Dr. Springer at Spectra Wellness brought me back to life. I'm 27 and have struggled with autoimmune…read moredisorders, stomach problems, mental health concerns, chronic fatigue, and more for years. I knew I shouldn't be so uncomfortable in my own body at such a young age. I was referred to Dr. Springer by a former colleague and completely entrusted him with my care without the slightest bit of knowledge on muscle testing - it changed my life. The supplementation he programmed for me transformed my body and brain in a matter of 3 months. There's still work to be done, but in just 3 months he fixed my stomach problems, gave me energy again (no caffeine necessary), and lowered the inflammation all over my body. My anxiety has lowered, I'm sleeping better, and I'm not panicked about eating out at restaurants with a fear of pain and discomfort after. The caveat? It's expensive. And it's a real time commitment too. Insurance doesn't view functional medicine and their natural supplementation as traditional and it's not covered. It's an investment to health and personal development. Plus, you have to put in the work and be intentional with the diet regime and supplements. I truly believe it's worth it, but it breaks my heart how inaccessible this care is to the majority of the population. Dr. Springer's focus on root cause rather than masking symptoms and side effects is life changing.

I went to them for diet. They never ordered labwork for me to properly monitor. They never…read moreexplained how to administer the shots nor how I should gradually stop. Forget about calling, you'll be left on hold. Although they have usually five or more behind the desk no one seems to be able to attend incoming patients. I just felt like they were more interested in taking your money than caring for the patients. They defer all questions and communications to the patient portal. I am truly disappointed. And seriously if you go to a medical practice focused on weight and health, shouldn't the staff be representative of that. Most of the staff are overweight and have the worst attitude ever. It's as if they don't want to be there either. Talk about being poorly run and for Godssake turn on the lights in the visitor waiting room. It may help wake people up!

Several years ago, I was treated by Dr. Duke for a skin condition that no dermatologist had been…read moreable to diagnose. I had previously been misinformed by three reputable dermatologists who told me I had an autoimmune condition with no known cure. By the grace of God and in a moment of desperation, I came across Dr. Duke. Given his exceptional reviews, I decided to schedule an appointment. Dr. Duke was confident in his approach and, after conducting some research, was able to provide an accurate diagnosis and begin treatment. Within three months, the condition had completely resolved. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Duke. Since then, my entire family and many of my friends have become patients at his practice. He has even provided a consultation to a friend living overseas.

Not only do they charge $350 just to talk to you for an hour (and make you think they're doing…read moresomething when they aren't), they also keep making appointments for you and then charging you $90 for no shows! I didn't make the appointment in the first place. I was also told by Dr. Duke that he was going to sign HIPAA consent forms on my behalf (never saw them and I don't think that's even legal). Ridiculous place! Original review: The initial visit is $350, which I think is excessive. I didn't know the price until I showed up. I paid anyway, and Dr. Duke spoke for about an hour. If I get follow-up and see improvement, I'll update my review.

I don't typically write reviews, but when something truly stands out, I believe it's important to…read moreshare awareness where it's due and the Utopia Cancer and Wellness Center deserves recognition. This facility has helped countless individuals and operates with an unwavering commitment to its patients, creating an environment of genuine care and understanding. First off, let me be clear: Utopia isn't about flashy promises or claiming to be miracle workers. Healing isn't easy or instant, and that's something Utopia openly communicates. What they are is a team of knowledgeable and compassionate professionals who shift the focus away from conventional approaches that sometimes feel impersonal, toward holistic health strategies that make a lasting impact. Being successful here or in any health journey means more than just paying thousands of dollars and expecting guaranteed results. Healing is a partnership, and it requires proactive effort, education, and dedication on the part of the patient. Unfortunately, some people expect all the work to be done for them only to leave poor reviews when things don't go the way they envisioned. I think it's important to highlight this because Utopia empowers patients with tools to take control of their health, but success requires commitment.

The doctors, nurses and the staff are unmatched. From Airam at the front desk making sure everything is in order at all times, to Mark, making sure the rest of Utopia Wellness is always running smoothly. What we love most about their approach is they treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. They get to the root causes of your health issues and give the appropriate treatments that address the issues naturally.  Unlike other doctors that spend 5-10 minutes with you then you leave with a prescription, Utopia's doctors take as much time as you need to make sure you understand their treatment plan and have answered every question you have. For those seeking a healthcare experience that prioritizes genuine healing and individualized attention, Utopia Wellness is the best choice.

As it turned out, the stress caused my hormones to become severely unbalanced. We met, made a plan and week by week I noticed little changes that let to tremendous results.

Feeling ambivalent about writing this review, as the positive side was having the best acupuncture…read moredoctor I have ever had, Dr. Xu, whom I will miss dearly. Nevertheless, I feel the need to open your eyes and make you aware of the following: Lisa, from billing, has tried charging me for services aside from acupuncture four times. She continues to send my insurance additional billing codes that required co-pays when my treatments are 100% covered. To make matters worse, she sent me an invoice on Monday, 9/15/25 asking me to pay $30.00 for my upcoming acupuncture treatment scheduled for Wednesday, 9/17/25. Without receiving the service, Lisa was already charging me. I have been vocal and assertive about these unexpected charges unsuccessfully. Amber, staff member, dared to cancel my upcoming appointment without my consent after speaking to me on Monday about the invoice received. At 71 y/o, I avoid conflicts if I can, but dealing with some of the staff members in this clinic can be challenging. The clinic is expected to be about relaxation, yet, they have a toxic environment among their staff. I am not aware that the owner, Dr. Ron Shemesh, knows how his staff members are treating customers, but he will find out sooner rather than later. I am tired of receiving bogus charges because each time they send me an invoice, my blood pressure raises very high. I've decided to not go back because my health is more important and I don't want to experience stress and/or anxiety at a place that claims to be about mind, body and spirit. Thank you, and I hope, this review will serve to open eyes because that is my intention. Linda G. Rodriguez, M.S.W.

First time I've tried acupuncture, and I have to admit it, I'm sold. I had always put it off…read morebecause I didn't want the cost associated with having to pay for multiple visits, but this "community" setting has won me over. The first visit you get a tour along with learning the rules and regulations. After that, you're on your own. You walk in (either with or without an appointment), pay at the pay station - and you set the amount you want to pay - then take a seat in one of the recliners. Okay, this part is a bit odd; you are in a massive dimly lit room with calming new age music playing. After you take a seat, the acupuncturist on duty that day comes over, quizzes you about your issues, then proceeds to place needed in your arms, hands, legs, feet, ears, and/or head. It does not hurt - there is mostly just a pressure, if you feel anything at all. This community environment, instead of having individual cubicles or offices, is what enables them to keep the prices so low. So, while you may hear snoring, coughing, whispering, etc. you are paying a lot less then you would at many offices.

Why 3 stars? Because I suppose acupuncture just isn't for me…read more --- --- --- First of all, I will say this - if acupuncture IS your thing, I fully support the mission of this center. They have a "pay what you can" policy that places all each session between $15-$40 and it's totally up to the client what amount they would like to pay within that range. Plus, my interactions with the woman at the front desk and the therapist were very pleasant. If I were ever to have acupuncture done again, I would come right back here. My rating is more about the service itself, and might be more of an indictment on acupuncture as a whole, rather than the business. I've had lower back and hip pain for years. I've tried everything under the sun to mitigate this pain, but nothing has worked. I recently asked my physical therapist if he thought acupuncture would be helpful and he suggested that it was worth a shot. I saw the phenomenal reviews for this studio, so it was pretty obvious where I'd be going for my first experience. Booking my appointment online was super easy, and I was able to get something that was only about an hour or so later from when I actually made the appointment. When I arrived, I was given new patient paperwork and was kicking myself when I read that headphones could be used, because I didn't even think to bring mine. However, before I was sent back for treatment, I was asked to please turn my phone completely off before leaving the lobby, so I'm not sure how one would listen to headphones when their phone isn't allowed to be one. Either way, this was not a huge issue. I received a brief tour of the facility and then was shown to my chair. I was asked to remove my shoes, socks, watch and everything in my pockets. The recliner I was asked to sit in was incredibly comfortable - that was probably my favorite part of the entire experience. When the acupuncturist came by, he asked me where my ailments were. He then gave me a quick overview of what to expect and then began poking me with the needles. He mentioned that he would be poking me all over my body, but I didn't expect zero attention to be given to my actual problem areas. He poked my hands, my arm, my head and my ankles. A few of the needles hurt going in and a few others would hurt pretty badly if I even moved a small amount. Sitting still for about 45 minutes was virtually impossible, so I had quite a few instances of accidentally moving the needles into some pretty painful positions, on accident. Eventually the acupuncturist came by to remove the needles. He asked me if I felt better. It made me laugh because it just didn't seem possible that my chronic pain of 2 years could actually dissolve after tiny needles were inserted into random parts of my body. I felt comfortable and relaxed due to the delightful chair and peaceful music that was being played, but of course it was a zero in terms of helping my pain. Does acupuncture actually work for certain problems and certain people. I'm sure. But for me and this issue, it's just not for me.

I have been treated with acupuncture since I was 14 (so for 26 years) and I've lived in multiple countries and had several different holistic doctors over the years. (As well as traditional ones.) I have a M.Sc. and a PhD and I'm one of those moms that is very thorough when it comes to anything related to my health or that of my family. Irrespective of curricula and experience, a Traditional Chinese Doctor may or may not have the gift of feeling the points and understanding your body in a holistic way. That's a talent one is born with and Dr. D. Eisenman at Holistic Primary Care certainly has that gift. He is extremely knowledgeable as well, and his expertise and knowledge never cease to amaze me -- from every little muscle in your body to physiological and infectious processes, you name it, he is very studied and solid. He combines Thai massage trigger points with Chinese medicine and many other techniques. But going beyond that he has the ability to combine variables and understand what is going on in holistic way. I call him our miracle maker. He can fix whatever problem you have, even when you (or your traditional doctor) do not know what it is. He treats me since I moved to Miami -- for a boost in my defenses, for migraine, for back pain, for the flu every other Dr told you you'll have to be in bed for a week, for exhaustion after a business trip marathon, for thyroid issues, and I could go on and on. He also treats both my kids (8 and 12) and got my son's recurring lung infections to stop and helped my daughter get rid of a calcium deposit (Sever's disease) so that she could do sports again. Without antibiotics. Without albuterol for Asthma. Without cortisone or steroids. Several of my family members were treated here: for high blood pressure, to minimize the effects of Hashimoto's, for their lower back pain due to a damaged disc. Some of them are the type of person that would never go to a holistic doctor, and yet, they felt so much better that they kept going. There's so much I'm thankful for, that I have been delaying writing this review for two years to make sure I do not forget anything. But this is still only a 10% of the issues he has solved for us over the years. He is the best kept secret in Miami Beach. If you think that there is something better to be done about your health and that you deserve more than an Rx prescription mitigating symptoms instead of fixing the cause of whatever is ailing you, you should make an appointment.
