My brother and I have been on a search for my mom's arthritis pain…read more First she went the chemical medicine route, got diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis as an Auto-Immune attack on her joints that caused inflammation leading to pain. For about a year she took very strong medication through the Novant Health System, some was a low dose cancer medication to prevent her immune system from attacking her joints, this has very harsh side effect including hair loss and fatigue. The more symptoms she had the more medications she got prescribed. We were referred to Dr. Smith by one of our clients, she assured his team will be perfect for this type of Immune Problem. Decision to invest in this program was hard because it isn't cheap but then again the insurance covers expensive chemical medication that DO NOT CURE any disease it just masks the pain. In the end what are we saving? Money or Side Effects? We decided as a family to invest in her health not in a chemical system that isn't meant to heal any disease. This was the best option for her problems, she went through a very subtle and prepared nutrition detox to get toxins, sugar and other inflammatory foods from her diet. She also got all the vitamins, supplements and natural medications in the program to get through her detox without getting weak or fatigued. At the end of the program she was 100% off any chemical drugs, she lost over 40 lbs and the pain in her joints with the program reduced in pain about 80%. This program is not guaranteed to work but health is more important to invest in instead of taking harsh chemicals that do not sure anything. Her body is now strong and her immune system is stronger than ever. We highly recommend this program but if you do not do your part and follow the instructions and have self discipline with the nutrition coach then it won't work. Thank you to all the staff at Dr. Smiths office for getting my mom back to her health! No money or investment in the world can pay for her body functioning naturally and healthier than ever!

I opted to go to the Carolina Natural Health Center in Charlotte after reading through the reviews…read more"they allowed to be posted", speaking directly to the doctor and his team and being informed of how the plan would work. I was told they specialize in natural health and that they would be able to help with graves disease/hyperthyroidism, getting to the root cause and providing "total body healing" as a result of their program. As their website states " we're passionate about helping people with autoimmune diseases not only find relief from their symptoms but also naturally heal their bodies--so they no longer have to live with an autoimmune disease at all". They claim to be a Christian based facility in which that allowed me to trust them even more. At first it seemed they were very organized, setting up appointments with coaches, f/u with doctor and scheduling task to read/view and complete in the patient portal however, after a while I noticed they did not answer my questions promptly in the patient portal... I had to send them an email and call the office to get their attention as to where I was concerned about the huge box of supplements (over 20 different supplements) received via mail. The issue was that some of the ingredients in some of the supplements were specifically hazardous to take concerning the thyroid, it could potentially cause a flare up and end up in the hospital. They will literally send you supplements without going through and checking EACH one to confirm they will not effect your health individually (mind you Ive been in the medical field for over 20 years, so at least I knew better to CHECK MYSELF). Seems like no one will ever care as much about your health as YOUR OWN SELF. I also had an issue with the Kangen water they offer to those that live in the area (which is a nice gesture) however, it made my tongue do a weird tingling thing (like an electrical shock) NEVER had this before drinking this water after many days/a couple of weeks. I asked one of their doctors about it (not sure if these are even real doctors) and I was told that shouldn't cause an issue (brushed me off) only to google and fine out "A tingling tongue while drinking Kangen water (a type of alkaline water) may be a sign of an allergic reaction, mineral imbalance (such as a drop in calcium levels), or an effect of the water's highly alkaline properties. If the sensation is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, you should stop drinking the water and consult a doctor immediately). Next, I was told there would be two weekly meetings to meet up on zoom with others in the program (which sounded great), Id love to learn and speak with others going through medical healing... but I never received the invite via email. This program was just not adding up to what I was informed and I just wanted to be done with it. I took $6900 out of my 401K to pay for this up front for a "four month program" ...that is $1725 a month!!! I am not rich but I will pay for my health. After I told them I no longer wanted to continue the program (started 12/1 and ended 12/30)... they offered to give me back only $1676.00 WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND AN ENTIRE SCAM!!! Please I warn you, everything in this program you can do on your own. They show you short repetitive videos and a few worksheets every week in a patient portal (very repetitive information) that you can research on your own and probably already know because I'm sure you have researched how to heal naturally beforehand. And ofcourse you get your lab testing in the beginning of the program and once you finish. But it is not worth it. I am so upset, as I am a single mom, I could have used that money for much other things needed. I did not expect them to give me back only $1676 out of $6900. This is not right however, I will leave it in God's hand to deal with them, Amen.

My condition and quality of life continued to worsen, but the plan of action didn't change, so I sought someone new. I was led to Dr. Iriza who was willing to give me a second opinion. She was fabulous! Prior to my appointment she reviewed my chart to familiarize herself with my complications. She spent at least an hour with me examining me, asking and answering questions, explaining previous lab results, and diagnosing my symptoms/lab results. She did not repeat any labs, but ordered additional labs to better guide her in my treatment plan - which she started me on that day. That day I left her office with a smile in my face and feeling mentally charged! I've only been a patient of Dr. Iriza's for one week, but already I, and my family, can see the difference she has made for me and my quality of life. We are grateful for a physician who truly cares!

It's been awhile since I was there (early 2024) and have seen such a plethora of other unsatisfactory physicians in the interim that I cannot recall if he prescribed any of the generally ineffective and commonly prescribed "pain" meds at all such as Lyrica. I wasn't looking for any of the dog and pony circus of treatment with opiates at that time being I was already well aware of the pitfalls of that such as it is impossible to even obtain a sufficiently high enough dosage to be worth my while to try them again. Therefore, instead I just lay down a lot, hire people to do my housework @ 30 bucks per hour, cannot even stand at my sink more than 5 minutes to wash my own dishes, have to pay someone to drive my dogs to the dog groomers being I still cannot even bend over my own laundry sink long enough to bathe my own 5 and 6 lb dogs, plus of course I have major problems simply bending over to pick things up off my floor - pretty pathetic really as I actually know myself how to fix these things. While I have more invisible illnesses than I can count on 2 to 3 hands, there is not one MD I have met anywhere in this metropolis who knows anywhere close to as much as do about them sadly. There is absolutely NO excuse for this happening in AMERIKA so shame on what has been allowed to happen with three downfall of our entire healthcare system here. *** Otoh, Kiran Semmelsberger, PA, formerly of Atrium Primary Care in Mint Hill certainly did.

While these reflections of mine RE: the medical care thus far found in Charlotte, NC, are not at all just directed towards this one practice on Springbank, this practice I went to one time only was in fact a typical example of what is being described. *** End result currently?? What a wasted life due to insuffucient, deficient, or lack of medical care in Charlotte NC - 17th largest metro area in the country I read somewhere ... pretty sad
