My depression got so bad that I would tell my husband and kids not to include me in their weekend plans anymore. And I live that way for many years (I'm only 34)....until I met McCall. My TSH levels were at a 19! No wonder why I was suicidal and tired 24/7. I tried to control my Bipolar symptoms for years without success. I tried medication and therapy but nothing seemed to help. I was stuck. Now, a year later on Armour medication, I look forward to the future. I make plans for the future. My kids look happy since I'm always around cooking their favorite foods and we even planted a vegetable garden that has some weird shaped cucumbers growing. And I'm happy my husband didn't divorce me lol, he stayed with me even in this crazy rollercoaster. I'm so thankful for McCall. She listened to me even at my lowest point. She offered help and hope and that is something that not every doctor gives you. She cared and I was able to trust her and her judgement. Life is still hard. Some days are not perfect but I just look back at my progress and I do Thank God for finding McCall. She's amazing!

Have your general doctors ignored your symptoms in favor of your "normal numbers"? Have they said…read moreit's all in your head or habits? Have they made it clear they aren't thyroid experts. Have I got the place for you. After starting McCall's program in 8/22, I'm finally a human. I sleep better. Feel better. Look better. Am better for having met her. The cost may seem high to some but I would have paid double for this life changing care. And I mean CARE in the real sense of the word. Ignoring the textbook standard numbers and caring about my individual state of being. Do the consultation. Invest in the program. You won't be sorry!

I was looking for some lip balm that my parents used and which I had taken from their apartment after they died to remember them by. I was running out and stopped by the pharmacy to see if they had anymore that I could buy since it helped me remember them during the grieving process. They didn't have any at the store saying they no longer carried that lip balm and offered me an alternative but when I told them I was looking for that particular one since it reminded me of my departed parents, several staff asked me to wait and they went into their warehouse to see if they could find me any remainders. Luckily they found a few and wouldn't take any compensation for them. You are lucky to have a store like that in Austin with such compassionate staff.

The good news is they have knowledgeable people there to help answer my questions. Thanks for taking care of the community, Alive and Well!

Let me start by saying that I've known some excellent doctors, and have had a couple of…read moreearth-shatteringly bad experiences as well. Dr. Julie Reardon has surpassed my wildest expectations of what a family physician CAN--and is willing--to do. I think that's in part because she is a phenomenal physician and person, and I suppose the Harvard education and work with Dr. Andrew Weil doesn't hurt. I'll add that all of the folks in her office are equally as competent and caring. If you are contemplating a visit to Dr. Reardon, it's because you haven't been feeling as well as you should--probably for quite some time. Your insurance-covered doctor has run some general tests that haven't shown anything all that extraordinary; and while you may greatly respect your PCP as I do, you realize that time and budget constraints limit the ability to which they can explore your issues. You may have been told that it's your impending menopause, or your weight, or that you perhaps should consider antidepressants. This is the state of medicine in our current era of managed care, and it's nobody's fault. Sometimes it just IS. Know that, if you can afford her services, "Dr. Julie" will leave no stone unturned in helping you find that road to recovery. She's not one of those "vanity doctors" who will hand you creams, diets, and vitamins to make you ageless and extra hot...although feeling better usually makes you look better! She's a serious, science-based physician with an uncanny ability to relate the typically unrelated, and see the "big picture" of your health situation. In our initial visit, she caught on to trending issues I'd never thought of before, including a potential genetic makeup that leaves me prone to certain problems with mood and energy level that are exacerbated by stress...and I've had a year of that! She ran a gamut of tests after explaining the purpose of each one, and uncovered a problem so critical it was a wonder I even had the energy to get out of bed in the morning. I am no less impressed with our follow-up discussions. She has referred to another provider for an area outside of her realm, and also recommended simple vitamin and supplement changes that will do me a world of good. At the same time, she's not that earth-crunchy guru that's going to mandate that that you live on purified air and chants...hers are moderate lifestyle changes for real people living in our everyday world. Dr. Julie doesn't take insurance, but that allows her to spend true quality time with the patients who sign on with her. I will say that, for the fees involved, I feel like it's been a very good choice for my healthcare dollars. I am finally getting some solid answers as to why I've felt HORRIBLE over just this last year, and I finally feel confident knowing someone's got my back while I take steps to get better. I think there are a lot of docs out there who dream of having a practice like Dr. Julie's--and she has made that dream a reality. When I think about how quickly Dr. Julie started "cracking the case", and all the co-pays and labs past that never quite addressed my issue, I realize that I have now SAVED time and money in the long run. What's more...I could have gotten REALLY sick were it not for Dr. Julie and her findings. She very well might have saved my future from being...well, not so bright. Thinking about calling for an appointment with Dr. Julie Reardon? I say go for it...you will NOT regret it, and you have everything to gain.

I've been seeing Melody Volz, NP since before she landed at Modern Thyroid Clinic. The clinic where…read moreI originally met her said she was a thyroid specialist and she really is. Although it does take time to get your thyroid balanced, Melody has stuck with me through different levels of healing and metabolic stresses. I've been hypo now for 35 years and started with Melody about three years ago. Most recently, Melody tried to get under why my hair was still falling out when my labs looked good except for ferritin stores. I have grappled with hair loss in years previous, but it would go away when my thyroid balanced and now it's not, so I was really stumped. Melody's remedy was to send me to an oncologist who does iron infusions. After two infusions, I was overtopped but eventually came down within normal range, which shows that I can hang onto iron now, meaning my ferritin anemia was not permanent. I have more energy now too, even with Covid everywhere. I prefer a doc who is less insulated from patients, one who allows email and telehealth meetings. Once you get set up where she is now, Melody is easy to access, quick to respond, and very much a real person after you get to know her. There's not a lot of ego here.

Health services in this country is such a sick money grab. So the doctors that take insurance are usually NOT holistic practitioners, but the ones that do TAKE insurance offer you prescription drugs. so sad for those who can't afford proper healthcare with and without insurance. I did not get treated at this based on their website and information . I am sure they have some fantastic staff members. But you can definitely enrich the main doctor by giving her $24,000 for the VIP services.

I don't know how long I would have been spiraling without her help. She not only helps target the root cause of your symptoms, but she's such a supportive ear in any season of life. She's incredibly understanding, encouraging, and honest. She's also treating my son for eczema and we've seen such an improvement. It's been pretty amazing to watch the changes in his skin overtime. I also had a cyst in my eye that doctors wanted to remove surgically. To avoid that terrifying thought, I went to Marianne and she gave me a remedy that not only shrunk the cyst within a week, but also helped get rid of some toxic thoughts that were circling in my head that I haven't had in a very long time which was also a sign of my eye symptom. I'm always in awe at the process of homeopathy and I wouldn't choose anyone else to take care of my family. If you're looking for a holistic way to care for your health, try Austin Naturopathic!
