Fantastic experience: Dr. Lara and his team are very professional. I recommend them highly.
Thank you for your kind words we strive to provide the highest quality service.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lara's Weight Loss Center saved my life. He always said mindset is the key to releasing weight on his program and keeping it off. (Daily mantras are very important). Dr Lara has helped me in many ways, encourages me, and is very nice and insightful. He and his program are the BEST!! Dr Lara, thanks for your guidance to be the best me I can be!! Earlier, I released 22 lbs (in 10 weeks) that I will never have again. Yay!! I stopped going to Dr Lara for a while (though I should have stayed). I started back in Aug. 2024 and did his 12 week program. I lost another 28 lbs. Also, I have type 2 diabetes. In January 2024 my A1C was 10.8. and December 2024 it is 6.3 and I am sure will be lower next time. I am so grateful for Dr Lara and his team. Check out Dr. Lara's Weight Loss Centers in Dunedin or St. Petersburg, FL. You won't regret it! It could save your life too and/or give you a better one.

Fantastic experience: Dr Lara's Palm Harbor location, is the only place I ever go to do the weight loss program. They do know what they are doing... before I started the program I had lost 10 lbs.. but now I am down a total of 50 lbs and it's been about 8 months. Stick to it, follow it.... it is SUCCESSFUL. I went from 220's... and I'm down to 159 and I am still going.

Fantastic experience: I have tried many weight loss programs and I did not have success. Dr. Lara's program offers so much more than nutrition. It offers nutrition, supplements and much more. I was feeling tired, loss of concentration, gut issues and was sleeping around a couple of hours a night. I was gaining weight and could not control it no matter what I tried After nine weeks with Dr. Lara's program I am feeling amazing. I have lost 19 pounds and all the health issues that I had mentioned are no more an issue. I am fitting into clothes that did not fit me before and when I look into the mirror I can finally feel and look fantastic. I am so grateful for this amazing plan, and the staff are very supportive in so many ways. Patients and an open mind is how I started when I joined and have received amazing results. I can honestly say you will want to give Dr Lara's plan a try because you will receive positive results. Joanne

Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for encouraging others to take this positive step toward better health and wellness!
Fantastic experience: I have been doing the BHRT program with Cesar Lara for almost 7 years now and it has really helped me with preventing hair loss, dry skin, belly fat and all the things that come with aging. As we get older our bodies change and doesn't produce essential nutrients that are required to keep us looking and feeling good. So it is important to understand that the body needs some help with replenishing it. Dr Lara's office has more knowledge about hormone replacement than anyone in the Tampa Bay area. If you are feeling tired all the time and can't seem to get rid of the gut even though you are eating a healthy diet and exercising then this program may be the perfect answer for you.
Wendy, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Dr. Lara's BHRT program! We truly appreciate your trust and are so happy you are seeing the results we know are possible. Your health and success is our one and only priority and that you continue feeling healthy, strong and youthful. Thank you Wendy!

Fantastic experience: Dr Lara’s team provides great service and support. The program provides real and manageable results, while their coaching and guidance keeps me on track. The best thing about visiting is the interaction with the helpful people in the office. Alex is super and greets me nearly every week with a smile and a positive perspective on my personal journey. The other staff in the office from the reception desk to the checkout desk are all very professional, friendly and supportive. I definitely would recommend the Dr Lara team and their unique program.

Fantastic experience: After a long cancer journey that involved twenty sessions of chemotherapy with steroids I gained weight that even after two years of intermittent fasting I couldn't get rid of. I was inclined to do whatever it takes to get back in shape. I started the weight loss treatment with Dr. Lara's close monitoring. Today I lost 20 pounds; feel great and kept it off. The treatment support it my new size and eating habits. It has been more than nine months since I stopped and I feel fabulous

Fantastic experience: My name is Kerri I have been on HRT, hormone replacement therapy through Dr. Lara’s clinic for two years. This therapy has been so helpful to me. I feel calm, strong, and happy. I have found both the staff and most importantly Connie who has been working with me on my journey to be both professional and accessible at all times. I would highly recommend them to anyone who struggles with the imbalance I had before getting on HRT. I feel it gives me a chance to truly enjoy the life that God wants for me

Fantastic experience: I am in the hormone replacement program with Dr César Lara and I can say that I highly recommend it since my life has changed favorably, reaching 60 years old feeling 40 is a blessing.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact Dr. César Lara's hormone replacement program has had on your life. It's truly heartwarming to know that at 60, you're feeling as youthful and energetic as someone much younger. Your endorsement speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the program, and we appreciate your recommendation. Here's to continued health and vitality!
Negative experience: My daughter went and is lucky she got away. This "program" was very detrimental to her mentally and physically. She only quit after she ran out of money. Most of these reviews state how they have been with Lara for YEARS! These patients don't even know anymore how screwed up they are. It's like the Hotel California. You can check in but you can never leave. (Unless you run out of money)
I am very sorry to hear this but we have no record of your daughter being seen in our practice so you are mistaken. Our focus is always upon quality and compassionate individualized care. We implement evidence based science and the individuals experience as our guide so your perspective is totally uncharacteristic of our practice.
Fantastic experience: I love the office staff. Always work with you on appointments and usually no wait. Did the twelve week awakening and lost over 30 lbs. Diet is very doable and medication really helps. My bloodwork improved and I feel great. Still have more to lose but confident I ,with the help of Dr Lara’s wonderful staff I will get there.

Fantastic experience: I have been on my journey to better health for about a year and have seen amazing results working with the team at Dr. Lara’s office. I am down 37.5 pounds and am feeling great.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey in April 2023 I lost 50lbs by November. I am now continuing my journey to lose 20lbs to reach my goal weight. The program is sooo good!!! The support I received was amazing. My husband prepared meals and without any of the supplements he lost 27lbs. This accomplishment by following the program also.We have been in Pinellas County for over 30 years and remembered our County Sheriff's going on this program even that many years ago. Dr. Lara has a proven track record in health and weight loss and I would recommend his program to anyone who wants to get healthy and lose weight. I am type 2 diabetic insulin dependant and at this time My AIC is lower than it has ever been and have lowered necessity for insulin. Anne Clark-Alder. 7 December 2023.

Losing 50lbs in just seven months is a remarkable achievement, and it's inspiring to hear that you're continuing your journey to reach your goal weight.

Fantastic experience: When I arrived at Dr. Lara's office for my first appointment, I knew I was in the right place. Everyone is so incredibly kind and encouraging. They understand life happens and will talk about it with you if you don't have the greatest week. I chose Dr. Lara's office after years of telling other doctors my symptoms and being told it was just part of aging. I am so happy with the 12 week program that I am repeating it as I have quite a bit of weight to lose and it would not be healthy to do in the first 12 weeks. It is not just about the weight loss. I feel so much healthier, more energetic, and overall just feeling so much better. Life is becoming fun again. My tips for being successful: 1. Move a little each day, even if it is just for 15 minutes. 2. Don't box yourself in and get bored. Don't eat just plain chicken and a vegetable for your meals. There are so many great recipes on Dr. Lara's website. Also there are many recipes on the internet for some favorite comfort foods that work on the program. My favorite Dr. Lara recipes are the Blue Cheese and chicken salad, and the broccoli casserole. 3. Remember to be kind to yourself. You started this journey for you. We all have work, family obligations and other things in life. Always Celebrate the little things that may not be scale related. This can be your pants fitting looser to being able to take a longer walk one day. When I hit my goal weight, I will upload a before and after photo.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my 4th week of the 12 week awakening program and I cannot say better things about it. I am consistently losing around 3 pounds a week and finally seeing the weight shed off of me is the most rewarding thing. I’ve been trying to loose weight all year and this program has finally allowed me to do so. Alex has been so incredibly sweet and supportive and I again can’t say better things about her. I highly recommend this program if you are on the fence about it, you really won’t regret it and the happiness it brings.
A huge thank you to you Maddey for taking the time and to give us this wonderful review! We are so happy for you and excited to be a part of your journey!
Negative experience: I paid for the very expensive (around $2k) Awakening treatment with no permanent results. At my first appointment, I informed the doctor that I was struggling with an eating disorder and attempted to explain how my relationship with food, caused by childhood trauma, made losing weight very difficult no matter how I tried. She looked at me as if I was attempting to explain how buying a lottery ticket with my kid's only lunch money was essential and just talked over me and ignored everything I said. In future visits when I brought up how the diet and supplements were making me feel (weak and faint, very nauseous, causing bad odors and extreme sweatiness, severe brainfog and confusion due to eating only 500-1000 cals/day with a very active job etc.) she scoffed and told me "I think you just had a bad week" and told me to spend MORE money on protein shakes or their special diet bars. She always acted very condescending and talked down to me like I was stupid and dismissed my concerns. It was a miserable experience and a very strict and sudden diet change which I was unable to stick to, causing me to end up starving myself and not drinking water for 24-48hrs before each humiliating weigh-in so that I would at least maintain the previous week's weight. Describing the experience to my therapist made her extremely concerned and she urged me to stop the program immediately and recommended emergency care at a live-in eating disorder facility. This place does NOT promote a healthy relationship to food or weight loss, instead prioritizing fast and dramatic results while encouraging you to ignore all signs your poor body is sending you to stop immediately. I hope others searching for genuine help look elsewhere and don't fall into the same trap I did.
Hello, we have reviewed our records and have no history of you being a patient with our practice. Our team focuses on a comprehensive holistic approach to weight management utilizing whole foods with a diet rich in greens, lean protein and good fats there is no counting of calories on our plan and apologize for your experience yet was not with our clinic.
Fantastic experience: I have been Dr. Lara’s patient for several years. He is a blessing in my life. I’m on the BHRT program. I feel like I have found the fountain of youth. I feel amazing! The professionalism from Dr. Lara and his staff is concierge-level. The longevity of the staff is a testament to the professional culture of the office. I would recommend Dr. Lara to anyone who wants to look and feel vibrant. Life can be challenging. It’s important to take every step to feel wonderful. Thank you Dr. Lara and team!
Thank you so much Donna! We are honored you have chosen us to turn back time and become more vibrant!
Fantastic experience: A couple of years ago I started feeling my energy levels declining, my workouts at the gym where not the same, I was referred to Dr. Lara and scheduled my consultation looking to understand what the hormone replacement program was all about. The scheduling team was able to look for an appointment that worked around my busy schedule, the first seat down with Connie left me feeling I was in the right place. I signed up for the program and since my life has change for the better. If you need your hormones balanced look no further than this practice..
Thank you for sharing your story. We are so happy to have helped you regain your energy and balance hormones in a natural way.
Fantastic experience: I am 65 years old doing Dr. Cesar Lara's Bio Identical Hormone Program (BHRT) and feel fabulous! My menopausal symptoms are a thing of the past. Dr. Lara took time to hear my symptoms and concerns and structured a plan for my needs. I don't know where I would be without his help!
Thank you so much Tammy for sharing your positive experience! We are so thrilled and honored that you have chosen Dr. Lara's BHRT program and that you are experiencing the great results we want for all of our patients. Wishing you the very best! Thank you!
Negative experience: Highly disappointed! I made an appointment to see Dr Lara. I filled out the extensive questionnaire beforehand and checked in on time. I was taken back for weigh in and blood pressure check and then put in a room. I was told the doctor was finishing with a patient and he would be with me as soon as he was done. 30 minutes later, no one came to the room. I went to the front desk and said I would have to reschedule since I left work to go to this appointment. I received no apology or excuse for being left in a room for 30 minutes. I never saw the doctor and only heard his voice in the next room for the first 5 minutes of my wait. I was very disappointed with the laissez faire attitude of the staff and the lack of respect for my time. Update 2023 - My wife has seen Dr Lara for hormone therapy and weight management. Dr Lara performed a gyno exam (totally unnecessary) and prescribed hormones, including testosterone for my wife. After 3 months, my wife's testosterone was more than 2X what is considered safe/normal for a woman and she started to grow facial hair, stopped her menstrual cycle and increased risk of heart attack/stroke. This "doctor" is unethical and unsafe. I have no hesitation to call him a sham doctor and someone who is in this as a business to make money and abuse women - all for himself. He may think he is a "shaman" and he may talk like an enlightened healer, but he is a snake oil salesman at best!
2023- Dr. Lara and his team of providers hold advanced certification in bio identical hormone replacement therapy. This includes taking a complete history and doing comprehensive physical exam, labs and EKG for both male and female patients who begin hormone replacement. We follow and monitor our patients closely and have successfully helped thousands of patients for over 30 years. I am so sorry for your experience. To ensure optimal treatment I spend ample time with my patients and apologize for running behind. I would be happy to reschedule and assist you on your journey to health. Please feel free to contact the office at 727-446-3021 to reschedule.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful office and great staff, especially Kelley Willis! Always kind and helpful... couldn't be happier with every aspect!!
That's so wonderful to hear Richard! Kelley and the whole team here are Dr. Lara's appreciate your kind words and trust in us! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your great experience. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I have been in the program going on 4 weeks. It’s been a very positive experience. I am so happy I started and didn’t put it off any longer. The staff is excellent. I really look forward to seeing Kelly every week. I am learning so much about food , what to to reach for when I want to emotionally eat. I am excited I am on this journey. The Palm Harbor team is truly helping me move towards my goals. Very grateful for this program and the people. Wish I would have started sooner!
Wow! We are so happy and excited for you Julie! To hear that you are enjoying your experience and receiving the benefits you came for is what we live to hear and why we do what we do. Keep up the fantastic work on yourself and we will be here for you. Congratulations and thank you for your kind and generous review. It really helps us get the word out.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cesar Lara was recommended to me by 2 friends. I also had another doctor recommended. I did my research & found Dr Lara was the clear choice! His holistic & comprehensive approach was the right fit that was not available in any of several other programs I looked into. No selling of packaged foods required but instead teaching you to eat regular food in a healthy way. My dad was a leader in a weight loss program so I thought I knew how to eat right. This program was eye opening & yet easy to follow. The bonus is his highly skilled staff. They’re nurses not commissioned sales people. I only wish I found them sooner. Anyone, at any age can follow this program & lose weight. Go for it! What do you have to lose except the weight.
Dear Deb, We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us and joining our program. And for doing the research to seek us out. We are genuinely touched by your very kind and generous review acknowledging the spirit and intention with which we operate. It is a gift to serve you. Thank you from Dr. Lara and his entire staff. And congratulations on your success!
Fantastic experience: I am so happy to have finally found success with weight loss! The staff at Dr. Lara's office has been phenomenal (Kathy and Connie are two of several who have taken care of me), taking the time during my weekly visit to review my progress, listen to my concerns and observations, and offer good ideas and encouragement. A huge plus for me is that the staff has offered suggestions for new foods that I like to eat, with several "eat this instead of that" substitutions. In addition, I can find all that I need to eat in my favorite grocery store. The supplements and appetite suppressant have also been very good for my overall health. I feel like I'm "balanced" again, especially where my digestion is concerned. I'm very grateful to have found Dr. Lara's "Awakening" Weight Loss Program. Thanks so much!
This is such wonderful new for us to hear Theresa! We can't thank you enough for choosing us and we are completely thrilled that our Awakening program is working for you just as we intended! We congratulate you for making these important changes to improve your health. We are truly grateful to be of service to you and for you sharing your experience publicly. It really does help us spread the word. All the beat to you and keep up then fantastic progress!

Fantastic experience: I started my weight loss journey 6 weeks ago and I have lost 18 lbs.. I am very pleased with the results and the help I have had on my journey from Kelly at Dr Lara’s office.. Thanks again for all the encouragement I get weekly.. I would fully recommend this weight loss facility.. Janet Fike Murray
18 pounds! You are doing incredible. We are thrilled to be a part of your journey. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: All my numbers are so much better, heart rate, blood pressure, blood results, and of course my weight. Also the techs are great especially Randi who’s such a nice person. Connie the dietitian tells us how to improve the numbers with great advice with natural herbs and supplements, she’s awesome! I’m so thankful for Dr. Lara and the plan that works!!
We are so happy for you Beverly! Thank you for the opportunity to help you reach your goals.
Fantastic experience: My partner and I have both been loyal patients of Dr Lara for over 3 years, mostly seeing him in his downtown St Pete location. Honestly, we can’t say ENOUGH wonderful things about Dr Lara. When I first became a patient of Dr Lara, I was 30 pounds overweight and my partner 20 pounds. Through pretty strict adherence to the plan and the personal commitments to each other to work our way to wellness, Dr Lara has gently guided us in all the right directions. His caring, calm, and gracious manner make every visit enjoyable and the careful monitoring of our health as we’re both in our 60’s is just not a service that is readily available. As a direct result of Dr Lara’s care, we can both honestly say we’re in the best health since many years, from losing our weight and keeping it off, constantly improving our physical condition through regular exercise and best of all the daily BHRT carefully monitored by Dr Lara has improved my emotionally well being tremendously. I feel like myself again. There are very few Dr’s who have the compassion for his patients as Dr Lara. He’s a Prince among men.
Wow Carol! We are completely touched by your generous, candid and very kind words. Thank you for taking the time to give Dr. Lara this absolutely wonderful review! Dr. Lara is devoted to the health of his patients and just knowing that he has made a difference in yours and your partner's life is why he gets up in the morning. Thank you so very much Carol! Thank you for posting that gorgeous picture of the two of you!
Negative experience: Hormone Replacement Nightmare! I am a 46-year-old female who has been dedicated to working out and maintaining healthy eating habits my whole life. However, in the past year, I gained 10 lbs. and was referred to Dr. Lara as a potential solution to help me lose weight and gain more energy. Upon seeing Dr. Lara for weight management, he ran blood tests and prescribed me with hormone replacements and dietary supplements. I purchased all the prescribed hormones and continued my usual healthy habits, as Dr. Lara told me there was no need to change my diet since I was already on track. I was surprised by his approach, as he did not provide me with any specific diet recommendations, only hormones. I followed his program for 4 months, but then started experiencing negative side effects from the hormones that were not explained or discussed with me at the beginning of the treatment or during consultations. Some of the symptoms I experienced were early menopause, facial hair growth, water retention, and instead of losing the initial 10 lbs, I ended up gaining an additional 5 lbs. When I expressed my concerns to Dr. Lara, he dismissed them, attributing my menopause as natural and prescribing a cream for facial hair, as well as medication for diabetes to aid weight loss. However, I disagreed with his diagnosis and sought a second opinion from my Primary Care doctor, who immediately advised me to stop the hormones due to the negative side effects. I also consulted an endocrinologist who confirmed the high levels of testosterone in my blood tests, which were extremely concerning and higher than that of a male. She started treating me to reverse the damage caused by the hormone therapy. As soon as I stopped the hormone therapy with Dr. Lara, my period returned, contradicting his earlier claim that my menopause was natural, but rather it was caused by the unnecessary high levels of hormones in my system. Now, I am facing additional time and expenses to reverse the negative side effects caused by a "one-size-fits-all" kind of treatment offered by Dr. Lara. In summary, I regret my decision and cannot recommend Dr. Lara.
Our Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement / Age management program is not a Weightloss program. It is an evidence based medical approach designed to optimize and balance hormonal health. Most commonly used for those in the Perimenopause, Menopause or Andropause stages of their life. Our intention is to provide a personalized, supportive and compassionate experience. We wish you from the bottom of our hearts, abundant health and balance, and regret that your experience was as you have described.
Fantastic experience: La dieta del Dr Lara es absolutamente fantástica, segura para la salud y perder peso de una manera fácil. El equipo es completamente profesional y amigables. Gracias por hacerme sentir muy bien y lucir más delgada.
Gracias por poner su confianza en nosotros estamos contentos de poder asisitirla con su meta de mejorar su salud a traves de nuestro programa.
Fantastic experience: Office staff is the best at st Pete office.
Thank you so much Vickie! We love our incredible staff at the St. Pete office! Thank you for your kind words and review. It means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: I have done quite a few weight loss programs like HCG, Nutrisystem, phentermine and more. The results were temporary and based on 500 calorie diets. My first visit to Dr Lara was very different. Coco was absolutely positive and really let me know that this lifestyle change would be fun, easy and long term. She made me feel comfortable and I was happy to see a staff of diversity and inclusion. The whole staff gave me information and really worked as a team answering all my questions and took time to listen to my concerns. I'm 10 pounds down and will continue the program until I reach my goal. I am very happy with this program.
Dear Jessica, Thank you so much for sharing your very kind words and acknowledging the qualities we strive for in our staff and the success of our patients! We are so grateful for you allowing us to help guide you and be with you on your all important health journey. Keep going strong!
Negative experience: I was hoping to be a returning patient but their is no price difference. $1800 for the full package which you can pay in three payments for an extra $50. What a ripoff. You can also pay $200 for the first visit and weekly it would be $80. This does not include any supplements. This equals $1080 for the 12 weeks (if I did my math right). So the supplements cost $800. What? How ridiculous. My fault that I gained weight again but wasn't expecting it to be so much money. Too bad!
I apologize for any disappointment, our all-inclusive program includes visit, counseling, 3 sets of lab work initial, 4 weeks and 12 weeks, lipotropic injections an EKG along with pharmaceutical grade supplementation that are third party tested for potency and provide the highest quality. We offer modified programs as well to accommodate patients. If you wish to discuss further, we would love to help you resume your path to a healthier lifestyle and help reach your weight loss goals. 727-446-3021.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, comfortable office atmosphere. Coco always starts my day with a smile. She knowledgeable, caring, and supportive. Always professional and pleasant. Highly recommend!
We are so thrilled to hear your wonderful experience with our office Amy and in particular Coco! Thank you for sharing and for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: The staff is caring and supportive. Their encouragement and knowledge made all the difference. My energy is back, I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get back on track.
So happy to hear you have regained your energy and the team has helped you reach your goals. We appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: This is one of my favorite supplements. It helps with my weight.
Thank you so much Theresa! We are so happy it's helping you! We are constantly looking for ways to help our patients so we truly appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have been in the program for a month now and WOW. I have had such a great experience and have been able to lose all the stubborn weight I couldn’t get off. The phone team has been so accommodating to my busy schedule and has always been so friendly when I call to reschedule or ask to be seen earlier. They make you feel like you’re calling your friend. love the Palm Harbor office and the staff!!!
Anna we are so happy to accommodate your busy schedule, offering appointments as early as 6:30 and late as 6:15 in the evening. Excited to help release excess pounds and help regain your energy. If you need anything we are a call away :).
Fantastic experience: I started my weight-loss journey in August and by following Dr. Lara’s program, I’m down 20lbs. Before starting, I didn’t feel like I was eating that bad. I made the proper changes by being more conscious about what I was eating and the portions! Im now starting to see my clothes are fitting looser and my energy level is up!
Love to hear this Kayla!!! So happy for you!
Fantastic experience: Such great product to use, I recommend to anyone to try an see the difference in how you feel.
Thank you so much for your kind words Bettye and for taking the time to share you perspective about our program! Health and happiness to you!
Fantastic experience: Great doc and great staff!
Thank you Michelle!
Fantastic experience: Just completed 12 weeks. Everyone is helpful and supportive.
We are so happy you are pleased with our program so far Tammy! We will do all that we can to help you achieve your health goals! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The BEST experience I have ever had with my weight loss coach , sommer. Will be extending my program because of her!
We are so happy you are enjoying your journey to a healthier liefstyle and having wonderful visits with Sommer. It is our pleasure to share in your success!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Lara for over 12 years. I first started with the HCT diet and lost over 60lbs then I moved to their regular plan. I’ve lost a total of 100 lbs and have kept it off for 11 years. Their plan works you just have to stick to it. I still go there for maintenance to keep myself on track and to get my thyroid meds.
You are such an inspiration and we are happy to have helped you reach your goals!
Negative experience: Formnovélle is a colossal waste of time and money. I would add photos of my “before and afters” but they keep them and don’t give you a copy. I followed the diet/exercise/supplements/lotion & compression garments. I lost weight (at a constant calorie deficit along with no carbs or alcohol) so of course I lose a couple inches (including off of areas they measure but didn’t treat). But the treatment didn’t smooth the appearance of any part of my body. It didn’t ‘debulk’ the areas of treatment, it didn’t help minimize stretch mark appearance, it didn’t reduce any of my cellulite. I would have had the same results with just diet and exercise and could have saved $3000. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME. The Dr and NP are delightful humans but this treatment needs to be eliminated as a service.
We are saddened by your experience, FormNovelle works but the therapy has to be used consistently. You purchased an 8 treatment program, in order to get best results one needs to do the treatments consistently, hence once per week in 8 consecutive weeks, or two per week over 4 weeks. However due to circumstances on your end, it took you 18 weeks. During the time of the therapy we encourage and guide our patients to make adjustments in their lifestyle and nutrition and to not drink alcohol. If you would like to discuss further please feel free to contact us, we would love the opportunity to turn this around for you, thousands of patients have been ecstatic with their results, but in the end, it is not just the laser therapy that was responsible for their success, but their ability to shift their lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: I’m with the weight loss program for 12 weeks now and I absolutely love it I lost 14 lb and I’m still going thank you guys I look forward every week to see how much weight I loose that gives me something to look forward and go on not diet to go forward to learn to eat healthy
Wonderful to hear Eileen! We look forward to seeing you each week and celebrating your progress as well!
Fantastic experience: Jas gave me a great recipe choice as a healthy option. Absolutely EVERYONE here has played a part in the success of my journey, and I am grateful to each and every one of " my people" ♥️

Fantastic experience: Fantastic group of people here! I started my weight loss journey June of this yr and with the help of Dr Lara and his staff in the Saint Pete office I am down a total of 113 lbs!
You are such an inspiration! Thank you for allowing us to help guide you in your journey.
Fantastic experience: Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great results only halfway through their transformation program. I needed a boost with motivation and being held accountable. Their program has helped me tremendously with weight loss, inches lost and a huge confidence boost. I have been using their formnovelle green light fda approved laser for 4 weeks now and see a huge difference in my problem areas. (2 csections left a stomach pooch and uneven flab on my hips) The emerald laser has reduced all my problem areas only in 4 weeks. I'm sure to have amazing results after the 8 weeks. Highly recommend Dr Cesar Lara's office for weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.
Deanna, Thank you so much for taking to the to write this wonderful review about your experience with us! We sincerely appreciate it and are so happy you are seeing great results! The green laser is really such amazing technology. That along with your commitment to adopting and keeping that healthy lifestyle going is making all the difference.

Fantastic experience: Word's can't express the appreciation I have for Edda.. I was at a point where I had made the decision to give up on myself and this weight loss process.. And if it wasn't for her kindness.. Compassion..Words of en2.& the fact that she took the time to listen to me..It really made me fell motivated to continue ..She is definitely agreat asset to this program.. The world needs more Angels like her .!

Fantastic experience: Very good staff, dedicated to help their clients
Dear Maris, Thank you so much for putting your trust in us and for this wonderful review! That is our ultimate intention.
Fantastic experience: I love this program. Everyone in Dr Lara’s office is so kind and boost you up every week! The program is really well rounded and works amazingly. I had a setback one week and I felt really bad about it and the staff was so supportive and helped me get back on track. I would recommend this wellness program to anyone looking to not just lose weight but to get healthy. 10/10 I won’t go anywhere else.
We are happy to help you reach your goals and be able to support you throughout the journey. Thank you for your kind words and recognizing the team for their care. Healthy Weight For Life!
Fantastic experience: Love this place!! Getting amazing results!! Friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you so much, Heather! This is so wonderful to hear! We couldn't be happier that you have chosen to put your trust in us and that you're getting great results! Congratulations to you!!
Negative experience: I was really disappointed with the service. I did lose some weight. but, after the initial consult, I never once saw the consultant again and never met Dr. Lara himself. After the first appointment, I went in for a shot and weight-in for $75 each week. I was not asked to keep a food diary. My food was never reviewed after that first week. So, just for the basics - $300 / month, then the supplements they recommend, plus the cost of periodic blood work. Very expensive! I really felt it wasn't much service for the cost.
Our goal is to provide education and support to help you release excess weight. The team is available during weekly in person visits, virtual visits, phone and email. We would love to provide an experience that exceeds your expectations. Please feel free to reach our team to discuss. 727 446 3021 or [email protected].
Fantastic experience: Great staff and individual attention. Specially Edda.
Thank you Wanda! We strive to provide a personalized experience.
Fantastic experience: The best!! The nurses are outstanding!! Results results results!! Highly recommend!!
We are thrilled you enjoy your experience with the team! Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I am currently in the fantastic program now! Everyone is so amazing !! Edda, Connie, Sherry! Everyone! I am down 5.8 lbs in 1 weeks with so much drive and energy! Cleansing my body is rejuvenating! Not to mention the inches of my waist already! So excited to come to my weekly apts ! Absolutely worth it and I am so thankful for the support and guidance! I could have not began this journey alone! Thanks to the Lara team!!
We appreciate your feedback, thank you for sharing your experience! As you continue your journey to a healthier happier lifestyle we will be right beside you cheering you on! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Everyone has been very nice and friendly. I had no problems asking any questions during appointments and the wait times are very fast.
Thank you for your kind review. We love our team and glad you have had an informative experience.
Fantastic experience: I have been on more “diet” plans than I can count. Dr. Lara’s program is not a “diet”...it’s a program of nutrition, healthy living and weight loss in mind and body. The entire staff is helpful, kind and supportive. They recommend supplements which you can purchase from them. These supplements have been developed by Dr. Lara. Honestly they are the only vitamins and supplements I have ever taken that do not give me any stomach or digestive issues. I’m down 56 lbs in 18 weeks and still losing. Needless to say....I feel great! My skin is clearer, I sleep better, allergy symptoms have improved and I have so much more energy! There is no magic pill to lose weight and keep it off. It’s a lifestyle and mindset. Dr. Lara’s program will give you the tools and support to reach your goals for a lifetime.
Debra your inspirational story is so moving and we could not be more thrilled and honored that you have chosen us to help guide you on your most important health journey! Your experience is exactly our hope for each of our patients, to get your health and life back! And you have achieved that. Congratulations! We are so very happy for you!

I am always greeted by my first name as soon as I enter, which is awesome considering how many patients they have. Connie my consultant is very personable. You can tell she invests herself in your weight loss journey. She is genuinely excited, and proud for you for any mile stone you may make each week. The ladies that are at my weekly weigh ins are very personable. It's like talking with someone you've known for a long time.

Fantastic experience: In the pass I have gone to 3 other local weight loss centers. Two were the same song and dance. Your weekly visit weight in get a b12 shot and prescription that was it. You were just number to them. The last one was little different but still just number. They just offered additional fat burning shots and prepared food if you wanted to buy it. However, you did not get choose from menu. It was what ever they decided to make for week. I did best there compared to the first two and referred people there. Well since working remotely from home due to Covid-19 and working long hours and on weekends due to so were I work we had 3 Covid-19 testing tents going. Needlessly to say all the weigh I lost came back plus more. After seeing Michelle who is a patient here. Mind you I had referred her in past to my the last weight loss center. I amazed by how wonderful she looked and it was not just great weigh loss she had in 12 weeks. She looked so healthy and happy. That's when she told me about Dr. Lara weight loss program and she stated it was better then the last place. It was easier to follow. I decided to make my consultation appointment, which was the day before Christmas Eve. My consultation here was nothing like the prior 3 places by extreme long shot. The staff there are incredibly professional and caring to the amazing Nurse Practitioner I have ever meet. I work in medical field. I was so blown away. This weight loss program is not just about losing the weight it abut your health and your mind and being the best YOU! I signed up for the 12 week program that day. I was so excited about this journey that I actually start the next day on Christmas Eve. Yes, you read right I started on Christmas Eve. Right who starts a diet on the Christmas Eve. I didn't I start diet I started my journey on being the best me. I am proud to say I lost 9 pounds that first week. Today three weeks later I am down 14 pounds and becoming the best me. Excited about continuing my journey with the help from of Dr. Lara and his incredibly staff. I high recommend Dr. Cesar Weight Management you will be NOT be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lara is one of the most lovable souls I have ever met. I've heard him speak about life, the body and wellness overall many times. Each time I commit to using his programs and having his vision be apart of our life. Right now my mother is a new patient of his on her journey to health and wellness. She is loving his program, the clean supplements she's on, the one on one coaching, the beautiful office he has and the welcoming staff. Each week she achieves a new goal or hits a road block there is a professional there for her on Dr. Lara's team to help guide her in diet and exercise yes, but more importantly the mind. He invests in the mind greatly and we recommend him to anyone who needs to feel comfortable and confident on their journey to wellness.
