I can't believe how much Kristine has helped me with my heath issues. I have been struggling with…read moreallergies, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue for years. I have seen every doctor and holistic healthcare practitioner under the sun--or so it seems. I have spent thousands on supplements and various therapies. But nothing really ever seemed to help. Then one day I heard Kristine on a local radio show and she said that what she does is help people figure out what their bodies need right now. For instance, acupuncture might help one person tremendously but might not be very helpful for me (right now) and my issue. Kristine went through all my supplements and narrowed down my daily regimen to the "greatest hits" for my body right now. What really was the most helpful, was how Kristine was able to determine that my mercury amalgam fillings was bringing my body down despite all the supplements, exercise and healthy food I was consuming/doing, etc. This was a big breakthrough. I am now painstakingly getting these fillings removed even thought it is time consuming and costly. But I think that I am on the right course of action. And now I won't be wasting my money on supplements and various therapies that were really not solving the problem. I could never have figured this out without Kristine's help. After each session, I always feel better and more energized. And it really helps that she is kind, thoughtful, really smart and light hearted. We always share some laughs during each session. She has several modalities but she always chooses the one that is right for my body at the given moment and the given challenge. I recommend her to all my friends, family and acquaintances when they are trying to figure out some better answers to their health issues. If you have been struggling with a health issue and don't seem to be getting the right answers and or help from your doctors or other health care practitioners, then you would really benefit from a session(s) with Kristine. I highly recommend it!

Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

Anyway, I went to Dr Bhutti for a chronic sinus infection and after two weeks of fever and respiratory problems that did not want to go away. She was strongly recommended to me by three friends, after I had started panicking since I was getting worst and worst. In 48 hrs I was back on my feet, fever finally gone, and after few days my nose was totally clean. I do not know the connection but in few days also my skin looked much better: tight and bright and I eat much less than before since I have no more craving. I am steadily losing weigh; although I did not mention my craving/weight problem to Dr. Bhutti at all. I think there is a re-balance in my total health. So, yes I strongly suggest Dr. Bhutti to anyone wants to improve its health. She has been studying, teaching and practicing Tibetan Medicine since 1960 and she worked for the Dalai Lama for many years. Finally, her prices are more than honest and fair. Ciao.

What I got was so much more, and I couldn't be happier about it. My visit began with a thorough evaluation, including a tongue reading, which was fascinating and gave me a real sense that the practitioner was looking at the whole picture rather than just one issue. From there, I received acupuncture, cupping, and a herbal needle treatment, all in a single visit. Every step was explained clearly, so I always knew what was happening and why. Before I left, the team put together a long-term treatment plan tailored to my evaluation. It felt personal and well thought out, not like a one-size-fits-all package. I left with a clear roadmap and a lot of confidence in the process. The space itself is spotless and calming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They put you at ease right away, which matters a lot when you're trying something new. Whether you're a longtime believer in TCM or a complete beginner like I was, I would recommend Eastway Wellness to anyone. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Other doctors certify patients for a full year at the time of the first visit, which is what the law allows. I saw Dr. Uma and she gave me a complete physical, which was fine, but I didn't need one. She talked to me all through it telling me all about how Medical Marijuana works (I already knew quite a bit of this.) What can I say, she was charming. Then she gave me my certification, ( not a hard one, my illness is right in the literature.) But then my certification cancelled after a few months. I went to the pharmacy and was told it was no longer any good. I am not sure what she has to check out after 3 and again after 6 months. The disease will remain and she can't even recommend particular strains, they're not allowed to. So, if the idea of medical Marijuana makes you squeamish, and you need someone classy to make it seem all right, and you can pay extra for this service...be my guest. Otherwise, check out less high overhead operations.

He doesn't just give you a prescription to treat the symptom and send you on your way. He works to find and treat the underlying cause. He takes the time to answer all your questions and explain what is going on. Unlike a clinic or hospital office, your appointments are scheduled for the real amount of time you need It's not 15 minutes and out. Even the waiting room is comforting. It's not all screamingly bright light with stiff plastic chairs. It's like a friend's living room, with an upholstered couch and real plants, you can even make yourself a cup of tea or coffee if you like. It's a concierge service so you pay a little extra, but you get everything you've payed for and more. Incredibly calm and welcoming, Rolls Royce service.

Tried this practice/doctor for a year. As of this writing, I believe the annual individual fee is…read more$10,000. I do not recommend them and did not renew for several reasons: * Dr. Donahue is not terribly responsive. There were several occasions where he said "I'll get back to you" and then never did. * Relatedly, I would have to call and follow up every time test results came in-he/the practice never reached out to me. Even the boring ol' dermatologists and ob-gyns of the world (in non-concierge practices) let you know your test was negative/positive/whatever. For $10k a year...can't Dr. Donahue or his staff do the same? * Inability to schedule online (every time I emailed to ask about an appointment--even for telehealth--I was told to call in to speak to someone live just to schedule the appointment). Every time they wanted to see me, they would email me and say "please call in to make an appointment." Couldn't you just have...sent some appointment times in that very email? Or call ME? For this (alleged) level of service and fees, I'd like the ability every hairdresser and nail salon has had since 2010: let me schedule online! Offices can certainly review and reject appointment requests, as these other professions do. * Dr. Donahue is relatively scatter-brained, to put it politely, to the point that it will affect your care. I experienced this a few times across my year in his practice, including in minor ways (e.g., promising to get back to me after he reviewed an article I'd sent him), but the most egregious example is that we had a entire appointment (reviewing test results and recommending actions for me) that he subsequently forgot about. I checked in with him about a month after the appointment to follow-up, and he emailed me to ask me to take a variety of tests before we met...which tests I'd already taken and discussed with him the prior month. When I mentioned the date of our prior meeting and the lab results, he sent an email apologizing. Still: if I were less meticulous--or forgetful myself--I'd have undertaken a whole new round of tests (not covered by insurance, natch). At various points throughout the year, I actually wondered if he might have early-onset Alzheimer's. * Dr. Donahue runs a LOT of tests--many of which are not covered by insurance--the results of which are not terribly helpful. For example, one relatively expensive test for 'food sensitivities' revealed some for me...I asked if I should eliminate those items that showed up in red on the test, at which point he told me the test could be revealing a sensitivity OR just picking up on stuff I'd been eating a lot of lately. That....would have been helpful to know before the test, when I might have modified my diet; when I mentioned this, he said that I could always eliminate something concerning me and then retake the test in a few months. * Dr. Donahue would frequently say things--especially early on, going over my medical history, etc.--like, "now THAT'S interesting!" if I presented a medical quandary or something bizarre or troubling. This language happened a few times, when I presented new issues or we got new test results in. Conversely, I got the sense he was a bit zoned out when we talked about your regular 'run of the mill' medical issues (e.g., high cholesterol), and that overall, the only way to keep his interest would require an ongoing litany of unusual troubles...like he's "House" or something. *At our first meeting/physical exam appointment, he cheerily pointed out a few times that he could do my ob-gyn work, too! I have a great gynecologist, which I mentioned--and he re-mentioned, again, later, that he could do it, too. I thought it was odd that he mentioned it first (I hadn't brought up ob-gyn work because I already have that taken care of) and more than once. I was attracted to the practice because I felt that Dr. Donahue's experience as a doctor in a more rural community may have given him the knowledge/wisdom a kind of old-timey house call doctor would have. Instead, what I got was part absent-minded practitioner, part woo woo medicine dude. No, I don't want to order oregano oil from your Personal Health MD dispensary at Fullscript.com, where you make a commission (and where everything you prescribed costs more than from GNC, Amazon and other online stores). Jeez Louise. That kind of stuff makes you feel like you're in a multi-level marketing scam rather than a pricy concierge medicine practice. If you definitely want to be part of a concierge medical practice, you can find several others in the area for much less money and with more responsive, professional doctors. If you're still on the fence about signing up for concierge medicine at all, I'll say this: you're in the Boston area, and there are no shortage of awesome physicians to choose from who are just part of the regular ol' conglomerates we have. Whichever way you decide to go, this guy ain't it.
