David Amron, MD

Dr. Amron is kind and non-judgmental—almost every doctor I encounter blames me for my genetic condition of Lipedema and doesn’t recognize it’s a true diagnosis. After Dr.Amron performed liposuction with Vaser I’m able to walk “normal” and not dealing with bulky inner thighs. I bought boots! I’m wearing shorts for the first time in 20 years! At age 63 I’ve got my mobility back and am walking more than 3 miles a day! Thank you Dr. Amron for giving me my life back.

I am currently 6 months post-op from lipedema surgeries in the lower and upper leg, upper arm, and hip areas. I spent a considerable amount of time researching physicians to consider for these procedures. Dr. Amron rose to the top of my list almost immediately not only for the results he has shown, but also for his commitment to this disease and the patients who suffer from it. He truly stands out from the rest for his dedication and relentless pursuit to help lipedema patients. All of my interactions with the staff from the initial surgical consultations and scheduling, the MLD therapies, the follow-up calls have been phenomenal. You truly feel as though they have your best interest at heart and care for you as an individual. Meeting Dr. Amron in person for the first time for my pre-op appointment prior to my first surgery instantly put me at ease. He has an incredible bedside manner that is a rarity among physicians in his category. It is unusual to find someone who is so very skilled as a surgeon that also has such empathy and compassion for patients. He very much put me at ease through all the surgeries. His OR staff is amazing. They take amazing care of you before, during and after. They all helped me feel at ease going into each procedure knowing I was in very caring and capable hands. My results have been phenomenal. My pain is gone, literally gone!!! I never thought I could feel this good in my own body again. Once I was cleared for exercise, I had to stop my first workout after about a minute because I was crying so hard. They were tears of pure joy and elation. I didn't know my body could feel so light and pain-free while moving. Lipedema is a slow and insidious disease. You don't realize how badly things have become until you are able to remove the diseased tissue. One of my main motivations for surgery was my favorite sport and hobby - downhill skiing. In the previous few years, it had become unbearable. I had custom boots made, and nothing could help the pain. I would end up in tears on the mountain, but still ski through it because I love it so much. This winter, I was able to ski PAIN FREE. I was skiing like I did 30 years ago. It was truly amazing. I am still healing, and I am hopeful for even more improvement aesthetically, but I can shop for clothes and not hide from myself in the mirrors anymore. When I hear Dr. Amron's voice on interviews, I start to tear up as I am so grateful I was able to do these surgeries with him. He is a true pioneer and advocate for lipedema. I feel blessed to have found him and his practice and to have been under all of their care. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Amron, Michelle, Evelyn, Pearl, Naomi, and all of the OR staff! I am just one of the many people you have helped to truly change my life for the better.

Dr. Amron, You rocked my world! Since I met you a year and half ago, my life has so dramatically changed for the better that words cannot fully express my joy and elation. Each day is filled with immense gratitude for how fortunate I am that our paths have crossed. My quality of life has improved 100% since my lipedema surgeries. I am eternally grateful.

My Lipedema journey began at 12 yrs old. It went undiagnosed for over 50 years. I had all the classic symptoms, and it was getting progressively worse every year. I met Dr. Amron in November, 2023, and it’s that day my new life began… at age 70. I was in constant pain and never knew why. Dr Amron told me about lipedema and told me I was in stage 2, headed towards stage 3. If I had not found The Roxbury Institute, I would have been headed for a very uncomfortable future, as I was already having trouble with stairs, exercising and walking. Now post-surgeries, life is very good! Thank you Dr. Amron

I’ve gone down 4 sizes and have full mobility with no pain. A month before my first surgery, my husband and I went to a restaurant for our Anniversary. I had to walk down stairs, and I remember holding onto the railing and my husband as I painfully maneuvered down the flight of concrete stairs. Just last week we went back to the same restaurant, and I said, “John, watch this!” as skipped down and back up the stairs and did a little turn when done! Thank you Dr. Amron

Air travel was always so painful. In December 24, I flew back East to see my family. First airplane flight ever where I didn’t experience swelling, discomfort and pain. Thank you Dr. Amron

After decades of hiding my lipedema behind clothes, I am now wearing form fitting clothes and skirts and dresses. And half boots! Wearing all happily and proudly. Thank you Dr. Amron

And to your staff, each carries the a wonderful frequency that is beautifully present in each person I encountered. The same frequency of healing and caring that you have in you, Dr. Amron

Every day when I wake up, I feel the joy of being the person I always wanted to be. I feel like a teenager. Thank you Dr. Amron

I love my transformation. You are my Healer and my Hero.

My experience with Dr Amron and his staff was exceptional. They are very prompt, knowledgeable, the staff exudes professionalism,and takes the time to listen and explain thoroughly. I am looking forward to working with them over the next few months. I feel very good about leaving my lipedema
concerns in their very capable hands.

I had 2 surgeries with Dr. Amron to abate my debilitating lipedema and mobility issues. Dr. Amron did a stellar job with both surgeries, and it is amazing for me to be able to walk without pain for the first time in over 25 years. A real Life changer!

I had 2 surgeries with Dr. Amron and could not be more pleased, as he was treating me for my lipedema and increased immobility. My ability to walk was immediately improved within a day of surgery, and it has already improved since then. I could barely walk 1/4 of a mile without looking for the nearest bench, and now easily walk 2-3 miles without pain, and it's only been 1 month since my last surgery. My calves have lost 3 " and aesthetically, he did a wonderful job in making my look proportionate even though that wasn't really my goal. I just wanted to walk without pain and not look forward to becoming wheelchair bound. His staff, Pearl (his MLD therapist) was amazing and so reassuring, as were the rest of the team, Michele-my follow up nurse, and the after care nurses Tania and Raquele. A great experience!

I am thrilled that I picked Dr. Amron to perform my 3 lipedema reduction surgeries. My first was torso, second was thighs, and third was arms + calves. I’m two months post-op on the first, one month on the second, and not quite two weeks on the third. To say these surgeries were life-changing is an understatement. They have fixed so many health and biomechanical issues, some that I have had since childhood. My gait, foot, and ankle issues that I have had since childhood are fixed. My GERD is better, and hormonal issues are resolving. For the first time in my life, my body looks normal, not deformed. I cannot recommend Dr. Amron enough. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but he truly cares about his patients. Review500

Dr. Amron is a wonderful and insightful doctor. He took really good care of my lipedema needs and answered all my questions and concerns. He even called the evening of surgery to check up on how I’m doing. Overall experience is great! Highly recommend.

I suffered & struggled for years with Lipedema, not ever knowing what I had. Finding Dr Amron and watching his videos and reading his book, I began to educate myself on this horrible disease. After my first consultation with Dr Amron’s office, I knew he was the surgeon for me! I was fully informed and told exactly what to expect. I was treated and cared for so wonderfully. I’m extremely happy with the care and the results with all three of my surgeries. I am now pain free from Lipedema and I have my life back at 60! I’m excited about the next 60 years feeling my best and living my best life Lipedema FREE! I owe so much to Dr Amron, Dr Mosherfi and staff. They are the BEST in the US.

!00%, I am a very HAPPY 65 year old Lippy lady!! I had my ankles, calves and upper arms surgically treated in Jan. My thighs were done at the end of Feb.

I went into the surgery with more of a concern about the pain I had been experiencing and not so much about the cosmetic appearance. It was so much more than what I expected. The pain from having Lipedema is gone and my legs look beautiful. Dr Amron did a fabulous artist job on them. He told me in my consultation this would be life changing for me and he is so right.

I am beyond grateful to Dr Amron, his entire staff and surgical team. Dr Amron has dedicated his career to treating Lipedema and spreading awareness about this disease. He truly cares about his patients and changing their lives for the better.



I am mentioning a few people here that work for the Roxbury Institute, because without them to help me I would not be where I am today in my recovery.

Dr Amron, Evelyn, Nancy, Michele, Courtney, and Pearl, my MLD Therapist. Thank you, to each of you, for being along on my journey to good health.



God Bless The Roxbury Institute!

Dr. Amron is outstanding.
In addition to his many years of experience, research and expertise with Lipedema, he is very compassionate and thinks of his patients first.
I would highly recommend Dr. Amron and his team at Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT) at The Roxbury Institute in Beverly Hills.
