“I’m wearing my wedding ring, haven’t done that in 14 years. Yay.”
“Thank you Jenn and Dignity for helping me on my journey! I figured out I am so much more than numbers on a scale! I have a belief in myself, a desire to be well, and a firm commitment to that process. If I honor that, those numbers will take care of themselves! ... I am 69 this year and it should statistically be harder to lose weight. But, that hasn’t been my experience. ... I have never felt better! ... I’m ready by 8am for whatever road I travel today! I have gone from 24 hour oxygen and a C-PAP machine, 3 different inhalers to NOTHING! My cholesterol, cut in half, triglycerides cut in half, A1C, and my thyroid over corrected itself! So yes, today I am so much more than numbers on a scale. I am giving every other aspect of this program all of my energy, and I love it. ... My size when I started my journey was 32 and climbing and I just bought pants for my new Job , size 18! I look forward to every day. I let how I feel determine how my day goes.I wake up to Nina Simone singing about a new day and I’m feeling good! My doctors are amazed as is my family. Me? I am humbled and grateful. I Wouldn’t trade Jenn for anyone. Every week she gives me confidence and reinforces my belief in myself and what I’m doing. I may not have another 69 years left, but I’m going to make the ones I do have, count!”
“I have to say Dignity and My coach Sara have helped me through a very hard journey …I began My Healthy Journey at 214lbs.and am now as of today 172lbs…With her help and Dignity’s help I have lost 42lbs. I feel like a different person. I never could walk with out getting out of breath or I was always tired. I had no energy!!! I still have 20lbs left of my goal and I give myself til July. But I have faith I “Can Do This”!!! if I can do this I know you out there can … Thank You Sarah/Dignity with out you I would not be here saying How excellent I feel with my new body and mind!!”
“This program has been most helpful to me. I was reticent at first, but with each week that passed, I appreciated he support, respect and empathy I have received. Whatever the issue I brought up, I was helped to reframe it in a positive way and it led to a different way of thinking about food, emotions and change. I am so grateful for the Dignity Weight loss center and my supportive counselor. It is an authentic, client focused program.”
“Dignity is the best name for this Center! I have a very unique situation with rare complex medical conditions and the provider I work with, Sarah, is amazing! She is a PA that researched my conditions and didn’t just remember but respected my food restrictions with her suggestions. I have been working with her for a year and a half with great success in more than just weight loss (yes, I am down 90 lbs). I have also been consistent because it keeps me honest and has seriously helped me get over my food regrets and has really made it easy to find (and like) new foods. THANK YOU!”
“From Oct 2022 to august 2023 I worked with Aly at dignity weight loss center. I am a super anxious person who normally does not like doctors but she was amazing. I successfully lost over 70 pounds and lost another 20 since finishing up my program there. I’ve never been able to lose and maintain for this long and really think it’s related to changing my views on what it means to be healthy. Would recommend to anyone who feels stuck. There’s really nothing to lose since it’s only a copay per visit (at least for me it was!)
Got a new lease on life! Thanks to all!”
“Dignity Weight Loss Program really works! During the last year, I have lost eighty lbs on my weight loss journey with DWLP. I have never succeeded with any other diet plan before this, and believe me, I’ve tried many. The key to my success is the extensive research and training my weight loss professional Danielle has undergone under the auspices of an eminent physician. The program provides one-on-one medically supervised coaching in a pleasant environment. You have the choice of in person or remote. Danielle has provided for me a individualized plan for success. She and the other staff members are kind, compassionate and quite knowledgeable. Everyone who follows the program will also receive an individualized plan. I highly recommend this program because it’s safe, effective and the weight stays off.”
“When I began this journey I was at a loss because I was injured, depressed, unable to exercise and using food as a coping mechanism. I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to lose weight without movement. With DWL’s program I lost 23 pounds and that was without exercise! I have now had the corrective surgery I needed and can finally move! Now armed with the dietary tools I’ve acquired through DWL I’m ready to continue my weight loss journey in a better frame of mind knowing it really can be done! I would highly recommend this program to anyone. It’s not a diet. It’s a whole being lifestyle change.”
“This program has changed my life. If you are thinking about losing weight ,but don’t know how to start, this is the place for you. There is never any judgement, just hope. I have learned so much about myself. The weight is coming off, and I’m not white knuckling it. I look forward to meeting with Ally weekly, for her knowledge and advice. It is a program worth looking in to. ”
“I have lost 84 lbs ... I would highly recommend them and have to my sister and several people!”
“I joined Dignity Weight Loss in September of 2022. My friend told me she was trying it. Together, we had tried and failed every diet. We both needed to lose over 100 lbs. and both, were desperate for help. We loved the idea of it not being a traditional “diet” and delving into our health from a scientific/medical point of view. We acknowledged that we also needed support in working through this process emotionally, as well as physically. It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I feel like I finally made a conscious choice to take care of me. After years of taking care of my family, friends, coworkers, etc., burring the wick at both ends, I came to the conclusion that in order for me to keep on living, I needed a change. When I tell friends about my experience with Dignity, people are always eager to here the stats, OK, what is it, low carb? calorie counting? keto? It’s not really something you can wrap up in a few sentences. We are all different. As when you go to the doctor, what your doctor recommends for you, may not be the same as your friend. People mostly just want to hear the “quick fix” kind of story and don’t necessarily want to put in the emotional work, if that makes sense? Some are also intimidated by the weekly counselling portion. Honestly, that’s my favorite part. It’s accountability and direction like I’ve never had before. If something isn’t working, your counselor is there to help you figure it out. You’re not alone. You will be working on yourself and it isn’t always easy. However, you have support; someone there to teach you how to get over the hurdles. I recently hit losing 40 lbs. To put that into perspective, that’s the approximate size of a tire. I feel like a new person. My friend lost over 50 lbs. so far. We haven’t felt this good in 20 years. I am so thankful I found Dignity Weight Loss, ESPECIALLY during the holidays. I’m here to tell you, change is possible. I wish, not only overweight people, could find Dignity, but everyone could join as a preventative program so people don’t get to where I was. I’ve learned so much in these past few months. I recommend joining Dignity. There are no gimmicks, no crazy user fees, just your insurance (copay), like you’re going to any other doctor. It’s not overwhelming and they’re not judgmental. They’re kind and understanding. Joining is a transitional period; think of it as baby steps, each week, towards finding a better feeling you. I know it seems impossible, but I’m here to tell you that it is possible. I too still have got a long way to go but I’m so thankful for my PA, Lianna and the help Dignity has given me. Give them a call!”
“I LOVE this program, I have never felt better. I tried the rest now I’ve found the best.”
“I cannot say enough about this program! Having one on one sessions really helps with my weight loss. 60 lbs so far and I have never been able to do it before. Other programs just didn’t work. Eating healthy foods, I have never felt deprived and the cravings for fried foods and unhealthy snacks does go away. Great people, awesome staff and endless knowledge and degrees.”
“I cannot tell you how helpful this program has been for every aspect of my life, work and relationships. In order for me to help others, I first must invest into my own health and wellness. Easier said that done but Dignity Weight Center educated me to the point where I am now making the right long term decisions and the momentum I am getting from my progress only fuel’s my desire to become even better. I highly recommend this program for any person, regardless of your stage in life. You can do it, you just have to start.”
“I am so grateful to have found this program. Dignity Weight Loss Center is helping me find the reasons why I turn to food. This program along with my wonderful P.A. Ally have given me the tools to change my habits. I have tried a lot of weight loss programs, but none have ever dealt with me as a whole person. With the constant knowledge, support and compassion I receive every week, I finally can see a healthy future. Thank you. ”
“Jenna is my weight loss coach! She is caring compassionate and understanding! I would recommend this clinic to anyone who needs to loss weight the right way and I have kept off the weight from day one I have over 40 pounds and still losing!”
“My experience with Dignity Weight Center has been quite illuminating. It has changed my perceptions of what a healthy body looks like and how to eat healthy. Working with Kelsey Crawford has been a transformative experience; she’s helped me with more than just my weight. She’s helped me shift my mindset from the number on the scale to a more holistic approach to living well without denying myself simple pleasures like dessert and how to let go of preconceived notions of Hollywood’s appearance standards. To love and value myself more than what the scale says and how others say I should look. I highly reccomend anyone struggling with their weight or appearance, or anyone simply looking for advice on living a healthier lifestyle, to give Dignity a try.”
“My experience with Dignity Weight Loss exceeded my expectations. Danielle, my nutritionist was professional, kind and amazingly knowledgeable. She offered so much factual informational from menopause differences in weight loss to the benefits of using weights and exercising to the concept of insulin resistance. Perhaps the most helpful to me were “hacks” and recipes that I was able to use daily. Danielle shared articles , authors, life style ideas, replacement foods from those that lacked nutrition but I craved to those that served as a really good satiating substitue. (Example english muffin vs Ezekial bread and muffins) My favorite was the cracker hack made from lavish type wraps, much lower in carbs and the wheat variety with a tiny olive oil brush and seasoning. My whole office eats these now.
I have tried every “diet under the sun” and was frankly confused and stressed about the idea of stating all over again. I gained a whole new perspective from Danielle on staying the course with patience and consistancy while eating real food thet truly was satisfying and was working to make me feel better. I have lost 35 lbs and feel so much better and more importantly, I am in full control of my choices. I have never experienced a diet where I felt as though I woud actually keep the weight off. This was a life style shift was not nearly as hard as I was telling myself it would be. The weight is off to stay and I will lose about 10 more before Im done and move to maitenance. I feel confident in the knowledge that I have the newfound skills to do it. That is a great feeling. I’m no longer in fear of what might happen, because that is entirely up to me. I feel to good to go backwards. I do not expect perfection, but my body works better when I feel better. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Danielle over Zoom once a week- so convenient and very personal.”
“Dignity weight loss center has guided me through losing 30+ pounds. I have always lost weight in the past, only to regain it back. With the help of Jenn I have gained a whole new relationship with food. It’s been a slow but steady journey and I can say that I have gained a new mindset when it comes to food and weight loss. Jenn has given me the confidence to continue this journey on my own. We never focused on the scale and there are no foods off limits. I never felt like I am on a diet. I will miss this program for sure!”
“Great program and had a great services. I will recommend it my friends, family and colleagues. 💕”
“While searching online for a weight loss program I found Dignity Weight Center and I am so grateful that I did. I knew that life-long ingrained habits would take some time to address. The fact that my insurance coverage made the program affordable helped me take the step to sign up. I noticed that every review for all the PA’s who work with patients were equally positive so I had confidence that Dr. Haque not only set up a successful program but also gathers staff who provide the highest level of client care. My weekly online meetings were with Jenna Moscarelli who is a supportive, gracious, knowledgeable, non-judgmental professional who guided me toward my goals. After six months I have made some significant changes, learned some new skills, and developed confidence in my ability to have a more positive approach to food, exercise, and handling challenges. Jenna shares study-based recommendations for adopting a healthier life style. Each week she would gauge the best topic and short term goal often pivoting from nutrition to emotional eating to exercise depending on my responses. I have lost weight but mostly I have gained control. The Dignity Weight Center is a brilliantly designed approach that treats individuals with respect. It has been refreshing to be treated as a person rather than a customer. I know that if I need further assistance I can reach out to this great program.”
“For many years, I had struggled with my weight and due to that caused many insecurities. When I first started this program I orginally thought it would be some kind of Magic weight loss pill and do it for a few weeks and then go on about my life. Little did I know I would be completely wrong. I had the great opportunity to work with Courtney. We had our weekly meetings where we would go over goals and different approaches. Through this process I have lost over 30lbs and have a great understanding of maintaining a healthier lifestyle. I highly suggest giving court a chance to provide you with what could be the best possibility to become your most loved self.”
“This place is changing my life. Adrian and the Dignity team are so good at understanding the whole picture when it comes to my health and weight loss. It’s not just prescribing diets and exercises routines, they really go into the motivations behind my habits and how to change my mental approach to my health. I’m down over 45 pounds since starting with Dignity (not saying how long because that’s not with this is about), and am well on my way onto building better health habits that will last me a lifetime. Thank you Adrian!”
“I have prader willi syndrome and over eat. I was eating unhealthy and not caring. Jenna has helped me loose weight and change my eating habits and I still can have things I like. Jenna is awesome and I appreciate everything she does, she has helped change my life.”
“Very satisfied!...I have recommended many of my friends to this place.”
“I learned about Dignity Weight Center from a friend and it was just what I needed. I am a 71 year old woman who has had her share of ups and down weight loss and gain from prescriptions, Weight Watcher(which was the most successful), Atkins, and many other Fad diets. Dignity offered a one on one weekly session that helped me stay focused on my weight loss goal and attitude toward weight loss and food prep. Jenna Moscarelli has become a mentor and a friend over these last 11 months. I looked forward to our sessions. Jenna’s weekly meetings helped me to keep myself accountable for food choices and activities as well as offering nutrition guides and weekly recipes. Having made a commitment to logging my daily food and activities Jenna was always able to listen and offer support when I encountered many stressful life situations over our time together. She introduced me to many foods and substitutions that I had never heard of that helped me to broaden my nutritional food awareness (which was very limited.) In less than a year I lost 20 pounds and have managed to make several food choices, exercising at the YMCA, self care and sleep routines a part of my daily life. I don’t feel like I am on ANY kind of diet but on a path to continued healthy living.
I am fortunate to have longevity genes in my family and my yearly exams and blood work are all excellent, so I look forward to many more years to enjoy my life traveling and spending time with my grandchildren and great grand-daughter. Thank you Dignity and Jenna for your support!!”
“I have tried many times unsuccessfully to gain control over my binge eating. The program helped me where every other program failed: they helped me break my addiction to sugar. Adrian has been an amazing guide navigating the treacherous recovery journey back to eating to live, instead of living to eat. Thank you Dignity Weight Center.”
“Working with the Dignity Weight Center has been incredibly positive. When I first found information about the Center online the mission and approach resonated with me, but I had no idea how how much my understanding of what and how I eat would shift and how much better I would feel physically and emotionally. I have been thoroughly impressed by the center’s staff and their personal attention to my needs and ability to apply their expertise (shout out to Lianna) and helping to empower me. There is not doubt in my mind that working with Dignity Weight Center has been one of the best choices I have made for myself. If you are considering working with the center I encourage you to take the leap. You will thank yourself and your future self will be so much better for it.”
“Having someone to be accountable to that has no judgement is wonderful! Foods and how they work in your body is explained where they are easily understood and doable. I have done many weight loss programs, this isn’t one of them. This is a way of life.”
“This program has changed my life! I no longer focus on calorie counting and have learned to embrace intuitive eating. Sarah is incredible - compassionate, supportive and so very smart! I look forward to our weekly calls. I am losing weight but the bigger change is my relationship with food. I highly recommend this program!”
“A refreshingly holistic approach to weight loss run by experts in the field.”
“Saleema has been wonderful to work with, she has taught me so much and has been a kind and endlessly knowledgeable resource in my journey. I have already lost 10-15 pounds and feel so much better physically and mentally!”
“This program is great! It’s more than a simple weight-loss program, it takes your whole medical picture into account. I told Adrian (my Dignity Coach) that I have Type II Diabetes and my goal was to make a few changes that would pay off with weight loss and bring down my A1C. At my next check up, my A1C had plummeted to a 6.9, the first time it was below 7.0 since being diagnosed. The pounds were slowly melting away as well. I also learned a lot, mostly foods that I thought were healthier were not. I haven’t had cereal in a year-and-a-half, and I don’t miss it. It’s all sugar and carbs. The big take-away from Dignity was making better choices, reading ingredients (check for sugar), and intermittent fasting (last meal before 7PM). A shout-out also to Ally (my Dignity Coach after Adrian went on maternity leave). Both Adrain and Ally were awesome!”
“When I first found dignity it was online. I had no idea how much it would help me. I thought maybe it was just another weight loss center. But Sarah has been like my therapist and friend. I look forward to each week talking about the week as well as learning something new. It’s not all talk about diet but more emotions. I have gone through a lot of healing. And I am very thankful to have Sarah as my I call her therapist. She has been a huge blessing to me. I have really been on a healing journey and I am very grateful for dignity and Sarah. I really look forward to the outcome of this journey so I intend on seeing it through to the end.”
“I wanted to take the time to give my review about Elena. First,of all she has a huge heart and very compassionate to her patients. she always will give great information,tips..Spot on with getting back when sending out an email on whether its a recipe,question regarding just about anything. Most of all she encourages her patients when the numbers on the scale just isnt happening..when your thru with your call your on top of the world..she’s a gem.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to take the next step towards helping oneself. Dignity Weight was really kind and welcoming. They explained everything clearly and helped me understand what I needed to do to achieve the goals I set for myself. They were motivational.”
“I used the services of Dignity Weight Center for just about a year. During this time, I have been followed by two very warm and professional nutritionists. My goal was to lose 10 pounds but along the way, with the help of their constant and close monitoring I found the motivation to go further and I ended up losing 20 pounds. The most important thing is that with the experience and the discipline gained during my months at Dignity, I managed to maintain my new weight also during the summer when I travelled in Europe for two months. Now I am taking a break from our meetings, but after the holidays I am planning to resume them and to try to lose a few more pounds. It’s nice for me to know that the staff of Dignity is there for me when I need its help.”
“A truly unique center that combines a mind-body approach built around your personalized individual goals. If nothing else has worked, and you are interested in lasting results that focus on your inner well-being, this is the place for you!”
“Starting with my first visit with Dignity Weight Center, which included Dr. Omar and Physician’s Assistant Lianna D’Amore, I was positively impressed with their approach. They presented the potential benefits of working with Dignity Weight Center and answered all my questions. It was never a hard sell style, but always an encouraging, consultative approach: both in what they presented and in their answers to my questions. I signed up for weekly tele-video visits and since I’ve lost 14 pounds, reinforced some things I already knew about diet and nutrition and learned several important things I was unaware of: e.g. post meal insulin spikes and how to better manage them, as well as an introduction to the use of a free smartphone app that helped me track what & when I was eating in my meals and snacks.
My weekly Monday morning visits with PA Lianna help me start each week since last early October, reviewing my progress, tracking my goals and kicking off the week with a positive outlook. Each week we tackled a given meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and then went on to review the more technical aspects of good nutrition and diet at the ingredient and macro level. I love the fact that each meeting is also followed up with an email from Lianna including a recap of what I’d like to focus on in the upcoming week. Dignity Weight Center’s approach, Lianna’s specifically, is always consultative & never judgmental. Each weekly visit is an encouraging & educational mix of interpersonal pleasantries and factual, scientific & medical advice, information and written resources. The materials presented in our visits are always forwarded to me post-visit for my continued reference. I have found such resources as meal-planning, actual recipes, exercise and nutritional info quite valuable in my efforts to manage my weight and meals. I am very happy I came upon Dignity Weight Center, and I would highly recommend it & Lianna, to anyone seeking guidance and real help in achieving their weight management goals…all done with a great deal of Dignity!”
“Dignity Weight Center has made such a difference in my life. The staff are all so kind and supportive. Meeting with Danielle every week has helped me to keep going and not give up on myself. I highly recommend this place!”
“I’m beyond grateful for stumbling across Dignity Weight Center. I finally feel hopeful about my physical, but most importantly my mental health. Saleema John, PA-C is the highlight of my week with her empathetic and medical approach. I only wish I had found her years ago.
I highly recommend Dr. Omar and Saleema to anyone that needs a non-judgmental approach to this journey.”
“Since starting with Dignity Weight Loss I have learned so much about choosing healthy whole foods. I’m not alone in my weight loss journey anymore. The support I’ve gotten from Serena has been a game changer. They give you guidelines on what to eat, share recipes, and explain how certain foods effect the body, and how to make weekly changes slowly with food, exercise, sleeping habits and stress reduction. I would definitely recommend anyone who is struggling with weight issues to seek help through dignity weight loss.”
“The Dignity Clinic has been a welcoming experience for me, I was looking for services in Boston to help me maintain my health as a new foreign worker - Dr. Omar Haque and his team were quick to answer my questions and keeping me accountable during my sessions. I recommend anyone to contact them directly and see what they can do for you, they are extremely accommodating to help you reach your health goals.”
“Even when I have a set back, I have never felt judged. I have been given constant and consistent support as well as have learned so much about my true journey towards being healthy.”
“The Dignity Weight Center is the gold standard when it comes to your patient journey dealing with obesity and weight loss. They set the tone and develop a foundation of trust and connection with every person that comes online, on the phone or through the doors. They answer patients’ questions sincerely, return their calls promptly, and exhibit patience and compassion at every encounter. They know how to prioritize a positive patient encounter, whether in face-to-face interactions or over the phone or online. They ensure your conversation about obesity and weight loss remains HIPAA compliant and focused on you. The staff and clinicians truly understand your struggles and barriers to weight loss. They know that your journey with obesity and weight loss is a very personal experience unique to each patient. The clinicians and staff will encourage and help you succeed in your weight loss journey.”
“I have found my experience with Courtney, and Brianna before her, to be wonderful. Courtney has been encouraging and supportive. She has worked with me to be more thoughtful about what and when I eat, giving me tips and sharing articles and resources that have been both interesting and helpful.”
“Very respectful, empathetic and genuinely nice staff. Jenn was a great counselor and actively listened to my concerns and worked at my level.”
“It is with gratitude that I share my experience through the years working with Dr. Omar Haque and his wonderful team. I am beyond grateful as I continue to have the pleasure to work with Dr. Haque and his team at Dignity Weight Center. Dr. Haque is genuinely committed to his patients as well as his team. He is compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable and easy to talk to as he makes you feel welcomed, cared for and completely at ease. If you have concerns/questions and need need assistance, you will be happy to know that Dr. Haque and his team’s response time to questions/concerns via email/phone are instantaneous, they are always there when you need them. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Haque/Dignity Weight Center!”
“Dr. Haque is a thoughtful and intuitive professional. He harnesses an immense knowledge base and wealth of experience to provide those with whom he works the care that they need. ”
“This doctor really is at the top of his game and has developed a methodology for weight management that really works.”
“Dr. Haque and his team were friendly, attentive, informed and creative. This is not your Mothers “diet center”. I am looking forward to continuing this journey with Dr. Haque.”
“Truly amazing place with a wonderful philosophy, and doing very substantive work!”
““I have to applaud this innovative, holistic and personal approach to weight loss. Inspiring stuff. Congratulations to Dr Haque and team.””
“A wonderful team with an inspiring mission. Dr. Haque is insightful and compassionate with his work, using evidence based techniques to help with weight loss. ”
“A wonderful place. Everyone is treated with immense dignity and care, and it is very well run.”
