My rheumatologist said, "I guess we'll call this osteoarthritis" and wrote a prescription. But Dr. Dillon spent an hour listening to my health history and asking questions. She was able to select a blood test that identified my issues, and she developed and clearly communicated a plan for healing. She has given me excellent suggestions for dietary changes, vitamins and supplements, and lifestyle changes. All were presented as options, and I never felt pressured to purchase anything. I appreciate that she takes a holistic approach and considers how the body systems work together. And I also appreciate that she is not asking me to make changes that feel unreasonable. The office is run efficiently and it is easy to communicate via the app if I have questions between visits. I am used to self-paying for all of our family's medical care, and I feel her prices are very fair. In fact, it's a bargain when I consider all the money I've wasted on major medical tests that were not helpful.

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.

They respond by email but never the first day.

Be careful. I was referred by a friend who saw this doctor a long time ago and paid a la cart…read more She was very happy with the diagnosis and suggestions. I was told I had to buy a package and it would cover all the costs. It was a lot of money ($5k) and I never saw the doctor, just the nurse practitioner and nutritionist. I was looking to see if there was anything I could improve on my health as I will be retiring soon and will have to pay my own health care. They had some vitamin suggestions and that worked fine. But I asked for a detailed expense listing and never got one. Additionally I am now getting lab bills they didn't pay. I would not recommend what they offer for the price they charge but I understand people are willing to pay for optimal health. Just be careful what you are buying and what you are getting for your money. This is a suggestion to have better expectations and results for your money than I did. Clearly you should see the doctor more than the nutritionist.

But I can comment on the treatment (as in how I was treated); and that was very well indeed. Let me set up the story by saying I'm a skeptical old fart. I come from a long line of skeptics that didn't believe in all these over the counter nostrums, herbs, berries and twigs . . . until several of them actually worked for me and my skepticism took a major hit. My knees are swollen, painful, and stiff and the doctors at OrthoCarolina agree with my scientific self-diagnosis -- my knees are swollen, painful, and stiff. They can't fix them, but they'll help me use up my Medicare. So nice of them! Meanwhile it's becoming very difficult to get out of a chair. Dr. Dooley has a downloadable medical history form to complete at home, and then took well over an hour going over it with me on the first visit. On the second visit she had a packet ready with specific recommendations and went to great lengths to make sure I understood the reasoning behind each recommendation. Now you're up to date. --- I was treated professionally and well. There is a back door with only three steps. They'll open it for you if you let them know the paving stones and front steps to be a chore. Stay tuned.

I went to Dr. Melonni Dooley to get my health in check before a major surgery since anaesthesia is so terrible for you. Plus I had done some organic cleanses before and it totally changes your life when your digestive health is in check - you sleep better, less stress, no major stomach pain, no blood sugar hangry or queasy spells. So Dr. Dooley took me under her care in a very, well, caring way. We even did acupuncture, and hydrotherapy as well. I got the right supplements, fish oil, probiotics, etc. and was well on my way. I know Dr Dooley also treats women's health issues (like hormonal stuff) and degenerative neuro stuff, so when my dad's Alzheimers kicks in I am definitely bringing him here! Being self-employed, I have a super high deductible so I might as well seek out the care that I want and is easy in/out without having to wait for a friggin hour for the doctor to come in and be processed by 4 different departments in a visit. Well worth the money in my view for those of us with busy schedules. One more note- I don't remember the chiropractor's name, but one day I was having a stress induced TMJ attack and she fixed it in 3 minutes flat and it hasn't come back. Amazing! My only complaint is that her current location at Art of Living Center in Dilworth has a precarious pathway from the back parking lot off Dilworth Road East to the front tall steps (difficult with crutches.)

She is a true holistic practitioner-- mind, body, spirit. This is an experience unlike any other... She uses kinesiology to test the body for weaknesses. She then prescribes any array of herbal supplements, and other unconventional treatments. Sometimes it feels a little voo-doo-ish, but conventional doctors are just "practicing" medicine and dispensing potent drugs with known side effects... both seem scary to me, but the natural approach seems less so. And, honestly, I showed up barely able to function from tiredness and fatigue, beaten up from medical procedures and under the care of an oncologist (for a noncancerous condition). She really restored my energy. I credit Dr. Eap for restoring my health back to a place of wellness. --It is expensive and not covered by insurance-- --I eventually had to stop going, the supplements were getting to be too many for me to keep up with-- --I will definitely go again, when my pocketbook and time can manage it--

I switched from Atrium to Novant having spoken to several friends that had great experiences with Novant. An appointment was set at this facility for an annual physical. The appointment we as to be expected, patient history, family history, blood work. Now comes the issues. My test results came back. A "scheduler" call to schedule a follow up appointment. I asked why I need an appointment as I have yet to see my test results on the portal. I also stated that as an analytical person, I would like to have the results posted so I could see what issues existed and do my research to be able to ask intelligent questions. She said she was not able to do that. Ok low level employee, I understand as I do not allow my employees to release information either. Then I get a phone call from, Suzette Schlafly, the office manager. She informs me yet again that I need ro schedule an appointment. I again told her I would not schedule an appointment until I had the opportunity to review my test results and if necessary could the PA Samantha call me. It is at this point the conversation took a turn that I was not expecting. Suzette said that the PA does not have time to call me and that is not her job. Then she told me that I needed the appointment so they COULD TELL ME what my treatment plan WOULD be. She also talked down to me in a manner that inferred I was not intelligent enough to advocate for my own Healthcare. I was extremely frustrated. I told her that it was "my body, my blood and my choice" and she no no right to hold my test results hostage. I also told her that if I needed to set an appointment to get my test results the appointment would not be pleasant and they would regret the appointment if this was how they were going to unprofessionally conduct themselves. I called back in 2 days hoping someone in authority had understood that keeping a patient's personal test results and then talking down to the patient was not an acceptable approach. I called Suzette and asked if my results had been released to the portal. She stated they were going to release them onto the portal. They were never released them. I went earlier the next week and moved to another practice that have requested my test results and I have accordingly scheduled an appointment to discuss the results. If the office manager lacks the communication skills to speak to patients in a manner that is not; arrogant, demeaning and belittling she does not need to be in that position. She is obviously nothing but a mouth piece for the practice. As such, this reflects poorly on the doctors at this facility as this level of arrogance, belittling and manipulation either comes from the doctors, as this is their attitude or they do not know how to manage their staff. Either way this culture showing such a disdain and lack of respect for the patient and indicates you are but a number they need to process. I have never had a doctor's office believe they are so omnipotent and you the patient are so stupid that you are not allowed to see your test results from your own body. THIS HAS BEEN UNEQUIVOCALLY THE WORST experience in Healthcare and with a doctors office in my life. It ranks highly as the worse experience from a customer service perspective. I HAVE HONESTLY HAD FAR SUPERIOR EXPERIENCES FROM THE VETERINARIAN THAT TAKES CARE OF MY DOGS. The response below proves my point !!!!! This person has the very same culture as the others in the office. A professional office would have reached out and worked through a solution. No, you are not a person and they aren't professional. You're too uninformed, too uneducated and not intelligent enough to deserve their attention unless you comply. See how their response goes. Demeaning: how I do not understand the medical industry and corresponding federal guidelines. How they view facts of their practice as threatening. How can a factual and articulate review be threatening? Note also, if I did not bend a knee to their pressure and manipulation I was avoiding medical services. Notice how immature and unprofessional by listing medical conditions ? This exemplifies every issue referenced above; intimidation, manipulation, unprofessionalism, arrogance, threatening and contolling. Again, their response proves the arrogant, demeaning and ridiculing nature of the culture in this office. NEW PATIENTS, make your own decision about the care you deserve and the provider you choose. Know that as a fact, the above was precisely what I experienced. The below response PROVES every one of my points precisely. Amazingly, the new office that I have chosen, released my results and I went to the appointment. At no point, as inferred below, did I want to avoid nor delay a physicians consult. I simply desired to have an opportunity to understand my test results.. My body, my blood, my choice.

In fact, of the many doctors I have to see Dr Kanelos by far gives the most time and through explanations. I have looked over all of the reviews here and it is very revealing that there are large percentage of 5 stars and an offsetting amount of 1 stars. Ironically, all of the 1 star reviews had to do with money they had pay or lack of professional care. It's routinely receive follow up callsfromLIsa to see how I am doing after they notice I have went to see another doctor (specialist) for a condition I am being treated for. It's typical for people to leave reviews that feel they have been overlooked or underserved. The one star reviews have complained about 2 things: 1) a sum that they owe the. practice because their insurance didn't cover the tests the doctor or the PA ordered for the patient 2) a long wait 3) rude front office staff. As to number 1 if you expect god care then their are some things that the doc may order that will have to be paid out of pocket. 2) The same people that complain ed about having to wait beyond their appointment time are the same people that said that the doctor didn't spend enough time with them. This is ridiculous. In my 25 years of seeing doctor Kanelos there were many times that I was seen later then my doctors appointment. However this is the same with every doctor. The good ones give the patient the time they need which often results in others having to sometimes wait beyond their appointment time. Finally, I have never received anything but courteous service from the employees on Dr Kanelos staff.
