Complete Clinics

«I went to Complete Clinics for weight loss in the Oak Lawn office. The girls in the office are very resourceful and friendly. They are very matter of fact and dont candy coat anything. I loved the service! The shots and medication are working great for me so far, just in 4 weeks I was able to concentrate on what/​how I ate that I shed 10 lbs and I feel great. Their hours/​days of operation are minimal, but I only need to see them once a month anyway. The diet was pretty easy to follow, and you’re given a booklet to help you figure out your own diet plan. I call the booklet my bible. My goal is to be looking and feeling fantastic in 9 months, which is my 50^th birthday! Stay tuned for results in June!»

English is my second language so please bear with me.
I went to the one at Lincoln Park. Very satisfied about my experience. In three words:
Safe, Easy, Clean
All staffs are very friendly to me. The most impressed thing is that those lipo B Shots I got from them they really worked. My first visit was July or late June I was 158lbs. Wasn’t expect that much but now I am down to 145 lbs. (Diet, workout along with lipo B)
I am very happy about the result feel safe and healthy with those B12 shots. I went back there again just several days ago to get some B12 shots for my grandmother in law.
Before my first visit, there were only bad reviews about the place. I was hesitated a little bit but decide to give it a try. Now I would say I highly recommend this place.

Unilocal took down my FAVORABLE review again… D o I need to repost it everyday? Unilocal– what’s your deal?
Not sure why my original review was hidden from view, so I am reposting it.

I started going there exclusively for weight loss, but what I got was a full scale make-​over. WOW! I learned so much about nutrition, my body, and healthy living. I have lost the weight I wanted to, but more importantly, I have gained the health I needed.
I am different person both physically and mentally.
The staff is A+. Caring, attentive, experienced, informed and current. They were always encouraging me in my goals and progress. Always eager to offer help and suggestions.
I started with HCG, but after 2 full cycles with awesome results, I have now transitioned to the traditional diet. I have never felt better in my whole life. I am alert, alive and confident!
You must be ready to work hard and be accountable though, Weight loss is not magic. It is dedication and discipline. The medical staff will gently guide you through the steps and educate you along the way.
I trust my health in the hands of Complete Clinics. They are part of my new lifestyle.

If you follow the plan you will be successful. The first visit is very complete and you are not obligated to sign any contracts or buy additional products. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. I’ve waited to post my comments since I was skeptical at first. I just returned from my month two weigh in. The first month I lost 10 pounds and month two 5. Month two was not as successful due to a lot of travel and eating out, which is very difficult for Ie. The first 3 or 4 days were living hell, but after that it has become a way of life for me, making better food choices. My biggest problem was a sugar addiction and I blame most of the rocky start on withdrawing. I haven’t gotten to 100% compliance as far as reducing carbs, I just had too many bad eating habits. Bottom line, I feel so much better and am beginning to look better too. At almost 60 years old, loosing weight has been getting harder and harder.

I go to the Gurnee office. The staff is knowledgable, supportive, and kind. I’m not doing the HCG diet, rather just smart eating, exercise, and B12 shots. I’d rather lose the weight in a more natural way and they have been there in a very helpful way. It’s been 6 months and iive lost 30 pounds.
Why did I take off one star? They’re hours are pretty slim. Even though I only go once a month, it’s hard to fit in my schedule due to the few days and short hours they are open.

I Have nothing but good things to say about this clinic I go to the one on 95^th street Extremely professional staff, short wait times and very reasonable. Also they always run specials on groupon. Lupie Rocks !!

I would recommend this place to anyone. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging. They have several different options and everything was explained very well. There is no «hard sell», you choose what program you and products you want. I am currently taking the appetite suppressants daily, the B12 shots once a week and the HCG shots 3 times a week (HCG every other month). I started 3 months ago and have lost 15 pounds. At 57 years old, post hysterectomy/​menopause, I’m happy with 5 pounds a month!

I was referred by my sister. We both wanted to loose weight for an upcoming wedding and heard great reviews. In the first month i lost 10 pounds! the following months weren’t so great but only cause i was not following the plan as followed but i am still loosing weight and keeping it off!
The staff in the Oak Lawn office is great! very helpful! There are copies of recipes ready for you. Mind you… they don’t hand them to you but its ok cause its right at the front desk. They give a handbook to go by in the initial visit. I carry it in my purse! Every month i go for my follow up & they help me understand the plan a little better.
First month i was having a hard time with the suppressants and she changed the recommended dose and that really helped! At my last visit is explained i have a new goal now that my sisters wedding is done and over with and the staff was more than happy to help me realize what i was doing wrong. And they recommended a new shot. They are constantly seeing what will work best for me in my new goal and they do say this is no miracle cure… We actually still have to put in the work peeps! But because i am spending money on the shots and pills, i end up thinking twice of what goes in my mouth cause then i am wasting that money yo!
So yes i highly recommend this place to any one who isn’t dumb enough to think its the all fat be gone cure!!! I recommend it to the people who need that extra push in getting the fat off!
I see myself reaching my goals with their kind professional help!!! Every single month i have lost weight! even on my lazy ass days of just sitting on the couch!

Unilocal took my review down from the «recommended» reviews list because it wasn’t favorable to them… Isn’t your whole basis about provide real honest reviews Unilocal?!I’ll continue to harp this until you’re a fair and honest business. Practice what you preach. Oh and complete clinics is still awesome.

I have never been a small girl and have lost and gained more weight on and off than anyone can imagine. I primarily started going to CC due to the fact that I was getting married. I am a «professional dieter» and know better than to expect miracles. My intentions were to go on the HCG diet and be done. I was not looking to lose all the weight I needed to, just enough to feel and look better for my wedding. The HCG diet is very restrictive, but does work! In a little over a month I lost 29lbs. The staff was incredible… very supportive! They also were very clear that this diet was not a «quick fix» or a «miracle». Due to my crazy work/​travel schedule, they were very accommodating between offices and appointment times. Traveling for work 5 days a week and living in hotels can be very hard on your body in general, not to mention always trying to find healthy food choices. Kudos especially to Lupe and Terri. They and the rest of the staff were very compassionate and knowledgeable! Anytime I have ever called with a question or a conflict in my schedule, Lupe or Mary got right back to me. Terri (Nurse Practitioner), might as well be a doctor. During my initial visit with her, she went over my entire health history and asked me questions no other doctor had. She provided me great information, along with references to back them, No other doctor I have seen, has ever done that. She gave me honest and upfront recommendations for my personal body make up, in which I continue to incorporate into my daily lifestyle.
After I finished the HCG I continued the program at a slower pace with Medication. At that point I was more concerned about maintaining my weight loss, especially for my wedding. As of today I am still a client of CC and have lost additional weight, but at my pace. I am not going to lie… I am not perfect and have bad days. There have been appointments/​weigh ins where I have gained weight. We’re all human! No one shunned or scolded me. They went over my daily activity that may have caused it and offered helpful options/​solutions. I feel very comfortable with CC. I do not feel the need to come up with lies about my food choices or make up stories, like I have with other diet programs.
Overall, CC has really worked for me and I truly have enjoyed working with them!

Ok, started the program one week ago and experiencing side effects as were expected. However three days ago, side effects became noticeably worse; dizzy to the point I didn’t feel safe driving, brain fog all day, etc. So for THREE DAYS I call for advice, do I cut the dose in half? divide it morning and night? stop altogether? NO CALL BACK. I work in the medical field and it’s unacceptable to wait more than one business day for a response especially when involving side effects or concerns with potentially dangerous medications. Especially when they strongly warned me about the «rare but fatal» potential side effect of serotonin syndrome. Good thing I don’t have that… or do I? who knows, they won’t call me back!!! Only giving 2 stars because the treatment is actually working, so it’s not a complete scam, but awful customer service. The second time I called I was told «so sorry she’s finishing up with a patient and will call you right away.»
Finishing up this month prescription with them and in the meantime will find another clinic… Oh and they told me I would be on this for 6 months where all the data everywhere says no more than 12 weeks. I would pass this place by.

For anyone who thinks this will be like taking a «magic» pill that will melt the fat away you will not be satisfied with this program. As a matter of fact you will not be satisfied with any program because that doesn’t exist or we would all have done it already.
Someone below said that they think the positive comments must be the company writing them because they aren’t true. Well I am a real life customer who has had fantastic results if that means anything.
This program is hard work and you have to be %100 committed to it in all aspects. If you are committed then you will see GREAT results.
I have been going to the complete clinics located in Arlington Heights for a little over a year now (on and off). Whenever I have attended my monthly meeting, followed the diet correctly, taken all of the prescribed medications and stayed a bit active I have lost tremendous amounts of weight. I have lost a total of 60 lbs. so far and when I am on the plan %100 I usually lose an average of 8 to 12 lbs. a month.
The people there are caring, kind and push you to change your habits and create a healthier lifestyle for yourself. I also have some thyroid problems that have caused me to gain weight and they have worked with that to make losing weight easier for me.
I do not recommend this program to someone that is just trying to lose a few pounds. It is quite expensive and you can most likely lose those few lbs. just as easy on your own. This plan is beneficial to people who have medical weight problems, bad eating habits and/​or are obese or extremely overweight and looking to lose well over 20 lbs.
In case anyone is interested, they have also dropped their pricing in the last few months and it is more affordable now.
Like most diet and health plans, this won’t work for everyone but if you have tried everything and are looking for something to change your life it is definitely worth trying.

Complete Clinics is a COMPLETE SCAM! I paid $ 450 for a «6 month program» which is a complete joke, all they do is have you come in, weigh you and talk to you for seriously 3 mins. They don’t give you any real advice. I was expecting to get recipes and ideas. They could barely tell you what you should or shouldn’t be eating. I also stupidly paid for the «Genetic» test – another crock – it was $ 200 and they basically took a swab from my mouth, 3 weeks later they gave me a «report» which was SO generic I could only laugh. It was my own fault for thinking this would be a magic cure. When I told my real doctor about she almost flipped out. She said to me – «you’re a smart girl, what were you thinking?»
They also get you every month on the «HCG» «B12» and appetite suppressants. This easily winds up to be be a $ 1000 program with in the first two months. You end up spending this money for nothing. They do not «coach» you in the least bit. If you can stick to a diet, you can pay yourself (or maybe a friend) this $ 1000.00 and in the end of 2 months go buy yourself some new clothes. By the end of the 6 months – you’d have a GREAT wardrobe!
The other VERY strange piece to this scam is that they actually have some creepy doctor that obviously lets them set-​up there pseudo-​office every Thursday. Also the doctor who is on your «prescriptions» I don’t think exists. Or at least I find it VERY wrong that he has never seen me yet he is on my label as the administering doctor.
Please do not waste your money on this! Good luck on your weight-​loss the old fashion way.

I was wrong for thinking there’s magic in HCG… I paid a lot for start up cost and monthly B12 and HCG shots… From 130 to 122lbs in 2.5 months, I gained back a couple pounds after… I was losing weight in the beginning coz I was only eating salad and protein bars all day. It got boring after sometime… The moment I slip, or cheat, (I love to bake) I’m back again to gaining a few pounds.
So HCG has NO, NO, NO effect at all. My problem with this office was, I paid in advance for a month’s supply. I didn’t want to give myself a shot, so I would go to their office and let Lupe, a nurse, I think, give me the shots… I missed about 3 in April and about 7 – 8 shots in May… When I asked if I can use my extra treatments prior to paying for June, one of the nurses said I only missed 3 shots. I said that was wrong. I asked them if Lupe can call me to give me the exact number of sessions. Lupe is the only person who really cares about clients.
Anyways, I didn’t get any call back. I can’t believe it… For them, not to give me a call back, or to give me the sessions that I deserve, is soooo bizarre. Whats 12 sessions? compared to the months I could have paid hundreds each month?
Well, they lost my business. If you are trying to lose weight, you can do this on your own. The HCG has NO effect. I feel my legs are getting cramps lately, I’m getting abdominal pains after using HCG…
I’m truly glad I found out that Complete Clinic is just a money making monkey business. I’m glad I found out before paying for June. Phew… These people giving 5 stars I’m sure are employees or something… The reviews are so gay and whack…
My review is true and concise, no exaggeration… I have nothing to gain from giving a bad review… I’m just keeping it real.
I give 5 stars to places that truly deserve it… complete clinic deserves zero, not even one…
