But she continued to lecture me about cancer screenings using fear tactics ("I knew a 25 year old who died from breast cancer bc she wasn't doing daily exams"). Mind you, I'm here literally for a cancer screening - so why are you trying to freak me out?? Next, the management. When I left, I said "do I need to schedule my follow up?" And the lady at the desk said no, your doctor scheduled it. You'll get a confirmation in your email. Never got any correspondence so I assumed no news is good news and forgot about it. Then I get the most unprofessional, goofy ahh text threatening me with a $250 no show fee. I was still able to take my telehealth call even though nobody told me about it, which makes this even crazier. I still had my appointment. There are so many clinics and better offices to be taken care of in LA. Just steer clear of this sh*t show.

Next, I met with Christina to try acupuncture as I'm experiencing chronic back pain.

I enjoyed the health professionals okay, but my son had a different doctor each visit, which to me…read moremeans the doctors come and go easily. Which meant inconsistent care. Not to mention the Health Coach and the Doctor were often saying completely different things, so there is not congruent communication between these two parties. Also, this company makes NO effort to proactively communicate with you. Meaning, if you were to sign up for a year and not reach out to set up appointments, they would take your money and offer no refund or grace even though they rendered ZERO services. And it is NOT EASY to make those appointments. His doctors (because he has many) were sometimes booked out a month and a half or only available for tiny windows within a week. They refused to give us a refund after they auto-renewed our account after a year. When the doctor said it was our last appointment, I assumed we were done. However, they continued to bill us for 3 months before I noticed what was happening. I was told repeatedly that they have a strict no-refund policy. Even though they have made NO effort to contact us. No communication alerting us to this renewal. No attempts to schedule new appointments. I find this unethical. Unfair. If the services themselves were phenomenal, I would at least give 3 stars. But for mediocre, and often disjointed services, on top of their dishonorable business practices, I say JUST GO TO A LOCAL FUNCTIONAL MEDICAL DOCTOR NEAR YOU!

I had been watching Parsley Health for a couple of years, and in April, I decided to get an annual…read moremembership. I was drawn to their holistic, functional approach to medicine. I also liked the idea of having a team of support, including a doctor and health coach, working together to help me live an optimal life. I'm also very keen on technology and supporting efforts to use technology in innovative ways. Let's just say: The reality of Parsley Health is much different than the painted vision of Parsley Health. To summarize: My doctor and health coach were nice, but I could sense their boredom and exhaustion with one Zoom call after another day after day. Also, Parsley's scheduling and use of technology truly sucks. The Parsley Health model may work for some, but it didn't work for me. I canceled my membership in July. If interested, I've shared some details below that led to my decision. RECEIPTS. I paid for the annual membership (~$2K). I expected to receive a receipt soon thereafter. I never received one. When I asked for one, they said that they were happy to provide a receipt after every doctor visit for ~$400 ($2K total/5 visits). That way, the doctor could provide relevant diagnostic codes for insurance/FSA purposes. When I asked for receipts for my first 2 doctor visits, I was literally shocked at the diagnostic codes my doctor noted. Not only did the codes not apply to me, but it's also nothing we ever discussed. When I asked the doctor about it, her attitude was, "Don't worry. It won't impact your insurance." Excuse me. SCHEDULING. I don't know if it's the doctor/health coach combo I picked, but trying to get a Zoom call scheduled at a decent hour was next to impossible. My first doctor visit was at 5AM PT. If I hadn't taken that slot, the next available appointment was 2 months later. If you live on the West coast, good luck. At one point, I got an email from a Parsley Health employee who wanted me to schedule a 30-min appointment with her to discuss my experience so far. I don't know if everyone got this invitation because when I went to schedule on her online calendar, she had no openings for the next 4 months. I just deleted the email. BLOODWORK. One thing I really liked - or so I thought - was the comprehensive lab work they have you do after your first appointment with your doctor. They tell you it's fine to break into two lab appointments, but I opted to do it all in one visit. Why not just get it done? The lab ended up taking 17 vials of blood. They took all they could out of one arm - 14 vials - then poked the other arm to get the other 3. All I can say is I was glad someone drove me. LAB RESULTS. The most enlightening, new piece of information I got from all the bloodwork is that I have very high lipoprotein (a) levels, which means I have a high risk of heart disease and stroke. I had never heard of lipoprotein (a) before. Through my research, I learned that it's genetic and it's something you can't really fix. When I reviewed these results with my doctor, she was not concerned at all nor did she offer any suggestions on how to mitigate or lessen the blow of this discovery. OTHER TESTS. Not once did we ever discuss getting regular mammograms or colonoscopies. That shocked me. When I looked into scheduling my own tests, the facilities I looked into wanted to send the results to my primary care doctor, which was Parsley Health. However, Parsley isn't into having you upload results from external sources. Like I said, I've canceled my annual membership (without a refund). This experience has reminded me of one of those commercials where the actor says, "I'm not a real doctor, but I play one on TV." Parsley's version is: "I may be a real doctor, and I play one on Zoom." I've scheduled an appointment with my traditional primary care doctor from a few years back, who, I might add, will be happy to review all my results from Parsley and guide me accordingly. She'll also kick my butt and tell me to get a mammogram. Let the good times roll.
