STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS RECKLESS, INCOMPETENT, NEGLIGENT, AND DANGEROUS PRACTICE!!!!! As a patient…read moreof over 2 years, I can confidently say that this clinic couldn't care less about the health or wellbeing of their patients. The fact that the "doctors" and "nurses" at this clinic have the ability to compound and prescribe medication is truly terrifying. In the 2+ years that I went there, the "nurse" that I saw (Erica Barajas) was never able to diagnose or treat my symptoms, outside of simply reading my labs to me and prescribing medication. When I would express concerns about symptoms I was still experiencing, or new symptoms I was having, she would either have no answers for me, or she'd suggest adding another supplement or upping my medication.
She recently prescribed me Tirzepatide, which is compounded at an outside facility, and recklessly prescribed and distributed by Balance. I took only 1 dose and it nearly put me in the hospital. I went to urgent care twice, as well as numerous doctors, and none of them could help me because they didn't compound the medication or truly know what was in it. I reached out to Balance numerous times expressing this urgent concern, and the front office staff completely blew me off and disregarded me, despite me conveying that this was a medical emergency. Absolutely could not have cared less and didn't even pretend to!! Their only response was that my "doctor" is in twice per week and that she'd respond when she could. It took a week for Erica to finally respond to me, despite my numerous calls and text messages, and when she finally did, it was a single text message right before closing time saying "what are your symptoms?". The complete negligence and disregard by their entire practice is absolutely sickening!!! How they are still operating is truly mind blowing.
I HIGHLY CAUTION anyone to go to this clinic. They have absolutely ZERO regard for their patients, and ZERO business compounding, prescribing, and distributing medication that they refuse to take responsibility for. I think this goes without saying, but I am absolutely APPALLED by the way that I was treated, ignored, and completely disregarded after being a client of 2+ years!!!
In addition to blowing me off and ignoring me, they also blew off my primary care doctor's numerous requests for my 2+ years of labs and medical records.
This place is a JOKE!!!! THE WAY THAT THEY DO "BUSINESS" AND TREAT EVEN THEIR LONG-TERM CLIENTS IS SHAMEFUL AND DISGUSTING!!!!
I HIGHLY recommend going to a REAL doctor for HRT. Not to mention my medications are actually regulated, and less than 1/3 of the price I was paying at Balance.
