A Better Weigh

Long waits, almost like a cattle call. Satisfied with the B-​12 shots once I finally got them.

I’ve been about three times. The workers are polite and professional. Wait a bit long.

I really like the support of this place. They are supportive and when I go off track, they help me get back on track ., I like that it works and not a waste of time and money! Thank u better weigh!!!

Omg! The entire staff was wonderful. The doctor was so personable. I will definitely be back

3 out of 5
1.The prices are reasonable and affordable
2. Staff was great! Very professional.
3. The facility was clean.
4. The medication works well in conjunction with a proper diet and light to moderate exercise.
4. Here’s where it all goes SOUTH… The wait time is ridiculously long. I’m talking hours here people!!! If it weren’t for such a long waiting period, I would’ve definitely given them 5stars.

Don’t go on Saturday only 1 nurse and she slow as hell she thinks she’s a doctor a 10 min visit become a hour visit. It’s like waiting in line at cook county hospital. Dumb. Update went back January, on a Wednesday morning kinda slow, but service was much better I was in and out. Happy about the improvements.

I wish there was another location closer. The wait time is awful and the condition is uncomfortable. They don’t care that the waiting room is freezing and people been sitting here for hours. Ridiculous. They just want your money.

Don’t bother with Groupon or any other deal for B12 shots. While checking in you can tell no one cares about your goal, just going through the motions recording your weight and blood pressure (they got your money already).
Nurse practitioner barely knows your history (even got my name wrong several times). In and out in 15 mins.
I was looking for a jump start to my new weight management program but actually ended up gaining 2 lbs!

I have been going to this location on and off for over three years. I first came to lose the weight I had gained from being pregnant with my son. Then I had to return to lose weight that was put on by medication.
Initially when I first started I would have given the location 4 star. It does work, or I wouldn’t have stuck with it as long as I did. Employee friendliness is hit or miss. Not outright rude, just not real warm. A couple are nice. If you are looking for anything outside of getting a shot or prescription weight-​loss medication, go elsewhere. The extent the nutritional counselling is typically them asking you if you have been drinking water and exercising. Regardless, it does help you to lose weight, so I did continue using their service. I would regularly purchase a package they offer which is 30 days of weight loss medication along with a series of 4 shots called lipo ignite. They really give your metabolism an amazing jump, and you really do burn weight off quicker.
When I first started here the service was very fast. Then they started selling Groupons/​Living social, and that for me was the end of going to A Better Weigh. What used to take 15 min began taking a couple hours. I don’t have hrs to wait around to get a shot that takes less than 2 min. The waiting room is over crowded with not enough seats for the clients. It seriously feels like being in a cattle yard. It doesn’t matter what time you how up, it’s always crazy. There is a line outside before they open the doors at 2. I had unfortunately purchased a package. Let’s just say the amt of time it would take, and anxiety this place caused me made me walk away without completing the package I had purchased.

I have visited this location many times the staff where always very nice and welcoming. Today, I has greeted by a very disrespectful, unprofessional and GUETTO receptionist. The first thing out of her mouth was «you owe me $ 10 dollars» I was shocked. I asked why? She replied with her nasty attitude, saying I didn’t pay and additional $ 10. I replied ok, I was not aware of that and I was sorry, I had no problem paying the ten dollars.
First, I was there 2 weeks ago, I came in for my service purchased my pills, I took my receipt to the cashier and I paid what the cashier asked me to pay. Today, I’m being yield at… As if I stole something. I’m sorry, this was not my mistake but the mistake of the cashier.
Second, why not be polite and say. Mam, the last time you were here I forgot to charge you an additional $ 10 dollars.
Third, I purchased a living social voucher for 8 sessions for myself and a 4 session as a gift. When we visited, I spoke to the nurse and I explained to the nurse that I wanted to purchase two 8 sessions, but that living social had run out of the 8 sessions and I could only purchase the 4 session. The Nutritionist that we consulted with told us to go ahead and purchase a second living social for an additional 4 sessions and that they will accept it, so that we both have an 8 session and see better results.
Today as we try to use the additional 4 the this horrible rude woman said NO! As I explained to her what the Nutritionist had told us. She refused and said she was a new nutritionist and didn’t know the rules. I gladly paid the $ 10 and I will never ever return to this place. The nurse and the nutritionist on site, said nothing and just watched how this rude woman talked to us. I will never recommend them!!!

I go to the new location on Broadway in Edgewater. I purchased a groupon and have been going there for months now. I have lost just under 30 lbs. Originally I didn’t think the staff was very friendly but they have improved in time.
