So grateful to have a friend recommend that I go to Desert Wellness Center. In just a short time, my doctor, Dr. Emilee Wayne, expertly and tenaciously got my hormone levels in balance for the first time in my life. I truly have never felt better; even when I was a young woman. Thank you Dr. Wayne and Desert Wellness Center staff for all that you do! read more

0 stars. I had to contact my bank and cancel my payment to them they were so bad. They told me first visit would be 90 min, it was only 45 min. But they charged me the entire cost. Next a phone call was 45 min and they charged me again! For a phone call for results! They could of sent me an email for free! Save your money and don't go there. Plus I didn't learn anything new a real doctor would tell me. read more

I will not be back. I went as a first time patient and paid $300. That first visit was suppose to be a physical, and spend 2 hours with me. Doctor only spent an hour with me, asking me questions and she took notes, no Physical at all. Then sent me on my way with tests I had to go get done. I called regarding a quick question I had for my doctor and I was told I'd have to pay $75 and schedule a 15 minute call with the doctor. I guess that's their policy. I found a much better caring NP doctor. He spent over 2 1/2 hours with me, I have his cell and he answers my questions with no fees. It's sad when it's all about money, but I'm very thankful I finally found a doctor who really cares about me. I'm very sorry I had to write This bad review but I would not recommend for these reasons. read more

I can't say enough how much of a difference Dr. Wallace and the staff have made in my daughter's health. Everyone in the front office is helpful and responsive. We have always been able to make an appointment when we needed one. Their phlebotomist, Alyssa, is highly experienced and makes the process easy and comfortable. My daughter has had extensive thyroid issues, several surgeries and various difficulties with her health and Dr. Wallace has kept her healthy and most of all feeling good! She is in incredibly knowledgeable and amazing with all things thyroid and hormone related. She will have you feeling better after your first visit! read more

Awesome place to actually get healthier. Dr. Cronin is awesome with my busy schedule as a business owner. Being able send a text every now and then and getting a quick response makes it much easier to stay healthy. read more

Dr. Lussier and Desert Wellness changed my life. I have been sickly my whole life, getting every virus and bug that goes around and seemingly unable to fight it off in a reasonable amount of time. After my daughter was born there was a time when I was vomiting from a different stomach bug every other weekend. My kids would bring home a bug from school and be sick for a day or two; I would come down with it and be knocked out for 2 weeks. I always suspected something was wrong with my immune system, but I'd had blood work done a dozen times and every doctor I saw said everything was normal. Then I saw Dr. Lussier on the advice of a friend. The day of my first appointment I was coming down with the flu (of course). I cried in her office as we went over every detail of my health history and my current life stressors. Dr. Lussier is so detail-oriented and thorough -- you can tell she truly cares about all aspects of the health and well-being of her patients. The tests she ordered and the analysis she provided of my results were unlike any medical professional I've ever encountered (and I've seen a lot of them!). She knows how everything works together like no one else does. She doesn't see that something is in "normal" range and dismiss it; she knows what times of the month certain levels should be higher or lower, she knows what levels should ideally be higher than just "normal," and she works tirelessly to test and re-test until all the pieces of the puzzle are put together and working optimally. Fast forward two years and I am a different person. I don't get sick anymore. I DON'T GET SICK ANYMORE! Maybe one cold a year. And when I do get sick I am able to fight it off so much faster. I'm no longer fuzzy and foggy all morning at work; she helped me reset my internal clock so that I function better during the day as opposed to at night. She helped me with my libido, my energy levels and countless other things. I recommend Dr. Lussier and Desert Wellness to everyone I talk to. Too often we just accept that low libido, low energy, weight gain, etc. is a part of growing older. It doesn't have to be! I can't say it enough: She changed my life. She can change yours, too. read more

If you are interested of have questions, CALL! This place gets a 5 star rating before even walking in. I spoke on the phone with the sweetest, most informative young lady named Leticia. She answered every question I had and so much more with genuine care. I will share my in-office experience after my appointment. read more

I started going to Desert Wellness in 2018 for male hormone replacement therapy. At first, my doctor was great as were the staff, but as time went on, I realized that they were turning into a MediSpa offering Botox, Fillers, VSPOT, etc and if you don't spend serious coin, they lose interest in you. I would get blood work done on the orders of my Dr., but wouldn't find out anything unless I bugged them about it after several weeks. At first, the Dr. blamed her staff, but after a while it became evident that I was not that important because I didn't spend a lot of money. I also know several other people who quit this practice for the same reason I did. Just understand what you're getting into if you go to this place as you will be pressured into spending money and if you don't, then you become insignificant. read more

I had a horrible experience with this place start to finish and would highly recommend taking your business, energy, and time elsewhere. Just like other reviews, I can agree that all they care about is taking your money and over prescribing supplements. I knew going in that my initial consult was $300...pricey, but I wanted to go somewhere I could trust and get the best assistance for my hormonal imbalance. My doctor recommended a bloodwork panel to see my levels and check my thyroid. The day I went in to see the phlebotomist she asked for my insurance card. I thought it was strange because I had paid out of pocket for everything else (a lot of other fees by the way), but she said they outsource the bloodwork, so I thought that was normal. I paid a fee at the office for the blood draw and thought I was done. Three weeks later I received a bill from the lab they sent my blood work to for $2,971! My insurance covered some and I still owed a little over $500. I called Desert Wellness right away and they said they would see what they could do. They also mentioned that if I would have just paid out of pocket there it would have been a flat fee of $200. Nobody told me that ever. Obviously I would have just done that like I had done with everything else. They also failed to mention most of the charges you will receive while giving them your business. I did hear back from the office manager and she said there wasn't anything they could do, but she offered me a consult with a different doctor there at no cost. Really? No thank you! I will take my business and money elsewhere and just get the word out about my experience so that it doesn't happen to anyone else. There are so many other options out there at a more reasonable cost with doctors that actually care about their patients. read more

I have been seeing Dr Lussier over 10 years. I've recommended her to anyone who asks. She has done more for me than any traditional western medicine doctor ever has and she is my primary care doctor now. I go to other doctors for specific things like annuals, etc. but she can do just about anything anyone else can but better. She looks at the whole person, not just symptoms. read more

This place nickels and dimes you for E V E R Y T H I N G! It would be one thing if they were doing this and billing insurance, but nope it's all out of pocket! I called ahead of time to get a price estimate for hormones which they did but they were off by hundreds of dollars! You can't get out of there without them charging you for something. I've never had a place charge me for a blood draw until this one! I definitely would not have gone here if I knew how much it was all going to be ahead of time. There is ZERO transparency here. The staff is nice and knowledgeable, but that's about it! read more

Dr. Wallace came and did a presentation with a group of women and I enjoyed her presentation and approach to functional medicine. Excited to work with her in her practice. Office is modern and fresh. read more

I started going to Desert Wellness Center and Dr. Ezrre about a year ago. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Ezrre. She is one of those few Dr.'s who really take the time to listen to their patients. I would highly recommend Desert Wellness and Dr. Ezrre to anyone. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Wayne for the past two years. Her attention to detail and overall knowledge provides confidence about treatment options and plans. Desert Wellness Center is a welcoming and clean environment. read more

I'm pretty open minded about the type of care I receive so I finally decided to try a Naturopathic route and I chose to see Dr. Ezrre based off her profile on the website. And I have to say she was the perfect choice for me. I've never had a Dr pay so much attention to me and getting to know my health history. It was a unique experience and I left happy and content with my service! It was pricey paying out of pocket but totally worth it!! I received a B 12 shot also and I'm excited to see how it helps me as the week progresses. Dr. Ezrre is very nice and knowledgeable, she is easy to talk to and has solutions for your needs. I would highly recommend this office for your health care needs. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Ezrre's for nearly 9 years and she has supported and helped me through a hysterectomy and then years later discovered a 3 lb. tumor in my abdomen other doctors missed. She treats the whole person - emotional, mental and physical. Dr. Ezrre worked with me during menopause and continues to stay on top of my treatment. She has also treated my 25 year old daughter for years whether it be mono or most recently Bells Palsy. Having a doctor who thinks of you as a person and not a number is a beautiful thing!! read more

I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Dr Spice Lussier! She literally saved me life! After moving to Mesa from Chicago area the fall of 2016, I needed to find an endocrinologist for my hypothyroidism so I could continue to refill my thyroid medication. Looking up a specialist by ratings I could not find an endocrinologist with high ratings and great reviews. Then I found Dr Lussier. Though she is not an endocrinologist (she is an NMD, a doctor of naturopathic medicine) she has more knowledge, care and compassion then I have ever experienced with any doctor in the past. She treats the whole person, not just dealing with the symptoms and quickly writing out prescriptions for medications. My first consult was 1 1/2 hours long. She took time to REALLY listen to me and how I was physically and emotionally feeling. I had been through extreme non-stop stress for over 6 years and she listened while I told her about some of it. She also inquired about my past medical history and how I was feeling currently, asking questions that helped her know just what was wrong with me medically as a whole and not just addressing my thyroid issue, such as energy levels throughout my day and evenings, quality of sleep, etc. (I was exhausted pretty much from sunup to sundown every single day, depressed, couldn't loose weight even when I strictly followed weight watchers, had difficulty falling asleep and had restless sleep, my hair was falling out, etc.) She ordered specific tests to determine my bodies different hormone levels. She suspected that not only was my thyroid unbalanced but I had adrenal fatigue from the long consistant stresses I had endured. My next appointment was to go over the results. My levels were so extremely low that Dr Lussier was shocked that I was not curled up in a corner or even physically able to get out of bed. Patients with the extreme low levels I had are normally hospitalized. She said I must be very resilient. My adrenal glands were pretty much not producing any hormones at all, hormones our bodies need for our brain, heart and other organs to live and function. Without them the organs begin to stop functioning properly and eventually shut down resulting in death. Dr Lussier was so compassionate and she knew exactly what my body needed to heal and become balanced and healthy again. She explained everything in detail and in a way that I could easily understand. Yet she was honest and upfront. She told me as severe as my adrenal fatigue was that it would take 9-12 months before I would reach that point, that during this time I would have ups and downs, but that I WOULD feel strong, clear and sharp minded and healthy again. There was definite hope! And though I have had some set backs do to huge stresses in my life continuing (as Dr Lussier said, she cannot nor can I remove stresses, they will come) I am 95% there! Now when stresses come I am better equipped to handle them as are my adrenal glands. I have lost 20 lbs, I can think clearly and I rarely forget things anymore, I have energy most of the day, able to fall asleep easier and sleep soundly, my depression is gone and my hair is growing back in thicker. When I walked into Dr Lussier's office a year ago little did I know how ill I was. She got to the core of it. Dr Lussier is an angel! She truly listens and is 100% invested in her patients. She just beamed when she saw me at my last appointment because of my physical transformation. When someone is healthy inside it shows in their outward appearance! Dr Lussier has not only changed my life she gave it back to me! I cannot even put into words my gratitude as there are none to adequately express it. She is a blessing and she has blessed me beyond words! read more

Desert Wellness Center is just an excellent place. From the administration at the front desk through ALL the Dr's. they genuinely care and take the time to determine what the true issues are. Dr. Lussier has made such a dramatic difference in my health and well-being. From appropriate Thyroid management to fabulous hormone balancing, she has been able to address my health issues in a truly dynamic and thoughtful way. The team knows what they are doing. They listen! Dr. Lussier spends at least 20 minutes with me one-on-one every time I go in. Truly... as good as it gets and well worth it. read more

Dr. Lussier truly listened to what was going on with me and my children. Her approach for their allergies and eczema worked so much better, with no shots, steroid creams or other undesirable treatments. She is also amazing at caring for my thyroid issues. I was going to a traditional endocrinologist who never did thorough evaluations and left me feeling horrible. Dr. Lussier did the necessary labs plus has higher standards of what "normal" is and has me on a protocol where I feel much more balanced. We LOVE Desert Wellness Center! read more

I have had great experiences at Desert Wellness center. Staff is always friendly, don't have to wait long. I would highly recommend them for healthcare, supplements and other minor procedures. read more

Dr. Smialek is a wonderful doctor. I sought her out after my daughter had two rounds of pneumonia this winter. Her gentle guidance has helped me transform my daughter's health. I am so grateful to her. She spends quality time getting to know the issues. This seems to be a lost art in medicine and I am truly appreciative. Not to mention, my daughter loves to go there. If you are looking for a Pediatric Naturopath, she is the Dr. to see. read more

My appointment was cancelled and NO ONE contacted me until I was just leaving to drive there. When I called to discuss the matter I was given two different reasons on why it was cancelled which tells me they don't know what happened. One of which was my "deposit did not go through". Again no one contacted me regarding any issues. If it didn't go through she had to have taken down my card information wrong and I should have been contacted. I was offered a $25 credit and no apology for their mistake. I lost a whole days pay and was insulted by the offer. Apparently my time doesn't matter. I requested to speak with the manager and was told twice she would call me the same day. Tami the manager did not call until the next day. When I discussed my frustration and disappointment she was not willing to work with me. Again offering a measly $25 credit when I lost $100 from taking off and still no apology. A $50 credit and apology would have taken care of it. She put words in my mouth and talked over me. HORRIBLE customer service, I've never experienced anything like it. I'd recommend finding yourself another clinic who actually cares about patients. read more

Everyone in this establishment is very professional and welcoming. Dr. Cronin has always explained everything every step of the way making sure the outcome is what I was hoping for. They are punctual and just a lovely group of people to chat with. Thank you ladies. Can't wait till my next visit. read more

Goodness....where shall I begin! After years of knowing something wasn't right with my health and countless appointments with all sorts of medical doctors only to be told "you're fine" "this is normal", I began my quest to find a naturopath. I was so frustrated to spend so much money on co-pays w/ my health insurance and less then 5 min/per appt. with the medical doctor and get absolutely no relief. After seeing Dr. Lussier for the last 2 years I can tell you I'm feeling better than ever. I meet with her periodically through-out the year to re-check labs (PCOS/hormones/full panel) and see how my treatment plan is working and WE make adjustments where necessary. And let me tell you I feel better then ever! While under her care I have had some major life changing events take place and we adjusted the plan to where my body was at. Dr. Lussier is not quick to throw a prescription at me unless absolutely necessary. What I've learned is this....in the medical world you get a prescription and then another one to treat the side effects of that one and the list keeps going on and on. Most traditional doctors treat the symptoms not the root cause. They want your money...not for you to feel better (my personal opinion). If you're looking for a Naturopath for you or your family, Desert Wellness is the place to be. Best decision I've made and well worth the investment if you truly want to feel better. read more

Came across this practice when looking for a pediatrician Nautropath doctor. Regular doctors were pushing to have surgery on my daughter to remove adenoids and tonsils, but I was not convinced as she did not have chronic respiratory illness. I found doctor Smiliek at this practice and have been going there to the last 3 or so months. When you opt for the Naturopath route don't expect a quick fix, expect long term holistic benefits. The doctor spent 1.5 hours with me and my daughter in our first visit and over 1 hour in each subsequent visits. She takes her time to know every patient and tries to find the route cause of what might be causing physical.l condition. She treats a person as a person and not as a check the box process like most regular doctors who spend 5 minutes with a patient. Dietary changes are usually required in the naturopath process but again all well worth it in the long run considering the life-long benefits for children. No insurance accepted which gets expensive but still cheaper than undergoing surgery even with insurance. Highly recommend if you are tired of doctors who don't take the time to understand the problem, medicate everything with antibiotics and resort to invasive procedures. read more

I've been going to Dr. Spice Lussier at Desert Wellness Center since June of 2013. She is very knowledgeable and is a great resource of information. In Dr. Lussier's care, I have lost 28 pounds, and continue to lose weight, quickly approaching my goal! It has been wonderful to have someone that has taught me, and continues to teach me so much about living a healthy life style. She truly cares for the wellbeing of her patients and I'm so glad I've found her, my wellness doctor for life! read more

Dr. Smialek is a wonderful pediatrician. We have been taking our three children to her for about three years. She truly listens to you and no concern is too small. I fact she wants to hear every detail about your child's health and creates a plan for your situation. She is compassionate and we could not be happier. She has helped our family with everything from digestive issues, self control and asthma. If you have never been to a naturopathic doctor before you will be surprised. During the appointment you will be face-to-face with Dr. Smialek the entire time. She truly knows our children and we are thankful to have her on our team. read more
