I have been a patient with Doctor Calabrese for many years now. I have been through many different medication combinations to treat my symptoms. Throughout all of the trial and errors I remained hopeful that Dr. Calabrese would find the right combination of meds. She has!!! I feel better mentally now than I have since I have been with her. Unfortunately, throughout my years of being on medication I have put on a great deal amount of weight. Over 150 pounds to be exact. Recently Dr. Calabrese explained to me about a new addition to her practice, the metabolic psychiatry program. I was a little skeptical at first because I have tried and failed so many diets, more than I can even tell you. I was thinking that this would be another failure and I was unsure that I wanted to pursue it. I not only would be putting all my trust in something unknown, I would also be making a significant investment. Dr. Calabrese has put me at ease. She has explained the science behind it all as well as emphasized her team approach to this program. I have started to work with Rachel and I am so impressed with her body of knowledge, kindness, compassion and support. Of course I am ever grateful that Dr. Calabrese is on the forefront of it all. I feel completely supported by all these highly skilled and experienced women. I have quite a bit of weight to lose and as I said I’m just in the beginning stages. I have never been more encouraged by a program than I have with this new metabolic psychiatry program. I am very hopeful and encouraged to see results with the changes that I am making. To Dr. Calabrese I want to say thank you not only for sticking by me over the past several years, but for opening up her practice to include this amazing program. I’m so glad that she is an out of the box thinker and that I have more hope than I ever have concerning weight loss and weight management. Thank you Dr. Calabrese from the bottom of my heart!
