Hiba Mahmood: This is a WONDERFUL place!! Been treating my mom, dad & little brother. The front desk team is amazing and makes you feel at home & helps you look forward to your next appointment. Dr.Stanford is beyond amazing I have no words she’s been helping me & my whole family since I was 16 I’m almost 22! Thank you for all the help you provide.🌹I will always refer family/friends over to MGH weight center

Terri Reinbach-Bucyk: I have tried for the last several months to get my prescription. It requires prior authorization but I can’t get the Doctor to make a call. I have called my insurance company, the company that makes the drug and the pharmacy. All have tried to contact the doctor but no answer. My insurance company has told me to find another weight loss clinic because they obviously don’t want my business

Reda Ibrahim: I started the process of the appointment scheduling / Registration was easy over the phone / very responsive team over the phone and even more by email / in clinic appointment and telemedicine was offered for convenience.So far so good! i will keep updating as i go through the experience.

K P C: Great place, great people, great work done here. One year here and couldn't be more happy about my decision.

Elide Canario: 131 Pounds gone , Happy patient here !!

Nicci: Absolutely terrible! I was very uncomfortable with the psych provider I was made to see, (without my knowledge they switched me from my original to a new one). After calling and learning that I waited 20mins while the receptionist tried to figure out how to book my appointment and failed, I informed Tim Darling I would like a new psych provider. The only reason he could give me for NOT doing it was "we have other providers but like you to stay with whoever you see first." Well tim, this isn't the person I saw first and I am uncomfortable with her. He had her contact me 2 days later to schedule an appointment for me since reception screwed up, awkward. When I called back to say this to him he became very argumentative and said I could make an appointment but it had to be with her. I called the patient liason, they reached out to the center. As of Wednesday, today, liason hadn't heard a response from weight center. I received a certified letter today, sent this past Monday, from Tim Darling, that I was not a "good surgical candidate". Mind you I have yet to have seen a medical professional there, nor a dietician, and they have recommendations from my PCP and another bariatric professional at MGH who determined this surgery is medically necessary and I am a prime candidate. Tim does not like anyone asking questions or explanations, treats patient very disrespectfully.

Nick Huber: Jill, Melissa, and Michelle are awesome dietitians! Great place to get phenomenal guidance.

Sharon Marchand: I learned about Dignity Weight Center from a friend and it was just what I needed. I am a 71 year old woman who has had her share of ups and down weight loss and gain from prescriptions, Weight Watcher(which was the most successful), Atkins, and many other Fad diets. Dignity offered a one on one weekly session that helped me stay focused on my weight loss goal and attitude toward weight loss and food prep.Jenna Moscarelli has become a mentor and a friend over these last 11 months. I looked forward to our sessions. Jenna's weekly meetings helped me to keep myself accountable for food choices and activities as well as offering nutrition guides and weekly recipes. Having made a commitment to logging my daily food and activities Jenna was always able to listen and offer support when I encountered many stressful life situations over our time together. She introduced me to many foods and substitutions that I had never heard of that helped me to broaden my nutritional food awareness (which was very limited.)In less than a year I lost 20 pounds and have managed to make several food choices, exercising at the YMCA, self care and sleep routines a part of my daily life. I don't feel like I am on ANY kind of diet but on a path to continued healthy living.I am fortunate to have longevity genes in my family and my yearly exams and blood work are all excellent, so I look forward to many more years to enjoy my life traveling and spending time with my grandchildren and great grand-daughter.Thank you Dignity and Jenna for your support!!PS. Jenna - Wishing you the best life has to offer as you continue with your wedding plans. You are an awesome person/mentor whom I've had the pleasure of spending time with.

Kaylee Perry: Saleema has been wonderful to work with, she has taught me so much and has been a kind and endlessly knowledgeable resource in my journey. I have already lost 10-15 pounds and feel so much better physically and mentally!

susanr883: When I began this journey I was at a loss because I was injured, depressed, unable to exercise and using food as a coping mechanism. I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to lose weight without movement. With DWL’s program I lost 23 pounds and that was without exercise! I have now had the corrective surgery I needed and can finally move! Now armed with the dietary tools I’ve acquired through DWL I’m ready to continue my weight loss journey in a better frame of mind knowing it really can be done! I would highly recommend this program to anyone. It’s not a diet. It’s a whole being lifestyle change.

Reneth Mateo: Great Clinic and very professional people

Russ Badessa: Starting with my first visit with Dignity Weight Center, which included Dr. Omar and Physician’s Assistant Lianna D’Amore, I was positively impressed with their approach. They presented the potential benefits of working with Dignity Weight Center and answered all my questions. It was never a hard sell style, but always an encouraging, consultative approach: both in what they presented and in their answers to my questions. I signed up for weekly tele-video visits and since I’ve lost 14 pounds, reinforced some things I already knew about diet and nutrition and learned several important things I was unaware of: e.g. post meal insulin spikes and how to better manage them, as well as an introduction to the use of a free smartphone app that helped me track what & when I was eating in my meals and snacks.My weekly Monday morning visits with PA Lianna help me start each week since last early October, reviewing my progress, tracking my goals and kicking off the week with a positive outlook. Each week we tackled a given meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and then went on to review the more technical aspects of good nutrition and diet at the ingredient and macro level. I love the fact that each meeting is also followed up with an email from Lianna including a recap of what I’d like to focus on in the upcoming week. Dignity Weight Center’s approach, Lianna’s specifically, is always consultative & never judgmental. Each weekly visit is an encouraging & educational mix of interpersonal pleasantries and factual, scientific & medical advice, information and written resources. The materials presented in our visits are always forwarded to me post-visit for my continued reference. I have found such resources as meal-planning, actual recipes, exercise and nutritional info quite valuable in my efforts to manage my weight and meals.I am very happy I came upon Dignity Weight Center, and I would highly recommend it & Lianna, to anyone seeking guidance and real help in achieving their weight management goals…all done with a great deal of Dignity!Russ Badessa

H Wright Karlson: Working with the Dignity Weight Center has been incredibly positive. When I first found information about the Center online the mission and approach resonated with me, but I had no idea how how much my understanding of what and how I eat would shift and how much better I would feel physically and emotionally. I have been thoroughly impressed by the center's staff and their personal attention to my needs and ability to apply their expertise (shout out to Lianna) and helping to empower me. There is not doubt in my mind that working with Dignity Weight Center has been one of the best choices I have made for myself. If you are considering working with the center I encourage you to take the leap. You will thank yourself and your future self will be so much better for it.

Heather Bradbury: I joined Dignity Weight Loss in September of 2022. My friend told me she was trying it. Together, we had tried and failed every diet. We both needed to lose over 100 lbs. and both, were desperate for help. We loved the idea of it not being a traditional "diet" and delving into our health from a scientific/medical point of view. We acknowledged that we also needed support in working through this process emotionally, as well as physically.It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I feel like I finally made a conscious choice to take care of me. After years of taking care of my family, friends, coworkers, etc., burring the wick at both ends, I came to the conclusion that in order for me to keep on living, I needed a change.When I tell friends about my experience with Dignity, people are always eager to here the stats, OK, what is it, low carb? calorie counting? keto? It's not really something you can wrap up in a few sentences. We are all different. As when you go to the doctor, what your doctor recommends for you, may not be the same as your friend. People mostly just want to hear the "quick fix" kind of story and don't necessarily want to put in the emotional work, if that makes sense? Some are also intimidated by the weekly counselling portion. Honestly, that's my favorite part. It's accountability and direction like I've never had before. If something isn't working, your counselor is there to help you figure it out. You're not alone. You will be working on yourself and it isn't always easy. However, you have support; someone there to teach you how to get over the hurdles.I recently hit losing 40 lbs. To put that into perspective, that's the approximate size of a tire. I feel like a new person. My friend lost over 50 lbs. so far. We haven't felt this good in 20 years. I am so thankful I found Dignity Weight Loss, ESPECIALLY during the holidays. I'm here to tell you, change is possible. I wish, not only overweight people, could find Dignity, but everyone could join as a preventative program so people don't get to where I was. I've learned so much in these past few months.I recommend joining Dignity. There are no gimmicks, no crazy user fees, just your insurance (copay), like you're going to any other doctor. It's not overwhelming and they're not judgmental. They're kind and understanding. Joining is a transitional period; think of it as baby steps, each week, towards finding a better feeling you. I know it seems impossible, but I'm here to tell you that it is possible. I too still have got a long way to go but I'm so thankful for my PA, Lianna and the help Dignity has given me. Give them a call!

Jordon Chan: The Dignity Clinic has been a welcoming experience for me, I was looking for services in Boston to help me maintain my health as a new foreign worker - Dr. Omar Haque and his team were quick to answer my questions and keeping me accountable during my sessions. I recommend anyone to contact them directly and see what they can do for you, they are extremely accommodating to help you reach your health goals

Jereille Acibar: Great program and had a great services. I will recommend it my friends, family and colleagues. 💕

loida bunso: Highly recommended!

mark leonard Rivera: Life changing program. Highly recommended... :)

Ehmzie Krammy: Highly recommended..

Shaimayn Wall: I’m beyond grateful for stumbling across Dignity Weight Center. I finally feel hopeful about my physical, but most importantly my mental health. Saleema John, PA-C is the highlight of my week with her empathetic and medical approach. I only wish I had found her years ago.I highly recommend Dr. Omar and Saleema to anyone that needs a non-judgmental approach to this journey.

Renee Busby: Having someone to be accountable to that has no judgement is wonderful! Foods and how they work in your body is explained where they are easily understood and doable. I have done many weightloss programs, this isn't one of them. This is a way of life.

Alice Kelly: Jenna is my weight loss coach! She is caring compassionate and understanding! I would recommend this clinic to anyone who needs to loss weight the right way and I have kept off the weight from day one I have over 40 pounds and still losing!

James Flaherty: This program is great! It's more than a simple weight-loss program, it takes your whole medical picture into account. I told Adrian (my Dignity Coach) that I have Type II Diabetes and my goal was to make a few changes that would pay off with weight loss and bring down my A1C. At my next check up, my A1C had plummeted to a 6.9, the first time it was below 7.0 since being diagnosed. The pounds were slowly melting away as well. I also learned a lot, mostly foods that I thought were healthier were not. I haven't had cereal in a year-and-a-half, and I don't miss it. It's all sugar and carbs. The big take-away from Dignity was making better choices, reading ingredients (check for sugar), and intermittent fasting (last meal before 7PM). A shout-out also to Ally (my Dignity Coach after Adrian went on maternity leave). Both Adrain and Ally were awesome!

Kim Okonis: This program has changed my life! I no longer focus on calorie counting and have learned to embrace intuitive eating. My PA Sarah is incredible - compassionate, supportive and so very smart! I look forward to our weekly calls. I am losing weight but the bigger change is my relationship with food. I highly recommend this program!
