I booked the visit a couple of weeks in advance, completed all required forms, and provided my insurance information. They also required full payment upfront, explaining it would be adjusted later to account for any copays or insurance coverage. When I arrived for the appointment, the receptionist immediately informed me that Eastern Roots was not in-network with United Healthcare and that I could instead submit an out-of-network claim. That was not an acceptable option, as out-of-network costs are significantly higher. It was clear the practice knew this in advance but failed to notify me until after I had driven over an hour to get there. When I requested a refund--since I was unwilling to proceed with a provider that misrepresented their insurance status--they refused, citing their 24-hour cancellation policy. However, I hadn't canceled the appointment; I arrived in good faith, expecting coverage. Only once I learned the true facts, which the clinic already knew, did I decline to continue. To make matters worse, the owner, Sarah Alemi, did not speak with me directly and instead sent an email referencing the cancellation policy. At this point, I have disputed the charge with my credit card company. I would strongly caution others to verify network participation and transparency before booking with this practice

I came for ketamine infusions for my PTSD and was really scared of the process as I'd never considered ketamine for mental illness before doing some research on it. I found Avesta on the Ketamine Clinics Directory, which noted that their listed providers were in good standing with them, so that seemed like a good place to start. The introduction was so gentle and not at all scary. The environment is also very relaxing and comfortable. It doesn't feel as clinical as other doctors' offices at all. You can really tell that Dr. E cares about her patients and what she does. If you live in the area and you're considering it, this is the place. Actually, even if you don't live in the area I think it would be worth it to travel here, honestly.

The anesthesia and pain management professionals compassionately treat mood disorders and chronic pain while offering wellness infusions to athletes and other individuals using intravenous vitamins. Avesta Ketamine and Wellness providers share extensive experience in the fields of anesthesiology and pain management. During their free consultations, they thoroughly assess each patient and their needs while making sure that ketamine infusions are the best next step in their care. The providers share a common goal of reducing pain, depression, and anxiety while improving overall wellness with a variety of options.  Ketamine infusions, once only used as an anesthetic and sedative option for surgeries and other medical procedures, have shown to benefit patients with fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They offer near-immediate benefits after an initial set of infusions and regular booster infusions thereafter.  Avesta Ketamine and Wellness also offers IV hydration and nutrient infusions, including Myers' cocktail. Additional immunity, pain relief, and anti-nausea add-ons are available so patients can customize their treatment according to their needs at the time...

I'd heard about it but never fully understood what it was, let alone believed in it. From the moment I made my first call I felt really appreciated as a client. Ramzi is wonderful. His calm and caring demeanor are unique. He asked me about my goals, what he might be able to help me with, and explained the overall process. No pressure, no pitch. He's a person who genuinely wants to help others around them. It's just who he is. He has a gift for helping people. He also has a great sense of humor. I went through a few sessions of hypnosis and was surprised at what happened. Everyone's goals and experience are different, as they should be, so I won't go into too many details. I will say this: I was genuinely surprised at the changes I saw. I saw changes that I highly doubted were possible, with or without hypnosis. It was a unique, positive experience that was very much worth the investment. Thank you Nova Hypnosis and Wellness!

My mom was really reluctant to go and is now glad she did! This treatment center blends time-honored East Asian medicine with modern medical approaches, offering a more holistic path to healing -- finding the root of the issue not just managing symptoms. Dr. Parker was a GEM! She gave us a tour of their herbal dispensary, where they blend specific herbs to support internal healing, treating the body both inside and out. She shared how certain factors contribute to my back fatigue before starting my treatment. The acupuncture itself was a 2-3 on the pain scale, since I am ticklish, I did jump a whole lot. Acupuncture focuses on specific points to help restore balance and activate the body's natural healing mechanisms--it's like a reset. The cupping felt like a 1 on the pain scale. incredibly relaxing from start to finish. Cupping replenished the cupped areas with healthier blood flow, stimulating healing at a cellular level. Despite being ticklish, I didn't find either treatment painful. My mom received the same treatment for her leg and said she felt fantastic afterward. The clinic offers 1:1 professional acupuncture or discounted student-led treatments, making it accessible for all. My back feels amazing and I've had the best sleep in a long time. Parking is plentiful as well!
