“Excellent medical provider and staff. Looking forward to great results. Provides a highly individualized health plan to achieve goals. If you are looking to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, call Dr. Brandon Elliott.”
“Dr. Elliot is fantastic! He's passionate and prepared. He was able to walk into the room, and we discussed my history, primarily to clarify certain aspects. We then talked about expectations from me and what to expect from him. Jen was excellent too! She was approachable and so sweet.”
“I started seeing Dr Elliott in March 2025. Dr Elliott asked questions and listened attentively about my health history. He advised that I have a sleep study done because he thought I had sleep apnea and also ordered labs. He diagnosed me correctly and also diagnosed my diabetes. Dr Elliott has made a huge impact on my life. He and I together set reasonable goals and I have lost close to 30lbs at this time. He guides and teaches me through my dietary needs and also has me see Marcus, a registered dietician, for more dietary options. Jennifer, who checks me in and out, getting my BP, weight, etc, is very sweet, kind and helpful. Everyone asks if I have any questions or concerns regarding my treatment. When you are there, they are totally focused on the patient and their needs! This clinic has changed my life in the best way!”
“If your serious about losing weight Obesity Medicine and Metabolic Wellness CENTER is the place to go. From the time you enter the office you are treated with respect. Jennifer will guide you through checking in and any other paper work that needs to be done. Great person. Dr Elliott is the real deal. He will work with you through your journey of losing weight. Dr Elliot has the knowledge and the resources to help you meet all your needs. This is no joke,follow his instructions you will lose weight. I came in with an open mind followed his guide line and lost 57lbs in 9mths and 5 inchs off waste line. A big thank you Dr Elliot and Jennifer for all the work you did. R Behnke”
“After my first appointment I feel very strongly of the center. It is clean and well maintained. Everyone was friendly and Dr. B makes it feel very lax. He does not push you too far but talks to you for long enough to get to know you. He does not make it seem like you are talking to a doctor, but more of a mentor. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me with his and the centers support!”
“My wife just began treatment at the West Branch location and I can't thank Alyssa Manry and Deanna Beebe enough. They went above and beyond and answered all our questions and guided us through the online ordering process and made sure we did everything correctly. Friendly, courteous service, we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Dr. Elliott listens and he doesn't judge! Meets you where you are at and helps to make small changes in your day to day so that you aren't overwhelmed with changes. I've had 3 different visits so far and over the past few months, I've already started to see positive changes in myself. Highly recommend!”
“Very clean and the doctor and nurses are amazing.”
“Working with Dr. Brandon Elliott and the staff Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Wellness Center has been one of the most life-changing decisions I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, I felt heard, supported, and truly understood—not just as a patient, but as a whole person. He took the time to listen to my story, my goals, and my struggles, and together we created a path forward that felt realistic, sustainable, and empowering. This journey hasn’t been easy, but Dr. Elliott never made me feel like I had to go through it alone. He celebrated every milestone with me—big or small—and recognized the hard work I was putting in, even on the days I didn’t see it myself. That kind of encouragement made all the difference. What stands out the most is how deeply he cares. His approach is grounded in both science and compassion. He sees beyond the numbers, always reminding me of how far I’ve come and helping me stay focused on where I want to go. Because of his guidance and support, my physical health, confidence, and overall wellbeing have completely transformed. I am so grateful to Dr. Elliott and the team at the Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Wellness Center. My life has changed in ways I never thought possible—and I truly owe that to their care, encouragement, and belief in me every step of the way. Today I’m celebrating being the healthiest I’ve ever been. Forty pounds lost and feeling the best I’ve ever felt ✨”
“Comprehensive care. No rushing through the visit. All questions answered.”
“I came to the wellness center after having bariatric surgery in April of 2023. Successfully losing 125 pounds I started struggling with “food noise” that was consuming my thoughts on a daily basis. After working through my primary care doctor and my bariatric team without getting much success or feeling like I was being heard I found Dr. Brandon Elliott. My first in person visit was the most stress free “doctors” appointment I’ve ever been too, he listened to me which made me feel heard and feel like he actually cared about my issues i had been experiencing. He helped me come up with a solution that tailored around my life, did not push anything on me and has offered me countless resources. I have had 3 follow ups with him and to say he has helped me change my life, is an understatement. If you’re on the fence, make the leap, you won’t regret it.”
“My experience is a little different. My family doctor prescribed the medication injections. With no knowledge of making healthy Life style choices, I ended up gaining all my weight back and then some due to not being on the injections. So I was referred here to learn how to make better choices in my eating habits and in my daily exercising habits. I have learned a lot of great things from the Saginaw location I highly recommend and praise them with my friends and co-workers. Also to add I am doing great and I feel great!”
“I started this journey very hesitant and didn't really think this like everything else wasn't really going to change anything. My A1c was 9.4 and struggled for 4 s years keeping my glucose under 200. I met with Dr Brandon around 3 months ago and my glucose is 116. He is not only knowledgeable but holds me accountable for what needs changed. We set obtainable goals and its not easy but he actually listens and gets to the root of what is needed. I have dropped 30 lbs and three inches . Im feeling better and for the first time in along time feel I am on the right path. I write this not only to give acknowledgement to the clinic but to encourage anyone who feels hopeless to give him a shot. I also have to give Jenny a huge shout out. She is always there to answer questions. This team is great.”
“Staff takes the time to learn about you and how you can work together to help you become successful with your goals. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable but do not make you feel that they are above you and take the time to explain why different things would work best for you as an individual not just as a number. A great place if you are ready to take a step into becoming the healthiest version of yourself.”
“Dr. B is kind and compassionate, while at the same time being very knowledgeable in metabolic health.Being referred to his clinic has helped me better understand how nutrition and different kinds of exercise affect my progress, and the needle is moving toward my goals. Highly recommend if you have struggled with weight loss.”
“Dr. Elliott and his staff are very kind and helpful. They are knowledgeable and care for my success. Their help has been crucial for me thus far. I also appreciate the onus they place on me as I am ultimately responsible for putting the 'plan' into action; however, they aren't rude about it.”
“I saw Dr Brandon Elliott at the Saginaw location after hearing a lot of good things about him. I live in Sanford but decided to go to Saginaw location because of what a good doctor he is - and I can honestly say I found that to be absolutely correct! Dr Elliott and Jennifer K, his MA, were absolutely wonderful!! From the moment I arrived in the warm and friendly office, I was greeted by Jennifer. She was kind and professional. She was very warm and friendly, making me feel that I was at home. Jennifer helped with sorting out my paperwork and insurance ahead of time so checking in was a smooth process. Dr. Elliot was awesome too! He spent an hour with me which is amazing to get an hour one on one with a doctor. After each question he asked me, he would follow up by explaining the importance of why he was asking. Such thorough discussion. I learned more from him in the one hour than I have ever learned from any healthcare provider about my health, eating habits, and nutrition. He put it all together for me and how food and weight is all connected to my overall health. I left feeling positive and informed. I understand what I need to do today to help avoid future illnesses. I have never had such a thorough and informative talk about my health. THIS type of help is what we are missing in today’s healthcare system. Jennifer made it easy to access and Dr Elliott made it easy to understand. I left with a health plan I can that is achievable. I already called back to ask some questions which I my call was attended to right away and had the answers in minutes. That is unheard of in most offices. I highly recommend Dr. Elliott! I am very grateful for his expertise and his care to honestly want to get me healthier as much as I do. I appreciate Jennifer being so knowledgeable and helpful. I am eager to take these next steps with them because they have earned my trust. Very impressed!!”
“Everyone was so kind. Jen was very welcoming and easy to talk to. Dr. B was so nice and was not judgmental. It was such a relief.”
“I’ve been wanting to make an appointment at the Obesity Medicine and Metabolic Wellness Center since they opened, but was so afraid to take that step. After hearing such great things about Dr. Elliott I decided it was time to finally do it. I am so happy I finally took action. Dr. Elliott and his medical assistant, Jennifer have been outstanding. They knew I was extremely nervous but were so nonjudgmental and reassuring. The plan that Dr. Elliott created for me is tailored to exactly what I need after extensive history and labs were taken. I finally feel like I have all the pieces to make my weight loss goals a success. Any questions I have had have been answered quickly and professionally by Jennifer, even if it was just something trivial. If you are interested and just can’t bring yourself to make that phone call, just do it. I’m so happy I FINALLY made this step towards a healthier future.”
“If you’re looking for Doctor who will listen to your concerns, help you develop a plan, and hold you accountable I cannot recommend Dr. Elliot enough. The staff in Saginaw is kind, accommodating, and will cheer you on the whole way. There are no quick fixes in health and nutrition- but if you’re willing to put in the work they will help you get there. In 6 months I was able to get my cholesterol to healthy levels (first time in 7 years!) and lose 31lbs through diet and exercise. 5 stars!”
“The nurse is very friendly and professional it's a great atmosphere very colorful doesn't feel like a doctor's office at all DR B is very intelligent,nice and honest it was all around a great experience would definitely recommend”
“I went to Dr. B for help with weight. I went in thinking that he would blow me off, as I only need to lose abt 19-20 lbs. It was the total opposite. He heard what I had to say, listened to me and made me feel validated. He was very thorough, and gave me information that was new to me. I have been fit for most of my life and never much over weight until 3 kids and menopause and a recent diagnosis of Hashimoto’s. And the weight just doesn’t come off easily. As soon as I lose, I hit a plateau. We came up with a plan and I was very excited abt what we were going to achieve together as a team. I like that I am not coming in, and leaving with meds and a hope and a prayer. “See you whenever” mentality, as it usually is. Instead I will be coming back in a couple of weeks and going over progress and moving forward, tweaking our plan for my weight-loss. His front desk person is kind personable and funny. You can tell that she enjoys what she does. Made me comfortable and again, validated. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for guidance and support for weight loss! Wether it’s a lot of weight or just some extra pounds, Dr B has great insight and is very supportive. You do have to want to do the work… and he seems the Dr that will help you however he can.”
“Everyone here is so incredibly supportive and knowledgeable”
“I had my first visit with Dr. Elliott (Dr. B) this past Friday. Starting with Jennifer at the front desk, every single person was kind and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. B entered the room and was very warm and kind. He asked me many many questions and explained everything in detail. Reviewed all previous lab work in detail. I have never had a physician spend an entire hour with me discussing my health, what I was looking for and details on how he would like us to move forward. If you're looking for a complete health change this is the place for you. No outrageous fads or gimmicks. Give them a shot, it may just change your life.”
“My first visit and I instantly feel like I'm in a good place and more importantly , the right place. Dr.B has a complete program that don't just include a weight loss but a lifestyle, physical and emotional wellness which I believe is fundamentally necessary to be able to achieve sucess in change!”
“Dr Teona and Dr B Elliot have been amazing. Treated with great respect and they want to help. They get it and don’t just say eat less and exercise more. They work with you where you’re at. I’m seeing great results and feeling better than I have in years.”

“I love this place! Fantastic help, great Dr, lots of good advice and knowledge for people looking to loose weight. I've struggled with weight since I was young and this place makes me feel normal for struggling and gives me a support system when I need it. My life has totally changed for the better since becoming a patient at the Obesity and Metabolic clinic. I would recommend anyone looking for a new healthier lifestyle and to maybe drop some weight and keep it off.”
“My initial consultation with Dr. Elliot was very detailed and thorough. The explanations given and alternatives offered gave me confidence that his plan was logical and doable.”
“I am an over the road semi truck driver that developed horrible eating habits. I gained 50 lbs in 4 years of driving andcwas sure that this occupation was going to kill me. I made a decision to make some changes. I can't say enough about Dr. B. He is genuinely concerned about your overall health. Since I've been under his care I have lost 23lbs and 3 inches and feel so much better. I am confident that by following his carefully calculated instructions that I will obtain my goal weight in no time. And I'm hoping that by making these changes to my eating habits that I may even eventually get off my blood pressure meds that I've been on for 30 years. Thank you so much!”
