I cant say enough positive things about Dr. Thakkar and his staff! Ive been coming here for 4 months so far. Their approach to wellness is different than anything Ive encountered. They help you achieve a healthy lifestyle that you can maintain! They spend a lot of time getting to know you and your whole health history. They do lab work and hormone testing if indicated. Dr. Thakkar discovered health issues that I have had for my whole adult life, that no other doctor had found, and has already reversed it! I have more energy than I have ever had. They have me on a great regiment of vitamins as well. Barbara is also amazing! She always goes above and beyond for anything I need and is always available to me! She is informative, supportive, and very knowledgeable in the wellness programs offered here. I would recommend them to my family, friends, and anyone else who asked!
I started seeing Dr. Thakkar in October of 2019 for hormone replacement. I was feeling really run down, tired, no energy, etc. After about a month I really started to notice that I was feeling better. As my energy increased so did my activity. By late December I decided to look into other opportunities for weight loss. I went back and met with the staff onsite, Samantha has been my point of contact throughout. She gave me a plan for intermittent fasting and I started a weekly lipotropic B-12 injection regimen. From January to date I am happy to report that I am down nearly 60 lbs! I have lab work done every couple/few months to test hormone, thyroid and other endocrine functions. Dr. Thakkar and his team have been great to work with. For anyone that needs a little support or that nudge to start to live a healthier lifestyle, please give them a chance, you wont regret it!
I went on the hcg diet lost 36lbs and have learned a new way to eat and so much more! I have taken thyroid medicine for about 15 years and my numbers have been up and down and Chicago weight loss clinic checked my hormone levels and found out I had not one but two autoimmune diseases that pertained to my thyroid. Since then I have been on their thyroid medication and my numbers are looking great not to say my weight is finally coming off.It is not an easy weight loss plan you can’t take a magic pill, but it is a great program with a great app and lots of support! I highly recommend Chicago Weight loss especially the Rockford location Samatha is an absolute doll who makes you feel so special. Thanks again Samantha!
I’m 21 and I’ve struggled with my weight since when I was a kid. I started going to Chicago Weight loss and Wellness clinic about 4 weeks ago and have lost 26 lbs on the HCG treatment! The staff is super nice and are there for any questions and support. Honestly highly recommend!
At age 55, I had a hysterectomy and quit smoking. The weight piled on. Even with regular exercise, and what I thought were good eating habits, I was heavier than I had ever been in my life and tired of saying mean things to myself every time I looked in the mirror. Using this program made it easy to lose 30 pounds in under 9 weeks and 2 months later, I am keeping it off.Thanks Samantha!
Had great initial success with losing weight, but then there were some issues with communication and I was not able to complete the counseling that was part of my package. I was upset anout not getting what I paid for, but then Dr. Thakkar reached out to me and was able to rectify the issues, so now I am able to continue my journey. Dr. Thakkar really cares about the success of his patients!
After 3 babies I finally was able to lose the weight and kept it off with the help of the health coaches at Chicago weight loss! I lost 30 lbs in total and was finally able to wear a swim suit and play with my kids with confidence ! I recommend to anyone in a rut that needs some help reaching there goal! These people really seem to care !
Dr. Thacker and his staff are amazing. Karen and Jennifer have been a huge part of my success. I have had thyroid issues for a long time and couldnt get my primary doctor to even do a full thyroid panel test. Dr. Thacker has been regulating my thyroid and monitoring it closely. He also identified my hormone imbalances. They are very attentive and help hold you accountable. I have definitely lost weight, but the best part is I finally feel good! I have actually have energy I havent had in years. This is not just a weight loss clinic. The staff make sure you are healthy physically, mentally, and help with your overall well being! I will definitely be a life long patient!
This medical weight loss center worked for me. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and felt great the entire time! My blood pressure went down My cholesterol level improved. My energy level went up and my appetite got under control. Can you imagine yourself 30 pounds lighter with a waste size 4 to 6 inches smaller? Stop imagining it and live it. If you are wanting to safely loose weight and improve your health, Chicago Medical Weight Loss is definitely worth checking out. Dr Thakkar is a physician whom I have learned to trust, not only with my weight loss, but with my future improvement in my athletic ability.
My husband did the HCG diet for 9 weeks (per protocol) and lost some weight - maybe 32 lbs. Then he says he had to stop the HCG diet per protocol for 8 weeks. During the time off of the diet there has been no follow up or guidance and he has gained all of the weight back. This was a total waste of our time and money.
I have lost 50lbs with Chicago Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic in Rockford and Im still going strong! Ive tried so many diets but all of them have failed. I am so excited to finally have found something that really works! I recommend Chicago Weight Loss to all of my friends and family! I was boarder line diabetic and at my last check up my doctor was so impressed and I am no longer at risk for diabetes! This has changed my whole life style. Im much happier and lighter!
I highly recommend Chicago Weight Loss & Wellness. Darcing is very nice and motivating. She is available anytime to answer any questions s that I have on my diet. She expresses how proud she is of my weight loss every week. I have lost 32 lbs. in the 6 weeks and I have a lot more energy.
Very helpful. Have lost so much weight & quickly. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
I started my new way of living on March 10, 2017, @ 251lbs. My height is 510, on 4 shots of insulin a day.(1 long term and 3 instant shots for meals.) After 8 weeks of the program, I was able to get off my insulin. That is worth it even if I did not lose any weight, but I did. I am in maintenance now and still continuing to lose weight. It is June 2017 and my weight is 183. total of 68lbs. The program was easy to follow and with the help of Karen made it very possible to stay focus. You see results daily and it is very easy to stay motivated. Karen is FANTASTIC. She was so concerned with my diabetes, that she gave me her personal cell number if I had any problems. I work in a health care field and you dont hear about that very often. The only negative thing I have to say is, that I had to go purchase a new clothes. Thanks Karen and Dr. Thacker for saving my health and for giving me another chance in life.
Lost over 20 lbs. Great staff very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
Darcy is the best. Incredibly helpful and supportive staff! I met and exceeded all of my weight loss goals quickly and easily with their help. Highly recommended.
Great 1st experience here with Samantha! I’ve had a stomach bug for the past week and decided to try an IV to rehydrate me and find relief, and it worked! Thanks so much and I will def be back and refer friends/family.
My experience at CWL was very positive and informative. There is a science to weight loss and gain that I didn’t comprehend beyond what is “good” for you and what isn’t. This is something I never imagined I would do but was recommended to me by a friend and nurse practitioner.
Friendly staff; Monica was a lot of help. Tried the B12 shots :)
Your weight will come off fast...if you follow the program..You can reach your goals and keep the weight off...Best weight loss service!!! Anita is great!!
Dr. Anand Thakkar and his assistant Jennifer are OUTSTANDING!!!I have lost about 15 pounds and have more energy than I have had in a long time. I get their methylcobalamin B-12 shots weekly. In addition, Dr. Thakkar has helped me with my existing Hypothyroid/Hashimotos condition. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Thakkars expertise in this area!
Chgo weightloss and wellness is super awesome. the results ive experienced are amazing. the consultant Jennifer takes her time to talk with you from a whole body and mind perspective. I strongly recommend this little sanctuary to anyone wishing and willing to exercise a new way of living!
I always feel welcome and encouraged with my progress.
Very helpful and polite. I have really enjoyed working with them.
This company is the worst! They don’t pay there bills after the work is done! My company did $1000 worth of work for this company! They tried to paid half because they said that’s all they think they owe! How do you agree to a price then have the work done and then try to negotiate?! BEWARE THE OWNER IS LOW LIFE! The owner tells me that he knows people in rockford that he not worry about my during him or taking him to court!
The clinic staff worked with my schedule, and made it so easy to meet and schedule an appointment. They helped me to lose the weight, and I am very pleased with the result.
Dr. Thakkar truly cares about his clients! I had a problem and he personally handled it and made me feel soooo much better! Thank you so much!
Love the staff! Darcy is extremely supportive and helpful. They hold you accountable and push you to meet your own goals! Highly recommend them!!
This place is amazing! I’ve lost 12 pounds within the first 2 weeks! Staff is wonderful and I am so happy that I made the choice to come here! 10/10 would recommend!
Dr. Thakkar and his staff have always been extremely professional and eager to assess my personal health and develope the most beneficial treatment plan. Couldnt be happier.
I just started 3 weeks ago and feeling great. Darcy is very helpful and efficient. I look forward to great results.
Darcy is the best! I would recommend checking this place out! It’s more than just weight loss! Love the vitamins and CBD options!!!

2022-01-25I went to Chicago Weight Loss, Rockford location, just looking for an appetite suppressant.Dr. Thakkar ordered blood work at an independent lab to check my vitamin and hormone levels and then introduced me to the HCG protocol during the free consultation. I researched it and found a lot of benefits that convinced me to try it (I no longer have hypertension or shortness of breath, and my metabolism is higher now). I was also very happy that Dr. Thakkar provides vitamin, enzyme and probiotic supplements along with the HCG. My research led me to 2 books that I found VERY helpful: Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity by A.T.W. Simeons, M. D. and Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the HCG Protocol by Robin Phipps Woodall.I ended up doing the HCG program along with an appetite suppressant for 6 weeks, then a 3 week transition period back to a healthy diet, during which I continued to lose weight at a slower period.From Nov 8-Dec 19, 2021 (using HCG), I lost 31.2 lbs. From Dec 20-Jan 9, 2022 (transition period), I lost 10.2 lbs. As of today, Jan 25, 2022 I have maintained that weight loss with no more than 3 lbs of fluctuation. I lost 6.1% fat mass, while maintaining my muscle and water mass, according to my body scale.I did not have problems with unmanageable food cravings (except during that time of month) and often ate less than the prescribed amount because I was satisfied. The protocol is heavy on food prep, since it is mostly unprocessed, whole foods. Soups were my mainstay because they are filling and easy to prepare, store, and pack for lunch. Another upside is that I’ve saved a lot of money on my grocery bill not buying the name brand processed foods.Dr. Thakkar also found out from the lab work that I have a lower than normal level of three different hormones, and a higher than normal level in one. My thyroid was normal, always has been, but it was the only hormone level other doctors ever checked when I complained of the chronic fatigue.I am very happy with my results and experience and am planning to do the Lifestyle program (this is how I decided to maintain my weight with the doctor’s supervision, I didn’t want to go off on my own yet) until spring, when I would like to do one more round of HCG protocol. It costs a fair amount of money, but nowhere near the amount of money, time, and energy it costs me to be sick and overweight. If you are serious about making changes, I recommend Dr. Thakkar’s business wholeheartedly. I wish my general practitioner and cardiologist would get on board with weight loss as a disease preventative instead of just prescribing me more medications all the time.

2022-03-15Chicago weight loss has been a lifesaver. I have tried everything just to lose almost no weight. With them, I am shedding pounds. They are there for stalls and to get you ready for going back to every day eating habits. 10/10 recommend

2022-05-05The staff is incredible and Dr. Thakkar is the best. They definitely put the patient first. I’ve lost weight and have kept it off. Dr. Thakkar is also the first physician who heard my issues and found my thyroid was part of my issue.

2021-04-30I am beyond proud of the decision I made to do something impactful about my personal health, but I knew I needed help if I was going to be successful. I started doing research online & found Chicago Weightloss Clinic. I scheduled an appointment and everything changed for the better. With support & education from Anita & a specific plan from Dr. Thakkar, I didn’t just achieve my goal, but surpassed my goal in record time. I feel amazing & look pretty amazing too. My biggest problem at the moment is that all my cloths are too big... which is a fantastic problem to have. My confidence & energy are through the roof. My only regret is that I didn’t know about Dr. Thakkar & Anita sooner. If you want support and direction from people that actually care about you in a positive & uplifting environment... then this is the clinic for you.

2021-05-11My experience with the Rockford office the first time was a tad chaotic . I started my program at a time when staffing was in a transition. I did lose weight and I must say that Dr Thakkar and Barb are super congenial, and helpful, I did enjoy them. I voiced my concerns and Dr Thakkar went out of his way to address them and work with me . I am trying the program again.
