Where to begin..... I was in a major car accident in 1997 ( age 19). From there, lot of surgeries…read morefollowed by loads of Dr apts. Pain was a real factor after the accident which led me to see a pain specialist. Having said, I was on major opioids for last 28 years up until 2 months when Cristina Gonzalez at From Pain to Wellness kicked me out of the practice for one of the meds I was on not showing in my urine. Just like that, after 28 years of opioids, 13 years of being seeing by the same pain management clinic.. that was it! Kicked to the curb with no help, no suggestion on where to go , what to do... Frankly, my first thoughts were very dark - wasnt sure if life was worth living. Was worried about withdrawals.. more importantly how in the HELL does a Dr prescribe 300mg of oxy a day and then say " adios.... Hope you figure it out.... ". Well Cristina, the joke is on you b/c Ive never been better. All thanks to Dr Oyasu of ModernMed. For those out there who are looking for support.. maybe youve experienced a similar situation with a rigid personality nurse practitioner. Whatever it is, please know that it's gonna be ok! In Fact, your life is gonna get better..... Dr Oyasu of ModernMed is a Demi god! His regular job is that of an emergency room physician yet he decided to open ModernMed to support people like me, who got caught up in an opioid cycle. All this b/c his heart was breaking for all the types of people coming into his ER for opioid treatment / withdrawal . my first apt was to discuss my plan in how I was going to get off 300 mg / day of OXY basically cold turkey without ruining my life, my marriage, my job. Dr sat down with me to come up with a plan. He prescribed a handful of medications in which I was super scared yet OMG I had ZERO withdrawals.... I maybe felt a little crummy for a few hours, maybe a day and that was it..... withdrawals over! Folks... you DONT have to spend 100k on some fancy rehab. You just need a really good Dr! Here we are.... Almost two months later... weve had to tweak a few of the meds yet I'm on my way to being fully done w/ opioids and the best part is that I've never felt better - i feel strong, alert, happy, my brain is working in ways it hasnt in decades... I can't explain it but it's exciting . I feel like my brain is coming to life! I hope this helps someone out there! Whoever u are... whoever needs help... Dr Oyasu is waiting for u with open arms to help you see the light. Opioids suck! It's a never ending ticket to nowhere. At Pain to Wellness I spent $500 a month with insurance just to come in to do regular refill apt. Just think , that's $6000 back in my pocket! Maybe I'll spend that money on a trip to Africa, maybe Europe.. Best part is that I won't be jaded on opioids... I'm free!!!!!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Symetria. Before I ever started treatment, I was…read moretold over the phone that with my insurance my costs should be around $60 per month. Instead, I later found out they were billing my insurance approximately $750 PER DAY (and yes, they will force you to go in everyday for your meds in the beginning) for visits that consisted of little more than coming in and receiving my Suboxone at a window. According to my Blue Cross Blue Shield account, the first four days alone were already nearly $3,000 in charges, and there are still additional days marked as "in process," and Lord only knows what those days are going to be costing. My guess is 750 dollars again. Sickening. For context, with my prescription plan, my Suboxone would typically be a $10 copay for a 30-day supply if prescribed through a regular doctor and filled at a pharmacy. Instead, I was placed into a system where I was required to come in repeatedly just to pick up medication at a window, while each visit was billed at hundreds of dollars. I was initially told I would only need to come in for the first seven days. When those seven days were coming to an end they informed me I would have to continue coming in three days a week for another three weeks just to receive my medication. Each of these visits was being billed at around $750, despite the fact that I was simply showing up to a window to get medication that could otherwise be managed through a standard pharmacy prescription. Talk about scam! During my entire time there, I saw a doctor over Zoom ONE TIME and met with a drug and alcohol counselor ONE TIME for intake and a treatment plan. Blood was drawn, and I was given lab results that were never adequately reviewed or explained to me. Additionally, most of the blood work results I received were marked "test not performed -- specimen past stability," meaning they were not actually completed or were unusable, and I was never given a clear explanation as to why or what that meant for my care. What I find most disturbing is the amount being charged to insurance compared to the actual care provided. The vast majority of my visits involved no physician interaction, no counseling, and no meaningful treatment beyond walking up to a window for medication. Yet, hundreds and hundreds of dollars per visit were being billed. It felt less like patient-centered care and more like a system designed to maximize billing. Patients seeking help for addiction are vulnerable and deserve transparent pricing and ethical treatment. My experience left me feeling misled about costs and pressured into unnecessary in-person visits simply to access medication. I cannot recommend Symetria based on my experience.

This was my first time coming to this center and getting a full body massage. From the moment I stepped into the center, I immediately felt calm, soothed and welcomed. The entire center has an element theme. There's a room named air, fire, earth, wind and water. There's dimly lit lighting, the scent of incense in the air, crystals all around, and soothing music playing. My massage therapist was Kristine. She was very friendly and put me at ease right away. I took a minute to fill out a new patient sheet and she discussed any medical conditions or anything that I wanted to focus on. She gave me a tour of the center and then we began my treatment. The raindrop treatment was awesome! She dropped (8), I think, essential oils down my spine, then covered them with a warm damp towel and let them soak in, meanwhile she began my massage. Kristine was excellent!!! She always made sure that I was comfortable and that nothing was too painful. The raindrop treatment helped to loosen up my muscles and also acts as a detox. It was very refreshing, even though I smelled like a "pizza" after wards. Haha...I think one of the oils was oregano. I had my massage yesterday and today I actually feel pretty darn good. I've been in constant pain the past 2 weeks due to fibromyalgia, and the massage and raindrop treatment truly helped me! I can't wait until my next treatment! Overall, this place is awesome. They offer more than just massage. They do traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, ear candling, and reiki. They even have an infared sauna and do all kinds of body wraps and such. There's also facials, waxing and eyelash extensions. Check out their website for a full list of all they do! Aimee, the owner, is sweet and soooo knowledgeable and helpful.

I came back to acupuncture after having a miscarriage to heal and hopefully get pregnant again in February of 2025. Christina talked me through everything - supplements, acupuncture cadence and benefits of cupping and infared sauna. I took the supplements as directed and came in 8x a month, with occasional adjustments to my membership. I will never forget joining in a sound bath at Vitality Wellness in the first month and laying underneath the wall of babies Christina helped bring to this world. I prayed I would have a little one of my own to join the wall. By June of 2025 I was pregnant! And came in regularly every month to be supported by acupuncture and cupping. I was a high risk pregnancy due to preexisting conditions but my little girl and I were completely healthy throughout the entire process. She was welcomed into the world in February of 2026 - exactly 1 year after I started my journey again back at Vitality Wellness. Postpartum I have felt amazing and continue to see Christina. I genuinely attribute the investment into my mental and physical well being was a huge factor in my successful and healthy pregnancy and birth. Thank you so much for all of your support, Christina. I'm so grateful my little one is officially on the wall of babies!
