I was sent to this QWACK by my primary care physician for "weight loss" as my last blood test recorded insulin levels 4 times higher than normal. I should not have even started treatment with him as he is a SLEEP specialist! He first prescribed a moderate dose of 1000mg Metformin which has been successful in treating diabetes. Only, I'm NOT diabetic as my AC1 levels were normal. When, I saw him during my next visit, he didn't check my insulin levels, in fact, he didn't even order a blood test to see if my insulin level had changed. He made an assumption because I did lose about 10lbs, my insulin level should be down. He then upped my Metformin dosage to 1500mg. After another 6 months, my weight had not changed so he also prescribed Phentermine 37.5mg. Again, three months later, my weight had NOT changed. He tried to get me on Wagovy which had just been approved by the FDA for weight loss. Unfortunately, my health insurance would not cover the $1300+/mo treatment. HE assured my I could get a "coupon" from the manufacturer for $25/mo, but again, I did not qualify for the medication price breaks. On my last visit, He tried to get me to agree to another "generic" drug that does the same thing as Wagovy (my weight had INCREASED despite the meds I had been taking) and pass it off to insurance as a "Pre-Diabetic" treatment, or have me try to be classified as "Insulin resistant". NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! After looking into OTHER meds, he then made the fateful comment that sealed his fate as a QWACK . He told me that "there are some organisms that get MORE calories out of foods than the food actually contains" WHAT?? He then tried to get me to change my diet (like THAT had never entered my mind) and become a VEGETARIAN!!! At this point I looked in the eye and told him "You don't have a freaking clue on how to deal with weight loss" PLEASE, DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TREATED BY THIS "DOCTOR" for ANYTHING! He is ALL about having you take DRUGS to cure your ailment. He won't even do the legwork and order blood tests or labs to verify his "assumptions"! Please, PLEASE find someone else!! read more
