I saw this doctor for ketamine about a year ago & had a phone consultation with him as well, but…read morewhen I came back after a hiatus he played some kind of weird extortion game which I'll explain. I made an appointment for ketamine & for other issues I wanted to talk about because I have to go much further normally to big cities and spend a few nights away from home, on hotels and such. I thought Id save myself a train/bus ride, hotels, eating out. So I arrive at his clinic in Arroyo grande which is an hour and a half drive, & I do the intake form, they take me back, I pee in a cup, & then I return to the waiting room & after 10 minutes the secretary comes out and says "oh Im so sorry but the doctor wants another $300" (in addition to the $200 Ive already paid) This is after I had talked to her about my LONG drive as small talk. Perhaps he thought he could extort me for more money or maybe he does the old bait & switch on other people who are suffering from depression/suicidal ideation/dysphoria/OCD/ADHD and a host of other problems I dont care to list publicly, but the list goes on Anyway Im already checked in, Ive paid $200 and now he demands an extra $300. The ostensible excuse was "oh, youre a new patient because its been a while" but thats clearly BS. When he came out of the office, he glared at me, and I dont really feel like this guy has much desire for helping people. It was a cold, blank stare. I think hes a very typical money-grubber with a vacuous gaze who is willing to send people who are struggling with very serious mental issues back out onto the street if they dont fork out the money. He thought I would cave because I drove so far, but he was wrong. I chose to suffer rather than play that game. This guy is the very opposite of the type who actually mean it when they take the hippocratic oath. I noticed this regarding the cold/ostentatious ambiance on my first couple sessions with him, but to avoid having to go to los angeles- and ironically in the hope of saving time & money- I was willing to overlook it. At some point, governments/communities are going to have to get serious and start screening people for the profession which attract psychopathic personalities or the callous racketeering & perpetual insidious corruption will remain exactly as it is & as its always been.

I have been overweight since I was about 5 years old, a combination of Asthma medicine and the…read morecondition itself limiting my exercise, I was always a chubby kid (and always made fun of by everyone for it.) I was over 200 pounds when I graduated high school. A few times I was able to drop some of that weight, only to gain it back again. A few years ago I started working with a trainer and lifting weights...that got me to my lowest weight ever as an adult, just in time for my wedding:) After the wedding I wanted to lose more and feel good about my body for the first time in my life. I thought running would be the perfect way to do that (all runners are skinny, right?) So I started running half marathons several times a year, and even trained and ran a full marathon. I got a little burned out on running, so I started doing triathlons...much more fun:) But, 3 years after I got married, my weight still fluctuated within 5 pounds of the day I got married! I couldn't believe all of the biking and running wasn't making any difference at all (except I was losing muscle I later found out). By the end of 2011 I had pretty much given up on ever being in better shape. I was working SO hard at working out and eating "clean" and it was making no difference. I figured I was just where my body wanted to be and I would need to learn to live with it. I had emailed Ruben on Sparkpeople.com a few times and followed his page and the amazing transformations that happened there and I wondered, hoped, he could do something for me. My husband was afraid for me to sign up with him because he knew how much was riding on success with Ruben. He was afraid I would become very depressed if this last effort did not yield any results...but I did it, and I was amazed at what I got. The food was better than I had ever eaten, and I could spend a couple of hours on Sunday cooking and bagging up every meal for the entire week and not have to think about it again! The workouts made me feel like I was cheating! Seriously, my workout times were half what they used to be...and so much less cardio...I have to admit I was a little scared...so much food, so little cardio... But the results have been amazing!!!!! In JUST 11 weeks (11 weeks that included Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and would normally have resulted in a 5-10 pound gain) my personal results have been: * 13.2 pounds-GONE * 6% BF-GONE * A plateau I have been trying to break for 3 years- BUSTED * Lowest weight EVER as an adult, ACHIEVED (Last time I was at this weight: I was 11 years old (I looked it up this morning!)) * Took 3 minutes off my 5K run time (this is huge for me!) * Increased my bike speed 2 mph! * I can see my muscles! * All of my clothes are too big. And best of all I have a whole new outlook on who I CAN be:-) And all while eating more and better food than I have ever eaten (seriously) I cannot wait to see what the next 3 months will bring:-) Added bonus...my family eats the healthy food I cook from Ruben's meal plan...that in itself is a miracle and a HUGE testimonial to how good it is! Ruben, thank you for sharing your God-given talent with others. I am so thankful I finally made the leap and signed up with seriously the best trainer EVER.

Every other physician I went to said that was absurd based on my labs.

I had to ask for more labs and turns out my testosterone was 300%.

It's heart breaking be suffering from someone else's negligence and breach of trust and they don't even care. They are just happy to have scammed $1500 out of a patient.
