Dr. is amazing, informative and straight forward. I didn't think I had much success with other things I've tried and my primary care dr. referred me to him. I've lost about 45 lbs in 6 months. Whenever I have any questions or concerns everyone is there to assist and prioritize me as a patient. Customer service is wonderful and staff is patient and office is super clean as well.

Loving my journey with Wayless Clinic thus far! Shout out to the team as a whole for always being so professional and welcoming!
I am diabetic for more than 3 decades. I am compliant on my medication, my sugar was uncontrolled, seen a lot of doctors and my body used to high sugar that if it goes 10 and below I don't feel good. I was on fast and slow acting insulin for more than 7 years, super high and super low are happening every now and then. My eye sight get worst, numbness on my limbs. I bump into Zocdoc and met Dr. Nakawa. He seen me for more than 2 months, my sugar averaging from 105 to 150. Never had 200+ or -60. My eye sight is getting better, I can read far again. I don't feel dizzy or sluggish. I feel great! I feel like I am getting my life back. I get rid of my fast acting. Aim next month is to get rid of my long acting. I am thankful to Dr. Nakawa, for me I considered it a miracle. Thank you Mr. Nakawa!
Absolutely stunning new office! Elegant and attention to detail. Personnel is very friendly and professional. I recommend this clinic 100%
Great team and very experienced
The doctor and staff at the clinic are very friendly and helpful in helping me manage my weight and overall health.
Dr. Nakawa is excellent. He cares about your overall health. Pays attention to other medications you’re taking and offers insight on possible changes. He remembers each patients case and makes you feel comfortable with any questions you may have. When I leave his office I know I’ve made the right decision in choosing Wayless for my weight loss journey.
Excellent product great staff and great people
Love the new office and friendly service ❤️😉.
I started my journey with this clinic in September 2025 at 230 lbs, and as of March 2026 I’m down to 182 lbs — a total loss of 52 pounds. This has truly been life-changing for me. For years, I struggled with weight and disordered eating. I tried diets, calorie counting, and everything in between, but nothing worked long-term — I would always gain the weight back. What I appreciate most is that this is not just about weight loss — it’s about changing your relationship with food. The injections helped regulate my appetite, and for the first time, I don’t feel constant hunger. My body naturally craves lighter, healthier foods, and I no longer rely on things like alcohol the way I used to. Even within the first week, I noticed a difference — simple things like bending down or moving around became easier. The staff is incredibly kind, supportive, and professional. The doctor truly cares and guides you through the process — from nutrition to lifestyle and overall health — making sure you’re losing weight the right way. After about 7 months, my life has completely changed. I feel better, I look different, and I receive compliments almost every day. I’m very grateful that options like this exist. This journey gave me a fresh start, and I’m excited to continue.
Amazing dr and team

10/10 experience everyone is always so helpful and kind and the price is so good !
Dr Nakawa is a great listener. He was very enthusiastic and informative to help you get to your goal. The process was easy to start and I’ll be receiving my medication soon.
So excited to officially start my weight loss journey! 🌟 I went in today at 174 lbs and, while the initial scale didn't qualify me, the amazing staff offered a full body scan instead. Getting that Visbody 3D scan was such a game-changer for a more accurate diagnosis! 🧬 I’m happy to say I’ve been approved to start my injections. A huge thank you to the staff for their awesome service and for truly caring about my progress. Let’s do this! 💪✨"
Pleasant experience, very professional and informative. Highly recommended!! Staff and Doctor are very concerned on your health and goals.
Way Less Weight Loss Clinic has truly been a blessing to me, not only have I lost weight but the clinic has taught me how to keep it off!
First time seeing Dr Nakawa and I am so happy I made an appointment. His office staff was very friendly, polite, and professional. His office is very clean with all the newest updated equipment. The scale even told me I was 2 inches shorter than I thought I was..lol Dr Nakawa was a very nice Dr who asked questions answered questions and explained things in a way that made it easy to understand. Very professional and kind. I am hoping to start a new weight loss journey and to be successful at it with the help of Dr Nakawa.
The staff , vicki, Billie, & Celeste are AWESOME!! They are so friendly and works with you! The Dr. Is AMAZING!! He takes his time with you, educates you & treats you holistically! The NP is also amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! I lost a lot of weight in a short time!
I am so grateful that they could help me on my journey.

I started at 286 pounds and now I’m down to 148 pounds Best decision I made for myself is going to see Dr. Nakala ladies And gentlemen, if you have not picked up the phone to schedule your appointment, you should you will not regret it. I promise you make the call. Tell him that you read my review
Everyone was so helpful.
Continue Your Weight-Loss Journey With Way Less
We understand that changing weight-loss providers can raise questions about your medication, treatment plan, appointments, and monthly costs. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible.
You may not need to start your treatment journey over. At Way Less, we review your previous weight-loss program, medication history, current dosage, and treatment progress to determine the most appropriate next step. If you have been taking your medication consistently without an interruption, you may be able to continue at your current dosage. Depending on your treatment history and clinical evaluation, your provider may also determine that a dosage adjustment, including an increase, is appropriate.
We also understand that your previous provider may have offered more affordable monthly pricing. Bring your current monthly treatment cost with you to your appointment. If your previous cost was lower than our standard pricing, we may be able to match or offer comparable pricing, depending on the medication, treatment plan, and our ability to accommodate that cost.
At Way Less, we want you to have a clear understanding of your treatment options and costs so you can make an informed decision about continuing your weight-management journey.
