I was a patient for about 6-7 years. Initially, I had a good experience and was seeing progress…read more However, things started to regress and I wasn't feeling well. I felt like I wasn't being heard during my appointments and the response was to just keep pushing more prescriptions. I finally had enough and decided I needed to make a change in providers. I sought out an eating disorder clinic in Colorado (since under fueling my intense exercise seemed to be what lead to my problems). I have been with that new clinic for a year now and all of my bloodwork has improved to being within normal categories, and I feel the best I have felt in years. I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. The treatment is much less invasive (and far less expensive) than the slew of medications SPM had me on (I just have to take Zyrtec and a mast cell stabilizer). Within a couple weeks, I knew I was on a better path. I wish SPM had investigated this instead of prescribing GLP-1's and a laundry list of others that were doing more harm than good. I'm back to running and exercising and feel the best I've felt in 10 years.

I'm going to keep it as short and sweet as I can here…read more Went to SPM because I was having a hard time losing weight and with a family history of Diabetes I wanted to monitor an markers of emerging diabetes Basically I went to the clinic, had lots of labs done, they let me know my insulin levels were not high yet but that I had post prandial hypo glycemia, meaning my blood sugar tanked when I ate food. Again, no heightened insulin levels. No pre-diabetes. They recommended I eat more calories going from about 1200-1650 calories and included a ton of grains I don't normally eat (Mediterranean diet) and put me on a semi glut ide as well as acarbose The next tests I went in for after this I was not in good shape, the medications made me sick, my insulins rose and I was now pre diabetic. Over the 6 months I was seen I did everything they asked and lost 0 pounds. I felt horrible after the 6 mo. The response at my follow up apt was to get me on a third medication and up my doses, the communication was that I would have to take medication possibly indefinitely. Also that the diabetes had unmasked. I did not feel comfortable with continuing the medication. It made it harder to be active and I was feeling sick all the time. My insulin's levels were not good and I was concerned the medications were making my situation worse. I asked to stop taking the medications and be tested again in a month. I stopped taking meds, felt better, called and made an apt for follow up labs and an apt with my provider ARNP Daphne. She said no problem, I came in for labs, a month later I check for labs. There are no labs. Also I am unable to get into portal connect. I email 6 people and call multiple times to get into the portal. There is a message about portal connect not working in safari or chrome. (Ok the what do I use to login) download Firefox, still can't get into portal connect to see my labs. Finally I get this email from Dr. Cooper (not my provider Daphne ) saying I am no longer a patient? (But daphne had said she was ready to see me and go over the labs) Dr. Cooper says she left a voicemail (this flat out didn't happen) and an email, I got only an email from Sophia (I'm guessing an admin) through portal connect WHICH WASN'T ACCESSIBLE, That says I need to fill out a form if I'd like to discharge as a patient. It also says I'll continue to pay for portal connect until I sign. I did not sign because I did not access portal connect for another month. Finally I am able to get into portal connect through the app. After a bunch of emails and calls and figuring out I could download an app because no browser works. I did not ask to be discharged, I did not sign the paperwork to discharge, I asked my provider for a follow up lab panel to decide how to move forward. My provider (Daphne Carballo) agreed to that. I then made an appointment AND GOT MY LABS DONE. And then a month after Dr. Cooper emails and says she has not sent the lab and discharged me without my knowledge. This was not a decision that took into account the best interests of my health. I'm guessing Dr. Cooper was not interested in seeing labs that corrected after I got off the medications that are a part of her regiment as it would be evidence against her for profit, private pay business. I'll be filing a complaint with the DOH. If you feel like this clinic is pushing medication and things are off and you are declining, trust your gut. I will be getting labs somewhere else and following up with what they say. You should be losing weight or correcting insulin or blood sugar issues, not getting the opposite.

I have been seeing Dr Brunsvold for maybe close to 20 years, as has my husband. Her bedside manner…read moreis comforting and she takes the time to listen. She really knows my issues and makes me feel like she really knows me and cares. I feel safe in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a general practitioner. She's a jewel and her kind of doctoring is a lost art.

I saw Dr. Brunsvold for many years and was overall satisfied. However, recently I went to see her…read morebecause I noticed some specific weight gain in areas I hadn't experienced before and chronic heartburn. She told me that I needed to see a nutrition counselor and lose weight. I have overall healthy eating habits and work out 5-6 times per week, so it didn't make sense to me that I would have this type of weight gain or chronic heartburn. I got a second opinion and discovered that I have the worst case of h.pylori she had EVER seen in her entire career. In addition, she dug a little deeper and discovered that my thyroid is very very low functioning. With some appropriate treatment, I'm on the road to recovery. I'm beyond disappointed that Dr. Brusvold chalked my symptoms up to being overweight. It was an easy "diagnosis" and it was wrong and has severely impacted my health and well being. I would not recommend this physician.

I'm committed to happy feet!…read more Those were the first words I spoke to Dr. Alexis. I had been suffering for months with foot pain that was changing how I stood and walked. I went to Dr. Alexis for what I thought was a wort that wouldn't go away. Everything I did too self treat wouldn't make the wart go away. After four months of pain and discomfort (missing dance classes and workouts), I finally broke down and booked an appointment. The office was clean and followed Covid-19 protocols keeping herself and her clients safe. Dr. Alexis is very knowledgeable. She asked meaningful questions and listened attentively to my experience. She then gently examined the area and helped me understand the root cause of my condition! She was thoughtful with answering my questions and got consent for each layer of treatment she provided. I left her office in less pain, and equipped with tools to support my ongoing foot health. I have gone back one additional time, with some of my shoes and Dr. Alexis educated me and gave me tools to have foot comfort with each pair! I feel supported and empowered on my foot healing journey! Dr. Alexis is the ideal person to have on your foot wellness team!! Highly recommended!!! Book your appointment today!!

After some quick evaluation, Ashley pointed out that a ton of flaws in my diet. While it was all healthy to begin with, it was low on carbs and not nearly enough calories to sustain my workout load. Most people tend to think that an RD is to help you lose weight, but Crave Health helped me in a whole different way. The plan put together for me was with my heavy workout load in mind without being too disruptive. I was injury free for the next 4 months and got my best time in my last half-marathon. Recently, I've been going to lose fat without necessarily losing weight. Ashley got me a modified plan and kept tabs on my progress during our visits. I have lost 2% body fat (from 19 to 17% and on my way to reach 15% goal). I have not experienced the challenges from another reviewer in scheduling appts. I work late and Crave Health has a couple of days where they take appts until late afternoon. Scheduling has been easy over email. Check your insurance and you might find out a few visits are covered in your plan. I do recommend Crave health and I'm still a client.
