Bioidentical Hormones Testimonials
If not for Dr. Adams and Chad I would still be just existing. They listen and take how you feel in consideration (you’re not just numbers on a page from blood work). I have struggled for years to find someone who listens. On top of all that Dave can always find my vein with ease and make me comfortable while having blood drawn. Top notch team!

I am so glad I found Madison Family Care! I have been feeling bad for years and have been to several doctors and no one had ever been able to find out what was wrong with me until Dr. Adams. He seems to genuinely care about his patients overall wellbeing. The nurses and staff are wonderful, and scheduling appointments has been very quick and easy. I will definitely recommend Madison Family Care to all my family and friends!

Dr. Gilliam PA-C is fantastic. He mixes western medicine with nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and alternative treatments, and achieves fantastic results. It seems he wants to help your body heal itself and stay healthy, rather than to just treat symptoms or a specific condition. I like that he explains what the different supplements do, and that he spends a good amount of time with each patient. I keep going back, take my kids there for second opinions and alternative options, and recommend them to family and friends.

This is the first place in years of dealing with a messed-up thyroid (and extremely sick the last 2 years) that has done the proper blood work to show what is going on with my body and health. Chad Gilliam and the nurses have saved my life. Still a work in progress, but I have hope. It’s a terrible feeling to know you are sick and every doctor tells you that nothing is wrong. Thank you, Madison Family Care./p>

Cannot even begin to tell you how impressed I am with Dr. Ligon and her staff. All the way from the front desk to the back of the office, nursing staff, and especially the doctors (Dr. Burrell and Ligon are AMAZING), they are just wonderful. I had been to 2 other doctors prior to finally landing an appointment with Dr. Ligon’s office. With the other 2 doctor visits, when I KNEW something was wrong with my body, I was simply told there wasn’t anything wrong, just that my BP was elevated. My symptoms continued and only got worse.
From the moment I met with Dr. Ligon, she was very concerned about my BP and thyroid complaints + symptoms. She did several tests, blood draws and ultrasounds and was able to give me a firm diagnosis. She is thorough, makes sure you don’t have any questions and you understand everything, has an excellent bedside manner. She’s treating me with exceptional care & I could not be happier with her being my PCP. Jennifer, her nurse, is an angel and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Do yourself and your health a huge favor and schedule an appointment with Dr. Ligon!

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Dagstani’s expertise with Female Hormones. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is very new to me; however these last 5 months with the pellets have saved my life. My husband of over 40 years passed away recently and my depression was awful. Now that my thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone are at levels in my youth I feel like living again. I have more energy, my skin is no longer dry and my smile is big. I sleep better and have lost some weight. My coping skills have been enhanced and I’m functioning better.
I’m interested in people again and even feel like dating, the right man of course. You make it so easy with just a series of blood tests and the pellet is painless!

Hormone pellets are a life saver! Before getting pellets, I suffered from fatigue, lack of mental focus, and poor muscle tone (no matter how hard I worked out at the gym, I was still flabby!). Within a few weeks of getting my first pellets, all of my symptoms dissipated. No longer do I struggle to make it through the day with eight hours of sleep; now I feel energetic with only six to seven hours of sleep! No longer do I struggle to remember the basics; now I can juggle multiple mental tasks at the same time! No longer do I feel like I am fighting a losing battle with my body at the gym; now I enjoy the rewards of my efforts! I couldn’t do without my pellets!

I have been using bio-identical hormone pellets for 5 years. I had severe menopause symptoms that were continually getting worse. I had tried so many different types of hormone replacement therapies and nothing worked, until I found out about the bio-identical hormone pellets. Within a week, I could already see and feel the difference. It relieved every symptom that I had and has continued to give me total relief for 5 years. It changed my life, for the better, in so many different ways. My sisters, mother, and cousins were so impressed by the change they saw in me, and now they all use these pellets and feel the difference in their lives.
– S.N.C.
Previously I’ve used creams (messy and always guessing where I rubbed it last) and patches (would rub off from clothes/beds) – but even then, my emotions were raw and tears would fall… until receiving bio-identical pellets. The difference was unbelievable! It didn’t matter how far I had to travel to receive the pellets: hours away to Scottsdale, Chandler, Cottonwood… but, now to be able to drive practically next door to Dr Dagstani’s office in Payson is truly a treat!
– Kathy Brunson
“Dr. Psenka, Thank you for all your invaluable advice! You gave me hope in a world full of medicines and gnarly side effects. I felt so much relief after talking with you. Now I know why Mom raves about you. Thanks again!”

“Dr. Tamburri, after your presentation, examination and discussion, I knew I was in the right place to take care of my concerns. Your vast knowledge in this complex pathology influenced my understanding of your functional approach to treating the root cause of the problems and not just the symptoms. You have raised the medical profession to an all time high. My wife and I thank Longevity Medical Health Center, Dr. Tamburri, and your staff for treating us so well.”

“Dr. Marchese is great, and her staff too. I was a bit of a needy patient and they were very cooperative and caring.
Dr. Marchese went out of her way to make sure I was getting the best care, including calling me at home. Cannot speak highly enough of her.
I was so irritable and mean with PMS, my family could hardly stand me during the last 2 weeks of my cycle… until my hormone balancing treatments at Water’s Edge Clinic.
– L.W.
All of my consulting with other medical professionals had not helped my worsening problem with perimenopausal symptoms. I felt terrible, with PMS 3 weeks every month. After working with the team at Water’s Edge, I now have peaceful cycles with no severe mood swings and my energy is great! It is the best I have felt for years!!
– N.L.G.
I was tired and agitated with strange symptoms, plus carpal tunnel, which my medical doctor told me, it would take months and months to go away. Within 2 weeks of starting the Water’s Edge program, all my symptoms were gone. This process will radically change your life for the better!
– P.M.
I had been experiencing this illness for over 10 years. After 3 months of care at Water’s Edge, I was very pleased with the improvements in my health. I would recommend them to anyone I know. They have one of the most comprehensive approaches I have seen and they follow up very closely on symptoms and treatment.
– J.O.
Within the first 3 weeks of starting with Water’s Edge Clinic, I’ve had no more symptoms, my energy level is up, and I am able to sleep better than ever. I cannot recommend them highly enough. This program has done more in this short period than I ever expected.
– A.N.
I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. After 3 miscarriages and a year of fertility drug treatment, we had all but given up. My personalized metabolic cleanse process and natural hormone therapy was just what we needed to conceive and progress normally through this pregnancy. Thank you for your nurturing care!

Dr. Holly Lucille was recommended to me from a doctoral student at Bastyr University. I was told she was the go-to Naturopathic Doctor in Los Angeles. I was suffering from massive amounts of hair loss and a rash on my face. It was frightening, to say the least. I had sought out a ND in northern California who was unable to help my condition after I had spent nearly $1000 out of pocket. I decided to turn to a conventional MD specialist after nearly a year of struggling with the condition and trying everything. My condition puzzled that specialist, as well and he sent me away with a glorified prescription “selsum blue” type shampoo. Finally, when I moved to L.A. I gave Dr. Lucille a call. She ran every test on me including a stool sample, and didn’t add an extra fee on the lab tests, which is common for MD’s to do. She was also the first doctor who was confident she could heal me. She nailed the source of my condition, and treated me accordingly. I noticed my hair loss ceasing almost immediately followed by my rash clearing up! Dr. Lucille is smart, confident in her and I highly recommend her. I am just grateful I have her to turn to from now on.

When I first came to Dr. Lucille I was simply exhausted. I was in my early thirties I felt as if my bodies was a hundred. I needed help! After listening, asking questions and a few tests Dr. Lucille discovered the culprit was my adrenal glands! Who knew such a small thing played such a big role. I can gladly say today I feel healthy and strong.
I exercise, eat well, and I maintain my adrenals. Thank you Dr. Lucille! Dr. Lucille offers an approach different than any one else. She listened, she asked and together we came up with a lifestyle I could sustain. My body thanks her everyday.

Several years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes and since the early 90’s I have been on high blood pressure medicine. However, instead of feeling better with the medication I was given to help control these things, I continued having issues with my blood work, fatigue and blood pressure. Every time I went to the doctor all I was told was that there was nothing wrong and that I just needed to diet and exercise. Well, no matter how much I did that I continued to have issues. Finally I was given Dr. Lucille’s name and number and made an appointment. She immediately did a battery of simple tests and found the cause of most of my issues. The reason for my not feeling well was due to an overall imbalance in my system and through diligent visits, vitamins and supplements; I was finally getting consistantly improved blood work and improved health. Through Dr. Lucille’s meticulous care, I was able to get back my health and my feeling of well-being. When you are a patient of Dr. Lucille – you get very personalized care and attention. You don’t get the one-size-fits-all answers you normally do with doctors. She takes the time to look at everything about you from head to toe to figure out what you need in order to feel right. I can truly say that if it weren’t for my getting under Dr. Lucille’s care, I would be in very bad state with my health. I would recommend her to anyone very highly.
– Anna B.
I struggled for so long with thinking there was something wrong with me as I hit my late 50’s. I was tired, had little interest in sex and just felt overall awful. When I heard about Dr. Lucille, and learned more about my overall health and what I could do to feel better… I was amazed. It took me longer than running to the pharmacy and picking up a prescription, but this approach actually works!! My whole life has changed and I couldn’t be happier.
– Don M.
The hot flashes were making me miserable, not to mention the fatigue and weight gain. I really thought I had tried everything including hormone replacement therapy and natural supplements…but I had no idea what I was doing. After working with Dr. Lucille’s principles, I felt like I was informed and empowered and had control over my life again. I feel excellent, and I thank her so much for teaching me about who I am and how I can be well!
– Bernadette P.
I was given a book by a friend that was written by Dr Holly Lucille, called “Creating and Maintaining Balance: A Women’s Guide to Safe, Natural, Hormone Health”. I was only into the first chapter and was already like, “Oh my god, that is my body to a tee…I have that symptom and that symptom!” Everything she says make so much sense. I have started taking a product she recommends—one that helps remove the extra estrogen that your body stores in your fat cells—and it has helped me lose weight, along with a healthy diet and exercise. I’ve lost 11 pounds in the past few months and my body has REALLY toned up!

“Around 2003 I was diagnosed with RAI due to Grave’s Disease. For about 10 years I had been increasing my dosages of synthetic thyroid medication, and had visited five different doctors in an attempt to find relief to my growing symptoms. I felt defeated and disappointed. Many of these doctors would refuse my request to try natural porcine-derived thyroid replacement to relieve my symptoms.
I found Dr. Bogema, and my very first visit to her office I felt elated! She showed me a chart of Synthetic vs. Natural Thyroid Medication, and I felt relieved knowing that she had the knowledge I needed to relieve my symptoms. I received my very first trial of Compounded Nature thyroid. I was amazed by my body’s reaction. It has now been several months and I am feeling optimal on the compounded T3/T4 medication. It has been a team effort of Dr. Bogema and I working together to care for my adrenals, supplement support for the numerous deficiencies, making good nutritional decisions, and better exercise choices. Above all, it is encouraging to find a doctor that listens to the needs of my body and knows what it takes to get me back to 100%. I would recommend Dr. Bogema every time!”
– Cathy
When I first came to see Dr. Bogema I knew I was ready to crack – at least that is the way I was feeling. I had just lost my dad to cancer. The emotional struggle of watching my father decline and pass, the physical exhaustion of caring for him, and working full time during this process had taken their toll on me. My cognitive function wasn’t functioning, my short term memory was in serious decline, and sleep was only something I dreamed about – that is if I could sleep long enough to dream. I knew something was seriously wrong but just thought it was exhaustion. Six months later nothing was improving.
While searching for a doctor, I made an appointment with Dr. Bogema to see how she practiced medicine. I knew I needed help, but dreaded the usual “here’s a prescription for this and let’s try some anti-depressants for that because… why not!” I watched my dad die a horrible death and I am watching my mother live a horrible life to bad health and a multitude of prescription drugs, and I knew I didn’t want either option for my destiny.
After thorough blood tests, and Dr. Bogema’s tremendous knowledge and guidance, we came up with a supplement and bio-identical hormone plan that has changed my life! I’m back!! I have my brain back, I am sleeping, and feel better than I have in over a decade. Good Bye to a multitude of symptoms that I just thought was a normal part of aging. Though we are still tweaking things a bit here and a bit there, I am so addicted to feeling wonderful that I am willing to put forth the effort and patience to be hormonally balanced and healthy. I am so happy, lucky, and blessed to have found Dr. Bogema! Her advice, knowledge, and guidance is irreplaceable. I also value the book recommendations that she provides so I can educate myself on my health. After my dad, Dr. Bogema is my hero.

Mary Ann started seeing me when I was desperate to regulate my hormones. I was swollen, lethargic, suffered from insomnia and overall exhaustion. She is the first practitioner to sit down and talk to me. She didn’t stare at the computer or judge me. She listened. She didn’t throw medication at me, she came up with a plan. Within a month, people started telling me I looked great. (The swelling was subsiding). Though I am not a hundred percent yet, I am making progress. She has encouraged me to change the way I think about food as well as my health. I wish more doctors practiced like Mary Ann does. She is an asset to the profession and a necessity to her patients.

Dr. Lee was recommended to me by a close friend so when the need arose, I made an appointment to see him. After my examination, he took the time to listen to my concerns and to answer my questions. I was really impressed. I have not had a physician since I moved to LA nearly 15 years ago, but I am happy to say I do now. Highly recommended…
I just walked out of my doctor appointment with Dr. Lee. I decided to write a review as I’m sitting here in my car. After searching for months for the right doctor to answer all my questions I found Dr. Lee. I don’t know where to begin. From the moment I called to make an appointment the staff was very professional, super nice, and answered all my questions. I was even able to take care of the paperwork before my appointment. When I got to the office I only waited 15 minutes before seeing the doctor. Dr. Lee made me feel very comfortable. He was very professional and he answered all of my questions and found a solution to all of my worries he took his time, didn’t rush me one bit… I will be taking my teenage son to see Dr. Lee as well Thank you, Dr. Lee and staff!
I am eternally grateful for Dr. Breen. Once he optimized my hormone levels it was like I got my life back. At 55 years old, my mood improved, my sex life returned and I had energy to give to my family again. I realized it wasn’t a red corvette I needed, it was testosterone and thyroid!
Three years ago I met Dr. Breen at a seminar provided by my gym. He gave an insightful presentation on how hormones, eating correctly, and taking the right supplements can play a huge role in your fitness goals. I first sent my husband to see Dr. Breen due to his lack of energy and general issues associated with being in your late 40’s. His General Practitioner told him that all of his levels were “normal.” Personally, I don’t think being on the low end of the spectrum is considered normal. His overall health and stamina is amazing since becoming a patient.
After seeing the positive changes in my husband, I too decided I would get checked out my Dr. Breen. After discovering some thyroid issues, my energy, physical performance, and leanness are where they should be. Dr. Breen’s personal program has helped me to make gains in the gym (I’m a cross-fitter), help me with my eating habits, and my overall health. Dr. Breen has an amazing bedside manner. He actually listens when you talk to him, he remembers things you’ve said in past appointments, and genuinely cares about your health. His goal is to have each of their patients at their optimum levels. Regardless of your age (I’m 34 and my husband is 50) – Dr. Breen can help to fine tune your health goals. My husband and I are both in the best shapes of our lives, physically and internally, and that’s all thanks to Dr. Breen.

This review is long overdue. I’ve been seeing Dr. Breen just under a year and I wanted to wait until I had been under his care long enough to give a full review. When I came to Dr. Breen I had low energy, was extremely overweight and just felt horrible. After a comprehensive battery of blood tests and over a two hour review with the doctor I was devastated at how I had let myself go. Based on the tests I was well on my way to an early heart attack. I’m not even 35 yet, so needless to say it was extremely scary to hear that I was in such poor health. Dr. Breen immediately told me what I needed to do to get back to a healthy weight and lower my risk of a heart attack.
He put me on a bunch of supplements, got my hormone levels in check and gave me a nutrition and exercise plan that has worked beyond my expectations! It’s been less than a year and I feel like a brand new person, I have energy to play with my kids and I feel great. I’ve lost over 50 pounds and can now wear a size 30 waist! I went from over 40 percent body fat down to 13 percent! When I had questions for the doctor he was always accessible and even lets you text him on his personal cell after hours. This is true concierge service. I can’t thank Dr. Breen and his team enough for all they have done for me. My wife was so thrilled will my results she has now gone to see him as well. Thanks Dr. Breen for giving me my life back!
– Jamie M.
Dr Breen has a very specialized practice. To get a doctor who thinks outside of the box and who is personally avalable to you 24/7 it can be expected to pay a little more. Also insurance fails to cover preventative and anti aging type of care. I am an RN and personally have been in dr breen’s program and have has excellent results. I look and feel better and I am very thankful for doctors like Dr Breen. If you’re having issues with hormone balance or weight gain or really any type of health issue it would certainly be worth giving dr breen a try.

Now that I am in my 40’s, a friend recommended Dr. Rajguru after his own wonderful experience. While I felt the symptoms of low Testosterone, my doctor tested my blood and found that my levels were low but in the normal range. He told me that a normal level meant that I don’t need treatment with testosterone. I also wanted to talk with Dr. Rajguru concerning my lack of energy. We also discussed my weight gain, lack of exercise and even my ‘lazy’ diet that was full of processed, packaged foods. He started me on a treatment plan that started working right away. He told me that an optimal Testosterone level is the level you have when you are in your early twenties and that I would benefit greatly from treatment.
I also found out that my lack of energy was related to my low levels of Thyroid Hormone and my excessive caffeine intake. After quitting caffeine, and starting on the hormone and supplement program he prescribed, I have now lost 35 pounds of excess fat and gained 15 pounds of muscle. My body fat percentage dropped from 22% to 12%. My renewed energy has me exercising regularly, and eating better. I feel again like I did for most of my adult life, active, energetic, enthusiastic and even sleeping better at night. It now seems difficult to remember what ‘getting old’ felt like those years.
It has been a little over a year now with Dr. Rajguru, and I’m grateful for how it has improved every aspect of my health and even my relationship with my family. We have kids on the younger side, so to have this enthusiasm again to give to my wife and children, to match their energy levels, and to be a role model again for a healthy lifestyle is a welcome improvement for everyone.
I was having problems getting a good nights sleep. I consider myself to be a healthy active person. I eat a healthy diet and exercise daily. My family doctor checked my Testosterone level after I urged him to do so and it came back low. She was reluctant to start me Testosterone, but I convinced her to do so. My initial results were great. I slept like a baby. I also had more energy, increased sex drive, and great workouts. A short while later all of the benefits started to disappear and my doctor didn’t have a solution for me.

I wanted to see someone who specializes in low Testosterone so I made an appointment with Dr. Rajguru. He retested me and told me that my estrogen level was too high and that it was competing with the Testosterone I was taking. He adjusted my dose and how I injected the Testosterone. He also prescribed what I needed to reduce my estrogen levels.Now, I am sleeping well again and feeling the full benefits of Testosterone (which are great).

Symptoms including, exhaustion, weight gain, mood swings, stress, acne and being on an emotional roller coaster affect your life and more importantly your relationships with family, friends and co-workers. After suffering with these things for years, my sister suggested I make an appointment with Dr. Maki and see if my hormones were out of balance. After some testing Dr. Maki prescribed the hormones I needed. In just four weeks I noticed how much better I was feeling, my hair, nails and skin were so much improved along with my mood swings, anxiety and tearfulness. I have been using the bio-identical hormones for over a year now and couldn’t be happier with the results. I now feel like I have my life back and I am feeling the way I know I should. If you are suffering with any of these symptoms, feeling unwell or just not like yourself call Dr. Maki for an appointment. You will be so happy you did.
– Deborah S.
I initially sought Dr. Maki’s help for menopause symptoms and after having had my hormone levels tested and being prescribed bio identical hormone replacement, my symptoms have entirely alleviated. Dr. Maki has also helped me with food and environmental allergies, and anxiety. Aside from being on excellent physician, Dr. Maki is extremely intuitive. She is a true healer.

He retested me and told me that my estrogen level was too high and that it was competing with the Testosterone I was taking. He adjusted my dose and how I injected the Testosterone. He also prescribed what I needed to reduce my estrogen levels. Now, I am sleeping well again and feeling the full benefits of Testosterone (which are great).

As Linda M. stated below, Dr. Harris is an amazing doctor. She really listens to you and your concerns, and extremely knowledgeable in women’s health issues. I am so grateful I found her! She has got me back on track with my hormones and I have never felt better. I highly recommend her!

Your search for the right doctor is over. Look no further than Dr. Robin Bernhoft. He is intelligent and compassionate with substantial credentials and experience that include graduating cum laude from Harvard University and Past President of The American Academy of Environmental Medicine. He is completely patient oriented. I totally agree with his effective philosophy of “treating the whole patient with an integrative science based approach.” Dr. Bernhoft is the future of medicine… today. Dr. Bernhoft focused immediately on the underlying causes of my ailments with laser precision. I’m talking about getting down to the genetic level through necessary diagnostic testing. After all, what’s more important than living healthy and well? And all of this seemed as if it were part of a routine day for Dr. Bernhoft. It was. Some doctors are uneasy with a patient who researches and ask many questions about their condition. Dr. Bernhoft encourages patients to become knowledgeable and gladly answers any questions.
As I’ve been happily continuing with my treatments, I’ve met many of his other patients who have told me about their success with Dr. Bernhoft’s recommended treatments. It is not uncommon to hear from his other patients that Dr. Bernhoft has brought them back. “I had one foot in the grave,” I’ve heard more than once. As a side note, while at his center, it was a miracle to see one of Dr. Bernhoft patients, an autistic child, coming out of a lifetime of silence! This child’s freedom from autism was one of many similar results in this office. Finally his friendly staff feels more like your friends. You will see what I mean when you come in for your visit. You’ll be glad that you did.

Before coming to see Dr. Sarah I felt like I had been going through menopause for the past eight years. I was having hot flashes almost every hour and would have to change my clothes which would become drenched in sweat at least 3 times every night. I was so emotional, I would cry during commercials on the television. For 8 years I had felt like I was in someone else’s body. Working with Dr. Sarah has changed my life. She is so compassionate and passionate about everything she does. She always takes the time to teach me what is going on in my body, and I feel empowered because I can actually understand what is going on with my hormones. She put me on Bioidentical Hormone Therapy along with some female balancing nutrients and herbs and I feel like I did ten years ago. I finally feel like me again.

I went to see Dr. Rothman because I had almost no energy. I was depending on coffee and energy drinks to get through the day and I had an extremely difficult time waking up in the mornings. Dr. Rothman was very thorough at our first appointment, asking me tons of questions about my lifestyle, work demands, etc. She helped me to brainstorm ways to improve my nutrition and cut back on my bad habits a little at a time. She prescribed a couple of herbs and supplements that helped me a lot. Within a month or two, my energy levels had doubled and I did not need the energy drinks I had been depending on. I am sleeping better and it is easier to get up in the mornings. I have more consistent energy throughout the day, instead of highs and lows. Since that initial treatment, I have seen Dr. Rothman for a couple other medical problems. In each case, she was able to deduce the problem and provide simple, inexpensive treatments that worked well. I am very thankful to have met Dr. Rothman and will happily continue seeing her for my routine medical needs.
– Lynn A.
Dr Rothman is not only a knowledgeable professional, she’s compassionate and takes all the time needed to get to know you and any issues you may have. She’s addressed any health concerns I have, offered all the alternatives for treatment, and supported me when I needed to deal with medical doctors, too. I highly recommend her, as a person, and as a naturopathic doctor.
– Susan D.
Dr. Sarah is truly one of a kind. She knows just the right questions to ask and carefully listens to your answers with sincere concern and patience. My health has improved greatly over this past year because of her. Never in my life have I looked forward to going to a doctor’s appointment as I do when my appointment is with Dr. Sarah because I know I will be well taken care of. Thank you Dr. Sarah.
– Josie D.
Dr. Rothman is wonderful. I am new to naturopathic medicine, and Dr. Rothman is a patient resource. She is knowledgeable and has helpful and specific recommendations on ways to improve my diet and general health. What sets her apart is her sensitivity to her patients’ needs — Dr. Rothman is generous with her time, always willing to listen and respond to my questions. She is a great asset to the Pacifica community. I am so glad there is a naturopath here!

Dr. Rothman has been an amazing help to me. I was experiencing consistently low body temperature, increasing inability to lose weight without extreme dieting, and my periods had stopped for over a year. According to my GP, this was all part of menopause and a sluggish thyroid (due to menopause). But the thyroid wasn’t bad enough to treat. Any other symptoms were written off as menopause. Since I also had a growth on my thyroid, I decided to see an endocrinologist. Since the growth had “only” increased 1mm in 6 months, he was not overly concerned. He did identify nutritional deficiencies including B12 (I had numbness in my hands) and recommended a supplement and another thyroid ultrasound in 6 months. Again, according to him my other complaints were typical of menopause.
Then I started research on the internet and read about Wilson’s temperature syndrome. That’s how I found Dr. Rothman. First, let me just say that she’s wonderful. I finally found someone who would actually listen to me and didn’t pooh-pooh my symptoms. She had blood and saliva tested and found out that I had a hormone imbalance. She also suspected adrenal fatigue and possibly Wilson’s. She started treatment for adrenal fatigue and for sluggish thyroid. Amazingly, my periods started again and my body temperature spikes started to settle down. She’s also made some nutritional recommendations and started me on bio-identical progesterone cream.
I’m making great progress – losing weight, feeling healthier, more stamina and energy all thanks to Dr. Rothman. I hate to think that I would have spent years feeling as I did, when there was help available. I absolutely recommend her – she has terrific bedside manner, will take you seriously, and will really work with you on finding out what’s wrong and correcting it.
– D.M.
I am very grateful that I have had the chance to work with Dr. Sarah Rothman. She has helped my husband to drop his cholesterol levels by 50 points. I have been experiencing menopausal symptoms for the last 15 years – She is the first person to really help. The bio-identical progesterone cream seems to be working. The hot flashes are minimal and my energy is improving – I feel like I am coming out of a tunnel. I strongly recommend Sarah for her compassion and her amazing skills

A friend recommended Dr. Stephanie King. She saved my life with Bioidentical Hormones, I feel like I was in my 20’s again. My memory is up, my energy is great, my business mind is back and my wife is happy. Thank you for giving me my sex life and energy back! Thanks Doc, this was embarrassing at first but it was the best decision I made, and I should have done this years ago.

I found myself in full menopause; literally from one day to the next. I immediately started suffering from terrible hot flashes and migraines. It took some patience, which was difficult given the circumstances. However, patience paid off because after a few weeks my hot flashes totally went away and my migraines subsided tremendously. Dr. King is truly compassionate with what she does and you would be very fortunate to receive her personalized services. I’m sure anyone would agree with me that doctors like this are very hard to find, so don’t miss out, make your appointment today!
– Annette M.
I call Dr. Stephanie King my “Miracle Doctor” because she honestly saved my life. I suffered from chronic urticaria (which means hives all over my body) and it was starting to affect my work as an actress too. I spent two years going to different doctors before I found her. They had me on so many drugs, including Prednisone and Xyzal, and nothing worked. They basically said they didn’t know what was wrong, and I would just have to live with it. Finally I went to Dr. King and she ran the LSA Pro computer scan on me, which scans your organs and systems, and she found my problem areas in my body and my diet. She now has me on bio identical hormone replacements (turns out it was hormone related, which no other doctor got!) and supplements, and I no longer have hives! She always replies within hours when I email her questions too, it’s one of her extras that she offers to her clients, and it’s huge not to have to pay for office exams when she can adjust your supplements and dosage this way. I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is one of the most ethical people I ever met, and makes it her personal mission to help you live your best life possible.
– Barbara N.
I first went to Dr. King for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. First she helped me get on a nutrition plan with a few supplements. All I can say is that only after a few days, I felt better than I had in 10 years.Then she gave me bio-identical supplements. Her suggestions have kept me feeling very balanced and healthy. She is 100% there for her patients. I highly recommend her and her office staff. She helps me maintain my wellness! I am so grateful to her!
– Lisa F.
Dr. Stephanie King saved my life, she truly cares about her patients and treats us like family. I thought I would drive her nuts because I took advantage of her unlimited email and was emailing everyday in the beginning but she was so kind and personally emailed me back and right away answering all my questions, now what doctor still gives you that personal service and doesn’t charge extra. My hormones were a wreck and I had gained 3 sizes as a result I had tried doctors recommended in books by famous people and got worse then a friend said go to Dr. King and I’m so glad I did in one month my hormones we back in good shape I could sleep through the night again after 8 years of no sleep and no more hot flashes.
I have lost 26 pounds and unlike some bad reviewers I’m not in love with food I stuck to Dr. King’s plan followed everything and have maintained my loss at now size 4 the thinnist I’ve ever been in my life. She did help me cheat a little with the Zerona Laser which was my present to me and soooo worth it. Thank you to you and your sweet staff who are so welcoming and also answer all my questions every time I call on the phone you guys are so great and very affordable as I’m on a very fixed budget. Thanks for giving me back my life. I now to go for massage on a regular basis the office is so pleasant to be in.

I have had Fibromyalgia/CFS/Major Sleep disorder problems for the last 12 years. Not one MD Doctor help me over that period of time. Dr. King had me sleeping through the night in less than a month! She saved my life! She has helped with my pain, fatigue, and weightloss. I lost 35lbs in 3 months with her help. She has rescued me from several crisis situations with muscle spasms and misalignments that contributed to my pain and discomfort. She is attentive, available, informed and she really cares to help. I highly recommend her and all of her services. She is a life saver!!!

Dr Mielke is fantastic! After 20 years of unsuccessfully searching for headache and migraine relief in the traditional medical world, Dr Mielke within one visit targeted and remedied several issues causing them. She looked for the origin of the problem, not just how to mask it, and then set me on a track to full recovery. After that, she went to work on smaller issues, all with the goal of creating a healthy body operating at optimal levels. Hormone replacement has been crucial in this journey, which I now see should have started many years ago. It is amazing how traditional medicine totally misses this crucial link to achieving and maintaining total health. I actually look forward to every office visit as we discover and address the next steps to wellness. Dr. Mielke and her nurturing staff are true partners in my health management. I am 54 going on 40, thanks to her guidance!
– Karen M
I simply cannot say enough about how wonderful I feel after 6 months of seeing Dr. Mielke. I was feeling tired all the time, having terrible night sweats and had gained a fairly large amount of weight in a very short time. Within the first week after receiving bioidentical hormones and supplements I was already feeling better. Its been 6 months and I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN! Not only do I have more energy but I have also lost almost 20 pounds. I am sleeping better then I have in years and no longer wake up drenched with sweat. I was skeptical about bioidentical hormone replacement at first but I am so glad I found Dr. Mielke and Optimal Health Spectrums. THANK YOU DR. MIELKE FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!!!

I had always been a pretty healthy person. I had a normal weight my entire life without any special diet or exercise program. Then, all of a sudden, after the age of about 40, I started to gain weight. Nothing I could do seemed to stop the progression. At the same time, I was craving carbs more than before, and my appetite seemed increased. My life was stressful with work and kids like everyone else’s, so I didn’t think much of it. But as time went on, I started having more and more trouble sleeping. I would wake up at 4:00 a.m. almost every night, unable to fall back asleep. I became more and more tired, struggling to get through the day, using more caffeine, and then needing a drink when I got home to calm down. My libido was gone, and this was a big issue in my marriage. I felt like my patience for my family was lower than it used to be. My skin lost its glow and started to show more wrinkles and age spots. I was having more “senior moments” where I was struggling to remember things and think clearly. My regular GYN doctor brushed off my complaints as “normal” for my age.
Eventually, I started having hot flashes, which were very uncomfortable. Finally, the GYN paid attention to that, and gave me oral estrogen and progesterone. While those pills did stop the hot flashes, the sleep problem, low libido, brain fog, and weight gain continued unabated. After a few years of that, I heard about bioidentical hormones. I read several of Suzanne Somers books, and knew that this was what I wanted to do. I also learned that taking estrogen orally is a very bad idea, and may have made some of my problems worse. Finally, I saw Dr Mielke. She ordered blood tests to find out what my baseline hormone levels were. I was low in everything! Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, Thyroid, DHEA, Testosterone, Pregnenolone, Melatonin – they were all low. No wonder I didn’t feel great. I started replacing the hormones with creams and pills. It has taken a few months to figure out the right doses for me, but I already feel better.
A friend of mine noticed an improvement in my complexion almost immediately. I have more energy and can make it through the day without feeling exhausted, and don’t crave caffeine, carbs and alcohol like I used to. I have lost about 5 pounds in the first two months without even trying. My brain is working better, and I feel mentally sharper. One of the best things is that I can sleep now! My sleep is restful, and I feel good in the morning when I get up. I had forgotten what that feels like. My interest in my husband has improved, which makes him happy! Overall, on bioidentical hormones I feel better than I have in years, and am definitely going to stick with it.

I came to see Dr Mielke almost a year ago, in regards to having low testosterone. I met with Dr Mielke and presented all of my symptoms to her, which pointed to low T. As a man in my late 50’s, I truly was at a very low ebb in my life both physically and mentally, and I realized I needed help as quickly as possible. The Dr. had a series of tests run on me, and advised that indeed my T level was extremely low, and that was the reason for my physical lethargy and mental despondency. Dr. Mielke explained to me what she and her staff would do for me by providing me with safe, effective, and closely monitored weekly injections of testosterone. Prior to the injections, I was usually very tired, depressed, gaining fat, losing muscle, and generally in a downward spiral. However, after approximately 4 weeks of injections, I noticed a dramatic difference in my physical and mental health. And now after almost 10 months of being treated for low T by Dr Mielke and regular exercise, I have lost nearly 2 inches of belly fat, while gaining more muscle than I have ever had in my life. I truly am “happy” once again, as my mood has greatly improved, I am much more confident, I sleep much better, and my libido is as if I am 20 years old again. I truly recommend to any man who is in his 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s, who is dealing with fat gain, muscle loss, poor sleep, depression, and / or problems with low libido to PLEASE go and see Dr. Mielke to determine if low T is your problem. What the doctor has done for me in the past 10 months is truly nothing short of a miracle, and has improved my quality of life greatly for the better. The cost for this treatment is quite low, but the results are exceedingly high; and in my opinion, one cannot put a price tag on having good mental and physical health… because without these things, life is not worth living!

I went to see Dr. Mielke because I was tired of other doctors telling me that I was fine when I knew I wasn’t. I was just tired, moody, had aches and pains, wasn’t sleeping well, and was way too forgetful. Everyone else told me – you’re just getting older, its normal, just accept it – but I didn’t want to. Dr. Mielke took my complaints seriously and told me she could probably make me feel better – and she did. After doing some tests, I am now taking healthy supplements and bioidentical hormones, and avoiding foods that I was reacting to, and feel better than I have in years. Thank you Dr. Mielke!
– S.K.
This doctor has changed my life. All the other doctors I went to had no idea what was going on with me, and just dismissed me and rushed me out the door. This doctor actually looked for the REASON the problems were happening and tried to stop it without using harmful drugs with risky side effects. I learned from this doctor that natural is the best way to go. If you have any health problem you want fixed, Dr. Mielke is the doctor for you!

I am very happy with the care from this office. Dr. Jamie Coughlan is knowledgeable, caring, and professional. She always has good ideas and good supplements to recommend and makes wise suggestions. I believe that she takes the time to do research for her patients as well. The staff are really wonderful and helpful.
– Ernest L.
I have been coming here for about 6 months now. Every time I come, Dr. Coughlan and her staff are very professional and welcoming. I couldn’t feel more at ease in a Dr.’s office. I usually use the Hyperbaric Chamber, Infared Sauna and Nutritional IV therapy. I always leave there with a smile on my face and feeling amazing. If you haven’t been here yet, do your self a favor and make an appointment.

Being under Dr. Powell’s care has been the best experience I have found. Working in the medical field for 30 years, I am very sensitive to patient care. I found Dr. Powell to have expert knowledge in his field and be very personable and informative. I refer others to him any chance I can.

Dear Dr. Center, I want to express how fortunate I feel to have you as my physician. I appreciate your intellect and your caregiving, both of which are so strongly evident every time we meet. I’ve also been receiving the various nutritional support supplements you have ordered for me, and every time I dissect the list of ingredients I have to smile at your wisdom. As a former healthcare professional, I must say in truth that “Mayo has got Nuthin’ on you”. An esteemed faculty but missing your very comprehensive approach to patient assessment and treatment. So thank you for accepting me as your patient.
– R.S.
Since I became a patient of Dr. Center and finally found someone who could balance my hormones, I HAVE FELT BETTER THAN I DID WHEN I WAS 20!!! I swear this is true!! Because of his diagnostic genius, the level of bioidentical hormones he has fine tuned to my individual needs have changed my life and restored me to be the best “me” I can be! Dr. Center is not just a doctor, I call him my healer.

Kristy has helped me considerably with my weight and health. I am very grateful for all that she has taught me.
– D.B.
The day that I was diagnosed as having Crohn’s disease, my husband came home with a flyer announcing a lecture by Dr. Kristy Vermeulen entitled “Improving digestion: Naturopathic Treatment Options”. I attended and learned with relief that there was much more to do than just taking the anti-inflammatories, which was all my allopathic Dr., had prescribed. During our consultation I told Dr. Vermeulen about the progression of my various ailments that had all amassed in the last five years: asthma, a goiter, and Crohn’s, and she listened attentively. Quickly and decisively, she wrote down a clear outline of instructions, a very promising plan of attack.
After 6 months, I can say that my Crohn’s is gone, and even my asthma is dramatically improved (I’ve reduced my inhalations of Symbicort 200 from 2X/day to 1 every 2 days. I don’t even notice any asthma anymore!) and at this point even my goiter is much less visible. But more than this, my energy is back entirely and I feel clearer in my head than I have in the last decade. I have found in Dr. Vermeulen a health professional that listens to symptoms and cleverly devises combinations of natural medications and supplements to strengthen the entire system while alleviating the symptoms at the same time. I feel heard, professionally cared for, and carefully attended to with effective tailor-made remedies, for the first time in my medical history.
– G.T.
Dr. Kristy is a savior! I was struggling with hot flashes and insomnia for 2 years before seeing her. She got me started on bio-identical estrogen and progesterone and within a couple of weeks my symptoms disappeared. I was finally sleeping again! And I was able to drink hot tea and coffee again without the fear of breaking out in a hot flash. Thanks Dr. Kristy!
– H.W.
Hi Dr. Kristy, I just wanted to give you an update. The bioidentical cortisol is working great. The extreme exhaustion in the morning and afternoon (foggy brain and thick headed feeling) has subsided and my lower backaches have disappeared. I’m really happy about this. Thanks.
– D.B.
I just can’t thank you enough — you’ve given me my normal life back and in less than a year. You’re just fantastic! I just wanted to let you know. Thank you so very, very much.
– C.T.
Dr. Kristy has helped me so much with my PMS. Since she started treating me with bioidentical hormones my poor moods, breast tenderness and anxiety before my period have completely disappeared. The past 6 months have been heaven in terms of my mood and menstrual cycle. I highly recommend her!

Rejuvenated, re-balanced and full of trust and awe for this dedicated professional woman, I highly recommend her to all those weakened by any condition.

Now that I am in my 40’s, a friend recommended Dr. Rajguru after his own wonderful experience. While I felt the symptoms of low Testosterone, my doctor tested my blood and found that my levels were low but in the normal range. He told me that a normal level meant that I don’t need treatment with testosterone. I also wanted to talk with Dr. Rajguru concerning my lack of energy. We also discussed my weight gain, lack of exercise and even my ‘lazy’ diet that was full of processed, packaged foods. He started me on a treatment plan that started working right away. He told me that an optimal Testosterone level is the level you have when you are in your early twenties and that I would benefit greatly from treatment. I also found out that my lack of energy was related to my low levels of Thyroid Hormone and my excessive caffeine intake. After quitting caffeine, and starting on the hormone and supplement program he prescribed, I have now lost 35 pounds of excess fat and gained 15 pounds of muscle. My body fat percentage dropped from 22% to 12%.
My renewed energy has me exercising regularly, and eating better. I feel again like I did for most of my adult life, active, energetic, enthusiastic and even sleeping better at night. It now seems difficult to remember what ‘getting old’ felt like those years.
It has been a little over a year now with Dr. Rajguru, and I’m grateful for how it has improved every aspect of my health and even my relationship with my family. We have kids on the younger side, so to have this enthusiasm again to give to my wife and children, to match their energy levels, and to be a role model again for a healthy lifestyle is a welcome improvement for everyone.
I was having problems getting a good nights sleep. I consider myself to be a healthy active person. I eat a healthy diet and exercise daily. My family doctor checked my Testosterone level after I urged him to do so and it came back low. She was reluctant to start me Testosterone, but I convinced her to do so.
I wanted to see someone who specializes in low Testosterone so I made an appointment with Dr. Rajguru. He retested me and told me that my estrogen level was too high and that it was competing with the Testosterone I was taking. He adjusted my dose and how I injected the Testosterone. He also prescribed what I needed to reduce my estrogen levels. Now, I am sleeping well again and feeling the full benefits of Testosterone (which are great).

Dr. Tuner Treated me with respect and kindness and empowered me to make important decisions about my procedure and my after care.

I turned to Dr. Turner for help with my menopausal misery a few weeks ago. He put me on the Vivelle patch which resulted in a significant increase in my wellbeing and ‘joi-de-vivre’ within a week. He also made sure that I take daily progesterone to protect the lining of the uterus. I feel so much better. I am thrilled. Thank you Dr. Turner!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Turner. He has been my Gynecologist for many years and I trust and respect him enormously. He is kind, gentle and thorough, and I have complete confidence in him. His staff is exemplary as well. Four weeks ago, I underwent a supra-cervical hysterectomy. Several hours after the operation I was able to go home. The care and preparation I received beginning with the initial consultations and throughout the procedure and recovery has been really wonderful. Within two weeks, I was back to swimming and hiking and many other of my normal activities. As I continue my recovery, I feel great and am very happy with the decision to have this procedure. Thank you very much, Dr. Turner, Sara and Kelly, for making a difficult time go so smoothly and making me feel safe and cared for at every step of the way.

It’s the Best Diet Plan for me: I’ve Reached My Goal 2 Years in a Row! I know it’s better to keep weight off once you reduce, but when life takes me in a different direction I go back to Duncan Turner MD and re-up my diet plan. The TMA staff is very helpful and professional, though the work that really counts is what you do when you leave their office. By sticking to the eating plan, weighing the protein and keeping to the portions you should see fast results. I didn’t find it hard as you choose the foods you like from the different options and many of those foods can be eaten outside your home, at restaurants or private parties. For the first few weeks it does help to take your lunch with you so you have it handy. The trick is to realize the plan is calibrated to help your body get what it needs and no more, so cheating just slows down the process and takes you longer to realize your goal. I never had side effects from the medication or the meal plan and know that with the right attitude anyone can succeed with this program.

I would highly recommend leg vein treatment by Dr. Turner. Tired, achy, and very sore legs had plagued me when I first came to see him. Although the veins on my legs did not appear to look that bad, upon examination he found they needed treatment. The treatment was simple and virtually painless. The results, immediate. No longer are my legs sore and tired at the end of the day, and they look better too!
– Karen Bartlett
I am not a patient (yet) of Dr Turner, but I found his name in Suzanne Somers books and I trust her judgment and I was also a little frantic and so I called dD Turner. Of course the office was closed because its Saturday but then the message on his office line said ” if it is an emergency please call his cell number at 805-… So although I was nervous to call him on his personal line on a Saturday and he doesn’t even know me , I did! It went to his voice mail so I left a message. A few hours later my phone rings and its Dr Turner.!!
I was blown away!! I had a serious medical question that I needed to hear the answer from a doctor to make sure I was making the right medical decision and he discussed it with me!!!! He gave me an answer and I felt hugely relieved!! I can’t believe that he even talked to me. I have left numerous messages with my bio identical hormone doctor where i live for 3 days now and she has not even called me back!!! Dr. Turner obviously cares about “People” rather than what time of day we call or that we don’t have an appt or are not paying for his phone call! I am so impressed with his Human Kindness and hope to become his patient. Thank you so much Dr Turner!!
– Lisa Craft
I was having problems getting a good night’s sleep. I consider myself to be a healthy active person. I eat a healthy diet and exercise daily. My family doctor checked my Testosterone level after I urged him to do so and it came back low. She was reluctant to start me Testosterone, but I convinced her to do so. My initial results were great. I slept like a baby. I also had more energy, increased sex drive, and great workouts. A short while later all of the benefits started to disappear and my doctor didn’t have a solution for me. I wanted to see someone who specializes in low Testosterone so I made an appointment with Doctor Christopher Hermanson. He retested me and told me that my estrogen level was too high and that it was competing with the Testosterone I was taking. He adjusted my dose and how I injected the Testosterone. He also prescribed what I needed to reduce my estrogen levels. Now, I am sleeping well again and feeling the full benefits of Testosterone (which are great).

Patients are very fortunate to have a Dr. of the caliber of Dr. Jones in Los Angeles. He has taken care of myriad numbers of my patients and provided them consistently with the highest medical care possible. Many times these patients had seen numbers of other physicians before Dr. Jones discovered and treated their true problem. I am proud to associate with him.
– Dr. Vanessa Johnson
I was an undiagnosed diabetic that Dr. Jones discovered, and put me on an easy to follow prescriptive exercise and nutritional plan that resulted in a complete reversal of my diabetes and complete correction of my high cholesterol.
– M. Jenkins
I am an actress and my skin has never looked better and my body is better toned than ever with more energy than before. My workouts are easier with better results from the same time in the gym.
– Helen B.
I noticed how much softer my skin is and how much younger I look. my vaginal symptoms have totally resolved and sex is better than ever. I just simply feel great.
– Corlene D.
My weight began to respond immediately to the changes Dr. Jones made in his program. My cholesterol normalized and I was able to stop the medication for it. My waist size is smaller and my curves I have not had for 20 years are back. Thank your for your care.
– Linda W.
I have lost 28 pounds, reduced my waist from 41 to 33 inches, normalized my cholesterol and my libido has increased; thank you Dr. Jones.
– Robert M.
I have lost 21 pounds, my blood sugar normalized, and my waist went from 40 to 32. I am keeping the weight off and have much more energy than ever.
– Robin S.
Dr.Jones has restored my faith in physicians. He takes all the time I need to understand his program and is never rushed. He is easy to reach at all times, and my strength and endurance and libido have never been better.
– Charles B.
I am wearing the same size after 4 months on the program that I was in high school, where I was a competitive swimmer. Thank you for finding and correcting my thyroid problem and hormones. I have never felt better.
– Douglas K.
I have added muscle to my arms and chest while reducing my waist size to the smallest I have ever been. My libido and overall energy has increased while all my friends have been commenting on all the new positive changes.
– Alex D.
I have never had a doctor give me his private cell phone number, and Dr. Jones has helped me maintain a 22 pound weight loss, replaced my thyroid which made a world of difference in my energy and mood.

I wish yelp would let me give Dr. Sokitch 10 stars! If it was not for Dr. Sokitch, I would have probably been dead by now! Thank you for saving my life! I am internally greatful! It feels awesome to be healthy after struggling with my health for decades! Dr. Sokitch you are AMAZING!!! You are an amazing gift to the universe! Thank you,
– Cindy
I highly recommend Shiroko Sokitch. I had to have my ovaries removed at a young age and was in surgically induced menopause. My traditional doctor kept switching the hormones I was taking and I had a terrible time with all of the symptoms of menopause. After a year of this I went to see Dr. Sokitch. She did a full evaluation and took it one step at a time. It was not an overnight fix, but after a few months of working with her, we found a solution and regimen that worked for me. Now, after all of this time I am feeling so much better and feel like Dr. Sokitch truly helped me get to a “happy” place with my health and my body. THANK YOU!
– Lisa P.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shiroko’s for long enough to know the difference between the type of well-rounded physician she is, and the type who is not in tune with their patients at all. Dr. Shiroko is not only experienced, and continually striving to learn more, she actually partners with me to keep my healthy body flowing along through life, allowing me to do exactly as I wish, without limitations. When I have an acute issue, Dr. Shiroko is responsive, rather than reactive. She is sensible, kind, caring, and super committed. In fact, one Friday night, i was stung by a bee, and I am normally allergic (blood poisoning), so i contacted Dr. Shiroko and she helped get me through the night WITH NO allergic reaction, and NO harsh drugs. That’s just one small example. I recommend Dr. Shiroko to everyone I know.
– Lynn J.
I wanted to let you know how much better I feel since going on the hormones you prescribed for me. Thank you!
– Terri
I started hormone replacement therapy in January for hot flashes, night sweats, and “the jitters”. Four months later, I have no hot flashes, no night sweats and I am more calm and happy, with a relaxed peaceful energy! Thank you Dr. Mathur.
– Nancy
Three months into the hormone replacement I have tested 20 points higher on my IQ and 20 points higher on aptitude test. My tone level has come up considerably and the body feels better. I feel a significant gain in energy and attitude.
– Frank
In relation to the hormone treatment that I have taken at Angel Longevity Medical center. Before I felt very tired, felt very angry. I believed that I was getting older and were the symptoms of aging. The energy and the will of doing everything I had to do during the day were no longer sufficient to carry out my daily actions. I felt so frustrated! When I cam e to the Doctor, she changed my diet and gave me some vitamins and hormones and today I feel like my energy is back to when I was 15 years old!
– Mireya
I began the first HRT and IMMEDIATELY within 2 days I had results. I felt PEACEFUL – not aggressive. Pain in my neck STOPPED! Body aches stopped. And the overall balance of my body nerves STABILIZED! My sleep at night became deep. I have MORE energy already and now I look back after only 2 weeks of the HRT and now I can see that what Dr Mathur saw in my body was real and FIXABLE.
– Sharon
Before I took the hormones I had hot flashes all day and all night (almost every 2 hours, sometimes more). Anju had me take estrogen and progesterone and since then I’ve been sleeping full nights without waking up! This is quite a change in energy and efficiency. Thanks Anju

Great and professional service. Dr was thorough and professional. Great outcome so far although I’ve only had one visit so I need to wait another 10 days for full results.
– Claire B.
Dr. Sani is very straight forward and honest on the treatment I need. He doesn’t oversell you any in unnecessary treatment and the price is reasonable. I will come back and certainly recommend my friends to use his service.
– Vivian Y.
Staff was excellent in scheduling and welcoming when I arrived. They were also approachable about questions. The Dr. is prompt, honest and personable. Thanks for the service! I’ll be back!
– Kristine R.
Dr Sani is very clear in explaining before as well as during the treatment which provides me confidence and never felt being in the unknown of the ongoings.
– Jessica T.
I am very pleased with the services and treatments provided by Dr. Sani and his staff. Dr. Sani demonstrates a true interest in your concerns, takes time to review the best options of treatment, staying in contact with you post treatment. It has been a pleasure being under Dr. Sani’s care. He is considerate and caring, never rushing an appoinment. His staff is accomodating and helpful. I highly recommend Dr.Sani.
– Nancy C.
Dr Sani and his staff are amazing! If I could give more stars I would, because he is literally the best. He is professional, patient and most importantly great at what he does. I have never felt rushed through my appointment. He patiently answers all of questions. He listened to what I was trying to solve and shared the services available. But more importantly he recommended what would best suit me. Dr Sani even followed the next day to see how I was doing. I highly recommend Dr Sani, he does amazing work!
– Shannon G.
This place is great. Very clean, the girls at the front were very sweet and professional. The dr. Answered all my questions and did a great job.
– Carissa L.
I have a great experience with trusted professionals like Dr Sani. Very accommodating and explains everything in detail. Definitely going to continue using their services.

I love Health and Beauty Physicians!! Dr Sani is wonderful and did an amazing job.

I will come back in the future without any hesitation!
– Laura E.
Dr Sani is fantastic. He uses all of the latest products available for great results I was impressed with his up to date knowledge on many procedures I would highly recommend his services.

I have been going to Dr. Omeed Sani for the past couple of years and he’s done Miracles for me and I’ve never felt better than I do at the age of 43 now!! I’m greatful to him and would highly recommend him.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Meric and her treatment and healthy approach to my well being! When I first met Dr.Meric I was a mental and health mess for me. I have always been healthy, but after a complete hysterectomy, my mood, physical appearance, asthma, and headaches were all getting the best of me! She has done WONDERS for me, and I tell everyone I know about her ability to listen, really understand, and help women such as myself who have suffered for so long with imbalances that I was not even aware of that had such an effect on my life!
Even before the hysterectomy! And all without relying on pharmaceutical solutions but rather vitamin supplementation, healthy eating and dieting habits, being aware of the foods that caused my headaches and asthma, and bio-identical hormone replacement that has literally saved my mental and physical well being! I truly am blessed and grateful I found her! Thank you, Dr. Meric, for giving me my life back!:)
– Jeannette B.

I am 40 years of age and have had problems with my hormones since I can remember. Trouble ovulating, problems getting pregnant, pms. Primarily my pms symptoms were quite noticeable by family members, I could look at the calendar and now what time of the month it was even though my cycles were never reliable. My cramps sent pain through my legs and back. I have children to care for, it became debilitating. I read many books about bio-identical hormones. I asked my primary physician about this, but the response was putting me on birth control! However, I have my tubes tied, and I did not want to take a synthetic version of what I could receive naturally. I believe that the natural hormone replacement as our own hormones decline, protects us from various illnesses, that cannot be done with synthetics.
After my appointment with you, I knew I had finally found the right place. I started on the progesterone cream which calmed my moods, my cramps were next to nothing and it shortened my cycle to a more normal menstruation. My moods have been calmed as well. This is life changing for me. I hope to see you soon.
– Kara S.
I started seeing Dr. Meric in the spring of 2008 following a recommendation from one of Suzanne Somers’ books. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Meric’s thoroughness and warm, caring nature. Brilliant people like her are often cold and mechanical. She focused on finding the root cause of my ailment and not treating the symptoms. The improvement in my heath has been remarkable which has dramatically altered my sense of purpose and excitement about living. It is not an overstatement that I owe my life to her. My decision to become one of Dr. Meric’s patients has been one of the best things that I have ever done in my entire life!
– Jeff B.
I wanted to recommend Dr. Meric’s services. For the past year, she has successfully assessed my health and provided solutions to my problems. Dr. Meric has been extremely thorough in treating my hypothyroidism, premenopausal symptoms and adrenal fatigue. Dr. Meric has been able to provide me with the knowledge and supplements I need to be in charge of my health. It was a challenge to find one doctor that would address all of my health issues at the same time. Finding Dr. Meric’s care was a relief, and she helped me put all the “pieces” of my health care puzzle together.
– Melinda D.
I was concerned for many years about the use of synthetic hormones, mainly, Premarin, to lessen the effects of menopause. I finally decided to cut them out and was plagued with night sweats and hot flashes, weight gain and lethargy. I read Suzanne Sommers’ book and looked into the list of doctors she recommended. I came across some doctors fairly close to my home and selected Janel Meric. When I first arrived she was warm, friendly and explained exactly what her methods of treatment were and I was thrilled that I could actually get a safe substitute for the synthetic hormones I was receiving. Upon beginning the treatment she recommended, my symptoms became less and less and I have been pleased with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Meric and her treatments.

I can’t begin to express the gratitude and gratefulness I have for Donna Nikander. I feel she has given my life back to me, literally. For years I felt so bad with chronic inflammation and chronic fatigue and much more that I had forgotten what it was like to feel ‘normal.’ I was told to make a lifestyle change, and deal the best I can with anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety meds and sleeping aids. But nothing helped; in fact they made things worse. My body was beginning to shut down. I found Donna online. At my first visit, she knew exactly what I was telling her, why this was happening to me, and what we needed to do. For the first time in my adult life, I found someone who understood exactly how I felt. Tears of hopefulness and joy overwhelmed me. Donna started me out slow on certain supplements and has added more over time. The change has been remarkable in a very short time. I feel stronger, in all aspects, and I feel better. I know it will take time, but I am willing to work with Donna to feel healthy and whole. I thank Donna from the bottom of my heart for listening, understanding and taking action. I know with her incredible knowledge and care, my quality of life will be more than I could have ever expected.
– K.L.
I have been a patient of Donna Nikander for two years… Donna has renewed my life with her care. She always has time for me and does not hurry me out of her office so she can see the next patient. She is very good at getting back to me when I email her with a problem or need a prescription filled. She has changed my meds and added supplements. The plan she has for me is one she developed for my individual needs. She is very kind and really cares about her patients. She even emails and sometimes calls to see how I am doing. I appreciate all she does for me.
– A.S.
I have been a patient of Donna Nikander’s for about 10 years. She has also treated many of my friends and family. I have the utmost trust and confidence in Donna. She is ALWAYS kind, patient, caring and most of all knowledgeable and resourceful. She never makes me feel as through she is rushing to finish an appointment and is very generous with her time. I really appreciate that she takes the time to understand my concerns and symptoms and is willing to address the same at a pace hat is comfortable to me. She is the most professional healthcare provider I have ever seen, while also being the most compassionate and available. My quality of life has been greatly enhanced under the direction and care of Donna Nikander. She is one of the smartest and most knowledgeable people I know. I am so grateful to her for always being there for ailments big or small!
– J.L.
I searched for many years for answers to several health care problems and after seeing many doctors, specialists, etc I was still needing help. Still determined to achieve better health, I found Donna Nikander. Upon our first meeting, she patiently listened to me and partnered with me in exploring ways to help me. Her insights and knowledge are second to none. Donna has a wide variety of both standard medical practices as well as an incredible integrative approach that really works! I am proud to say Donna Nikander has been my medical liaison for many years now and continues to guide and advise me towards better health. Under Donna’s care, I have lost over 60 lbs, am working on several important health issues, and I am blessed to have her insight and knowledge to help guide me. She has inspired me to pursue a degree in nutrition so I can hopefully help others. Thank you so much, Donna!

Finally a practitioner that insists on looking both inside and outside the box to find solutions that may have been missed or improperly diagnosed by others.Integrating Western and Eastern Medicine, including nutrition, balance, and common sense, Carrie Ballas is well worth a trip to Boulder. You feel her sincerity when you meet her, and she will not simply listen, but HEAR what you have to tell her about what you are facing. Thank you so much Carrie.
– Jennifer Price
After visiting doctors for symptoms of menopause I felt I was making no progress. At 53 years old, I decided to take a different approach. After reading and hearing about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) I made my first appointment and my relationship with Carrie Spann Ballas began. Now, 1 1/2 years later I look back and realize it was the beginning of a new life. Not only is Carrie knowledgeable and dedicated, she is also caring and compassionate. Talking with Carrie is like talking to a close friend or a family member. Now menopause is no longer a nightmare for me. I highly recommend HRT for both females and males.
– Melinda Pietrafeso
I actually followed Carrie from her former employer. It took me a while to track her down but believe me – I did – and I am extremely thankful! I am tired of sterilized Western medicine which has little or no respect for the body, soul and spiritual link. Carrie both understands and respects this truth. Not only did I know from my first meeting with her that she was an excellent practitioner, but I also knew from our first meeting that she was just an excellent person all the way around. She LISTENS. She doesn’t just hear what you say, she listens, and I can see her thinking and processing the information. She also respects what I say about my own health and body and takes that into consideration. She has been right on the mark with me every time I come in for a visit. I no longer have anxiety or tension about seeing my medical professional because I know and trust her knowledge and expertise. Whoo hoo! You go Carrie!

Dr. Lee has been my doctor for many years and several pregnancies. I already knew what a great and caring doctor he was. But the best part came late in my 40’s when I’d already had a crazy brain fog for several years, along with other peri-menopausal symptoms. I was determined not to go on hormones but that all changed after an hours visit with Dr. Lee. He educated me so clearly about bio-identical hormones, and many other aspects of fully balancing my whole chemistry for aging wellness. He was patient with my endless questions, and that hour changed my future. I’m 58 now, and I simply feel great. I still attend his wonderful talks to hear all of the latest information in this field of medicine, as he truly is an expert. My husband goes to Dr. Lee now too. Who knew 21 years ago, when my husband stood next to Dr. Lee for the birth of our 4th child, that he would someday be his patient too!
– Jane
I became a patient of Dr. Lee’s in 2008 after a friend recommended him to me. Following a much needed hysterectomy, I continued to see Dr. Lee for annual physicals and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. What really sets him apart from other doctor’s is his extensive knowledge and expertise in this field. He remains current on all of the new studies and data on HRT. He was a proponent of Vitamin D long before it’s current popularity. I’ve never had such confidence or trust in a physician. He also takes a lot of time with his patients and is truly interested in their wellbeing. I hope he never retires.
– Susan
I have been a patient of Dr. Lee for about four years. When I arrived for my first consultation, I was 54 years old and already well into menopause. I confess that I didn’t have any serious problems (I thought) at the time, but I also simply did not feel on top of the world. I just assumed that’s how it should be at my “age.” At the suggestion of a dear friend, I met with Dr. Lee and began a closely monitored age management program that included bio-identical hormones, nutritional supplements, and diet and exercise recommendations. After a few months I began to have more energy, and most importantly my foggy mind cleared. All of those jokes about middle-aged women becoming forgetful were sadly true for me, but I’ve seen great improvement following Dr. Lee’s program. Now, at 58, I feel as youthful as I did 20 years ago – both mentally and physically. Thank you Dr. Lee!
– Melissa
At 45, I was starting to feel my age. Thanks to testosterone therapy, I’ve got the energy, confidence and drive I had years ago. I can’t imagine my life without it.
– James D.
The staff here are just amazing, friendly and knowledgeable, helpful and really care about their clients. I was reluctant at first but am very happy I did go.
– Linda K.
I love this place! Best family practice in the Springs!
Thank you for your help. Since I have been seeing you and started this cream I feel better than I did in my 20’s and 30’s. I never enjoyed sex before – that’s changed. My husband says thank you too.
I’m doing well! NO HOT FLASHES and no more waking up at 3am!!!!
I am GREAT on the bio-identical hormones! I have more energy now that I’m sleeping though the night again. Many thanks!
I went to 5 different doctors for my migraine headaches and after one month on my hormones my migraines were completely gone.
I am less irritable, nicer, and sleeping very well.
Whenever I have memory problems, I rub some of the bio-identical cream on the inside of my thighs and it’s like magic. This is not my imagination. The cream must stimulate my progesterone level because I can do public speaking, go off on a tangent and without notes come back to the main point. I couldn’t do this before. It amazes me. Thank you for your help.
The hormones have made all the difference in the world. Thank you so much! I feel like myself again. Thank you Dr. Bruice.
I am doing wonderfully with my hormones! The little things are no longer bothering me and my family likes me again. Again, thank you, thank you for all you have done for me.
I feel just great on my hormones. I value my relationship with you and always get so much out of seeing you.
I am feeling much better and I do attribute that to the Rx’s I’ve been taking. Thank you so very much for helping me.
I’m feeling MUCH better. I NEED MY HORMONES especially when it comes to visiting certain relatives! Thanks again
Dr. Bruice gave me a “new” life. I was depressed, slept 4 hours a night, had anxiety attacks, was claustrophobic, had memory loss, had lost interested in sex; worst of all I thought I was the only person this was happening to. After attending Dr. Bruice’s presentation I learned that there were other women experiencing the same issues. After a blood workup and an evaluation of the results Dr. Bruice prescribed bioidentical hormones and I got the old me back. I sleep 8 plus hours a night, elevators are no longer dreaded, my libido is comparable to when I was 25 (I am 60), no more anxiety attacks, no depression. I can’t believe I had to go through 10 years of hell before I found the answers to my “problem”. My “doctor” suggested Prozac and Valium – I am thankful that I found a natural way to deal with all my symptoms and didn’t have to resort to a cover up approach. Most importantly Dr. Bruice keeps an open line of communication through e-mail. His replies are prompt and never condescending.
Making an appointment with Dr. Kenton Bruice was probably one of the best things I have ever done. I have suffered from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, memory loss, loss of energy and depression. All the other doctors that I went to, wanted to put me on more mediation to mask the symptoms and I never felt any relief. Within 2 weeks of my appointment and taking the creams, along with the DHEA tablets, I noticed a considerable change in many areas. Although it has taken me over 5 years to find someone that actually listened to me and how I felt, instead of looking at me as another number, seeing Doctor Bruice was well worth the wait. I have already recommended him to several friends and will continue as there are so many women out there that are not educated on how a hormone imbalance can affect our day to day life. Thank-you for all your help!
After being told that HRT was not necessary after hysterectomy because I am in my early 50s, I went to Dr. Bruice for a second opinion. I was 9 months post-hysterectomy and hardly functioning. I have always been a high-energy person and found myself struggling to get through the work day. The hot flashes, night sweats, mental dullness, depressed mood, and joint pain left me feeling hopeless. Dr. Bruice explained everything, did the lab work, and then based on the results prescribed the HRT cream. Within two weeks I was feeling better. Two months later, I have my life back!
For many years I’ve been a very busy business man working long hours at a high paced, stressful job. When I was younger I had the energy for my busy lifestyle. However, as I aged, fatigue set in and I began gaining weight, loosing muscle, and experienced increased difficulties staying focused and concentrating. This became more and more frustrating as I could not find an answer; these issues began to affect my health, work, family and social life. I started to think that this was just part of getting older, and I’d have to get used to feeling like this. Then, thankfully, I came across Denver Hormone Health Clinics and their pellet therapy. Dr. Goldstein and his staff took the time to listen to my concerns and develop a treatment plan based on my specific needs. Within a short period of time I noticed drastic changes in my energy levels, workouts and libido along with increased focused and work productivity. Within 18 months from starting hormone replacement therapy I lost 25 lbs and went from having 25 to 18 percent body fat!
Thanks to Denver Hormone Health Clinics I have now gained “vitality” back in my life and feel like I did when I was younger. I would absolutely recommend DenverHormone Health Clinics to anyone experiencing similar symptoms.

I am a 70 year old male, who has had several serious medical conditions during my lifetime. These include a cancer diagnosis, the loss of my left kidney, an abdominal aneurysm, and a heart attack in 2012. After going through all of this, it truly seemed to me that I would never regain my strength, endurance and quality of life. Then I heard about Denver Hormone Health Clinics and had a professional consultation with Dr. Stephen Goldstein who, along with his highly qualified assistant Ms. Debbie Brinkman, ordered an extensive blood test. The results revealed that I had very low levels of several hormones and was also lacking essentials vitamins. They suggested pellet therapy and performed a procedure with pellets that were custom made for my body chemistry. Within a short amount of time I began to notice how much better I was feeling. I now feel just like I did when I was in my 50’s. I am now able to work a full night shift and play 9 holes of gold (walking) 5 days a week! I am very grateful to them for all they have done and continue to do for me. I highly recommend Denver Hormone Health Clinics to men and women of all ages.
– Sincerely D.P.
Having read about, and inquiring into BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY, I called Denver Hormone Health Clinics. I consulted with Dr. Stephan Goldstein M.D. and Ms. Debbie Brinkman. I am 75 years old female who went through menopause around the age of 44. Since then I have experienced many side effects related to low hormone levels. They conducted a thorough physical exam, and an extensive blood test, to determine my personal levels. My test results indicated that I was hormone deficient and as a result, I was given the bio identical pellets injection, which was relatively painless. I was also prescribed compounded prescriptions, which I needed to maintain normal hormone levels.
In approximately 2 days I noticed a remarkable change in my energy levels; better than I have had in at least 5 years. In a very short amount of time I felt my depression, mood swings, and dry skin improve considerably. This new treatment was done in a professional and pleasant manner. I personally and highly recommend Denver ormone Health Clinics to anyone who is looking to improve their quality of life, and health, regardless of age or gender.
– Sincerely, M. Pardue
I have been so pleased with the results I have obtained with the SotoPellet hormone therapy. I no longer have that brain fog and fatigue. I love the fact that my energy has returned. I love doing yoga, outdoor photography. I really notice a difference in my stamina and endurance. Thank you Dr. de la Torre

I have suffered with hot flashes every hour to 1/2 hour for eight years as I had to have a complete hysterectomy in 2004. I have not had a full night sleep since then because of the hot flashes. The Bio-identical hormones have given me back my life and I feel like a real woman again. Plus my husband is VERY happy again!
– Pat S.
I started taking synthetic hormones after my hysterectomy in 1983 to prevent menopausal symptoms. Some years later, I went off the synthetic hormones for two months. Discontinuing the hormones had an immediate impact on my life. I cried uncontrollably for no good reason, experienced hot flashes, night sweats and wasn’t sleeping well. The unpredictable mood swings were the worst. At the time, I had a demanding career working long hours in a high stress environment. This emotional turbulence had an impact on my relationships with my husband, friends and coworkers. I knew my body needed the hormone replacement therapy so I started taking the hormones again.
After a study reported the risks for women taking synthetic hormones, Deanna & I agreed that I needed to discontinue the synthetic hormones. She suggested that I change to a safer hormone replacement therapy. Deanna explained bioidentical hormone therapy is more natural and it gives her the ability to formulate a prescription closer to my physical needs. I’ve been on biodenticals since then and life is good.
I have been a patient of Dr. DelPrete since 1998. She a great listener and treats the ‘whole’ patient.
– Barbara J.
I found out about bioidenticals (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) in the Bridgeport Post and saw Suzanne Summers talking about them on tv. I was at the point where I needed something. My memory was so poor, my hair was dry and I was having hot flashes and night sweats. Dr. DelPrete sat with me: knew exactly what I was talking about, knew what was going on with by body and knew what to do. I don’t know what I would do without my bioidenticals. I feel like everything came back to life!
– Karen B.
I’ve been on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for nine years now and I did a lot of research before I was referred to Dr. DelPrete. I had dry skin, hot flashes, mood swings and wasn’t sleeping well. My dosage was adjusted a couple of times in the beginning. Since then my symptoms have been gone and now I only see Dr. DelPrete for my annual physical.

I found that Dr. Fishman’s IAAM Wellness comprehensive age-management and preventive medicine center has been a Major gift to my health and FEELING SO MUCH BETTER! “The evaluation was quite extensive, with in-depth laboratory analysis, physical evaluation, and a 2-hour consultation with Dr. Fishman. I was then placed on a wellness program to optimize my health. I like the convenience of taking customized nutrient packets, and I like knowing my nutrients are pharmaceutical-grade and are exactly what I need.”
Since becoming a patient at IAAM, I’ve lost 30 pounds, no longer has high blood pressure or have many other unwanted symptoms. Dr. Fishman only prescribes Bio-Identical Hormones. The Skin Therapy Center has been wonderful for rejuvenation of my skin. So now, I feel and look younger! It truly is a GIFT to my body and THANKS to Dr. Peggy Fishman and her staff.
– Helen Ratterman
I have been under the care of Center for Integrative and Age-Management Medicine for the last 3 years. I am 56 years old and have been in the bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for the duration and for the last year have been taking an HGH maintenance dose. I have had astounding results. I feel like I’m 30 and people guess my age at 45, I’m have the stamina to teach three fitness classes a week, my mental clarity has increased some three fold but the most astounding thing that has happened in the last year is that the vision in my right eye which had an underdeveloped optic nerve has improved from 20/80 to 20/30!
– K. Wilson
I am 54 years old and I started going to Dr. Fishman about 2 years ago. Before going to her, I was using a generic hormone cream. Through blood work and consultations, Dr. Fishman and Stavan have changed my life through bio-identical hormone replacement. I do not have hot flashes, night sweats, bladder problems, trouble sleeping or many other symptoms I could be having. She regulates the supplements I take and has tremendously improved my over all health. I love that she chooses the most natural way to approach any health problem. I am so grateful that I found them at this time of my life. I feel 35!

Several years ago I was sitting in my office about to have what most people would call a nervous breakdown. For about a year it had seemed to me that I had lost energy, focus, drive, and a general sense of well being. I found that I could be reduced to tears frequently and that I just couldn’t seem to manage even the most basic of tasks. I was in a high pressure that I had just adored for years, but in that moment just didn’t care. My self confidence was at an all time low and that had never happened to me before. I would go home at 6:00, put on my pajamas and just sit on the couch. I didn’t even have the energy to cook, which is a real love of mine.
In that moment in my office, I said to myself, “Gee, Holly, who the heck are you? I don’t even recognize you anymore.” I had gone to my doctor and had been told it was my age and to just accept that this was how aging was. I was stunned at that explanation and found that I simply couldn’t accept. So, I did some research and found Dr. Fishman. Both my husband and I went in for a consult. We carefully considered all that the anti-aging plan entailed and decided that life wouldn’t be worthwhile if we didn’t have the energy and health to enjoy it and that we were simply too young to give up. So I got the labs done and sat down with Dr. Fishman. It was in that consult that I discovered how I felt made perfect sense in light of the what was going on inside my body. She put me on a regiment and within 30 days I recognized myself again. I refound my focus, energy, interests, self confidence and sense of well being. Over time I felt better and better and better. I even lost 50 pounds and was back in a size 12. I’m back to running circles around my staff — even those 20 years younger and that’s the way I want it to be. This program is well worth it. I am so glad I found IAAM and recommend it to anybody at any age.
– Holly Helscher
We have been so pleased with the attentiveness by all the staff involved in our care and to all of our many requests. Beside our excellent medical treatment, all of our needs and questions were handled promptly and professionally – and always in a patient and friendly manner.

I’m writing to tell you what a difference you have made in my life. After ten years of migraines, followed by a hysterectomy, autoimmune disorder, thyroid disorder, adrenal disorder, severe weight gain, loss of libido, depression and countless other issues, I had begun to think I would never be well, let alone “thin” again. I tried everything, even tried holistic all natural care for two years without much success and absolutely no weight loss despite dieting and excessive exercising. As a result, I began to seek out answers on my own. In my search for wellness, I came across Suzanne Somers book “Ageless”. The symptoms she mentioned sounded so much like mine I just had to find someone who practiced anti aging medicine (somewhat) near me. Fortunately, that search led me to you. I began seeing results immediately with the anti-aging program at the Center for Integrative and Age-Management Medicine. After undergoing the most extensive blood testing I’ve ever seen it was determined I was severely deficient in just about everything: pretty much all hormones, all vitamins, all minerals, all essential fatty acids you name it, I needed it.
So, you provided a custom plan for me based on my needs and then tweaked it as necessary as we went along. That custom plan has given me my life back. My weight has dropped 35 pounds, from a size 14 to a size 4. My energy levels are back to normal. My sex life is alive and well again. Desire and feeling have returned. My husband and I are most grateful for this. My memory is sharp. The depression is gone. I now have “normal to optimal” and still improving results in most all areas of my blood work. I have regained my confidence and am once again optimistic about life and my health. Thank you so much for all that you’ve done for me. Thanks to you life is worth living again! Thanks especially for your patience with my many emails and questions. I have referred 3 people to your office so far. I’m sure I’ll be sending more. Sincerely,
– Sherry S., Harrison
This has revolutionized my life. I started hormones 5 months ago. Everything is better. I sleep well. Hot flashes and night sweats are completely gone. I have more energy. My libido and vaginal dryness have improved. I feel my brain is sharper. I feel mentally balanced and not irritable. It’s really amazing! Thank you Dr. Selma.
– J.D.
My best friend had been nagging me to get help from Dr. Selma Rashid. I finally did, after 2 years! Over a few months I became the person I used to be. I’m not depressed, irritable or moody. I sleep like a log and have no more night sweats. My mind is clear. I have energy to exercise. I never realized how much I had changed. I wouldn’t stop this for anything.
– A.G. Bartlett
Every time I went to my doctor and told him I was having difficulty sleeping, my libido was low, I was feeling tired and depressed, he told me it’s normal and I’m just getting old. Dr. Selma told me yes, it’s normal – but we have solutions! She was so right! My life is so much better. I feel the way I did years ago. Dr. Selma changed my life.
– D.K.
I felt I was losing my mind, within a few weeks of starting BHRT I started to feel normal. I’m so glad I didn’t start the antidepressants my family doctor prescribed. My hot flashes went away within a week. It’s crazy how simple this was. I’m so much calmer and happier. I can’t thank Dr. Selma enough.
– S.M.
I knew something was wrong. No one was able to answer my question. I’m too young to feel the way I did. Dr. Selma measured my hormones. I was not ovulating; my ovaries have aged more than my normal age. I started taking Dr. Selma’s regimen. Within weeks I felt so much happier, sexually normal, my acne is almost gone.
– N.P.
I was a wreck. I couldn’t sleep through the night for months. I was always tired and irritated. I knew I was difficult to be around. Silly little things would get me in a rage. Then I would feel even worse. I never used to be like this. I came to Dr. Selma after my friend insisted I get help. I really didn’t think I would feel so much better so quickly. Within days my sleep got much better. My mood improved in the first cycle. I’ve been taking Dr. Selma’s hormones for seven months, I feel better in a thousand ways.”
– G.H.
I’ve been using Dr. Selma’s program for two and a half years. I remember when I started I had so many issues. My libido was gone. I was depressed, anxious and tired. I couldn’t remember simple things, and felt foggy in my brain. Within days of starting hormones, my symptoms began to improve. After about six months I forgot how miserable I had been. I thought the hormones were not doing anything for me and I’m just normal now. I called Dr. Selma’s office and told then that I didn’t want to continue. They said whatever I did was my choice, and if I ever needed them, they would be here for me. Within a few weeks all of my previous symptoms returned. I called back and told them that I had forgotten how much the hormones were helping me, and wanted to restart the program. I really thank them for their patience and support. Life without hormone balance is miserable.
– T.W.
I was sick of the hot flashes, keeping awake at night because I was either too hot or too cold. Once I started the hormones, immediately I was sleeping better. The night sweats and hot flashes went way. But what was amazing is how my mood and day-to-day functioning got better. The power of our hormones is incredible; I would not give it up for the world.
– C.S.
I didn’t know how so many of our body functions rely on hormone balance. I started taking hormones to prevent osteoporosis. I could not tolerate the medication I was given to make my bones stronger. Over the course of one year, my DEXA scan has become normal. The technician said, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it!’ I have a strong family history of osteoporosis. I thought I would suffer like my mother. I am so grateful to have such a natural and safe treatment. Thank you again.

My mother has Alzheimer’s disease. When my memory started to decline, I became depressed and felt helpless. Since I started hormone replacement with Dr. Selma’s regimen, I definitely see an improvement in my mental function. I hope she is always there for us, we really need this.
– K.M.
I had hormone pellets placed in by buttock area from another doctor. For the first month I felt great, after the next few months everything began to deteriorate. I felt worse than before, the doctor wanted to put more pellets in me. I heard Dr. Rashid speak at an event. Everything she said made sense. After I started Dr. Rashid’s program, I began to feel normal. It took several months for the effects of the pellets to go way. Now I feel the way I did years ago. I believe in her science and logic. I thank her for all her efforts in getting me balanced.
– J.S.
I’ve been using the bioidentical hormones for six months now. I’ve noticed a definite improvement in my libido and my hot flashes have stopped. I’m sleeping through the night and no longer experiencing drastic mood swings. I feel balanced and so grateful!.
– G.T.
Such an amazing experience at the Ash Center. The doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and caring. I have not been able to get such comprehensive care anywhere else. Dr. Lyon is incredible at diagnosing problems to get to the root of the problem. So many other doctors just focus on the systems but the approach at the Ash center is to figure out what is out of balance that contributes to the cause of the symptoms and work on that. I have never felt better thanks to the excellent doctors and staff at the Ash Center.
– Carrie B
Family owned and operated by two of the most incredible people and doctors I know. The Lyon’s have put together an incredible team that offers the best of integrative and functional medicine.

I am extremely pleased with the results of this procedure. Over the past six months I noticed an increased energy level, more restful sleep, mental sharpness and an overall increased activity level. My sexual stamina also improved! I would recommend this treatment to others who want to feel better in every aspect of their lives.
– Chris
I have had hot flashes for over 10 years and have tried numerous conventional hormones and natural remedies without much success. My sex drive was almost non-existent. I was fatigued and depressed. Almost instantly after my first pellet insertion I found relief! I would highly recommend the BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy; it’s a life saver!
– SF
Hormone therapy has improved my hot flashes to the point that I have forgotten that I had them.
– Chandra
After my Hysterectomy, my hormones dropped dramatically. Once I was established on the proper Bioidentical Hormones, I felt like I was 29 again!
– Kathy S.
Going thru menopause was horrible! I suffered with hot flashes, mood swings, could not sleep and zero interest in sex.
– Susie H.
The Bioidentical Pellet therapy was easy, painless and I only have to have the tiny pellets inserted every 4 months. Thank you for making me feel young, healthy and normal again.
My vaginal tissues became very thin and dry about 2 years ago; plus I began have bladder urgency, frequency and incontinence. Sex became very painful and I had no interest whatsoever. After 8 months of adjusting my sub-lingual bioidentical hormones, everything improved. My husband is definitely happy and I don’t have to wear those pads anymore.
– Mary S.
I can’t believe how much better I feel on my hormones. I have more energy; I feel more emotionally stable; less stressed out; and definitely sleeping better.
– Joan B.
These bioidentical hormones are the best thing I have ever done. They control my PMS; I do not have the severe mood swings every month; my sex drive is incredible; and my energy is super good. I feel so much younger and healthy, now I work out every day and have lost over 25 lbs. Thank You, Dr. Mays!
– Karen S.
“This put the spice back into my marriage, and now it seems as though my husband can’t keep his hands off of me! I am so grateful to Dr. Scheinberg and his staff; they took the best care of me on this journey. Any doctor who gives me their personal cell number for emergencies is a keeper in my book!”
– R.S.
“If you had asked me three months ago which of Snow White’s dwarfs I resembled, I would have said Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, and Sneezy! I was experiencing all of the typical symptoms of menopause, fearing that this is what life had in store for me at “This Age.” I was exercising and eating healthy, but my waistline continued to grow, lack of sleep made it difficult to function, and between my allergies and hot flashes, I was miserable. After 90 days of following Dr. Bloom’s protocol, I was a new woman. My husband was so amazed by my progress that he is planning a visit to the biostation, too!”
– Jeanne
“My experience with Dr. Bloom at the biostation has been amazing. The care I have received has been one of a kind. Before I began my therapy I had no energy, libido, stamina or a positive state of mind. Three months later after following the regimen specifically designed for my individual needs by Dr. Bloom, I feel like a different person. My energy levels have skyrocketed, and I have a very positive mental state now. My muscle mass has returned and I have also been able to reduce my body fat percentage. My libido has returned and it is better than I ever remember. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Bloom and the biostation over and over again to anyone wanting to make a significant, measurable change in their personal health.”
– Todd
I contacted Dr. Bloom on the advice of a friend shortly after turning 58. Felt old and rundown. Dr. Bloom set me up with a personalized program. Now, about six weeks into the program, I’m feeling much better and have gotten back into the gym with good results. I’m already hearing things like ‘I would never have guessed you to be in your late 50’s.’ the biostation is great.
– Scott
For years I have been struggling with energy, libido and lack of drive. Meeting the biostation team has changed my life. I look and feel like I’m 30 again and now live a healthier, happier life. I feel ALIVE again!
– Rick
Not only did the biostation help me find a new meaning in life with my health, the customer service and time to help me understand everything was priceless. A true group of professionals that know the business better than anyone. The physician really was extremely thorough with his full examination and blood work review. I would recommend the biostation team to anyone to achieve better health & better quality of life!
– Martin
Three years ago I was going through the roughest time in my life. I was overweight, no energy, and feeling like I was old! I was referred to the biostation and it’s been the best 3 years of my life. I have a newfound meaning of what being healthy and living life to the fullest means. People don’t even recognize me. The programs that the biostation’s network of doctors and consultants helped me with have been without a doubt life saving! Thank you to the biostation, you have a client for life.
– Johnathan
Initially when I walked into the Dr’s office, I was suffering from fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, irregular sleep patterns and other perimenopausal symptoms. Within 2 months of treatment, many of these issues started to disappear. After 5 months on Hormone Therapy, now I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in 10 years. Sleep has improved dramatically, and I have no hot flashes and I’m able to focus and concentrate again! My energy has skyrocketed! Life is good again and you guys will have a patient for life! Cannot thank you enough for everything you do! Thank you to the biostation!
– Susanna
After menopause I had the worst sweats, mood swings and lack of sex drive. the biostation literally saved my marriage. Every step of the way from setting up for blood work to helping me understand what is wrong with my health to the promptness in getting my medication. The attention to my health and blood work far exceeded any other doctors.
– Angela
After years of being misdiagnosed by my old Hormone Replacement Therapy company I found the biostation. After getting blood work and visiting the Doctor I knew this was the best option. Sure enough 5 years later my health is better than 20 years ago, I am more active than most people within 10 years of my age and I can finally sleep like a baby. Best network of professionals by FAR.
– Hugh
I am 56 years old and am a practicing Chiropractor. I have been on the BEST program for over a year. I was feeling tired and sluggish, carrying 20 pounds more than I wanted, and had a low libido and all the other things that go with it. Dr. Fisher put me on Bioidentical hormones, HGH and Thyroid pills. I have lost the 20 pounds and am going for another 10! I feel great, am working out 3 times a week and feel much stronger. My libido is back to what it was in my 30’s and my husband couldn’t be happier. I would recommend this program as a physician and as a patient. Thank you to all the BEST program Team!
I am a 69-year old editor that is enjoying the best upper body muscle definition I have ever had–thanks I’m sure to my weekly testosterone injections. I walk 60 minutes a day, lift weights 3-4 times a week, spend much time fishing and diving, and have lots of energy. Sex is better, even my eyesight is better, I don’t need reading glasses for restaurant menus anymore (didn’t know testosterone could do that, but I looked it up, it can.) Am so happy I did this!
The BEST Program has changed my life for the better. I have so much more energy and am thinking so much clearer. I am most grateful for the personable staff. Everyone is just so easy to talk to, attentive to my needs and seem like they have been my friends forever.
I am a 57 year old, professional in the automotive industry and the BEST program has allowed me to maximize my exercise routines and show real results in a short period of time.

I am a 46 year old female. I am a Nurse Practitioner. I started seeing Dr. Fisher a year ago. I have been suffering with very bad PMS and lack of energy. Dr. Fisher started me on his protocol with Bio identical hormones and supplement suggestion. I am happy to report that my PMS has gotten better and I have more energy. His staff is very friendly, proficient and helpful.
I am a 36 year old law enforcement professional and have been using the BEST Program for 3.5 months. Thanks to the help of Dr. Fisher and his knowledgeable staff, my life has changed.
I am 52 years old, retired Orthopedic Physician Assistant. Dr. Fisher has given me my knees back. I am able to lung deeper and squat lower than I ever have. I am also able to tolerate 2 gym sessions per day. The first being lifting with cardio intervals.
After being on the BEST program for little under a year, I have been able to remove all medications for Fibromyalgia. I have lost weight, increased energy and been able to sleep through the night.
– I am enjoying being a full time Mom!
The hormones you recommended are a God send. I had such dry skin and was cold all the time. I was so irritable, anxious, and nervous and sleep was nearly impossible due to night sweats. The heart racing is gone and I now love all of the energy and we are having more sex than when we first met. Even the bladder problems are gone. I even got the gym membership and am exercising once again! I now know why Suzanne Somers raves about Bio-identical hormones – they are great!
– Realtor
I suffered with the worst post menopausal symptoms including hot flashed and sweats and my mood was so bad. I am now a ‘BEST patient!’ and have my life back. So much more energy and my sex life is back. My husband is going to come see you next week – he can’t believe the change in me!
– Bookkeeper
I saw another specialty clinic for erectile dysfunction and wasn’t happy. Your treatments not only fixed he problem and I also look so much better and have the sexual energy I had in my twenties. I use the Viagra you gave me however at times rely on the injections. I am happy you offer both the hormone replacement as well as the ED injections. My wife and I are very happy with the program!
– Retired Airline Pilot
Five years’ post-menopause, and I was suffering from night sweats, hot flashes, weight gain and fatigue. Even though I trained for triathlons, my body was gaining unwanted fat and I just didn’t feel like I could remember I the way that I used to. That was when I decided to take back control of my life by calling Earl Eye at Cenegenics Jacksonville. My Executive Health Evaluation revealed I was experiencing metabolic and hormonal changes that no amount of dieting or exercise could correct. Dr. Eye put together a plan for me and reoptimized all my hormones and prescribed a number of nutraceutical supplements. Together, these changes corrected my metabolic imbalances and got rid of my menopausal symptoms. Cenegenics’ nutritionist and exercise physiologist also made some tweaks to my existing eating and exercise regimen. I’m now Fifty and Fabulous! You too can look and feel fabulous at any age post-menopausal and functioning at your highest level.
– Mary Corry, RN, BSN
Thank you for reassuring me that you only select the best for me. I believe it to be very true. YES! It feels GREAT to feel GREAT again! I’m in awe of the changes. I don’t think I could thank you enough if I tried!
– Shawn
Most thorough evaluation I’ve had in my life. This is the way medicine should be practiced. I’m so glad I took this step. Already feeling better about myself.
– Dr. D.P.
Superior knowledge and care with genuine concern was so much more than I ever expected. Knowing that you ‘care’ gets my attention more than anything.
– Dr. R. H.
It was the most comprehensive evaluation of my health status that I’ve ever experienced.
– Dr. M. K.
My energy levels have increased dramatically. My moods are more consistent, I think clearer and am much more focused. I am sleeping better and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and in a good mood. I just finished a huge project that was very demanding and never ran short of energy or felt that I could not handle the workload.
– K.
The program has changed my life completely and I encourage any and every person who has these symptoms to get on board. No more fatigue, lots of energy, sleep throughout the night restfully, lost 10 lbs so far, not even trying
– S.W.
I feel younger, I feel vibrant, I feel so much better about life. It’s a complete body and mind change. The difference between doing the Cenegenics program and not doing the program is amazing. I can’t imagine ever going back to feeling the way I did before I started.
– K.F.
My name is Jack. I recently took my mother to see Dr Zayed because she had not been feeling well for over a year and none of her Doctors could figure out was was wrong with her. At one Point her Primary physician told her “I think it’s all in your mind” and was planning to refer her to a Psychologist. My mother had been suffering from severe fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety and insomnia. On her first evaluation, Dr Zayed gave her hope and assured her that she was not “going crazy”. With a comprehensive evaluation he was able to figure out what was wrong with her and within a few weeks of treatment my mother’s symptoms had improved and she continues to feel much better.
– Thank you Dr Zayed for giving my mother quality of life again!
I Feel Great Thanks to Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
I first heard about BodyLogicMD through a high school friend of mine; she is in her 40’s, a working mom with 2 young kids and has the energy to train for triathlons. This was especially impressive since she had never been very active. When I asked her how she did it, she told me how everything had changed for her when she started bioidentical hormone therapy with BodyLogicMD. I take pretty good care of myself; I eat healthy and work out 5 or 6 times a week. However, over the last few years I just didn’t have the energy I once had. Getting up in the morning was the worst; partly due to the night sweats which kept me from a good night sleep. After providing all my lab work I met with Dr. Lee to discuss my symptoms and he put me on a customized program. I’ve been on the program for 4 months now and I feel great. I feel rested in the morning, my night sweats are totally gone and I have so much more energy and stamina when I work out.
– Laura P.
I was Always Tired to the Point of Exhaustion
I went to see Dr. Lee of BodyLogicMD Miami after reading an article in the Miami Herald about him. I was always tired to the point of exhaustion, even making things like driving dangerous. I had been feeling drained all the time, no matter what I did. I had gone to several other doctors who summed it up to old age, and to deal with it. That was not acceptable to me so I went and saw Dr. Lee. After a thorough consultation, he ordered blood and saliva tests that revealed my hormone imbalance. Now he checks in with me all the time, and is very thorough. I want to thank BodyLogicMD and specifically Dr. Lee for helping me with Bioidentical Hormones. I have been on the testosterone pellet therapy for almost two years. The difference I feel is remarkable. I am back to being very active and do not feel the same level of exhaustion I used to feel. I am now performing daily activities as I did when I was younger. My mental alertness has allowed me to proceed with working on completing my Masters.

He is one of very small group of physicians that understands the root of America’s disease burden and all important solutions. His political work through the AMA and Florida Medial Society place him in a unique position to impact millions of lives. It is with the greatest honor that I offer my highest recommendation for Dr. Corey Howard
– Scott Stoll, M.D.
Dr. Corey Howard is a detail oriented outstanding Physician. I entrust my physical well being to Dr. Howard’s skills. He has a warm and friendly manner, and has given me only the best advice for my best health.
– Scott Dresden, M.D.
Dr. Harlan, I would like to thank you again for your kind services today at your office. I made it home safely after a long drive… God has given you a gift of kindness and I thank you for sharing that with me. I feel I have been blessed today. Thank you again so much for giving your time to help me… God bless you always!

I have been working with Dr. Bieley for some months now and this has proven to be a great decision. There is so much in the way of anecdotal ‘medicine’ or ‘cures’ that it is pretty hard to wade through it all. On the other hand, the traditional get sick and then we cure t he problem was not acceptable either. I did have fatigue issues and many of the other aspects of aging. At 74, I would like to fell (sic-feel) and perform at something closer to 45, mentally and physically.
As an engineer, I really appreciate the process of adjusting various intakes and then carefully monitoring the impact with proper lab work. Eliminates the guess work. I feel energetic and mentally perform very well. Just completed some new patent filings that are complex and difficult. Not sure I could have done so before starting these treatments.

I came to see Dr. Bieley after suffering from menopausal-related anxiety and general sleeplessness for 7 years. During those 7 years, I sought out various specialists, including my general practitioner and 3-4 different OB – GYN’s. I was given various RX’s over those years and ended up on clonazepam to ease the anxiety. That was the best they could do. I read with interest all of Suzanne Somer’s books, especially those on hormone imbalance. I subscribed to websites for women suffering from my same “disease”. I decided that if I wanted to cure myself, I needed to be pro-active. And I found Dr. Bieley. After an initial appointment, Dr. Bieley ordered various urine, saliva and blood testing. He immediately recommended some supplements for me to take and books for me to read. After all of the testing came back, we met a second time. At this appointment I received a supplement and certain lifestyle change recommendations. It appeared that one of my main problems was cortisol-related. After reading a book about adrenal gland function, I realized that most medical doctors are not trained in cortisol-related symptoms unless severe; many general problems related to sleeplessness, weight gain and anxiety never get resolved at a traditionally-trained doctor’s office.
In approximately 3 months, I was sleeping through the night and my anxiety had all but disappeared! While I knew that menopausal hormone balance existed, I frankly couldn’t believe that supplements and some minor lifestyle changes could change my entire outlook on life. But they have, and I am living testimony of this. Thank you Dr. Bieley, you have changed my life.

I was born a ‘blue baby’ and have had nasty respiratory infections my entire life. I caused an asthmatic reaction by getting chilled for an extended period of time on Thansgiving evening. At 4am I knew I had bronchitis, again. Dr. Bieley prescribed the appropriate medicine plus gave me a list of supplements he insisted I needed to take. Not only am I impressed with his knowledge and passion, I was blown away because my lungs stayed absolutely 100% clear! I cannot thank him enough!
– Laurie Souders
Dr. Bieley is a wonderful, compassionate physician who has greatly improved the quality of our son, Mark’s life. Mark suffers from depression and anxiety and for years was given one medication after another by physicians who didn’t take the time to investigate if there could be a biological reason for his depressed state. It got to the point where Mark was on such a high dosage of anti-depressants (that weren’t working) that he was constantly sad and in a fog.
Dr. Bieley’s extensive information gathering and lab testing revealed several things that very well could be major factors in his depression. He gathered all of the test results and prescribed a custom supplement that contains exactly what Mark’s system needed. We have already seen a major improvement in Mark’s mental and physical state and want to extend our gratitude to Dr. Bieley.

I have been seeing Dr. Bieley for 6 months now and I feel alive for the first time in 2 years. I was having problems with sever fatigue and could not get help from my GP who did all the usual tests and sent me to all the usual specialists. They all said I was fine and my blood work was perfect, I just didn’t feel fine! I would sleep 10 hours a night and most of the day. Since seeing Dr. Bieley and having lots of supplements and a few prescription drugs, I have energy and feel alive again. I was having all kinds of stomach problems; gas, bloating, discomfort which my regular Doc said was normal. I am a firm believer in Functional doctors and their way of treating the whole body and fixing the problem rather than just getting rid of the symptoms.
Dr. Bieley is a very caring Doctor. He is excellent at returning phone calls right away, spending s much time as needed with me, answering my many questions and calling to check on me. Thanks, Doctor Bieley for helping me get my life and enthusiasm for living back.
– Kitty Perry
Dr. Bieley is an unbelievably caring and attentive physician. He takes all the time necessary to fully address your complete life health profile. For years as a young child I assisted my father, a dentist, by making dental fillings for his patients. Because of this work, I was exposed to excessively high levels of mercury. It was Dr. Bieley’s testing that finally provided answers to the question of why I felt so sick. The tests showed that my heavy metal levels were three times that of a normal person. Literally, it was a wonder that I was alive. It’s no stretch to say that Dr. Bieley saved my life. For the first time in a long time my symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are at bay. I don’t know when I’ve felt better.
An important component of Dr. Bieley’s approach is the series of forms he used to question me about my present medical condition, my life and past experiences. The combination of testing and a thorough biography of my medical care and health were his initial keys to success. Dr. Bieley is incredibly tenacious and sincere. From the very first meeting, he gives you hope. Anyone facing a similar situation would do well to see Dr. Bieley. He practices amazing, customized medicine.
– Catherine Peters
I’ve only been seeing Dr. Bieley for a short while. And, already I am better now than I have been in years. My own Father told me I looked like a walking corpse; such was the level of my fatigue and general malaise. I really felt horrible prior to visiting Dr. Bieley. Physically, I was at rock bottom. Every other doctor I spoke to said my condition was a product of the natural aging process, and that as a 43 year old woman my experience was normal. From the moment I met with Dr. Bieley I knew I was in the right hands. He told me my total lack of vitality wasn’t normal and that he would get to the bottom of it. In just one week, I began to see the turnaround. And, we are still progressing fantastically.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Bieley’s combination of care, compassion and passion for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone seeking personalized medical care.

“I truly believe things happen for a reason and our paths were meant to cross. You have given me the feeling of health, wellness and energy, which I will appreciate forever. I can’t measure my appreciation with words. For the first time in my life, I don’t feel lethargic during the day. Without caffeine, I have an amazing energy and vibrancy that is new to me. Maybe I was I was sick all my life and just never was diagnosed with deficiencies that you corrected. For the past year, I was extremely sick. I had bloodwork, an MRI, ultrasounds and many other unpleasants test because I was lethargic, had stomach pains and was overall very ill. After our consultation, in which you spend a long time with me with compassion and understanding, you diagnosed me quickly. Along with feeling well and energetic, I also think clearer and with focus. I always thought I had slight ADD. Thanks Dr. Bieley!
– Jane Rumbaua
Dr. Bober and his staff are very warm and welcoming. Every time I see Dr.Bober he always brings a smile to my face as he exclaims “Good morning handsome!!” When I leave he always tell me “God bless and be good!” He is a wonderful human being and doctor
Dr Bobor was very professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. I was well pleased with the treatment I received.
My opinion… Dr. Bober and his staff have excellent bedside manner. He will never charge you for things that you do not receive and if it happens it is a mistake. Him and his staff are very polite and funny. He and his staff are patient with their patients. I feel that he treats all patients as if they were family. If you do not like their care and attention please feel free to find another doctor, but I can tell you that you will not find a better doctor than Dr. Bober.
I came into Success by Design because of my listed symptoms and because I heard great things about Dr. Horner and the staff. At first, I was only interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy but was also looking at diet as well. After completing the necessary labs I started HRT and diet modification without prescribed supplements. I was using Xenadrine and told Dr. Horner who suggested I not use that product anymore and to give the HRT a chance to get me motivated and the diet to help as well. After a month I noticed a big change in my attitude and feelings. I began losing weight slowly. I then asked to try prescribed supplements. I was cleared by EKG and began with the supervised diet supplements with the HRT. This proved to be a great decision. My energy began to increase within a few months. I was eating better and not craving foods that were not good for me. I continued to have more energy and was using that energy in the gym and by walking most days. I only had to use the appetite suppressants for a few months to get me started.
Just over one and half years later, I weighed in last week at 206 and body fat of 22%. Everyone has noticed I am back in shape and I am much happier. People find it hard to believe I am 50 years old, and I truly do not feel it! My hair strangely seems to have lost most of its gray and is actually looks the same from 20 plus years ago. My high blood pressure is gone and I am off the blood pressure medication now for 3 months. My labs are all normal. I am not depressed about how I look and feel. My sleep is so much better that I hardly need my alarm clock to wake. My Libido is just like when I was 20. I owe all this to Dr. Horner and her staff for all the positive encouragement and support. I am now back in the gym to add muscle and I plan on doing body sculpting at Succuess by Design for my abs and flanks (progress pictures to come). I strongly recommend anyone thinking about HRT and diet to come to Success for an assessment and join up. It is truly life changing!
– Mike L.
I have wanted to explore Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy but never found anyone I felt confident to really listen and explain until I met Dr. Tami Horner at Success by Design. Dr. Horner takes a lot of time with me and her explanations are comprehensive. I look and feel like a new woman thanks to Success by Design’s hormone therapy and weight loss program!

I saw this photo on facebook. I had always known I was big- and getting bigger, but this photo truly stopped me in my tracks. I told myself, “I have to DO something”. I already had been told my blood pressure was borderline and my cholesterol levels were “on the high side”. I was badly unfit. I had strangely convinced myself that my clothes were shrinking in the laundry!!!!! I had depression. I was tired 24/7. Of course, it doesn’t help that I work night shifts too so I already was fighting fatigue… I was having awful migraines almost every month. Let me just tell you that Imitrex is NOT CHEAP!!!! I also had to take prilosec. I have hypothyroidism. I really found it very easy to sleep and stay in bed and not do anything at all. I knew I had to do something- and that I couldn’t do it alone. I needed some help! So my friend had recommended Sherri and the good people at Success by Design. I had nothing to lose but a ton of weight so I went in there and have never looked back.
I never in a million years would think I would be able to stick at it like I have. Many of my friends will tell you how I have laughed at them for eating “rabbit food and fresh air”… But I went in for my first appointment and sat there laughing as I browsed through the information brochure thinking this is going to be my new way of life… how will I ever do it????? I must be the most un-domestic person I know!!! My first shopping trip to the grocery store took me forever as I had nothing at home to start with, I HATE HATE HATE cooking, I HATE taking the time to prepare food… But I stood there and told myself I have to get on with it. So I did. I have learned so much! I started to lose weight very quickly!!!
It is all now second nature to me. I read labels. I know what to look for and what to avoid. I do NOT feel deprived at all!!!!!! It is unbelievable… but it’s true. I have been taking my own meals to work, and yes, I do prepare it myself. I have found lots of easy ways to prepare my own food with not much stress. Let me just say that I could not have done this at all without lots and lots of help and support. My friends have been incredible! But the weekly visits to Success by Design have really got me through a lot of tough times and have really been wonderful. I also have a lot of new friends at the clinic because they are all awesome people! If I can do it ANYBODY can! Thanks so MUCH Success by Design!!

Dr. Chan has been our family doctor for over 12 years. We love him. The only thing that is a little difficult to swallow is the long wait to see him, but that is understandable given he is so popular. He is worth the wait so we’ll just set aside that much extra time for any appointment we schedule with him.
– Star B
Nice clean office with a friendly staff. They have their own lab, so you don’t have to go somewhere else to get testing done. Overall a good experience.
– David L.
Dr. Chan’s office is amazing. My first visit was the other day and Jessica Ray was the doctor that saw me. She was absolutely wonderful and listened to my concerns and genuinely cared. I read the reviews and nothing bad was said about this doctor’s office and I completely agree.
– Rhea Case
Dr Chan and his staff are just the best. A refreshing approach to the difficult world of healthcare. Dr Chan listens carefully, involves you in your decisions, and offers both Eastern and Western solutions. All the nurses and office staff are prompt, courteous and let you know you are important, not just another number. The most thorough assessments and reasonable solutions. You won’t be disappointed.

My experience with Dr. Cole has far exceeded any I have had with previous physicians. Dr. Cole has helped me overcome a multitude of challenges in my journey towards the attainment of an optimal level of health. For the first time I feel like I have a doctor who genuinely cares about helping me get better in the most efficient and effective way possible. His vast array of knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to do whatever it takes to find answers separate him from other physicians.
– A.S.
First relief I have had in 5 days. Thank you for hooking me up with Dr. Cole today. Between the silver IV, Aveno bath and crushed aspirin in Vaseline intensive care lotion I have no pain for the moment. Looking forward to getting some sleep.
– B.F.
It was incredible, he was able to identify and address the underlying imbalances of my body at a cellular level and clearly explained my test charts depicting every organ and function in my body. The whole staff is really nice and knowledgeable. Im happy!

I had been feeling OK and thought to myself that this is what my life was going to be like learning to live with my thyroid problems… all the extra pounds, the constant fatigue, every afternoon curling up to take a nap. I had seen a highly recommended doctor in the area who was widely published and had also spent thousands of dollars at the Mayo Clinic trying to get to the bottom of my problems, so I was quite sure this was as good as it was going to get. It was my daughter who found Dr. Bradshaw at the Vital Well-being Center for me… and I thank God every day she did!!!!
Here was someone who listened to me and did not sit there watching the clock. Her easy manner and quick smile put me at ease as I talked to her. I have now been seeing the doctor for about a year and a half and today I am a totally different woman. The wellness that I now enjoy is truly incredible and you can be sure I never ever miss an appointment with Dr. Bradshaw… they are the equivalent of pure gold to me. I travel extensively with my family again-once something to be dreaded; I am very active again in my art career and also in the family horse business. I think to myself who is this new woman with such vitality and such a positive outlook on life. With Dr. Bradshaw’s help I have come back home to the true me.
– Anne
My name is Barbara and I had some health issues at the age of 58 that were diagnosed by Dr. Bradshaw at the Vital Well-Being Center to be hormone and thyroid related. I am interested in homeopathies, herbal and natural healing if and when possible. A beautiful lady working in a health food store recommended Dr. Bradshaw at the Vital Well-Being Center. It has been an amazing experience. She is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, but also practices Integrated Medicine. That was what I was looking for. They ran the saliva test and prescribed the bio identical hormones. We have had to make a few adjustments as my body would take on too much or not enough. My thyroid medication also a compound, so in my concept both Rx’s are compounded for me personally.
Dr. Bradshaw takes the time to talk to you and see what you are about. I have always been in to nutrition too, but sometimes we don’t know exactly what we need. Dr. Bradshaw recommended I see Dr. Elaine Onofrey, who is a doctor of Oriental Medicine and acupuncture. She is a great healer. She was able to help me cleanse my body of aluminum, which was making my legs jump. More than restless leg syndrome, they seriously would fly off the bed. My dad had Parkinsons, it is known that aluminum is a contributor so I was glad to be clear of it. I am now on the right supplements for me. When I don’t need them anymore, they make the appropriate changes. I could go on about both these Doctors, but I must also say that this is the best office to visit.
The nurses and the ladies who are at the front desk, treat each call, each person, each visit as if you are the only one in the house, while taking care of others too. Wonderful smiles and always upbeat! They are precious women. The only down side to feeling healthy, is you don’t have a reason to visit this office!! I say treat yourself to health…visit the Vital Well-Being Center.
– Barbara
My name is Kathy and I would like to tell you a little about myself before I went to see Dr. Bradshaw at Vital Well-Being Center. I had been on conventional hormones for about 20 years and on thyroid medication for about 8 years. I also had been diagnosed with sleep apnea an was using a C-pap machine. Needless to say I was OVERWEIGHT! So much so, I had a high sugar count and was borderline diabetic. I, also, have had allergies and asthma for years. Those are just the medical conditions I had. My energy level, well… I had none. I couldn’t even enjoy a day at Disneyworld with my grandkids. It was difficult keeping up with them and then I was out of breath and sweating profusely. My first appointment with Dr. Bradshaw at the Vital Well-Being Center was in August of 2008. When I first thought of going to see her all I wanted was to loose weight. By the time of my appointment, my ankles and feet were so swollen and sore you would have thought I was pregnant. Not possible. It was then I realized that the most important thing for me was to get healthy. When Dr. Bradshaw said it would take a year or two to get my health to where I wanted to be I thought that is too long. Like most overweight people I wanted immediate results. Then, I seriously thought about it. It took me years to get in this shape and it wasn’t going to change overnight.
I changed my way of eating, ditched the diet coke and started eating more salads. I also changed to bio-identical hormones and desiccated thyroid medications. It didn’t take long till I was feeling better and my weight as starting to drop. I know they say you can’t loose weight as you get older, YES it is harder but it CAN be done. I am 61 years old and I have lost 73 lbs!! I no longer have sleep apnea or diabetes! Now I can outlast my grandkids at Disney. I feel as if I have been given a new lease on life. Thank you Dr. Bradshaw and Vital Well-Being Center for helping me to become a healthy person again
– Kathy
For years I’d been searching for a doctor who would be the perfect bridge between the allopathic and holistic approaches to health and healing… Despite my healthy lifestyle, I had been feeling increasingly uncomfortable and unwell. I knew I needed help. I was delighted to find Dr. Les Cole at Vital Well-Being in Tarpon Springs! He is a medical doctor with extensive experience in functional and preventive medicine. He is very knowledgeable about supplements, nutrition, bio-identical hormones and other remedies that contribute to long-term well being. He is sincerely interested in the whole person: body, mind and spirit.
Dr. Cole reviewed my history, listened to me compassionately, prescribed appropriate tests, thoroughly reviewed results, patiently answered my questions and suggested a plan of action that was as natural as possible. I’m feeling much better. As I get stronger, we continue to modify the strategy. Dr. Cole has become a trusted wellness-care partner. My appointments with him are informative, encouraging and enjoyable. He obviously loves assisting his patients in becoming healthier and improving quality of life. Alternative health-care can be pricey. Dr. Cole is worth it and so am I.

I use to be 260 lbs. At age 24, I had routine blood work done and found out I had high cholesterol and was borderline diabetic. I had to make a change. I began the protein modification diet back in July of 2010, because I refused to get bariatric surgery, knowing I was capable of making a change. Because of my low carb, low calorie lifestyle, and of course exercising, I can proudly say two years later I weigh 150 lbs.
– Amy C.
My name is Elana and this is my story: After graduating high school, I had to move out from my parents house which made me spiral out of control and suddenly gained 25lbs within 6 months. I stopped exercising, going out, doing the things I loved. I immediately decided to take advantage of the support from Doctors Best and decided to begin their weight loss program. I dropped 10lbs the first two weeks. I never felt restricted or deprived, and I enjoyed the flexibility and freedom the plan provided. So far I’ve lost 30lbs and I am no longer embarrassed to go out and do the things I love. I am very grateful to have found a support system such as Doctor’s Best.
– Elana
Dr. Goldman and Staff, I just wanted to write a note of thanks for you care since coming to your practice. Whenever I call with a question or need, your staff is friendly and promptly returns the call and takes care of whatever is needed. It still amazes me when I often actually hear your voice in response to an issue. Not many doctors take the time to be so personal and attentive. Also, you are always very informative and thorough with your answers. Please know that I am very pleased and thankful for the quality of care you provide to your patients!
– With much appreciation, Joan B.
I was referred by two friends that are patients of Dr. Goldman. When I started seeing Dr. Goldman, I had three issues. I had vaginal dryness, sleep issues and weight gain. Dr. Goldman prescribed the estrogen patch and progesterone for me. My symptoms have improved since then. I feel so much better. My vaginal dryness has improved, sex is not painful and my libido is better. I no longer have sleep issues since taking the progesterone. I have lost weight by eating healthier and increasing my exercise. My energy is great and I now feel I am on the right track.
– Marsha
Hi Donna, hope you are doing well. I like the new website! Just wanted to offer a suggestion for the homepage where Dr. Goldman mentions not accepting most insurance plans. I am able to continue coming there because of my health savings account offered by my employer. If people plan for this visit to your office and include that estimated cost in the amount they elect to contribute to health savings for the following year, it makes it very affordable. And worth every penny! Might be a good suggestion to give to people. Personally, coming to your office and having you help me get all of my hormones regulated has improved my quality of life tenfold. I hate the thought of people not having the same opportunity.
– Connie C.
I have been making a 3 hour (one way!) drive up here once a year because I LOVE this practice. They are so courteous and calm and take time to answer all questions and treat you like a whole human being not just a number or body part. Dr. Goldman and Donna, PA are both wonderful as is their staff. I feel like I am in good hands with them, and that they are partners in my health who listen and respect my concerns and opinions. It’s a long drive for me – and the drive can be way more stressful than the visit – but I always leave feeling like it has been worth it.
I absolutely love Dr. Goldman. Been seeing him now since 2011. I live an hour away but will travel for a good doctor! Even since it’s become self-pay I am a loyal patient. Dr. Goldman is excellent at giving you the attention you deserve and giving the best treatment possible. The staff has always been very courteous and good at getting an appointment at a time that’s best for you. I tell any and every one about Georgia Hormones!
So thankful for the care and compassion Dr. Goldman provides. I was miserable for five years before becoming his patient and since then, I have never looked back. He offers suggestions for improving your whole health, rather than just aimlessly prescribing medication to get you through.
Dr. Goldman turned my life around 2 yrs. ago. After being seen by multiple doctors and an endocrinologist he finally was the only doctor who ran extensive labs to diagnose my situation. I consider him my “BFF”. He gave me hope when no other Doctor did.
I started seeing Dr. Rohde when I was almost 36 years old. I will be 37 years old in May 2011. I had heard from my friend that he evaluated hormone levels and worked at regulating female and male hormones to optimal working levels. I had never heard of such a thing. For 12 years!, since the birth of my twins, I have felt “off” and with each subsequent birth, my life slowly drifted away. I could picture, in my mind, who I used to be, but that life was replaced with a daily anti-depressant, debilitating fatigue, and body aches. I was just making it through each day. No joy! No enthusiasm! Just surviving.
I would often look at other people and really wonder if they felt the same way too. Were they as tired as I was? Was life just ho-hum for them as well? Were they are overwhelmed as I was? I would ask my 67 year old mother if she felt like her eyes could slam shut as any given moment? Her answer was No! The effects of my hormonal imbalance were so slow in creeping into my life, that truly trying to decide if there was something wrong with me was difficult. I told myself for a long time that this was just “my normal.” Once I finally decided to call Renew for an appointment, it took me 3 months! to pick up the phone. I was so afraid my symptoms were all in my head… guess what? They weren’t… I really was a mess!!!!
Dr. Rohde’s passion to go beyond what most Ob-Gyn’s and Family doctors traditionally do, has changed my life. That person I would picture in my mind, is slowly, but amazingly, becoming me again! Thank you, Dr. Rohde and your wonderful, caring staff! Sincerely,
– Kari T
I feel better than when I was Young!
– Denise B.
Wonderfully! I feel so much better – I have energy and not depressed over feeling so crappy. Everyone is always friendly and it’s a calm environment

The friendliness – All the people in this office are caring and willing to help you.
The staff are so friendly and down to earth
This is the first time in 10 years that I have clear focus on what I do every day. Amazingly energized!!

I actually enjoy the intimacy my husband and I have now. We seemed to have lost that over the years. I feel like I’m 30 again.

It took about 2 weeks but after starting Dr. Hipskind’s regimen, I no longer feel tired during the day and am able to hit the gym running at 5. I’m down 2 dress sizes and 12 pounds after 2 months and I feel great! No doubt in my mind this works
– Michelle N.
After 1 month, I’ve doubled my press weights, cut my mile time from 10 min to 7:45 best so far…and I’m not stopping there. And my sex life.. OMG!
– Derek J.
“I was very skeptical at first, but I had to try something different. Dr. Hipskind made me feel like a real person, not a number. My first clue was when I called, HE answered the phone. It was the most comforting experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. I walked out knowing that I finally had found a doctor who knows what being healthy really means.

BHRT from Dr. Selma transformed these patients’ lives. It can do the same for yours ‘Best possible treatment for my night time sweats and mood swings. I feel so much better now.’ – V.S.
‘Every time I went to my doctor and told him I was having difficulty sleeping, my libido was low, I was feeling tired and depressed, he told me it’s normal and I’m just getting old. Dr. Selma told me yes, it’s normal – but we have solutions! She was so right! My life is so much better. I feel the way I did years ago. Dr. Selma changed my life.’
– DK
‘My hot flashes went within one week, my depression is gone, I wouldn’t give this up for the world’
– SM
‘I knew something was wrong. No one was able to answer my question. I’m too young to feel the way I did. Dr. Selma measured my hormones. I was not ovulating; my ovaries have aged more than my normal age. I started taking Dr. Selma’s regimen. Within weeks I felt so much happier, sexually normal, my acne is almost gone.’
– NP
‘I was a wreck. I couldn’t sleep through the night for months. I was always tired and irritated. I knew I was difficult to be around. Silly little things would get me in a rage. Then I would feel even worse. I never used to be like this. I came to Dr. Selma after my friend insisted I get help. I really didn’t think I would feel so much better so quickly. Within days my sleep got much better. My mood improved in the first cycle. I’ve been taking Dr. Selma’s hormones for seven months, I feel better in a thousand ways.’
– GH.
‘I’ve been using Dr. Selma’s program for two and a half years. I remember when I started I had so many issues. My libido was gone. I was depressed, anxious and tired. I couldn’t remember simple things, and felt foggy in my brain. Within days of starting hormones, my symptoms began to improve. After about six months I forgot how miserable I had been. I thought the hormones were not doing anything for me and I’m just normal now. I called Dr. Selma’s office and told then that I didn’t want to continue. They said whatever I did was my choice, and if I ever needed them, they would be here for me. Within two weeks I had all of my previous symptoms. I called back and told them that forgot how the hormones were helping me, and wanted to restart the program. I really thank them for their patience and support. Life without hormone balance is miserable.’
– TW
‘I was sick of the hot flashes, keeping awake at night because I was either too hot or too cold. Once I started the hormones, immediately I was sleeping better. The night sweats and hot flashes went way. But what was amazing is how my mood and day-to-day functioning got better. The power of our hormones is incredible; I would not give it up for the world.’
– FR
‘I didn’t know how so many of our body functions rely on hormone balance. I started taking hormones to prevent osteoporosis. I could not tolerate the medication I was given to make my bones stronger. Over the course of one year, my DEXA scan has become normal. The technician said, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it!” I have a strong family history of osteoporosis. I thought I would suffer like my mother. I am so grateful to have such a natural and safe treatment. Thank you again.’
– SW
‘My mother has Alzheimer’s disease. When my memory started to decline, I became depressed. I would rather die than live in a state of mental decline. Since I have started hormone replacement with Dr. Selma’s regimen, I definitely see an improvement in my mental function. I hope she is always there for us, we really need this.’
– KM
‘I had gone to another hormone clinic and had hormone pellets placed in by buttock area. For the first month I felt great, after the next few months everything began to deteriorate. I felt worse than before, the doctor wanted to put more pellets in me. I heard Dr. Rashid speak at an event. Everything she said made sense. After I started Dr. Rashid’s program, I began to feel normal. It took several months for the imbalance of the pellets to go way. Now I feel the way I did a decade ago. I believe in her science and logic. I thank her for all her efforts in getting me balanced.’
– JS. Moline
‘I’ve been using the bioidentical hormones for six months now. I’ve noticed a definite improvement in my libido, my hot flashes have stopped, I’m sleeping through the night and no longer experiencing drastic mood swings. I feel balanced now. It’s wonderful!’
– K. G.T.
When I first called, I knew I was on the right track. She treats you as a person, not a number, and is gracious in assisting you in whatever way she can. Nicole and all the nursing staff are highly skilled and most helpful. My medical issues were very challenging, complicated and I had other Drs. who were unable to diagnose me. It was under Dr. Dunal’s extraordinary care that I was finally able to receive an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that helped me recover from my many medical issues. She never made me feel like my medical needs were too much and stayed the course with me through an arduous recovery. I cannot put into words how truly grateful and appreciative I am of her care. She has all the intelligence and wisdom of a great doctor yet possesses a quality that cannot be taught which is a genuine caring towards her clients.
– J.H
I just want to let you know how thrilled I am to have finally found the “PERFECT DOCTOR” and the “PERFECT PROGRAM” to optimize my health! Believe me, I have done my homework (including meetings with the founder of Cenegenics) and I’ve found your program to be the ultimate cocktail.
– Mary Caris
I have searched a lifetime for calm energy. Over many years, my regular doctors were not successful in helping me lead a more active and healthy life. Time and time again, I received the same old traditional approaches and responses from my doctors with little or no realistic results.
– Janice Goldman Picker
I’m amazed at how much my body has already changed; I’ve worked extremely hard at it, but I have never seen immediate improvements like these in any program anywhere. After only 12 weeks of strictly adhering to Dr. Rosenbloom’s medical regimen, I could place well in any amateur body-fitness contest.
– Hal Fournier
I have been using the estrogen pellets for five years. I feel better than ever. I only used the pills for a short time because they didn’t help. Once I started the pellets, I don’t have hot flashes and many of the problems that go along with menopause. I think that Dr. McLaughlin is one of the finest doctors anywhere and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my life!
– Jill
I am a patient of Dr Regina Forster going back to 2011. When I first saw her I was dealing with hot flashes and night sweats every day. I also felt tired, had sleepless nights, memory was gone. My thyroid was a mess as well. I was a walking toxic mess. My B-12 and D-3 were off the charts! After meeting her and her husband, Andreas Schmitz and getting blood work done, they went over my eating habits, generally my life style and discussed what changes I needed to make if I wanted to get better. I was so surprised that Functional medicine really looks at the whole picture of your health. Within a month she was able to get my hormones balanced with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy no more migraines, sleeping so much better and stopped the hot flashes and night sweat!!!! Did I mention she gave me back my life! She was able to get me off depression and sleeping meds as well. If you want a Dr that cares about you as a person and your health and looks at getting your health back from a holistic approach call her. Both Dr Forster and her husband, Andreas Schmitz have a team approach to my well being. I am so grateful that I found them.
– Kitty W.
My work with Drs. Schmitz and Forster have exceeded all expectations of how life could be. I have greater vitality, energy, and libido than I did even 15 years ago, and things are only getting better. This is a very different experience than what I thought I would have in my 60’s. Mental clarity is heightened and physical stamina is sustained through the day. Dr. Schmitz and Dr. Forster go far beyond hormonal restoration. For those who wish to express their full potential, these doctors are capable of fine-tuning the human experience with expert knowledge in diet, supplements, bioidentical hormones, meditation, and psychological development.
– Len W.
After having a total hysterectomy, I felt decades older than my actual age. As a nurse with many years of gynecological experience, I understood why, but didn’t want to believe that this was how I was going to feel for the rest of my life. Now that I have been a patient of Dr. Forster and Dr. Schmitz for a year or so, I am feeling more energetic and more like my old self than I have for ages! I convinced my husband to go, and in just 3 months, I can already tell a big difference. I would recommend their practice to anyone who is experiencing age-related changes. It is possible to feel young again!
– Susan S.
Regina Forster, MD did brilliant work with hormone replacement therapy, optimizing key vitamins and hormones in my body to optimize my health.
*It’s important to note that I had changed my eating and excersize habits 2 months before I went to Dr. Forster’s office at Integral Health and have continued these lifestyle changes. After my first consultation, I began taking vitamins and especially compounded creams/ medications for my specific needs. They have this neat weighing apparatus to take your data to determine your body’s age and in just 90 days, my body had transformed from my real age of 54 (at the first visit) to 47 years old!! I’m lovin’ it… more wellness is in my future!! Thx Dr Forster,
– Leanne P.
Any lifestyle change is hard work, but I have found Dr. Forster and Health Coach A. Schmitz to be very supportive and creative in helping me lower the threshold of difficulty and achieve my health goals. The more closely I follow the plan, the greater progress I see. They’ve helped me customize the plan so I like following it, which just gives more success! In two years I have lost over 70 lbs., and I am still losing.
– Kathy J.
Dr. Forster helped manage my hormonal swings with a balanced approach. I had more energy and was able to sleep more peacefully. I was able to focus and avoid mood swings. Everyone around me noticed a difference so it was a win win for all!
– Donna M.
Hi, Dr. Forster, just a note to update you on my treatment. May I say to you again how much better I feel since beginning these treatments with Bioidentical Hormones? I had reached a point of desperation with my symptoms, which ranged from frequent headaches to sleeplessness, incontinence and anxiety. I was depressed from feeling bad for the last few years and finding little to no relief. After approximately 10 months, I can say I have very few headaches, sleep well and have no incontinence. My sense of well being has returned and my outlook on life has improved dramatically. I truly thank God for you! I appreciate the time spent with you and Andreas and for the support and overall health information you both offer
– Alice M.
This diet experience was very rewarding. It made me a healthier and happier person – I just feel better. I have never seen or experienced any diet like this before. I lost 28 lbs and kept 25 lbs off now three month later. And you loose the weight where you want to lose it! It helped me make healthier choices that I still keep up now three month later – keeping the weight loss. Talking to Dr. Regina Forster and Andreas Schmitz, PhD helped me change my lifestyle. My primary care took me off of 7 different medications. I was type 2 diabetic and am now off of all three of my diabetes medicines, I’m off of one blood pressure medicine, off of the cholesterol medicine and off of both the breathing medicines I used to take. If you are a type 2 diabetic, give this program a try! Big plus for me it increased my Golf Game by 20 yards, due to better coordination, better flexibility and better stamina.
– Ronald B.
I was suffering from menopausal symptoms and Dr. Forster gave me back my life!
– Kathleen M.
Thank you so much for saving my life!! I feel like I have my life back and I’m in control! Finding out that I have a hormone imbalance and insulin resistance made me realize that I needed to change my diet and exercise, I have cut out carbs, started exercising, started bioidentical hormones and feel like a new person!!! I have gone to many doctors and knew something wasn’t right, but all they wanted to do was give me a pill. Thank you for teaching me how to change my life!!!
– Tina H.
I found that Dr. Fishman’s IAAM Wellness comprehensive age-management and preventive medicine center has been a Major gift to my health and FEELING SO MUCH BETTER!
“The evaluation was quite extensive, with in-depth laboratory analysis, physical evaluation, and a 2-hour consultation with Dr. Fishman. I was then placed on a wellness program to optimize my health. I like the convenience of taking customized nutrient packets, and I like knowing my nutrients are pharmaceutical-grade and are exactly what I need.”
Since becoming a patient at IAAM, I’ve lost 30 pounds, no longer has high blood pressure or have many other unwanted symptoms. Dr. Fishman only prescribes Bio-Identical Hormones. The Skin Therapy Center has been wonderful for rejuvenation of my skin. So now, I feel and look younger! It truly is a GIFT to my body and THANKS to Dr. Peggy Fishman and her staff.
– Helen Ratterman
I have been under the care of Center for Integrative and Age-Management Medicine for the last 3 years. I am 56 years old and have been in the bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for the duration and for the last year have been taking an HGH maintenance dose. I have had astounding results. I feel like I’m 30 and people guess my age at 45, I’m have the stamina to teach three fitness classes a week, my mental clarity has increased some three fold but the most astounding thing that has happened in the last year is that the vision in my right eye which had an underdeveloped optic nerve has improved from 20/80 to 20/30!
– K. Wilson
I am 54 years old and I started going to Dr. Fishman about 2 years ago. Before going to her, I was using a generic hormone cream. Through blood work and consultations, Dr. Fishman and Stavan have changed my life through bio-identical hormone replacement. I do not have hot flashes, night sweats, bladder problems, trouble sleeping or many other symptoms I could be having. She regulates the supplements I take and has tremendously improved my over all health. I love that she chooses the most natural way to approach any health problem. I am so grateful that I found them at this time of my life. I feel 35!

Several years ago I was sitting in my office about to have what most people would call a nervous breakdown. For about a year it had seemed to me that I had lost energy, focus, drive, and a general sense of well being. I found that I could be reduced to tears frequently and that I just couldn’t seem to manage even the most basic of tasks. I was in a high pressure that I had just adored for years, but in that moment just didn’t care. My self confidence was at an all time low and that had never happened to me before. I would go home at 6:00, put on my pajamas and just sit on the couch. I didn’t even have the energy to cook, which is a real love of mine. In that moment in my office, I said to myself, “Gee, Holly, who the heck are you? I don’t even recognize you anymore.”
I had gone to my doctor and had been told it was my age and to just accept that this was how aging was. I was stunned at that explanation and found that I simply couldn’t accept. So, I did some research and found Dr. Fishman. Both my husband and I went in for a consult. We carefully considered all that the anti-aging plan entailed and decided that life wouldn’t be worthwhile if we didn’t have the energy and health to enjoy it and that we were simply too young to give up. So I got the labs done and sat down with Dr. Fishman. It was in that consult that I discovered how I felt made perfect sense in light of the what was going on inside my body. She put me on a regiment and within 30 days I recognized myself again. I refound my focus, energy, interests, self confidence and sense of well being. Over time I felt better and better and better. I even lost 50 pounds and was back in a size 12. I’m back to running circles around my staff — even those 20 years younger and that’s the way I want it to be. This program is well worth it. I am so glad I found IAAM and recommend it to anybody at any age.
– Holly Helscher
We have been so pleased with the attentiveness by all the staff involved in our care and to all of our many requests. Beside our excellent medical treatment, all of our needs and questions were handled promptly and professionally – and always in a patient and friendly manner.

I’m writing to tell you what a difference you have made in my life. After ten years of migraines, followed by a hysterectomy, autoimmune disorder, thyroid disorder, adrenal disorder, severe weight gain, loss of libido, depression and countless other issues, I had begun to think I would never be well, let alone “thin” again. I tried everything, even tried holistic all natural care for two years without much success and absolutely no weight loss despite dieting and excessive exercising. As a result, I began to seek out answers on my own. In my search for wellness, I came across Suzanne Somers book “Ageless”. The symptoms she mentioned sounded so much like mine I just had to find someone who practiced anti aging medicine (somewhat) near me. Fortunately, that search led me to you.
I began seeing results immediately with the anti-aging program at the Center for Integrative and Age-Management Medicine. After undergoing the most extensive blood testing I’ve ever seen it was determined I was severely deficient in just about everything: pretty much all hormones, all vitamins, all minerals, all essential fatty acids you name it, I needed it. So, you provided a custom plan for me based on my needs and then tweaked it as necessary as we went along. That custom plan has given me my life back. My weight has dropped 35 pounds, from a size 14 to a size 4. My energy levels are back to normal. My sex life is alive and well again. Desire and feeling have returned. My husband and I are most grateful for this. My memory is sharp. The depression is gone. I now have “normal to optimal” and still improving results in most all areas of my blood work. I have regained my confidence and am once again optimistic about life and my health.
Thank you so much for all that you’ve done for me. Thanks to you life is worth living again! Thanks especially for your patience with my many emails and questions. I have referred 3 people to your office so far. I’m sure I’ll be sending more. Sincerely,
– Sherry S.
Dr. Brad helped me with hormone replacement and I feel fabulous. Lost 7 lbs. and gained energy. Feel lake a women in my 30’s again.
Can’t believe the difference how I feel since seeing Dr. Brad. I feel 15 to 20 years younger by just adjusting my hormones slightly. Way to go Revitalife. Also lost weight And feel wonderful.
Dr. Cummins spends quality time with his patients and provides a great service.The price is also a great value – about what you would pay for a month of NutriSystem, but so much better for you!
A continuation of my previous review: My treatment consisted of a vitamin/supplement program, a testosterone pellet injection, a few B12 injections, intensive D3, and a thyroid booster. The results changed my life. Every two months my levels are checked and there has been marked improvement, the blood tests don’t lie. My husband and I are now enjoying a healthy sexual relationship, my energy level has increased, I am now able to go to the gym on a regular basis, I can schedule outings with friends without fear of being overly exhausted, and I have not suffered a migraine since I started. My skepticism is gone, and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Lord and his staff for their continued support with this wonderful new life they have helped me achieve.

The nava has provided a comprehensive approach to determing a course of action needed to address my health concerns. Results have been substantial, i feel like a new person.

Dr. Lord was great. Talked me through everything. I really feel like I’m on a better track for my health.

I had been looking for a doctor like Dr. Beals for 20 years. Dr. Beals discovered that I had high levels of toxic heavy metals in my blood, that my testosterone levels were lower than they should be, and that my body was not absorbing B vitamins. Since I started working with him, I feel healthier than I did when I was 40. My hormones are balanced, the heavy metals have been removed, I’ve lost 4 inches from my waistline, and I’ve gained 10 pounds of healthy muscle mass. Dr. Beals is a rare and valuable asset to all those wise enough to seek his counsel.

I had treatment for ovarian cancer 16 years ago. Following successful conventional treatment, I have explored many alternative therapies, ranging from acupuncture to massage and orthomolecular medicine to yoga. About ten ears ago I became interested in holistic dentistry and learned about mercury toxicity. My husband and I decided then it was important to “invest” in my future by having the doctor remove all the mercury amalgam fillings I had had since the age of 17. Combined with changes in diet and nutrition and other paths to health and healing, I believe this has contributed to the many years I have enjoyed, treatment- and cancer-free. I am impressed with the programs you are offering through the Wellness Center and the Dental Spa. Congratulations on all you are doing to promote holistic health and healing!
I wanted to add, since I have been coming to see the doctor almost bi-weekly for more than a year and it takes an hour or me to get to your office, that once I figured out that on Route 119 I could get food and household supplies I really began to look forward to the visits: The Natural Market in Groton Center, Spring Brook Farm in Littleton, Trader Joe’s and Shaw’s in Acton. And having the Bistro open in the Wellness Center is the best! I appreciate the gluten-free items, great coffee, and excellent selection.
– Carolyn E.
Two years ago I was barely able to function [and] was too sick to work. I couldn’t eat anything without major discomfort, I suffered from tremendous anxiety and I couldn’t sleep. A friend suggested I see a doctor at Groton Wellness and think about having my mercury fillings replaced. I saw them and they helped me with that but did so much more. This amazing man figured out right away what was wrong with me – an overgrowth of candida yeast. I had heard the word before but never knew what it meant and no one else had ever suggested this to me. I went home, did some research and knew I had found the cause of all my problems and more important – I could now work on getting myself healed.
It took some time but I am now a very healthy, happy person and I can eat whatever I like. My healing process involved a multi-faceted approach. The first step was getting my mercury fillings replaced and having a root canal tooth pulled at Groton Wellness Dental Spa. Prior to having this work done, I was very anxious and thought the process would be a huge ordeal.
But the doctor was extremely kind, compassionate and gentle and before I knew it, I was all done. Next, I went on a special diet to combat the candida and was treated with classical homeopathy to get back in balance. I am so grateful to Groton Wellness for helping me get my life back. am enjoying life now and working as a classical homeopath to help others get healthy and balanced.

Dr. Wacks is an exceptional doctor. He is an excellent listener, very precise, informative/explanatory, knowledgeable, thorough and most importantly down to Earth. He took time to get to know me, my health history and my current health concerns. I have never had a physician spend so much quality time talking to me. His amazing listening skills and the quality of time given were unlike any I have ever experienced. His ability to research and dig deeper led to a diagnosis that no other doctor discovered. I am on my back to better health and I have Dr. Wacks to thank for it. I can honestly say that he is the best doctor I have. I will recommend him to everyone!
– Kerry D
Dr. Wacks has really helped me eat healthier and now my blood pressure has lowered, I lost 10 lbs in one month, and I am feeling more energetic and sleeping better. I have wanted to quit smoking for a year and helped me quit. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I would give him 10 stars if I could.
– Doreen B.
Professional, well trained…BUT what makes the difference is his listening skills and patient engagement. He encourages and is not threatened by proactive patients who want to learn and be respected in shared decision making re-health care.

When I first met Dr. Kaye I was in a very bad state, “Adrenal Fatigue” I was depressed, angry, no patience,crying all the time, overweight, no energy, I was miserable, I wanted to die! I had no estrogen, not to mention all my other hormone levels were way off, and my body was toxic due to my diet.
Dr. Kaye went over all my blood work and hormone levels with me. It was so interesting, I wanted to stay all day. He suggested some great books for me to read, (which I did), so that I understood everything that was going on with my body. He also put me on a program combined with bioidentical hormones and vitamins.
I returned to Dr Kaye’s office 4 months later. I think Dr. Kaye was just as surprised as I was, with how well I did with the program he put me on, and me changing my diet/eating habits. My hormone levels were exactly where they were supposed to be. I returned to my normal weight, lost my belly, and had gained 2 pounds of muscle, and I lost 3 pounds of body fat.Today, I am a very happy woman!
Thank you so much Dr. Kaye, you saved my life!”– Janet H.
Turning 60, one year ago, found me super stressed, overweight, depressed, taking way too many prescription medications and angry at the world! The best birthday present to myself was finding Dr. Kaye. He is not your typical, mainstream, cookie cutter doctor who is trained to mostly treat disease with pharmaceuticals. Dr. Kaye is dedicated to tenaciously getting to the bottom of your problems, offering solid solutions and fine tuning a treatment plan that is completely tailored to your body’s unique chemistry and your lifestyle. One year later, I have lost 27 pounds, lost 124 points on my total cholesterol number, lost my anti-depressants, and lost my dismal outlook for the future. What I have gained is priceless: fantastically good health, hope for happy retirement years, and a renewed love for my life. Make the call to Dr. Kaye and get started on your path to better health and well being!
– Maureen M
As a 70 year old male I have numerous serious maladies including the aftermath of multiple cancers, elevated sugar levels, general fatigue, and of course, the accompanying low testosterone level. Dr. Kaye delivered the personalized care in an unrushed setting. I have my libido back and the diabetes and accompanying neuropathy are now reversed and under control. He expertly treated the fatigue caused by long-standing anemia with several IV iron infusions which my PCP and hematologist had only hinted at but never offered to me. He is a brilliant diagnostician. His office is peaceful and his staff is superb. I give Dr. Kaye five stars!
– Vincent M.
I first read about Dr. Kaye while researching my own ailments. I had been sick for a number of years and was unsuccessful in finding a diagnosis through countless doctor visits, lab tests and unexpected ER visits. I thought I was dying, the doctors called it anxiety. There definitely was anxiety but it was mostly from not getting any answers. I decided to give Dr. Kaye a chance as a last resort. I was tired of doctors, tired of tests and tired of being turned away. Immediately with the first contact of Dr. Kaye’s staff, I knew this would be different. He wanted a complete history, all symptoms and labs upfront. He wanted time to research what he could before our meeting. He dedicates more than an entire hour to your visit and really listens to you. He was able to tell me so much from the first meeting and I walked away knowing what was ailing me and how to help myself for the first time in 3 years. It only took a short time to start to feel better and within months I was doing things I hadn’t been able to do in years. Dr. Kaye is also very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He will answer e-mails and phone calls if you ever have questions. This experience for me has been a far cry from the traditional and I am so happy that I took a chance so that I can live a full life.
– Tracy J.
I consulted Dr. Kaye recently and was impressed with his evidence based approach in diagnosis and treatment. The tests he recommended were comprehensive which included parameters not covered by my previous annual medicals. His consultation meeting was also thorough in that he took a holistic approach and provided specific science supported recommendations on diet.
– Ajay S.
I had been suffering for several years with terrible side effects from being on synthetic birth control pills for most of my adult life. My headaches, nausea, dry skin, extremely heavy periods, weight gain, hair loss, depression, intense mood swings, and constipation. You name it I had a negative side effect. I had gone to several traditional gynecologists and was not satisfied with the level of detail that they took when handling my health and well being. Once I found Dr. Kaye my life changed! All of the bioidentical hormones that he placed me on helped with my symptoms. He also found that I had a slight thyroid issue which no other doctor had detected before! His approach to care is very thorough and he left no stone unturned when searching for the answers to my health issues. I feel like a new person with energy and an overall healthy outlook for my future. I suggest that anyone male or female who just doesn’t feel right in their own skin give Dr. Kaye a try. He has helped me physically and emotionally. I just wish I had found him years ago.
– Shelley T.
Thank you Dr. Kaye, I am looking forward to mature this process to healthy living. I appreciate your time and efforts as well. I am excited to get your custom vitamin formulation to meet my requirements. I will do my part to absorb all this knowledge and determine the best lifestyle for healthy living. Thank you again for your efforts.
– Bob F.
Cheers and thank you again. (This is such a more comprehensive approach to health care than anything I’ve experienced previously.)
– Gary C.
Feel absolutely amazing and in the shape of my life – you are a god among men!
– Kimberly W.
It was good to see you Wednesday night and I’m happy that my good friend Beverly Jo is going to get started too. Each day is feeling a bit lighter for me. I think the antidepressants are finally or nearly out of my system. I do still have some ringing in my ears though and have fingers crossed that the whining will fade away. I have not had even a mouthful of dairy, flours, sugar, soda or anything from a box. Just lean meats, veggies and fruits with great variety of all three. I still am holding onto my two cups of caffeine coffee in the morning. I felt it was a fair trade off for going cold turkey with the rest of my diet.
Gosh it’s wonderful to feel like I’m on the right track to feeling my best! Thanks for pursuing this specialty. It’s got to make you feel great too!
– Maureen M.
I have been seeing my primary care physician and gynecologist for approximately 14 years (moved from the South to New England in 1997). I presented the same symptoms at each visit — migraines, hair loss (head, eyebrows), mild depression, loss of libido and unfortunately, weight gain. The typical migraine medications and anti-depressants were prescribed and 2 years ago, testosterone. Needless to say none remedied my symptoms and I just did not feel like myself. I began reading books, in particular those of Suzanne Somers. She often spoke about many of the symptoms I experienced and their relation to hormones and supplements. About a year and a half ago, I started researching on the internet and came across Optimal Wellness MD. At the time, the closest physician was located in Connecticut (a great distance for me to travel). Getting no real relief from my symptoms, late last summer I again searched the internet and found Dr. Kaye!
My first consultation was in September 2010. After following Dr. Kaye’s individualized program, my migraines have decreased and I am slowly but surely losing weight and beginning to feel like myself again! I believe I look better and I feel somewhat better emotionally and physically. I’m so appreciative of Dr. Kaye because he actually listens and applies his knowledge to resolve the real issues I have brought to him. I am confident that continuing to follow Dr. Kaye’s program will allow me to get to where I want to be in my life.
– Cheryl S.
Initially, when I came to see Dr. Kaye, I had already been on BHT for several years yet, I was still suffering from a host of ailments. I had Fibromyalgia, dry eyes, dry skin, IBS, chemical sensitivity issues, chronic fatigue, loss of eye lashes and eyebrows, puffy and pale skin, depression, brain fog and weight gain! In essence, I was miserable. After following Dr. Kaye’s individualized program for 4 months I am virtually symptom free! I still have some weight to lose and more healing to do but, I feel better than I have felt in 20 years. As corny as that sounds, it is true. I look better and I feel better emotionally and physically. I am no longer eating foods that I was allergic to and my cravings for “bad” foods have diminished considerably. Because Dr. Kaye took the time and effort to find out what was really wrong, I am now healing from conditions that aren’t supposed to be curable! Thank you Dr. Kaye.

I wanted nothing more than to have better control of my health. One day I decided to see what I could do to help me make this a reality. After much debate, I decided to search for a new Dr. In doing so, I came across the website of Optimal Wellness and downloaded the information about bio-identical hormones. I was so impressed that I called the office right away. I went to Dr. Kaye’s presentation at the World Trade Center in Woburn Mass. Throughout his presentation I immediately acknowledged that according to my symptoms he was the right Dr. to treat all my health issues. It was a long journey for me looking for a way to secure my health; I began to take control of the situation by attempting treatment with Dr. Kaye. In addition, I was getting treatment previously with another Dr. due to a hormone in-balance, but the treatment was not successful. I have been vegan all my life. I consider myself as a very healthy person. I do exercise every two days and eat very healthy. I’m very conscious of listening to my symptoms such as waking up to pain in my ovaries in the middle of the night etc. Another reason I had two operations in my ovaries due to an endometriosis diseases and hormone in-balance. Unfortunately my sister died with breast cancer when she was 39 years old. Since my sister died I did a research how patients develop cancer, and hormones imbalance was one of the issues discussed. It was devastating for me, but at the same time was an awakening call. After much effort, I decided to make it as easy as possible for my health and Dr. Kaye really made a difference in my life. My hormones are in balance I do have more energy. I do not suffer from any endometriosis anymore. In conclusion Dr. Kaye”s Bio-identical hormone treatment has been a great solution for my symptoms. Dr. Kaye your treatment is great and has changed my life.

I am a 62 year old male and for years, I have attempted to work with several primary care physicians to delay and/or prevent the onset of any degenerative diseases associated with aging. However, as time passed, I could see and feel the telltale signs of aging slowly affecting my mind and body (lower libido and decreased sex drive, loss of muscle mass and increased body fat, joint pains, higher LDL cholesterol, trouble sleeping, and all leading to lower self-esteem and mild depression). The conventional medical doctors I dealt with were not concerned with addressing preventative care measures because they regarded me in relatively good health and simply experiencing the ‘normal signs of aging’. So I set my goals to be extremely proactive in my pursuit of a longer, healthier and happier life. My efforts led me to discover Optimal Wellness MD where I was introduced to Doctor Kaye.
It is now one year since my initial consultation with Doctor Kaye. Over that period, he has prescribed various testing to establish my base for hormones, cholesterol, PSA, thyroid, heavy metal toxins, and more. The results indicated I was out of range in several of these areas. We developed a course of action as a team covering hormonal balancing, supplementation, exercise, diet and detoxification. He monitored my progress in quarterly intervals and recommended periodic testing to determine my status. The doctor was very helpful in regularly communicating and collaborating on any new supplements or adjustments to my action plan.Today, I am proud to say I am in the best condition of my life and getting better everyday. My hormones are balanced and my libido can attest to it. My cholesterol is no longer a concern, the toxic heavy metals have been lowered to very safe levels, and my joints are moving freely and without pain. Combining all these internal changes with my normal exercise program and diet regimen, I now have the physical appearance I always dreamed of – lean muscle mass with very little body fat. The end result is a much happier and healthier mental state. This is the way the medical profession needs to operate. Doctor Kaye, I will never be able to thank you enough for this life altering experience.

I have been reading about bioidentical hormones for a few years and could not find anyone in my area (R.I) that knew what I was talking about. Finally searching on the internet, calling compounding pharmacies, and reading more books- I finally found Optimal Wellness MD. There I found Dr. Kaye. I could not believe there was someone who knew what I was talking about and what I needed. From weight gain, food sensitivities, menopause symptoms (hot flashes, sleeping problems, brain fog, fatigue, hair loss, etc) and just feeling old-Dr. Kaye helped me.
From the first time I met Dr. Kaye, I knew I was in the right place. Not only, did he take the time to explain everything and exactly what was going on with my body, but just how toxic our lives are. In the past five months that I have seen Dr. Kaye, I have energy, less aches and pains, weight loss, hair growth, better sleep- I feel like a new person. With his knowledge of diet, exercise, supplements, and hormonal balancing, Dr Kaye has changed my life.
I still have more to do, but I know I am on the right road with Dr. Kaye by my side. I may just live to 100!!

About 7 years ago I read an eye opening book called, “The Sexy years” by Suzanne Somers about Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and menopause. I had not yet gone through menopause but I knew it was inevitable and I wanted to be armed and ready for “the change.” After reading the book about Bio identical hormones I said, “I want that!”… 5 years later… I had my first signs of hormonal imbalance. I had sugar cravings, cold hands and feet, night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, mild depression, feelings of being overwhelmed, low libido, and MOST of all waking up ALL night long. I actually got more sleep when I had 3 crying babies under 3 years old. My sleeping was a disaster. (I had always been an excellent sound sleeper.) That was it! I knew it was time to get help, natural help. I started working with Dr. Kaye last March 2010. Dr. Kaye, unlike other physicians, took his time to thoroughly and properly diagnose my condition. I never felt rushed and always felt as if all the focus was on me. I am thrilled to report that it has been 11 months and I have reached optimal health with Dr. Kaye! I am sleeping soundly and deeply. I am balanced, happy, calm, thin and muscular at 48 years old. Every single symptom of menopause has virtually disappeared thanks to Dr. Kaye and his expertise on hormones. I actually feel better now than when I was in my thirties. I tell my husband all the time, “Thank goodness for Dr. Kaye, I feel so balanced!” Dr Kaye helps you reach your optimal health through BHRT, supplementation, healthy eating, exercise and lots of good advice. I feel passionate about this subject and I am so thankful for Dr. Kaye and his wonderful practice! Thank you! Here is to good health!
– Virginia K.
The first time I met with Dr. Kaye, I did not have any energy. I could barely get through the day and this had been going on for a good 20 years. I have been to numerous physicians as well as worked for a number of physicians and not one of them could figure out what to do with me. For the first time in years I have energy because he treated my nutritional and hormonal deficiencies. He stands out in the medical community because he has a holistic approach. Thank you, Dr. Kaye.
– Michele M.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kaye and boy does he know what he is talking about. I have found him to be so responsive to all my crazy questions (menopause can do that to you, you know) and he has been as patient as Job with me. I now have no night sweats. These have plagued me for years. Thank you Dr. Kaye.
– Rosalind F.
My response to Dr. Kaye’s treatment measures has lead to both emotional and physical well-being. After recovering from a stroke a number of years ago I was left with multiple residuals, one of which was significant chronic pain. After years of suffering, I associated ongoing depression, diminished libido and low energy as a response to my chronic pain. Clinical trials of medication were utilized for over a decade with little response. With my overall health deteriorating blood work finally revealed low testosterone which Dr. Kaye indicated was probably a result of long term use of one of my medications. The testosterone pellets once implanted significantly enhanced my quality of life. A return of libido with more energy and a new found zest for life are all attributed to Dr. Kaye’s expertise with hormonal replacement and holistic treatment measures. As a past treating physician I can fully appreciate and attest to the dedication and overall quality of care that Dr. Kaye offers his patients to enhance their quality of life. I would further recommend that every man approaching thirty years of age and older monitor their testosterone level.

After experiencing a diverse and troubling set of symptoms, Dr. Topouzian has used a multi-pronged approach to my treatment plan… Included in this plan are high dose vitamin C infusions and HCL. Prior to treatment, I was operating at about 30%. With treatment, I am at about 75% and am hoping to improve with time. Due to my compromised immune system, I choose to avoid vaccinations. As such, my own immune system must be boosted to help me fight infections, such as the flu. Infusions have definitely helped… The infusion clinic has a friendly atmosphere, under the guidance of Dr. T and his infusion specialist, Luis. He is an expert at locating veins, inserting the catheter or butterfly and performing blood draws and infusions. I highly recommend taking advantage of the services offered at Dr.Ts infusion clinic.
– Cathy S.
When I first came to Dr. T with in my depleted state, he told me I was not absorbing my nutrients which turned out to be the underlying cause of my pain, fatigue, brain fog and hair loss. Under Dr. T’s supervision, I have had IV treatments of vitamins and minerals that have improved my condition. At the same time he has helped my digestive system and absorption. Dr. T took a different approach to trying to find the cause of my problems and performed a lot of testing. Other doctors that I had seen did not have any answers for me other than prescriptions.
– Jessica. J.
Ten years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I was put on a slew of different medications. Some helped for a while, others had side effects that were worse. Dr. Topouzian found that I have low thyroid, low testosterone and low cortisol levels. A treatment plan was put together that included Myers Cocktail IVs and Glutathione. I could tell that I needed these treatments by the way my body responded. Intense treatment for an intense problem. I still occasionally come in for an IV treatment if I feel a cold coming on or if I am under a lot of stress.
– Taylor M.
Dr. Topouzian has been a life-saver for me. He understands how the thyroid can affect our entire body, and why it is so important to run a complete thyroid panel (Free T3, Free T4, TSH and Reverse T3). He truly listens and partners with his patients to find the best treatment for each individual, whether it’s Natural Desiccated Thyroid, direct T3, etc. I have been able to get my life back because of his excellent care.
– Jill Gurfinkel
When I first came to Dr. T with in my depleted state, he told me I had a disease I had never heard of before… Hashimoto’s. Since then, I have learned much about this auto-immune disorder and under Dr. T’s supervision, I have had blood tests to determine the medication needed in order to regulate my thyroid. I used to be cold, even in the summer and having a normal operating temperature is one of the most desirable benefits I have enjoyed from this therapy. My weight was more than what I wanted it to be and through not only thyroid medication but also dietary modifications, I was able to drop excess weight without even dieting. There are so many factors that go into determining why a certain gland, in this case thyroid, malfunctions. Dr. T took a scientific approach to trying to find the reasons, one at a time, so that the results would not be skewed. It has taken awhile, but my thyroid is not bothersome anymore, although I continue with my medication, Armour thyroid.

About 17 years ago an ultrasound revealed I had a 2-centimeter goiter on my thyroid. As I believed pharmaceutical drugs healed, I took the prescribed Synthroid, but because I believed my thyroid had healed, I quit taking the medication about six months later. My thyroid began again acting up about five years later, when test results showed a slight abnormality. I then met Dr. Topouzian. He quickly identified hypothyroidism through lab work. Because of my earlier research, I had been taking iodine. Dr. Topouzian explained how the iodine I was taking was much weaker than the dose I required, and he prescribed a specific type of iodine. After taking the proper dosage of iodine as recommended by Dr. Topouzian, my thyroid now functions normally.
– Thanks to God and Dr. Topouzian, for healing my thyroid!
I honestly believe my husband and I are alive today because of the diligent and caring medical care and superior interpretive analysis skills of Dr. Keri Topouzian. Dr. Topouzian demands the best for his patients. The blood tests are extremely thorough and very revealing as our bodies change and age. The compounded medications for our thyroid and hormonal issues have been so much better assimilated by our bodies over pharmaceutical drugs. My husband and I feel better with Dr. Topouzian’s more natural approach to our health. We also financially prioritize our out of pocket medical expenses as a number one priority in our lives. If you don’t have your health how can you enjoy anything else?
Hands down… Dr. Steve Lasater is exceptional in what he practices in helping people and people like myself with hormone replacement therapy! I found Dr. Lasater online after doing my own research on testosterone. I emailed Dr. Lasaters office my situation pertaining to my body and what I was at the time feeling… Not good! I was a surprised the very next day I got a phone call from Dr. Lasater himself! He listened to my situation and informed me to come to his office to check my testosterone levels and at that time I did! While I was at Dr. Lasaters office, he clearly explained what is testosterone and how testosterone plays a huge role in a mans everyday life! It all started to make sense to me as to why I was feeling not good from my libido, mental focus, energy and over all sense of well-being! I’ve been on testosterone replacement therapy for approximately 2 years now and I absolutely love it!! My life is better a whole 360 degrees! I have such a bright outlook on life again as I did when I was younger and when my testosterone levels were normal! I personally would like to thank Dr. Steve Lasater and his associates for helping me get the treatment that has changed my life for the better!!!

One day last year, I happened to catch Suzanne Somers on television, talking about her book, “The Sexy Years”. She was explaining the health benefits of using bioidentical hormones. At that time, my life was anything but sexy. Following an emergency hysterectomy, I was miserable. Overnight, I had found myself in menopause. Suzanne Somers described her menopausal symptoms as the seven dwarfs; “itchy, bitchy, sweaty, sleepy, bloated, forgetful, and all dried up”. I was experiencing all seven of those symptoms, in varying degrees. It didn’t seem right to have reached a successful point in my life and feel like I had just run out of gas. After all, I was old 50 years old and I wasn’t ready for a rocking chair by a long shot. Still, prescription drugs left me with a myriad of side effects and worrisome potential health problems.
At this point, my family doctor said that she could do nothing else for me. However, she did recommend Dr. David Pawsat D.O. and told me that several of her patients had experienced great results with him. I made an appointment, and with my first visit to Dr. Pawsat, things began looking up. Dr. Pawsat takes the time to thoroughly access your individual needs and zeros in on health problems that other physicians miss. Soon, he prescribed bioidentical hormones for me, got me started on supplements and instructed me on a healthful diet and lifestyle. In one month, most of my menopausal symptoms had disappeared, and six months later, I can truly say, that each one of those “seven dwarfs” are completely gone. I have no side effects whatsoever, and I feel more like my happy and confident self. I’m back to feeling healthy, energetic and yes, “sexy”! I’m enthusiastic about life again and therein itself lies true happiness. Not only did my menopause symptoms go away, but my overall health improved, including my vision, cholesterol and bone density.
I had thought that I was relatively healthy, but in reality I was just getting by. I’m so grateful for Dr. Pawsat. He is a committed and caring, physician, with an easy going manner. Since turning to Dr. Pawsat and his staff, I have experienced a profound difference in my health. I believe all, young and old, men and women, can benefit from his expertise.

Twelve months ago I woke up each day and felt like crawling into a dark hole. I lacked the energy, desire and passion for life. I was so fatigued that sometimes I thought I was ready to die. Now, I get out of bed each morning and I am ready to take on the day. I have more energy than I’ve had for years, those unexpected and unwanted pounds have disappeared, my skin and eyes are bright and clear and I know once again what a good night’s sleep is. I have a life worth living and so much left to accomplish. At 56 years old I look forward to starting my workday at 6am, chasing after a grandchild and hiking the Appalachian Trail with my husband. I feel great and I’m excited to live my life again! Thank you Dr. Pawsat.
– I’m excited to live my life again! Pat
Six months ago I was feeling generally unwell and frustrated with typical post-menopausal symptoms:Hot flashes, Night sweats, Dry itchy skin, Weight gain, Lethargy, Constipation, Depression, Decreased libido, Fatigue, Joint pain I came to The Center for Optimal Health hoping I wouldn’t have to live with these symptoms for the rest of my life. Working with Dr. Pawsat has shown me that I don’t. He has taken time to listen to my concerns, test for deficiencies and suggest natural hormone and vitamin/supplement options to correct the imbalances that caused my symptoms. When we first met, he told me that ours would be a “partnership” and he has been true to his word. When I have a question or would like to discuss any aspect of my journey toward “optimal health” he and his staff are available and attentive. With their help over the past six months I am now feeling very well, better than I have in years, no longer experiencing the symptoms that brought me to Dr. Pawsat. I am grateful for all their help and I know that I can count on their continuing support to maintain my “optimal health.

I’m very happy with the service Dr. James Lewerenz has given me in reference to the Hormone Replacement Therapy. I have been using the cream for 4 months now and am feeling so much better, full of energy, and feeling much happier.
– M.S.
I am a patient at the Lewerenz Medical Center. I am fifty-five years old and have the usual aches and pains of men my age. My energy level isn’t what it used to be and my joints are sore. I just don’t really feel like doing anything besides sitting and watching television. Dr. Lewerenz suggested hormone therapy, so I agreed to give it a try. That was five months ago. The change, although gradual, has been quite surprising. Physically, I have much more energy, but the sprucing part, is that mentally I’m up for doing fun things with friends and family that I wouldn’t have, just five months ago. Dr. Lewerenz also said this would improve dry skin that we all know comes with aging. That turned out to be an understatement. The dry winter skin I get on my face every year for the past ten years just didn’t happen this year. I also had several small patches of eczema on my hands and arms for years that have completely disappeared. Hormone therapy has greatly improved the quality of my life. Thank you.
– MLB
Dr. Lewerenz, I can not thank you enough. I went to see several doctors and got nowhere, even worse feeling! Thank you for correcting my hormones and other nutritional levels! My family thanks you! I finally feel back to normal. Normal energy, mind, mood, etc. Thanks again Doc! You’re the best!
– KT
Dr. Lewerenz, recommended I take hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Lewerenz was correct in his assessment. As a result of taking the hormone replacement, it heightened my sexual capacity and made me feel normal again. Thank you.
– W.S.
I am writing this letter as a result of my extreme satisfaction with the expert and comprehensive care that you and your staff provide. As a knowledgable, compassionate, and innovative professional you empower me with sound advice that is easily understood as it relates to my health. You approach is very pleasant, your attitude is non-condescending, your attentiveness is sincere and you have SMILE that lights up any room and lessens the stress level immediately. Your staff possess a genuine level of courtesy and a desire to be more efficient and helpful (especially Suzie). Dr. Lewerenz, you truly are a man of integrity who listens and uses the God given sense, strength, and wisdom to make decisions that affect many of our daily lives. I truly feel blessed to be in the care of such a young, dedicated, professional physician as yourself and look forward to getting healthier and better while in your care. I will continue to support you and encourage others to seek your help as needed.

During the last four months on the pellet therapy I have noticed an increase in my energy level, my night sweats are gone, I am sleeping better, my hair is healthier, and I have lost weight. I am much happier and have a more positive outlook on life.
– Jessica
The most important change that has occurred since I began the treatment is my hair is no longer falling out. That was my biggest concern when I initially called the office. The other advantages I have seen are less water retention, my memory has improved, I sleep great, and I generally feel more relaxed.
– Heather
Before the pellets, I thought I had to live with sleepless nights, weight gain, loss of muscle, lack of energy, and almost no libido. I was wrong! Life after the treatment made me wonder why I suffered for so long! Now, I sleep through the night, I have lost 16 lbs, I am back at the gym, and I have a healthy sex life again!
– JoAnn
I am in better shape now than I was in my twenties, I love the energy and all of the benefits! I recommend it to all of my friends!
– Jessie
Since I started on the pellets, I have lost 30 lbs. My muscle tone is great, I can keep up with the twenty-somethings at the gym! I feel fantastic, my energy doesn’t fade, and I have a clear mind. My wife and I are both happy about the libido benefits! I don’t know how I ever lived without it!
– Mike
I love my PSI Medical Pellets. I was finally able to lose my big belly, I am back at the gym and am more toned and in shape in my 50’s than I have ever been. I have a healthy libido once again. It saved my marriage!.
– John
For me, the biggest advantage of the PSI Medical program was saying good-bye to daily application of messy creams and painful injections. It is easy, I just show up every few months for my pellet insertion and that is it! I feel great, and best of all, it is simple!
– Walter
The PSI Medical Program has worked wonders for my muscle tone. I work out at the gym five days a week. Since I’ve been on the program, I can lift more, last longer, and see definition in my muscles. I feel stronger than ever.
– Roy
I was on hormone therapy, previously, and felt that my symptoms – low energy, mood fluctuation, sleep problems… were returning. After my initial consultation, and blood work up confirming my low hormone levels, Kelsey put me on pellet therapy. It’s been a big change! I tried creams and patches but the pellets have been the best! I no longer have to worry about consistency of dosage and my symptoms have greatly reduced. Stop suffering and make an appointment for a consultation today!
– Marilyn
I cannot tell you how much Dr Richardson has helped me. Honestly, it’s been wonderful. I went from being a very depressed person to feeling like my old self again. And for anyone out there who has been second guessing themselves, please don’t.
– Vicky B
When I found Dr. Richardson I was experiencing terrible hot flashes, mode swings and was just tired every day. I had a hard time sleeping at night and a hard time getting out of bed every morning. Even though my diet has not changed, I have gained 22 pounds in one year. Dr. Richardson placed me on a hormone replacement regimen 4 weeks ago and my energy levels have improved, I am sleeping through the night most nights, my hot flashes have disappeared and I have lost 12 pounds! I am feeling like a new person already. My husband and I cannot thank Dr. Richardson enough. For anyone out there wandering if there is a solution to all that comes with menopause, there absolutely is!
– Jennifer Ross
I have been on testosterone gel for over 2 years due to low t. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Richardson for testosterone pellets. Within 2 weeks of getting the pellets implanted I feel so much better. I did not realize how bad I have actually felt looking back until getting the testosterone pellets. I work long hours and used to have a hard time toward the end of my work day. Now my days seem to fly by. I find myself being more motivated every day, my memory has improved, I am sleeping better and my libido has returned. I highly recommend pellet therapy to any man considering testosterone therapy. I was in and out of the office in 40 minutes and the procedure was completely painless. Thank you Dr Richardson!
– John D.
If you want a doctor that cares about you – really cares about you, then this is the one. Dr. Robbins always spends time to find out exactly what the problem is – and sometimes you may think one thing is the issue, but really it is something else. She knows how to get to the bottom of the problem. She doesn’t treat patients like we are stupid either. She is not afraid of insurance companies either! I am a self pay patient, so I am more critical of medical care because I have to pay 100% out of pocket for everything! With Dr. Robbins, I am never disappointed, and always feel like she really cares. If you need a second opinion or are just looking for a new doctor – she is the one. From a simple stuffed up nose all the way to female hormones, botox or really serious issues, she can handle it. Give her a try!
My aging body loves BHRT and what it can do. With Dr. Warner, I find that no subject is off limits and I’m very comfortable discussing any hormonal, health or aesthetic needs. I so appreciate that I don’t have to sign up for expensive concierge service and he still willing to deal with my unusual issues. Also, I am very grateful they also offer a few innovative cosmetic procedures and cutting edge hormonal delivery systems. They make it easy. Who knew, we don’t have to age so rapidly? Thank you, Dr. Warner!

Dr. Keller has been my anti-aging doctor for the last 5 years; she has balanced my hormones, helps me with my weight and also addressed my aging skin. I have had micro needling, VI Peel, and most recently Botox and juvederm. I am so happy with her approach. She prefers non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments and when it comes to Botox and fillers she believes less is more. I know I can trust her to help me look and feel my best I also use her skin care, they are amazing products.
Dr Keller really changed my Life. Not only did Dr. Keller balance my hormones, help me with making life style changes including my diet, regular exercise (that I now cannot live without) and stress reduction and the right vitamins and supplements. She also helped my daughter with her anxiety and chronic fatigue. Really I can’t thank her enough.
– KM
I am peri menopausal and started having unbearable hot flashes and night sweats. Dr Keller really understands what I am going through. She takes her time to explain, evaluate and tests for all your hormones and more. A combinations of diet change, supplements stress reduction and a small amount of bio identical hormones, I am feeling like myself again. Thank you, Dr Keller
– JN
Before I came to Dr. Keller, I was miserable, flashing all day. At times I had to leave meetings, my face would be dripping. I have my life back. Thanks to Dr. Keller
– LF
I am peri-menopausal and started having hot flashes, and some night sweats. I was anxious, moody and could not sleep. It took awhile to get balanced, but I am now doing great. Dr. Keller really cares and worked with me to find the best treatment for me. I didn’t want to take hormones, so through diet, exercise and supplements I back to feeling great! If you are not feeling like yourself, go see Dr. Keller she will help you.
– LK
I think why Dr. Keller is so good at what she does is she really cares and understands how challenging it can be to deal with menopausal symptoms. I know I thought I was going crazy. She took the time to explain what was happening to my body and made a treatment plan that addressed all aspects of health and wellness. Really she helped me feel like myself again.
From time to time, I experienced fatigue as most of us do. Occasionally, it would last for days and eventually I was myself again as the active person I have always been. I did notice with time that this type of fatigue I was experiencing was becoming more intense. This past spring, the fatigue became more difficult to deal with. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Along with the fatigue came stiffness and widespread musculoskeletal pain. There was an overall feeling of achiness that I could not escape no matter what I did. Most importantly, the most difficult past was not being able to do the things I usually do. I would come home from work and just want to sleep. Nap after nap and still no relief. I would wake up so tired as if I had not slept at all. Sometimes my body was so tender that a good night was hard to find. Meanwhile, doctor after doctor visits and tests after tests, including an MRI of my head nothing was found.
I finally visited Dr. Keller, which I am so grateful for. Dr. Keller truly listened to my situation and took all the necessary measures to help me feel better. She addressed my nutritional habits, explained the importance of maintaining stress levels under control, and recommended wonderful supplements that have worked very well in my situation. Fibromyalgia is a difficult syndrome to deal with but thanks to Dr. Keller, I have made a wonderful recovery. She has also kept me very informed about the things I need to do to keep me balanced and help me cope with this syndrome. I finally feel like myself again and can go back to doing things I was not able to do because of the intense fatigue and body pain. Thank you Dr. Keller, your care has made all the difference in my day-to-day life. Thank you so much!
– O. C.
After 2 years of every test you can think of I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue January 2013 at Mayo Clinic. My experience at Mayo Clinic was amazing. Any questions you have about this disease they have it covered, unfortunately there is no cure. But one thing I noticed was the amount of pain meds the patients were taking. I’m already in pretty bad shape and did not want to be depended on it so I decided to go a different route. Through my research of many doctors I found Dr. Keller. My first appointment was her lasted 2 hours and went through everything. She really understood what I’m going through, my concerns. I felt very comfortable, she believed me and it’s not all in my head. We were able to design a treatment that consists of acupuncture, supplements, diet changes, and meditation. She has been treating me for about 2 years now and with her help I’m able to manage and get my life back and that is priceless. God bless Dr. Keller and Laura.

Dr. Keller has helped me tremendously with my peripheral neuropathy that I have as a side effect from chemotherapy. I had the neuropathy for about 18 months before I went to Dr. Keller. My oncologist said he thought my neuropathy would be a permanent condition. Dr. Keller has been able to help relieve the damage when I was unable to find someone to help me. When I first went to Dr. Keller, I had shooting pains in my feet that prevented me from falling asleep and walking a lot. After an hour or two I would fall asleep and then the pains would wake me up during my sleep. The shooting pains are now completely gone! I can easily fall asleep and stay asleep. The pins and needles feeling I had in my hands are almost gone, approximately 98% gone. I also had the pins and needles feeling in my toes to approximately 2-3 inches above my ankles. It is now only from my toes to half way up my foot but the intensity of pain is greatly diminished! I am better able to walk for longer periods of time and also exercise more. When I first went to Dr. Keller I was desperate and somewhat depressed over my condition. Not anymore. I am so very grateful to Dr. Keller for her compassion, her caring help, and her expertize in relieving my peripheral neuropathy. I am just so happy I found her now.
– J. M.
In the past several year my health has deteriorated rapidly. It seemed out of nowhere I’d have these random symptoms of pain. It occurred in various parts of my body, but mostly my feet and legs. I’d seen multiple specialists, each prescribing their own sets of tests, medications, and physical therapy only to have another issue shortly after. It got to the point several times that it was too painful to walk and I was forced to be off my feet with lost time from work. More importantly, I missed out on quality time with my loved ones. I became depressed, gained weight, has elevated cholesterol, and began to fear that this would become my path in life. Then I found Dr. Keller. I knew from my first visit she understood me and for the first time I felt hopeful that I’d found someone who could help. She has given me my life back. She’s treating me for Fibromyalgia, bursitis, and bulging disk. She has helped me lose 20 pounds, reduced my cholesterol from 229 to 153, and these days I am mostly pain free, optimistic, and enjoying life again all without harmful narcotics, but rather through diet, supplements, quality sleep, and acupuncture. Dr. Keller has turned my life around and I am forever grateful. I recommend her to anyone who deals with chronic pain. She truly can make a positive difference and help you to enjoy life again.

Dear Dr. Keller – I so appreciate your comprehensive approach to my wellness and your respectful and caring manner. Your health questionnaire was so thorough and the questions you asked when taking a history helped me to consider making some lifestyle changes (eg meditation and diet changes). Your diagnostic skills which encompased traditional western as well as complementary medicine.were refreshing.You were the first to raise a gluten free diet and it’s helped me feel so much better. Once my bloodwork results returned, your explanations were easy to understand and your advice was consultative and practical. I’m so glad to be under your care and to benefit from your expertise.

Prior to seeing Dr. Keller, I had been prescribed several different medications from several different doctors. None of them were working. I continued to experience severe fibromyalgia pain, and was missing a lot of school. When I began treatment with Dr. Keller, she gave me some all-natural supplements that have helped much more than any real drug ever did. Her acupuncture treatments were painless and I began to feel better within the first few visits. I have never had a doctor who was so understanding and helpful. Today, thanks to her, I am mostly pain-free and have not missed any school in the last few months. She was extremely encouraging and supportive, especially when I began to do yoga, which is now a passion of mine, and has helped me to continue improving my condition. Thanks so much to Dr. Keller and Laura for helping me succeed in this journey to recovery!

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2011… All I wanted to do was lay my tired aching body on a couch. I knew when I came across Dr. Keller’s practice that I could be helped by her medically, and also supported in a sound wellness program. After the first visit I felt like I had some answers and some hope. Over the past months I have gotten her support over the phone, in office visits and through email. I am grateful to Dr. Keller and Laura at the Optimal Wellness Center, and to my husband for their support and help. There are not words enough to say to thank them for the difference they have made in my life.

I was skeptical about getting any type of relief from the pain in my knees, which was caused by arthritis. I was scheduled to receive injections in my knee, when I thought I would give acupuncture a try. I found Dr. Betty Keller on a website and made an appointment. Within a few treatments, my knees were pretty much pain-free. Thanks, Dr. Keller.
– M.B.
Thank you so much for helping me feel better so quickly by reducing my fatigue and joint/muscle pain. Dr. Keller really did a comprehensive evaluation. She took tests that my primary care doctor never ordered before. She found out what was causing the symptoms. The acupuncture treatments combined with the right medication, supplements, and dietary adjustments have made my joints, muscles, and soft tissue much less irritated and pain free! The quiet atmosphere and heated tables are great also. If you have pain, sore muscles, or fatigue I recommend you go see Dr. Keller.

I went to Dr. Keller twice with alot of pain and inflexibility in my neck. After the first treatment, I had noticeable relief and more movement in my neck. She also treated me for a pain in my hip, which was greatly improved afterwards. Subsequently, I went back for one more treatment, and would recommend her to anyone. I would not hesitate to go again.
– C.G.
I have been dealing with stiffness, fatigue, an achy feeling every day for over 5 years. I have gone doctor to doctor searching for someone to help with my symptoms. All the doctors I went to were not helping me. I knew what I was feeling was real. After 2 years of conventional tests and medications with tremendous side effects that gave me little to no relief I went online and found Dr. Betty Keller. 2 weeks after my first consult with Dr. Keller I was put on a course with a positive diagnosis and a treatment plan to begin the healing process with the fibromyalgia. I was able to talk to Dr. Keller about all of my symptoms with no judgment. She figured out that I had a thyroid problem also. Dr. Keller was the one who made me get all the right tests to figure out what was truly wrong with me on top of the fibromyalgia. One month later I was able to sleep, think clearly, relieve stress, and begin a healthy life style with a huge reduction in my pain level. I even lost 10 pounds and it keeps coming off. Dr. Keller’s knowledge of Eastern and Western medicine has totally turned my life around. Basic everyday activity that had become impossible is now easy to accomplish. My pain threshold has become greater and my stress no longer controls my life. I have a new life now thanks to Dr. Keller. She gave me the opportunity to get better when other doctors were not really doing so. She has changed my life.

On March 10th we had our first appointment at Mountain Health Functional Medicine. We both joined Roy’s program, and we are so glad we did. Since March, Butch has lost 36 pounds, and I have lost 22 pounds. We are both sleeping better, eating better, feeling better, and enjoying life more. We are learning about the importance of hormone balance, and both have had hormone injections just two weeks ago. Together, we have decided to get off the conveyor belt to getting older and sicker, with more medication each year. We are fighting to stay healthy and active, and we now think getting to know Roy Hall has been a gift from God.
– Jane Smart
I want to extend to you my heartfelt thanks. Thank you for being so positive — so upbeat about her condition. I felt doctors before you were doom and gloom. Everyone insisting it must be cancer or AIDS. You are the only one who gave us hope. You gave us something to work on — the Elimination Diet. This is life changing.
– Cindy Rogers (mother of a patient)
I can’t begin to tell you how good I’m feeling!! I bumped my armour to 90mg and feel so much better! I wasn’t getting much from 60mg. I started working out and my energy is so great. I’m not so sluggish and crappy feeling. And, the love train is full steam ahead I can’t thank you enough.
Just a note of thanks for all of the personalized care. You guys are an amazing team and I know I’m in good hands. Best of luck with Prestige Medical….I have no doubt it will be a great success.
I just wanted to let you guys know how great I am doing and am so glad I found a Dr. that knows what he is doing. I appreciate you both! Thank you, thank you so much! See you at my next appt. Have a blessed day.
I want to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to Dr. Darin Jackson of Prestige Medical Rejuvination Center in Omaha. I can not believe how much better I feel after just a month! I actually went a month without a migraine thanks to you! I can not even remember the last time I was migraine free for an entire month! But I am sure it has been well over a year. So Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!……Even my Physical Therapist told me that he cold not believe the difference in my muscles at my last appointment. He said I was like a completely different person!
If anybody is constantly tired, no energy, can’t lose weight, etc. I highly recommend calling Prestige Medical Rejuvenation Center
Thank you! My energy is through the roof and and my wife says I’m much nicer to be around. I’m back in the gym and I have lost 18 pounds.
OMG I cannot believe the difference in how I feel. My sleep has improved, I have more pep in my step and just feel more confident. And bonus, I’ve lost 9 pounds. Thank you!
After the birth of my child in my mid-forties, I found myself in my 50’s and more than 100 lbs. overweight. I’d tried everything in the prior 10 years including bariatric surgery. I started seeing Dr. Tice in June 2009, and in eighteen months, I’d lost 110 lbs. and have kept it off without HCG or a 500-calorie per day diet. I thought I knew how to eat properly (even though I wasn’t always doing it), but he taught me so much that I didn’t know. I am forever grateful to him for giving me my life back.

I am a 47 year old woman who has been suffering with chronic joint pain and insomnia for years. I have been to 2 Northern Nevada doctors over the years and complained of my pain and insomnia. I was suffering from mood swings and intense hot flashes as well. I was told I was perimenopausal and that there was nothing that could be done for me. The joint pain was becoming more debilitating as time went on, yet my doctors would not listen to me. In June of this year I had my blood work done by yet another new Doctor. I was sure the results were something horrific like cancer or whatever crazy diagnosis I found online. Much to my dismay. I was told everything was within the normal range. I thought, well girl this is what getting older is and I must be a complainer with a very low threshold for pain! Thankfully a dear friend of mine who had been begging me to see Dr. Clearfield for the past few months demanded I go see him once! I brought in the results of my blood work from 2 weeks prior and talked with Dr. Clearfield about my symptoms. He ordered new blood work and discovered I have a thyroid deficiency called Hashimoto Disease! I was so thrilled to know I was not a hypochondriac! He started me on a treatment plan and within a week my joints stopped aching!! He also talked to me about a gluten free diet. In 4 weeks I lost 11 lbs with the RX and diet suggestions. I’m easing back into exercise as it no longer hurts to move. My hot flashes are a thing of the past. I still suffer from insomnia but am having some more blood work done tomorrow and have no doubt in my mind Dr. Clearfield will help me figure this out! I am eternally grateful for Dr. Clearfield for changing the course of my life!
– Taylor G.
Clearfield has made the most dramatic difference in my quality of life; he is truly amazing!
– M.M. Sparks
Lost 50 pounds and feel great. Hot flashes and arthritis are gone. He is a ROCK STAR!
– E. Reno
Fantastic bedside manner!!! Super Doctor!!! great staff ,friendly always informative.
– J.
Clearfield’s approach to medicine was way beyond most back here. In Northeast Pennsylvania. I miss him and I am having one heck of a time. trying to find someone to replace him.
– M.C.
Dr B is amazing!!! Can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!!!
– S.
He’s the best! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! He does everything from acupuncture to botox to natural remedies to writing prescriptions for regular meds.
– G.V.
There are too many positive things to mention in regards to this place. To name just a few, this is a knowledgeable doctor, everything he has suggested has worked for me, friendly staff, very affordable, fast appointments (no long wait to be seen), and he actually listens.
– C.
Dr. Klingsberg is very patient-focused. He addressed all my concerns. I like that he discusses healthy alternatives that will meet my needs. He also follows up to be sure I get the desired results. I highly recommend him.
I’ve always been physically active but when I turned 50 I noticed that I was not responding to the rigorous hours of hard labor I was putting in the gym. My sexual desire and pleasure was like that of a retired stud horse put to pasture. Thanks to Dr. Bartiss I am in the running again.
I felt as though my life was over. My husband and children hated me and I thought that I was losing my friends, my job and my mind. After receiving hormone therapy, my children love me again, I got promoted at work, my friends no longer avoid me and I am once again the women my husband fell in love with. In fact, he cannot keep up with me in the bedroom so I sent him to Dr. Bartiss.
My hot flashes were the least of my problems since I had been a victim of breast cancer several years before. The treatment appeared almost as bad as the disease itself! Although I am grateful and living because of my specialists, I am ALIVE because of Dr. Bartiss.
The day I found Dr. Bartiss I won the lottery. With Dr. Bartiss I found out what my problem was and he corrected it. Now I have a life that I can enjoy. This is after all the years I spent suffering and going to one doctor after another with no results. He is a very caring person and takes time to listen to you.
Dr. Bartiss is very knowledgeable and devotes all the time needed to listen to your problems. He has done wonders for me and I highly recommend him.
I have suffered for many years with numerous tests and many diagnoses until I came to Dr. Bartiss. He is very knowledgeable and kind and has a very humorous personality. He gives me hope.
Dr. Bartiss is very thorough—he spends time with you and is just as eager as you are to find out what is wrong. I saw him years ago when he was a Family Practitioner and returned after never being able to find anyone who possessed his diagnostic skills. He is very intelligent, caring and one of the best docs around.
After 2 years of suffering from menopausal symptoms due to a hysterectomy as well as trying many conventional HRT – which didn’t give much relief, I was really searching for the answer – and I have found it… at Advanced Hormone Solutions- Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. I had the pellets implanted a month ago and I feel wonderful- absolutely no hot flashes at all- no night sweats- increased Libido- more energy- in other words I feel like a new person. I can honestly say that my quality of life has changed. Thanks everyone at Advanced Hormone Solutions for their warm and caring attitudes towards all my needs.

I have been seeing Dr. Sattari for 7 months now. When I first met Dr. Sattari I complained of extreme fatigue, weakness, chronic body aches, Fibromyalgia and menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and inability to sleep through the night. After working with him and taking hormone replacement therapy and a variety of supplements I am feeling much better. Right away I began to sleep better, I have more energy and my menopausal symptoms are much improved. I teach yoga and pilates and was afraid I was going to have to give up my practice because of weakness and fatigue. Now I have endless energy and am doing even more than before. My pain syndrome has even improved because I have more energy and am less fatigued and able to work through my aches and pains. I continue to feel better and am very grateful to Dr. Sattari for all he has done for me.
– L.
Dr Sattari, Here are a few of the pictures from my recent trip to Mexico. I can’t thank you enough for the results your program has done for me. I went from weighing 222 pounds with a huge gut and not feeling good and not happy at all with my life. In a short 9 months I lost 42 pounds and now look and feel like I did 25-30 years ago. I can’t tell how great I feel and people keep coming up to me and asking me what I did to lose the weight but more importantly telling how great I look especially women. Because of you I’m able to work out 2-3 hours a day with endless energy. Not only that but my blood pressure is way down as well as my cholesterol. People say I look 20 years younger and I’m thrilled about that. Thank you again. All the best and talk to you soon.
– M.
Starting my participation in Dr. Sattari’s Anti-Aging practice was a life changing event. My journey with Dr. Sattari’s practice started with an extensive blood test. We are all used to an annual cholesterol test, but this was much more indepth. Prior to starting this process, my cholesterol was always below 170 and my blood pressure was usually very good. I, like a lot of people have always used those numbers as a gage to my health and since my weight was in a healthy range, I didn’t think to look beyond that and I assumed all was fine. And I, like a lot of people, attributed aches and pains and lower energy, insomnia and hot flashes to the normal ageing process.
My friend convinced me that Dr. Sattari’s program would make me feel and look more vibrant and that aging didn’t have to bring with it hot flashes and lower vitality. Since I am approaching 50 years of age and I do have Graves Disease, I felt taking a closer look at my health was a good idea. I was quite surprised to find that indicators in my blood work showed inflammation from high levels of stress, I was also surprised to find that hot flashes and insomnia could be managed by correcting hormone levels and with high quality supplements. Dr. Sattari created a custom program of supplements and hormone replacement for me based on his findings from my blood work and history. In addition, my program started with a 2 week cleanse-detox regimen which completely altered my diet.
I lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks and I have kept it off. Through this process, Dr. Sattari taught me that we need to bring quality natural foods into our bodies and we need to eat less processed foods. And, the way that I was eating was actually harming my health and contributing to my ageing process. I was surprised to learn that even though I looked somewhat healthy, I had issues brewing in me that could only be seen through blood work. Now, my digestion is better, my weight is much better for my age and size, my skin looks better and I feel much better. But, more importantly, my inflammation levels in my blood have decreased and I feel calmer. And, most thankfully, my hot flashes have stopped and I sleep much more soundly.
We all get used to a slow decline in how we feel and look and we think this is just what it means to age. And, it’s frightening to realize that quietly and internally we may have conditions that are slowly breaking us down and we just keep going with the same diet and routine perpetuating these conditions. Taking the time to see Dr. Sattari and to start to manage my health was life changing. This is about learning your particular body chemistry and living by a program that makes you healthier and more vital through the years. I am so thrilled to have started Dr. Sattari’s program and highly recommend to anyone to visit Dr. Sattari and begin to educate yourself on your particular health needs and take control and improve your life. You will be surprised how much better you can look and feel.
When you are happy with how you look it’s hard to go back and revisit the day when you did not feel the same way about yourself. Life had gone along, each day busy with commitments to family, friends and work. You gain a few extra pounds here and there and start to readjust your expectations. You think you are eating healthy and you exercise regularly. Age creeps up on you and your body changes and you need medications, which have an additional effect on your weight. You try on clothes and nothing looks nice and you have trouble finding outfits that make you feel good. It was at this point that I reached out to Dr. Sattari. Dr. Sattari had me fill out an extensive questionnaire, which covered not only the medical details of my health but also many aspects of my lifestyle and my hopes and wishes for my future.
Then we had our first visit to review these details discussing them extensively. How I felt, what I wanted to change and what I hoped to achieve. He ordered blood work and did an intense evaluation of many body functions. We started with a dietary cleanse, which I had heard others talk about and the idea did not thrill me. It turned out to be not too bad, along with the shake I had daily, Dr Sattari had me remove certain dietary items from my diet yet I did not feel hungry. He helped me to eliminate sugars, and other processed foods from my daily intake. Dr, Sattari gave me a packet of information and related facts and myths as well as shared his knowledge of the type of foods to avoid and why and even how to prepare these new meals. It was quite a learning experience. Following his advice I have lost weight and lowered many levels in my blood.
My other doctors are thrilled with the results. I have people complimenting me on how good I look and most of all I feel so much better. I have had improvements in my health and my skin and an increase in overall energy. But the best gift of all is how much better I feel about myself.I am fortunate to have found the guidance and medical expertise that Dr Sattari has shared with me.

Insomnia and night sweats are a thing of the past! I experienced instant Menopause from a hysterectomy, with hot flashes, weight gain and trouble sleeping. Looking for a natural solution, I found Dr. Miller and he helped me feel like my old self again.

I have been using Virapel for almost 4 years and can say that it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Before using Virapel, I was always tired, and had definitely lost my zest for life. By using Virapel, my thinking has become clearer, I have more energy, and when I work out have noticed that I am building more muscle tone then when I was not using Virapel. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to feel good again!!
– Suzanne Connolly
Prior to hormone replacement therapy, I lost my laughter. I began to feel anxious and depressed too. Although I worked out regularly, I could not lose those extra pounds and my workouts seemed ineffective. Most importantly, I felt my husband and I were growing apart. My sexual interest waned, which put pressure on our already strained relationship. After complaining to a friend, she recommended bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. I made an appointment right away and never regretted it! After just two weeks, my body started to come alive again. My energy level increased and my anxiety decreased. I got my old body back without dieting. My coworkers noticed that I changed. I was happy! My husband and I feel like we are living in a fairytale; we are like newlyweds again!
– Rose Anne N.
After just two treatments my quality of life has improve dramatically. I am energetic and sleeping better. My joint pain has disappeared, I’ve lost weight, and even my adult acne has subsided.
– Heidi G.
Without changing my lifestyle, I dropped 32 pounds, trimmed my mid-section, and strengthened my shoulders. Dr. Miller is exceptional. He makes you feel comfortable and really listens. He effectively explained what I needed to know—and did so with a great sense of humor.
– Joe McCrae
Going to see Dr. Miller is one of the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time. Ever since I started doing the treatment I feel like a new person. I am happier, I sleep well at night, my skin feels moist and young, and no dryness ever, I feel like a woman again. Just a great overall feeling inside me I can’t explain. Everyone is so nice at the office; it makes the process very easy! Thank you Dr. Miller Joan and Cheryl,
– Noemi O.
My wife started bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in 2012 and had amazing results. She began to encourage me to try it! I must admit that I was skeptical at first. Dr. Miller, as a male, helped me to overcome my worries. My wife and I now laugh at my reservations because it was the best decision that I could have made. Instead of spending our evenings watching television, we enjoyed them by a romantic fire discovering ourselves in ways we never dreamed possible.
– Andy N.
After years of insomnia and low energy, I feel like I’m in my 20s again. I feel refreshed, and my sex drive is great.
– Beth P.
I had feelings of anxiety, no libido and couldn’t sleep. Within weeks of my first bio-identical hormone replacement treatments I am a new woman—I feel great. My energy returned like when I was 30. It’s as if someone flipped a switch. I don’t need afternoon naps any more and my desire for sex has increased. I feel like my body is in “better balance.
– Donna S.
Dr. Miller and Virapel have literally changed my life, it is amazing! I feel like a teenager and I am 60 years old! Dr. Miller listens to you and adjusts the Virapel to your lifestyle and your life. My husband and I feel like we are in our teens again. We have lost weight, lots of it. Me 21 pounds and my husband 16, and we weigh less now than when we married over 40 years ago. We even think young. When we exercise we both feel energized and we feel as if our brain power is of a younger person. Our personal romantic life is amazing. I would recommend to anyone to avail yourself of Dr. Miller’s services. Why wait? Why not change your life, from Day One I have never looked back and never been happier. Many thanks.
– Barbara K.
At the age of 65, I have discovered more energy (getting better sleep) which enables me to do more without the fatigue associated with aging. My skin, my general outlook on life have been greatly enhanced as a result of being on Virapel program! No more brain fog. And I need not forget about my sex life! Best it has been ever! I call it “my fountain of youth”!!!!!
– Lynn B.
I started taking the Virapel pellets about 5 years ago and it changed my life. At 59, I resigned myself to thinking that I would never enjoy intercourse with my husband ever again. It was too painful and was causing our relationship to suffer. After taking the pellets and within a month, I felt like a teenager again! I even remember crying because I never totally knew how relaxed I could be about sex, because I was so on guard before. It has been wonderful for my husband and me. He funds my visits without any hesitation! ha! Little did I know there would be a host of other side benefits including clarity of thinking, much more energy and a totally new lease on life! Dr. Miller’s friendly and communicative style adds immensely to the doctor-patient relationship and provides me with a knowledgeable and sensitive approach. For me, Virapel has been wonderful!
– Bev W.
Healthbridge is a fantastic facility. Dr. Edelson cares so deeply about his patients, and it shows. He spent so much time with me, going over everything that I had a question about. I feel safe in his care. His staff was outstanding and the facility was quite impressive. They have everything under one roof! I really feel a sense of family here at HealthBridge. I would highly recommend them.

We are so grateful and pleased with the results we received from bringing our 13 year- old son to see Dr. Pescatore in January 2010 for chronic strep infections. Prior to seeing Dr. Pescatore our son was on a longterm antibiotic treatment. During this time he was still getting strep infections monthly and the antibiotics were no longer working. From all the antibiotics he was taking his body began to deteriorate, which affected his overall health and social life. Dr. Pescatore helped our son through diet and vitamins, which has greatly improved his overall health and wellbeing. Dr. Pescatore meticulously selected a plan that would work best for our son and his lifestyle. We are so pleased with the results and guidance that he has provided to us ongoing. Dr. Pescatore has given our son his life back and as parents we couldn’t be happier.
– Jason and Michele C.
I started to see Dr. Pescatore in November 2010 I had high protein in my urine. I tried many of times to lose weight but I never did. Dr. Pescatore and his staff made me open my eyes, and I lost a total of 50lbs. Using the vitamins that the Dr. gave me did wonders for me. I used to walk with a limp, not anymore. I look and feel great now thanks to Dr. Pescatore and his staff. I can’t thank them enough. Today is March 26, 2011, I’m down 50lbs and still losing.
– Anthony M.
This is the best I have felt in my entire life! No more belly bloat, diarrhea, or best of all, anxiety. I have been seeing a psychologist my entire life, it seems, for anxiety and through working with Dr. Pescatore, I realized that a good deal of it stemmed from the way I was eating. I am off my anti- depressant medications and have lost over 25 pounds.
– Laura K.
I came to see Dr. Pescatore because I had nowhere else to turn. I was only 40 years old, but was on four blood pressure medications and was 40 pounds overweight. Today I am back to the weight I was in college and am off two of my blood pressure medications. I haven’t felt this good in years.
– James G.
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer 15 years ago at the tender age of 50, I thought it was all over. I heard Dr. Pescatore on the radio and decided to make a visit. After my surgery and without any other care except his, I am still alive, well, cancer free and 40 pounds lighter. I couldn’t be happier.
– Jane R.
Dr. Pescatore was my savior. I was suffering from allergies and hives all over my body which no other doctor could figure out why, and arthritis and general fatigue. I wanted help badly because I was only 39. I stumbled across The Allergy & Asthma Cure and made an appointment. Within three weeks, the hives and allergy symptoms completely disappeared. I can sleep better than I have in as long as I can remember, no longer have PMS and best of all, I lost 15 pounds in the process.
– Linda S.
I am a menopausal woman and run a large company. At a friend’s suggestion, I visited Dr. Pescatore. In under a month, my hot flashes, moodiness, and insomnia disappeared. Within 6 months, I had lost all the weight I wanted to- over 30 pounds. Any woman who has tried to lose weight at this age knows it is almost impossible. Dr. P- you are a miracle worker.
– Barbara G.
As a young man with ulcerative colitis, I was always plagued with an irritable bowel and a need to know where the nearest bathroom was. It was controlling my life. Dr. Pescatore completely changed the way I ate and in less than a month I was symptom free and within three months, I threw away my medication. I now recommend all my friends to him.
– Jimmy F.
I considered myself pretty knowledgeable when it came to nutrition. However, I am only 38, on blood pressure medication, which I didn’t want to be on and thought I would give Dr. Pescatore a try. I still can’t believe that one year later, I am no longer on any blood pressure medication, feel great and I sleep through the night, I am a new man- my cardiologist is amazed.
– Sam T.
I saw Dr. Pescatore because I was overweight, had diabetes, and also a sluggish thyroid. He immediately switched me to a more natural thyroid preparation and I started sleeping through the night. I noticed an almost immediate sense of wellbeing. I began The Hamptons Diet and lost more than 25 pounds. I dropped my blood sugar medication along with several dress sizes.

I highly recommend the Salerno Center for its high quality of complementary medicine and professionalism.
– Tony Robbins
I had visited with several doctors before being referred to Dr. Salerno. I found that most physicians did not really listen to my concerns, hurried through the appointment, and were quick to write me a prescription for yet another medication. Dr. Salerno took his time and listened to my health history, my symptoms, and my concerns. He does run a
great deal of tests because he is a thorough doctor and he looks further than just the obvious problem. I have honestly never felt better in my life and I am now off of all of my medications. I wasted so much time and money on other physicians who didn’t help. I highly recommend Dr. Salerno to anyone who is frustrated with traditional medical care. He
changed my life!
I became a client/patient of Corinne Furnari in 2004 after three different doctors had been unable to explain why I was becoming increasingly tired, although I looked like I was in perfect health. By the time I finally walked into Corinne’s office, I felt I had become a walking zombie. She very quickly diagnosed the underlying imbalance, set about correcting it and in the process taught me how to achieve the proper nutritional, exercise and supplement regimen for me, as an individual.
She thinks outside the box, is tuned into a wide variety of integrative medicine techniques, does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to diagnosis or prescriptions, and is adamant that the key to good health is knowledge about one’s body. I learned more from her about my body, health and nutrition than I had in the prior 30 years from all my health care providers combined. I cannot thank her enough for bringing me back to health and for teaching me so much. In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, schools should teach what Corinne knows about health. I continue to recommend her to both women and men.

When I came to the Schachter Center, I was depressed, tired, and had a lot of joint pain. I had many food allergies and was very bloated and constipated. Dr. Schachter, Sally Minniefield, PA, and I worked together as a team. They listened to me with respect and slowly over the past few years, they unraveled the mystery of my health problems. They discovered that I had parasites and that my immune system wasn’t functioning well. I had mercury and arsenic poisoning and my liver wasn’t healthy. My hormones were not balanced. I was hypothyroid. My digestive system was not producing the necessary enzymes to digest my food leaving me bloated and constipated most of the time. I also had a very high iron count that could have given me a stroke or heart attack. I had been to doctor after doctor trying to find out what was wrong, but it was Complementary Medicine that found the answer. Here, I was listened to with respect and they never gave up on me. I was willing to do 100% of what I was asked because I trusted the people caring for me. I did not get better immediately: my healing has been a process, and it is one that has many rewards. Today I am happy, alert, and eating most foods. No longer do I have joint pain, bloating or constipation. I am enjoying life for the first time since early childhood!

A New Perspective On Thyroid Disorders
The current practice of conventional medicine involves laboratory “tests”. Often the decision of what and how to treat is based more on the lab report on a piece of paper and less on the body on whom the tests were done. In a practice like ours where the person’s symptoms and story are usually the most important information, time is dedicated to developing a thorough history. The recommendations regarding treatment try to include the whole picture (i.e., the history AND the tests).
The thyroid gland is primarily responsible for regulating the general body metabolism and, if not functioning properly, can be a factor in numerous health disorders. The primary tools for evaluating thyroid function in conventional practices are the standard thyroid blood tests. No treatment is usually initiated without abnormal tests. complimentary practices, it is customary to use information in addition to the tests to determine whether or not to treat. After this rather lengthy introduction, I will now share one woman’s response to the evaluation and treatment of thyroid disorder based on symptoms and body temperature.
This 39-year-old woman presented with numerous symptoms suggestive of an underactive thyroid: weight gain, fatigue, difficulty with memory and concentration (such that she had interrupted further studies in her profession a year earlier), diminished sex drive, cold intolerance, subnormal body temperatures, headaches, joint and muscle aches, and fluid retention. Her thyroid blood tests were normal. However, in keeping with the philosophy of treating the whole patient and not the paper, it was decided to give her a therapeutic trial of thyroid medication. We first checked her EKG to assess heart status. Thyroid medication has a stimulating effect on the body and can be a potential problem if there is an underlying heart condition; also she was complaining of some chest pain with exertion. However, the cardiologist determined there was no underlying heart disease and we began treating her with medication. Her response to the prescription was dramatic. Within a short period of time, she began to lose some weight, her aches and pains diminished, she resumed her studies, her energy improved, she felt warmer and her body temperatures improved, her sex drive began to improve, and her headaches resolved…and her blood tests did not change!
In this particular case the medication used was a special form of T3 (thyroid hormone) based on Wilson’s Syndrome; however we have also used a natural combination of T3 and T4 with similar results. But, no matter which avenue of treatment is pursued, the underlying philosophy is one in which we treat the whole story/patient, not just the test results.
Patient’s Prostate Options
I’m a 42-year-old male who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I was told by the urologist and my primary care doctor that my options were surgery or radiation. The recommendation was surgery. I was told it needed to be radical. I did extensive research on both conventional and alternative cancer treatment. I chose alternative only since the side effects are far and few. Surgery didn’t guarantee the cancer would not spread. MY PSA test was over 17, my Gleason Score was a 4. I decided to see Dr. M. B. Schachter since he is known for alternative treatments for cancer. I followed his recommendation for diet, nutritional supplements, herbs, weekly vitamin C drips along with other intravenous treatments.
It is now six months later. I have no trace of cancer. I am now going to have drips every two weeks and continuing with supplements. I feel fine. Thank you to Dr. Schachter and other staff. I believe that cancer patients should have the choice to choose alternative treatment. Being fried, cut, or poisoned are not the only options.

Toxic Treatments Unnecessary!
Ten years ago I was diagnosed with DCIS, a pre-cancerous condition in my right breast. Conventional medicine prescribed a mastectomy or radiation and tamoxifan, even though I had no tumor. As a Registered Nurse, I was well aware that these toxic treatments were over-kill. Fortunately, I found Dr. Schachter who came very well recommended. After a very thorough work-up, he determined the cause of the cancer cells to be high levels of mercury, cadmium and lead that were suppressing my immune system. I began a treatment of chelation treatments to detoxify as well as nutritional supplements and acupuncture to protect me and boost my immune system. I also had all my mercury amalgam dental work removed. Dr. Schachter also diagnosed my Wilson’s Thyroid syndrome and treated me according to the protocol. As a result of his excellent care and my adhering to lifestyle changes, including diet, supplements and chelation, I am much healthier and have not developed any breast cancer. I am very grateful to Dr. Schachter and Sally Minniefield, PA-C, for shepherding me through to much better health and highly recommend their care to anyone.
A Lifetime of Depression Lifted
This is a 42 year old man who had been depressed for as long as he could remember. He was a good student, never got in trouble, but had no happy memories. He had always felt gloomy, as if a dark cloud circled over his head. In grammar school, for instance, he remembered being constantly depressed, with a correspondingly low energy level. He started to see a psychotherapist in 1985. At one time he was suicidaly depressed. He was not treated with medication, but the psychotherapist was able to maintain a level of function, albeit low. In more recent times, he struggled with memory and focus. His ability to concentrate was so poor that he hadn’t been able to read a book for over 10 years. He found that decision-making, particularly at work, was difficult. He’d had opportunities to advance at his company, but hadn’t the drive and motivation to do so. Additionally, in the last 5 years, he developed significant anxiety that was, at times, crippling.
In 2006, his general practitioner tried several popular anti-depressants which sedated him and made it very difficult for him to function, even to drive his car. He then sought help at the Schachter Center. At his first visit, the patient was instructed on a new dietary regimen and was given a test kit to take home that would measure the levels of his hormones and neurotransmitters. These were found to be abnormal, so we prescribed nutritional supplements for him that were meant to balance the levels of the neurotransmitters, and to optimize his hormone output. When he was seen for the third visit, seven weeks later, he reported that he had lost some weight, that his mental clarity was significantly improved, and that he was able to enjoy things that he had never been able to enjoy in the past, like movies and playing with the dog. He can’t remember ever feeling like this — simply happy. Naturally, he was excited at the prospect of feeling even better.(1-24-08)
If traditional treatment is not an option your comfortable with, please do your own research on BHRT. Dr Bertolino and his staff were very understanding of my concerns and fears. They answered all my questions and I began to realize that I had nothing to loose by trying BHRT. It has been the single most positive medical outcome I’ve ever experienced. I have and I continue to recommend this EXACT treatment to anyone who asks. I am the type of person that, if I wasn’t afraid of loosing my job, would not have tried this. I would have quit early if I could have, because continuing to work as things were, was simply not an option for me. I had to make a decision about some form of treatment, or risk loosing my retirement, or be forced to retire early. There is no doubt in my mind that my day was blessed the day I heard of and researched BHRT.

It’s been an incredible accomplishment! My daughter suffered from breathing problems for nearly 7 years. ViaRenew Greensboro finally diagnosed her with walking pneumonia. None of her regular doctors or specialists detected her health problem. For the first time in years, she has energy and can take a full breath! ViaRenew Greensboro has also treated my thyroid issues. I had been experiencing overwhelming fatigue and weight gain, and my regular doctors couldn’t find the source of my problem. Now I have lost 8 inches around my waist and my cholesterol is back in a normal range. It’s been and incredible accomplishment! We are at peace knowing that their number one goal is finding the best health solution for each patient.

ViaRenew Greensboro get to the root cause of your ailments. After years of seeing physicians who only diagnosed my symptoms, it was a welcome relief to work with ViaRenew Greensboro. They get to the root cause of your ailments. ViaRenew Greensboro uses a truly integrated approach consisting of holistic and western-based protocols to treat her patients. Although I moved from Greensboro several years ago, I continue to drive four hours to see them because their attentiveness is unmatched.
– Amy Rhyne
A care plan that worked. ViaRenew Greensboro has been helping my family for 5 years. I came to this office because my mainstream doctors weren’t helping me feel better. I was feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and extremely dizzy. The staff quickly determined that I had and issue with my thyroid and I was severely anemic. They partnered with me to create a care plan that worked. They made me feel 100% better! My son was diagnosed with autism, and they worked with me to find answers to help him feel better. Via Renew Greensboro understands that autistic children may have many bio-medical issues that contribute to their health and behavior. In addition, they were the first caregivers who noticed signs of something environmental possibly causing my daughter’s pituitary disorder. I was terrified for her, but they created a treatment plan to treat the underlining cause of her condition. At ViaRenew Greensboro the staff is professional and they take excellent care of their patients. I highly recommend ViaRenew Greensboro to anyone who cannot find relief from other medical providers.

Their teaching style will help you understand inflammation and toxins which are the core of many of our physical problems.

They gave me hope and got me on the road to good health!

I wanted to be treated as a whole person I began at ViaRenew Greensboro about 2 years ago. I had multiple doctors for the same symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, and poor concentration. As a nurse, I knew something was wrong, and I knew the symptoms were not related to depression. I was already familiar with supplemental treatments, and I was ecstatic to meet the staff.
I came to ViaRenew Greensboro because I wanted to be treated as a whole being, and not just receive a “band-aid” to mask the symptoms I was experiencing. After they took blood samples and performed lab tests, the results were astounding! They pinpointed problems that I had no idea were making me feel so bad. I immediately began treatment for my hypothyroid. They also discovered that a portion of my thyroid was not functioning properly. So we began supplements and treatment, and I began feeling a lot better!

I also had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and severe endometriosis. After analyzing my blood work and noting my family history of multiple cancers, they recommended I have a hysterectomy. ViaRenew Greensboro worked long and hard with physicians who denied my choice to have a hysterectomy. They referred me to a physician who agreed to do the procedure, and I have been pain-free ever since. After the procedure, I also chose to use bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and, with their help, I am now able to live a normal life.

Because of ViaRenew Greensboro’s help with doctor referrals and supplements, I have begun feeling like a 34-year-old woman should. I feel better knowing they are teaching me how to care for my body, my mind, and my spirit. Thank you, ViaRenew Greensboro for believing in me and helping me feel like a new person!

With chronic Lyme, there’s a fear that doctors won’t believe you. At ViaRenew Greensboro, I’ve always felt they met my needs and listened to me. The staff is friendly and everyone makes you feel comfortable, even during the IV treatments.
– Brinley Lowe
What a joy to find a Lyme literate community of medical professionals. My daughter’s first IV treatment came after a particularly bad week of complications related to Lyme and the flu. After not eating for a week, she had her color back
and was eating again later that night.
Despite the unavoidable herxing that comes with Lyme and its co-infection treatment, we have seen nothing but steady gains with her tailor-made Lyme treatment. Thank you Via Renew Greensboro. My hope is that everyone who is dealing with Lyme, “the great imitator,” will find their way to your door.
– Kim Lowe
I love ViaRenew Greensboro! The staff treats you with respect and actually listens to your symptoms. They do not blame you for how bad you feel; instead, they offer suggestions for things you can change and help you develop a plan. Since becoming a patient last year, I have lost 20 pounds, I am not as swollen, my pain has decreased, and I feel much better. Thank you ViaRenew Greensboro for changing my life!

I have been a patient of Dr. Skeen’s for many years. Being a disabled Army Ranger, and an amputee, I have tried to avoid knee and hip surgery. Orthopedists have tried steroid injections, only to provide minimal relief. The grinding and the pain would come back, only worse. Since the PRP treatment in my knee , the grinding has stopped. Every day, it feels a little better. I am so thankful for Dr. Skeen and his staff at Via Renew Greensboro for allowing me to be a part of this innovative therapy.
– James Gregorio
Many thanks to Dr. Skeen at Via Renew Greensboro for what has turned out to be a turning point in my life. On September 1, Dr. Skeen performed a PRP procedure on my shoulder. Within two weeks, I was feeling great relief of my pain, but also had a new outlook on the possibility of a full recovery. I am a professional landscaper *which requires tremendous wear and tear on the body* and suffered with my shoulder pain for many years. I had limited range of motion, and at times could not raise my arm without severe pain. It has now been six weeks since treatment, and I can truthfully state that I am at least 90% recovered in range of motion and pain relief. The professionalism of Dr. Skeen and his staff and the comforting environment made this experience worthwhile. I cannot fully express my appreciation and gratitude for the amazing result of a pain free shoulder.

Dr. Scott and his staff made me feel I was in the right place for help and took the time to explain everything when I had a question, never made me feel uncomfortable. They truly care about the welfare of their patients and make it a pleasant visit each time. Dr. Scott and his wonderful crew have helped me loose weight and get my hormones in check. I am definitely feeling better about myself and will continue to improve! Thanks and what a Blessing you all have been to me!
– Pamela B
Although today was my first visit to Dr. Scott I can already say he is the one I have been looking for for along time. The doctor is honest and explicit. He gave me the time to explain my issues and focused on some details that I wasn’t aware of. I felt very satisfied and that does not happen to me often. All I can say is that I would definitely come again.
– Faisal Asiri
I visited Dr. Scott’s office last Tuesday, April 14th, that was my 1st visit and it definitely will not be my last. I suffer from a hormonal imbalance and Dr. Scott saved my life. He gave me such positive feedback. Not only was he sympathetic to my symptoms he assured me that I will feel better. What I love about Dr. Scott is that the hormone replacement therapy treatment is all natural and it is solely designed for each individual. Dr. Scott has a wonderful staff as well. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Scott to anyone who is suffering with a hormonal balance. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! You are the best Dr. Scott!
– Deborah Worrell
Dr. Scott is very personable, informative and extremely easy to talk to. With his help, I am achieving healthy, realistic goals while working toward a better weight and a more physically fit lifestyle. The entire office staff is fabulous. Appointment times are flexible and work around my schedule.

I rarely leave reviews for any businesses. This is an exception for me. The level of care, compassion and service from the whole staff was such a blessing to me in starting to make positive changes in my life. I had hormone issues that no one else seemed to figure out. Other doctors just told me I was crazy. Dr Scott was really patient in helping me get the right treatment. I have never felt better in my life. I know God sent me to him for a reason. Everyone sees such a big change in me. Thank you Dr Scott and all the girls
– ANDREA
I love that I was able to spend a lot of time discussing my issues. I did not feel rushed and I am excited about starting the hormone therapy.
I want to say that Dr Mike as I like to call him is just wonderful. He is not just a doctor, but a person who relates to you as an old friend. He always and I mean always looks out for your best interest. He is very detail oriented and takes plenty of time to discuss with you everything he is doing, testing, explaining the meanings behind the test and then the planned route he is going to take with you.
He has called me many times at home to discuss issues you may have emailed him about. He is reassuring, kind and I think the world of him. I told a friend and she to now see’s him and she too trust him to guide her along the correct path. His lovely wife Kathleen is a real doll and has the patiences of a saint. They are a great team!

Dr. Mike will take you on a path of natural quality supplements that I promise will heal you. I feel a lot better than I did when I first got there. He goes so far into your genetics which shows he works from the inside and therefore it creates a better outside. Anyway, long story short… go see Dr. Mike, I promise it will be the best decision you ever made.
Thanks to two terrific and caring people who really do care about you from the inside out!
Dr. Citron is unbelievably knowledgeable and thorough! He did not just prescribe what I needed for health and wellness, he took ample time to teach me what was happening with my body and what the plan was for restoring me to peak performance. He clearly has a passion for understanding human anatomy and I am thankful he does constant research. Michael and Kathleen’s warm and inviting practice is not a drive-through hormone shop. I highly recommend them if you want to be assured you are getting it right with a plan designed just for you.
After bioidentical hormones, I feel like I’m 30 again.

I had been gaining weight around the middle, although I was exercising daily. It just seemed I was not getting results from my work outs. My muscle tone was turning to flab!

Every time I would try to talk to a physician about the way I was feeling, they would tell me that was just part of aging. The only thing they had to offer was an anti-depressant! I knew I was not depressed, but had no answers, until a friend told me about bioidentical hormones and how it had changed her life. I did the research on bioidenticals and could not believe the benefits. I have had my implants and my life has now changed in so many ways. My skin tone has improved, no more dry eyes, anxiety has disappeared, I sleep wonderfully and wake rested, my family is happy, and my husband -well let’s just say, Life is Good! I will never be without BHRT again!

I have always been pro-active with regard to the management of my health. Long disabled with multiple chemical sensitivities as well as being afflicted with (bi-polar) disorder has made it tremendously more complicated. A year ago, on the advice of my best friend, I walked into the calm of The Medicine Shoppe and was greeted by Anastasia. Immediately I was struck by this woman’s intent focus and generosity of spirit. It was clear to me then that we would be able to work together to meet my needs and achieve my goals. Many days I come in with rush orders and last minute changes. When one thing didn’t work we tried another till we got it right. Sometimes a doctor would have to be consulted. And I am also aware that there were days that must have stretched out long into the night behind the counter working on some challenge or another while family life went on without her. Additionally and unexpectedly we have also forged a wonderful relationship of which I am reminded every time I walk into the calm of The Medicine Shoppe to be greeted by Anastasia and her remarkable assistant Sharon.

David talked me thru a painful Saturday afternoon with several recommendations that helped but did not solve the problem. As a precaution he told me to go to the nearby emergency room. I was at the emergency room about 30 minutes when David walked into the room. I was surprised (actually shocked) that he took time from his family on a Saturday evening to be with my wife and me. He consulted with the ER physician and recommended a CT to rule out any serious problems. The ER physician concurred and the procedure was done. While nothing was found causing my abdominal pain, the CT disclosed a mass on my kidney. Long story short, David by his expertise probably saved my kidney and possibly saved my life. David: I have told you privately thank you. But publicly I want you to know how grateful I am for you expertise and friendship.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jayne’s for approximately 4 years. A friend referred him to me when I was searching for a doctor that practiced alternative and preventive medicine. Dr. Jayne has never disappointed me in his knowledge of health care without medication. I have appreciated his versatility in so many areas of patient care. He has treated me for everything from pain with acupuncture, to hormone therapy, to improving the appearance of my face with collagen injections, not to mention good basic health care. His staff is friendly, helpful, and always knows my name when I come to the office. I have never had to wait for an appointment time or in his waiting room to see him. His bedside manner is very pleasant, reassuring, and always greets me with a smile. I feel comfortable in his hands for my total health care.
– Linda
David is one of the good guys. My experience with physicians prior to meeting David was their need to run myriad tests (to absolve them of using any type of actual onboard knowledge) or they simply crossed themselves and blessed you out the door. When I met David I was immediately put at each because he was cerebral and ‘wanted to know.’
– Rob
Dr. Jayne is a true professional. He listens and evaluates carefully what you have to say. He has helped my wife and me over the last 4-5 years for the usual health matters. In 79 years of life, I’ve been lucky. I had little need for medical services, until recently. Last year, he diagnosed and treated me for serious pulmonary blood clots of which I was blissfully unaware. I am alive today to say thank you for saving my life.

Dr. Jayne helped my husband and me. He provided good education, support and guidance all throughout our process. He and his office staff are all great. Thanks Dr. Jayne!!!

I went to see Tara last month because for some time my blood pressure had been elevated, couldn’t find anything wrong), I was sweating all the time and had developed tremors. My doctor couldn’t find anything wrong. Tara took the time to listen to all of my symptoms, looked at my lifestyle and diet and ordered some blood work for me. It turns out I have an autoimmune disorder against my thyroid! She immediately called me at home, started me on a program and this week my symptoms are starting to alleviate. I am so glad I listened to my friend and went to see her! I highly recommend anyone to go to see her!

When I next saw Dr. W., he gave me a prescription for Lorazepam, and that kept me sane until I FINALLY met with Dr. Pettle whom I found FAR more calming than the drug, Lorazepam. But, finding Dr. Pettle was no easy task. Allow me to digress. In late May one of my friends in Toronto e-mailed me about a wonderful book she had read by a Dr. John Lee: ‘What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Breast Cancer’. That was my introduction to bio-identical hormones. I then began to read EVERYTHING I could find on the subject while searching for a doctor who knew something/anything about bio-identical hormones. Finding such a doctor came to seem impossible. I still remain in awe of the fact that I ACTUALLY DID find Dr. Pettle. It was my friend who had told me about Dr. John Lee, who, quite by accident, heard about Dr. Pettle and gave me his name. (By the way, neither Dr. Pettle nor my friend believes in ‘accidents’.) En route from Ottawa to Toronto with my husband to an appointment with Dr. Pettle on June 24th, I worried aloud that I was placing altogether too much hope in Dr. Pettle. On the trip back, I marveled that there had been NO disappointment, only RELIEF!
Dr. Pettle immediately impressed me as not only knowledgeable about bio-identical hormones, but also as an intelligent, kind, sensitive, empathetic, caring, person who could, and would, help me. Reading about bio-identical hormones had convinced me that I needed natural progesterone to promote differentiation in any cancerous cells that might remain in my body after the surgery, and I now believe that since the progesterone cream, which Dr. Pettle prescribed for me on that very first visit, has totally eliminated my previous hot flashes, that the progesterone cream is also very likely slowing the proliferation of any cancerous cells that might remain. I now find myself crying with gratitude that I found Dr. Pettle, because I truly believe he gave me my life back. His willingness to leave the security of his position as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Etobicoke General Hospital in Toronto, to establish The Ruth Pettle Wellness Centre, and to pioneer in the field of bio-identical hormones, bespeaks a man committed to an unselfish dedication to help those he can. I, for one, say ‘Thank you!’

I met Doctor Konigsberg about three years ago. As a mid thirties male, I was having trouble finding a doctor who would take me seriously in regards to my hormonal issues. I am very happy with the treatment I have received. Doctor Konigsberg was very patient and thorough in finding a solution to improve my quality of life. She is a very forward thinking doctor and she is consistently updating her knowledge on the present and future practices of medicine. What I appreciate most about her is that she gives you information to make informed decisions and is willing to work with you on making these decisions and how you would like to proceed with treatment moving forward. Its not very often you find a doctor that is open to working with you. Most doctors are practicing the medicine that’s been practiced for forty plus years. Doctor Konigsberg is evolving with modern medicine and has greatly improved my quality of life. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to enhance there quality and increase there quantity of life.

I see Dr. Konigsberg regularly for my hormones. (By the way she is not a naturopath, but a medical doctor.) I have seen other doctors for bioidentical hormones in the past. She is hands down the most knowledgeable one that I have come across. I hadn’t been feeling like my old self for years. We worked together, she listened and in time she found the right approach for me. I feel better than I have felt in years. I have the utmost confidence in her.

It began all so subtly when I was 45 years old. You know – feeling agitated by little things, no patience, easily angered and some anxiety as well. Then the night sweats started, hot flashes became a regular occurrence as did the feelings of paranoia. Any extraordinary stressors made life unbearable. I experienced depression, intense panic attacks and a complete shut down on all levels. Mentally I couldn’t think straight and emotionally it was hard to even talk to people. I own and operate my own business and I had to force myself to walk out the door every morning. My confidence in myself and my abilities was gone. The next few years were a living nightmare. I was making too many visits to the family doctor to receive prescriptions for anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressives. I couldn’t convince him I was menopausal. Blood tests finally revealed I indeed was pre-menopausal.
Finally at 51 years old, he prescribed a synthetic hormone replacement. I took the script to my local pharmacy and my pharmacist encouraged me to reconsider as he was concerned that the health risks were too great. He highly recommended natural supplements as an alternative choice. I went that route for 6 months. By Christmas I was dying. I was so physically, mentally and emotionally stressed, I was hysterical and fading fast. I am a slim framed woman and started losing weight rapidly those last few weeks. I made a desperate call to Dr. Sloan. When I saw him, he took one look at me and knew what was going on. After a saliva test, it confirmed my need for natural progesterone and estrogen supplementation. It was only a matter of months before I was “back” – stronger, feeling more vibrant than I had in a long time and I was looking better too. So my story ends- happy and finally healthy and balanced with thanks and much gratitude to Dr. Sloan. My situation was quite an extreme one but I absolutely encourage you to have the saliva test done. With natural hormone replacement, you will not only feel better but increase your quality of life.

For at least a year and a half I had been suffering from low energy, low sex-drive and erectile dysfunction(ED). I was recovering from an illness that had worn my system down and this is when I started to experience the above symptoms. I was constantly tired all day, every day and I honestly felt like I was getting old before my time. I was feeling decrepit, out of breath with exertion, huffing and puffing, sighing and yawning constantly. I knew there were medical options available but I was not interested in using prescription medications for Erectile Dysfunction. I was looking for something natural and safe; something that would correct the underlying causes of my problem.
I went online and searched for a doctor who specialized in Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. I found Dr Sloan and booked my appointment to come in to see him. As far as noticing any difference or improvement, it seemed to be rather slow for the first month or two, but Dr Sloan assured me that this was typical and to just hang in there. Then, over the next 4 months my symptoms improved dramatically until now at about the 6 month point I consider myself to be feeling much better and functioning very well once again. I was extremely pleased with Dr. Sloan’s personal attention and concern as well as his expertise.
Men may not often think of hormonal imbalance as being the cause or part of the cause of their symptoms but this has been a tremendous help to me. I highly recommend any men out there with this and other problems – don’t hesitate – get in and see Dr. Sloan. You will not regret it!

I had been struggling with a list a mile long of every menopausal symptom there was. I tried every herb and supplement on the market. Nothing worked. I read for hours on natural treatments. My hot flashes got so bad that I was having them one after another. I think at their worst I was having 30 or more a day. I was melting all the time. I couldn’t sleep; I was hot all the time and barely slept 3 or 4 hours a night.
That in turn made me miserable. I was moody, edgy, crusty, all of the time. My hair is thin to begin with but it was now falling out, which was really stressing me. My weight was slowly creeping up as well. In six months I had gone from 125 pounds to 140. I still did my treadmill and tried every diet out there. Nothing worked. I couldn’t lose a pound. I was taking my daughter to a driver training class in Simcoe and was sitting at a light waiting when I saw this giant sign about women’s hormones. I wrote the name and number down and couldn’t wait to get home to check it out. I read the few reviews on Dr. Sloan and called to book an appointment. I filled out the information form at home and couldn’t believe the list of what all was wrong with me. I took that list to my first appointment in January. Dr. Sloan had me send away a saliva test and ordered blood work done so that he could see where my levels were. Everything was out of sync.
Within days of taking my bio-identical prescription I felt relief of the hot flashes. Within a month I think the hot flashes completely stopped. I kept waiting for them to start or have at least one. Nothing, I couldn’t believe it! I was also put on good quality vitamins and supplements. I couldn’t believe how fast I started to feel better. I was sleeping through the night or 90% of it. I had much more energy. My hair stopped thinning. My weight went back down, I’m now 127 pounds. I am exercising again, doing boot camps because I now have my energy back. I am still being treated by Dr. Sloan and am wondering what we will do next. I would recommend his clinic if you are struggling with hormone issues. I am forever grateful I found him. I have gone to many naturopaths and homeopaths for the last 25 years. Treating my hormones naturally is important to me. Dr. Sloan is very professional; I was comfortable with him right away. I am so happy I feel like the old me! I would recommend him 150%.
– Kellie D.
I came to Dr. Sloan because I was very stressed, anxious, nervous and also couldn’t sleep. I found I was craving sugar constantly and had gained weight in the abdominal area. Some of my other symptoms were constipation, dry hair, brittle nails, thinning skin and ringing in the ears. I also had lost muscle mass and tone. I felt like I was aging too rapidly but my absolute worst nightmare was losing my hair.
Well, now the good news. Since I started on Bio-identical hormones, my hair growth and thickness has definitely improved! Also, the ringing in my ears has significantly decreased and overall I’m feeling much better. I am thrilled at the many ways in which Bio-identical hormones and nutritional supplements that Dr. Sloan recommended has helped me! I would definitely recommend Dr. Sloan to others as well as the importance of being tested for your hormones.
– Anne B.
I came to see Dr. Sloan with numerous concerns. After consulting with him, he felt that some of my problems were due to hormonal imbalance. These symptoms included hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, abdominal weight gain, irritability, mood swings, stress, memory lapses, acne, rapid aging, thinning skin and hoarseness. Dr. Sloan had my hormone levels evaluated and upon his advice, I began a regimen of bio identical hormones and nutritional supplements. My symptoms started to improve and I had hardly had any hot flashes, night sweats anymore. My sleep improved immensely as well as my moods. Dr. Sloan helped me from peri-menopause through menopause in a way that was remarkably smooth. I am now free from all the troublesome symptoms I was suffering with for so long. I am so thankful to Dr. Sloan for the wonderful quality of life I now enjoy.
– Barb B.
Although I was only 21 when I first consulted Dr. Sloan, I was experiencing symptoms that I would think only older women would complain of – severe hot flashes, irregular periods, mood swings, crying for no reason, and feeling cold all of the time. I was having irregular bleeding throughout my menstrual cycles, painful cramps, and heavy flow, and I was diagnosed with abnormal cells in my PAP smear. I had headaches, huge sugar cravings, difficulty sleeping, fatigue throughout the day, acne, and aches and pains. As well, I was feeling very forgetful, suffered from ‘foggy thinking’, anxiety, nervousness, depression, and was just feeling stressed. Dr. Sloan tested my hormone levels, and we commenced on a treatment regimen including bio-identical hormones. I was so happy to find that, within a relatively short time, my periods had normalized, my energy had improved to what I consider normal, despite the fact that I am extremely active and work long hours. Pretty much all of my symptoms have improved, including sleeping better, relief from constipation, and feeling balanced emotionally. My concentration has improved, and I don’t have the ‘brain fog’ anymore! I am so thankful to Dr. Sloan, and would recommend him to anyone who is having hormonal challenges.
– Lindsey F.
I consulted with Dr. Sloan for a number of difficulties that I have been suffering with since the birth of my second child, which was approximately 13 years ago. I have been plagued by many symptoms: fatigue, hot flashes during the day, feeling cold all of the time, hoarseness, irritability, mood swings, PMS, irregular and missed periods, muscle stiffness, and insomnia. I discussed BHRT with Dr. Sloan and, after testing for my hormone levels, he put me on bio-identicals to balance my hormones. I started to feel extremely well, with many of my symptoms decreasing or going away entirely. I have been very pleased with how the treatment has gone, and I look forward to continuing this much greater quality of life and health as I continue to work with Dr. Sloan.

After two years of slow progress and frustrating setbacks working with other doctors and on my own, it was a relief to meet Dr. Pepel. For the first time I feel like my health challenges are being investigated from as many angles as possible, and the links between my persistent problems with digestion, mood, and energy level are becoming clearer. She has helped me get a realistic picture of what my healing process will look like and to educate me on how I can address symptoms both individually and as a whole. She has been aggressive both in getting answers through testing and with making sure I’m comfortable through herbs and other supplements, but I never feel as though I’m being overloaded with these things. Dr. Pepel’s confidence is genuine and reassuring, and she is also humble enough to say, “I don’t know” when that is appropriate. It is a relief to have a doctor who not only has a sense of humor but also the compassion to sit with you when you are feeling your worst. She is generous with her time and it is easy to forget you are not her only patient, because she does treat you as if you are. It is obvious that working as a naturopath and healer is not just her livelihood but her passion. Her attitude helps motivate me to have the discipline and presence of mind to do the things that only I can do to further improve my health.
– A.L.
Thank you so much for taking care of me earlier this month. After two weeks of being sick, I felt MUCH better after visiting you. The very next day, I woke up feeling better for the first time, and I even showed signs of improvement that night after our visit. I have been bragging about the vitamin cocktail you gave me intravenously. I have even been sleeping better too, so thank you very much! Talk soon.
– Dina G
My experiences as a patient with Dr. Pepel have been great. She has well rounded skills of observation and thorough assessment from her experience as a medical and natural doctor. My compliment to her skill level is based on my own experience as a registered nurse. The skeptic can also appreciate that much of the natural treatments she has prescribed for me have scientifically been proven for their efficacy in the medical world. I always leave Dr Pepel’s office feeling better than when I arrived. My appointments with Dr. Pepel are not rushed and impersonal. I feel heard when I speak. It is a wonderful feeling to leave Dr. Pepel’s office feeling like a refreshed, individual with a renewed hope that my health can improve. So many times I have left other medical clinics feeling rushed out like patient #32, not truly heard with a drug prescription in hand. It isn’t every day that you meet an effective doctor with a great bedside manner.
– Sincerely, Ebony T. Johnson BSN, RN
Over the past couple of years, I had been suffering from migraines on an increasing basis. I tried traditional medicine which did not fully work, and even found myself needing increasing amounts of medication. I went to see Dr. Pepel, and she carefully considered all areas of my life, and looked for the cause of my migraines at the same time that she sought a solution. She provided me with a personalized vitamin program that has successfully reduced my migraines. I truly appreciate Dr. Pepel’s genuine and ongoing concern for her patients and I highly recommend her!
– Joy M.
When I visited Dr. Pepel’s Family Practice… I had the most life changing experience for my own life and my childrens lives. Dr. Pepel has given me confidence in natural remedies. She cared for my toddler son, when no other doctor could cure his ailment. Along with our healthy lifestyle these natural remedies she has helped us include into daily routine have given us clarity, freedom from allergies and knowledge about natural healing. Thank you, Dr. Pepel! And furthermore, my son adores her smile and attention.
– Valerie Hennessy
My family urged me to get help but after consulting with my traditional medical doctor I found she was limited to offering synthetic antidepressants. The side effects were worse than the depression to me and being drugged just left me feeling more lost than before. Antidepressants and pills for pain were just a band aid on a problem that would stay with me until I could figure out what was causing the symptoms of my illness. The worst part was that I had so many great things in my life, family, work, a home, friends, and creative ventures, but I couldn’t enjoy any of these things because I didn’t have the strength to see past the cloud of depression and pain. I was fortunate to find Dr. Pepel, she took the time to consider all of the aspects of my life, past, present, stress, fears and cycles of pain. She helped me to plan healthy eating habits and created a vitamin regiment specifically suited to my needs. Dr. Pepel addressed my illness with natural remedies and through her guidance I finally feel like I can enjoy true health. I have the strength I need to deal with life and be happy again.
– Thanks, Bonnie Veronica
Dr. Pepel is one of the few doctors that actually would go the extra mile for her patients! Just recently I developed some food allergies, felt short of breath which she thought it might be asthma. And I wanted to see a naturopath to help me get over my allergies and control if indeed I had asthma. When I called Dr. Pepel she immediately made an appointment for me to see her, and tried to find the best solution for me to feel better. One Saturday night I wasn’t feeling to well; I had called Dr. Pepel to notify her of my symptoms, and she gave me step by step instructions of what remedies to use to feel better. Everything she told me worked and I felt great. She even mentioned that if I don’t feel any better she would come and see me at home! Any doctor that is willing to see their patients at ten o’clock at night to be assured that they feel better is a doctor that I would see at any time. I am very happy with Dr. Pepel; she makes every effort to help her patients feel better.
Thank you very much Dr. Pepel,
– Lori D.
I asked Dr. Pepel for help when my daughter when she was 7 mos old. She was having difficulty sleeping at night and had habitual constipation, which was quite painful at times. I was reluctant to give such a small baby medications, and I had taken her to another naturopathic physician, but the treatment given, a generic mixture, had not helped at all. Dr. Pepel spent a lot of time carefully asking me about her symptoms, my pregnancy, the baby’s habits. She then recommended a homeopathic remedy.
One month afterwards my daughter was sleeping through the night and had regular bowel habits, all prior troubles now gone!Dr. Pepel then followed-up with a phone call to ensure that she was doing well and there were no other problems. I am very grateful to Dr. Pepel for all the attention she gave my daughter. As a physician myself, I am very impressed with Dr. Pepel’s clinical acumen, attention to detail, knowledge and caring, and warmly recommend her to anyone in need of advice.
– Samantha’s Mom
Going to Dr. Pepel brought me back to a condition of health. I am very happy with the results! Her unique ability to handle each patient individually and differently from any other patient, especially since I had a very uncommon diagnosis, was much appreciated. I can highly recommend Dr. Pepel, and I wish every one such a positive experience.
– Katharina Collins
I got to know Dr Pepel this summer. I was very sick from unknown causes, and couldn’t leave the house to go to the doctor. Emergency room was the other option my family suggested, but with no medical insurance to cover the high cost… Luckily enough, my daughter called Dr. Pepel Family Practice for advice. Dr Pepel asked about my disease, and offered to do a house visit. And the price was not higher than a regular office visit! She did a thorough consultation, and came up with my diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. She then closely monitored my progress with phone calls and follow up home visits.
Can you imagine how many thousands of dollars we saved by trusting Dr Pepel’s clinical judgment, instead of going to the emergency room? Not to mention all the healthy lifestyle tips I learned from her! I enthusiastically recommend Dr Pepel as a good specialist, offering a rare blend of experience and knowledge in both the mainstream western medicine, as well as naturopathic medicine. She is very resourceful, analytical, and has a unique combination of tenacity, willingness to help, and great interpersonal skills.

I have had hot flashes for over 10 years and have tried numerous conventional hormones and natural remedies without much success. My sex drive was almost non-existent. I was fatigued and depressed. Almost instantly after my first pellet insertion I found relief! I would highly recommend the BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy; it’s a life saver!
– SF
Hormone therapy has improved my hot flashes to the point that I have forgotten that I had them.
– Chandra
I am extremely pleased with the results of this procedure. Over the past six months I noticed an increased energy level, more restful sleep, mental sharpness and an overall increased activity level. My sexual stamina also improved! I would recommend this treatment to others who want to feel better in every aspect of their lives.

Thriving Beyond Pre-Menopausal Symptoms
I had all of the pre-menopausal symptoms and I was miserable. A friend in Arizona told me that there was a doctor in my area that could help me with these symptoms and I would feel great. I told her I was fine and that I could deal with the hot flashes, mood swings, waking up tired in the morning, and more. My friend did not give up on me and would not let me be a martyr. I finally went to see Doctor Anthony J. Bazzan. I was amazed at how great I felt. The only regret I have is that I didn’t go see him sooner.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bazzan. As my doctor, I feel his care and attention to my whole being. I admire his approach to medicine and helping his patients. He is not going to just give you a pill and send you home. Anthony J. Bazzan, M.D. is a highly qualified physician, and he has a very caring and professional staff.

Overcoming Fatigue and Improving Quality of Life
I sustained a spinal cord injury in 2005. I was blessed with a strong recovery neurologically, but no matter what steps I took, I could not overcome the overwhelming fatigue that remained. I received no answers from the medical community, so I began to investigate through the Internet any and all information that could reveal a possible explanation. I was fifty- two years old at the time, and the one common theme that evolved in my research was hormone deficiency.
Corrective actions that I found for hormone deficiency mostly involved pharmaceuticals, and ALL of which presented side effects that were not within my risk tolerance. So I continued my research and discovered a subject that was foreign to me at the time called “bioidentical hormone replacement.
That was what led me to Doctor Anthony J. Bazzan. Life as I knew it has never been the same. His comprehensive evaluation revealed that I was severely deficient in testosterone, and it was his opinion that was what was causing my extreme fatigue. He provided me with testosterone supplementation the same day and within one week not only was my fatigue gone, but my energy levels, mental clarity, and sex life had returned to levels of when I was in my early thirties.
This is no exaggeration! The supplementation I receive lasts for about six months and provides hormone levels that are constant and specific to my body chemistry. I have had no side effects. I continue receiving this therapy today as it has had a major impact on the quality of my life.
I highly recommend this therapy to anyone that Anthony J. Bazzan, M.D. recommends it. You will find both he and his entire staff are very professional and more importantly, they are very caring partners!

Giving quality of life back
My initial Contact with Dr. Bazzan started when my Husband & I were on a trip & heading back home sitting in the Denver Airport. My health at that time was declining to the point that my quality of life was suffering.I had heard of Dr. Bazzan through a friend so we decided to give his office a call from the Airport. His office staff was exceptional starting with this very first call. During my first visit Dr. Bazzan & l discussed, at great lengths, my symptoms; excessive sweating/hot flashes occurring every ten to fifteen minutes to the point of feeling like I was going to pass out, dizziness, irritability, muscle weakness, weight loss, racing heart, headache, change in bowel habits, difficulty retaining information, loss of sex drive… Doctor Anthony J. Bazzan’s approach was unique, encompassing, caring, direct & positive. This varied greatly from the five other Doctors I had seen over the previous years… Anthony J. Bazzan, M.D. diagnosis & treatments created a noticeable improvement in my symptoms & resolved my difficulties in a short period of time that has continued to this day… Anthony J. Bazzan, M.D. & his staff members create an atmosphere of total caring & support with emphases on the individual…
– Michele McKenna & my Husband are very grateful to Dr. Bazzan & staff for giving quality of life back
My sex drive is back! Better than ever. Thank you (my husband thanks you, too)!

Dr. Susan Wilson has treated me for over 16 years and I have found her to be a knowledgeable, compassionate and committed physician. She has helped me to educate myself on hormone replacement and the effects that hormonal imbalance can have on a person’s life. Her professionalism, ability to listen and pay close attention to details have been a benefit to myself and family members. Her positive approach to healthcare practices have been beneficial in helping those in her care to improve heir health and well being. I continue to be impressed by her ability and dedication and commend her for the role has played in helping others.
– PAS
With Dr. Wilson’s help, I was able to lose 30 pounds… and kept it off. I look and feel amazing!
– MM
I was convinced that there was nobody out there who could help me. True BHRT docs are very difficult to find. Dr Wilson was an answer to my prayers.
– KG
Bioidentical HRT helped me restore a sense of balance in my life. It’s amazing how everything goes haywire when the hormone system is out of kilter.
– SF
I was feeling tired, foggy and depressed when I entered menopause. I’m so glad I found Dr Wilson. She helped me get back to normal. I feel like I’m 30 again.

In working with Jane Kennedy, I feel I have someone who knows me, knows the kinds of issues a basically very healthy woman might have and yet need to deal with, and has the deep knowledge and experience to effect real change. Since working with Jane, I have discovered how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, when administered with skill and knowledge, can boost my energy, improve my sleep and shine more internal sunlight on my already-sunny nature! Discovering hypothyroidism and working with that at the same time, has been fantastic. Under Jane’s guidance things are functioning properly.
– Female, 61
As I had told Jane, I feel that I handle stress sooo much better than I used to.
– Female, 47
My husband is so impressed with what this has done for me that he was hoping that we could get him scheduled too!
– Female, 47
I hope you find relief like I did for unanswered questions and chronic illness that no one seems to understand. I believe Jane is a genius in these matters and can get you feeling better soon and getting down to the root of the problem. I want to reassure you that Jane is beyond gentle and is committed to getting you well. She is a healer and someone who intimately understands the delicate balance of the thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones. Many consider her a naturopathic healer but she uses modern labs and compounded Rx to achieve results that no other doctor can boast about.
– Female, 51
What can I say? How about OHMYGOSH! Is this how other people live? This is incredible! Four days after starting the supplements for my adrenal glands, I couldn’t believe how much better I felt. I have started sleeping a little deeper these past few nights which is wonderful! It’s been a week now since I started the two hormone creams. Wow. I am speechless. It has been years since I have felt like this. And longer for some of the other positive things I have been feeling. To have my body respond to my husband, well let’s just say he is thrilled to have me back too. It makes me sad at the years I lost but am thankful, so very thankful, for the years I will get (Lord willing).
– Female, 57
I came to see you originally because I literally was not sleeping. I’m happy to report I’m now sleeping 7-8 hrs. a night. I haven’t slept like that in decades. Since you recommended my starting the natural hormone replacement due to a borderline low thyroid my life has changed for the best. And I literally had tried everything. Thanks so much for helping me.
– Female, 66
Just a short note to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your services. I really appreciate everything you have done for me and continue to help me with. You are a very special health care provider and even more as a woman.
– Female, 52
It has been 5 weeks since I started the compounded thyroid medication. Wow! What a difference. I have not had this kind of energy or feeling of wellness in at least 10+ years, maybe never.
– Female, 44
I bless the day I found my way to Jane Kennedy. I was cranky when I walked in worried that she may even dismiss my complaints. Instead, she focused intently on what I was saying and immediately ordered certain lab tests, came up with her own diagnosis and prescribed the appropriate supplements and prescriptions. It is honest to goodness the truth when I tell you I have literally reversed the clock back by approximately 30 years (I am 62). I feel like a kid again. I can work hard, I sleep great, my mind is extremely sharp, and every single person who knows me has commented on how great I look and how young I seem while performing my demanding job. My Pre-Kennedy life –I was exhausted after only one hour of work; every joint in my body screamed in pain; life seemed bleak. I can now work more hours than Jane Kennedy would like me to; I have no hint of arthritis anywhere in my body. Life is so much fun these days, I just love my life!
– Female, 62
When I came to see you I felt I was doomed to walk the path of “aging” which included major depression, & loss of libido. Now I am more graceful and optimistic. Thank you so much! I don’t think there is anything worse for a woman than to feel she is frumpy, dumpy and sexless and that’s where I was. Now, I can handle my life again –with enthusiasm. I can’t thank you enough for listening to me and helping me with products that work. I had been complaining to my doctors about many of these symptoms for the last 5 years, but all I got was “Its part of aging.”
– Female, 64
After just one visit I want to share how thankful I am for the energy you have already invested in helping me to be well.
– Female, 52
Thanks for treating me for hormones. I now feel better than I have in more than 20 years.
– Male, age 62
I am feeling so good… My husband and I are both beyond grateful. I’m back to laughing, singing, gardening and feeling like my usual energetic, happy self!! I was telling my Mom that Jane saved my life… sincerely! I have back a life worth living. Amazing.
– Female, 53
I want to thank you for your great recommendations and supplements. Thank you, thank you!
– Female, 46
Since you prescribed Pregnenolone and Testosterone I am a changed woman!
– Female, 63
Thanks much for all you have done – I LOVE feeling better!!!!
– Female, 41
Jane, thank you very much. You are great
– Male, 59
My story is like many others. I tried to lose weight through programs such as Weight Watchers and NutriSystems, but I would usually just gain back all the weight I lost. When I kept gaining, I realized I needed to do more for my body than cut calories. My chiropractor told me about Dr. Hirsch, and in the year I’ve been working with him I’ve lost 55 pounds (with only 30 to go!).
Dr. Hirsch is motivating yet holds me accountable. Besides helping me regulate my hormones and other medications, he discovered some food allergies I never knew I had. I’ve learned how to eat for my health and to truly make it part of my life instead of merely a temporary plan.
– Juliann K.
Good morning Dr. Hirsch, Just wanted to give you a quick update. Anxiety levels have almost leveled out and I am feeling much better. I saw an OBGYN yesterday about my pelvic pain – she was SO happy with the regimen I was on for PCOS. She said they had actually just started using bio-identical hormones a few months ago for treatment. She gave me an A+. Just a side note! Thought I’d share because I’ve never heard another doctor compliment another doctor before – typically I just hear “well, they don’t know what they’re doing.
– Thank you, JL
I’m getting a lot of compliments from coworkers about my appearance, and people have even commented that it looks like I’ve lost more weight. So my intention is to worry less about the scale. Thanks again, Dr. Hirsch… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you helping me be so dialed in to my health!
– SK
Dr. Albert Hirsch is an outstanding doctor – he knows his medical specialty inside and out. I am fifty four and for the last fifteen years of my life, due to perimenopause and getting older, my energy, stamina, memory, and zest for life had taken a tremendous hit. Not only that, I couldn’t understand why my weight kept going up. No matter what I did, not only could I not lose weight, but I kept gaining weight! I started a new job in Dallas and I was having major mental fog and memory issues that were preventing me from learning and retaining what I needed to know in order to be successful at work. Nothing was clicking in my learning process and all I knew was that something was very wrong. I was terrified that I was working my way into dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease since that is what killed my father. I went to see Dr. Hirsch and he ordered blood work after reviewing my medical history form and discussing things with me. He went over my test results at my next visit and told me that my body had almost no measurable levels of several hormones that I needed in order to live my life well, and most importantly, get my mental sharpness and memory back on track. He also told me that once my hormonal levels were where they needed to be, it would be much easier for me to lose weight and maintain the weight loss that I achieved. Dr. Hirsch has been correct on everything he told me. I no longer feel like I am an old lady waiting to die – I feel vibrant, mentally sharp, the weight has come off, and I am still losing weight!
Dr. Hirsch is a no nonsense doctor who is not going to coddle his patients into doing what he recommends. YOU must be willing to take charge, be responsible for your health, and do what he recommends. He is there to support you, offer advice, and be your biggest advocate for better health. I wish I had met him 15 years ago when all the perimenopause issues started for me.
– Karan G.
Dr. Hirsch, In 2007, I was diagnosed with PCOS after experiencing extreme weight gain, hair loss, and acne. Before finding Dr. Hirsch online about a year ago, I saw countless doctors who unfortunately couldn’t seem to get a handle on my condition and how to work with it. My experience with Dr. Hirsch has been completely opposite. At my first appointment, Dr. Hirsch spent more time with me than any doctor ever has (and he continues to spend at least a full hour with me at each visit). He ordered blood tests, changed or added to my existing medications and also recommended vitamins, as some of levels of vitamins in my body were low.
I immediately started feeling better and my appearance improved — and continues to improve. My hair had really thinned due to PCOS, and it is now thicker and has grown past my shoulders. My acne is completely gone. I am FINALLY looking good again! I have much more energy and from an emotional standpoint, I am overall happier. Dr. Hirsch has also worked with me on my diet and I am now making much better food choices. So far, I’ve lost 25 pounds, which is amazing, as I wasn’t able to lose weight for at least nine or 10 years before meeting Dr. Hirsch. My co-workers and family members have given me numerous compliments, and they can’t believe the difference. My husband is ecstatic with my results and is also VERY appreciative of everything Dr. Hirsch has done for me (us). I truly, truly thank Dr. Hirsch for giving me my life back!
– Heather M.
I’ve been working with Dr. Hirsch since 2013, but amazingly, we’ve never met face to face. I live in Illinois and found Dr. Hirsch on the web. Although phone-appointments with one’s doctor may not work for everyone, I am used to this type of arrangement, as I have previously worked with another physician from California. I still see my local general practitioner for other medical issues, but Dr. Hirsch’s expertise on managing menopause and imbalances of my thyroid and other hormones is the best I’ve experienced by far.
During my initial contact with Dr. Hirsch, we established mutual trust and discussed my general symptoms. Next, he ordered labs and we set up our next appointment. Since then, each appointment begins with Dr. Hirsch asking me how I’m feeling and if I’m experiencing any new or different symptoms since our last consultation. We then discuss any additional lab results that have been ordered since our last visit and address them if needed. Immense stress can really throw off a body, and mine is no exception. Prior to meeting Dr. Hirsch, I endured a traumatic divorce process that seemed to recalibrate my entire system – I felt “heavy,” sad, and disconnected. I knew I had to get back on the track toward health and wholeness, and I wanted to accomplish it without antidepressants. Shortly after starting my journey with Dr. Hirsch, I felt the most incredible change. The “fog” lifted and I finally felt like I could trust my body and brain, once again, to make big decisions.
Now, at 60, I feel like I have the body of a 35-year-old. With the help of Dr. Hirsch’s prescriptions for necessary bioidentical hormone replacements such as thyroid, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, etc., I have the energy to exercise as well as focus on good nutrition and my spirituality. What’s more, I’ve lost 35 pounds. If you can make a true commitment to wellness and you’re ready for a change toward the better, I highly recommend Dr. Hirsch.
– Carol C.
I’ve been working with Dr. Hirsch since November 2015. For a few years prior, I suffered from serious depression, saw a psychiatrist, and even took antidepressants. I also gained more than 20 pounds, which is a lot for a small person like me who has been thin and fit her whole life. Then I gained weight, I would grow more depressed; and when I grew more depressed, I gained weight. I was on a merry-go-round that wouldn’t stop. Eating clean and working out two hours a day hardly made a difference, and I continued to visit various doctors to see if they could help.
I was close to simply giving up, but one day I found Dr. Hirsch online. I could tell he treated his patients with a different approach than other physicians, and after our first appointment, I could tell he “got it.” I’ve never seen a doctor who sat for such a long time to truly get to know me and my health. The other doctors were merely treating my symptoms of PCOS and low thyroid, but not the causes. My condition was complex, but Dr. Hirsch took on the challenge. He helped me get out of my depression, lose weight—12 pounds in just over three months—and overall just feel GOOD. Sadly, my father passed away a few months ago. Since I was already under Dr. Hirsch’s care and was making progress, I knew I could handle all of the emotional and physical stress on my body. I would be OK. Dr. Hirsch not only helps with my body and its changes, but he is also like a life coach, and so much more. I truly believe God put him in my life. I hope my story can help someone else!

Over the past four months, I’ve been getting better and better! My refined diet means I no longer eat processed foods; but I enjoy eating foods with substance such as beans, quinoa, and oatmeal. I’m also very careful to avoid simple carbohydrates and concentrated or processed fructose, which seems to help keep my PCOS symptoms under control. My improved nutrition, along with Dr. Hirsch’s expertise and use of hormone therapies and medications, have brought me back to the weight where I’ve felt the strongest and healthiest. My energy has increased greatly, and once again I’m enjoying yoga, Pilates, and spending time with my friends. There was a time when depression felt like my “normal.” Finally, though, I know now how GOOD I should really feel! I keep optimistic, and focus on getting even stronger every day.
I feel like Dr. Hirsch is my guardian angel. He is amazed and proud of my progress too; and when I see him for an office visit, my eyes fill with tears of happiness! Everyone sees the many advertisements for hormone replacement clinics touting remedies for everything from low testosteone, to anti-aging, etc. Dr. Albert Hirsch is the real deal but you won’t find him in the sea of print and billboard advertising. I went to Dr. Hirsch on a referral, not really knowing what I was getting into. I thought I was reasonably fit, but at 6’4′ I was a bit overweight at 265. With Dr. Hirsch’s guidance every aspect of my health has dramatically improved over about one year. I now weigh 226, blood work is in perfect balance, off all medications, bp runs about 120 /75, and I really believe at age 66 I am in better condition than when I played college football more than 45 years ago.
Dr. Hirsch leads by example—he lives what he teaches. He is steeped in true science, but is as practical and real as can be. While compassionate, don’t expect Dr. Hirsch to coddle—he doesn’t. He will tell you straight on what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. I assure you, if you follow Dr. Hirsch’s program for you, you will improve your health. If you don’t, the truth is you didn’t do your part. I’ve seen a lot of professionals in the health care field over the years and consider myself one who can discern true talent from average, hype, or a snow job. Dr. Hirsch is at the top of the heap in professionalism.

My story is like many others. I tried to lose weight through programs such as Weight Watchers and NutriSystems, but I would usually just gain back all the weight I lost. When I kept gaining, I realized I needed to do more for my body than cut calories. My chiropractor told me about Dr. Hirsch, and in the year I’ve been working with him I’ve lost 55 pounds (with only 30 to go!). Dr. Hirsch is motivating yet holds me accountable. Besides helping me regulate my hormones and other medications, he discovered some food allergies I never knew I had. I’ve learned how to eat for my health and to truly make it part of my life instead of merely a temporary plan.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Dr. Hirsch! For the first time in months, maybe years, I’ve had days where I actually feel like myself again. Wow! I’m blown away. Feeling like I have energy and motivation, can think clearly, and am not in pain… I never imagined that I would feel that way again and so quickly. I’m still having some downs here and there and times where I don’t feel so great. But I’m so hopeful now (I haven’t been hopeful until recently) and know that with time it’s going to become even better and easier. My psychiatrist is thrilled. I gave her the PCOS write up and she is very in tune with all of it. Thank you so much. Looking forward to everything!

My wife and I have known Dr. Hirsch for about 2 years. In that short time the quality of our lives has changed drastically. Beyond the unprecedented weight loss, Dr. Hirsch has guided us to a healthier lifestyle. Focused on hormone and nutritional balance, we have regained a youthful and energetic outlook to life.

Hello – my name is Steven Gendler. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hirsch’s for about three years now. I’m 68 years old and of mine who had lost quite a bit of weight and was looking really fit and feeling strong. He and I are avid tennis players and while he is almost ten years younger than I am we were closely competitive on the courts. All of a sudden he was beating me regularly and I was starting to feel my age. I visited Dr. Hirsch and was very impressed with his thorough health evaluation… including a very detailed blood analysis. His conclusions brought several recommendations for changes to my diet and exercise routine, and recommendations for vitamins, bio identical hormone replacement, and a recommendation for weight loss. I have followed Dr. Hirsch’s recommendations as closely as possible and am feeling very healthy, energetic, clear in my thinking, and overall enjoying very good health. In addition I am still very competitive on the tennis courts and recently won the 65 and over Texas State Doubles Championship with my tennis partner and teammates.
Dr. Hirsch focused on my weight control and diet control initially…then he added in the hormone replacement therapy along with vitamins and mineral replacements. He regularly has me follow up with blood tests and meetings in his office. I heartily recommend Dr. Hirsch!

Just touching base to say a big THANK YOU!!!!! I was unexpectedly called to a business meeting in LA and told the attire was business formal. It has been 1.5 years since I’ve worn any of my suits and as I work from home I’m typically in elastic-waist pants and t-shirts. So, when I tried on all my business formal attire out of the closet they literally fell off me (sz 14-16), and I had to go shopping for suits (sz 10-12). WOO HOO! I know we still have 20+ lbs to go, but I want to share my gratitude for your guidance and support during this process thus far.

I’ve been working with Dr. Hirsch for several years. His level of expertise and commitment for excellence are unsurpassed in the medical profession. If you’re looking for a doctor that has up-to-date knowledge and years of experience practicing medicine, you’ve come to the right guy. But he is not for everyone. He expects his patients to take their health as seriously as he does. He will not be very tolerant of poor effort by his patients. You’ll be expected to make healthy lifestyle changes or else! He’s not the kind of doctor that’s just going to give you a pill and leave it at that. He will take a personal interest in your wellbeing and use your lab results to modify your regimen until your blood work is optimal. So if you’re committed to a healthy lifestyle and are willing to make a few changes at his direction, then you’re going to love this.
I have referred many of my friends and acquaintances to Dr. Hirsch over the years and those who were compliant have had dramatic results. I’m doing great as well. Hirsch can spot problems that the other doctors miss and he knows how to fix them. I encourage anyone who wants to make a positive impact on their long-term health to contact Dr. Hirsch.

Dr Hirsch and Nurse Practitioner Kala Dehaan are amazing! They have helped me so much in my journey towards optimizing my health. They are the perfect team. After years of going to countless doctors explaining to them my horrible and frightening symptoms, they would only run generic tests that always showed I was “normal.” Because of the “normal” test results and the fact that I “looked” healthy, all the doctors I saw would brush me aside. THEN I met Dr. Albert Hirsch. Dr Hirsch was/is a God Send! He really listened to me and thoroughly explained his theories on health, bioidentical hormones and eating healthy ect.(my first appointment ran almost 2 hours long!) He ran many many tests, tests others doctors never had. Lo and behold, I have Hashimoto’s, PCOS, extremely low progesterone (why I know I also have stage IV endometriosis) and very low testosterone.
I started seeing him and Kala about 4 months ago and am already feeling a better. Unfortunately with thyroid diseases, finding your optimal dosage takes some time but I am getting there! The metformin given to me for PCOS almost instantly improved my insulin resistance/hypoglycemia symptoms! The progesterone supplements have done wonders for my endometriosis symptoms which include extreme fatigue and very painful cramps. And the testosterone cream has made me feel amazing!!!
Hirsch Clinic has such an inviting feel to it. Everyone is so nice there. Dr Hirsch really loves trying to help people feel better and I am sooo thankful to him! My case is rather complicated but he never turned me away. If anything I think my complications were more of a challenge to him, making him determined to figure out my body. He and Kala are always a call, email or text away! Even at night or weekends! They have gone ABOVE & BEYOND what even “good” doctors do, making them GREAT! Dr Hirsch is a straightforward guy so be prepared for him to tell you exactly what he thinks, which is what I think anyone would want in their doctor! Nurse Practitioner Kala DeHaan is almost his opposite. She is soft and gentle. Together they make an amazing team. They both want nothing more than for their patients to feel “great.” My advice to any new patients is to TRUST him and Kala. Follow their advice/instructions to the t.

Dr. Hirsch is a professional at what he does and has a direct but comforting bed side manner. He truly cared about his patients and works hard to provide exactly what they need. He also goes out of his way to help them understand their issues.

Extremely thorough, solved all of my problems — very enthusiastic about actually listening to my problems and working with me to come up with a healthy solution — not one that just means shoving medication down my throat. (He is very honest about diet.)

Dr. Hirsch Changed My Life!! I am 48 years old and have seen 4 other Bioidentical hormone doctors in the last 5 years and had zero results. I have been seeing Dr. Hirsch for 4 months and this is the first time I have seen results from any Bioidentical hormone therapy. I was diagnosed with having PCOS many years ago but Dr. Hirsch is the only doctor who figured out I am actually hypothyroid which Dr. Hirsch is correcting with a compounded thyroid medication. In 4 months my excess weight is finally coming off and I feel amazing. I did not even know I had brain fog until it lifted. I thought I had a normal happy sex life all these years until Dr. Hirsch balanced my hormones and now I feel like I am in a second honeymoon! My husband is thrilled!
I can honestly say Dr. Hirsch has changed my life for the better and I am so thrilled to have found him. Don’t even bother going to anyone else, Dr. Hirsch is the guy to see. He is the most competent doctor out there in my opinion and is such a pleasure to see. Call him! You won’t be disappointed!

I started seeing Dr. Hirsch when I turned 60, 51/2 years ago. I had been seeing several doctors (endocrinologist, gynecologist, breast surgeon, bone and mineral specialist, internist, etc.) for 12 to 15 years and was really discouraged about my lack of progress. I had insulin dependent diabetes, Hypothyroidism, osteoporosis, menopause symptoms and was overweight. Dr. Hirsch did a really thorough evaluation and found that my diabetes and thyroid problems were autoimmune. He addressed my immune system problems with nutrition, lifestyle modifications, vitamins and supplements. At the same time I started taking the proper thyroid medication that I had previously not been prescribed. He balanced my hormone deficiencies with natural, bio-identical hormones.
The results have really been wonderful! My sugar is normal. My bone density went up 20% and I was discharged from the bone and mineral department at the medical school. I lost over 20 pounds and went from a size 8 to a size 4. My energy and physical functioning are better than they were 25 years ago. My husband is really happy too:). I never knew any of this was possible. I am so grateful. Thank you, Dr. H
Dr Hirsch changed my life, I went to him almost 3 years ago weighed over 200 lbs, felt awful and no desire to do things in life that made me happy, due to feeling tired and just old. Thought that was the way you felt when you turned 50. Wrong! I have never felt better!! Dropped 80 lbs and have the passion back in my life! I can’t imagine not having his guidance, guess I’m aging, just can’t feel it! What a wonderful Man! This life is changed!!!
– Janet B.
Dear Dr. Hirsch, I do want to take the time tell you that OMG I have never felt better in my whole life! I have energy that I can never remember having, I’ve always been so fatigued even when I was a young child. You really are changing my life, I am convinced a higher power brought me to you. I always thought the way I felt was “normal” and just accepted it. I’m tearing up as I write this email, it is such a dramatic change in my life. I have energy to get up and go play catch with my son and take him to the park. My house has never been cleaner, it is just amazing the way my body is changing. Everyone close to me tells me I have transformed into a completely different person. Thank you so much for what you are helping me overcome. I am sure you get emails like this every day, but I feel I owe you at the very least this letter of thanks. I don’t know how I went on that long not knowing I was capable of being this new person. I’m a better mom, employee, daughter and every other role I play because of you. Thank you again,

When my wife and I went to see Dr. Hirsch We had been seeing another and thought our numbers were in line and healthy. But, my wife Vivian’s numbers were great, yet my numbers were not. Dr. Hirsch, showed me these numbers and said I best change a number of my habits in my lifestyle or 70 years of age my not happen. Well with his guidance and my Wife making sure his request were made my numbers now are in line, I feel better, energy level is great, fat percentage is down, Muscle content is up, 65 years old, play Racquetball with guys half my age, lifting weights, eat much better and feel like 120 years old is a possibility, well maybe 110. Thanks Dr. Hirsch for your being direct to the point and making my life longer, I admit God must have had a big hand in it for allowing you into our lives. Thank so very much for your help.

I struggled for over 10 years with fatigue and the inability to lose weight! I eat very healthy and work out five days a week. However, constant fatigue and average weight was the result year in and year out. I went to various doctors that did blood tests that showed “everything was functioning just fine”. Finally, I researched Dr. Hirsch and decided to make an appointment. The individual attention to detail was an immediate attraction to me! Dr. Hirsch takes your needs personally and does not stop until he finds the problem. Come to find out, my body was not producing testosterone and my thyroid was not converting (T3 to T4 or vice versa..not sure of the details) as it should. With the help of Dr. Hirsch I lost over 25 lbs and continue to feel younger and more energetic! My workouts and my eating habits are the same, but my body is drastically different now that things truly are working as they should. I wish that I would have found Dr. Hirsch earlier and saved myself so much agony! My job requires me to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit. Dr. Hirsch has helped me do just that! He and his staff are amazing and they will change your life!
– Deborah H.
Amazing all around. He always gets down to the source of the problem and fixes it right away! He’s very dependable and makes you feel very warm and welcome. If you want things done right in an efficient and effective way, he’s your guy.

A thoughtful doctor vs. a robotic doctor: Which would you choose? There is nothing I hate more than taking the time to talk to a doctor, and their response to me reflects that they did not acknowledge a word I said. Thank goodness I do not have to ever experience that type of frustration again. Dr. Hirsch is doctor who actually listens, works through my health concerns and finds solutions. I will see Dr. Hirsch for every phase of my life- my general health physician, I will consult him if I ever have to manage a disease or broken bone and as I age I will talk with him about my hormones and anti aging medicine. He is truly a one of a kind doctor.

At first I thought all of the positive reviews for this clinic couldn’t possibly be true, but after a comprehensive round of HCG I understand why Dr. Hirsch is so highly rated. His program had all of the information found on the net plus other things that he and his staff have developed. I lost an average of a pound a day for 47 days. It was not easy, but it wasn’t real difficult either. When the weight starts coming off, its like opening a present every morning when you get on the scale.?

A unique approach. I have been on the diet roller coaster for years with no real success. I was referred to Dr. Hirsch by a friend and decided to get a consultation. I had done a little research on HCG and it seems like there is a provider on every street corner peddling this as the end all to beat all for weight loss. I expected to be rushed through and quickly set up on a plan for its use. It was refreshing that Dr. Hirsch not only required blood work for me, he actually explained, in great detail, the need for balance in my hormones and how that could equally affect my strides in losing weight. I would highly recommend Dr. Hirsch for anyone who is truly concerned about their overall health and how that relates to weight loss. Today, I have lost more than 50 Lbs and I feel healthier than I have in 20 years?

A Dallas Physician You Can Trust?. Until I met Dr. Hirsch, I didn’t know that a physician existed who “does it all” — but he does. He doesn’t just focus on one’s weight, pains, or ailments; rather, he truly dives into what is causing the problems in the first place. Problems can be caused by hormone levels, blood sugar, etc. — Dr. Hirsch will find it, and help you work toward a solution that leads to great health?

Awesome, knowledgeable doctor! I was referred to Dr. Hirsch for his weight loss HCG program, my husband went with me for the initial consultation & we both decided to go on the HCG program (my husband will give you his own great results). The first 6 weeks I was losing weight but due to my hormones being unbalanced not as fast as I could have. It was obvious to Dr. Hirsch that the person trying to balance my hormones was not doing a very good job (I was an emotional wreck). Dr. Hirsch balanced my hormones & the HCG program worked even better. I have gone through 3 HCG cycles have lost 82 pounds my weight is less than it was 25 years ago & due to bio-identical hormone balancing I feel like I did 25 years ago. Dr. Hirsch is a dedicated doctor who genuinely cares about your overall health. Follow his guidelines for HCG & bio-identical hormone programs you will lose weight & feel great.

The Total Doc!! Dr. Albert Hirsch is a new kind of doctor with over 35 years of practicing medicine. He has a refreshing philosophy on patient care and the total medical knowledge you need to feel good and vibrant. If you are under the care of a medical professional who has the worst bedside manner, no listening skills and seems to push prescriptions to fix symptoms that then cause 50 more symptoms. It is time for a change. As a fellow professional, in the business of helping people achieve a higher quality of life, I can recommend no better MD than Albert Hirsch. His life has been dedicated to medicine and his satisfaction comes from hearing his patients rave about how good they feel. The body is the most complex set of systems and you have to treat the body realizing that it needs to maintain balance in order to work at its best. If you met his patients, they would tell you that they have achieved this or are on the path to seeing and feeling this higher level of feeling good.

An excellent doctor! Dr. Hirsch is an answer to prayer! My body just wasn’t working correctly and I had gained about 50 lbs since getting married 5 yrs ago. I’m only 40 and already am Menopausal. I did a web search for bio-identical hormones which led me to Dr. Hirsch. My husband and I both went to see him for my initial consultation. Right away, Dr. Hirsch knew that he could help us with both the hormones and, seeing that we were over-weight, with weight loss. He started us both on the bio-identical hormones and within 2 weeks we started feeling better for having more energy and being able to get the deep sleep we needed. Then we started on the HCG diet and the weight just came off! This is not a miracle diet. You definitely have to follow the guidelines the doctor has set up for you to maximize the weight loss. I lost 35 lbs in six weeks! The most Dr. Hirsch has seen any female lose.

I have been going to Total Med Solutions for two and half years and I can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff is knowledge, very professional and the spa is extremely clean. I initially came for HRT and lipotropic injections (vitamin B12 with a fat burner) If I’d known how much better I would have felt I would have started both a long time ago!

I would definitely recommend Ovation Med Spa® as their customer service is out of this world. I know all of the people there like they are family and they treat me the same. I have had several different treatments and have mostly been pleased with them all. However, I recently had the Vanquish done on my upper thigh area and was so completely disappointed that I was almost in tears when I took my final pictures and results. I could not tell any difference at all in the loss of fat and am also out the money that was hard to justify to my husband in the end. Proceed with caution.
– Shannon S.
The people at Ovation Med Spa® were the best. I was able to achieve my goals plus some. I cannot thank you enough. I lost 26 pound and between 4 to 6 inches off my thighs hips and waist. I became active again and rode in the MS150.

I’ve been to plenty of medical spas and plastic surgeon’s offices around Houston. This office is the nicest and most professional office that I have been too. My coworker told me about this place because she frequents this office often. I’m so glad that she told me about this place because now I’ll be a regular. The receptionist was very sweet and she checked me in quickly. Everyone I saw that was in this office looked like they really enjoyed their job. After I was checked in, I was called back for my appointment almost immediately. When I arrived to the room I met Sarah and Kim. They were super sweet and helpful. I will definitely return and see them again. I will be recommending this office to everyone I know!

HE’S GREAT! Caring, knowledgeable, great bedside manner. You can tell he definitely cares about you as his patient. Office very efficient. Rarely even sit in waiting room before being taken to exam room and Dr. Curanovic is in shortly. Office staff very friendly and helpful. A great experience every time I go there.
Dr. Curanovic is the absolute best doctor I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Dr. Curanovic is AWESOME!!! He caught an auto-immune disorder that I believe I have had since I was a little girl and I have been to endless doctors and ER’s and it always boils down to them telling me nothing. He found this on my first office visit with him, if you have experienced this go to him and I bet he finds your issue! He will never understand what difference he has made in my life, I have been fighting this my whole life and its over finally i can get better! THANK YOU DR. CURANOVIC!
Dr. Curanovic has been my primary care/internal medicine doctor for many years. I have total trust in him and his decisions regarding my health care. I find him extremely caring and easy to talk with. He is patient with my concerns and explains everything in layman language. I’m extremely impressed that there little to no waiting – appointments are on time. I like the staff and find they are polite and professional. I highly recommend this office.
My husband and I have been Patients of Dr. Curanovic for about 14 years. Appointments are always on time and I feel that he is extremely through. He caught my husband’s cancer when everyone else said, now how did you find this?? We love Dr.

Dr. Berutti is knowledgeable, patient and knows how to address your true health issues. No more searching for a Dr. who will actually make you BETTER! She comes highly recommended.

Dr Berutti is extremely knowledgeable and listens to her patients! Due to her patience, knowledge base and skills, she discovered my current health complaints were related to issues I had 30 years ago. With her help, I feel so much better! Can’t thank her and her staff enough! Blessed to have found them.

We work with Dr. Berutti to create personalized vitamins for her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable about nutritional supplements and spends a lot of time and attention preparing each patients ideal supplement formula. She is always kind and patient and truly cares for her patients.
– Sam A.
Dr Berutti is a hidden gem. She is an expert in her field and takes the time to truly listen and understand your whole body, without judgment and jumping to conclusions. We have been working together over a year to balance my hormones. My body is very sensitive to medicines and we’ve had to go very slow with small strengths to get them in line. She also provided other options since oral capsules were too strong for me. Dr Berutti is very patient and kind and her bedside manner is unparalleled. I also respect her vast knowledge on supplements, which so many doctors lack. Last year I felt so terrible – some days I just wanted to throw in the towel, but I kept pushing forward and now feel much better. It’s actually unbelievable how I feel now compared to last year. I’m excited to see how I feel when all my hormones are at their appropriate levels. I can’t say enough good things about Dr Berutti. Her staff, Sara and Diana, are also phenomenal. They are so very helpful and kind.
– Laura B.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the only way to go! I am 58 years old and I feel better than I have in a long time. Dr. Berutti has gotten my hormone levels in synch again — thyroid, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA and testosterone. I sleep better, have more energy for exercise and other daily activities (including a full time job!) and my skin has taken a fresher, more youthful appearance. I am so excited that she has developed Dynamic Life Health Center. Just knowing that I am fighting the aging process in a healthy way is everything to me. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Yelin improved my quality of life. She is knowledgeable, listens and understands that it ISN’T just ‘in our mind’ or a ‘fact of getting older’. I highly recommend taking a bit of time to consult with her. You will be very pleased you did.
– Susan W.
Since seeing Dr. Yelin, my energy level is up, the brain fogginess is gone and I feel great. Dr. Yelin took her time to explain the effect of each hormone she prescribed and the benefits I could expect to receive. I recommend a visit to her office if feeling good is important to your life.
– Ruth A.
After I started the treatment suggested by Dr. Yelin my ability to focus at work improved, as did my mood. She is very committed to her patients and passionate about helping. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Yelin is very professional and helpful. She puts in the time to understand your problems and design a solution. I highly recommend Dr. Yelin.
– Wim W.
I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Yelin when I did. Hormonal issues started taking there toll, and conventional advice from my OB/GYN was not effective. I didn’t realize, until consulting with Dr. Yelin, that some other health issues could also stem from unbalanced hormones, and possible food sensitivities. Dr. Yelin listened intently to my health concerns and took the necessary time required for a through assessment and treatment plan. I now feel like a new woman, thanks to her guidance and expert care.
– Cheryl W.
Dr. Julie Beth Yelin of Choose Health Wellness Center is one of those rare physicians that truly takes an interest in her patients wellbeing. In the years that I have dealt with the medical professional I find Dr. Yelin’s approach refreshing. Without hesitation she provides her prognosis, solutions and the details that support her conclusion all in a manner clearly understood by the non-professional. I cannot recommend Dr. Yelin highly enough.
– Frank G.
I feel ten years younger, maybe fifteen who counts those numbers anyway. My arthritis is not a problem, easier to move, life is better. I would recommend working with Dr. Yelin without reservation at any age.
– Rosanne F.
I choose health for myself and I was pleased to find Dr. Julie Beth Yelin, in The Woodlands. She spends time listening to her clients and getting to know them in order to guide them on their wellness journey. I have and will continue to refer my clients to her.
– Vicki Simmons
What a game changer. If your looking to be healthier and feel better Dr. Yelin can help you accomplish that. Male or Female give Dr. Yelin a chance, and feel better!

I had been on Hormone Replacement Therapy for 14 years. I was afraid of what it was doing to me, but I didn’t really know that there was anything safe out there. Dr. Jones had me tested and found out that I was low in 4 out of the 5 major hormones. I was relieved when he told me that, because I thought I was going crazy. Talk about “hormonal” – I was so emotional all the time. Six weeks after I was put on the Bio-Identical hormones, I felt like I was a totally different person. I felt level. I felt stable.
– Lisa T.
I’m 48 years old and I never wanted to take any hormones because of everything I had heard the last few years. Then I started having hot flashes every night and sometimes during the day – gradually at first – but then they became regular. Then I started gaining weight around the middle. I’ve never had to worry about that before. My older sister told me I was going into “the challenge,” and that I needed some hormones. I started asking around and was referred to Dr. Jones. He found out that I was low in estrogen and progesterone. In less than one week on the new kind of healthy hormones-no more hot flashes! Even my husband has commented that I don’t seem to get the PMS that I used to have. It was so simple!
– Terri N.
My biggest complaint was that I was always tried. Even if I slept 10 hours the night before. I just was dragging all day. My doctor put me on thyroid medicine many years ago-when I was about 28. After talking with Dr. Jones, I decided to have myself tested, and sure enough, my thyroid was low. I had gained almost 30 lbs. over the last two years. Dr. Jones changed my thyroid to the natural kind and wow! What a difference the right kind made. My energy levels are way up, and now I love to exercise. I can’t say enough for the great changes I’ve felt.
– Nikki S.
My aunt told me about Genesys Medical Institute. She nagged me long enough to have me make an appointment with Dr. Jones. Next year I turn 40, and I was already considering HRT. I’m so glad I found out about the Bio-Identical, natural hormones. My OB/GYN wanted me to go on Premarin about 5 years ago. Knowing what I know now, there is no way I’d ever take that stuff. Since taking the right hormones, I have felt so much better than my GP has taken me off my Prozac.
– Nora P.
This has been life-changing for me. I’m 22 years old. I had no energy. I was depressed. I had terrible PMS. I was gaining weight and I didn’t really care anymore. My husband and my mom went in with me to see Dr. Jones. After the tests came back, I was really relived to see that it wasn’t all in my head. My hormones were so low and out of balance that I could barely function. I’ve been on the bio-identicals now for almost 6 months. At first the changes were slow. Pretty soon I saw my moods improving — probably because I had more energy. I can truly say that I am not even the same person now.
– Jennifer T.
8 years ago my cholesterol was at 380. By taking Lipitor they got it down to 260, which was still way too high, plus all the bad side effects. Dr. Jones told me that high cholesterol almost always was a sign of low thyroid. We tested my thyroid and I was very low… and tired all the time. After 3 months on the natural hormones, my cholesterol is now 160, without Lipitor! I am so pleased with the outcome, and my energy levels are up, too.
– Peggy L
Like it or not, menopause hit me like a ton of bricks. Even though I’m a nurse, I didn’t really expect it to be that bad. I gained weight. My bladder started leaking every time I coughed or sneezed. I was tired all the time. My sex drive was gone completely. I had fluid retention, hot flashes, and I was a witch all the time. I had read Suzanne Sommer’s book called “The Sexy Years” and that was exactly what I was going through. I talked to the doctor that I work for and I was so upset because he wouldn’t even consider letting me try the bio-identical hormone therapy. He said there was nothing wrong with Premarin, which I knew wasn’t true.
I started calling all over to find a doctor that knew about the new type of healthy hormone therapy. I was finally referred to Genesys Medical Institute. Then I got a real education. Dr. Jones sat down with me and explained everything about the way low hormone levels could affect just about everything I was going through. I couldn’t believe I’m a nurse and I didn’t know half of what I know now about the importance of keeping my hormone levels up if I want to feel good for the rest of my life. I tell everyone now!
– Cook.
I’m a 58 year-old dentist. I have been active all my life. About 4 years ago my wife accused me of being no fun anymore. She said I was a “couch potato”. I was. I was so tired all the time. I had lost the passion I once had for my profession, even though I kept at it. My drive was gone. I wasn’t the typical aggressive guy I had always been. I felt like my battery was totally drained. My wife attended a lecture that Dr. Robert Jones gave about hormone therapy. She came home that night and told me that she was going to make an appointment for me. I said, “No way.” She’s very persistent, and soon I was visiting with Dr. Jones. The testing showed that I was quite low in thyroid, and extremely low in testosterone. After 6 months of hormone therapy, I’m back on top of my game! What a difference the hormones make. Personally, I think any man over 50 who is wearing down should get checked out for low hormone levels. I sent my younger brother in and he was low too. My partner at the clinic asked me about it, and I bet him $10 that his hormones were low. They were, and now he’s a believer, too.
– Dr. Jay N.
I’m a personal trainer. I see so many women who diet all the time and they work out 6 times a week – and they just don’t make any progress. They don’t lose weight no matter how hard they try. It’s very frustrating for me, because my job is to get those pounds and inches off them. I have referred many of my clients to Dr. Jones for the natural hormone therapy, and they always come back so excited after having their hormones tested. I have observed that after we get their thyroid up, then the dieting and exercise pays of big-time. The testosterone helps get rid of the flabbiness much quicker. They also have more energy to exercise when the hormones are balanced.
– Talbot
What a difference hormones make! I haven’t done the menopause thing yet, but I know it’s coming soon. My PMS was so bad, I was scary! Little did I know that my progesterone was so low. I had used the creams from the health food store, but they were apparently much too weak for my low levels. After two months on the bio-identical progesterone, I barely even knew I was pre-menstrual. I’m not on such an emotional roller-coaster now.
– Marie F.
I’m 56 years old and my hormones were a mess. I had taken HRT for almost 10 years because my doctor said it would prevent cancer, heart disease and many other things. My sister then told me that the old HRT could actually be harmful. I got off them and went on the bio-identical hormones. Now I don’t worry about the side effects at all because they are all natural. My energy levels are much higher, and my incontinence is gone altogether. It’s nice that the natural hormones are so much cheaper, too.
– Decker
Who would have thought that I could have thought that I could have hormone problems? Here I am 36 years old, mother of three beautiful little children, and yet I couldn’t cope with life. I had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but none of the doctors could tell me what caused it. I was dragging all the time. I was so stressed out and couldn’t keep up with anything. I was seeing a therapist who referred me to Dr. Jones to have my hormones evaluated. I was amazed when all the tests came back.
Finally somebody could give me a reason for how I was feeling. My thyroid was extremely low. Funny thing is, I had it checked before and they told me it was okay. But they hadn’t checked the right things. Also I had a problem with my progesterone levels, which was why I was so emotionally drained all the time. After about 6 months on the right amount of natural hormones. I was so much better. I still had a long way to go, but I could see light at the end of the tunnel. It’s all so different now.
– Marilyn S
Running a busy law practice is very demanding. I had done well for years. Then gradually I felt myself not caring as much. My wife told me I was grumpy all the time. I had always loved running – I even ran a marathon. But over about a two year period I lost my endurance. I felt pretty burned out about everything. I had no enthusiasm for anything. Dr. Jones is a personal friend of mine, and I mentioned it to him one day. He told me I was going through something called ‘andropause’—or male menopause. So we had me tested and it said I had only a small amount of testosterone. So he put me on the natural, bio-identical testosterone. It took a while to find the right dose, but when we did, my endurance returned. I hadn’t rally realized that I had turned into a grumpy old man that didn’t want to do anything but watch sports on TV. Now the zest for living has returned.
– Paul H.
I’d tell anyone about my experience with natural hormone therapy. It has made such a huge difference in my life of my daughters. I was really skeptical at first, especially since I asked my family doctor about the Bio-Identical hormones and he had never even heard of them. So I looked them up on the Internet and found out tons. I didn’t believe in using drugs to cure anything. But I read that these new hormones are not good drugs. It was at that point that I decided to try them. I felt so good after 6 months that I sent both of my adult daughters in for testing. Now they’re telling all their friends. I’m a believer!
– Nancy A.
Fantastic. That’s how I would describe it. I was on Prempro for years. Then I saw on the news all about how those hormones were harmful for women. I talked to my pharmacist about the alternatives and he gave me Dr. Jones’ number. The rest is history.
– Halling
My doctor told me I was in ‘peri-menopause’ at age 51. I was having irregular periods, mood swings, loss of sex drive and fatigue. I had also put on about 10 pounds that I could not seem to lose. After a lot investigation, and reading the book by Suzanne Sommers, I decided to look for someone who could help me with the new bio-identical hormone therapy. I was referred to Dr. Robert Jones at Genesys Medical Institute. I can’t say enough about what I learned and experienced by going on the “healthy hormones” as I call them.
I would say that every one of my problems has gone away after taking the hormones. I really didn’t know that hormonal imbalances could affect so many areas of my life. I don’t even have the ‘brain fog’ anymore. But probably the biggest thing that I have seen over the last few months is the overall increase in my energy levels. I had tried vitamins, herbs, exercise (which exhausted me!) yoga—you name it. Little did I know that it was simple matter of low hormone levels. Dr. Jones said he was going to keep me at about a 40-year-old level of hormones. I’m loving that!
– Linda K.
I came in for weight loss and found out my hormones were as low as they could go. I was tired, fatigued, and always had a headache. So I went on Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement of testosterone, progesterone, iron, and DHEA and Armor thyroid. After I stopped taking the synthetic hormones I noticed I was feeling better but still had headaches and fatigue. I have been on the Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy for 1 week and I feel great! I sleep better and longer and I don’t have headaches anymore and the fatigue gets less and less every day. I can get all my housework done. I feel so much better about myself. I am now going to do the HCG for weight loss and anti-aging effects. I have already lost 6 lbs. since starting the hormones. I plan on being on the hormones as long as I need them. I recommend this to everyone I meet!
– Walker
I was experiencing exhaustion, depression and hair loss. After 2 days on progesterone was enough improved, I felt giddy. My only hope was that it would stay and it has. My energy levels are way up. I also tried the HCG protocol and am very happy with the results. Although I am not quite where I want to be yet, it has put me a lot closer to my goal. Because I have energy and I am no longer walking around in a mental fog, my quality of life is greatly improved. It has me a lot stronger person, and although I am a people pleaser, I don’t feel so guilty about saying “no”. I also sleep so well at night that my teenagers are commenting they can have their late night parties and I don’t get up and get after them.
– Janice C. Riverton
I came to Genesys Medical Institute for the HCG weight loss program. After the program I found out that my hormones were off and I could not lose weight because of my depression medication. I have been very please with Genesys Medical because now I feel great. I have more energy, a better attitude and much happier.
– Holt South Jordan
Great news. My energy level is significantly improved (I would estimate 50% more stamina on my daily bike rides), I’m sleeping much better, and one MAJOR BONUS. After 35 years of daily migraines, I am now 100% migraine free. Migraines diminished gradually for three weeks after the pellets were consumed daily by this
– Dennis Martin
Hormone therapy has done wonders for me. I first heard about D. Andrew through a friend who has had great experiences with HRT as well. I thought feeling yucky was just a way of life. However, since my treatments of HRT feelings of depression, anxiety, and fatigue have all been helped tremendously. I can always tell when my pellets run out because of the drastic difference it makes. I am a true believer in HRT.
– Angela Cochran
My experience with Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy has been very positive! For 10 years, I tried to address my low hormone levels with creams, but they didn’t work for me. Then I came to Dr. Andrew and he switched me to Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets, I finally feel like myself again! It makes such a huge difference in my energy levels and mental clarity. The staff in Dr. Andrew’s office are always nice, helpful and friendly. They aren’t’ stuffy or intimidating and never made me feel like I had too many questions.
– Sherie Thain
I have never felt this wonderful! I feel almost 20 years younger than when I started coming here 13 months ago. I can’t tell you how much you have done for me! Before receiving my first bioidentical hormone implant nearly two years ago, I didn’t understand the difference it would make in the quality of my life. I feel stronger, more vitally alive, full of energy and the desire to live my life to the fullest, as well as a renewed interest in intimacy with my husband. If asked to give the hormones up, I would be very unhappy!
– J.T. age 60
I feel like I accomplish more real medicine with you–getting down to the bottom of what is really going on with me – than I have with any other doctor I have ever had. I’ve been using the pellets for a couple of years. My joints aren’t stiff, my muscles aren’t flabby, I sleep at night, no hot flashes, no headaches, and I get mild exercise three days a week.
– C.S. age 61
I feel very good these days! Since I got those pellets I can carry two sacks of groceries in the heat without any difficulty. I feel like a million bucks. You’ve got me tuned up just perfect.

I have never had a doctor talk to me and explain things. They just walk in and say ‘you’re too fat. Get it off.’ and walk out.
– B.W. age 56
Several months ago, I was feeling terrible. Specifically, I could not sleep, had very low energy, hot flashes, depression, body pain, hopelessness; a general sense of malaise. I saw a slew of physicians prior to Dr. Terlinsky. They were either lacking knowledge regarding how to treat my symptoms, wanted to introduce a high amount of drugs to mask my symptoms or were just plain apathetic. My frustration culminated when a doctor handed me a note suggesting that I do my own research and that she couldn’t help me. When I first met with Dr. Terlinsky, he asked me many specific questions about my medical history and was sincerely interested in getting to the root of the problem. He spent a concentrated amount of time with me, truly listened and offered an educated explanation as to why I was so out of sorts. He ordered tests that confirmed his initial thoughts. For treatment, I have been using bio-identical hormones for the past couple months. My mood has elevated, I am able to function optimally with energy, and the depression has dissipated. I feel Dr. Terlinsky in his own way is a miracle worker. Most importantly, he truly cares about my physical health and does everything he can to help me. In addition, Dr. Terlinsky is monitoring my progress. Unfortunately, he is an anomaly in the medical field. To me he is a blessing.
– S.L.
By the time I had my appointment with Dr. Terlinsky at Nuliving Optimal Wellness and Longevity Center in Arlington Virginia , I was a train wreck. My periods were irregular and I was experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding. My weight had increased by 15 pounds, my breasts seem to hurt continuously , my sleep was completely interrupted, my skin was dry and itchy and I had absolutely no energy. My health had been excellent and I have followed what I thought was an extremely healthy diet and lifestyle. I can’t remember the last prescription medication I had to take. My doctors had recommended creams for my skin and antidepressants. They reassured me that all my blood tests were completely normal. The only thing my gynecologist recommended was birth control pills or a D&C.
I spent nearly 3 hours with Dr. Terlinsky and subsequently went over my physical and blood urine and saliva tests with him. I was amazed at the findings. My thyroid was underactive, my vitamin D and iron level were extremely low and all of my reproductive hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone were low. Dr. Terlinsky told me that my tender breasts were related to relative estrogen dominance and inadequate progesterone production. I also decided to have Dr. Terlinsky perform a special comprehensive nutritional assessment which revealed multiple vitamin deficiencies, low antioxidant levels and low omega 3 levels. I was given customized bio- identical hormones including estrogen progesterone and testosterone and thyroid hormone which Dr. Terlinsky showed me how to adjust. I was also given several important supplements.
Within a few weeks, I felt much better. My breasts were no longer tender, I had increased energy and motivation and my libido had begun to improve. It is impossible for me to describe the value that Dr. Terlinsky’s expert medical analysis and treatment has provided for me. I’ve never had as thorough a medical evaluation as I did when I saw Dr. Terlinsky. I would advise any woman or man with symptoms of hormonal deficiency or imbalance to see Dr. Terlinsky at Nuliving Optimal Wellness and Longevity Center in Arlington Virginia.

I am a 48-year-old property manager responsible for 6 rental units. For over 22 years, my work consisted of numerous challenging tasks requiring calm and careful action. If I was not dealing with angry renters I was usually busy with contractors who required a lot of attention. I did all this often working 10 or more hours a day and came home with energy to be with my husband and take care of my family. However over the past 3 years I experienced increasing difficulty concentrating at work, a sense of “fogginess” in my head, declining energy reserves. I have never experienced moodiness, anxiety or depression but all of a sudden they were with me all day long. I have a wonderful husband and great kids but I found myself increasingly snapping at them.
My libido had taken a prolonged vacation. My periods have become somewhat irregular and I was having more nights of restless sleep. My gynecologist told me that it was not my hormones but likely stress and depression. My internist suggested I try an antidepressant which had no effect other than completely wiping out my sex life. After reading Suzanne Somers’ book, I was convinced I was in early pre-menopause and needed to find a skilled physician to help me rebalance my hormones. I saw Dr. Terlinsky for almost 3 hours during which time he examined me and took an unbelievably detailed history. Dr. Terlinsky explained that I was having symptoms of hormonal imbalance and he recommended several blood and urine tests.
When the results came back I was found to have slightly low estrogen levels but very low progesterone levels. My adrenal glands were also starting to fatigue. I was given biomechanical estrogen and progesterone and the nutrient support program for my adrenal glands. Within 6 weeks, my mood was back to normal, I had excellent energy levels in daily life was no longer filled with impossible struggles. My relationship with my husband was back to normal. During my visit with Dr. Terlinsky, I was given a hormonally balanced nutritional plan which produced 12 pounds of needed body fat loss. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Terlinsky as he has given me my life back once again.

I first met Dr. Fleisher about 10 years ago at the prompting of a friend. I had been going to my family doctor for two years for extreme weakness and aching. I could no longer climb a set of stairs or walk to my mailbox. Maintaining my house was almost impossible. My blood lipids were elevated and my blood pressure was high. After my first appointment with Dr. Fleisher, I took a homeopathic remedy and a regimen of nutritional supplements. Three weeks later, I had an appointment with my family physician and he was amazed at the difference in my blood work, blood pressure and renewed energy.
I continued to improve weekly and ultimately fully recovered. I have continued to be treated by Dr. Fleisher to this very day for new complaints. I have found him to be a compassionate physician regarding his patients. There is a level of caring that I have found in no other doctor. I have been listened to and believed. This has not been my experience with other doctors. Dr. Fleisher is a brilliant man with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge to help his patients. He is a great teacher of how to care for yourself and those around you. He has treated me and my family for so many ailments, I could probably list them from A to Z, but these come to mind quickly: Fibromyalgia; depression; chronic tendonitis; a three month old baby with colic; strep throat; plantar warts; hypothyroidism; diabetes; my son’s knees surgery (he took only the protocol recommended by Dr. Fleisher and did not need the prescriptions from his surgeon. My son amazed the surgeon with his rapid healing); migraine headaches; low iodine levels; bladder problems; child birth (Dr. Fleisher was called during my daughter’s difficult labor and he prescribed a homeopathic remedy and the child was born strong and healthy and Mom healed quickly); broken foot with torn ligament and tendons (the bones were set by my family doctor but the tendons and ligaments were never dealt with.
Once again Dr. Fleisher gave me a protocol that healed my foot completely); acid reflux disease (gone); female problems; menopause; helped with our aged dog and on and on. He always diagnoses me in the office and sends me home with a regimen to follow. The lab work would always confirm what he had diagnosed. I have found that if Dr. Fleisher prescribed it, I know it will work. My family and I have a deep appreciation for Dr. Fleisher and I will consult with him at the office, on the phone and on the internet for my health always.

For over 10 years, Dr. Mitch Fleisher has been my ‘fount of knowledge’ for all things natural and nutritional in medicine and he continues to be the mainstay of nutriceutical supplement information and direction for my patients and my family. He has made nutritional support his life’s passion and is my personal resource for these matters. I have relied upon his nutritional support protocols for years now whenever I have need for the absolute latest, most accurate, solidly scientific, clinical information about the therapeutic use of nutritional products for anything from fibromyalgia to tendonitis, fatigue to eczema, etc. Dr. Fleisher has significantly raised my level of clinical expertise in nutritional healing and has vastly improved the quality, depth and breadth of the care that I can render to my patients. One of the most difficult problems is determining the correct amount of the many nutrients that patients need to maximize their health and function on a daily basis. I have such trust in Dr. Fleisher’s expertise and integrity, that the Alternative DrMCare Natural Medical Self – Care Protocols is the first line of nutritional support for my patients, my family and myself.
– Mayo Friedlis, M.D.
Dr. Fleisher’s vast experience in natural medicine has greatly helped my patients and my family. I have consulted with him for years for different pathologies such as fibromyagia, hypertension, Parkinsonism, diabetes, arthritis, colitis… to mention a few. He has been very helpful in providing very effective, natural, nutriceutical support protocols for each of those pathologies. My patients have been pleased and healthier in the process.
– Josee Bourbeau, M.D.
Dr. Mitch Fleisher and I have been professional associates and friends for over twenty years. He was one of my clinical instructors in my postgraduate classes in homeopathic medicine and he has continued to assist me with difficult cases and expand my knowledge of complementary alternative medicine. The field of medicine is changing rapidly in many areas. This is particularly true for complementary medicine and the field of nutriceutical supplementation. It seems as if every year, there are at least two, three or more new products arriving that tout all kinds of benefits. I have had a hard time, as a family physician, keeping up with the entire field, and yet, I know the importance of nutrition and certain supplements for my patients’ health care. Dr. Mitch Fleisher has become my ‘main resource’ for this information. Dr. Fleisher is an accomplished, complementary alternative medicine researcher and lecturer, and is one of the only physicians I know who still remembers and uses biochemistry in his nutritional medicine practice. Dr. Mitch is one bright guy! He has been at the forefront of nutritional medicine. We have shared many patients over the years that I have seen benefited greatly from Dr. Fleisher’s work. I appreciate his determination to get to the truth about these products and their potential benefits. He has been prudent in his research and, therefore, very helpful to me and my patients.
The internet service he has established promises to be of major help for many patients and practitioners alike. I trust his judgment on supplements and certainly believe Alternative DrMCare Natural Medical Self-Care Protocols is everything it promises to be. I look forward to using it myself.

My initial appointment with Dr. Krup was worth every dollar I spent. I have never had a doctor sit down with me one on one and explain my overall health. An uninterrupted hour with a doctor is amazing.

I have my wife to thank for getting me started on a hormone replacement program. For the last few years, I felt depressed and could hardly make it through my daily activities. She made my appointment with Dr. Krup and within a few weeks of starting my hormone replacement program, I feel alive again.
– Joe B
I thought bio identical hormone replacement was expensive. I gave up lattes and got my life back.
– Renee C
When I started a bio identical hormone program I wasn’t sure what my expectations really were. When I asked Dr. Krup how long I would be on hormones, she said, “I plan to take them for the rest of my life”. I thought she was kidding. It has now been five years and I can’t imagine my life without bio identical hormone replacement.
– Debbie S

– Beth D
Having suffered from headaches most of my adult life, I finally decided to try hormone replacement. Dr. Krup carefully explained my hormone levels and how they most likely were to blame. This just seemed too simple. Within the first three weeks my headaches were gone. I wasn’t really a believer when I made my first appointment, but two years without headaches has completely changed my life.
– Lynne A
Bio identical hormone replacement has changed the quality of my life. Finding the right doctor, the right program and the right compounding pharmacy are just part of the RejuvinAge Program. Dr. Krup is so passionate about her commitment to her patients and finding exactly what is right for us, is her specialty. Thank you Dr. Krup, I wish I
had found you sooner.

Low T, hormone replacement for men? I thought my friends were kidding! They were all feeling great, looking good, working out hard and had the strength and energy I used to have. I decided to embrace this aging thing and made a hormone replacement appointment. Testosterone, Thyroid and DHEA have seriously made a difference.

Dr. Robertson has a wealth of knowledge in naturopathic medicine and her experience with herbs and supplements has helped me compete at some of the highest levels for my sport. I am considered an expert in my field and I owe part of my success to the additional support, advice, and supplements Dr. Robertson provided.
– Allison King
I’ve greatly appreciated Dr. Robertson’s helpful recommendations on what to take while in the throes of a bad cold, sore throat, and violent coughing spells. I’ve also benefited greatly from having my bloodwork optimized with anti- aging/regenerative/functional herbal supplements, balancing out my hormones, allowing me to sleep again (which is HUGE!), along with dietary revisions and daily exercise. Nothing beats a great night of sleep!

I started my journey to better health in January of 2015. Since then I’ve lost 60 pounds and feel great. As well, I’ve started working with their functional medicine doctor, Dr. Mack. She us compassionate, kind and oh so knowledgeable. Every step if the way I’ve been monitored physically and nutritionally. I hope to become an employee at some point in time! I cannot express it enough that if you are looking for a journey to better health this is definitely the place you should start!
