Dr. Lisa Oldson, MD

I truly value the additional information that Dr. Lisa always includes in her communication, as well as the extra encouragement. Dr. Lisa is very unique and special in that she is not only up on the newest research and information, but even more importantly, I feel like I'm not just a number, but a person that she truly cares about. Her warmth does not go unnoticed.

I have written this review three times because it’s so hard to find the words to say how grateful I am that Dr. Lisa has helped me become a healthier person. The struggle is real with weight loss and so many methods out there can make you crazy. Dr. Lisa was exactly what I needed. Her knowledge, understanding, compassion, patience, optimism, and passion for helping others just shines through when working with her. She holds your hand when you need it and gives you a loving push when you need that too. I would recommend her for anyone who is ready to make a life long change and is ready to put both feet in. Even when you make mistakes she gives you the tools to pick yourself up and move forward. She has been a shining star in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa and her program.

I starting seeing Dr. Lisa about a year ago after years of unsustained efforts to lose weight. Sad and desperate, Lisa helped me understand my weight issues were far more than an issue of will power and character. Through kindness and science she showed me a path where I became successful and confident and now one year later I have lost nearly 60 pounds and am healthier than I have been in 30 years. Now I am on the path to maintenance but I feel like I have the tools and support to put this health challenge behind me for good. I highly recommend Lisa if you are considering changing the path of your health for good.

Dr. Oldson has brought a new and refreshing perspective to my weight loss journey. I’m an experienced dieter but have struggled with maintaining healthy habits after losing weight. She quickly introduced me to the concept of “practicing” and that I need to give myself the time to learn new ways. Dr. Oldson has a gift to bring out your inner strength, motivation, and I have already seen healthy results after only a few months. I appreciate her quick response to my email questions and sharing the most recent medical research to support my journey. I truly recommend Dr. Oldson.

I promised to wait until I hit a weight loss of 50 pounds before writing my review. When I started with Dr. Oldson, I didn't even know that was a possibility. Here I am, almost 10 months later and 50 pounds down. Dr. Oldson has been gentle, calm, and reassuring throughout this journey. I know she will continue to be there as I work to maintain this weight loss as well. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to start seeing her.

Dr. Lisa has helped me a lot with my weight loss struggles. She's smart and funny and motivational and explains things well. I think she's the bee's knees.

Dr. Oldson's personal care style, as well as her experience in dealing with obesity issues and the human behavior components - her treatment has truly changed my life. I have worked with her for over two years through my acceptance of my healthy issues and creating a weight loss journey. She has helped increase my knowledge through sharing and the latest medical research, working with me on frequent goals, and helping to hold me accountable to report on the goals. Her compassion for the whole person and experience is very evident. I would highly recommend Dr. Lisa Oldson for anyone that wants to make a positive change with their own obesity, weight loss, or weight management.

Dr. Oldson understands that weight loss is far, far more than just simply "educating"people about what to eat and what not to eat, and nagging at people to exercise more. Most people know what to eat and how to exercise, but stress, lack of sleep, and modern work and family demands get in the way. Lisa is amazingly supportive and helps put the pieces -- slowly and gently -- into place. She distills all of the current research into a manageable package, without negative stereotyping. Go see her.

Dr. Oldson has taught me how to make correct choices for my health and my weight challenges. She takes time to listen and learn about my family and work schedules in order to make a food and exercise routine that works for me. She explains my medical condition and how food works in a way I can understand. She has also gone to bat for me on some insurance/prescription issues that I had. which lead to a positive outcome.

After years of unsuccessful attempts to lose weight by following several different diets, I finally found for me a winning formula: the medical guidance, coaching and weight loss strategies of obesity specialist Dr. Lisa Oldson, MD. Over a 9-month period of careful eating - eliminating carbs, reducing fats and added sugars, regular weight bearing and aerobic exercise, and daily food journaling, I have lost 45 lbs. Thank you Dr. Oldson for your support on my journey toward healthier living!!

I have worked with Dr. Lisa Oldson for about two years. She is well grounded in the most current obesity research and advises what is shown to work. Her deep knowledge of how the body processes food has been very helpful to me. I find her supportive and practical.

I have struggled with binge eating disorder (BED) for several years and have gone to various therapists, 12 step meetings and outpatient programs with limited success. Since I have been seeing Dr. Oldson, I have learned how to balance nutritional needs while still enjoying food. I am developing a healthy and sustainable lifestyle based on evidence based data as well as Dr. Oldson's expert insight into weight loss and BED challenges. Best of all I have lost significant weight and kept it off!

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Oldson for 2 years now. She is the most compassionate doctor that I have ever encountered when it comes to weight loss. We meet every week to walk our follow up appointments and come up with strategies for the upcoming events. Something I learned from Dr. Oldson was that even a failure wasn't truly a failure. It was a real life event that needed to be addressed so that I knew how to handle it next time. She is always available through email!
