Amazing staff but I will give 1 star to Dr Brown's attitude - his weight loss plan works but he rushes you to go to the next patient so he doesn't let you speak ( not a good listener to give you a proper response) ; he doesn't speak mindfully and his words are hurtful. He is blunt and direct in an unnecessary approach but you just have to ignore his attitude and keep focusing and advocating for your health. I hope he become a more humble and patiant with his attitude to make the experience less stressful for all parties.

I believe Dr. Brown’s knowledge is extensive in treating and preventing metabolic disorders. I am a health care professional , I appreciate and realized his help over 12 years in his care (intermittently) . If he sounds harsh at times it is usually due to noncompliance. Find staff friendly and helpful.

Firstly, I have never worked for Dr. Brown and am not benefiting from or being compensated for my review. Any prices or program information I speak of may not be accurate. This is an independent review. I had 25lbs that I couldn't keep off. I was able to lose it with other diets: Dr. Berstein, Keto, Weight Watchers but always regained 25 lbs. Now, in my 50's none of the above diets work. I was referred to Dr. Brown in 2022 and I lost the 25lbs and felt AMAZING. My joint pain was gone, hot flashes and night sweats were under control and snoring stopped. As I was reaching maintenance, I had a major health scare and told by the ER doctor to stop all of my vitamins and hormone medications. I gained 50lbs in 6 months. Under the guidance of my GP I went on Ozempic and lost ZERO. I tried a dietician to no avail. My doctor and I agreed I needed Dr. Brown. I returned to Dr. Brown 18 days ago and already down 10 lbs. His program has been improved, from the vitamins/supplements and shakes he has created for the program as well as the office flow. To run the office efficiently, maintain the flow of patients and help as many people as possible, he NEEDS to be to the point. There is a weekly journal that you complete and hand to reception when you check infor your weekly visit. He addresses everything on your journal. Yes, he is quick but he addresses it all. If you don't want to sit waiting in the waiting room to be seen each week, he has to be quick. He isn't going to kick you out of his office if you have an additional question. He isn't like that. He has always been informative and takes the extra few minutes when I need it. I do try to be extremely mindful of everyone else in the waiting room by not getting into chit chat with him for the respect of his schedule and the people waiting to see him. His program is NOT Dr. Bernstein. There aren't any injections and I get to eat way more than the 350 calories I was eating Bernstein. This program is geared teach you to eat the right foods, proper portions, eat foods to keep full , to fuel your body and the best time of day to eat certain foods to keep you insulin at a consistent level so you don't spike and drop, have cravings and binge eat. You start with a basic menu with a lot of choices. He expands your allowable foods list weekly. For example, he may add 1/2 cup blueberries 2-3X per week that you can only eat AFTER LUNCH. It's a small thing but important. Timing is everything. Portions are everything.There are options if you are hungry after eating your meal. He gets you eating properly. The office visit is covered by OHIP if your BMI is over 30 (don't quote me on it). The vitamins are an out-of-pocket expense. With many people on Ozempic, insurance companies will soon be dropping it from the covered meds if it's being used strictly for weight loss. The Program Fee is 230 (or 250, I can't remember off the top of my head) which includes the supplement and shake cost for 4 weeks which is about the same as 1 Ozempic pen, every 4 weeks. (most people use 2 pens every 4 weeks). This fee is not negotiable. I mentioned I didn't want the shake to the staff but whether you take it or leave it, the fee stays the same.
I took the shake and found great ways to use it everyday. I make Chia seed pudding with it (I add it for chocolate flavor), I blend it with almond milk and ice which ends up tasting like a malt. I also make a shake with spinach to get some of my veggies in (just be mindful that you only use the recommended one scoop per day). As for the comments about is bedside manner; I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20+ years in management and worked with over 30 physicians and have experience enough to say there is wayyyyyyyyyy worse than what people are complaining of and making Dr. Brown to be. Yes, Dr. Brown may be a little direct and to the point but who doesn't want that? Is he supposed to sugar coat what he is saying or beat around the bush about the nightshades he added to the food list this week? No. We are talking about what we are supposed to eat that week, not a terminal diagnosis and prognosis. The people complaining have bad days also and may not be a peach to deal with on occasion, which is perfectly normal. Take a step back and remember he is human too. You never know what he is going through and he is entitled to bad days as well. Complaining that he is quick with info when it's emailed to you for review at your own pace, is petty. Maybe before sending such scathing reviews, make sure you're not having a bad day yourself. Overall, I think because of his experiences in other related fields of medicine, his focus on weight loss is a bonus for all that need his help. The man knows his stuff and you won't be sorry after you have lost the weight. I am grateful to have been led to him and to being myself again. Thank you Dr. Brown.

Exceptionally rude. Horrible attitude. Not interested in people or medicine. Don’t expect empathy or medical expertise from this person.

If you haven’t come across my initial posting concerning Dr. Jeffrey Brown’s Supervised Weight Loss Program, I would suggest you take a look at it. I posted it on July 4, 2020. I am back nearly three years to the day to provide you with an update. Here it is - I am still down more than 70 pounds and loving every minute of it. As I mentioned in my previous post, prior to joining Dr. Brown, I was an overweight adult male with literal breasts. Once I joined Dr. Brown’s program, my transformation was, according to my wife and close friends and colleagues, unbelievable. As I previously mentioned, Dr. Brown’s program excels because of three key factors: First, you are monitored weekly by Dr. Brown and his staff. You are weighed, your blood pressure is checked, and you will periodically have blood work taken to ensure that you are on the right track. Second, you follow a diet plan that is initially restrictive and eventually incorporates many of the same foods you eat before your diet. Third, unlike other diet plans which cost an arm-and-a leg, OHIP covers this plan excluding the vitamins which are hands-down the best you will find for losing weight and maintaining good health. I would also suggest a fourth factor exists, which is the maintenance segment of the program where Dr. Brown provides you with the tools necessary to maintain your new physique and keep healthy. I have taken advantage of this and have excelled. That doesn’t mean I haven’t experienced any bumps in the road. Quite frankly, I find it a challenge to find any healthy food on a family vacation involving kids and Mickey Mouse. That said, while I visit Dr. Brown less frequently, his strategies have helped me keep the weight off. This is the result of his suggestions concerning healthy foods and maintaining an active lifestyle. I have also enjoyed his expanded shake options, which are better than anything you would find in a grocery store. I want to thank Dr. Brown and his team again for this life-changing transformation. I am heading outside without my shirt! JJ

So I must say, this is my 4th week and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I feel great, lots more energy chasing around my 3 kids, and just overall much happier, and I owe it all to Dr Brown and his staff!
I also must say that I’ve suffered from severe dandruff my whole life, or as long as I can remember, and I’ve been to many dermatologists, tried various over the counter and prescription shampoo, and nothing at all would help me.
I literally lost hope. Then about 2 weeks on the program, I realized that I didn’t reach for my anti inch creams anymore, mr dandruff just disappeared. I didn’t even know this was possible. It’s GONE! And I’m certain it’s because of the healthy eating and vitamins I take from Dr Brown!! Not only have I lost weight, he cured my itchy scalp!! Amazing!!!!
Thanks Dr Brown!!!😀
