WEIGHT LOSS DISCLAIMER: Medical weight loss program results vary between individuals depending on initial weight, existing medical conditions and adherence to prescribed treatments. Speak to your Scottsdale Weight Loss Obesity Medicine Specialist about the results you can expect.

Optifast is our recommend choice of meal replacements because it’s been producing verifiable results in over one million people since 1974.

An average weight loss of 52 pounds in over 20,000 patients using this weight loss formula has been documented in medical journals.

Most importantly, in our professional opinion it’s the highest quality, best tasting meal replacement on the market!
