The cost of "functional health" is very expensive. You will be assigned a health coach and do not…read morehave frequent visits with the actual provider you are assigned to. Although the practice is said to provide patient specific/centered care. The recommendations are generalized and lack follow up. A 6 month care plan can average depending on needs to be 8,000 out of pocket. Discount is provided if paid right away. You are not informed of the reason for the costs or explained about the availability of consultation with the provider. The health coach assigned is a messenger to the provider. Additional testing will be out of pocket such as labs. If your "goals" were not met you will have to pay an additional fee to continue or enroll in a membership. I do not recommend the practice. Please do not get in debt due to this practice that claims they provide functional health. The provider appeared to be more active on the social media account than the time that was spent with my patient care experience. Coming from an individual with health care experience I would not want anyone to fall in the trap of this functional medicine practice.

Then they said I could do the meds. they charged me close to $600. over 6 months and I never received any meds, lied to me saying I had to wait 6 months of membership before insurance would cover the meds and getting meds out of pockets wasn't an option I had. Ends up my insurance wouldn't cover it. Instead of being 40 lbs overweight I would need to 100lbs. So ww doesn't know what they are doing. Then suddenly it was ok for me to pay for the meds direct. So for one month of meds and their services it cost me 1,100.00. then they couldn't figure out how to do a refill. They only thing they are good at is fleecing your wallet. There is a reason they are going bankrupt. Stay clear of them.

Dr. Cathy Kim is beyond description! She is the very rare physician who is also an amazing person…read more She cannot be defined nor does she fit into any box. She is a courageous pioneer who does not accept the common limits of medicine that pain sufferers often encounter. She stays by your side, never judging and always trusting her patients. Dr. Kim takes the time, she never gives up, to deeply understand and problem-solve with her patients. She does NOT do a quick visit, prescribe meds and send you off. Instead, she observes how you move, what you do routinely and like a detective, starts to chip away at what the root causes are that challenge your health. You might get a "quick fix" simply because she is brilliant but generally her patients will spend time, do their homework and invest in their new improved health with her as a team partner/leader. After months of working with Dr. Cathy Kim, I can highly recommend her as a physician who is unlike any other. She has taught me how to correct the way I move, stand and sit so as not to further hurt myself. We have gradually relieved my physical pain in multiple areas. It took 70 years for my body to become what it is so the changes are gradual but completely encouraging! Dr. Kim is a treasure! Besides her extreme intellect, she is a gifted, animated communicator and teacher. She goes to great lengths to make her points even if she has to get on the floor to demonstrate, show photos on her phone or share true stories from her diverse practice. Thank you Dr. Kim for giving me hope, caring above and beyond and for being YOU! I will always appreciate the gifts you have shared that have dramatically improved my health, life and happiness.

When I came into Purety Clinic I was in very bad shape, not knowing what was wrong with me and…read morefeeling like I was literally dying. Other doctors told me I had severe psoriasis but I knew something more was amiss. Dr. Birch is the ONLY doctor who recommended I have my mycotoxin levels checked, and thank God he did. My mycotoxin levels were 6x-7x times higher than normal! Somewhere along my life I was exposed to toxic black mold which entered my body and took hold in my blood and organs. I had every symptom described from weight gain, hormone imbalance, hair loss, memory loss, and fatigue. Dr. Birch immediately got me on a protocol of supplements as well as EBOO (ozone dialysis) treatments and TPE (total plasma exchange). It was a long hard battle but those life saving modalities finally brought my mycotoxin levels down into the green. I am forever grateful to Dr. Birch and his amazing staff for saving my life. They have truly become a part of my family. When you are down and out only the very best will do, and Dr. Birch is at the top tier of professionalism. I can only imagine where I'd be if I had listened to the other doctors and just accepted their prescriptions for psoriasis. If you are suffering from any of the "incurables," get into Purety Clinic and get healed. Divine guidance led me to this team and I am so very grateful. Best of healing to you all!

I've had an overall disappointing experience with this practice, and unfortunately I can't…read morerecommend them. The midwives themselves have been great. They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

Dr Doreo ND in Ojai offers similar services, including EBOO ozone ivs etc for half of what Dr Kate is charging. Dr Doreo is kind and shows she cares by offering free consults and even says she wants to help us get well. She spent over an hour for free on the phone talking about my health issues and my daughter's health issues. She went over everything with me that she could provide to help us get well. And she was even willing to work on prices with us! Her clinic name is Actual Welness and her website is drdoreo dot com. If you need another great option, and If willing to drive just 1 hour, there is Dr Michael Hirt in Tarazana. He is an integrative Harvard and ucla trained dual certified md with over 30 yrs experience with chronic illnesses, mystery illness, cancer, longevity and much more. He has been my doctor since 2017 and is great. He has much more experience than Dr Kate and many more services. Plus a lab that takes insurance nest door attached to his office. He is just $100 per visit after first new patient exam, which is under $300, I think like $285. That's less than HALF Dr Kate's cost. Also, He will have EBOO by end of 2025. His IV prices are also always very reasonable compared to anyone and not inflated like Dr Kate. I'm super disappointed Dr Kate is only catering the rich of Ojai and doesn't appear to care about those that are dealing with chronic illness in the Ojai Valley, unless wealthy. I despise doctors like this; that are obviously only in it for the money. Please call around. You'll discover too that she is charging 2-3x the prices of other integrative / functional doctors for the same treatments and services . I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
