Please, buyer, beware. I signed up for blood work and the three-month program. They billed my insurance company $4353 for blood work. This is routine blood work that is covered by insurance general blood work generally costs $200. I was led to believe that the $500 per month fee was for my blood work. They are not upfront about the cost of the program and the staff has turnover. When I tried to cancel they told me that I could not cancel my 3-month plan. The staff had tons of turnover and I was with a different provider each time repeating my needs. They are super nice on the phone and super friendly but this is not worth the price. I tried to get a refund without any luck. read more

Bad experience and overpriced. The staff was constantly changing and the new staff never knew you or your medical needs. The doctor was only present for the initial visit and she asked us to sign a confidentiality waiver if you saw her in public. The doctor was unfriendly and unresponsive if she was seen in the office walking by. My adolescent daughter was her patient at the time and she was placed on metformin and her main foods suggested to eat (for a child) was morning star brand foods. This program costs thousands and after the unresponsive behavior to say hello by the doctor, we discontinued the program and went to another dietitian's office. This office has since changed ownership but do your research before you sign and pay for anything. You will not get a refund. read more

Five star review for Cederquist Medical Wellness! I have been a patient since February and I've had a wonderful experience! As a career RN I can tell you that this office is one of the MOST responsive in the field. Calls are put through to staff directly, they assist immediately. Staff is warm, friendly, supportive and empowering! Not only that, Dr. Cederquist is spot on with her diagnosis and treatment protocols. Not quite to my goal however I'm down 25 lbs! Recommend without hesitation!! read more

Dr Cederquist is no longer a part of the practice. Just using her name. I was a patient years ago and found it very professional. This is a real scam. Selling memberships and doing labs that are not needed. Patient coordinator uninformed and rude. Looks like medical director is in Las Vegas, patient coordinator said there was no medical director. Charging $450 per medical visit with NP. Outrageous.. beware... read more

So let me share how my program went. I got my blood work, asked for a detailed billing so that I could submit it to my insurance or minimally my HSA for reimbursement. This never happened. Also my dietician quit and I have never heard from anyone after that. This program is a fraud, don't waste your hard earned money. read more

Dishonest regarding billing and charges. The nurse practitioner suddenly left the practice. I've been in Healthcare for 25 years and something just isn't right with this business practices! I am now looking for a new provider. read more

It's important to note they will not help you unless you sign up for their program. They do not mention this on the phone. They only mention the $180 first time visit and sending you for labs for a thorough check. Truly disappointed with the misrepresentation and total waste of my time. Go see Dr. Grunning in Fort Myers and skip the BS!!!!! read more

I began my journey towards better health at the end of January and am thrilled with my progress which has thus far included elimination of a statin from my daily life, nutritional education resulting in an overall healthier lifestyle and reasonable & steady weight loss. The entire staff have been unbelievably supportive and accessible. My only note would be that although I know she's involved in my file, I've never once personally met Dr Cederquist. Being an entrepreneur myself, my hands-on approach to my own business has left me questioning that approach. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with this great group of knowledgeable and supportive people until I reach my goals of complete health and wellness. read more

I was referred to Cederquist medical center by a Dr in order to lose weight for a hip replacement surgery. I've had great success in my 12 week agreement. I lost 30 lbs.. it's got to be be the best " normal " common sense plan with the support of a dietician and a PA , I managed to do this very easily. The bloodwork found I had a thyroid problem. The PA has straightened it out with the proper meds . The entire staff is awesome and very friendly and eager to answer your questions. I have a follow up with the hip surgeon and fingers crossed I'll be thin enough for the surgery. I might also add that I'm signing on for another 12 weeks to keep the process going! Big thank you to everyone at Cederquist! Five stars for sure! read more

do not go here....buyer beware! Expensive, mediocre results. All about the money. read more

I've never written a review - but this was the biggest rip off I have ever experienced. They will have you spend $300 for absolutely zero help or guidance, simply to have you visit and share your story and goals. Unless you then want to continue by spending a small fortune (thousands), this "investment" of the initial visit it pure robbery and will do nothing but make your wallet "slimmer". Very unethical. read more

Dr. Cederquist helped me lose 65lbs.

After trying every diet known to mankind my very supportive husband convinced me to give Dr. Cederquist a try. It's not an inexpensive undertaking and I can only speak from my experience but I only met with Dr. C for my initial evaluation. The extensive blood work determined I have a problem with my thyroid and was deficient in several vitamins. Throughout the process continued to have periodic medical examinations, but it has been with one of her Associates, Adriana. Everyone is different, but for me, there was no magic bullet and pounds didn't simply fall off. I was and remain motivated and continue to take full responsibility for what I eat. In addition, some form of exercise has become part of my daily life. It took one year but I lost 40 pounds with the thyroid medication, daily vitamin supplements and by following the dietary program that was recommended specifically for me. I met weekly with my wonderful Dietician, Amy. No matter what my question or concern, Amy continues to be there for me. Adriana has also provided great support. Bottom line, I highly recommend the Cederquist Medical Wellness Center. I could not have reached my weight loss goal without their expertise and support. read more

This program is an answer to a prayer for me. After gaining 80+ pounds in the last 15 years and trying every diet on the market, I was desperate to find a way to control my cravings for sugar and starchy foods and lose the weight. I was beginning to lose mobility because of constant foot pain when walking. The thought of being in a wheel chair or on a walker so soon after retirement was very depressing. In my initial consultation, Dr. Cederquist told me that she could design a program for me that would end the cravings in just a few days. I was skeptical at first but it was true. After 3 days on the program the cravings were gone and the nightly binges had come to an end. That meeting was Oct. 25, 2012 and to date I have lost 63 pounds. The foot pain is gone and I feel great. The program offers phenomenal support from Dr. Cederquist and her staff. The weekly meetings with my wonderful nutritionist, Amy, have enabled me to work through challenges such as eating in restaurants, attending parties and sticking to the program when entertaining guests. I would highly recommend this program to anyone struggling to lose weight. read more

I lost 29 pounds and it took about 7 months. My blood pressure has dropped to normal, and my chronic nasal congestion is gone and I am off all of the meds that went with those problems. I have improved self-image, and I am so happy with how I look. The entire staff is so friendly, and sincerely committed to my weight loss. Dr. Cederquist and Joy genuinely understood my food allergies and sensitivities and my diet was designed specifically for me. Dr. Cederquist is the best doctor I have ever been treated by. She has a superior knowledge about bariatric medicine, allergies, and chemical sensitivities. She is compassionate and genuinely cares about her patients. She also understands foods and supplements and their use as medicine, and is a master of general medicine. I have learned certain foods that I am allergic to, and how /what/when to eat these foods. I understand the importance of eating six times daily, which keeps me satisfied. I am confident that I can keep the weight off, because I know how to manage my foods with my weight, and I enjoy it. read more

Everyone at Cederquist Medical Wellness Center is so friendly and helpful! I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with throughout these past two years. Highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately my weight loss stalled at the usual 6 lbs. the office staff could not offer solutions to help me further

I went to Cederquist Medical Wellness Center after struggling for four years with weight gain and insomnia. I had been through a lot of trauma in those four years and in addition to that, was clearly having premenopausal symptoms. I came into Cederquist pretty discouraged and feeling hopeless. Dr. Cederquist spent a long time with me on my first visit. She really spent the time to find out not only about my physical symptoms but my state of mind as well. After that I completed blood work and then began following their program. The weight has come off slowly for me but over a year I've lost 40 pounds and maintained this loss. I did it by following the suggestions given to me by the nutritionist and physician's assistant at Cederquist. I haven't followed it perfectly all the time but I don't give up now because I have excellent support from them. My nutritionist, Amy keeps me focused in a positive direction, always finding viable solutions for any problems I'm having regarding my eating and exercise habits. She provides me with reading material every week to help me change my thinking and move toward a more permanent healthy eating program. She gives me recipes and on a weekly basis, makes suggestions of new food products out there that I might like. She also holds me accountable and has me set goals that I can reach, and that alone has had a big affect in a positive way. The physician's assistant, Adriana is very thorough, listens closely, and is very personable, as are ALL the staff at Cederquist. It's the whole package -- the eating and exercise program, the well educated and very likeable staff, the comprehensive examination and attention to each client there -- I would recommend Cederquist to anyone wishing to lose weight, but more importantly, to bring health and well-being to a much improved status. read more
