This pertains only to Dr. Laboo. Our experience with the resist of the staff have been great. The…read moreDard Side Of Addiction or The Dark Side Of Everything This started as a review for our former doctor who unceremonisly removed us from her patient list. No reason that we can discern beyond a few statments made to me about my pain medicine that I have been taking for two years after unsuccessful full hip repacement & subsequent unsuccessful spinal decompression surgery. My wife, who was also her patient was dismissed (we quess) because she has been taking various pain medication for approximately eight years because of her chronic regional pain syndrome. She also has had an unsuccessful herniated disk spinal surgery approximately eight years ago. We are both seventy three years old & also suffer from several less serious but common maladies that accompany our age. Twice our former doctor advised me "these drugs are not for fun, they're for pain." Neither my wife or myself have ever abused our pain medication. Never have we asked for more pain medication. Never have used my pain medication for "fun." Neither has my wife. Our medical & prescription records are easlily accessed by our medical team. We take no illegal drugs. I may be the culprit that caused our former doctor to drop us. The two times she remarked about me "having fun" with my medications I didn't respond. She had previously referred us to a pain clinic which were under another the care of nurse practitioner who handled our pain prescriptions so I assumed that since she was free from that burden, there was no further reason to talk about it. We have been under this PCP's care for about 2 years & had no issues. Our visits were mostly jovial with some serious levity. Aha. Maybe that's it. Perhaps she thought that that levity meant we were not serious about our recovery. Several monther ago in a phone conversation I had said in jest, "this is your pain in the ass elderly couple." And she said, and I'm paraphrasing -- "you're not even close to my pain in the ass patients." And as I said, our visits, although sometimes broaching serious medical issues tended to be a bit positive & upbeat. Once, she ask if I was doing my physical therapy & I said yes, "Getting in & out of my car. Opening packages. Getting up off the sofa, etc.. " It was meant as a joke but . . . I do have respect for physical therapy -- our daughter & daughter-in-law own a physical therapy fitness center. A bit of my history which I think my be relevant to this issue. I was a hippy in the 60's & I was in many rock & roll bands -- and it WAS a "sex drugs & rock & roll" and I lived it. I was married to my first wife &. at 25 she became pregnant & our son was born in 1978. The moment the nurse handed him to me & I beheld an infant that I seemed, for lack of a better term -- a mini me. I saw that I had a chance to give this little guy a much better life than I had survived. My ex-wife, my son's mother was a party girl. We divorced when our son was about five, went thru a bitter custody battle which I lost. I was devastated. A few months later my ex-wife brought him over for a regular weeked visit & never came back to pick him up. So from age five, it was him & me. I quit drinking & drugs because I was afraid I might lose him. A few years later I got a job at a drug & alcohol/psych unit at a local hospital. I knew I needed treatment to stay straight but I couldn't take a month "vacation." So I came in the back way. So I was totally clean & sober for twelve years as I raised him. Then I met my current wife & she's been an angel. She was the mother he never had. More history. My father was a life long alcoholic & drank himself to death. My mother became an alcoholic later in life but died clean & sober. Unfortunately she was addicted to another drug, nicotine (she was a three pack a day smoker.) She was a two time breast cancer survivor but lung cancer got her in the end. My younger brother has been an addict for the last 40 years. As far as I know he is still alive. My youngest brother was an alcoholic/addict with several years sober (he was an administrator for a halfway house before he died of lung cancer). His son, my nephew died of an overdose shortly after his father died, and his sister, my niece committed suicide via overdose shortly after that. So I know the dark side of addiction. I know it all too well. So maybe I broach the subject of addition with some levity. I don't choose levity, I have to. It's either that or I cry. I wish my wife & I could have talked this issue over with our former doctor, but she's made it impossible to reach her. My hope is that maybe if my story gets out those of us with long-term chronic pain will get a bit more empathy.

For two whole weeks I kept calling and calling for my sons proscriptions and too get him the care he needs and every time all I got was excuses and them saying "they forgot to notify his doctor" you guys are supposed to specialize in helping children and yet all you fuckers do is bullshit and give fucked up excuses. We make appointments just too have them rescheduled by you guys, my son deserves the care and respect from professionals not fucked up staff like this!

Doc Sarah is a FIND. I won't knock traditional medicine -…read morebut I do know, in my experience, it can be limited to medicating the symptoms without really examining the causes, and can feel like a patchwork of specialty folks who don't always see the whole picture. At Hilo Natural, I've found a practitioner with both a breadth and depth of experience in treating the whole human. Doc Sarah combines comprehensive lab work, lifestyle factors, supplements, and has been able to help me make progress with some thyroid and lab issues (and also more physio-related issues foot and shoulder pain) with a combination of nutrient support, medication, and interventions like prolon therapy (really helpful for chronic plantar fasciitis.) Also, she's really, really dang smart - and a compassionate guide thru what has been a difficult entry into my 40s. The office is run as a tight ship - which I realize is unusual for an area in which 'business hours' are often a loose approximation and the general standard of responsiveness and timeliness is WELL below average. Basically, you get San Francisco Bay Area level care, follow-up, and appointment management here - so if you are prone to the generally lackadaisical island approach to things, this may not be a fit. For those accustomed to a 'laid back approach' (read: not respectful of time and about a decade behind in innovation) - this place will come as a bit of a jolt. As someone who values innovation, results, responsiveness- and respects my own time and that of other people - this clinic is perfect as both my go-to for integrative treatment and as my PC doc. These folks won't keep you waiting or offer anything but the latest in education, utmost in professionalism and of-the-moment treatment- so return the favor and be on time, do your homework, and get results.

She said the company stopped making the B12 with 5L, so now the only way to get them was biying them separate, which was double the cost. After calling the company ( seeking health) and been told they have never stopped making these 2 supplements in one formula, and that was actually their best seller, I called her office to return the supplements and get my money back. Her secretary hanged up on me when I said she lied to me, and Dr Strong kicked me out of the office by email in response of my request for a refund. Ah, and when I asked the secretary what the 5L part of the supplement was, she rudely answered "Im not a doctor " What kind of customer service is this??
