I have had a great experience with JumpstartMD. I was initially hesitant to go, thinking that I could lose weight myself with just a little discipline. But after a bit of nudging, I went to my first appointment and am so glad I did. 3 months later, I'm now approaching my goal weight, I feel healthier and I've learned to eat better. The team is wonderful and caring, and the accountability of the regular appointments kept me more honest than I think I could have been without Jumpstart. Some other reviewers commented that the... read more
I was a member about a year ago and quit because there were horrible inconsistencies with staff and the clinician rubbed me the wrong way. I DID like the program itself, and DID lose weight, so I decided to go back. I have held off on writing this review until I have had a few visits under my belt. Here we go.. Negatives: It is nearly impossible to get a hold of someone. The phone takes you in a loop, or to a voicemail that does not allow you to leave a message. I have been told that this is being fixed. I have been over ch... read more
Business response:
Thanks for your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you've had a good experience with the Walnut Creek team and the JumpstartMD program. We also appreciate hearing your concerns about our phone system and the billing errors. We are working hard to address these types of issues, and your feedback is really valuable.
You get a pretty clear picture from these reviews--this program is inconsistent yet can prove very helpful. One strong positive is Jumpstart's use of medical tests. The testing illustrates how much your overall health improves with every few pounds of weight loss. Another positive--the counseling staff I saw was helpful, personable and either well-trained in nutrition or they hold a degree in the field. I continue to benefit from their knowledge and support. But the negatives that eventually drove me away reflect the over... read more
Love this program! I lost 35 lbs in 3-4 months and have kept it off for a year and a half. I wanted a program that I ate my own food and wasn't dependent on their merchandise. Jumpstart taught me how to eat and what my specific nutritional intake should be. It changed my life and was the best gift I could give to myself. A little expensive but that's what kept me on track.
First off, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose. Just 15 pounds that I had been struggling with for a long time. I felt that $388 a month was steep but I liked the program and the people. I also liked their supplements. However, in December I had to have major surgery and took the 90 day hold as was suggested. I had paid through December 21st. 90 days to me took me well into March. I was just notified my 90 days would end on March 1. I called for an explanation and was told because November 29th. was my last appointment, th... read more
The program works! Staff is knowledgeable and supportive.
I really enjoy the staff at JumpStartMD in Walnut Creek, but it needs to be said that Linda is AWESOME!!
Ok, I am in love with Jumpstart, MD Walnut Creek. I have been a member for about a year and in that time I have lost 52 lbs and feel great about my diet. I feel like I have honestly found a plan that will work for me for life! I have been on EVERY diet in the past (WW, jenny craig, south beach, even gwyneth paltrow's random juice diet) and this is the only one that has ever worked for me! Of course, their meal plan/nutrition works, but for me the most beneficial part of the plan was meeting with my clinician Christy on a we... read more
I can't understand how this business identifies itself as being so different. Other than the appetite suppressants, it was a low-carb meal plan. The weekly checkin was to give me my meds, ask how I'm doing with eating and exercising, and ask if I have any questions. Everyone was nice, but it did not feel tailored or personalized, and no one ever got deep to see what my eating issues might be so I could sustain the weight loss. It was super expensive, and it took me a year to lose 25 pounds. A year and a half later, I have ga... read more
