Amazing, everyone is so friendly, after 1 month I'm already down 12 lbs. they don't pressure you to buy extra things or services. They genuinely want to help. I drive about 1.5 hours for every appointment because they're the only ones I want to go to.

I love the providers and staff here at AZ Medical weight loss. Always a positive experience coming in and going over my goals. I tried one other weight loss program elsewhere and it was too expensive for me to be realistic and able to continue. Love the atmosphere at AZ medical weight loss. It feels judgement free, plus Dr Knighton & Kelly NP are so personable!

I love coming here. The weight loss program has changed my life. They fully evaluate you and make sure you're healthy and doing the program the right way. They sit and talk with you in detail and give tips to help keep your diet on track. I've never felt better. The staff is friendly, smart and efficient. The dogs are the sweetest creatures I've ever met and make my visit so fun. Highly recommend

Dr. Knighton and his amazing staff are beyond kind and helpful. They offer help in a non-judgmental and supportive fashion, truly understand when you don't feel you're at your optimum level, and help you get back on track! Thank you! This practice made all the difference in my life back in 2020, and am now getting back on a program again!
