    Infuze MD - Is this what glutathione iv drip looks like?

    I am not clear why the same business has two Yelp profiles so I'm posting again: A family member of…read moremine was diagnosed with cancer, and while researching treatment options, I came across Infuze MD. After a brief call with an employee named Paolo, who spoke positively about the clinic, I shared the information with my relative. In hindsight, I realize that in my desperation, I may have overlooked warning signs. At the time, I did not realize Paolo is not a medical professional, even though he was the first person discussing treatment options. The clinic is owned and operated by Dr. Nilda Agnes Abellera, who is board-certified in PEDIATRICS but whose clinic advertises integrative medicine. My relative traveled from out of state to begin what was described as an "intensive" 20-day cancer program. According to her account, the first three days did not feel intensive. She reported that infusion rates appeared slowed, staff could not explain the scientific basis for some treatments, and the doctor missed a planned medication review. She also observed what she believed was dried blood on a chair and described an IV bag fully draining while the needle was in place, which worried her. On October 9, 2025, she said her care was terminated immediately after raising concerns, without timely written notice, referrals, or arrangements to ensure access to medical care until she could establish care elsewhere. Referrals were only provided after I contacted the clinic. This abrupt termination caused a delay of over a month in her treatment and worsened her PTSD symptoms. She also tried to obtain her medical records multiple ways. On October 10, she requested them in person but was denied. She also submitted a written request and used the clinic's online inquiry form. As of this writing--52 days later--she has not received her complete records. When I called the clinic, Paolo was tense and dismissive, and I could not speak directly with Dr. Abellera. Given the situation, I became concerned about whether proper procedures were followed and intended to file a complaint with the Medical Board of California. Additional observations and concerns (personal experience): Family-run structure: The clinic is owned by Dr. Abellera. Paolo appears to manage many aspects, and another family member may also work there. This raised questions about oversight and role clarity. Online reviews: Of 32 Google reviews, 5 were five-star without details. Only one mentioned "cancer," making it hard to evaluate patient experiences compared with other clinics with hundreds of detailed reviews. Difficulty communicating with the physician: My relative and I tried to speak directly with Dr. Abellera; she did not speak with me, and my relative felt the doctor was unwilling to address her concerns. This lack of communication was alarming given her serious diagnosis. Cost vs. expectations: The program cost approximately $1,800 per day. Based on my relative's experience, the services did not match the program description. Others may feel differently, but this was our impression. Social media promotion: Paolo participates in Facebook groups promoting the clinic without identifying himself as an employee, which seemed misleading. I have included a screenshot for reference. In more than a decade in healthcare, I have never witnessed a more concerning divergence from a physician's duty to do no harm: terminating care without notice, effectively leaving my relative without immediate, comparable care options while facing life-threatening cancer.

    Got in and out without much trouble. They did a basic review of my condition and made sure to talk…read moreabout things I should look out for. The assistant was helpful and made the process easier. It wasn't anything fancy but I felt like it was handled right.

    I didn't know it at the time, but I desperately needed a chiropractor for my baby when she was…read morefirst born. My daughter has always had quite the temperament and a fiery personality to boot, so if you combine that with general discomfort, possible reflux, and a dairy allergy, you get a confused and tired mom--cue me. I was struggling for 7 months, until I saw some suggestions to look for a chiropractor. I did some research but I was still a bit apprehensive, so I kept looking over and over for a decent chiropractor who specializes with children. I found Dr. Kate Wong and gave her a call, and the rest is history. First thing, how awesome is it that she does house calls? That's the first I've seen for a chiropractor. She was very patient and interactive with my daughter, who has a little bit of "stranger danger" instincts that made some of her appointments a tad difficult. But my daughter would surely but slowly settle into her appointments, and I just regret not being able to have them a lot more often. The few appointments we had really helped our daughter. Believe me, I would have loved to follow the treatment plan to the T, because those appointments really helped my daughter relax and not be so angry and stiff. I could literally feel the difference in holding her after the appointments. Dr. Kate Wong was very flexible and worked with our schedule. She also understood we couldn't do too much because of our budget. Dr. Kate Wong also responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had regarding my daughter and her health. I also appreciate the small, thoughtful gifts she sent to me, such as some organic nettle tea bags (and a recipe, which was delicious) and small samplings of natural tumeric bars for breastfeeding moms. She's also very knowledgeable on different holistic things, current events, and other referrals. Overall, she's a wonderful and thoughtful chiropractor. We've since moved out of the area, but I really wish she could service all over California!

    Dr. Kate is professional, caring and will go above and beyond for the health and wellness of her…read morepatients. She is very knowledgeable and provides high quality care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for chiropractic care. Highly recommended!

    I've been reading a lot about hypnotherapy after being turned on to it by one of the meditation…read morepodcasts I listen to. So I decided to search for someone local and test the waters. I was very skeptical so I originally went for just one session. I was immediately put at ease by James's calm demeanor when he greeted me so I quickly filled out my intake questionnaire and then it was time to start my first session. My experience with James was incredibly personalized, he asked some broad questions at first and really took the time to understand my challenges, and I ended up asking for his help with a number of other things in future sessions. We started that day with my overwhelming to-do list that seemed to grow each day. Then I closed my eyes and with his skilled guidance and soothing voice, I felt the stress and anxiety peel away. It wasn't like my daily meditations where my mind was always wandering to other topics but instead; I walked away from each session with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. I have found myself tackling my to do list with newfound enthusiasm and calmness. I have also been having alot of pain in my back after an injury. I had gone to physical therapy which had helped but it still acts up. James had explained something called The Emmet Technique which I saw him for 90 minutes and it opened up the blood floor to that area and hasn't bothered me since. My experience with James at JPHolistics has been amazing. His holistic approach to therapy, combined with his insightful guidance on personal and interpersonal matters, combined with the hypnotherapy has really been a huge help. I highly recommend James.
