Thank you Vanessa.

My experience at Chicago Weight Loss was exceptional. Vanessa walked me though every detail and I really feel like we planned my weight loss journey together. Her professionalism and passion for helping others is amazing and it shows.

Vanessa is amazing 🤩 she has helped me lose weight and gain confidence and knowledge in my healthcare journey. Her experience and support is second to none. If I could give her 10 stars ⭐ I definitely would! I highly recommend this wellness center. Dr Thakkar is great.

From my very first visit to the Chicago Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic, I knew that I was in the right place to make a positive change in my life. The warm welcome by the staff set the tone for a professional and supportive environment that truly cares about individual patient needs.

I came to the clinic feeling defeated by my weight loss struggles, but the team here equipped me with the tools and knowledge to take control of my health. My initial consultation was with Dr. Thakkar, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate. He took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and the challenges I faced in my weight loss trials.

The clinic's approach is wonderfully balanced, addressing not just dietary and physical aspects, but also the underlying medical issues and even emotional factors that contribute to a healthy weight and overall wellness. The nutritional guidance was tailored specifically for me, with realistic goals and plans. Moreover, the lifestyle recommendations were manageable and effective, designed to fit into my busy schedule.

What sets this clinic apart is their customized programs and multi-pronged approach. Every step of the process, from the initial labs and tests to the rapid weight loss, including personalized IV therapy sessions, hormonal balance treatments, mindset training, etc., was top-notch. The staff was always on hand to explain each process, ensuring that I was comfortable and informed.

Throughout my experience, the regular follow-ups and adjustments to my plan were pivotal in keeping me on track. The encouragement and accountability provided by the clinic's team were invaluable.

After a few months, not only have I achieved significant weight loss, but I've also gained energy, confidence, and a new zest for life. My experience at the Chicago Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic has been nothing short of life-changing. I am immensely grateful for their support and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to change themselves and life for the better.

My experience with Chicago weight loss and wellness clinic has been so positive. I came in for my free consultation in April 2023 and was so excited to begin my weight loss and wellness journey with them! Since then, with the support of Dr. Thakkar and his team, I have lost over 45 pounds, my hormones are balanced, my blood work results are in the healthy range, and my overall health is better than it has been in years! I knew it was going to require hard work and dedication, and Dr. Thakkar was 100% committed to helping me be successful! I look forward to continuing my journey with them! I highly recommend!

I think that you get the best care at the Rockford IL. location, the two young ladies that give me my treatment every week. Has made it poseable for myself to lose 82 pound's so far. With all of the support they give me, I would like to say that, they due a superb job and give them two thumb's up. Thank You Mark

I just want to thank Dr. Thakkar, Vanessa and Holly at the Rockford location. They have countinued to encourage and support me through this journey.I have serious thyroid issues and I have been able to lose 85 lbs so far since the end of November.I am not going to say that they have a magic solution to weightloss but if you actually put the work in and follow the program you will see resaults I can promise that. Thank you again !

I’m 21 and I’ve struggled with my weight since when I was a kid. I started going to Chicago Weight loss and Wellness clinic about 4 weeks ago and have lost 26 lbs on the HCG treatment! The staff is super nice and are there for any questions and support. Honestly highly recommend!

I enjoy coming. It is very clean. The staff is really nice and encouraging. I started 3 months ago and have lost almost 30lbs. Trust the process, follow the plans and you will see the changes

I went on the hcg diet lost 36lbs and have learned a new way to eat and so much more! I have taken thyroid medicine for about 15 years and my numbers have been up and down and Chicago weight loss clinic checked my hormone levels and found out I had not one but two autoimmune diseases that pertained to my thyroid. Since then I have been on their thyroid medication and my numbers are looking great not to say my weight is finally coming off.
It is not an easy weight loss plan you can’t take a magic pill, but it is a great program with a great app and lots of support! I highly recommend Chicago Weight loss especially the Rockford location Samatha is an absolute doll who makes you feel so special. Thanks again Samantha!

Samantha and Barb are the best!! Very supportive, kind and professional. The HCG program helped me lose 32 pounds in two months. They discovered my thyroid was a bit hinky and helping me correct that too! I feel so much better!! Thank you ladies!!

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Thakkar and his staff! I've been coming here for 4 months so far. Their approach to wellness is different than anything I've encountered. They help you achieve a healthy lifestyle that you can maintain! They spend a lot of time getting to know you and your whole health history. They do lab work and hormone testing if indicated. Dr. Thakkar discovered health issues that I have had for my whole adult life, that no other doctor had found, and has already reversed it! I have more energy than I have ever had. They have me on a great regiment of vitamins as well. Barbara is also amazing! She always goes above and beyond for anything I need and is always available to me! She is informative, supportive, and very knowledgeable in the wellness programs offered here. I would recommend them to my family, friends, and anyone else who asked!

I have really loved working with Dr. Thakkar and his team. I have lost about 20lbs so far and they have been enormously supportive! I am encouraging my friends and colleagues at work to go in for the free consultation.

My experience with the Rockford office the first time was a tad chaotic . I started my program at a time when staffing was in a transition. I did lose weight and I must say that Dr Thakkar and Barb are super congenial, and helpful, I did enjoy them. I voiced my concerns and Dr Thakkar went out of his way to address them and work with me . I am trying the program again.

Nov 2021: Dr. Thakkar ordered blood work at an independent lab to check my vitamin and hormone levels and then introduced me to the HCG protocol during the free consultation. I researched it and found a lot of benefits that convinced me to try it (I no longer have hypertension or shortness of breath, and my metabolism is higher now). I was also very happy that Dr. Thakkar provides vitamin, enzyme and probiotic supplements along with the HCG. My research led me to 2 books that I found VERY helpful: Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity by A.T.W. Simeons, M. D. and Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the HCG Protocol by Robin Phipps Woodall.

I ended up doing the HCG program along with an appetite suppressant for 6 weeks, then a 3 week transition period back to a healthy diet, during which I continued to lose weight at a slower period.

From Nov 8-Dec 19, 2021 (using HCG), I lost 31.2 lbs. From Dec 20-Jan 9, 2022 (transition period), I lost 10.2 lbs. As of today, Jan 25 2022, I have maintained that weight loss with no more than 3 lbs of fluctuation. I lost 6.1% fat mass, while maintaining my muscle and water mass, according to my body scale.

I am very happy with my results and experience and am planning to do the Lifestyle program (this is how I decided to maintain my weight with the doctor’s supervision, I didn’t want to go off on my own yet) until spring, when I would like to do one more round of HCG protocol. It costs a fair amount of money, but nowhere near the amount of money, time, and energy it costs me to be sick and overweight. If you are serious about making changes, I recommend Dr. Thakkar’s business wholeheartedly. I wish my general practitioner and cardiologist would get on board with weight loss as a disease preventative.

Update Sep 2022: I completed the Lifestyle program in May 2022, losing a total of about 17 lbs, and have been able to maintain the weight loss.

I've been on the going to the Rockford location for just about a month. Down just over 20 pounds. HCG program works and I feel great!! Thanks Anita and Dr. T... Reaching my goal weight feels totally achievable!!

After 3 babies I finally was able to lose the weight and kept it off with the help of the health coaches at Chicago weight loss! I lost 30 lbs in total and was finally able to wear a swim suit and play with my kids with confidence ! I recommend to anyone in a rut that needs some help reaching there goal! These people really seem to care !

This medical weight loss center worked for me. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and felt great the entire time! My blood pressure went down My cholesterol level improved. My energy level went up and my appetite got under control. Can you imagine yourself 30 pounds lighter with a waste size 4 to 6 inches smaller? Stop imagining it and live it. If you are wanting to safely loose weight and improve your health, Chicago Medical Weight Loss is definitely worth checking out. Dr Thakkar is a physician whom I have learned to trust, not only with my weight loss, but with my future improvement in my athletic ability.

I started seeing Dr. Thakkar in October of 2019 for hormone replacement. I was feeling really run down, tired, no energy, etc. After about a month I really started to notice that I was feeling better. As my energy increased so did my activity. By late December I decided to look into other opportunities for weight loss. I went back and met with the staff onsite, Samantha has been my point of contact throughout. She gave me a plan for intermittent fasting and I started a weekly lipotropic B-12 injection regimen. From January to date I am happy to report that I am down nearly 60 lbs! I have lab work done every couple/few months to test hormone, thyroid and other endocrine functions. Dr. Thakkar and his team have been great to work with. For anyone that needs a little support or that nudge to start to live a healthier lifestyle, please give them a chance, you won't regret it!

The staff is incredible and Dr. Thakkar is the best. They definitely put the patient first. I’ve lost weight and have kept it off. Dr. Thakkar is also the first physician who heard my issues and found my thyroid was part of my issue.
