He is absolutely hands down one of my favorite I love how honest and open he is and he doesn't take any s*** from them and he doesn't take excuses either.... And he always gives them every outlet for help...whether it be mentally or physically from beginning to end he's with them through everything.

He’s a saint, honestly…..he tough loves his patients and their enablers through denial of their food addictions and poor eating habits. He’s incredibly calm and consistent with them at their worst.

This doctor cant be replicated. He is one of a kind and saved many it is something that has to be respected👏👏👏

What a compassionate man. May God bless him.

I love this Doc. He tells it like it is. These people who come to him for help want a quick fix. What gets me, is they most all of them can lose enough weight to get surgery, but cant seem to continue to lose weight without it. It takes a lot of hard work for sure. Sometimes surgery is even worse... My heart goes out to this Doc. Oh how he must get so frustrated, and he keeps trying to help.

Dr. Now is an amazing man. And some of the patients make me angry because he is getting up there in age. They don't want to follow the program but they are wasting his time. He could help many more people if he didn't waste time with people who don't want to follow his instructions.

I have had this procedure and I now have a better life. Actually this saved my life.

Dr. Now I have loved watching you series. I am very thankful you have been teaching what I need to do. I still have weight to loose for my health. But thank you for trying to help others.

[bettyschaefer]

[lynneforsyth]

I love Dr Now, what an amazing man he truly is. I love his character, his nature and his lovely nature with the patients...love him!😘
Unbelievable people trying to make money from him should be made to pay for libellous accusations...shame on them!

[kati-ana]

I adore Dr. Nowzarandan. He seems to really care to help his patients to live a healthier life. He takes no BS which is 'tough love' which many only understand. But his patients treat him so bad and disrespectfully, often speaking to him hatefully and he never loses his patience. When he retires his show will be over. No one wants to see "My 600-Lb Life" without him.

[jeanramey]

Dr. Nowzaradan is the best. I saw this other show where they were celebrating after 50 pounds, I think Dr. Nowzaradan would have said "good, but you got a long way to go. I know he has lost a lot of his patients and it is probably not easy for him. I hope someone follow his foot steps.
