Jabro Mark, MD

I saw Dr. Jabrow, he has great insight and honest pertinent information on dieting!!!

Dr Jabro doesn’t try rushing me out of the office which is an experience I’ve had with Doctors in the past. He listens and gives it to me straight and honest. He’s definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a Primary Care Physician.

I had a very difficult and adversarial dr/​patient relationship with Dr. Jabro. I started seeing him late last year after changing jobs and healthcare – my partner had gone to him and he really liked him – felt he was open minded and solid. I won’t get into all the nitty gritty – I think that for very overweight/​obese patients, Dr. Jabro is probably very effective. However, for someone like me who is battling an autoimmune thyroid disorder, his suggestion of putting me on anti-​depressants to help me lose weight or permanently prescribing me appetite suppressants and suggesting a 1000 calorie diet seemed over the top for addressing my 30lb weight gain associated with my disorder (I have otherwise been incredibly healthy – a yogi, vegetarian and organic food eater). Repeatedly, he undermined the analysis and plan of my endocrinologist – calling him «ignorant» and «unconventional» for putting me on short-​term thyroid supplement to assist my metabolism (a common thing to do for someone with my disorder). I always left his office angry, frustrated and in tears. It was almost alway a surreal experience… like, «did that really just happen»? I am thankful to have had this experience as it really forced me to advocate for myself and my health. Luckily, I have a team of supportive doctors outside of my primary care doctor and I am looking forward to switching to a new doctor:)

Best ever! Finally able to open up the lines of communication about being overweight-​I told my primary care Dr. «I can’t do this alone», she referred me to Dr Jabro-​felt at ease w/​his «bedside» manner in office-​he made it SO easy to discuss being overweight for 15+ yrs-​i now have been in Sharp Weight Management Program for over 24 weeks, my weight is no longer a taboo subject, I have lost over 55 lbs w/​weekly class, education, clinic and visit w/​Dr Jabro and a great support network of classmates all on the same journey-​my health is getting better everyday and my physical activity levels are off the chart compared to 7 months ago-​I STRONGLY recommend Dr. Jabro-​he is very motivational, non-​judgemental and purely wants us to succeed and get healthy –the HMR diet is really easy to follow and best tasting chocolate shakes, entrees and bars –thankfully it felt so GREAT for weight loss not to be my 2015 New Year’s Resolution as I’m already doing it! YOU owe it to yourself to consult with Dr. Mark Jabro–
