I've been seeing Dr. Ronald Johnson in Fredericksburg, VA and this guy is AWESOME!!!!!! I have lost 36 lbs since 4/17/07 and it has been almost too easy. He has an office in Richmond, VA as well. The one in Fredericksburg is behind Mary Washington Hospital. I went from a size 18W to a 12 so far!

What are the phone numbers for these doctors and how much do they charge? I went to a weight loss Dr. in Maryland but it was too hard to get an appointment.

Hello,

Dr. Johnson's telephone number is 804.935.8905 and Evelyn Hall Harris' number is 804.323.5575. I have gone to both. I prefer Hall-Harris, who is actually a nurse practitioner. She focuses on your diet as well. Nothing against Dr. Johnson who is an extremely nice man!

Hope that helps!

Hello,
I'm interested in Dr Johnson's program...however is there a weight requirement prior to you getting the B12 injections?  I'm 4"10 and I weight too much for my height so I was curious to know that prior to making an appointment.

hi I actually work at Ms. Hall-Harris' doc. office in Petersburg where we have the program at and we also have a program in Richmond also but no there's no weight requirement to get on the program it's a medical program so you will get a full physical and blood work done and your urine will be checked weekly so the program is a good one I am currently on the program also. if you havve any ?'s please feel free to ask.

What dosage (mg or cc) does Dr. Johnson prescribed to you and how often does he require you to take them? Really this question goes to anyone even if you go to Dr. Hall-Harris.

Im interested in starting this weight loss program with the B12 shots. Is this very expensive at Dr. Hall-Harris office? I live in Colonial Heights I heard that it could be done but I thought it was only offered in Maryland.

I was a patient of Dr Johnson & yes he is indeed a great Dr but the office was always packed, how is it at Dr Harris office & what are her hours ?

I just saw Dr. Hall-Harris today in the Petersburg Office.   She is so wonderful!  The staff
were great and so helpful.  Their office is soon moving to Sycamore Street nearer the hospital.  The cost for the weightloss program is $400.00 and can be paid in full or in payments for the duration of the program.  I received a full physical, blood work, urine and an EKG.  Once this is completed you receive your B-12 injection and Dr. Hall-Harris explains what you must eat for the next two weeks, and as you progress other food items will be reintroduced.  What I found wonderful is that she can be contacted 24-7!  WOW!  The diet consists of eating two meals which ever ones you choose!  Each meal you must eat 4 oz of protein (chicken breasts, turkey breats, fish (no salmon), shrimp, crab or lobster, 1 cup of veggie (broccoli, cabbage...) choice of an apple, orange or 6 strawberries or 10 grapes.  You can use the fruit for breakfast to make it three meals if you like.   You MUST MUST MUST drink 64oz of water (water assists in losing fat from your body).    I hope everyone tries this, I believe it will help anyone who really tries.

I have used Dr Johnson and he is good.  I lost weight but the drive from Northern Virginia to Fredricksburg is too far with the gas prices rising.  Do anyone know of another doctor in the Woodbridge Area?

No I don't but when I see Miss Hall-Harris this wednesday, I'll ask if she does.

i just stared to day and iam excited to c results

by new2richmond, Jun 03, 2008 07:46AM
I moved to Richmond from VA Beach. I had a doctor down there that would
prescribe me phentermine. It is not worth the drive with gas prices to drive down there anymore.
I have tried the numbers for Dr. Ron Johnson (934-8905) but
the number is disconnected. Does he still have a office in Richmond? Does anyone
know of another doctor in Richmond for weightloss?
Thank you
