What Patients Say…

I am 55 and have struggled with my weight since my teens. I have been on almost every commercial diet – WW, LA Weight Loss, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig… I would lose weight on these plans and then regain the weight after - plus a little more. I was tired of the yo-yo dieting. Although I was exercising 3-4 days a week, I became prediabetic. I felt defeated.

My cousin’s friend had been seeing Dr. Novick who put her on Mounjaro and she had great success. I sent an email to Dr. Novick and was talking to her later that day. She listened and assured me that my weight is not a reflection of my willpower. She put me on Wegovy and now I’m on Zepbound. I have lost close to 30lbs and am no longer prediabetic!

I developed a chronic autoimmune disease in my 40s. Between the disease itself and the medication prescribed I gained a great deal of weight. I was told that, as a cancer survivor, excess weight was a risk factor for recurrence. So wanting to focus on health I turned to Dr. Novick. With compassion, professionalism, and by focusing on my health and my personal goals, Dr. Novick guided me through a journey of nutrition and activity, prescribed alternatives to my medications that do not cause weight gain, and offered treatments that promoted my goals.

I lost over 100 lbs in 2 years.

I have gained muscle and flexibility and become much healthier. I can play with my kids and my dogs, and have gotten back to activities I haven’t been able to do in years. And I can fit into my pre-weight gain clothes.

I would recommend Dr. Novick to anyone!

One day, feeling frustrated, sad and pretty hopeless that I would ever lose any weight, I sat down and searched the Internet for something, anything, that could finally help me. I had tried so many times to lose weight, but I just could not find a way to get there. I came upon Dr. Novick’s profile and reached out to her to see if there was anything new she could offer me. That was the beginning of a journey that has allowed me to lose over 60 pounds.

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Novick. She is an incredible Doctor! She has so many great qualities and it is a pleasure to work with her. One thing I especially appreciate is her ability to find alternative solutions when something isn’t working.

I had reached a point where I really didn’t think I would ever lose weight. I am so happy and amazed that I was wrong about that!
