The new office has a wonderful atmosphere, along with the waiting rooms. Everything was new and very comfortable. I felt like I was taking to an old friend instead of a doctor. The doctor made time for me and was not in a hurry and not on a time schedule.

I’m so glad I found The Way Less Weight Loss Clinic after moving from Arizona! Dr. Nakawah was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, he walked me through what to eat and what to avoid in a way that was easy to understand. The atmosphere of the clinic is beautiful and peaceful, and the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend!

Courteous and friendly staff. Dr Nakawa is knowledgeable, and has a great bedside manner. However, he is also a Drill Sergeant when it comes to accountability! I, for one, really need that! Thanks to him, I’m down 40 pounds so far this year! 💪🏾🔥

Some of the best staff I’ve ever met! All very professional yet personable and very genuine in wanting to help everyone meet their goals. Dr. Nakawa has helped me so much to hit my weight loss goals while also creating new and healthier lifestyle habits and has even celebrated my milestones with me during appointments! With having PCOS, he has given me help to lose weight and increase my fertility as well as just minimize the symptoms that come with PCOS by losing weight. I’ve been seeing Dr. Nakawa for almost a year and have lost almost 60 pounds thanks to his help with lifestyle changes, advice on exercises, and medication. Highly recommend Way Less!

Dr. Nakawa is incredible and has helped me gain control of my diabetes and manage my weight. The office staff are wonderful accommodating and extremely efficient. For those of us with chronic health issues it's very hard to find a doctor who will take the time to listen to your questions and concerns. He is very thorough and not only addresses your worries, but provides you with a comprehensive care plan that is tailored to your specific needs. He also keeps track of his patients who may miss appointments and will remember you, remember your name and will contact you to remind you of appointments. He's been more than willing to examine my medical history, which is quite extensivel considering that I've been ill for 25 years with SLE Lupus, Sjorgrens and diabetes. In this day and age patient care isn't what it used to be. But, here at this clinic they maintain a standard of excellence rarely seen. I am so grateful and blessed to have found this clinic. I highly recommend this facility for ANYONE searching for weight loss and an over all life changing experience! THANK YOU DOCTOR AND STAFF FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND SUPERIOR HEALTH CARE. YOU FEEL MORE LIKE FAMILY AND I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
