Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Chastanet has been my doctor since October, 2019. She was literally a Godsend to me! She is the most caring, compassionate, and understanding doctor I have ever been to! Dr. Chastanet takes her time with you and listens and she genuinely cares about your health! She has so much experience and knowledge in the field of weight loss and internal medicine. I cannot stand going to the doctor but I would look forward to seeing her as she helped me get my excess weight off! Her office staff are amazing too! The kindest nurse, nutritionist, etc.. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team there! I highly recommend Dr. Chastanet to anyone who wants a positive experience and their health concerns addressed properly! She is the very BEST!! I am now thin and healthy because of her and I can thank her for saving my life!!!

My story The beginning may sound a little familiar. You become an adult, get a job, get married, have children, next thing you know you start putting on a few pounds – every year. Before you know it you’re 45 lbs overweight. You think to yourself, how did this happen, I have to do something. That’s what happened to me.
