Patient Testimonials

“Dr. Sanchez-Goettler was a tremendous help to me! I lost 22 pounds at 59 years of age, which I didn’t think was possible! I planned and cooked my own food, which was a huge win!”

“I am deeply grateful to Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler for her unwavering support, compassion, and belief in me throughout my weight loss journey. From the very first appointment, Dr. Sanchez-Goettler took the time to truly understand my goals, my struggles, and my fears. When I told her it felt impossible, she didn’t let me give up — she pushed me forward with kindness, strength, and determination. Her comprehensive approach — combining nutrition, exercise, and frequent body scans — gave me the structure I needed. But it was her encouragement, her faith in my potential, and her expert guidance that truly made the difference. Thanks to Dr. Sanchez-Goettler, I didn’t just meet my weight loss goals — I rediscovered a healthier, stronger, and more confident version of myself. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated partner on this journey. Thank you, Dr. Sanchez-Goettler, for believing in me and for helping me change my life.”

“Dr. Sanchez-Goettler was the support that I needed to start my journey into a new way of life. I started working with her in August. In that time, I’ve lost 70 pounds! Her dedication, support, and compassion to her clients surpasses most in her field. She and her team truly cares for her patients, and will do what it takes to help them succeed.”

“Before this journey, the weight had slowly crept on—partly from the chaos of perimenopause, chronic stress, long work hours, and years of being sleep-deprived. Like so many women, I kept pushing through, putting everyone else first, until I barely recognized myself in the mirror. Losing 50 pounds has changed everything. I have more energy, better mobility, and a renewed sense of confidence. I can hike, move freely, and finally fit into the jeans I’d tucked away, hoping someday would come. Through monthly visits with Dr. Sanchez Goettler and body composition scans, I stayed accountable and informed. I paired that guidance with personal training, a focus on strength, and strategic protein to protect my muscle mass along the way. Now, I show up as a whole new person—stronger, lighter, and fully present. This wasn’t just about weight loss. It was about reclaiming myself. I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Sanchez Goettler for being part of this transformation—for her steady support, thoughtful care, and belief in what was possible.”

Every time I meet with Dr. Sanchez, whether in person or on Zoom, it feels personal and supportive.

There were times when I’d think, ‘Oh no, I’ve gained weight—she’s going to be disappointed in me.’ But she never makes me feel that way. She always tells me, ‘You have to give yourself grace.’’

She has never once shamed me—whether I’ve gained or lost. She’s always been my biggest cheerleader.

I’ve always been told, ‘You have such a pretty face,’ like that’s the only thing worth complimenting. But with Dr. Sanchez, it’s different. She sees and supports the whole person.

I’m so grateful to be on this journey with her, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for real, compassionate support.

I had been losing weight for a while and things were moving along well. I wanted to make sure everything was on track, and I was doing things the ‘right way.’ That led me to Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler. She took the time to understand me, and my goals, and helped me exceed them. Us guys can have a hard time going to a doctor, but I’d say start with Leslie. If a 40-something dad like me can do it, you can too.

Radiance MD has truly been life-changing for me. After years of stress in my personal life, I had gained a significant amount of weight with no hope of losing it, despite all my efforts. A chance meeting with Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler turned everything around. She helped me discover effective ways to lose weight while staying motivated and encouraged. Dr. Sanchez-Goettler takes a genuine personal interest in her clients, building meaningful relationships and providing unwavering support in nutrition, fitness, and overall well-being.

“I was always the fat kid. The struggle with my weight has had a constant impact on my life. I have tried every diet or weight loss fad there has been. Low carbs, calorie count, weight watchers, gym memberships, I have done them all. I would always have a few weeks of positive movement but then I would stall out and eventually give up. Every time I felt like a failure. Day to day there was always something in my life impacted by my weight from not being able to keep up with the family on walks, frequent knee issues, not being able to go on all the rides on vacation and even being diagnosed with sleep apnea. 

When I was first referred to Dr. Sanchez-Goettler I was not expecting much as nothing had worked for me before. From the start working with Dr. Sanchez-Goettler was different. She has constantly worked with me to evolve a plan I can follow and have success with. from adjusting macros and calories to helping me connect with a behaviorist. For the first time in my life, I have had real positive movement and been able to maintain it. I no longer need a seat belt extender when I fly, I can buy clothes in normal department stores, and I even no longer need to use a CPAP machine! Even when I hit some plateaus, I have the support and knowledge to keep pushing forward. Everyone at Radiance has been so supportive and really helped me on my journey. I can not thank them enough for everything. “

“I had the opportunity to join Dr. Sanchez-Goettler to start my weight loss journey in December 2021.  Dr. Sanchez-Goettler is not only a wealth of knowledge in the field, but she also goes above and beyond with her dedication to the patient.  She is very caring, encouraging, and supportive, often with food suggestions, shopping lists, and meal ideas.  When you think you have hit a bump in your journey, she has a way of getting you right back on track!  She is compassionate, non-judgmental, and willing to talk through any questions or concerns that arise.  This means so much!   I can say that my 100+ pound weight loss so far has been thanks to Dr. Sanchez-Goettler.  I couldn’t have done it without her!”

“Having struggled with obesity myself, I wanted to share a personal recommendation for RadianceMD. They go beyond just setting you up with injectables. They are wanting to help you have continued success in your weight loss journey. I found Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler, friendly and knowledgeable, and was able to help me tremendously with my regain after weight loss surgery. I highly recommend booking a Discovery Call with RadianceMD’s Director of Operations, Shauna, at 971-432-6232. Don’t wait any longer to take that first step towards a healthier and happier you. “

“Dr. Sanchez, a gift in herself, gracefully dances, cajoles, and prompts you to discover your best self. Her professionalism and compassion, coupled with the understanding that results mean both health and joy, are reflected in her impressive credentials and degrees from prestigious universities. Dr. Sanchez consistently treats “all of me and all of my body. Traditional insurance often focuses on isolated medical issues, but Dr. Leslie Sanchez is the go-to choice for overall well-being.”

“I started working with her on my weight loss in April 2022. By the end of October I had lost 80 lbs. She started me on workouts while sitting in a chair holding light weighted dumbbells.  About July, I was holding heavier weights and also introduced an elastic band around my ankles. By this time I was doing some of my workout while standing and holding onto the back of the chair.  All of these workouts were on my tablet using ZOOM. It was way more fun working out with her over ZOOM than going to a gym.”

“She listened to what I wanted and what I didn’t want in my weight loss journey. I didn’t want surgery. I thought that people would judge me too much (in my family) for taking the easy way out. So talking to her about things we decided to go with some weight loss pills. She helped me every time that we met to talk about how things are going. She was so nice. I can’t say enough good things about how good she is at helping people talk through the weight loss options that are out there.”

“Dr. Sanchez-Goettler is a fabulous doctor and I’ve made incredible progress since October, under her care. I’ve lost 55 lbs! Unlike many other doctors, she took the time to realize my health condition – metabolic syndrome. Her ability to recognize this condition and develop a tailored plan, which includes weight loss medications, has been life-changing for me. The weight loss medication she prescribed has had no adverse effects, and more importantly, it has empowered me to make healthier dietary choices and establish improved eating habits.

It is through Dr. Sanchez-Goettler’s support that I now have the confidence to continue on this transformative journey. My goal of losing an additional 50 pounds feels entirely attainable, and I’ve already lost several clothing sizes!”

“I love Dr. Sanchez-Goettler. She’s always been very caring, supportive, and encouraging.”

“Dr. Sanchez-Goettler has been extremely helpful and encouraging in my journey to a healthier me. She provided me the tools needed to make informed decisions about my health. She always cheered me on, through the highs and the lows. She assured me that the journey isn’t measured by a setback but that each day is a new day and I could make better choices at any time. I’ve really appreciated having a professional in the bariatric field there to provide tools and support. She has been a true blessing to me on this journey.”

“It is through Dr. Sanchez-Goettler’s support that I now have the confidence to continue on this transformative journey. My goal of losing an additional 50 pounds feels entirely attainable, and I’ve already lost several clothing sizes! I’m very grateful!”

“I started working with Shauna to maintain my strength, flexibility, and stamina as I continue a busy work and performance schedule. She is my ideal personal trainer: skilled, knowledgeable, focused on my fitness goals, kind, and a lot of fun! I love her Zumba classes through RadianceMD™, too.”

I began my journey with the goal of losing some weight to become healthier and more active. I’ve been retired for ten years now and would love to travel more and visit my grandchildren in Texas. That’s when I heard about RadianceMD.

Dr. Sanchez-Goettler has been incredibly helpful in getting me set up with a personalized weight loss plan. They work with the new injectable medications while keeping your medical history at the forefront of your care.

Dr. Sanchez also walks you through exercises you can do as you lose weight to help you stay toned. She even uses a body scanner to track your progress, which really helps keep you motivated and excited about your results.

So far, I’ve lost a total of 20 pounds since starting my journey…
