Thank you for getting me started!” She placed me with one of the practice doctors and I couldn’t be happier. My doctor looks out for me!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Robert Ziltzer! He helped me reach my ideal weight and more importantly maintain it for over 2 years. He has also helped me keep my blood pressure exactly where my internist wanted it. Dr Ziltzer is not only exceptional in weight management but also a truly gifted internet’s. His knowledge, kindness, and dedication are remarkable. I am deeply grateful for his care and recommend him whole heartedly!

I really felt comfortable with Kristen at my initial appointment. Everyone at the center was caring and friendly, from Bianca, at the front desk, to Lily, who is the MA. Kristen listened to my frustrations and prior disappointments about what has not worked, and is confident that she can help me achieve my goals of weight loss. I am looking forward and excited to see the success I will attain.

I'd lost 20 pounds on my own and struggled to keep it off. I decided GLP-1 meds were the next step in losing more and keeping it off. I wanted a medical doctor supervised program and chose SWLC. I am so very glad I did! The team in Glendale is so supportive and kind; and when I feel discouraged, they pick me up with positive energy and input. They really do a great job with encouragement all the time. 6 weeks in I've lost 17 pounds, and am approaching weight loss with a very new perspective. Also knowing that when I reach my target goal, they'll be there through maintenance and beyond is encouraging as well. Good to not feel alone on this journey.

The team at Scottsdale WLC Glendale is simply amazing, specifically Diana Bone. Meeting with Diana, beginning our plan, and keeping our scheduled check-ins have completely transformed our lives. When we started exactly a year ago, we never would have believed where we're at today. We had some confidence going in, but each time we met with Diana and saw our progress, our confidence grew, new habits were formed, and we've lost more than 1/3 of our weight. We are completely new people and have all the confidence and support we need to carry this forward for the rest of our lives. We cannot thank Diana enough!

I was hesitant to post a review simply because I don't usually do that. However, Dr. Z and Paige really deserve to be reviewed. I started my journey in March of 2022. It was not easy. As I told both of them- I did not like them at first. Once I settled in on the program and accepted their help and guidance a true friendship was formed. Dr. Z is very kind, compassionate and truly cares about you as a whole person. Both he and Paige are your biggest encourages. I gained so much insight and knowledge from Dr. Z. He is passionate about change. I was truly lost before my first appt. I am going on 9 months with SWL. I met my goal after 5 months on the program and am determined to maintain-which I have. I follow up with both of them twice a month to hold me accountable and it has forever changed me. Thank you so much for the encouragement, the hard conversations and the friendship. If you are reading this------I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SWL.

The plan involves basic math and science, but they made it easy to follow. Having set follow up appointments keeps you in the game and seeing improvement each week is inspiring. In 3 months I lost 29 lbs, got my A1C to 5.3 and my body fat percentage to 19%!

Dr. Kristen truly cares about her patients and is deeply invested in their success. She consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate her patients’ needs and provides individualized support every step of the way. What sets her apart is her genuine compassion and dedication. She and her team (Lilia, Bianca and Miriam) are there to encourage you through the challenges of your weight loss journey while also celebrating your victories right alongside you. Their support, expertise, and commitment create an environment where patients feel valued, motivated, and empowered to achieve their goals. I highly recommend Dr. Kristen and the entire Scottsdale Weight Loss Center team at the Biltmore location.

My experience at the Scottsdale weight loss center at arrowhead has been life-changing. I was nervous about starting, but the medical team took the time to do a thorough check-up and explain the science behind the program. They don't offer a 'one size fits all' solution; instead, they customized a plan that worked for my body and health needs. The professionalism here is superior, and the results speak for themselves—my blood work has never looked better! Diana is simply amazing!

Dr. Primack is simply the best! With his support I lost 65 pounds 16 years ago and over the years I was able to maintain my weight loss within 10 pounds. Now, on a path to losing those 10 pounds, Dr. P is again providing the support I need to get me back to my goal weight set 16 years ago! From the first 65 to now, none of my success would have been possible without Dr. P. His staff is also great - professional and encouraging.

Scottsdale Weight Loss Center at the Biltmore truly changed my life. I didn’t just lose the weight — I got my life back. The constant aches and pains are gone, I’m no longer out of breath going up the stairs, and for the first time in a long time, I have real energy again. What made the biggest difference was the people. Every step of the way, I felt encouraged, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness and belief in me helped me believe in myself. I am so grateful for this program and couldn’t recommend it more.

I go to the Biltmore office and have seen marvelous results (43 lbs/19.5kg lost in 9 weeks). That alone would be enough for five stars for me. Beyond the large, and healthy, weight loss is the outstanding care. From the time I walk in for an appointment until I leave afterwards, every single staff member is on the ball and engaged. They are thoughtful, provide helpful suggestions, and make every visit a display of absolutely outstanding patient care. I really love seeing people excel at what they do, and this team excels. Update: I reached my goal in June of 2025 and I am back to my college graduation weight. I have been able to maintain it for the past several months, and I continue to be very happy with the results.

I’ve been going to Scottsdale Weight Loss Center since the end of July. I do like the weekly check-ins, I try to go in person to make myself more accountable. I also like the fact that I get to see a doctor every other visit. It’s reassuring to know that I’m on the right path and I’m doing things the right way. Everyone I interact with there is very friendly. I would recommend Dr. de Guzman to anyone— he is so nice and supportive— I never feel rushed when I visit.
