Excellent all around! I wasn't sure about coming in at first because I'm a vegetarian and I have had unpleasant experiences with doctors before. I emailed them first to get a feel for the doctor. He wrote me back immediately, providing me some very useful information that I had never heard from anyone before (I must add that I am an avid researcher on health, herbs and supplements.) He was very kind and his words were well thought out, not rushed as I had expected. I began the program May 23rd and this is week 9 for me. I have lost 19 pounds and it shows (dropped 4 sizes already!) On my first visit and all appointments thereafter, I was greeted with kindness, smiles, professionalism, encouragement, and have never been rushed or talked down to. All visits have been informative, encouraging, and welcoming. I especially liked that Dr. Nguyen is also a vegetarian and was able to explain to me what I was doing wrong even though I am a very healthy eater. Everything has always made sense and has been easy to understand. Don't think that you have to become a vegetarian because he is, he will not try to convert you :) This is not your typical doctor's office at all. The office is clean, comfortable, pleasant and inviting. The receptionist always greets you with a smile even if she is busy with another patient. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and you will never leave feeling bad even if you hadn't lost weight that week. I even bring my 10 year old son with me and he is allowed to sit in on my appointment and the doctor even speaks to him and gives him encouragement to eat healthier too. I will continue with this way of eating (5 times a day, I might add!) because I have a new way of thinking and looking at food. You will learn the same, as this is the first thing you learn when you come in. And the great part is you get to eat your own food because they don't sell you pre-packaged garbage or push products on you. The bottom line is I highly recommend Lorphen Medical :) I'm a happy patient! read more

I decided to come back after a couple years because I need help. Arrived early and updated the paperwork for my file. I don't recall ever feeling this place wasn't professional, until now. The receptionist asked me to come back to weigh in and take my blood pressure. Before, they would do the weigh in behind closed doors. This time, they had me walk behind the front counter for these tasks. They even had non-workers (a couple) walk back where I was at. They could clearly see my readings if they were looking. I already felt vulnerable being here. I then waited in the lobby to see the doctor. It was not Mr. Nguyen. I couldn't tell who was the doctor with all the people that were coming in and out. Random people kept chatting and walking in and out of that front office like it was just a hang out. One person arrived late to her appointment but they saw her right away. Which is fine, but I waited a total of 45 minutes. I decided to finally walk out since this didn't felt like a place that cared. As soon as I walked to my car, this person taps on my window and apologizes for the wait but they wanted to see if maybe the GLP would be better because of my blood pressure. Okay, So now you had time to come see me after I had to leave. I'm just so disappointed in this place. It has totally gone down hill since Mr. Nguyen is no longer here. read more

Going in to see Dr. Nguyen has changed my life in SO MANY AMAZING ways! I walked into his office weighing in at 273 lbs. and with Dr. Nguyen guiding me through my weight loss journey, I proud to say hard work and better choices have brought me to currently weigh in at 177 lbs. and still dropping at a healthy pace that I know is going to be long term. I am very grateful to have made the greatest investment in myself by choosing to be Dr. Nguyen's patient and following his plan. I have truly transformed my life entirely and I'm feeling so good in my own skin now! read more

I called and made an appointment on a Wednesday for 10:00 on Saturday. I gave my name and phone number. Saturday morning I drove over to the building to find it locked up. A realtor who rents an office inside said that no one was there. I never went back or called. I'm kinda mad. read more

Started 3 months ago. This decision I made was challenging. I didn't believe I would be loosing 20 lbs. I feel great and very motivated. Dr. Has been great through out the process. Great staff! Very educational information! read more

Lorphen Medical - Wouldn't fit in this dress 3 months ago. Went from large to medium. - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Riverside, California

The only doctor and lifestyle change that ACTUALLY worked for me and is still working to this day - 8 months in and still going strong. Before meeting Dr. Nguyen, I almost gave up hope on finding a program that would help me get results. I tried all fad diets and would try to exercise my way out of everything and nothing was working. I had a very unhealthy mindset towards food, diets, exercising, etc. Then I meet Dr. Nguyen and I went from 160 Lbs to 140 Lbs in 2 months and I have still maintained this goal weight of 140 Lbs for the past 6 months all because Dr. Nguyen has helped me each and every step along the way. I have sent him numerous SOS texts as I felt the need to binge or give up and he was always there to encourage and teach me how to move forward and succeed! His book is phenomenal as well. He coaches you each step of the way and does this out of genuine care for people obtaining their weight loss goals. Thinsulin has changed my life and I don't say that lightly. I never wore a swim suit/felt confident my whole life as I was always the "bigger" girl and now I am so confident in my body and also more healthy in my mind due to Dr. Nguyen's coaching, and I am enjoying the beach/pool weekly with my husband and friends! If you want your life to be changed, go see Dr. Nguyen. If you follow his simple "guidelines" then you will see change too! read more

Been coming here for 6 years and this Doctor changed my life, it thought me how to make easy choices on food and my body and mind

Going to Lorphen Medical Clinic is the best choice I ever made for myself! Dr.Charles is great at explaining how insulin and weight loss works, he is very nice, informative and motivating! When I first started I had lots of questions to ask of what I can and cant eat, Lidia, Alex & Dr. never failed to answer any of them quickly..It is super easy to loose weight here all you have to do is take a pill one time every morning and follow his meal plan, let me tell you, Ive tried diets before and I always end up starving and giving up, but with this one I was good all the way through.! Never was I hungry or droopy. Anyways I have lost a total of 40 pounds thanks to Dr and the girls.! I started at 170 and am now at 130 ..I feel like a new, great, much more confident person..I have motivated a few people to give it a try, I cant wait wait to see their results.! read more

I got this deal on living social for this weight loss clinic this past December but I wanted to wait till after the New Year to really start the program. Me and my BFF decided to start the program the middle of January. I been slowly losing weight the past 6 months prior to January and was at a stand still. The facility is really nice and the receptionist is as cute as a button and nice as heck. She weighed us in and then we met with the doc. He was a nice guy with a slight Vietnamese accent. Since it was only a slight accent...I was happy since I have selective hearing anyways. :) Anywho.....the first 3 months on the program...I lost about 25 lbs. What he says about what foods to eat and when to eat them totally makes sense. I am happy with my results and I plan to lose more once I hit my second phase. "I'm gonna drop it like it's hot!" :) read more

I write this review in hopes that no one else has an experience like mine. After doing a lot of research I came across this weight loss clinic, I read all the reviews and was super excited to start the program, scheduling an appointment was very easy, customer service was okay but the Dr was very nice. The doctor explained his method but it almost seemed rehearsed not very personable almost as if he's just reading out of his book And wanted to get through the appointment quickly, we spoke for a little over 5 minutes and then he started going over pricing, he took me straight to the front desk receptionist and said they will take over from her. I paid the fee mind you I was just so excited I didn't ask very many questions. Anyways I paid the fee they handed me a sheet that was very minimal (hard to understand since no one explained) then I received 3 months worth of pills and was sent off. They did 1 follow up and 1 appointment after this. Then I did not hear back from them until my 90 days were over about paying more money to continue the program , so today after 4 more months I finally have someone reach out again to sign up... it's extremely frustrating when you pay over $200 and have high expectations because of the reviews to just receive 3 months worth of pills and 1 piece of paper, it felt like a waste of time and money. Please save your money and go to a program willing to help you and communicate what it is that they offer. read more

Lorphen Medical helped my finally drop the weight I never thought I'd lose. Since I began seeing Dr. Nguyen four months ago, I've lost almost 40 lbs. His program works. With a few simple principles, I'm able to eat real food eating out, or cooking at home. I was a little skeptical at first, and the first couple of weeks challenged me. But following the program quickly became second nature. I only wish I had started sooner! A big thank you to Dr Nguyen and Lorphen medical! read more

I lost 4pounds the first week! And the Dr. Is wonderful! I highly recommend this clinic!

Incredible service, supportive, easy to follow plan. I refer anyone looking for a healthy long standing plan to lose weight and keep it off. I'm 100% happy with the service and results. read more

Great program, i have been doing it for a couple months. Have lost a total of 25lbs so far.

My first month on the program and I already lost 15 lbs. Dr. Nguyen is great!!! This place really helped me understand my problems with the kind of food I was eating and not the quantity I was eating. The office is really clean and has a wonderful atmosphere. If you need to lose some weight, I totally recommend this place. read more

This place is amazing and helped me out so much but teaching me what I should eat and shouldn't before I got pregnant I lost 30lbs in only 2 months and it's was so easy!!! read more

I purchased a living social deal online for a great deal. I have been attending this clinic for about 7 weeks now and love the results. The office staff is wonderful and always so personable. The Dr. is amazing and has great knowledge of nutrition. This is not a place to run and get a magic pill, this is a place where you make a commitment to become healthy and change your way of eating for good. After 7 weeks of changing my diet, I am down 13 lbs. It takes commitment and the drive to make it happen. I have lowered my blood pressure and blood tests are perfect. Its amazing what processed foods and sugar do to your health. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Nguyen and I am extremely satisfied with the whole experience. The program was simple to follow and the doctor and staff are great! I had 25 pounds to lose and I don't think there is another program out there that could have helped me lose the weight quicker! I totally recommend them! read more

Purchased Groupon and they were great did body analysis and perscribed phentermine with good plan I lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks

Eating the way I should and Understanding how the way he tells you to and working out 6 days a week has helped a lot... I've got more energy and I feel great... plus it's a very clean office & girls are very friendly..... Thank You Doc. read more

I've been going to Lorphen for almost a year now and my results have been incredible. There was a time when I was working out twice a day. In this program though, I lost 30lbs in just 4 months...and that was without working out and without feeling hungry. Lorphen Medical takes the idea of lowering your insulin level with an actual program that is easy to follow. It changes your behavior and how you think about food. It's very comprehensive and surprisingly simple. Best of all, it's cheap! Compared with having a personal trainer or other programs were you have to buy food, this program is just pennies. read more

I started Lorphen Medical, after every other diet I tried had failed. However, I learned that this wasn't a diet. I was teaching myself I can eat as much as I wanted unlike starving myself (which made me gain even more weight). Over all i dropped 3 pant sizes! Nothing is ever easy, but looking at the bigger picture, I don't understand why I didn't do it sooner. The recptionist and doctor are very friendy and make you feel comfortable. They're another reason why I get excited to go back for my monthy check ups. I highly recommend Lorphen Medical to everyone read more

I am a patient of Dr. Nguyen and I've started their weight loss program in September 2011 and to this day 10/14/2011 I have lost 28Lbs. I'm really satisfied with their services and my results, their staff is very friendly and nice. Dr. Nguyen tries to educate you to a smarter way of eating and like they say it's not a diet it's just eating healthy. I would definetely recommend Dr. Nguyen or Lorphen Medical to anyone in need of losing weight plus his prices are pretty reasonable. read more

I started at 175 lbs and 3 months later lost 30 lbs!! I'm at 145 lbs. I've had 2 children and have struggled with my weight ever since. Dr. Nguyen genuinely cares about his patients. He takes the time to educate his patients on how to eat properly and boy, his program really works!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this clinic to anyone that is serious about losing weight. The staff is great. Overall, a great experience. read more
