"Dr. Bera-Miller helped me get off the merry-go-round of weight loss-weight gain and mindless eating with an approach based on current medical information, the development of a plan that works for me, kindness and encouragement. I have lost almost 80 pounds since I started working with her and I am confident that my new mindful eating habits are with me for life."

“For 25 years (as old as my "baby") I have struggled with my weight. You name the program and I've done it. Nothing was successful until I started with Dr. Bera-Miller in January. She was definitely the "key" that I was missing. I have lost over 50 lbs and know that I could never have done this without Dr. Bera-Miller's help. She lacks the arrogance of a lot of doctors, is an excellent listener and extremely helpful in a firm but very gentle way. She's very knowledgeable, competent and encouraging. I have more weight to lose but for the first time, with Dr. Bera-Miller's help, I feel that I can finally be in control of my weight. I am very happy to recommend Dr. Bera-Miller.”

“I decided to visit Dr. Bera-Miller because my health was declining and the biggest sign of my declining health was weight gain.  I had experienced significant weight gain in my twenties during a lengthy relationship and lost the weight after the relationship ended badly.  I maintained a healthy weight for several years until I married my husband.  Again, in my thirties, I started gaining significant weight.  I could not figure out how to juggle a demanding professional career, marriage and trying to maintain a healthy life style.  I started seeing Dr. Bera-Miller to learn how to make a permanent life style change which would allow me to lose weight and stay healthy.  Dr. Bera-Miller's bariatric medical practice combines the expertise of a doctor, therapist, nutritionist and life style coach.  After close to a year of weekly and ultimately bi-weekly visits with Dr. Bera-Miller, I lost 40 lbs., my blood pressure and BMI are within healthy ranges and I consistently have energy to manage being married, having a career and enjoying my life.  Her partnership in helping me to lose weight and maintain a healthy life style has been invaluable.  She has given me a tool belt to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of my life.”

“I started seeing Dr. Bera-Miller in January 2009. I had gained 90 pounds over the last 10 years. I could not believe it and what had I done to myself. Over the next five months, both my father and father in law passed away, my father over a long three month battle that kept me traveling off and on for seven weeks. I had very little time to concentrate on my weight loss. But through it all, Dr. Bera-Miller never gave up on me and 10 pounds had dropped off. Through what was the worst five months of my life, I had lost weight, not gained. I got serious in the beginning of June, and now three months later I am down 32 pounds in total, have lost over 10% of my weight and am more motivated than ever. Dr. Bera-Miller has taught me the correct balance of protein in what I eat, how to log what I eat in a simple way that is not a burden, to listen to myself and what motivates me, to tackle upcoming hurdles that have always been my downfall and most of all, if I mess up one day, don't give up, keep going. She is a huge inspiration. You too can do this - this is not a diet, this is your life and a new way of looking at it.”

“If I had designed the type of doctor I would have liked to meet, I would not have been able to imagine anyone as wonderful as Dr. Bera-Miller. She is warm and kind, and her demeanor is always welcoming and caring. She genuinely cares about her patients, and she enjoys her work. She is very knowledgeable in not only the science of weight loss, but she is also considerate of the individual as a whole person. Dr. Bera-Miller is highly qualified to assist anyone on their journey to finding their best self. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“I have always had a challenge bringing my weight down. I was aware of Dr. Bera-Miller's practice and visited her website. After reading her biography and knowing her specialties, I chose to get on her program. On October 29, 2008, I had my first visit. Six months later, I had lost 25 lbs. I am elated. I am now on the maintenance program keeping up with my goal! Thank you Dr. Bera Miller!”
