SHAPE MEDICAL IS AWESOME
by jason l.
I went to shape medical because i had turned forty and for the first time in my life i was having maintaining my weight. The staff was super courteous on the phone and booked for an appointment immediately. After visiting their clinic and working with Dr. McKenna and the dietician, Jessica - I was sure this was the right decision. I lost 36 pounds in 4 months and I have kept it off.

Super Experience!
by M S.
I had a great experience! Everyone is super nice, professionals at what they do. I have lost 15 lbs in the past 3 weeks! They offer nutrition and prescriptions. Plus, I can get my Botox there for a ridiculous savings! That is what makes the difference.You have to wait in any doctor's office, its a part of the medical industry. It wasnt long, maybe 10 minutes, in total I was in and out on my first visit in 30 minutes and the follow ups were maybe 15 minutes. Good place, good results, I'd highly recommend them.

Felt rushed
by hanwill
I felt rushed?
I went in hoping to finally lose the weight. But I felt rushed by Dr. Mckenna and staff. I had lots of questions including Mckennas training for weight loss. He seemed evasive when i asked questions except to say he went to Tulane med school. I later told my husband about my experience and he said that he went to Morehouse College with McKenna and that he seemed to be a good student there.
Pros: convenient
Cons: felt rushed

Money hungry-fast talking doctor
by kallyga
Have you ever experience a fast talking sales person - well this doctor is the same way. He lacks personality and rushes you through your first initial appointment. So if you have any questions forget it ? he must have spent a maximum of 15 minutes with me. He did not ask me anything about myself or even go through my medical history. In a nut shell, I was disappointed. If you are looking for a nice, compassionate and sincere doctor then this doctor is NOT that. He seems driven by money and not building a solid reputable practice. As far as the dietician ? wow ? what a rude, know it all, disrespectful, spiteful, tactless, insensitive person. I was shocked by her tone and sheer bluntness about how I am an idiot and she is not.
With all of that being said I hope that I get the results I am looking for unfortunately it is too soon to tell. If I get the results and all of this would have been worth it.
I wrote this review to give everyone a glimpse of what kind of people you can expect. They may be good at what they do but they are not welcoming, patient, compassionate or pleasant. The only person who really made me feel comfortable was the front desk person and the office manager.
Pros: Front desk person
Cons: Doctor and Dietician

Rude, Poor Service, Don't expect much!
by lsmitty1
Unless you want to keep people who clearly don't care much for their patients around, avoid this place. I heard about it in a salon and thought I would give it a try. I was hoping for an expert to help me with my weight-loss. I signed up for hgh and was looking to get meals delivered and help with my diet and nutrition. I was looking forward to this, especially the hormone then I was told I couldn't get it. I was charged an exorbitant fee for the test which I took elsewhere. I had a hard time getting return phone calls and the doctor when I spoke to him was short with me and rude! Beware!
Pros: Well, It was easy to find
Cons: Over-priced, rude etc.

by CSMobileUser
If you have over considered well over your BMI, go to Shape and younwill lose weight. But they have no information or suggestions for those tryin to lose the 15 pounds you gained during the holidays. Save your money and join a kickboxing class. An NO REFUNDS if you are unhappy with your service, even if they promise it to you!!

Run!
by Donna1963
This place is nothing but pill-pushers. They 'recommend' eating sensibly and exercising, but really offer nothing other than a place to pick up prescription meds for losing weight. Look at the other reviews - isn't it odd that all these glowing reviews happen on the same day in a series? Do yourself a favor and run from this place.
Pros: Convenient location
Cons: everything else

I always had a problem with my weight, I never been that thin girl, everyone in my family has always been overweight. I was sick of feeling uncomfortble not being able to wear certain types of clothing, shopping for someone my size was horrible. I just got sick and tired of complaining and not doing anything about it, I did some research on the internet and saw the good reviews Shape Medical Weight Loss Center had, and decided to go in. The doctor was top of the line, The Nutritionist put me on the right meal plan that worked for me. The staff was friendly and nice, I lost 15 pounds in 2 months and still going strong, Thanks Shape.

by stevepaterson
My main problem with my weight was always the type of food I ate. I worked out constantly but never saw results because I just could not stop eating out. When I first came into Shape, they told me everything that I was doing wrong, the actual Meal Plan they gave me was something I could enjoy, I stopped with my bad habits and got on a good track to success, I'm healthy , happy, and look great. Thanks Shape.

by johnt21
I Been unhappy with my weight for the past 3 years. My unhealthy eating habits have affected my personal life, and has caused alot of issues to my health as well. A good friend of mine Judy Palmer told me she was going to Shape, and she looked amazing, and was so happy, she told me once you start looking great, you start feeling great on the inside also. I decided to give it a shot and was so impressed with there knowledge, they knew exactly what I needed to do and put me on a great Meal plan, that was consistent. I lost over 30 pounds I Suggest anyone who feels they need something fast, and affective to go to Shape.
