They individualize a program for you… They figured out a way to help me to reach my goals, and this is the most consistent I’ve ever been.

Everywhere I would try, they would say, you know, you’re not a certain BMI, so we can’t help you. They were able to help me and to give me diet tips and recipe books, exercise tips… and they listened to what I was looking for.

They’re concerned about the individual. They care, they listen to you and you tell them what you’re looking for, what your goals are, and they take into account everything medical, and then they help you reach your goals in a safe way and in a safe, caring environment.

If you follow the plan, you WILL lose weight. Once you reach your goal, they have a wonderful maintenance program led by a dietitian to help you keep on track. If you are serious about losing weight, the program works, and what makes it even better is the supportive network, and genuine desire to help you achieve your goals.

The Weigh Station has a program that really works! Couple this to friendly, knowledgeable staff that is easy to work with.

Stephen

A good way to lose weight, but modifying your eating habits after weight loss is the hard part.

Steve

Down 45lbs and oh so many inches since 6/9/17! The staff are super! What are you waiting for?!? Do it the right way.

Christie

Great staff who are always supportive and uplifting.

Craig

Fantastic people who care about your overall health and well being.

Beaver

Amazing staff! Thorough, kind and considerate. Some of the staff have gone through the program and know what you’re going to go through. Their help is invaluable. The doctor is amazingly intelligent and kind, straightforward and honest. In two weeks I’ve lost 19 lb and my pain level has gone down 60%. My only regret is that I did not find this program sooner, and I would encourage anybody who wants to lose weight or has other problems related to weight to give this program a try. If you put in the time you will get results!

“My back pain has lessened, I feel confident, and most of all—I feel supported through and through.”

A great place to be! Atmosphere is fun, friendly, and professional! I am so very thankful for Dr. Lindsey and his staff!! With their help, I have lost a great amount of weight. My back pain has lessened, I can fit into clothes I haven’t fit into in years, I feel confident, and most of all—I feel supported through and through. I plan on sticking with The Weigh Station even when I hit my goal weight for nutrition and accountability. They are a great team and their support has been vital to my weight loss!

Awesome staff and great programs. The team has been awesome working around my schedule. They are always friendly and encourage you every step of the way.

Zach
Dr Lindsey and staff are amazing. Having tried everything to lose weight for my entire adult life, I was discouraged to say the least. The Weigh Station changed all of that!!! I had tried Keto diets, macro diets, counted calories, been to fitness boot camps and could never lose more than 15lbs. I started this program in October 2023 by June of 2024 I had lost 90ish lbs and I’m keeping it off! All of it was done in a judgement free environment while teaching me to be kind to myself. Just what I needed!! Oh and I should say I was referred by a friend… I referred a friend, they referred their sister… we’ve ALL had successful experiences!!

Real results, excellent doctor and nurses who are caring and follow you every step of the way. Make your appointment, you have nothing to lose but pounds, inches and elimination of medications.

Teresa

I am a returning client due to my own lack of discipline. I am thoroughly impressed with the scale and scanner, much better than their old way of measuring. Staff is very nice and encouraging, always there to help and answer any questions you may have. The Weigh Station is a great way to hold yourself accountable.

Teresa

I’ve been going here since April last year and I’ve had nothing but great experiences every time. The staff is great. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight on the program. I think the best part is when I go for a weigh in and I didn’t lose any weight that week or gained a few pounds they are understanding and not rude about it. It really makes a difference when you feel encouraged and not belittled.

I started The Weigh Station in September and have lost 34 lbs to date and countless inches! What I can’t measure is the way I feel compared to before. I never knew that my diet was causing me to feel so terrible until I started this program. I’ve done plenty of yo-yo dieting in the past only to give up less than a month in and gain all the weight back then some. This program and the diet plan are 100% the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose weight, feel better or just get healthy no matter the reason. The staff is so supportive and are great cheerleaders throughout your journey.

Michael

The weigh station is awesome the only plan that has worked for me! Believe me i have tried all others and by far this is the best. Dr Shaffer and his team are awesome. They really care about the success of each person!

Robin

Excellent plan that uses the latest scientific research on nutrition and weight loss. If you have read and tried other diets you will find much in common here with Wheatbelly and Bright Line Eating, among others I’m sure. But here the monitoring, medication and support is also a huge help.

Mark

This is a wonderful program, and all of the people involved are kind and caring. They really want to help others achieve their weight loss goals. Their support and encouragement are paramount to an overall successful experience, and I highly recommend The Weigh Station!

Anne

Very friendly, the staff takes their time to get to know you on a personal level rather than just a number.

Casey

I highly recommend The Weigh Station. I have had more success with their eating plan than I have anywhere else. It teaches how to eat healthy for life. Successful weight control ultimately has to be a lifestyle not just a temporary fix. This is a lifestyle that I can manage.

Korena

It works and it makes sense. I feel so much better and have increased energy while on Stage 2. The staff is friendly and helpful, always. This is the life changer plan.

Daniela

I’ve been a patient for 3 weeks and I’m down 12 pounds! This program works if you follow the plan. I’m feeling better already. Sleeping better at night and more energy during the day. I still have 78 pounds to loose but hopefully I’ll meet my goal by March.
