Dr. Cesar Augusto Lara, MD

I went there for Formnovelle Green Laser Body Sculpting. I did everything I was told to do, including wearing a compression garment. I follow a healthy diet and exercise daily. I’ve had various cosmetic procedures, so I did not go into this with unrealistic expectations. After eight weeks of treatment, there was no visible difference whatsoever. This was very disappointing, as I was planning to have other areas treated if I had good results. I was not offered further treatment or any explanation. It was a waste of time and money.

This is the last place I would consider if you want long term results. When I first signed up for the plan a woman told me that she lost all this weight and then gained it all back. The weight only stays off for as long as you are forking over money for the whole program. The really old internist is incompetent which leads to even more money being spent on unnecessary testing. This isn't surprising considering he has malpractice issues. Office staff is catty, unprofessional and just plain nasty. STAY AWAY!

Very happy with the women who work at the Saint Petersburg office particularly Kristen Nelly and Susie. They were conscientious hard-working considerate and caring people. Very accommodating with my schedule. Some of the most outstanding service I’ve ever received anywhere

Diet program is terrible and unhealthy

I was at the point where I knew I could not lose the weight on my own. The guidance of Dr. Lara and his team was priceless. In six months I have lost almost 40 pounds. I am smiling again. I have consistently lost weight every single week. It makes me feel that no matter what is going on in my life, something positive is going to happen when I look at the scale. I then also decided to start the bio-identical hormone treatment and now I look great and feel great all at the same time. Dr. Lara has helped me get back my confidence and self-worth.

Dr. Lara is so gifted at what he does. He helped me get through a lot of mental obstacles that were holding me back from achieving the health I always wanted. And his office staff were always so supportive and kind throughout the process. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Lara. I will forever be grateful!!

The best weight loss doctor in the tampa bay area!!

TERRIBLE 1ST VISIT EMAILED ME THE WRONG PAPER WORK,LEFT SITTING IN WATING AREA FOR AN HOUR WITH NO OTHER PATIENTS IN THERE.

This is an excellent program.

I went to the 4th St. office St. Petersburg. If you join pay as you go. Because I pre paid, I was not given the help I needed to follow the diet, they had the money. I was given the smallest dosage of medication which did nothing to control. The nurse was very nice, she would ask the doctor for help, he just typed on his computer and did nothing to help. I gave up and even though I paid, I don't bother going back as there was help for me. The doctor does not rate so much as one star.
