"I absolutely recommend! The Facility is beautiful. I did my homework on the types of laser lipo treatments in the area for about 3 weeks. I also worked for a plastic surgeon for a year so I knew my options! Sarasota laser lipo was by far the best out of all the research I had obtained on other machines and facilities.

Maryann is amazing and always so helpful and kind. She's been a blessing the whole step of the way! Dr. Rodriguez is extremely helpful and has his patients best interest in mind. He not only wants you to succeed but wants to help you feel and look your best! I am so glad after much research I chose Laser Lipo for my Journey!

UPDATE: After week 3 I lost 24 inches!!! Don't hesitate on doing something for yourself and loving you again. That is by far so important and my reason for doing this! I had lost close to 100 lbs over the last couple years and I had loose skin and no matter what I was doing it wasn't going away. I also had areas of fat that were still there from when I was heavier.. I notice a HUGE difference and so does my family. I can't wait to see what happens next!"

"I came to Sarasota Laser Lipo, as what I called my last hope at losing weight. In the past several years I had tried different plans and diets, only to fail. I do public speaking and dread each time I would have to speak. I would go to my closet to find the baggiest shirt and a pair of pants I could wear and still breathe. After 4 weeks I was down 20 pounds and had a glimmer of hope. After 6 weeks I put on a pair of shorts I hadn't worn in 8 years. I'm tossing away clothes and buying shorts that don't fall off when I wear them. I'm healthier, I have more energy and I'm not ashamed to go out in public. I have a speaking engagement coming up and I'm looking forward to wearing fashionable clothes. And after 10 weeks, I'm down 41 pounds and 154" overall. I went from a 42" waist to 36"' waist. Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann offer invaluable advice and constant encouragement throughout the process."

"I have struggled with my midsection my entire adult life. I could never get that "chiseled" look no matter what I tried and who I talked to. I lettered in two Varsity sports in high school and if not for a knee injury, would have played football at the collegiate level. Looking back, I never got the "WHY" something did or did not work and usually it was a one size fits all approach no matter what trainer or coach I spoke with over the years. Once I started to get more and more financially stable, I looked into a variety of approaches, even the invasive "six pack ab" procedure which would have cost me over 5k. I settled on cool sculpting two years ago and the results were still at best. I have consulted with Sonobello, Celebrity Trainers, Vshred, you name it I have likely spoken too or attempted it. Nothing worked. That is until I met Dr. Rodriguez at Sarasota Laser & Lipo. A couple things stood out immediately upon my arrival. I met with him and not a sales associate that had no background or degree in what they were talking about. I was not asked for my credit card or told of some new promotion they were doing. He wanted to get to know ME first and what my issues were and my lifestyle, to determine if he could even take me as a client. I was amazed with his knowledge and his ability to very quickly explain the "WHY" of why I was not seeing results. It turns out, foods and drinks I thought were healthy, were doing nothing more than hiding my abs from me. 9 days in and 7lbs of lost weight later, my abs look better than my Varsity football days, all with a simple approach. I look forward to seeing what the future brings!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Ian Rodriquez of Sarasota Laser Lipo if you are serious about losing weight and trimming inches. For years, I tried almost every diet/weight loss program and gimmick out there and while I would lose weight in the beginning, it never lasted. My weight was constantly ping ponging. FaceBook led me to Sarasota Laser Lipo and in February I started this laser red light therapy together with their sensible diet plan. The Laser Lipo treatments are pain-free; non-invasive; and require no downtime, unlike a “tummy tuck” which I was seriously considering. Their food plan starts out with a detox together with a regime of vitamins and herbal supplements - not “quick fix” drugs or diet pills. My initial skepticism dissipated after seeing results after my first treatment. Both Dr. Rodriquez and his assistant, Maryanne, are supportive, encouraging and most knowledgeable about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While I started to drop the pounds, I also started to feel better and have more energy. In 3 weeks, I lost 6 pounds and 26.9 inches overall. I only wish I would have found them ten years ago!"

"I could not have asked for a better experience than the one I had here. Doc and Maryann are amazing! They are the best cheerleaders you could ask for and are so extremely supportive. They were always available to answer my questions and would even check in with me on the weekends. Every time I went into the office they made me feel like a million bucks and we're always excited to celebrate my progress with me. Their Facebook page has lots of great information and recipes too. They also work with you if you have certain things that are important to you or changes that you can't make and will adjust the plan as needed. I lost 17 pounds and 74 inches in 60 days and feel like a completely different person. I went down 3 dress sizes. I have continued to follow the guidelines that they gave me and continue to lose weight (and they continue to cheer me on). I really cannot stress enough what a wonderful experience I had with them and how strongly I would recommend them. Not only did they change my body, but they changed my mind and my habits and boosted my confidence higher than it has been in a long time. Give them a shot and I know that they will change your life too just like they did mine."

"I decided after fifteen years of spending thousands in supplements, magic potions, private gym instructors, and only accomplishing pure disappointment with the results, there has to be a better way. I was tired of having the dad's body, which I was not comfortable looking at myself. My clothes were getting tighter, and my closet hosted sizes to accommodate this. Starting this program only three weeks ago, I see more progress than I saw in fifteen years of every diet imaginable. My clothes fit loosely, and I am getting what I missed as a young man a waist! My energy level, attitude, and health, per my doctors, are outstanding. I feel proud and like looking in the mirror now; seeing this journey is the right track. I wish I would have known fifteen years ago because I would save myself a lot of pain and money! Thank you, Dr. Rodriguez, MaryAnn, and Sarasota Laser Lipo. Extremely Grateful, Ralph Russell Sarasota, FL".

"After coming in for a free consultation a little over 5 weeks ago, I made a decision to give this treatment a try. Hands down, THE BEST experience, and the office staff are great!! The results for me were beyond my expectations. I am extremely happy with my overall treatment. I have been feeling better about my appearance, my skin looks great and the best part of all is the fact I have lost a total of 46 inches and over 10 lbs in 5 weeks. I have now disciplined myself into continuing down this same healthy path. Without Sarasota Laser Lipo I would not have gotten here. Before them, I had no motivation or discipline. A huge thank you to Maryann and Dr. R. When I first decided to start this program I went in with an open mind and not too many expectations. It’s one thing to lose weight but it’s another to lose inches along with body fat- it’s a hard task. Two weeks into my treatment I have lost 7 lbs and over 24 inches all around. I was amazed by my results in just 2 weeks. I feel and look great, my clothes are starting to fit nice again and most of all I feel healthier and energized. The overall experience at the clinic is excellent. Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann are awesome. Dr. R would share the facts of the treatment and what you can expect in the process. After receiving my results in only 2 weeks I am very pleased. My takeaway this far is that this program/treatment and their entire process works great collectively. I can’t wait to see my next results. I am happy and grateful for Sarasota Laser Lipo."

"This is a sincere note to anyone committed to changing their lifestyle. IF you are ready to seriously commit to getting control of your health then you have found the ultimate solution. The current mindset of the medical community is to manage your health as it declines. Stop it!! Get in front of being healthy. I fully support Sarasota Laser Lipo as their program and personal interest help energize you and continues to motivate you to succeed. I am halfway through my program and my results are pretty amazing: 14 pounds and 36 inches so far. HOWEVER, most important, I have started detoxing my system and will confirm my progress with a full blood panel in January with the ultimate goal of getting off prescribed medication for sugar and Blood pressure. If you are committed and want a program that will change your life forever, then go no further, welcome home."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about every aspect of this procedure/plan and Team. Being someone whos tried MANY things to change my life for the healthier, Sarasota Laser Lipo Family has been the best experience of them all. Where to start. The environment is so relaxing and inviting. I couldn't ask for a more supportive and patient staff. Dr. Rodriguez is truly understanding of his patients needs for assurance, while still keeping us accountable. Maryann is so personable and encouraging. She makes me feel welcome and supported during a sensitive time. The Procedure and the Equipment is incredible. It is furthest from invasive, it is like a spa day. The laser treatment is warming and combine that with the setting it's easy to forget this is a medical procedure. I have had great results. ( accidentally wore my daughter's jeans and didn't know it)."

"Huge skeptic over here, that has seen the light (pun intended). 22 inches are gone from my body in a month (8 treatments) I could have done better but I have had a lot going on. My advice, follow the plan and drink water. I slipped up a lot and had very little exercise and still fit in jeans that I haven’t worn in six years! That’s winning. You won’t find a more honest group of people who really just want you to feel good about yourself and help you to your goals. It’s the easiest thing to do, go relax for 30 minutes with no pain, no downtime but actual visible results. Dr. Rodriquez and Mary Ann are amazing. I drive an hour for the treatment twice a week because it’s worth it. The office is clean, easy to find location. There are other places in the area but I did my research and found that during my consultation there was no BS. Dr. Rodriquez was honest, no nonsense. The price is affordable and worth every penny. When your doing the treatment it feels like laying on the beach, nice and warm. Mary Ann has some nice music to help you relax too. Give it a try, you can’t go wrong with a consultation. You’ll thank me later."

"For several years my weight has been a steady increase. (A lot due to stress, life changes, female issues and a decrease in metabolism but with a denial that I can’t eat like I did when I was 20). On May 11th – as Dr. Rodriquez gently gave me my weight and numbers – I finally clued in that I was in a health crisis. I weighed a little over 202 lbs, I'm under 5ft tall, and all my weight is pretty much carried in the middle. I had trouble tying my shoes! My visceral fat was double the norm – all my numbers were high and my numbers for fat in my blood were not just in the red but placed me in line for a heart attack or diabetes in the making. I signed up that day! Dr. Rodriguez has been amazing. He listens- takes the time to adjust the program as needed – he is encouraging, and Mary is an absolute gem. I love the light therapy treatments and feel energized after each session. I have noticed more energy and clarity in my thoughts. My activity level has increased and things are not as difficult. Less than a month later, I WEIGHED IN AT 187 LBS!!! I LOST 15.2 LBS – A TOTAL OF 47 INCHES THROUGH OUT MY BODY!!! I was ecstatic! More importantly all my numbers across the board decreased – even the % of fat in my blood! Say it with me…. "WOW"!!!! I feel healthier than I did a month ago…others around me are seeing a difference…. I have hope for my future. I know with Sarasota Laser Lipo, I can reach the numbers that I should have for my age and height. All I can say is, thank you Dr. Rodriguez…. thank you, Maryann …. thank you Sarasota Laser Lipo!!!! This has been a life altering decision and one of the best ones I have made in my lifetime. I hope for anyone reading this review if you get anything from what I have shared, please know a change in eating habits may seem difficult at first, but not impossible and with Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann in your corner this is just a walk in the park."

"I don’t know where to start. I’ve tried “crash dieting" a few years ago and lost a lot of weight but then gained it all back a few months ago. I have decided to make some true changes in my life, so when I heard about this treatment, I have decided to give it a try and I’m SO THRILLED THAT I DID. From my first contact with Mariann and my first consultation with Dr. Rodriguez, I felt valued and I knew I would be supported in every step of the program and I was RIGHT. This program CHANGED MY LIFE... I’m losing inches and pounds... I feel so much better mentally and physically... have so much energy and I'm making healthy choices every single day. I joined the gym for the FIRST TIME in my life. Mariann is professional and so sweet with a great personality. She always greets you with a smile and makes me feel so wonderful every time I see her :) Dr. Rodriguez is AMAZING... so knowledgeable and walks you step-by-step. He takes the time to listen to you and supports you in every possible way to reach your goals. He’s always available for you as well. I just can’t say enough about this clinic and the staff. All I can say is THANK YOU! If I can give (11) STARS, I would!! This is the best thing I ever did to change my life ... and if you are serious about changing your life, don’t wait another day".

"I started this journey being very skeptical as I’m sure most people are. I started five weeks ago and have lost a total of 35.5 inches overall and 20 pounds. Since December, I have tried to lose weight every way possible with no results. Since I started this program, I have more energy, more brain clarity, my cravings have completely changed to things that are good for me and it didn’t take much more than seeing day-by-day results with the program!!! I have failed every diet that I have been on. I'm so incredibly motivated and I will shamefully admit that I have cheated a few times, but it did not affect me as bad as I would have thought. (I am not encouraging that however). I haven't felt this great in years. I can’t wait to see the end results at the final five weeks of the program. Not only is it non-invasive, but as I lose weight... my skin and cellulite are also shrinking with this non- surgical program!!! My original goal at the end of this 10-week program was to wear a two-piece bathing suit. I'm five weeks in and I’m already wearing one!!!"

- Ms. A​​​​​​​

"I must admit I was very skeptical about the laser lipo program so I brought my husband to my consultation for moral support! The consultation was so informative that we both decided to give the program a try! In 12 weeks I have lost 78 inches and 22 pounds and I feel great! My husband has one more session and then he will know his results. We have learned sooooo much about eating foods that benefit our bodies, minds, and well being and we feel confident that we will continue the good eating habits we have learned. Dr. Rodrigues and Maryann are genuine people that truly care about their patients, I would highly recommend them and this program!"

"After having three kids, I found myself hiding in my husband’s clothing. Didn’t want to go places, never looking in the mirror. I was exercising and eating pretty good and drinking water but I wasn’t losing weight. I’m 35 years old with three little ones, I wanted to be the best version of me but I knew I wasn’t bc of how I felt. My sister-in law had a tummy tuck after three kids and I saw the amount of pain she was in after and how long her recovery time was and I didn’t want to go through that. So I found Sarasota Laser Lipo and Dr. Rodriguez has changed my life. Half way through the program I was down 15 +pounds and 46.2 inches, no longer hiding in my husband’s clothes. I don’t wake up tired anymore just feel amazing inside and out. I am just about done the program and already back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I am so happy I found this place my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner."

"I accidentally came across Sarasota Laser Lipo while looking for a Liposuction Dr… I really didn’t want surgery so when I read they offered a non-surgical natural and healthy way to lose fat it caught my attention. A free consultation was offered and I took it.. boy am I glad I did..Yay!!! Life changer! I went to my appointment very skeptical but after listening and seeing testimonies of successful patients I jumped right in. Only 2 1/2 weeks later I lost 31.3 inches and 14 lbs! I felt so good..my skin looked better ..my fibromyalgia and my back pain calmed down from my Red / green light session..my inflammation and stress levels improved greatly and I now sleep better..my current measurement showed I lost 60.2 inches and 18 lbs.. such an incredible feeling..Dr Rodrigues and MaryAnn are absolutely the best! Very caring and accommodating.. they take the time to explain everything in detail.. I highly recommend them."

- Shirl S

"My experience was amazing! I may be one of the younger clienteles that did the program, but they did not treat me any different. Everyone was super nice and supportive. I would recommend my 18 year old cousins to my 75 year old grandma. Also my uncles and grandpa! They treat you well and they know how important patient-doctor relationship is. As for the results, life changing! I look AND FEEL a difference. All I can say is if you’re considering a need for a big push into the the right direction in your health and life style, then give Sarasota Laser Lipo a try."​​​​​​​

"At 62, I have spent the last 15 years struggling with gradual weight gain, and physical health issues. I have tried every known diet and exercise regime without great success. For the last seven years my life was slipping slowly down a dangerous hole of more doctors appointments, more medications, and more physical limitations. I was depressed. After seeing an advertisement for Sarasota Laser Lipo, I made an appointment and met with Dr. Rodriquez for a free consultation. It was clear to me during our meeting that Dr. Rodriguez is very knowledgeable about Red Light Therapy, and invested in helping people reach their health goals. I knew when I left our meeting that I was responsible for my health, but now I had a chance at something that could work if I followed the plan. Within the first two weeks I started seeing the weight coming off. I’m writing this at 10 weeks, (actually 8 weeks/treatments, I was on vacation for 2 of the 10 weeks) I’ve lost 87.4 inches overall, and an amazing 30 lbs of fat. The combination of the treatment, and the health plan Dr. Rodriguez put together has given me my life back! It really is that simple. I'm already off two major medications. I have so much energy, I’m not in pain anymore, I sleep better, and I’m still losing fat. This has been life changing for me, and I could not be happier with the continued results."

"Not even sure where to start on writing this review, so I will just jump in by saying I am in "ahh" with Sarasota Laser Lipo! I teamed up with Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann on this journey to better the internal part of me that would eventually yield a new outer me. I am in the phase of life where I found it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy weight no matter what I tried. After getting lab results from my primary doctor that I am pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, overweight and the list goes on of what comes with those risk factors, I knew it was time for a lifestyle change. I researched several places and found Dr. Rodriguez who not only changed my life, but he made me realize that this is a life style change for the better. I started this journey Dec 2, 2021, today is Jan 5, 2022 and in only 4 weeks I have lost 15 lbs and lost 155 inches overall! I know some may think this can't be real or not possible, but I am a real person who followed the program and it has and is still working for me! Everyone will have different results I am sure, as we are not all made the same, however for me this was a game changer and more than life changing that has put me on a path to a better way of living my life. I am forever grateful for Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann for their superb professionalism, their level of support and for just being real people. Hope this review helps inspire others to believe in themselves to become disciplined enough to make a better change in life for you, as you deserve it as much as I do. Thank you again Dr. Rodriguez and MaryAnn!!"

"I have been trying to lose weight for a long time, i am 5’1 and weighted 184lbs. I would purchase any app that provides any suggestions on losing weight when you are menopausal, but nothing worked. I even consider weight loss surgery. Then I saw a commercial about laser lipo, so I looked it up and I liked what I read. I started to look for a place close to where I live and found Sarasota Laser Lipo. I was sold when I met with Dr Ihan, his treatment plan was what I needed. I am now 4 week and I have loss a total of 73.7 overall and 13lbs. I am so happy and very motivated. I have learned so much about the food we eat and their effects on the body and I plan to continue this journey until my goal is reached and beyond"

"Dr. Rodriguez, of the Sarasota Laser Lipo, helped save my life. I was at a point where nothing would work, so many yo-yo diets and whole 30 with nothing changing in the weight. Instead it seemed like one bite and I’d balloon 10 lbs. I was so discouraged as I was so successful with many other things but could not get the scale to move. It played in my mind, caused major depression and I wanted to throw in the towel. The only thing I had on my side was my persistent asking “WHY”. Why is my weight going up 10 lbs when I only eat egg for breakfast, salad at lunch and chicken for dinner? None of the doctors at home could help me. Then we came to Sarasota, and Lori’s friend was talking about how she had done cold sculpting. I started to research it along with other drug free and non invasive options. I thought maybe if I tried a doctor here, I’d get a different & fresh perspective. That’s when I came across Sarasota Laser Lipo—online Google. I called them and talked with MaryAnn. She told me a little about their process being non invasive, No medications, and I immediately made my personal appointment for 2/24. Knowing that this was my last straw. Lori didn’t at first believe it because she read “Laser and Lipo” in their company name. She kindly offered to come with me and hear what was to be said. She was genuinely concerned about my health. She knew what I was eating as we were eating many meals together. The weekend before my appointment we went to Shore Restaurant in St Armand’s. Lori’s friend who shared the cold sculpting was with us. While having cocktails, we met two couples and we were talking about motorcycles and cars with them. We never exchanged names, just friendly nod goodbye. We left and went home. Next, it was Wednesday, my appointment day. Both Lori and I went together. We met with Dr. Rodriguez. He was very nice and listened attentively. I was talking about the foods I ate, the exercise I did, and one diagnose in California where I had been told I had hyperthyroidism. I explained my reluctance to medications and then Lori went to speak about her daughter having the same issues. At this moment, the Doctor put his reading glasses down on the desk and said “ I need to ask you ladies something, were you at Shore Restaurant this weekend talking to my friend about his motorcycle?” At this moment, chills went through my body. I knew we were with the right person to help me! I signed up for the program and did exactly what Dr. Rodriguez told me. I’m down 341 inches and 70 lbs. my life has changed drastically thanks to Lori, and Dr Rodriguez. Everything has changed, I feel like my old self and I’m forever grateful to them. Dr. Rodriguez’s program works and it’s easy to set up appointments with MaryAnn, the office manager. She is super friendly and helps you with any issues or concerns."

"I am super excited to find this place that helps me lose weight naturally, healthy, and without surgery. These people are very professional and are in contact with you all the time for any questions and follow-ups. I am so happy that I decided to register with Sarasota Laser Lipo and with more strength and a positive attitude I will achieve my goal. My inches and weight at the beginning were 250lbs, I have lost 46.5 inches and 8.6lbs in less than 3 weeks! Dr. Rodríguez and Maryann and the work team are great. Sarasota Laser Lipo is amazing!! I recommend them 100%! "

"After trying multiple weight loss/health programs with mixed results, I finally found Sarasota laser Lipo at the beginning of April. I am 5‘6“ and begin my journey at 154 pounds, so I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose. But I had a lot of flab that I wanted to shed, which I’ve never been able to get rid of with any other program. The program at SLL sounded like it might work, so I decided to give it a try. I began with modest expectations but was determined to give it 100% effort. The program is very structured, which I think it makes it easier to stick to. It has been just over one month, my daughter, coworker and several friends have commented on my figure and weight loss. My daughter is an athlete and has seen many iterations of my diet results; she commented that it not only looked like I had lost weight, but I looked “svelte.” Furthermore, my results are tangible, in that I can fit into the smaller size clothes in my closet(my “skinny jeans “ if you will.) my skin also looks significantly better. Lol I already knew I was happy with the results, I got a bonus recently which inspired this review: Sarasota laser weighed and measured me to check my progress, and so far I have lost 10 pounds and 32.5 inches overall AND my body fat is steadily decreasing!!! Five stars for Sarasota Laser Lipo!!!"​​​​​​​

- Nancy O​​​​​​​

"Just completed my first 12 weeks, lost 110 over all and 20 lbs. The program was easy to understand and follow. Dr. Rodriguez, Maryann and Cindy were great. Communiication and support, just awesome. I had tried to loose weight for a while and nothing was really working. I ran n work out daily but the pounds weren't coming off, which gets harder with age. But I was thrilled to see the scale showing new results. Love to see my old self in the mirror and fitting back in some of my favorite clothes. Very happy with the results."

I started this journey Feb 18th and I have to say I have lost 20lb already and 78 since I was younger I have tried so many diets I have found this one to be extremely easy and quick results. If you are tired of fighting give this try. I love it and the people who are making it possible very nice . New -update 4/7/22 Just went for my weight and measurements what an awesome report I am down 31 lbs and 128.2 inches can't believe this love the results you gotta try it. 7 week so far wow boom!"

"I was fed up with my extra weight and having tried every fad keto pill, drops, and shakes I researched and found sarasota laser Lipo . I have been doing the program for about one month now with incredible results! It’s not only the visible fat, but all fat in general that can lead to health conditions. They are focused on your total health, not just your visible appearance, which as it turns out is a super bonus! Knowing I am losing weight safely and learning better eating habits is changing my life, I am so excited to continue my journey and reach my goals."

"I struggled with persistent weight gain for years. Numerous diets, increasing amounts of exercise and various weight-loss programs did not produce any results. Tired of the continuous feeling of being bloated; struggling with achy joints and sore knees; and especially the need to continually buy additional clothing in larger sizes with a style that hid my weight gain, I decided to do more research on new weight loss treatments and procedures. Through this investigation I found Sarasota Laser Lipo. Dr. Rodriguez’s approach to weight loss is transformative. If you commit to the 12 week program and follow his diet plan combined with red light therapy you’ll be delighted with the results. After 18 days I have lost 14 pounds and 39 inches! Can’t wait until I see the outcome after 12 weeks!"
-Susan S.

I came in at 238 pounds with high blood pressure, stage 3 kidney disease,cancer and Fibromyalgia with extreme pain and exhaustion that kept me pretty much homebound and depressed. I felt absolutely hopeless at this point and thought “ is this how the rest of my life is going to be at 66 years old”? I saw the commercial for Sarasota Laser Lipo and went to their web page to read what it was about. A friend of mine told me about laser light therapy and that it works. This is red and green light therapy and reviews were great and I had nothing to lose! But I did lose!!…17 pounds and 52 inches in under a month… no more gastric reflux, my blood pressure went down and my Fibromyalgia is gone and my cancer is stabilized. The pain and exhaustion are gone!! I started to exercise again, I can go out now and plan a day out. I have new eating habits and I am Happy Again!! It is now 5 weeks into my program and I am 22 pound lighter. Dr. Rodriquez and his staff are amazing and I love going. I highly recommend them…This changed my life!

"I would highly recommend Sarasota Laser Lipo. Dr. Rodríguez and his staff are all very professional. The office is very clean and appointments are handled very efficiently. So far, I have lost 13 pounds and 60 inches. I already feel so much better. If you are looking to become healthier, Dr. Rodriguez will provide you with expert advice on how to accomplish your goal by following his program."

"My wife and I have had exceptional results with Sarasota Laser Lipo (SLL.) Their program really works, and if your goal is to succeed you definitely will. I'm a male in my late 60's currently 23 lbs. down from where I started. Over the past few months I've lost 71.6 total inches and now, incredibly, I'm down to just 15% body fat. I'm actually trim! Health-wise my total cholesterol has come down 46 points and most of that from reduced LDL, yes, the bad kind! (My doctor had been threatening to put me on medication to bring that number down. She was very pleased and amazed at these results, so, no meds for me!) The team at SLL is very supportive and encouraging. If you follow their uncomplicated program it does not take long to see actual results. I recently had to cut 4" off one of my favorite belts which was both mildly annoying and highly satisfying at the same time; a gratifying rite of passage of sorts. If you are looking to make improvements to your overall health, reduce inches, lower your weight and improve your quality of life Sarasota Laser Lipo can get you there. And if you're reading reviews like this it's probably time to get started. You won't be disappointed."

"I am so thankful for Sarasota Laser Lipo. They are Amazing! I started my journey with them exactly 8 weeks ago. I have lost 49.1 inches and have gone from a tight fitting woman's size 16 to a loose 12!!!. That was including a week long vacation of fun in Vegas!!! I am feeling great and it's just the beginning!"

"I was a little skeptical at first, and thought this was too good to be true. I started on November 2. I have lost 24 pounds and my pants are starting to fall off of me. I will try on my jeans that used to be tighter on me soon! This was even during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I am glad that Iinvested in this program!!!

"Dr. Rodriguez and his staff were amazing. I began my health journey 10 months ago. I have lost 40 pounds and 142 inches. It's been a joy to have to alter my clothing (and even buy new ones)! Not only that but I have been re-evaluated and do not have sleep apnea anymore, after using a C-PAP machine for the last 5 years. I have tried almost every weight loss program except for surgical intervention over the past 30 years. The education and encouragement I received from Dr. Rodriguez has made all the difference in my life! Thank you Dr., Mary Ann and Cindy!"

"Entering the office of Sarasota Laser Lipo is a unique experience. The office is bright and cheery. The office staff is warm and greeting to all, existing clients and prospective new clients. So helpful and attentive to the needs of each client. First meeting of Dr. Rodriguez, concern for the client's well being is quite apparent. The Dr. is a good listener and offers opinions and comments relative to the client's success. Afterwards, Dr. Rodriquez reviews his plan approach for each client's personal betterment. In addition, the Dr. is proud to show the various equipment used in the client's treatment. After agreement to the Dr.'s plan for me, I found each step of the plan easy to follow, and didn't leave me starved for the carbs and sugars that I once craved. Success in only 4 weeks, I lost 33.9 inches and 12 lbs of fat! Additionally, I lost 2 inches on my waist size which allowed to get back into my clothes with ease. My personal self feels great and my work-outs now feel special to me. More importantly, I have decreased my need for gastritis meds and feel so much better. Looking forward to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and better kidney functioning at my next blood panel assessment with my physician. Thank You Sarasota Laser Lipo!"

"I am so happy that my husband and I decided to sign up on August 22, 2023 with Sarasota Laser Lipo. Prior to joining my husband and I were working out and killing ourselves at the gym over five days a week. We reached a plateau and no matter what we did we were unable to lose weight or body fat. We both thought we knew what clean eating was and had no idea what that truly meant until meeting with Dr. Rodriguez. Since we have been in this program we have both experienced amazing results without having to kill ourselves at the gym. Both of us have lost a considerable amount of inches and body fat in only four weeks so far. Dr. Rodriguez and Maryann are very supportive and have always been able to respond to our questions immediately. This is a real program with real people that really care about us and our progress. We feel so much better and healthier and look forward to continuing to achieve our health goals with complete confidence because we know this program truly works. We can’t thank Dr. Rodriguez and all the staff enough and we highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez with Sarasota Laser Lipo to anyone looking for a real opportunity to not only lose weight but to be able to keep it off and feel better and healthier. Thank you, Judy and Blaine"

"Amazing! This is the one program that actually really works. I am thrilled by my early results three weeks in - I’ve lost a total of 41 inches overall and I’m down 8 lbs in just a short time. The tightest clothes I’ve ever worn and owned are actually loose (after only 3 weeks in!). Everything that Dr. Rodriguez and his staff (the lovely and caring duo of Cindy and Mary) have put into this program is sustainable, easy, and not at all restrictive. I’m doing this program without going through any invasive surgery, without taking harmful medications or injections with nasty side effects, without killing myself at the gym, and without the mentally frustrating guess work of “will this even work?”. The technology that they have works on reducing pain, inflammation, and bad fat. The body scanner they use takes away any subjectivity and measurement bias, so the results are objective and quantified. They provided me with an app that makes it easy for me to track my progress. The absolutely best part? I’m back to being healthy. I have more energy, I’m not in pain, I sleep so much better and deeper, my skin is tight and glowing, and my body looks toned from the inside out. With this program, I will continue to get healthier, shrink in inches, and lose unhealthy fat - and not gain it back! Health is wealth, and this program sets you up for success if you trust in it, show up for your treatments, and follow the plan. Highly recommended!"

"Update: I just spent 7 weeks in New Jersey. Came back and my totals are 111.7” lost and 25 pounds down. I feel like a better, different person. Life is good. I could not have done this without Sarasota laser and lipo’s program. I’m down 3 sizes. Yay. Big thank you.

Nine days in and I’m 25.5 inches smaller and 4 pounds lighter and have more energy and clarity. I lost what you see in this picture. Absolutely Amazing. I researched lots of options and am so pleased that I’m now working with the outstanding team at Sarasota Laser and Lipo. Everyone is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and energizing. The program is not as hard as I thought it would be. Technology is state of the art. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next few months and beyond. Life is great."

"I found this place while searching for regular lipo and was intrigued with the amazing reviews for weight loss. I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did. I just completed an 8 week program and lost 12 lbs and 36 inches. I consider myself a very health conscious person. I workout weekly and I also eat clean and eat low carb but nothing helped the scale move. Not only do I feel great, I went down 2 pant sizes, and I also learned so much about what I was not doing right and much of it involved the time I was eating. Additionally, the red light therapy helped me with a lot of other issues I was having. I can definitely see how many inches I lost around my mid section. I feel smaller. I still have more to go to reach my goal size, but the knowledge I gained from this program will help me get there and I will never go back to the way I was before or my old habits. My husband sort of followed the program with me for support as well, and he lost more weight than I did. The staff and doctor are all so very nice, truly caring, and supportive. This is not just a weight loss program, it is also an educational program for a healthier lifestyle. Investing in your health is always a good investment and this program is definitely worth it!"

"Reached my weight loss goal on December 23 and have been able to maintain so far with lifestyle changes! I have lost over 20lbs. and 100 inches. BMI and Body Fat now in a healthy range. My sizes went from 8-10 to 2-4! My old pants were literally falling off! I feel so much better and truly didn't even realize how uncomfortable I was previously. The pooch is gone which I never thought possible. Love Dr. R and the staff. I will update as the journey continues."

"From my first interaction to my most recent at Sarasota Laser Lipo, the experience has been exceptional in every aspect. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a team that is genuinely friendly and kind. Dr. Rodriguez ensures that each experience is informative, comfortable, and encouraging. The whole staff cultivates an atmosphere of ease and relaxation.

I was initially uncertain as to what to expect from the experience, however I am overwhelmingly pleased with the entire process so far. Remarkably, only three weeks into the program, I was astonished to see nearly 10 pounds and 34” completely disappear from my body overall. As a person with a small frame, the loss is astonishing. To paint a picture of this loss, I have a favorite pair of jeans that I could not button by about four inches and only 21 days later I am able to button and zip them completely. The transformation has significantly boosted my self-confidence. I feel mentally clearer, more optimistic, and am eager to continue implementing all I have learned into a sustainable, positive lifestyle change.

The entire experience at Sarasota Laser Lipo is profoundly contributing to both my physical health and mental wellbeing and I look forward to the continued success it provides in my holistic healing journey."

"Dr. Rodriguez really knows his stuff! I have struggled to get the weight off and keep it off. With his expertise, I have lost over 60inches of fat off my body in 7 weeks! I am energized, confident, and amazed with how my body looks. My skin is glowing, my dresses hug in all the right places, and I can finally wear a small shirt for the first time in 9 years. I am down 3 pant sizes! I am wearing tank tops that I've never worn before because I hated my arms. Now I feel like a small and petite woman. Trust in his process, listen to him, and stick to the plan he will customize specifically for you, and you'll see results. His staff is also amazing. They are so down to earth, eager to help, and so supportive. I've learned so much about how to just be healthy, and everything started falling into place. I'm so glad I made the leap to do this. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Now I get to live a long and healthy life with my family."

"I have been with them for a very short time and I cannot believe the amount of weight that I lost in such a short time and continue to do so, Dr. Rodriguez delivers what he says. I was down 18.5 lbs right before the month was over, all my clothes are falling off now. I'm losing roughly 3 to 4 lbs per week. I took the initiative and stopped by for information, and clear as day, it was all planned out for me, Dr. Rodriguez is smart and helps me get to my goal. I am feeling much better, so much energy, my co-workers and family noticed my weight loss. I plan to follow the plan to the T and I won't fall off, not anymore, this is for me and my aim to get healthy and live longer. Furthermore, the cute gorgeous, sweet, kind staff he has always greets you with a smile and are there for further questions and share stories, thank you girls and thank you Dr. Rodriguez. I want to share my journey and be thankful that I stumbled onto this program, it can work on anybody. Give them a ring, stop by, tell them what you want and they will help you, like they did me. :)"

In the past, I have tried many different diet programs and weight loss treatments. I decided at my age, I needed to make a solid effort to get the weight off for health reasons. I stumbled across Sarasota Laser Lipo and Dr. Rodriguez, while I was in Florida. I started the program and lost 24 pounds and a total of 30 inches in the first month. I am continuing to lose weight each week by sticking to the program that was suggested I follow.

I’ve struggled with weight issues since I was a child and this is the first time that I am noticing a continual weight loss. In addition to the the weight and inches I have lost, I feel better, I move quicker and get around more easily, and my arthritic joints, such as my knees and ankles do not hurt as much. I travel a lot for business, and I have also noticed that getting around the airports and the hotels is much easier as well.

I also want to give shout out to the office staff. They could not be nicer or more accommodating.

I would highly recommend Dr. R and Sarasota Laser Lipo to anyone considering a diet program who has struggled with weight issue, for their piece of mind or anyone who needs to lose weight for health or medical reasons.

"Hi to all! I have always been a yo-yo dieter for most of my adult years and had been successful when I tried. The last few years, not so much. A belly that I have never had (regardless of when I was heavier) , every diet on the market, yes even Alli and not one pound loss. I went back to my tried and true- WW...nothing. I started looking into invasive procedures (which would have meant using savings) because I was desperate. I realized I needed a change in my eating habits, traditional surgery was not the answer and I NEEDED professional help. YAY for SARASOTA LASER LIPO, Dr. Rodriguez, Cindy and Maryann. I've lost 62.8 inches and 16 pounds since August 15. PLUS, I lost 7.5% Body Fat, and Reversed my Body Age from 54 to 48 years old!! This is because of them, I couldn't have done this without the 3 of them. No drugs, no surgeries, yummy shakes, health supplements (not the crazy diet kind) and REAL food. All at a fraction of the cost I would have spent for surgery. Surgery would NOT have changed my eating habits or provided the education I needed...Thank you, Dr. Rodriguez, Cindy and Maryann❣️​​​​​​​"

"Finding Sarasota Laser Lipo was the absolute best thing that has happened to me in my health journey over the last 4 years. I had tried so many things to shed the postmenopausal weight gain and belly fat and NOTHING worked! I have always eaten clean and healthy and exercised but, for whatever reason, I continued to gain weight no matter what I did. From keto to paleo to intermittent fasting and hormone replacement, nothing changed and I was miserable..

Fast forward to today, I am feeling better than I have in years! All thanks to Sarasota Laser Lipo. Their custom designed program worked what I consider to be a miracle for me physically. After 8 weeks I have lost a total of nearly 80 inches, I am down 20 lbs and I have lost nearly 4% body fat. My energy levels have skyrocketed, my sleep is the best its been in many years, and I feel and look younger! This is the only place I know of that provides honest and genuine results for anyone looking to improve their overall health, reduce body fat, shed inches, lose weight, improve energy and improve sleep! All of that AND anti-aging with 100% natural, noninvasive methods!

I can't thank Dr. Rodriguez and his team enough for everything they have done to help me achieve such incredible results! I finally feel and look like myself again! Sarasota Laser Lipo is simply the best and more!"

In my opinion, Dr. Rodriquez uses the most high tech equipment to aid with weight loss, also he provides a customized eating plan. I’d gained and lost with other diets, but the tips he provided will become lifelong habits Since 10-24-24, I lost 17 lbs, 45.2 inches and 5.1% of my body fat. The doctor and his staff are friendly, helpful and supportive. I recommend his services.

Hey all, just wanted to post an update to my initial review. Well, I can hardly believe the additional fat and weight loss I have achieved since my last review and initial visit in October 2024. The decision I made to go to Sarasota Laser Lipo & Wellness Center is literally the BEST decision I have made in my life for my health and definitely one of the BEST decisions I have made in my life overall. This morning I reached my weight goal and I have shed all the miserable post-menopausal weight to the tune of 25 pounds, and I have lost 126 inches! That equates to around 4 dress sizes! My clothes that had become too small for me are now too big, LOL. Shopping spree time :) I am now free from the dangers of visceral fat, having reduced my total body fat by 7.9% and reversed my body age from 56 to 43!

Dr. Rodriguez and his staff are truly wonderful and I am so very thankful for them and their program at Sarasota Laser Lipo. The laser treatments are relaxing, energizing and anti-aging. This is a drug-free program and a completely natural, lasting transformation. I honestly cannot recommend Sarasota Laser Lipo & Wellness Center nearly enough to anyone who wants to improve their health naturally by changing their lifestyle and following the plan as prescribed by Dr. Rodriguez. I consider it a miracle after my previous doctors having told me I would likely never reach my weight goal of 125 lbs., and just continued to put my body through a constant roller coastal of hormones and thyroid medication which, clearly, my body did not respond to in a positive way. Needless to say I ditched all of that and followed Dr. Rodriguez's personalized plan without expensive medications, etc. and it worked! And I believe with all my heart that any one who truly puts in the effort and does their part it will work for them as well!

Here's to being healthy and feeling amazing again! Thank you so, so much Dr. Rodriguez, Mary and Cynthia for all you do! I wish you nothing but continued success and abundant blessings as you continue to help and bless others in their journey to health!

"I have been doing Sarasota Laser Lipo's food plan for exactly one month and have lost 17 pounds. I am just thrilled and relieved to be achieving insulin resistance reversal, and I am now off of insulin and glyberide. I now take half as much metformin compared to when I started. Learning to control diabetes and/or get rid of it via a food plan is my dream come true. I tried so hard on my own to read up on how to do it but always failed without support. Weekly camaraderie with staff and Dr. Rodriguez, who have also been available by phone to me all along, has made all the difference. I previously tried Weight Watchers, Optifast, Optavia, but had either no success or temporary success. I am pretty darned sure that the food plan I have learned at Sarasota Laser Lipo is going to work for me for the rest of my life. By the way, testing showed that in the first month of efforts, I have taken off 3 years of body age. Under no other program have I ever been able to stop drinking diet soda. Well, I'm off diet soda after 39 and 1/2 years of it. Finally. My mind feels so good, I have so much energy, and I already have so much more fun being at my daughter and son-in-law's house when I help with my grandchild. I realized that I don't think about getting up--no! I now spring out of my chair before everyone else and pitch in and life is fun. The crippling pain of inflamation/arthritis has disappeared from my hip joints. Thank you so much."
