I've been with Doctor Richardson since 2015 when pivot weight loss center was then "weightloss institute of AZ". I refused to go to any other doctor or location! Recently had the sleeve done through Pivot Weight Loss Center with Dr. Richardson and the rest of the staff. I will always highly recommend and follow them.
I had the MOST AMAZING meeting at Pivot and I have decided to go forward with this great team! I have talked with a few other establishments and had actually been all set to go through with the sleeve surgery with another doctor until I found Pivot and spoke with them.
I had my surgery on January 10, 2024. Dr John debarros is a great and professionally doctor. He explained the entire process and made me feel comfortable and did a great job on repairing my hernia. He also is the best because he is a huge New York yankee fan. Thank you so much for helping me.
I’ve had an amazing experience with Dr. DeBarros and the team and Pivot Weight Loss. The process was quick and thorough and they have done everything to ensure I continue to stay healthy while continuing to lose weight. Highly recommended!
had my surgery Feb 6th and have had the best experience ever with Dr. Schuster and his team. i did the gastric sleeve and have had no complications. if you are considering it i highly recommend pivot weight loss.
I'm getting great support through my journey. The team at Pivot are always checking in on me. They never make you feel like you aren't trying hard enough. So supportive and genuine when caring for you.
Dr Schuster is a literal all star. His team is remarkable. The level of attention and concern for patients comfort is unsurpassed. I will recommend Pivot to anyone who will listen.
The doctors and staff are totally awesome. They make you feel like a true human being and are very knowledgeable about weight loss and everything that is needed to succeed.
Visited for a family member. We were able to have all my questions answered and she was given the relief she needed. I did over 10 consults and this was clearly the top bariatric centre. We did not have insurance but they worked with us to find a way. Super excited for this new journey and to have an amazing team behind us!
The team over at Pivot are top notch. My journey was extremely smooth and I felt supported the entire time. I’m down 45 pounds in two months! I cannot tell you how great I feel and how different my life now is. I wish I would’ve done this sooner!
Fantastic experience at the Weight Loss Institute. Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful making sure every detail was lined up. For me selecting a doctor for this procedure was a little overwhelming. From internet connection to consultation I can say it was a wonderful, smooth and easy process.
Wonderful staff. VERY welcoming, especially (forgive me I can’t remember her name but the MA) and Mike the dietician is phenomenal! Looking forward to this process.
I loveeeeeeeee my dr and staff so sweet. Thank you for giving me a second chance
Very personable, welcoming and comforting environment. The one on one treatment is great. I like the communication given. It’s real. Real people know real people. If I could give them more stars…
