Dr. Self went above & beyond w/her research & found one pill that would take care of all the vitamins I need that would be affordable.

Dr Self always has been a wonderful provider. She makes you feel like she genuinely cares about you as a person. She doesn't just want to solve the obesity problem, she wants to figure out how to help you find happiness and joy in a smaller body. She understands there's a mental component to the science of weight loss as well.

FYI this virtual visit was just to give my weight. Very limited interaction. She was very helpful when I asked about a follow-up visit with another provider.
