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. Briones Is a fantastic doctor! She listens to my issues with great concern and compassion. She gives her complete attention to me and never rushes the visit. I strongly recommend doctor Briones to anyone. The best doctor I have ever had.

Dr Briones is an exceptional doctor. She not only is compassionate about her patients, but she manages to keep me on track and not beat myself up over an increase in weight. I utilize optifast milkshakes and soups to help trim me down.I relie on a good meal with little exercise and it does work. She is a very good dr

I’ve been seeing the doctor for a couple years now, and I can personally say in good faith that choosing Dr. Briones as my weight loss doctor was the first step in losing 50lbs at such a fast rate. I can finally go to beach without being ashamed of my body and im finally comfortable in my own skin. But her greatness doesnt end there. Beyond her professionalism & coherence in the field weight loss medicine, Dr. Briones is almost like a shoulder to cry on sometimes. She is very passionate in what she does & it kills her to see when her patients struggle with their weight. Perhaps the most compassionate doctor I have ever encountered throughout my choosing of several different weight loss doctors. I finally believe I found the perfect doctor! I recommend Dr. Briones to anyone who even needs simple moral support because she is the most open eared person I have ever found in a Doctor.

Dr. Briones always seems happy to see her patients...she takes the time to 'listen' to me about how I am feeling...which is somewhat unusual in today's fast-paced world; she is one of the few doctors who have this quality, and it makes me feel like I matter, like I am not just a number.

For years I had been struggling with my weight. I bumped into a of friend of mine who I had not seen in years who looked wonderful and super healthy. She shared with me how easy and stress free it was for her to loose weight thanks to Dr. Briones. I had the same experience! Dr. Briones is an extremely professional and caring person. She takes the time to really care about her patience well-being.

I have lost well over 225lbs here at Dr Briones Weight Loss Center. No surgery, just lots of monitoring, care and help along the way. Dr Briones is very experienced in this area and can explain everything to you in a way anyone could understand. I just followed what she said to do and I am happy and healthier than I've been in my entire life! I'm older and losing weight as we get older can be difficult. This was so much easier to do this way.

I have been working with Dr Briones for over 3 years. I came to Dr B initially for her weight loss program. I was so happy with her care I decided to see her as my PC. She is always willing to listen and go over options concerning my health. Dr B is prompt to respond to a phone call or text. I can't say enough good things. I HIGHLY recommend DR B for all of your hetth care needs. T. O'Connell
