I had an incredible experience working with Dr. Hessel. What stood out to me the most was the personalized approach to my health. I appreciated the variety of options provided to aid my weight loss journey, including recommendations for medication when necessary. Thanks to this program, I lost 23 pounds! This flexibility allowed me to find the strategies that fit my lifestyle best. As a result, I gained more confidence in my clothes, became excited about shopping, and started working out 3 to 4 times a week, incorporating weights to maintain muscle. The supportive environment and expert guidance from Dr. Hessel truly made a significant difference in my health and well-being!

I asked Dr Hessel on many occasions about severe pain, unexplained weight gain, and related issues. She was very dismissive, and said no matter what I had she would just give me birth control, so it didn't matter. I switched providers, and my new doctor immediately took me seriously, got me tested and recommended surgery. The surgery was very successful, completely took care of the pain, and I lost 25 pounds (with no change in diet or exercise) and am a healthy weight. I wish I had those years of my life back. It felt amazing to finally be listened to and taken seriously.
