Dr. Kahan has not only been a great doctor to me the past few years, he has really become a friend that I look forward to catching up with. He is always positive and keeps things in perspective. When I moved from DC he made it clear that he would still always be around for me if I needed anything. We have had phone appointments to keep me on track and they have been really helpful. I cannot say enough good things about him!
When you re done dieting and just want to invest in your health
NCWW was exactly what I needed because Dr. Kahan and his colleagues focused on my individual needs, rather than trying to indoctrinate me into some sort of one-size-fits-all program. There is no "do this," or "do that," only "let's figure out what works for you." That's why they are the real deal.
Only here to point out that the first review was 5 stars by Scott Kahan, the founder of this facility.
If you need to lose a lot of weight, and it seems like you've tried everything, consider calling for an appointment to meet with Dr. Scott Kahan at the National Center for Weight and Wellness (NCWW) in DC., and just go from there! I first saw Dr. Scott Kahan on a Ted Talk and thought he was amazing -- and then I was able to see him in person, and he is in fact absolutely wonderful. He's non-judgmental, so supportive and extremely knowledgeable! The NCWW has an incredibly fun and supportive staff and there are a number of really interesting sessions you can attend throughout the week (from weight management classes to yoga -- to food shopping skills). Invest in yourself, give them a call!
When I stumbled across Dr. Kahan's Center, I was excited about the NOT-one-size-fits-all approach and myriad of activities and options. But "why even bother" haunted me. After all, trying program after program, *this-is-the-one* inevitably morphed to stumbling/gaining/giving up, with the customary emotional fallout . I was exhausted, and my health was bad.
But slowly it became evident - the Center's approach is different: sustainable, life changing and life saving, if you are open to what the amazing staff offers.
After reading another review, I'd like to mention that the Center has many plans and a la cart selections. Trying to explain it all via phone would take an awfully long time, not counting the inevitable questions. (I had a ton.) So orientations are held every Thursday and once a month on Saturdays. (No pressure, though.)
I have great respect for the work of Dr. Kahan and his entire staff. They are extremely supportive and knowledgeable. With their advice and support, I have lost a substantial amount of weight and have reduced my blood pressure significantly. I am having success and I feel energized. I am extremely grateful to the entire team for their guidance and support.
I just called to get information about the weight loss program and I was told that the only way I can get information about the program is if I come to the free consultation on thursday or I have to schedule an appointment and pay $140 to find out how much the program will cost. When I requested to speak to someone other than the lady who answered the call, I was informed that no one in the office can answer my question unless I come to the information session.
NCWW offered the most well-coordinated, comprehensive weight management program I've ever encountered (and I've been through a lot of them). They help you approach the issue from all angles, including nutrition strategies, monitoring your bloodwork, cognitive behavioral therapy, specific meal plans for your goals, etc. Services are offered both in one-to-one appointments, group work, and even some exercise classes (yoga). The staff are some of the most empathetic and knowledgeable people in the field of weight loss. I wholeheartedly recommend NCWW to anyone who struggles with weight/eating issues and seeks a long-term solution.
The female and male professionals who staff the National Center for Weight and Wellness genuinely care about those of us who reach out to them for advice, counsel and timely assistance.
Our prospects for achieving our goals are totally within our reach and are our responsibility.
The short and longer term benefits of working with the men and women of NCWW is access to their banks of knowledge, practical experience and their flexible willingness to custom tailor a program that works best for each of us !!!
