The nurses were extremely kind and helped right away. I felt like a priority. There was a really open environment to discuss health topics not just with the nurses, but as well as the people in the facility. You could tell the building itself has state of the art new technology that immediately made me feel like I was in a professional environment. The rooms themselves are very aesthetic. When I walked in with my nurse Lindsey, she was very communicative with my concerns. I have been getting vitamin shots and drips for sometime now in another location before moving to San Francisco and I'm so happy I found my new place. The variety of IV Drips are amazing, and all injections are absolutely painless. I had no bruising. I highkey recommend the fountain of youth or any of drips with glutathione- it always makes me feel so much better and these IV drips can also serve a preventative to dehydration if your headed to a very dry place or a festival! I overall love the process and would 100% come back. My experience was so worth it and Lindsey is truly a gem. She made me feel so comfortable and really knew what she was doing. They also have other items like body scans, etc that will allow you to see health progress! But I really recommend the shots and drips because MY GOSH I feel so much better after it. Once again - health and wellness accelerator !!

I found Shanti on my own over 10 years ago, then was referred to her again years later by a…read morephysician. Both times, I hesitated because of the cost -- I told myself I was already paying for insurance, so why pay out of pocket for something extra? That decision cost me more than money. I've been dealing with serious health issues since 2018, and I didn't see real progress in my treatment until I finally integrated Shanti into my care team. After a few years working with her, I'm in the best health I can remember in years -- and honestly, the turnaround still shocks me. Shanti has been the cornerstone connecting the dots across a complicated health picture: major weight and puffiness fluctuations, food reactions and allergies, MCAS/histamine issues, mold, migraines, headaches, and joint pain -- all while juggling multiple doctors and endless investigative work. She's been there on the days I could barely move or eat, in real pain and down, and she's helped me build a fuller care team rather than trying to be everything herself. She got me OFF the endless cycle of adding supplements and protocols, and taught me to simplify and actually listen to my body. She's patient, she remembers every detail of my history so I never feel like a number, and she adapts to what's realistic for me rather than forcing one rigid method or diet. We've also gone deeper than the physical -- into the inner work of trauma, stress, and old patterns -- and worked through how my health connects to my marriage, family, work, and travel. I'm so grateful for my work with Shanti. It has been life changing. I wouldn't be able to propel into my next steps in life without the rigor and resilience of our time together.

Working with Shanti has been one of the most empowering and supportive decisions I've made for my…read morehealth. I trust her completely--not just with my goals, but with my overall well-being. Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She's not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything--she's incredibly attuned to the body's natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we're built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly--her approach works. I've been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I've experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you're ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can't recommend Shanti enough. She's the real deal

One of the doctors told me I "really wasn't going to feel anything" with the smallest (least expensive) IV bag and not to expect much. When the first bag was finished, one of the doctors walked over and switched the bag without saying anything - no hello, explaining it was finished, she was now switching over, etc.. No one even said bye after I was done! The whole experience was really disappointing especially seeing how chatty everyone else was with all of the other clients there (who went along with their suggestions and upgraded and added services). The facilities themselves are clean and modern, and it's a shame they were all completely unaware of the difference in treatment.

PHYSICAL THERAPY:…read more One physical therapist would always be on their cell phone and make small talk instead of watching my form during each 45-minute session. Another one was extremely impatient when delivering a life sentence diagnosis. I couldn't tell if they were just having a bad day or just taking it out on me. Either way, it was extremely unhelpful. They lectured me for 40 minutes about how my life will be filled with injuries and that I should stop getting medical imaging. I only got imaging when I did what that physical therapist said I could do and either didn't get better or got worse after six months, something I didn't have the heart to tell this physical therapist. The only other time a different healthcare provider scolded me was to quit a stressful job. I could at least sense that they did it out of care for me, though they were still telling me that it was all my fault. But during this lecture, I only felt dismissed with each gentle, diplomatic question I asked. They kept telling me to trust my body, something I gently reminded them that studies show is very hard to do with the diagnosis they gave. During their lecture, I asked if they could muscle test me so I could know which of their exercises to do more of. Muscle testing takes at most three minutes. They refused until I started crying. I've never cried in front of a physical therapist or doctor before, even when they delivered damning news. When they finally muscle tested me, they gave advice that contradicted advice they lectured me for 40 minutes for. Had I not asked repeated to be muscle tested, I would have gone home to do exercises that would have created more imbalance in my body. They told me there's no hope though they aren't an expert in some of my issues. I asked if they might ever take classes on one of my issues that they never looked into and I finally learned that they aren't an expert on, and they didn't even bother to test or observe or ask for previous medical records. I got no reply. I don't expect anyone to be an expert in my issues. But I do expect basic politeness instead of defensiveness and impatience. Instead they told me not to do any of the physical therapy exercises from a different provider who at least gave exercises for one of my issues. They also repeatedly told me if I'm not in pain, I'm fine. That's something that isn't possible for someone with my diagnosis. I told them that I lived that way for decades, only to get more and more injured in my whole body. Rule #1 for anyone in the healing world: unless you're god or you know every bodywork modality in the world, don't take away all hope someone has. I'll never book with a provider before confirming what they know about my issues or insisting that they look at my previous medical records. BILLING DOESN'T LIST DATES OF SERVICE OR SEND BILLS TO PATIENT BY MAIL OR EMAIL: Their new system stopped mailing bills to me without telling me. They started mailing bills to the guarantor of the health insurance account, which looked like solicitations for donations. Meanwhile I was getting mail asking for donations. I can't make this up. So the guarantor (my partner) didn't open letters from UCSF because they never went to UCSF for healthcare. When my partner finally opened the mail months later, they saw they were bills for me. None were itemized. So I emailed asking for dates of service and to make sure I didn't get charged late fees because when I log it, it still shows that I signed up for paperless bills, though I never got one for years! Five business days later, I still haven't heard from them. And there's no option to talk to billing on the phone.

I will update my review after I've actually managed to have an appointment here. The process of…read moretrying to procure an appointment, however, has been a journey in and of itself. My doctor referred me to St Franchis for PT. They called me to schedule an appointment. I called back, let a VM as no one picked up even though it was business hours. I called back the next day again and they asked me to check with my insurance if they were in network. I called my insurance to confirm that yes, they were in network. Then I called back to make an appointment. They dug around for 10 mins and came back and said they lost the referral from my doctor. So I could wait a week until someone who is out can come back and find the referral, or I can ask my doctor to re-send the referral. I then had to call my doctor again to re-send the referral asap. So far I've probably spent 45 mins trying to get an appointment here, and I don't have one yet. I'm sure this place is great based on reviews, but I see some others have complained about the support staff, and I think it's valid as it's disappointing to have to work so hard to pay someone else money.

This review is long overdue.

He ran standard bloodwork and told me that everything looked normal. Great, so I'm just nuts? I found Dr. Horowitz after doing a lot of research and decided to see if she could figure this out. Bottom line, she has changed my life. After discussing my symptoms, habits, lifestyle, etc. I sensed she knew the root cause of my issues, but wanted to see the results of bloodwork (more specific bloodwork!) and a hormone levels test. After reviewing and explaining to me the results, the root cause, and the domino effect of issues that result from the root cause, Dr. Horowitz put me on a regimen that slowly, but surely, turned things around. After a few months my energy returned, I get quality sleep (so important!), and I've even lost weight. And this has all been sustained a year later. I highly recommend seeking guidance from Dr. Horowitz if you can relate to my symptoms. She has improved my quality of life, and I am forever grateful.

They can design diets to treat specific medical conditions. Emily has her Master's and is a registered dietician. As I'm getting older, my usual lifestyle and tricks weren't enough to keep the pounds packing on. I had some success with Keto but the calorie count wasn't sustainable and I veered off course, like crash and burn off course. And I eat out. All. The. Time. I don't find cooking relaxing or therapeutic. Don't judge. I just needed someone to give me a meal plan. I went to Emily, and in the end, she gave me so much more than a meal plan. At our initial intake, she explained her philosophy - no fad diets, just real food, and you can have what you want in moderation. Emily has lots of tricks up her sleeve and truly works a meal plan that fits your lifestyle. More importantly, she is making me think about WHY and WHAT I eat because if you are going to her, there's something you want to change. I thought I just wanted my macros and suggestions for meals that fit within it, but it turns out I needed more of a coach than a nutritionist. She listens -- and makes an actionable plan for me. She checks in -- to hold me accountable. She's knowledgeable and I learn from her. She has several flexible plans -- with meal plans, without, meet in person (prior to COVID-1) or video conference. And it's all working -- I've lost some pounds, I'm learning about myself and why I eat, how to stick to my stated goals, and yes, even cook a little. I highly recommend Emily!

She's like a cross between a physical therapist, coach/trainer, and Professor of Kinesiology, all wrapped together with an intuitive touch and lovely personality. I first got a massage from Maury after another massage therapist messed up my back, leaving me unable to fall asleep from the pain. Maury worked through the inflammation and taught me how to recognize when a deep massage starts getting TOO deep. (Is this a problem for anyone else? Like, where it's hard to tell if it's a good hurt or a bad hurt during a massage?) Even when I see other massage therapists, I use a trick that Maury taught me to give me the confidence to ask for the therapist to decrease their pressure (or to ask for more while being mindful of my limit.) Maury is great for a relaxing massage, but really shines if you are trying to get the most out of your body. As an athlete herself (ran track, was in the Army, still plays soccer in a competitive league), she just totally understands the crazy stuff people push themselves to do and knows how to nurse you back to health -- and, probably more importantly, how to help you avoid injuries in the first place. For example, I was telling Maury that I had started getting into running again, and I couldn't understand why my lower back was hurting. She watched me run a bit and then gave me a few pointers that have totally erased the back pain -- and increased my ab definition :) In short, Maury is a baller. Highly recommend!
