Real Google reviews from real patients. We don't write these — they do.

Most medical practices don't make it easy to read what real patients say. They bury reviews two clicks deep. They cherry-pick one quote for the homepage. They post curated testimonials without names, dates, or sources.
We do the opposite. Every review on this page links back to a real Google profile. Every name is the name that patient chose to use. Every star count is independently verified by Google.
There's a reason for that transparency. Cash-pay concierge medicine is one of the most accountable forms of healthcare in America — there's no insurance company between you and your provider, no corporate billing department, no prior authorization process to hide behind. If a patient feels they didn't get value, they leave. And they leave a review. The reviews you read here are the practice's actual feedback loop, in public, every day. That's the kind of accountability we built the clinic around.
Excellent clinic, Matt and his staff do a fantastic job. Always encouraging and helps you stick with your weight loss plans. Very attentive and responsive. The best clinic around, hands down!
Matt and his team are always so nice and welcoming. I always feel comfortable and supported. I have had nothing but a great experience here. I would 100% recommend Optimized Health to anyone.
Great people, very helpful and informative.
Excellent care! I first tried weight loss injections about 2 years ago. That prescriber did no patient education and would increase my dose every month. I rapidly lost weight. Too fast. Stopped the meds, regained back all the weight plus lost muscle mass. I've been going to Optimized Health since September and I've lost a healthy, stable amount of weight. And I've lost NO muscle mass (they have a fancy machine that will tell you!)!!! Highly recommend! They aren't just changing my scale results, they are changing my life!
Optimized Health has the best staff and help guide me through my journey to lose the weight (60 lbs). Now we are on maintenance. Highly recommend!
I'm extremely happy with my results. So far I've lost 40 lbs. The employees there are so respectful and will answer all your questions.
A five-star rating tells you patients are satisfied. The actual reviews tell you why.
When you read through ours, look for the specifics: body composition changes, not just weight numbers. Lab markers moving in the right direction. Energy returning. Sleep improving. Patients naming staff by name. Stories of switching from somewhere else and finally getting it right.
That's how you know you're reading reviews from people who actually engaged with the clinical process — not just satisfied customers who got a good vibe at the front desk. The patients who do the work get the results. They also tend to write the most detailed reviews.
Before you book anywhere — us included — here's what to look for when scanning reviews. Five signals separate genuine care from marketing theater:
Real reviews mention specific clinicians by name. Reviews that only say 'the staff' or 'everyone' without specifics suggest patients didn't form a real clinical relationship.
'Best clinic ever' tells you nothing. 'I'd plateaued at 195 lbs for two years and we adjusted my protocol three times to break through' tells you everything.
Real care takes months. Reviews that mention follow-ups, adjustments, or being there over a year describe sustained outcomes — not first-visit excitement.
The most credible reviews often mention something tried that didn't pan out, or a moment of doubt before things clicked. Perfect-from-day-one reviews are statistically suspect.
Patients who paid out of pocket tend to leave more candid reviews than patients whose insurance billed for them. They've thought about whether the care was worth what they spent.
Apply that framework to any clinic you're considering. Then apply it to ours.
Man I don't normally do reviews but I had to for Matt and his clinic Optimized Health! Matt the owner and provider at the clinic was super chill, I never felt rushed or pushed into anything — he took time to explain all the options that were available to me.
Optimized Health, with providers Matt and Hilary, are AWESOME. Both are very knowledgeable and only want to help everyone achieve their wellness goals. I recommend them hands down.
Very positive experience. I wish I had known laser hair removal was so simple and affordable years ago. Kate was amazing and walked me through the whole process. Highly recommend. Matt and Michelle have developed a top-notch clinic to meet several niche needs in our community.
During my 2nd month, I experienced severe nausea to the point I was ready to quit. The staff worked with me to change the medication and solve the problem. I am very pleased with my results.
Matt and Leigh are both great to work with. They answered my questions in a caring, non-rushed way. I'm very happy with the outcome.
Always responsive and great to work with. Listen to the concerns I have and address them with honesty.
Read enough healthcare reviews and you start noticing a pattern. Clinics that overpromise tend to generate short, glowing, interchangeable reviews — 'great staff, highly recommend' — because that's the depth of relationship patients had with them.
Clinics that practice genuine care generate longer, more specific reviews. Patients mention the conversation where their clinician recommended waiting on a medication, or the follow-up that caught a lab number going the wrong way, or the protocol adjustment because their first one wasn't quite working. They mention being heard. Not being rushed. Getting straight answers about cost before any commitment.
Read through ours and you'll see that pattern: real names, named clinicians, mentions of body composition machines and lab panels, switches from other providers, specifics about what changed and over what timeframe. That's not an accident, it's the kind of patient relationship our model is built to create.
