I'm not sure if anyone else had a bad experience with Jan Medical Group's team and services. I was…read moreunder the care of the Licensed Nutritionist, not the doctor himself. She was very inattentive, insulting, and honestly made the whole thing feel like a scam. She took my payment but wouldn't answer my follow-up questions about my order, failing to answer both email and messages until I messaged someone else on the team. After payment and consultation, the doctor decided to put me on a lower dose of medication, so I was entitled to a 750 peso refund. However, I asked if it could be rolled over to my next dose through a discount code. When the second month rolled around, I was told they no longer had the medication and it was impossible to order. Logically, I asked for my refund back and was denied by Licensed Nutritionist. When I said that this was a scam, she scolded me. Only for her to look into it further and see that I was right. She eventually said she would give the refund, but I haven't received it (yet?) and feel no reassurance that I will. I wouldn't do business with them again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I wish I had read a review like this before I invested in the flop program. Don't bother stressing yourself out with this team.

I was 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby when I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. My OB…read morereferred me to see an endocrinologist, who referred me to the Nutrition Unit of St. Luke's. I was scared to be putting my child at risk so I went. It turns out that this was one of the best decisions I have made, not only for my baby but also for my own well-being. I have to admit, I was close to tears when Mhai, the nutritionist at the Health and Wellness Center advised me to steer clear of anything with sugar, but she patiently went over the food groups (with matching illustrations) and the corresponding number of calories and gave me a meal plan that I could follow. She didn't criticize me on my poor food choices and lack of portion control, instead she gave me healthier alternatives to junk food and chocolate. Her advice was pretty easy to follow and I really took it to heart that in two weeks, I lost 10 pounds. This alarmed my doctor though, because I was not supposed to be losing weight at that point in my pregnancy. So I went back to Mhai and she altered my diet, adding another snack in the meal plan. It has been over three months since I gave birth and I still apply what I learned from Mhai, or at least some of it. And although I haven't reached my target post-baby weight yet (thanks to ice cream and chocolate), but I have made some significant changes to my eating habits, thanks to the Health and Wellness Center at St. Luke's.

Hmmm I don't know how I feel about this place. First, let me start by saying that their staff is…read morereally nice so that's not the problem. I've been to Belo before 13 years ago when I was on vacation in the Philippines I went several times to the Belo Clinic at the Podium and I had a great experience there. Since I enjoyed my last previous visits I thought I'd come back to try them out again, this time at the Shangri-La Plaza. The doctors and staff have been kind to me, this is a review mainly for my experience during the Glycolic Peel. I just wanted a facial to soothe some redness and also get a cleaning done. Mind you, I've done cleanings here in the U.S. so I know what they feel like and I've also done them at Belo Clinics before. Anyway, I got a Glycolic Peel and the peel portion was fine and painless but damn the cleaning hurt so bad! OMG! It was torture! I swear I would have thought the esthetician hated me! I know there's usually that blackhead remover tool they use but it felt like she was following it up with a needle poke in each pore! it was HELL! I was literally crying my makeup off and I don't know why she didn't stop or try to adjust to make it less painful. It was the worst hour of my life and vacation LOL. On top of the pain, because she poked my pores with a needle or whatever she was using, my skin looked like shit the rest of my vacation! My nose had red blood dots from the needle and my nose ended up looking like a strawberry. The worst! It finally only healed now since I'm back in the states. On top of that, I was prescribed a cream to soothe the redness and they charged me 1600 PHP ($31) for Bioderma Brand and when I got home to the U.S. I found out that it's a cheap brand that they sell at Walmart and Walgreens for only $11 -___- Yeah, definitely not a pleasant experience. I suggest doing your research first before buying medication or lotions from here. It's probably cheaper to get it outside the clinic.
