Scottsdale Weight Loss Center

Where Medical Expertise Meets Real Results

Tried every diet out there? You’re not alone—and you’re not the problem. At Scottsdale Weight Loss Center (SWLC), we understand that lasting weight loss isn’t about willpower—it’s about getting the right kind of support. Our team of obesity-trained medical clinicians helps people finally lose the weight—and keep it off—with proven tools and personalized care. With four Valley locations and thousands of success stories, we make it easier to start your healthiest chapter yet.”

Founded in 2006 by Craig Primack, MD, and Robert Ziltzer, MD, SWLC was born from a realization that the conventional model of primary care wasn’t solving one of the country’s most urgent health problems: obesity. “We were stuck in a cycle—seeing patients every few months just to refill blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol medications,” recalls Dr. Ziltzer. “We knew we needed a better way. That better way is weight loss.”

Today, SWLC is led by a highly trained team that includes Dr. John de Guzman, Diana Bone, FNP-C, Jillian Swope, FNP-C, and Kimberly Roberts, FNP-C—all dedicated solely to helping people lose weight using evidence-based medicine and personalized treatment plans. No aesthetics. No hormone therapy. Just weight loss.

“We treat your weight as the chronic medical condition it is,” explains Dr. Primack. “Weight loss used to be considered something you had to do alone—self-help books, diets, willpower. Now, with modern medications, high-protein nutrition plans, and expert guidance, we’re helping more people than ever succeed.”

One of SWLC’s most popular offerings is their 20-week Jumpstart program, a comprehensive plan that combines medication (including modern weight loss medications like Ozempic® and Zepbound®), meal replacements, movement instruction, and education. Patients who complete the Jumpstart program often continue in long-term support plans designed to maintain weight loss with ongoing support that keeps you motivated without the pressure.

“Many come to us frustrated after spending thousands on plans that didn’t last,” Kimberly Roberts, FNP-C shares.

What makes SWLC stand out in a saturated market? Individualization. “No two patients are the same,” adds Dr. de Guzman. “Some struggle with mobility. Some have underlying health issues. Others have lost weight before but can’t keep it off. We tailor everything—nutrition, medication, coaching—to each person.”

That personalized care is the reason why SWLC continues to grow, with thousands of patients seeing transformative results. “Seeing someone fit into clothes they haven’t worn in 10 years, regain energy, or enjoy activity again—that’s what keeps us going,” Dr. Ziltzer shares.
