Dr. Giese prescribed me Semaglutide and it truly changed my life. I am down 28 pounds and I finally feel like myself in my own body. I had no side effects and Dr. Giese's team was so helpful and responsive to all my questions. HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to lose weight. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
Dr. Giese was able to prescribe me the semaglutide compound and it has changed my life. I started on a low dose and it has been able to help with my "endo belly". Often times when you have endometriosis you can get SEVERE bloat and there's not much you can do but wait days/weeks for it to go away. It can come on if you have too much sugar, gluten, dairy etc. It is so hard to completely avoid those when at parties/out to eat never knowing if there's cross contamination. Since starting the semaglutide I have not experience any bloating!!!!!!! its been 6 months and my weight has dropped 13 pounds and the constant weight fluctuation is gone! I use to gain and lose 10 pounds a month due to bloat from my period and now that seems to be a thing of the past. This has taken away so much stress out of my life (like will my clothes fit). This is the first remedy that has given me the results and freedom I've always wanted! Cannot recommend it enough!!
I cannot recommend Dr. Sharon Giese's Elective Weight Loss program enough!

Thanks to Dr. Giese's expertise and guidance, I managed to shed all the extra pounds and drop four sizes, getting back to my normal, comfortable weight. The program provided me with the right tools, support, and motivation to achieve my weight loss goals effectively. Dr. Giese and her team were incredibly supportive throughout the process, ensuring that I stayed on track and made progress. Their personalized approach and attention to detail made all the difference in my journey. Not only have I regained my confidence and physical well-being, but I have also learned valuable lessons about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The results speak for themselves, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking to transform your body and regain control of your health, Dr. Sharon Giese's Elective Weight Loss program is the way to go. Thank you, Dr. Giese, for helping me achieve this incredible transformation!
My experience with Dr. Giese and her Elective Weight Loss program could not have been better. I was finally able to take off the weight I had gained over the course of a few years, and reached my goal weight in early February - 26 pounds lost over 26 weeks with a weekly injection which gave me just the right amount of appetite suppression. The formula Dr. Giese developed caused me no discomfort whatsoever, no side effects at all. My dosage level was carefully monitored by her and her staff. I had support throughout the weight loss period, and continue to have that level of support during the taper down phase of the program. I feel 100% supported. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Giese and her staff.
Excellence exemplified. Dr. Giese has the eye of an artist. She never tries to “oversell” and creates impactful, long-lasting, beautiful, and natural results. Thrilled with the results of my facelift. She explains everything, is incredibly responsive, and invested in the best possible outcome. Great staff, too!
First off let me say I am a plastic surgery veteran and this is not my first radio dealing with cosmetic surgery. I am a 46 year old entertainer and have been getting fillers, lipo and all sorts of things since I was in my 20s. I found out about Dr G when I was on set on a television show and I saw a woman that looked well too good for her age. I corned the lady and I said who is doctor and then I finally got it out of her. I went right away and got some simple fillers but what I was amazed with was Dr G bed side manners and she was not trying to hustle me . I then saw how she did mini facelifts and that was my next procedure. A couple months later my partner turned to me and said you look 10 years younger. He is very brutally honest and well hopefully I get rid of him soon but let me go on. Now I have breast implants in and they been in since 1997 . My daughter was born 2004 and well they were big and it was time to get them removed. Dr G did amazing job , I was so worried about letting this implants go and she did an amazing lift. I love Brenda too who works in the office cause after the surgery she was willing to answer any questions and break stuff down. I honestly never been to a doctor this good cause Dr G thing is your health first. She cares about her patients well being and she won't hustle you. I have actually saved money with this doctor.
I received Botox treatment for jaw sharpening and shaping from Dr. Giese 3 weeks ago with my follow up appointment today. The treatment went seamlessly and I felt no pain AT ALL! The Botox injections felt like I was getting an eyebrow tweezed.
First and best experience with a plastic surgeon, definitely spoiled me for when I went to go get my nose done with someone else (only because she doesn’t do rhinoplasty). I went to her to get my buccal fat removed in the winter of 2018. They worked with me to get as close to the date I had in mind, since I came in three weeks before I wanted my surgery done. I have severe anxiety and from the moment I stepped into my gown, day of surgery, everyone made me feel calm and comfortable. Not to mention how sweet everyone is. She also did my fillers for my dark circles and I ended up going back to her to get my jowls done a few months later. For the jowls they do it while you are awake, and because I am extremely afraid of needles and my anxiety is too high the experience was not pleasant. But leave it to Dr. Giese and her staff to make me as comfortable as possible. I ended up crying and was shaking uncontrollably during the procedure but the doctor, the nurse, and Meg made me feel so much better and not as embarrassed. Not to mention Meg held my hand the entire time! I don’t think I would trust anyone with my face other then her. It was the best 5k I ever spent (buccal). The jowls cost less. Not to mention she had to listen to me complain about how I don’t see a difference, and explain to me several times that it takes a while. I believe I saw my full results with the buccal within 6 months. But I did see a small difference within about a month.
My experience with Dr. Giese was wonderful from start to finish. She is personable and compassionate; she advised me on what procedures would be best without any "hard sell". I'm a man in my mid-30s and my face had gotten fatter over the years irrespective of overall weight gain/loss, I lost my jawline, and I had an awful double chin. I began to hate photos of myself. Dr. Giese recommended buccal fat pad removal, chin and neck lipo, and botox on my jaw muscles. I got all of them and could not have been more delighted with the results. My face has the sleeker, more tapered look it used to, my jawline is back, and my double chin is gone! I used to dread looking in the mirror but now when I do I'm thrilled. Overall I'd say I look about eight years younger. The incisions were tiny and virtually unnoticeable. The office is professional, patient-focused, and the coordinator Migena was superbly helpful in answering my questions and allaying any concerns.
Dr. Giese is a true artist! I was noticing sagging skin and slight jowling and wanted the least invasive procedure. I tried Ulthera which didn't do much of anything. After weeks of research I decided to go to Dr. Giese and I am so happy that I did. With just a few painless injections, I have my jawline back! I was amazed at the end result. So if you aren't ready for a full lift, this is the way to go.
Simple solutions can to filler, such as Radiesse. Other methods can include a local flap of skin. However, that is generally reserved for reconstructive surgery.
Pancreatitis is a rare complication of taking GLP-1 agonists, such as Ozempic. Pancreatic cancer is not an adverse event from taking this medication. It is important to stay hydrated while on this medication.
Insurance coverage can be tricky. First you have to meet the FDA requirements, which are a BMI or over 30 or a BMI over 27 with another medical problem, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Then your doctor must be willing to write the prescription, then you insurance company has to approve it. Finally, the pharmacy has to have it in stock. If any of that fails, working with a physician, weight loss expert that obtains medication from a compounding company will be your only other alternative.
Semaglutide is almost identical to a natural peptide in the body that slows stomach emptying. It makes you feel full faster and longer. That sends a signal to your brain that you are full. Basically you will eat less because you are not as hungry, have less craving for food and many describe a decrease in food noise.
The active ingredient for Wegovy and Ozempic is semaglutide. Yes Wegovy is FDA approved for weight loss and Ozempic is not. However, Ozempic can result in weight loss as well. The maximum dose in an Ozempic pen is 2.0 mg and Wegovy 2.4 mg.
