I started to gain weight when I was in my late 20’s. By the time I hit my 30’s I was 300lbs and have been in the low 300’s for the past 25 years. By January of 2018 I had gained so much weight that my day to day activities became difficult. I had developed Diabetes and my knees were going. I was 54 and miserable. I had stopped exercising and pretty much had given up. The first major change I made was I stopped drinking Alcohol on January 2nd of 2018. I was so unhappy with myself that I started to notice I was drinking too much which lead to a poor diet and almost no exercising . Walking had become very difficult and stairs were even harder. I had avoided the doctor all together because I did not want to accept how big and unhealthy I had become. I finally had had enough and decided to go to my primary care physician who referred me toNOVA Physician Wellness Center. My Doctor told me they had a great weight loss program. I was skeptical because I had tried everything out there over the last 20 years from Nutri Systems, Optifast and Medifast, Weight Watchers, Atkins, The Gabriel Method,Dukan Diet, and the Fast Diet. I had some success but all the programs were short lived. On April 11, 2018 I made the dreaded trip to NOVA Physician wellness’s office to face the Music. When I stepped on the scale I was horrified that it read 414 lbs. Based on my age of 54 and my overall health, Dr. Chaudhary and her team tailored a diet plan exclusively for me. I was determined to lose the weight. Fast forward 6 months I am down 85 lbs. and have started a Vegan Lifestyle. I feel so much better. I am not at my goal weight of 250lbs which I know I will achieve. NOVA physician Wellness Center has helped me achieve weight loss like I have never seen before. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and their team of Nutritionists are outstanding. Its never too late to change. Coming to NOVA Physician Wellness was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I will continue to work with their team to accomplish my goals. I am truly grateful.

I would like to encourage anyone who is considering working with you and your health care team on your Weight Loss program through the NOVA PHYSICIAN WELLNESS CENTER to get on board! The good news is that I have been actively participating in the program for 15 months; I weighed 178.3 pounds and have lost 36 pounds, with a few more to go. I started the program just as the pandemic was unfolding. The better news is that I have worked with Dr. Chaudhary and her medical support staff; a nutritionist, etc., and have received non-judgmental, practical guidance on diet and life style changes. I have achieved slow, steady weight loss. I found that the prescription medication was a helpful addition to my weight loss equation. The medical improvement is significant: I no longer need medication for hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease and my A1C is 5.1. The best news is that I have embraced life style changes; walking at least 10,000 steps a day and eating for nutrition. I feel great-I haven’t felt this fit since I ran and finished the Marine Corp Marathon in 1988!  

My weight was out of control. For more than a year I had unsuccessfully tried to lose weight on my own. My personal physician was concerned. She prescribed medications for high blood pressure, cholesterol and onset of diabetes. I felt defeated, depressed and scared. I knew I needed help. I made an appointment with Dr. Suri at Physician’s Weight Loss that day. 

"I would like to share my experience with the Nova Physician Wellness Center. I have been trying to lose weight for a long time with various diets, nothing really seemed to work. Then my primary care physician told me to lose 30 pounds and recommended that I see Dr. Suri who was just in the process of opening his clinic and I was one of his first patients here. This was the best recommendation I have ever received. Dr. Suri was very thorough, he discussed my medical history and the medication I was taking, he did an electrocardiogram and discussed the results of my blood tests. Since I wanted to lose 50 pounds in five months, he put me on a 600 cal/day meal plan. Amazingly, I never was hungry eating 16 oz proteins with vegetables and lettuce and fruit for a snack while losing 1 to 2 pounds every week. We also made some of the meal replacements part of my "diet" which tasted great, especially the smoothies. I not only changed the way I am eating, I also started exercising again; as I lost weight, my back pain decreased. I feel better than I have an in a very long time and could stop two of my medications. I learned to look at food in a completely different way and the awareness of what I am eating has become second nature. During the entire process, Dr. Suri always took the time to discuss the results of the InBody 520 analysis and answer any questions I had. I have recommended Dr. Suri to my friends and colleagues who are amazed at my transformation and feel that, finally, I have the tools to keep the weight off. Thank you, Dr. Suri, for helping me to reach my goal and for taking the time to teach me how to maintain my weight and ultimately my health" 

I have been going to Dr. Suri for about 3 months now. I have been to many Weight Loss Programs, but my friend recommended this to me. It was different to begin with. He is a medical doctor who really spends time with you and goes over your medical history to make the determination about how much weight you need to loose. He comes up with a Meal and the Exercise Plan for you, which is based on your health and Body Composition and Metabolic Rate. He not only focuses on the Meal Plan but the overall health and Lifestyle change, which really make a big difference in the long run. You never feel pressured to buy anything more than what you want and there are no long-term contracts to deal with. I have lost about 25 pounds so far and am more energetic and healthy than I have ever been. 

I am Ella, a professional 46-year-old yo-yo dieter for the past 25 years. Two years ago, I decided to throw in the towel when it comes to losing weight, enjoy my food, and invest in plus size clothes. However, I discovered that along with the extra pounds came cramps, looking and feeling old, and of course a guarantee of various diseases down the road. When my always perfect blood pressure stopped being perfect, I changed my tune. This time around though, internet, books, or really silly diets wouldn't be enough. I needed a personalized plan. My search brought me to NOVA WELLNESS CENTER and I couldn't be happier! I found a pleasant environment, courteous office staff, excellent dietitians who explained to me basic things that after 25 years of dieting, I still ignored. And of course, Dr. Chaudhary, who's professional and knowledgeable without the distant, judgmental, and cold attitude which most doctors seem to have! Not seeing the cookie-cutter BMI chart in her office, I asked what she thought my goal weight should be. Dr. C gave me a number much higher than what the BMI chart says (ha!) but she also suggested that we re-evaluate along the way. (I had no problem with the number on the chart, it just doesn't seem realistic for my body structure.) Dr. Chaudhary saw me, Ella, not an overweight 46-year-old of a height of 5'2"! I was sold! Fast forward a few months later, I have lost 44lbs and I am halfway to my goal weight. What's different than all the previous diets? Those 44lbs were pure fat, not muscle. (Yes, previously, the number on the scale was coming down, too. However, little did I know I was losing precious muscle, as well as fat.) As a result, my body was rapidly transformed, my problem areas were gone sooner than expected which boosted my morale tremendously! And all that at a very affordable price due to the fact that my insurance covers most of the cost. My advice? This time do it right, this time get the help of the professionals who will also oversee that you keep the weight off so that this is the last time.
