This was a follow up appointment with Dr Arshad. I've been a patient of hers since 2024. We looked at my current progress to date and modified some goals for the future. Including a more manageable weight range for myself. As always, Dr Arshad gave me valuable advice on how to maintain my weight loss so that I can continue to manage my reversed diabetes.

Visit was really straight forward. Easy to check in and called in on time by Dr Arshad who was very pleasant and explained the process very clearly. She made the whole experience straight forward and not at all stressful. She explained all of the next steps, when I’d hear back and gave me a copy of the next steps with relevant sections highlighted.
