I had a baby 6 months ago and was having trouble getting rid of the last 10 lbs of baby weight when…read moreI first started coming to Ericka. I had my first session about two months ago and it was very reasonably priced. I was a little skeptical of this process- I didn't know if it would work or how long the results would last but I hoped for the best. Ericka concentrated the sculpting on my abdomen area since I had that c-section "pooch" and that was one of my target areas to tone up. I did notice that the area was tighter and flatter the next day and stayed that way- it wasn't just a temporary toning that was gone the next day, which is what I was afraid of. I decided to buy a package of 4 more sessions since the first one worked for me. Now, 3 sessions later, I have lost 8lbs and the resistant back fat that I had from my pregnancy is greatly reduced and my stomach is pretty much completely flat. I have done zero ab exercises, by the way and I don't get to work out much these days with a new baby. I do try to eat better but I haven't been on a diet or anything, so I know that it's the body sculpting that has definitely helped get rid of my excess fat. I did a session once a week or every two weeks since I was busy and it worked for me! Whenever someone tells me that I don't look like I've just had a baby, I tell them about Ericka and tell them they should try the body sculpting. I've even had people tell me that I look more in shape now than before I had the baby! I have one more session left and I can't wait but I definitely might buy a few more just until I'm down to my ideal weight.

The heat and lights unique wavelength stimulates fat cells to release energy that is then easily metabolized. The process is similar to when your body enters the "fat burning" stage of a good cardiovascular workout. It also increases collagen and elastin in the skin while creating a slimmer figure. It's completely safe, natural, painless and non-invasive. Your first session is only $49! Call and book directly with shoppe for this offer.

I would not recommend this practice. I was discharged from the hospital after a 3-night stay,…read morediagnosed with severe UC. During checkout, there was no discussion on what to expect on the road ahead. nor was any followup (and by when) discussed. The night after discharge, I had concerns and called the office 3-minutes after opening. I was connected with "clinical support" and left a detailed message. It turns those persons are working remotely. So, I called back about 1PM after hearing nothing. My first call got dropped; wasn't called back, and had to call in again. This time I was told to go the ER, which I did. Going back in history, I started having digestive issues in May 2025. I made an appointment with the firm, and was told based on a 2024 colonoscopy, I had hemorrhoids and to start taking fiber, which was no help, so I got with my primary care physician, who did several tests, prescribed medication for IBS, and over the course of a few months got better. So, my initial concerns were "blown off" by Atlanta Gastro. My primary care physician ruled out celiac disease and Chrone's, but indicated UC could only be diagnosed with a colonoscopy. But his diet recommendations and prescribed medications to treat IBS worked over time, and had successful quarterly visits with my primary care physician. Early this year, following a trip abroad, I began having worsening digestive issues and during the routine visit found I was borderline anemic. suspecting internal GI bleeding, myprimary care physician referred me back to Atlanta Gastrointestinal. I had an initial visit in early March, and was scheduled for full GI testing in mid-April, plus other routine tests. I had calls get dropped 3 times in relation to the prescribed lab tests. In no instance was the dropped call returned; rather, I had to phone in and leave another message. Before I could have the scheduled endoscopy / colonoscopy as an out-patient, my condition worsened, and was admitted to the hospital. I called in to Atlanta Gastro to inform them that I was headed to the ER and they followed my case, starting from ER tests. They had brief visits with me during the 2-days after procedure, but no follow-up from them in the discharge orders. in fact, I still had to call the office to cancel my outpatient tests else I would have been charged for a no-show. You can make appointments via their web site, but can't cancel; you have to talk to a real person. I should not have had to call to cancel anyway as they were aware of my condition and supposedly following the case. So, in my case, terrible customer (patient) service, multiple dropped calls, and no follow up checking on my condition. Communication with and within this office obvious is poor. I felt like being treated like a number vice a patient. I am unhappy, and going forward taking my GI care elsewhere!

Unbelievably inefficient front office. I had to cancel an appointment due to being sick and they…read morecalled me a few days later to tell me I had missed my appointment. I had to wait another 2+ months to get another appointment and when I arrived they said I needed a referal. No one ever said anything about needing a referal when I confirmed my appointment days before when I confirmed by phone. On top of that, when I arrived at the office for my scheduled appointment, the girl I spoke with was rude about not having the referal which I knew nothing about and said you can't be seen. The doctors may be great, but contending with the front office at the Northside location is infuriating!

I've been going to this doctor for about two years and during my visits, mostly everything runs…read moresmoothly. The doctors and nurses that I have met with all seem pleasant and professional. I've never had a bad experience inside the office. However, they have a serious problem with fielding phone calls and returning calls. Just the other day, I was told by my pharmacist that they couldn't refill a prescription for me because my doctor's office would not return their calls. Since I desperately needed this prescription refilled, I called the office upwards of six times without speaking to one person. Voicemail every single time on a weekday. The seventh time I called them I finally got an answer from the receptionist, who then transferred me to my doctor's nurse. The phone rang for about 3 minutes before I heard the sound of the phone being picked up and then the click of it being put down immediately after. So not only did I not get to refill a prescription I very badly needed, but I was also ignored and/or pushed aside. Needless to say I'm very disappointed with the office at the moment and I STILL don't have my prescription a week and a half after trying to call it in the first time.

My wife and I visited Open Hand Atlanta to volunteer our time for a couple of hours to prep meals…read more Open Hand provides nutritional meals for those with chronic diseases, such as AIDS/HIV, different forms of cancer, etc. These nutritional meals promote and prolong healthier way of life. Once you arrive and sign in, you'll be taken to a waiting room area, where Open Hand staff gives you a rundown of their history and what their mission is. You also get the rules of the prep room and are gifted a one of a kind hairnet, plastic apron, and men with facial hair gets face masks. No jewelry may be at any time. Rings, necklaces, earrings, facial piercings, watches, etc. can NOT be worn. There are different things that you can do at this space, but I wanted to do meal prep. We washed our hands and grabbed plastic gloves. Keep in mind, the gloves are different sizes. The meal prep was like an assembly line. The meal we prepped was Beef Stroganoff on Noodles with Green Beans. With a scale, the first person weighed the appropriate number for the noodles, the second person weighed the right number of beef stroganoff, and the third person weighed the right number for green beans. There is then a fourth person who wipes off any excess food from around the rim of the food container. This is important so the plastic cover will seal appropriately. It's then put in this contraption that holds multiple containers and a person press seals it and puts it to the side. This is definitely quite a process, but once you get into the flow of it, it becomes easier. Some people make it a challenge against another group to see who can make the most meals. Side note: THIS PLACE IS FREEZING! The ENTIRE BUILDING IS COLD! Bring a jacket or hoody. Overall, this is a great place to come with a group or by yourself and do some charitable services. Fortunately, we came with a large group of my wife's coworkers, so we were able to knock out over 2,500 meals which was awesome! I'd definitely come back.

I volunteered at Open Hand two weeks ago (Saturday, July 22, 2017) and had a lot of fun. I didn't…read moreknow what to expect as far as working conditions, the general environment, and exactly what we would be doing. Would I be in some freezing cold meat locker? Would I be inside an insanely hot warehouse? Would I be breaking my already broken back moving heavy objects around? Would I be doing some mundane task for hours and be bored out of my mind? Fortunately, the answer to all those questions was no. I went with a big group to celebrate someone's birthday (a neat idea). Half of us did meal packing and the other half did market basket packing. I signed up for meal packing. Our meal packing session involved packing meals into bags and portioning food into individual containers (think frozen TV dinners). The food was already cooked and just needed to be heated up to be eaten. Market basket packing involves packing nonperishable foods. In this case, the food wasn't cooked and the recipients would need to cook it themselves. We signed up to work from 1pm to 4pm. Each of us had to register on Open Hand's website. After registering and reserving our spots, we received confirmation emails with information, reminders, and dress code requirements. One of the dress code requirements in my confirmation email said, "Long pants are preferred. Skirts or dresses must be shin length." I wore shorts. When standing, those shorts touched the top of my knees. My girlfriend, who also signed up for meal packing, wore shorts too. Her shorts were shorter. She ended up getting moved to market basket packing because of the length of her shorts. This wasn't a big deal, but the dress code requirements listed in the confirmation email should have been more clear about shorts or simply just said that long pants are required for meal packing. There was at least one other person in our meal packing group with knee-length shorts. When you arrive to Open Hand, the volunteer entrance is clearly marked. Each volunteer must sign in and sign out using a computer just inside the entrance. We arrived right around 1pm, checked in, and were ushered into an orientation room. The orientation was quick, about 10 minutes. A short video about Open Hand was played and then we got some in-person instruction. After that, we were whisked to our volunteer work areas. For meal packing, we had to wear hair nets and aprons. First, we helped prepare bags to place meals in, then we moved into the meal packing work area. This was a cool, clean room with various tables and assembly lines. One group was already sealing TV dinner trays when we arrived. We washed our hands and helped assemble bags with four meals in them: Monday lunch, Monday dinner, Tuesday lunch, and Tuesday dinner with cornbread and condiments (ketchup and mustard). It was pretty easy. Each person was assigned to place one or two items into each bag and pass it down. I was responsible for the ketchup and mustard. After a bag had four meals, cornbread, and condiments, it was tied and placed on a tray which was later stacked and carted off. We assembled 126 of these Monday-Tuesday meal bags. Two of our meal packing group were broken off and sent to the cornbread station where they individually bagged and sealed cornbread. The cornbread was already cooked and cut. After assembling the meal bags, we took a short break in the break room and then were called back into the meal packing room for another job. This time, we had to portion food into TV dinner trays which would later be sealed. This task was harder than the last because we had to handle food directly with our hands (wearing gloves of course) and measure correct portion sizes using scales. We packed 285 meal trays filled with chicken, mushroom risotto, and peas and pearl onions. The hands of the people scooping and portioning out the risotto and peas got tired. I helped a little bit with the peas and organizing and stacking the meal trays on bigger trays, but I mostly was responsible for placing a piece of chicken on top of the risotto. We ended up spending almost our full 3-hour allotment at Open Hand. The market basket packing group ended up finishing early, in under 1.5 hours. Volunteer Services Manager Julie Barwig was the person who oversaw our group. In the meal packing room, Andre led us for the meal bag packing and Shameka led us for the meal tray portioning. Everyone was nice and friendly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I'm now considering signing up to do meal delivery. Open Hand's mission statement: "Open Hand helps people prevent or better manage chronic disease through Comprehensive Nutrition Care, which combines home-delivered meals and nutrition education as a means to reinforce the connection between informed food choices and improved quality of life." The campus is located in the industrial Armour neighborhood of Atlanta near SweetWater Brewing Company and the Armour Yard rail yard on the southern edge of Buckhead.
