So I took that and ran with it and found Shanahan rheumatology. I liked this one because a a practitioner not a franchise, put their name on it. To me, that's an ownership and accountability. They are willing to stake their name on it, which means they are confident in their assessment, treatment, and outcomes Location is easy to get to, ample parking, and the waiting room is quiet, calm with a professional, kind, and knowledgeable staff. She's very humble, but I I have saved the best for last because I know she's very humble, but I would be remiss not to mention Dr. Sairya. I have never been to a doctor so caring, so thorough, and kind. We talked over my various symptoms and she ordered a panel of tests which which identified the culprit. She then had the whole picture and began our regimen of recovering out of an acute phase of a yes damn my aim well-being patient log She tested again to determine the accuracy of that number, and it did show up again the same way so then she was able to make a plan to treat me. This kind of diagnosis is chronic, so there's no curing it. The fact that there is a physician of her caliber gives me great confidence that my condition will be managed so that I will have a better quality of life. I am completely grateful to this medical practice that demonstrates what healthcare should look like.

I was a patient at Shanahan Rheumatology for approximately seven years. During that time, I became…read moreincreasingly concerned about the practice's communication, care coordination, and responsiveness to patient concerns. I received conflicting information from different providers and staff members regarding my treatment plan. Over the period two physician assistants offered contradictory recommendations, a staff nurse provided guidance that conflicted with the PA's instructions. When I sought clarification, my questions were not adequately addressed, and I was unable to obtain clear, consistent guidance regarding my care. I also attempted to raise concerns through the patient portal, but those efforts proved frustrating and unproductive. In some instances, the information provided appeared inconsistent with FDA recommendations. I was never given the opportunity to discuss these concerns directly with Dr. Shanahan. In fact, after my initial visit, I never saw him again. Rather than addressing my concerns, I ultimately received a letter from Dr. Shanahan terminating the physician-patient relationship. Based on my experience, the quality of communication, continuity of care, and patient support declined significantly during my years with the practice and fell well below the standard of care I had come to expect.

I was going to a different chiropractor before a friend of mine recommended Dr. Macchi. My previous…read morechiropractor did manual adjustments and my issues never went away (this went on for almost 3 years). I finally decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Macchi and it was one of the best decisions I have made for my health. I have been going there for my regular check for almost 2 years now. Recently, Dr. Macchi helped me with my wrist and ankle injury. I injured my wrist and have a partial tear on my triangular fibrocartilage complex (tfcc). My orthopedist recommendation was to do surgery. I asked Dr. Macchi for his opinion and he suggested a laser treatment. I opted to do the laser treatment with him and both my wrist and ankle are starting to feel better. I'm on rehab right now and slowly getting better. Dr. Macchi and his staff are the best! I highly recommend them, especially Dr. Macchi. Thank you Dr. Macchi and team!

Dr. Bill Macchi and his staff have been taking care of me and my many aches and pains for nearly…read moreten years! Although I'm over 40, I remain very active, playing competitive league hockey and soccer, thanks in large part to the great work of the folks at Atlas who really help when I get banged up or overdo it. Everyone at their office is very positive and friendly, and Dr. Bill is one of the most ethical, genuine and kind physicians I've ever had the pleasure meeting. I must admit, I was initially skeptical about the benefits of Chiropractic, but after a knee injury I met with Dr. Bill and discussed not only my pains, but also my concerns regarding receiving real benefits of this type treatment. Well, after being a patient of his for over ten years, I can tell you the benefits are amazing!! I don't need to see him weekly or monthly, but when I have an issue, he set's up two or three appointments to get the problem resolved and (when needed) recommends outside activities, like icing, certain stretches or exercises, or laser light therapy to advance and accelerate the healing process with soft tissue injuries. If you play sports or if you are just looking for a truly excellent chiropractor, I highly recommend the folks at Atlas!

I very strongly do NOT recommend Karen Saylor NP. I feel I received near malpractice level care…read morefrom her. Her lack of attention to details of my health issues and concerns as she treated me over the past year was appalling. She put me on an extremely high toxic dose of T3 thyroid medicine that has made me extremely ill. I was never informed of what to watch for in the way of reactions (to this med or any of the many supplements she had me take). There is another Yelp review where the same thing was done to another patient. I also received almost no guidance or support in the process of tapering off the meds. I had to pay $25 to ask medical questions. Her answers were always to suggest something I was already taking or something I had already told her I couldn't take as if my chart wasn't even checked. I did not find her care 'integrative'. There was no talk of mind, spirit, or nervous system regulation. No checking with symptoms. Everything was based on $$$$ in labs which were treated with $$$$ in supplements. Her focus was pushing energy when what my system needed was gentle support and nurture.

My Stem Cell Therapy Dr. Jay Stevens has been following and…read moreworking with me for several years on improving my health and my well-being. While on a family sailing trip my left knee was swelling, painful as well as having difficulty walking. Once back in North Carolina I had a MRI, which found a torn meniscus as well as osteoarthritis in knee. Next I had arthroscopic surgery on this knee. After recovery, pain was much better. Still was not able to exercise much as often would have swelling and pain. Had several draining's of the knee and cortisone shot for relief. Often I was not able to stand for longer than 30-minutes. Additionally, I have rheumatoid arthritis and diverticular disease to manage. Working most days around pain, discomfort and a feeling of being overwhelmed with all the medications I take daily. Having several attacks of diverticulitis and being concerned as taking antibiotics too often to control the attacks. Next comes a wonderful phone call from Dr. Stevens. Suggesting that I look at few websites and talk with my family and other physicians about this Stem Cell Therapy treatment to improve my life. On June 10th was the day of my Stem Cell Therapy. Had the harvesting of my stem cells and next had a shot in the left knee. Given an IV with millions of my own cells to help with the RA and diverticular disease. For the next few days worked out the soreness but was able to begin to feel better and my knee was NOT swelling. The first challenge was the beginning of diverticulitis with nausea and little discomfort only three and half weeks from treatment. Right from the start I was challenging the therapy. With increasing my water and adding additional fiber to my diet I was able to work out this attack with NO antibiotic. This would have not happened before treatment. Next was to challenge the left knee. Went hiking for three hours and had no pain and/or swelling. Daily I'm able to exercise and strength train and have been pain free. Now I have returned to a life of working out in the gym with a trainer. Playing golf and hiking as often as I like.

Spent an entire hour with me, but the tests cost thousands of dollars and that does not include ongoing care. I paid $600 per quarter plus $150 for 90 days of compounded hormones for a year. First they wanted to cut a small slot to insert a pellet in my lower back, but I said no. We did cream roll on instead. I felt better on hormones, but to monitor them, had to take a spit test via snail mail only to discover they didn't have any enough of a sample. Then they wanted me to pay an extra $150 for bloodwork each time since the spit test didn't work. Felt like nickel and diming. They do not take insurance. When I had a side effect from the hormones they told me I needed to sign up for primary care in order for them to help me. Just doesn't make sense for them to receive so much money and then not help a patient in need. If you're someone with lots of different health issues, it might be good to get care from them, because they can review all the data together. They still refer you to specialists, which is a separate process with separate fees. An endocrinologist can prescribe and monitor hormone treatment. It's not rocket science. It wasn't a miracle drug. My skin still ages, elasticity declines, there is a risk of cancer if you don't take the right combo and don't start early enough, but mentally it's been good. Good doctors are out there. Most people don't need a concierge. After having one, I must say I'm not healthier, but it's nice to get more attention.
