    I lived a very active lifestyle and then about eight or nine years ago I started feeling terrible…read more All of my joints were swollen I had no energy , terrible fatigue. I went to a doctor after doctor and nobody would resolve it. Doctors kept telling me that I was a mother that's why I was tired or I need a physical therapy or I need allergy medicine. My quality-of-life was hugely diminished and I couldn't participate in many of the activities I always loved and I would look at people jealously that were skiing and snowboarding like I used to do or mountain biking. During COVID-19 lockdown I found a book called the new music cure and I found out about Dr. Blake so I called her up. Over the course of a year she gave me my life back. Instead of traditional medicine where they look at one pill and give you one pill for that situation she looks at the whole body and realized I probably was suffering from Lyme disease. I did not believe her but it turns out I had it. I don't want to spend too much time in the review going into all the details but I will tell you that you can trust Dr. Blake to take good care of you and to bring your health back. I cannot Article express my gratitude. Also she's just so easy to be around. Dr. Blake is calm , understanding, empathetic, knowledgeable and so fun to talk with while resolving issues that other doctors overlook and often don't understand. I can workout again. I've lost 25 pounds. I feel so much better and I know I've done right by my body.

    Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

    I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

As a vulnerable new mom, I fell for her scam. I purchased several treatments, and got my son the surgery. I can tell you that his feeding and his tongue got much worse post surgery and post treatment by Holly. This is a pattern happening our country right now. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/29/health/tongue-tie-releases-aap.html?unlocked_article_code=1.JE4.bDHY.uWyTsDmDHXvf&smid=url-share. Additionally, the billing practices of Preventive Medical Center were incorrect multiple times and when I would reach out to help correct them I never got an answer. So we have been scammed out of additional funds. Finally, I called the main line and left a message for the owner on his direct line, giving him the courtesy chance to call me back before I post a review, but again after two weeks, I heard nothing back so think people should know the truth here. My opinion is that this practice is a general scam - people posing as "eastern medicine" and trying to scare vulnerable people in treatments that are not covered by insurance. Lastly, the front desk and nurses there are very scary and strange when it comes to babies. In the middle is this latest Covid 19 scare this summer 2024, the front desk woman and a nurse there came up to me three separate times in TEN minutes while I was trying to feed my crying eight week old in the waiting room, who already had trouble feeding because of Holly's incompetence. Um...my baby is 8 weeks old and doesn't have his shots yet and covid is going around again. Go away!!!! Clueless folks at this office all around who just want to take advantage of folks. Stay away for your own sake.

    The first thing to understand is Dr. Ashe is a specialist in Functional Medicine…read more In case you need to know functional medicine is based on the understanding of human biochemistry and beyond. A discussion of functional medicine is beyond the scope of a yelp review but there are several books at the introductory level including one by Jeffrey Bland the founder of the field. Functional Medicine is a field of medicine sanctioned by the American Medical Association. Which means training and licensing is done with the oversight of the AMA. This differs radically from herbalists, naturopaths, chiropractors who are separate from the AMA. To oversimplify functional medicine treats a plethora of "lifestyle" diseases, such as diabetes, certain gut conditions, cardiovascular health and more. Treatment starts with optimizing diet, including vitamins and supplements where diet is insufficient. From there it gets pretty sophisticated with genetic testing and up. Back to Dr Ashe, she is one of the most research-oriented and well-informed doctors I ever had. She wrote some of the most meticulously researched articles on the deleterious effects of wildfire smoke. I was impressed, this level is scholarship is wasted on a newsletter sent to a few patients. It should be considered for publication in a peer reviewed journal. I can only hope some journal picks up on these. If you have a difficult condition that falls within functional medicine, I'd pick her. I totally respect her views. But it's not all easy. Insurance coverage for functional medicine is iffy. My current insurance won't cover it, so I'm out of luck. My previous insurance was less honest and pretended to offer coverage while making it as difficult as possible to process claims. Overall, I prefer honesty.

I slept on a recliner, crawled on hands and knees, then eventually butt walked. Standing was torture from the rush of blood to my legs.

After 3-1/2 hours of interviewing me and results from extensive blood tests, Dr. ashe said "I will call you in a few days with a solution. When next we talked, she gave me a special, temporary diet and a list of supplements to buy and assertively said "Take these supplements. They will CURE you.

These practices helped but but the pain never completely went away. This is when I realized I needed to work with someone who specialized holistic & energetic medicine. It took me more than a year to finally make an appointment with Boris, as I kept making excuses as to why I wasn't ready. As of date, I have seen Boris a total of 8 times and my hip pain is virtually gone. His sessions consisted of gentle, hands-on adjustments to correct physical misalignments, discussions (openly & compassionately) about how trauma can be stored in my body, and how to heal from the inside, out. I feel completely safe and empowered when I work with Boris. His sessions are so benign and at the same time, powerful. I continue to see Boris montly, as his sessions are now a part of my self-care. I've even recommended him to family members who now see him on a regular basis. I'm so grateful that I found Boris and I highly recommend him if you are ready to take charge of your health & well-being.

I have tried different modalities including massage, craniosacral therapy, etc. and none have offered relief in the same way. Massage are usually uncomfortable for me and can even create more tension. This therapy, however, is very grounding and relaxing. I can feel my body and nervous system relax the minute Boris starts working. He has strong knowledge of the human body because of his background in nursing and he is also very intuitive. He has been able to notice things no one else has been able to pinpoint. We are working together on finding the root cause of my years of undiagnosed issue. I like that he is a bit of an investigator like me. Boris is a great listener, very patient and empathetic with a broad awareness between the mind, body and spirit. It has been a pleasure to work with him and look forward to getting back to 100% soon with his support.

I went to Dr. K because on her website it specifies that she is a thyroid specialist. There is no qualification for this that I have found. She led me on for months, costing me thousands out of pocket and I received very minimal care. She even said if my situation was too complex for her that she would ask other health professionals that she is in contact with for assistance. She never did this. I discussed with her how I had been a vegan for several years, but no longer, so I didn't feel dairy was my issue. I told her I had already given up sugar and gluten for a while with little difference to my wellbeing. She insisted I give these things up for months before she would give me the thyroid medication I researched and deeply felt I needed. She promised she would do this for me so I suffered for 2 months in her "care" while she did basically nothing. She was convinced I have an adrenal problem, and that was the cause of my problems, turns out I have high inflammation in my blood which she never checked for. I told her I was constantly dizzy and she didn't take my blood pressure at our visits, turns out my blood pressure is abnormally low, shock! When she finally gave me the medication I told her I needed, I finally found relief from many of my symptoms, how amazing... thank you Internet research and self determination. For several months after this she wouldn't even put me on the recommended starting dose for this medication, so I kept sinking into my old symptoms until she would mildly up my dosage. Then she threatened to not renew my script. This was unacceptable. She even made up a diagnosis for me that doesn't exist. Not professional. Needless to say I fired her and got a real MD and thyroid specialist that has actual qualifications. She immediately discovered through blood testing that I have inflammation in my blood caused by a long lived virus, that I have low blood pressure, and she immediately gave me a much higher dose of my medication. She also prescribed me MUCH less and different supplements than Dr. Kristy did, which I paid hundreds for. The end result being that in one session with an actual medical professional I have answers after wasting a year jumping through Dr. Kristy's hoops. I can now understand why there is so much hate for NPs. Your health is in your hands. As far as I am concerned, you can get better care by researching the Internet, getting blood tests done anywhere, and then going to an integrative health professional, not a snake oil salesman. That is a miserable year of my life, and a lot of money I can't get back.

She referred me to a surgeon who was on vacation and busy until after the holidays. After my surgery, one would think Dr. Ward would care enough to at least follow up. No such doctor here. She is probably a really nice person, but needs more medical experience and to be honest, I am not sure what she was thinking if she was at all returning my email with a call on Christmas Eve to tell me I had cancer.
