I started LifeWorks about 6 months ago primarily for an escalating PSA (cancer) but also bloating & fatigue. The people are great! I've lost 20 pounds, no bloating, energy back and my most recent PSA dropped. Money well spent! read more

Do yourself a favor and stay far from this place. My husband (who passed away earlier this year) went to Life Works early last year for alternative treatment to cancer. He had received similar care at another place in Arizona that was absolutely incredible and added years to his life (Sedona Wellness Retreat). But since we lived in Florida, this was a good option for him at the time. Every day that he was there, he felt awful and I questioned their practices. He wanted to stick with the program and he believed that they could help. This is when everything fell apart. The first thing that went wrong was when one of the nurses pulled his port too quickly and injured the site. After this happened, cancer started to grow in that area and created a huge lump on his chest. It was not only uncomfortable, but also embarrassing for him. The second horrible thing that happened was when he was injected with an immunotherapy shot incorrectly, and it injured his arm to the point of losing complete mobility and being in level 10 pain. My husband did the program for about two months and then we went on a trip out of the country. Literally weeks after leaving Lifeworks his cancer came back with a vengeance. It had spread all over his body to his brain and spine and he never recovered after that. Not only did he come out of life works much worse after spending almost 100k but he also had that enormous lump on his chest that continued to bother him, and was also left with horrible swelling and pain in his arm without being able to use it until his last day of life. Life works has denied all responsibility and I'm sure they will respond on this post that they were not responsible at all but I know what happened and my husband knows what happened and this is a warning to not trust this place, not trust their nurses or their doctors and also know that if something goes wrong, they will not take responsibility. read more

LifeWorks Wellness Center - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

After supporting a family member use these services. They are exactly as stated, a life WELLNESS center. Maintain wellness. Maintaining WELLNESS. Not after you get sick and is seeking cure. But they sure don't tell you that, while taking your money. read more

Got a call from one of the representatives today. I literally had the most basic question about their services. What do your treatments cost? Note: i didnt ask what is my treatment going to cost? What do your treatments cost. Can you send me a price list? 15 minutes we had a discussion arguing She couldnt answer She wouldnt answer If I go to the clinic, and receive 20 treatments, they obviously are going to be able to bill me at the end of the week right? Then why can't they tell me how they bill? What do you charge for hbot? EBOO? IVs? Obviously, you know. Can you imagine flying to Florida to be seen by a Clinic that won't disclose their upfront costs? Making a commitment to flights, and time, only to find out they Charged you twice as much for the same treatments as other health clinics? Why would you frustrate People who struggle the most??? read more

Just the introductory contacts of my husband (the patient) by phone and the pricing issues (no price lists on the website) were bad enough; then there is the odd website, which had quirks when you made the effort to peruse each information box that laid bare a deliberately poor site. It was not especially user-friendly. Or perhaps it was the lack of substantive information that was striking. This is atypical of medical sites. I found it laughable that the cases they said had their best results were for the treatment of Lyme disease and allergies. The major point of contention is that they are not covered by my insurer, which is arguably the largest insurer in the USA. That is a huge red flag! read more

Complete and total scam. Please be aware and stay away. If you have any serious medical conditions, this place will only prey on you and take your money - offering zero real help. After their high pressure sales tactics, and your payment, they will treat you like another dollar in their pocket and avoid any concerns you have. Its all about money for them. Keep that in mind and go somewhere that will care about your situation and help. Feel free to contact me for more specific details. read more

The staff at Lifeworks is superiorly knowledgeable and trustworthy. They have gone above and beyond our expectations in identifying and addressing the underlying causes of sickness in the body. My only regret is that we live eight hours away, but unless and until an equally qualified practice closer to home becomes available, we are patients for life--now, to gain true healing, and in the future, to maintain optimal health for the rest of our lives! read more

It is very difficult to be a patient here. Your initial visit ends with them handing you a binder with a "wellness plan" that includes everything they sell and costs over $10K. If you are going in with a specific need in mind, they try and close you on needing to do everything. I will say that Dr G was lovely and she was understanding of my needs, but she is no longer seeing patients...probably because she cared more about the patient than the process or profitability. Lab work that is conducted by them costs three times what you can get on the outside. They are no longer accepting lab work from the outside. I would have been more than happy to have them do the labs but as an informed person, shopping around is a requirement. Go anywhere else if you want your provider to care about you and your needs, not their bottom line. read more

I've been suffering with Chronic Lymes since 2007,by far the first time I have hope !

I am an existing patient at Lifeworks, they are amazing. On my last visit Shara and Danny helped me tremendously. Danny went above and beyond to help me, she made my day and is an extraordinary employee. read more

The doctor and the medical staff here are fantastic. I came for treatment of physical issues that had not resolved elsewhere through traditional means and had an excellent experience. I appreciated the heavy focus on testing, including looking into areas other doctors had missed, and the natural approach to therapy. I am in the best health of my adult life, and am now focused on preventive care to continue to boost my immune system and overall health. Highly recommended! read more

I met with Dr. Minkoff before getting my prostate removed. During his exam, he detected that I had an infection in my mouth. He sent me to a "natural dentist" who, after his own tests, informed me that I had infections in my root canal teeth. The dentist advised me to get the teeth pulled. When I got the teeth pulled, one was so badly decayed that it crumbled. The other 3 were in lesser states of decay. I consider that this infection was life threatening as people can die from oral and other infections. At best, I would have had an undetected infection taxing my immune system. I am very glad Dr. Minkoff called my attention to this. I am sure most doctors would have never looked for or caught this issue. read more

When I took my blood test to Dr. Iyer, she recognized an ailment I did not realize I had, and it needed urgent care. Within a couple hours, I was in the emergency room at Morton Plant Hospital (outstanding hospital). I truly believe Dr. Iyer saved my life. She has called several times to follow up, and I don't have the words (or the space here) to express my gratitude for the OUTSTANDING care she gave me. Dr. Iyer is truly a saint, and Dr. Minkoff's LifeWorks Wellness Center is the only place to go for care you can't get anywhere else. read more

I am looking at all the reviews and can't believe some of the accusations. This doctor saved my life! After 8 years of struggling w an unknown illness, 4 ER visits, countless doctors and blood works, he was the only doctor who actually looked at my blood under a microscope. I had Lyme spirochetes floating around. I did 3 month of intensive treatments and feeling much better. Dr. Minkoff also corrected my hormones. The office is very clean, and everyone is very helpful. I've heard so many success stories from other patients. I am an RN, so I know a little about healthcare; that why I think this doctor is absolutely outstanding. read more

I was told about this office due to complications (inflammation in the gut etc.,) after 2 surgeries from a tooth extraction. I was told I had to pay $349.00 before the appointment. I did that. I went to the appointment, had vitals taken and spoke with the CRNP Karima for about an hour, she did a kinesiology test where she had her nurse come in and hold my arm while she worked a diagnostic tool. She also took a prick of blood to test my cells. I was told that I had inflammation. The CRNP stated "let me be sure that you get my email." I was not provided her email. I was then sent into the "client service office" and was given a treatment plan binder and then told if I pay $10,552.67 that day that I can get a $721.67 discount. As a Registered Nurse, I recognized quickly that these prices were on the very HIGH side. I questioned how they could possibly charge you before doing labs to be able to see the results first and then assess from there to make a treatment plan. I politely declined and stated that I needed to do some research. I went home and did the research on the labs and the IV's/supplements that were ordered in the plan. It took some time. The outcome was that I was able to get the labs for around $1000 versus Lifeworks price of $4371. Two examples: GI Panel with Calprotectin - Lifework's cost $740; I purchased for $90. G6PD level lab - Lifeworks cost $175, I purchased for $38. I was able to buy the supplements for less than half the price of Lifeworks online. I was able to find another integrative holistic facility that had the same IV treatments and more for a very reasonable cost and no upfront fees. I know doing this research is not for everybody especially with a life threatening illness but I highly encourage it. You can get on a computer and find several lab companies that will help guide you to find the exact test and price or you can find a patient advocate look into them. While in the "client services office" prior to leaving, I was promised they provided great communication with any questions, concerns and was given the phone number and email. I did try calling but could never get the person on the phone to talk. When I emailed, I got very short answers and was told that I could not speak with the nurse until I committed financially to the program. I was told to contact the clinic manager who makes these rules in which I did. The manager was very condescending and did not have the best interest of patient safety or concern. My goal in sharing this review is to help others. Please do your homework and be very careful. read more

Despite Living right outside of Boston, where the "best" hospitals are, I suffered for years from a mysterious chronic illness that no specialist could help me identify or resolve symptoms of. Finally, after going septic last year and fighting with the doctors for proper treatment, I decided to search for real help and landed in Dr.Minkoff's office. Dr. Minkoff did more for me in 3 months than a team of specialists in Boston could do for me in 3 years. It was a long committed process and I had to do some work alongside Dr. Minkoff s prescribed treatments. Here I am, 6 months later, feeling better than ever! In my experience, Dr Minkoff was upfront and honest. He never claimed it would be an easy path. He told me the goal was to keep my illness and symptoms in remission, and he taught me how to do just that, so I could maintain my health on my own, for the long haul. Sure, it did cost me, however I was getting intensive treatment that ultimately changed the course of my life, for the better. In my opinion, I got what I paid for- how do you put a price tag on health and happiness? I had done my research and went into this with my eyes wide open. Lifeworks Wellness Center may not be the right place for everyone-especially those who are looking for a quick, inexpensive fix. For me, and many other patients I was there with, Life Works Wellness Center was exactly what we were looking for and needed . My family and I will be eternally grateful to Dr Minkoff, his staff, and the care I received while at Lifeworks Wellness Center. I have been given a second chance at living healthy, active & fulfilling life.- Lia Lawler read more

On Friday October 6th 2023, my husband and l accompanied our son Sebastian Scalera to his intake appointment at your clinic with Dr.G. The experience, to even get on the schedule, was less than pleasant and not conventional in my view. We live 1hr 15 mins away, our form of payment wasn't going through on their end, l had called my CC company a couple times and they said all was well with them, my husband had to drive all the way there on Thursday to make sure they got the full required payment $500 otherwise the appointment would be canceled. Most reasonable practices would require a deposit down of $100-$150 in case of a cancellation, not full payment, this policy looked untrustworthy to me. We arrived on time for the 12:45pm, that's when they asked to be there. Waited about 30 mins to see Dr. G, her office was a very uncomfortable, unprofessional looking boiler room. It was so unbelievably hot, l had to step out about 1hr 20mins into the appointment because l felt like passing out. She apologized a few times, but the situation was not made better by any means. The practice advertises itself as a functional medicine clinic amongst many other approaches. However after our disappointing experience and being told Dr. G and your main providers were functional medicine MDs, l looked them up on the IFM website and they are not on there. That seems as a deceiving tactic to get people in the door at $500. The information we gathered/received at the visit was not worth that amount.The offered treatment prices are astonishing for things that aren't scientifically proven to work. The other modalities such, HBOT, lV drips etc can be found at other places for much less than what they charge. There is in my humble opinion, no need to pay those prices. Our trip there was a waste of our time, money and energy with how hot and uncomfortable we were in that tiny crowded space Dr G has. She's not a specialist, she's a family practitioner. I have asked for a full refund to credit card account $500. We work very hard for our livelihood and feel we were duped. The staff could not even spell our son's name, we corrected them many times. They sent a card in the mail with the wrong name again, it shows how much they don't care for the human being. I left several messages soon after the appointment, waited on hold for 8 mins then the receptionist, she asked why l was calling, said the office manager Tamora was not answering her page. I wrote emails as well. No response to this day. Be aware of their tactics. They prey on people by making untrue statements, will gladly take your money without any integrity. read more

I had an initial visit back in the beginning of september because I saw they had an alternative to statins for cholesterol. I was told I had parasites and candida. I was presented with a $17000 treatment plan. I said i could not do that but i would like to proceed to at least address the parasite issue. I was given a prescription for labwork to be done at quest, and I payed for a stool test that was to be mailed to me. I got bloodwork done and had to call the following week about the stool test. I was told it was lost in the mail, they would ship out another at no additional cost to me. In order to get these labs done, I had to first pay for a $300 lab review. It is now NOVEMBER. I have tried multiple times to schedule a lab review and have been handed off to multiple people, none of which knew what was going on with my case. I wrote an email requesting the stool results and a refund of my lab review appt. I received one call from tamera the office manager, I have called her and left voicemails 4 times over the last couple of weeks, I have yet to hear back. I have a friend who received treatment here in the past and had nothing but good things to say. I am a nurse, who has referred many patients here based on her experience, I will not continue to do so read more

The worst. Lots of good info online. No real health CARE at their clinic. They could care less. Stressful. Disrespectful. Money driven factory pushing people through. No lasting results. No real oversight or delivery of instructions. Everything is automated. Often you find the instructions in the portal that no one even informed you about pertaining to meds. Horrible. If you are a minute late for a treatment you forfiet it. Yet, the clinicians are often late or make mistakes about appointments. As a result, you arre stressed. To heal you need to be relaxed. There is nothing encouraging relaxation & parasympathetic system being kicked in....necessary to heal. Also, they have it set up so when they ask you to review them it automates 5 stars. It is such a racket. Disrespectful in every way. I spent $40K & am worse than when I arrived. after 8 weeks they wanted me to stay....A complete money pit. Catering to the super wealthy who are desperately sick. Then simply take your money. read more

Becareful spending money at this doctor I went there for years and never got better. Spent thousands of dollars and they never got to my root cause. The doctors and nurses work on a sales scale pay that means depends on how much you spend on treatments depends on how much they get paid . The office manager will nit send my blood work to 4 doctors that have requested she is a money bags and it's over 1.00 keep that in mind. Many people went here and spent thousands and did nit get better. So I left and went to dr. Springer at spectrum wellness in tampa and finally got better at a affordable price. BTW to much vit c creats iron in the cell and when they treat you with ozone that turns to oxygen then hits the cell and creates rust and cases many problems. Beware of this money trap . And if they can't get blood while doing the expensive treatments they will make you pay for the treatment any ways smh they really care about you or do they care about money read more

Terrific. Find out what really ails you. They treat a lot of difficult to help medical conditions. Some of these are chronic fatigue, interstitial cystitis, Lyme disease and cancer. read more

I had suffered with a painful autoimmune rash on my left leg for 3 years before I saw dr. Minkoff. He has done a great job healing my body overall with focus on treating my leg. I would definitely recommend this clinic for detoxification and treatment of autoimmune problems. read more

WOW!!!! If you're thinking about going here, DO SO. Doctor Minkoff is a psychical genius. There is so much that regular doctors don't know or understand that he DOES. If you have asthma or allergies, this is the man to see. 100% worth it. read more

Beware Scam Alert. I spent $500.00 to meet with a doctor. Since I have been dealing with serious digestion issues I was desperate for answers. The doctor used a device that is NOT medically approved or recognized for diagnosing diseases however using fear tactics he proceeded to diagnose me with multiple serious life threatening diseases followed by a high pressure sales pitch for over $14,000.00 in drips and their vitamins. Since then I went to a legitimate doctor and found that I do NOT have any of the diseases that this Clinic diagnosed me with. My doctor literally told me this should be a crime. This is a fear based clinic preying on desperate people and I caution you to use your common sense and see a legitimate doctor. read more

I came to LifeWorks Wellness Center as a last resort after having been to many medical doctors and chiropractors, etc. I had done traditional medicine and holistic approaches but I wasn't getting better. I spent most of my day in bed (about 16 hours) in pain even though I was young. Over 15 years of my life I had been in pain, searching for answers and mis diagnosed, being told my pain was either in my head or I had Fibromyalgia or other general diagnosis. This has affected me and my family to no end. Because of how comprehensive and through Dr, Minkoff is in his medical tests and diagnosis I am getting my life back. It was found that over 50% of my spinal cord was being crushed by an injury in my neck and I would have been paralyzed had this not been operated on. I ended up getting surgery on my neck and I am doing much better. Other medical issues came up from the testing I did and I have been working on a program tailored to me and have been steadily improving physically. As far as I am concerned the staff and doctors at LifeWorks Medical Center are angels!!! I cannot thank them enough for the care and guided treatments and for Dr, Minkoff giving me my life back. It is so hard to believe how much I have gone through and to finally have answers and be on the up and up, is an absolute miracle! read more

Ohhhh my goodness, Dr. Minkoff and his lovely staff are in a league all their own. This place is outta this world!!! The care, plan, direction and information we have been given here is so far beyond our expectations. Our minds are blown big time! Let your healing begin...If you are looking for the root of your issues THIS IS THE PLACE to be! You are worthy of every single dollar you spend here. Because without our health...we are bankrupt. JUST DO IT! Much love and mad respect for what you all do at Lifeworks Wellness Center for others! God bless you all! read more

It took me some time to write a review as normally i dont do that. I went to see this clinic back in august of 2022. After seeing Karina Redonnan i was to take a lot of tests for about $15k which i did. I had a very bad panic attacks and was looking for any solution. Then they got me on some vitamin ivs and some other stuff which i guess was ok. The problem i had was that nobody really cared about anything there. Trying to talk to somene there about your issue was like trying to talk to a pope. I send email to Karina once asking for some advise no replay. When i was doing treatments i saw her in the hollway and asked if she saw my email. For that she looked at me and said she receives 100 emails a day! I didnt get any help for my issue at the end i got bunch of pills to take and that was it. Oh but if you owe them money (they got some system issues with me) they would call you everyday. I had to go down there and talk to Tamora and finally she was able to fix the money issue. Also, just be carful if they can't find a vein (they tried in my 2 arms) they will charge you for that IV which i think is not right. I think they do help some people but i didn't really feel for the money i am spending i received the care i needed. So to summaries I only talked once to Karina personally and second time on the phone. I wouldn't recommend her maybe if i had someone different i would have a different opinion. read more

With the medical system bing as mucked up as it is, finding a 'good' primary doctor who is NOT the typical 'pill-pusher' and is on the same page as those who wish to follow a mostly homeopathic approach, is almost impossible. When I contacted this clinic, my initial impression was that I had reached a used car lot by the way they answered the phone. I was placed on hold for a new patient 'specialist' who I had hoped would be able to answer all my question. However, after only a few minutes, it was clear that she only wanted to answer the questions that were favorable to their business. I asked 4 times what kind of doctor the main person is and never received a definite reply. I did, however, receive 4 evasive answers. When I asked what types of insurance they accept, I did receive an immediate answer of NO INSURANCE at all. That was the end of the conversation. read more

Please read all of the fine print before visiting or signing anything. Nursing staff are very kind and encouraging. That's what the 1 star is for. Read all information in the disclaimer section. Talk to your family about what that could mean for them and you if the treatment does not have the outcomes you hoped for. Make sure you have the support of a family doctor or at least someone else's counsel because you choose when treatment ends. You may need another perspective. read more

I've been seeing Nurse Practitioner Sue for over 5 years for all my women's health needs. She is very caring and gentle. I've been to other clinics where I felt so nervous and uncomfortable when it came to the yearly exam. Sue truly cares about her patients and I'm grateful to have found LifeWorks Wellness Center. I've learnt a lot about how to treat the body naturally with supplements and havent had a cold in over 5 years!!! Highly recommend you call LifeWorks for all your healthcare needs. read more

I received an allergy treatment as I have had a terrible allergy reaction for years every time I visited family in Tennessee. After the allergy treatment when I went back home to Tennessee the difference was incredible!! I could not believe it. I didn't have to take my allergy medication. I found the effectiveness of this treatment at LifeWorks Wellness Center to be simply amazing. read more

Brought my daughter to Lifeworks Wellness Center after years of her declining health and after talking to friends that have completed Dr. Minkoff's program with success. The staff at Lifeworks were amazing and I feel that they have given my daughter her life back. Its a great feeling to have my daughter healthy again after 5 years. I definitely recommend this center and Dr. Minkoff to anyone suffering from a chronic illness. read more

Lifeworks Wellness Center has been a wonderful experience for us! The staff is phenomenal. EVERYone shows genuine care for not only the patients but the caregivers as well. Dr. Minkoff is unlike any doctor we have ever encountered. His expertise and experience integrate the best of the medical with the best of the alternative fields, providing a comprehensive holistic approach to healing and wellness. He and his staff take the time needed first to listen, and then, combined with testing, determine the best-individualized approach for treatment. They also pay careful attention to what progress is being made and make changes if needed to ensure optimal results. We highly recommend Lifeworks to anyone seeking answers for complex diagnoses and treatments to simple preventative care. We have met people from around the world who are finding Lifeworks a much welcome "adventure" on their journey toward health and true "WELL-BEING." Sharron Oyer and Brenda Judah read more

Overall, I had a great experience at Lifeworks. I'll forever be grateful and appreciative of Dr. Minkoff and his dedicated staff to helping me regain my health back. Fighting Lyme disease is a difficult task but this place made it possible and gives me even more hope for my future. The staff are encouraging and friendly. We laughed many times. Dr. Minkoff is extremely professional, experienced, and brilliant. I just loved listening to him. He was spot on in many ways! I did have some scheduling issues at times but that can be expected due to the large amount of patients they are treating! I'll always recommend this place! Great job! read more

Meeting with the doctor was only 45 minutes I was told 3 hours and looks like a lot of people on here and reviews are told the same thing very expensive process I would say only a millionaire can pretty much do this anyone that wants to throw away their money on the supplements and such I guess it's for them. I am going to heal myself and stay away from sugar and wheat for a couple of weeks or months whatever it takes and do this absolutely for free because my "body is My Vissel, Leader and Healer" I thought it was pretty cool how Dr. Springer started showing me why have the symptoms but then the list of things that I needed to do for 2 to 3 weeks for over $2000 was totally ridiculous so I do not recommend going here and less you have a big wallet to go with it! They don't take insurance either. What's really funny is they have a video showing you while you wait the our company does so much with people that can't afford this treatment and we are a easy cost! ONE MONTH $2400+ plus CONSULTATIONS (not included) ARE NOT A SMALL EXPENSE!!! One thing I did like is there a muscle test where you reach your arm up any presses against to see how strong your arm is and puts different things on your body to see what you react to? read more

Was there for 3 hours, did not address the issue we went in for. Wheel chair access not very accessible. With the placement of the ramp and cars blocking it,I was lucky that my patient was able to hold rail and walk a little to get in the door. Will NOT go back read more

They are the best!! I have been all over the country looking for help for Lyme. They gave me my life back! They are incredible! read more

Obtain your bloodwork elsewhere as it's always a 45 min wait. Love their hormone treatment yet the wait is ridiculous!

Awesome place finally healing me after years of getting no where! Worth the cost! Stick with it and follow doctor's plan you'll be great!

No any improvement after treatment although liked the doctor and nurses and the most frustrating experience with the management of the center - big mistake to agree make the payment upfront - would never get your money back for the services you didn't receive ! They over calculate - patients pay. read more
