Patient Reviews
Jun 12, 2019
I lost approximately 65 pounds through Healthy Weight 4 Me. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Shields and her staff. They are truly concerned with helping you lose weight and be able to keep it off long term. They do not push weight loss pills on you, like so many "weight loss clinics", however Dr. Shields will prescribe from a variety of different medications if warranted and requested. She is the only CERTIFIED weight loss doctor in Mobile. The program is low-carb (not no-carb) but she and her staff teach you to make it a sustainable lifestyle without feeling deprived. I had tried so many programs in the past, having struggled with my weight my entire adult life. I have now kept off the weight I list through Healthy Weight 4 Me for over a year. I highly recommend Dr. Shields and her staff.
