Be very careful with this. Complete Quack! $495 for him to read you labs, which is a long sales pitch. Insurance did not cover the labs which for me cost $1,882.20. My wife and I both did the tests so this cost us just under $5,000. In other words. "screwed us out of $5000." Following the appointment they "select" a long list of supplements to be sent on auto ship. PLUS, he wanted to insert testosterone pellets into my body with a "Minor" procedure. I followed up with a visit to my family doctor and had my Testestorone tested again. According to a real doctor my T was fine and I didn't need any of the supplements suggested except Vitamin D (which I bought at Costco). My wife was told her Thyroid was shut down and was "prescribed" a kit of supplements costing about $750/month. After seeing a real doctor it was proven that her thyroid was just fine. Don't do it! I just saved you thousands! read more

Big Sca, stay away. Dr. Sahar Lashin and body logic should be investigated for fraud. This's a cycle of a big financial comment without result. They deserve negative 100 stars review. I'm post menopausal, was seeking help for severe fatigue, body, skin and hair change. I went to see Dr. Sahar Lashin at Body logic for BIHRT. Over a year of treatment , thousands of dollars spent I had no improvement in lab test results or symptoms. During my las visit I discussed my disappointment with Dr. Lashin and she was so rude and told me that maybe I don' t have enough money to be there. They take your insurance card information telling you they will bill your insurance knowing in advance insurance won't cover it. They charge you a co-payment and few weeks later they bill you an additional $420 for a urine test!!! I consulted an endocrinologist to review my treatments, lab results and was told that this's a hoax. Dr. Lashin and Body logic should be ashamed of themselves . They are supposed to help women and instead they take advantage of women, lie to them and give them false hopes at a great financial loss. This's an affront to people seeking help.

Best MD out there Dr Center is an amazing Endocrinologist that focuses on hormone replacement but his knowledge and care far exceeds that. He is focused and determined to find the right care for each patient and i am happy to refer to him. He saved my life! read more

I'm going to be very frank here because so few men report their experiences with Male Hormone Therapy. I saw Dr. Center about 10 years ago. At that time I was in my late 40s and concerned about low testosterone and low libido. I was on the fence for some years about doing something about this problem and decided to go for it. My main concern was cost -- male hormone therapy isn't cheap, and from what I'd heard people get mixed results. Dr. Center did my tests and confirmed I had low testosterone and prescribed treatment, which was my choice of either injections or insertion of time release pellets into my buttocks. I decided to go with the pellets over the injections as this would save me having to make multiple returns to his office. The treatment of pellet insertion might sound strange, but I can report that it was relatively painless. These pellets are about the size of grains of rice and the incision is extremely small. I was then told it would take some time for me for feel any effects. And so, a month went by and I felt absolutely no different, and I was thinking there went a few thousands dollars down the drain but at least I can say I tried to better my health. However, after that month, things did begin to change for me, in a big way. Almost overnight I was immediately 30% stronger in the gym, and my body composition changed to where my neighbor remarked "what has happened to you"? In other words, I looked significantly stronger and healthier. My problems with low libido vanished. Basically, I felt 20 years younger in every way. The only side effect was that my nipples were slightly sore for some time. Over the years I've tried a lot of diets, a lot of supplements and what have you from the shelves of Whole Foods. Nothing has come close to the positive effect that I experienced with Male Hormone Therapy. These effects lasted strongly for about 6 months, which is what Dr. Center said would happen. They lasted for another 6 months in a somewhat diminished way, and again, I haven't had any negative health effects from this treatment. I haven't had a return visit to Dr. Center only because of financial reasons. read more

First, let me just start by saying that getting old sucks. There's nothing fun about it and, if I could, I'd dial back to 35 in a heartbeat. Of course you can't but, if you don't want to just passively become your grandparents, there are things you can do to make the journey more palatable. Some things - like eating better and exercise - you can do on your own. Others - like hormone replacement and anti-aging medicine - require the help of competent medical professionals. After trying other physicians and programs, about 10 years ago I became a client of BodyLogicMD and Dr. Center. On the therapeutic side, I'm very pleased with their core hormone replacement therapy. While it took several iterations to get the dosage and timing properly tuned (they are, after all, messing with your body's natural chemistry), the results come close to dialing you back to the vitality you had 20 years earlier in nearly every way; physically, mentally, sexually. The initial testing was significant (blood, urine, saliva tests at varying intervals) but has diminished to the current once a year (the standard of care, I am told) except when something arises that requires special attention. In fact, after I get the results from Dr. Center I provide a copy of the test results to my primary care physician and they have now become a standard part of my annual checkups (since these tests are paid for by my group medical plan, this ends up saving time, money, and duplication). To be honest, I haven't been as excited about some of the ancillary programs (special diets, supplements, etc.) - although I have tried quite a few. Some work well, so I have continued them. Others not so well, so I stopped. I guess I've never been afraid to speak plainly to physicians (it's called the "Gift of Feedback") and Dr. Center seems very open to conforming a patient's individual treatment plan to each patient's needs and wishes. On the clinical side, I've found Dr. Center's staff to be easy to work with - provided that you make an attempt to be cooperative, understanding of their limitations, and reasonably proactive (they hate making last-minute schedule changes if they don't have the actual medications in-hand). Carol is very patient, cooperative, and efficient. Carmen is always friendly and easy to work with. Perhaps it's just me, but Dr. Center always seems to be in a good mood; chatty and upbeat. Although in his conferences he seems to love to break out his descriptive diagrams and give you a bit more information about the interactions of your body's chemistry than most people probably want or need to know. I did have one incident several years ago that arose from some confusion coordinating between the BodyLogicMD staff in Florida and Dr. Center's office in San Diego. An over-zealous technician in their Florida office took it upon herself to cancel an appointment at the last minute because they didn't have my lab results. I contacted Dr. Center's office (upset, of course) and, as it turned out, they had received the results and we simply went ahead as scheduled (thanks Carol). It's been my experience that there is much more "art" involved in anti-aging medicine than with traditional acute care and, consequently, physicians in this area take a somewhat different approach. That seems to be the case with Dr. Center; he's more interactive, more flexible, more experimental. Some patients probably have an easier time with this than do others. But when it works - as it has for me - the results can be amazing. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Lashin at BodyLogic MD! After suffering for years with symptoms of peri-menopause (weight gain, sleep difficulties, anxiety, digestive issues, etc), and being blown off by my primary care doctor as all of it being "just a normal part of aging", I decided to try BodyLogic MD. After receiving testosterone pellets and several other therapies, not only have most of my symptoms disappeared, but I've also started losing the weight that I've been trying to take off for years! I feel fantastic, have so much energy and just really feel like a new person. It's refreshing to know that you don't HAVE to feel this way and can age on your own terms. Highly recommend!!! read more

I started seeing Dr. Center about 6 months ago and was a little bit skeptical before going in. I was tired all the time, my libido was in the ditch and it seemed to be all I could do just to get thru a day at work. I looked forward to weekends but only because I knew I would have the chance to rest. I do have to say the good doctor is very thorough. Treatment for me consisted of detailed blood analysis from which Dr. Center gleans an incredible amount of information. He reviews all the details with you point-by-point and takes action to correct decencies. He is thoughtful in his analysis in determining causative factors and making decisions to make corrections. He shares his analysis with you personally and then in written form and shares his recommendations in a follow-up email. Prescribed medications and/or dietary supplementation is available via "Bodylogic". They are reasonable in price and shipped to your door each month as recommended (but only with your approval). I also like that you can see the changes reflected in your bloodwork with the detailed analysis via blood draw every few months. This is true "black and white" corroboration that what you and the doctor are doing is confirmation you are truly making a change internally. Even though you can feel it, it is good to be able to see the changes with the detailed analysis and compare to the previous reports. Also, the good doctor is available to you DIRECTLY via email. While the office staff are helpful, flexible and efficient it is nice to be able to shoot an email to Dr. Center about any concerns or questions and have him respond personally. I have been a patient now for 6 months and I like the changes I have experienced. I have my energy level back and actually go out and do things on weekends now rather than lay on the couch trying to recover from the previous week . My libido is back, not like I was at 19 but my spouse and I are having a sex life again which had gone by the wayside for much too long. As a side note, I have lost 12 pounds and continue on that track. It works well for me and I would recommend Dr. Center, and have, to my closest friends and family. read more

Dr. Center is awesome! He really does his homework on your particular issue(s) and tries very hard to figure things out and the best way to help a client. Under his care I have lost 20 lbs so far and feel great on the therapies he has prescribed. read more

We feel so blessed to have Dr. Center in our lives. Many years of issues that present themselves as our bodies aren't perfect. But Dr. Center always has a way of coming up with a solution. A solution I've experienced that in our case was solved quickly. We are extremely grateful to come across such an individual, a true hidden gem!!!! Thank You, morrell family read more

Dr Center has been treating me for over ten years. My overall health has improved dramatically. His testosterone pellet technique is masterful and his office is professionally run. Dr Center has taught me healthy ways to improve my nutrition with supplements in addition to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. At 68 years old I feel better than I did in my 40's! Bravo!" read more

I understand how some people might get frustrated with the process; testing in general is expensive and insurance hates to pay for these treatments (which is a problem with insurance, not Dr. Center). I do know that Bodylogic tries very hard to get insurance to pay for as much as possible and they do their best to make a time consuming testing process as organized and efficient as possible. That said getting the testing done does take a significant time and financial investment. I've been very happy with my results and appreciate Dr. Centers efforts and good humor. When I began treatment with Bodylogic I was in really bad shape. Today all aspects are health have improved and I'm very grateful and proud to be a patient of Dr. Center. read more

I am a woman of 49 who researched then went in to see Dr. Center. I had a thyroidectomy due to hypothyroidism gone WAY wrong (please ask your doctor to get you into OPTIMAL thyroid range, not simply "normal". "Normal" almost killed me.) After the thyroidectomy my body had no way to manage itself hormonally and my body, weight, emotions, mentality were all over the map. My adrenals had virtually declined to function. I was catapulted into early menopause. Dr. Center got me CENTERED! Dr. Center was previously an Endocrinologist who wanted to focus specifically on hormones and longevity. He is up-to-date on the latest and greatest in technology for subbing all of your hormonal needs and longevity health questions. His wife Carol runs the front desk and is charming and fun. She is extremely helpful and very thorough. Carmen is Dr. Center's right hand and has always been very accessible to me whenever I've had questions via telephone or email. I recommend BodyLogic MD everywhere I go to everyone who asks and if you're prepared to do the work you will get the changes you desire. read more

Dr. Center is Amazing! I didn't know getting older could feel so great! Not only does he take the time to really explain your personal healthcare, but also does it with such love and compassion. The whole office is wonderful and really wants to help which is so uncommon in this busy world we live it. I would refer everyone i know to his practice. read more

Dr. Center was my GP until he went into this practice. When I had hormone problems I went to him at BodyLogicMD. In both practices, he has been caring and informative. He tries to keep the cost down. The qualities I like best about Dr. Center are: He tells you the truth, if he doesn't know, he says so and researches it. He makes an effort to continually update his skills. I trust him. (And he's never been wrong...) read more

Just had my appointment with Doctor Center a few hours ago. I have been a patient of his for the past 4 years. During that time I have been able to make appointments easily. I never had a problem contacting the Dr. or anyone on his staff, all of whom are very pleasant and cheerful. The testing and the procedures that I have to undergo are done regularly, approximately 3 times a year. I have never had a bad experience with any aspect of this practice. I strongly endorse Doctor Stephen A. Center. read more

Dr. Center's practice in Integrative Medicine is excellent. His expertise and ability to teach and explain all reasoning behind a diagnostic effort or treatment are outstanding. I've been cared for in the past by Dr. Andrew Weil of University of Arizona's Center for Integrative Medicine. He is commonly seen on PBS. As unique and rewarding as that was, I feel very much more strongly about the opportinity to now be a patient with Dr. Center. His explanations of both diagnoses and possible treatments are very pleasant and very understandable. It is a very significant event in my health history, which also includes being an ongoung cancer patient at Mayo Clinic. I would consider it an essential part of my healthcare to continue as Dr. Center's patient. read more

I really hope people read the reviews before going to this place. $450 for the "Dr" to read your test results. They don't tell you how much they are going to charge you until after you talk to the dr. What was even more sketchy was how interested he was in where I lived and what I did for work. This place does nothing to help You, just wants all you money! Please don't waste your money on these people read more

I am happy to say that being a patient of Dr.Center for 2 years now has really changed my life for the better . Testosterone replacement therapy made my heart feel stronger and I'm am currently willing. And able to just do more than I have in years. With step by step instructions and explanations that he makes easy for me to understand. Primarily this is an all cash.it has worked out that my flex. Plan at work does cover this and works out. To be approximately 1500 every 4 months.so don't be sticker shocked read more

I have been seeing Dr. Center since 2008 about 2-3 times a year for testosterone replacement therapy. The treatments have been effective in several respects, including building muscle mass and increased sexual functioning and satisfaction. Part of the treatment involves a thorough evaluation, followed by a consultation with the doctor. Dr. Center always takes as much time as is needed, and explains everything clearly and logically. For many of these evaluations, Dr. Center's evaluation and lab testing have picked up issues that were missed or glossed over by my primary care physician, and more than once I had to go to the primary care physician with Dr. Center's results to get the general medical care I need. I am a private patient, and pay for all of this out of pocket, and it has been well worth it for me. Every time I see Dr. Center, he makes me feel hopefully, as though I am getting a fresh start and can begin fresh in dealing with my health issues. He always answers my emails promptly and thoughtfully. I have recommended him to members of my family and to friends, and will continue to do so. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Center and Staff since 2010. I started seeing him as I was not getting the best treatment from my first doctor that I saw for hormone therapy. Dr. Center helps you with health in general aside from the hormones, as it all works together. I always value his suggestions, and if something is too expensive, I let him know. This type of therapy is expensive, and is an investment in yourself. I moved out of state and still see Dr. Center via phone calls for my appointments. Everything is shipped out of state, and Carmen and Carol make things easy for me. I also appreciate that I can call or e-mail if I have questions. This was not the case with my other doctor's office. I researched out doctors before I chose Dr. Center and appreciate his qualifications and expertise. There are a number of people practicing this type of hormone replacement who are not doctors, and who are charging outrageous amounts of money. This type of treatment is costly, and I look at how I feel now vs. when I first came to see him 5 years ago. My experience with Body Logic has been a good one, and I look forward to continuing with Dr. Center. My health gets better and better with the treatments he has prescribed. Keep notes on your progress and be aware so that you can maximize your time with Dr. Center. read more

Dr Center is very good at what he does. He doesn't diagnose without testing and the testing is generally not covered under medicare or insurance. Hence, some complaints. But you know that going in.The testing determines hormone levels as well as blood anomalies from a battery of tests. Establishing a baseline is important. Recommendations are made from the baseline for issues outside the norms. In my case the tests showed low levels of certain hormones. He offers many choices for prescriptions, from traditional medicine to natural remedies. It is the patient's choice - and no particular remedy is pushed. It is expensive. But what is your health worth? If you want traditional "family practice" medicine - this is not the place. BodyLogic tests generally for quality-of-life issues, aging, and nutrition. He recommends remedies so you can address them in ways that suit you. As a result I've gotten most of the results I sought. Results I did not achieve were by my own choice - I chose what I ate, though he may have recommended against it. I get it. Lifestyle choices make a difference. Here is a doctor with the experience and knowledge to help. Someone complained that he charges for reading test results - Duh! Thats what professionals due. If you you want pedestrian service, go for Obamacare. I found no negative issues except I wish it were covered by medicare or insurance. But again, it is "wellness" care, not cures for sickness or injury. I liken it to Cynagenics - which does the same thing for a whole lot more - a WHOLE lot more... read more

I have been a patient of Dr Center for the past 4 years. I am currently over 50 years old and started to see Dr Center as a result of a lack of energy and poor sense of general well-being. Leading up to this, I had done some research on the emerging field of anti-aging medicine and its emphasis on nutrition, fitness, and hormones. Through the hormone treatments and nutritional advice that Dr Center has prescribed, my energy has tremendously increased and my general sense of well-being has improved. Patients need to understand that the treatments provided by Dr Center are typically not covered by insurance. I know that he strives to keep costs down but there is still an out-of-pocket cost that needs to be considered. For me, these costs have been worth the overall benefits to my health. Dr Center and his staff are always helpful and caring. Dr Center has always taken a personal interest in my health and always takes the time to explain medical conditions and treatments. I highly recommend Dr Center if you are not satisfied or feel that traditional medicine is not addressing or helping with your health issues. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Center since 2009. I can't find words to describe how much Dr. Center has helped me in terms of my nutrition and hormonal balance. He is one the most knowledgeable physicians that I have ever met and believe me I don't say that lightly because I have traveled around the world seeking out the best physicians in certain specialties. He carefully reviews my labs and makes recommendations based on evidence. He is careful and meticulous. He is one of the best doctors that I have had the privilege of knowing in my 60 year life span. Kudos to Dr. Center. H. S. read more

Dr. Center has been treating me since July 2012, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with him. Dr. Center is very knowledgeable about integrative medicine and is also a caring and supportive person. I went to Dr. Center to address my osteoporosis, low energy and some bad moods. After some tests, it was apparent my issues were mostly caused by low testosterone, which was low due to too much cortisol and natural aging. Using testosterone pellet treatments, Dr. Center has made me feel much better. Also, he helped me clear up some psoriasis through diet and supplements. Many traditional doctors only treat symptoms. If you are in pain, they prescribe a pain pill. If you cannot sleep, they prescribe a sleeping pill. This would be the same as taking your car to the mechanic for a "check engine" light, and the mechanic cuts the wire to the light! Dr. Center's approach goes beyond the symptoms and looks for the underlying cause, and then if possible, he suggests natural ways to treat the issue (such as hormones and supplements). My insurance does not cover all of the treatments. The problem is with our healthcare insurance system, not with Body Logic. The Body Logic integrative medicine approach is what I think all doctors should be doing. In addition, I think a lot of people are not used to having detailed conversations with their doctors about treatment. Dr. Center is very knowledgeable about natural treatments, so he will offer lots of options to consider. Some people seem to be intimidated by this. Personally, I want my doctor to tell me all the potential options for treatment, then I will decide which way I want to go. In all, I have had good experiences with Dr. Center and his office staff, I feel great now, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to find and treat the root causes of their issues. read more

Great doctor with an attractive, friendly office. I go to Dr. Center for menopause. He listens carefully to my concerns and adjusts my treatment to what I'm going through at the moment. I am in a good place in my life, and I am thankful for his care. At my age, many women feel apprehensive. I have a lot of energy, I'm happy and I feel fit. I totally recommend Dr. Center! read more

If I could give less than 1-Star, I would. This office is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY and that would have been OK, if they were good, but they're NOT. My experience started out negative and got worse. The 1st minute I walked in, Dr. Center was yelling at his staff about the air conditioning not working in his office. He saw me, but didn't stop yelling at them! I was uncomfortable, but stayed. After spending a lot of money (over $1,500) Dr. Center placed me on supplements and a detox program that made me so sick and so seriously dizzy (never felt dizzy in my life) that I stopped all supplements and should have quit him then, but didn't because I wanted HRT. So, after many tests (blood & saliva) he placed me on two gel/creams. His money craving office wanted me to spend hundreds more - on more tests - and when I wanted to delay the tests for MORE TIME on the HRT, they cancelled me as one of his patients. What kind of doctor starts his patient on hormone replacement treatment, then cancels the patient because I wanted to delay the tests? A bad one! I was only on HRT for 2 months and felt no different - so I wanted 2 more months before I spent hundreds more. Well, now I have a great HRT Doctor - who ran similar tests for FAR LESS money - and told me I've been on inadequate hormones! My prescription has now changed and I'm finally happy. Just thought you all should know. read more

I just read all the above yelps & I am currently experiencing the same things. 1) Un-professional 2) always another test ( $$) 3) always trying to sell me another vitamin to add to the 5 I'm already taking as I told him I hate taking pills! 4) try to sell me the detox cleanse on the last 2-visits. 5) wife tells you your insurance will cover test & 6 mths later you find out not covered.( yet another charge) 6) tells his wife / receptionist to charge me more because we went over the 15min & she says well does the patient know this? as I'm standing right there. I wanted to say , we went over because he was on the ph with you: wife & showing me excersise that he does . I regret not saying something right then & there! 7) Also was trying to sell me on their in house diet/nutritionist, but I said I have that under control on my own. ( first visit) All in all I didn't have a good feeling from day -1 and should of canceled right away but again I didn't want to loose my $175!! Now that I read yelp reviews I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!!! read more

I found that my experience was not good....very very pushy and aggressive to spend your money on all their vitamins and blah blah. I ended up never going back and was taken for about 2500.00 with really no results....tried complaining to Suzanne sommers but that was useless as they do NOT respond to messages emails etc...just my opinion read more

Dr. Center and his staff are attentive and efficient. Dr. Center takes the time to address my concerns and explains things as needed. He is always up to date on the latest medical innovations in his field. Great physician. Highly recommend. read more

I am by nature a very skeptical person, and it took me a while to decide to make an appt., but because I really wanted to refocus my energies on getting healthy as I was getting older.... Well, I was so glad I called Dr. Center's office. I felt completely confident after talking on the phone with the front office and was able to schedule my work up pretty easily. Walking into the office, everyone was so friendly and helpful, making me feel very comfortable. I totally understood the scheduled testing and treatment regiment I needed to keep and was ready to make the commitment and take responsibility to do it! I am so happy I did because I feel and look fantastic. My energy is back and I feel so healthy! Thank you, Dr. Center and staff! read more

I came to Dr. Center in June of this year. I found Dr. Center and his staff to be very caring about me and my health. Dr. Center has helped me with hormone therapy, weight loss, back pain and my overall health. I am feeling great and doing well with proper excersise, eating habits, vitamins and hormone therapy. I recommend Dr. Center and his team to find your way to a good and healthy lifestyle! It is worth every $ and I look forward to continuing this journey for a better quality of life!!! read more

Dr. Center is great! I've been seeing him for over 7 years, and he is very knowledgeable and keeps up to date in his expertise. He has helped me to feel my best! read more

I wanted to write a review because like others I was shocked at Dr. Center's wife, Carols, comments to me after I lost my baby sister and she stated that I was using that as an excuse to not stay in contact and schedule my blood work up. Her comment is unconscionable!!! Who would said something so awful to a patient or a person who is grieving. She really needs to check her people skills and this is a place I will never go back. She was rude and she began yelling at me on the phone that I was using my sister's death as an excuse-- can you imagine someone repeating that over and over again. I emailed her with a copy of my sister's homegoing program so that she could put a face to someone she just stated she did not care about and made those awful comments to me-- How sad for her and her husband's business that she is ruining; maybe she needs to do the hormone treatments because she is a sickening individual to deal with. So like others commented, please do not go to Dr. Center's office for treatment. Dr. Center is not so extraordinary -- his charges are up there and I would not mind that; however, he sent me a report with another person's name in it their treatment plan. I paid $425.00 for my report and to see another patient's information in my report, led me to believe that he does not pay attention to details AND PROBABLY HAS TEMPLATE REPORTS THAT HE USES AND CHARGES $425 WHICH PROBABLY TAKES HIM LESS TIME TO PLUG IN INFORMATION-- how does that happen!!! -- I would not take my dog to this place. I am sad that I spent well over $2,500 not including the detox program and then some special diet that he pushed that costs me in addition $600 that did not work I lost nothing, His wife, Carol, needs to be at home and never placed in the office. She is a disgrace to his practice. I shared this with other doctors and they were shocked and appalled like myself of this doctor's unprofessionalism -- especially since there are not many doctors who specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Treatment. Dont let the photos fool you with their fake smiles -- they are deceiving and their professionalism needs to be called on the carpet. I, however, am going to report them to the Medical Profession and make sure that the consumer is aware of how this doctor and his wife treat people. They do not event get a star. I only had to select one otherwise it would be ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFTER ALL THIS MS RUDE CAROL INFORMED ME THAT SHE CANCELLED ME AND WANTED ME TO BEGIN ALL OVER INCURRING THE SAME COSTS I INITIALLY HAD INSTEAD OF PICKING UP WHERE I LEFT OFF WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR CANCELS YOU AS A PATIENT WHEN YOU ARE ON HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY -- A BAD ONE !!!! read more
