a magic program that will make weight go away. This worked because i did my part by taking responsibility for myself, changing my eating habits and staying active. Right now I am on the maintenance phase checking in every 6 months. I would recommend Dr Knopke and his staff highly because of their knowledge and care. As long as you do your part it will be successful.

THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I came here to get started on appetite suppressants and protein shakes in an effort to lose weight. I had doctor Carl Knopke, at first the visit seemed to go fine and pleasant. However apparently, I did not meet any of the criteria to have the appetite suppressants! Even though my BMI is well over 26!!! SO basically I had wasted $ 130 on this supposed consultation for nothing!!! Just to have this doctor take one look at me and say I should pretty much exercise and stick to trying their protein shakes! On top of that the doctor insisted that I take some lab work even though I have NO history of diabetes, hypertension, or cholesterol abnormalities! I’m only 22!!! The lab work alone is 40 – 50 bucks!!! I refused to take the lab work and checked out immediately! I paid 130 for NOTHING!!! I didn’t walk with anything !!! literally NOTHING! Not a simple pamphlet, diet worksheet or medications!!! Seriously NOTHING!!! Please don’t go to this place unless you have money to waste for useless exams and consultants that cost $ 130!!!

The worst experience with a medical «professional» that I have ever had. The initial intake interview lasted a total of about 15 minutes. A quick history a few min to chat and done. I actually went to the second appt hoping for a better encounter. Wow, what a bust. After over 2 ½+ hours I just ended up walking out!
Then I gave a try of getting the first appointment at 700AM. Same total lack of professionalism. The office staff didn’t show up until 715 and then they didn’t know when or if the doctor would show up!
ONLY GO TO THIS DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON YOUR HANDS AND DO NOT MIND SPENDING IT SITTING AROUND AN OFFICE STAFFED BY LESS THAN PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.
