Despite explaining that I…read moreneeded to stay within what my insurance would reimburse (insurance they accepted), they did not actually honor my request. I originally went here to treat my pain and to understand which approved pain procedures I might be a candidate for (e.g. spinal cord stimulator). As a chronic pain patient in a great deal of pain, I've never been treated as poorly as I was here. They really had their own agenda. For example, a week or so after my first appointment, I received a call from a businessman on behalf of Katalyst pain clinic, asking whether I was interested in a novel treatment for my pain. When I asked about the cost, he told me it was $10,000-$12,500 - with no insurance reimbursement. This is fine to know for the future, but I needed to get out of pain now, using my insurance. It felt humiliating to repeatedly request both in writing and verbally that I needed to stick to what my insurance would cover, at least until I had a new job. I'm responsible to pay the bill, after all. I was disappointed in the care provided, the unprofessional demeanor, and frankly the attitude demonstrated by Dr. Buettwell (embrace patient, argue with patient, discard patient). I never did learn about my other approved treatment options - only the off-label peptides and platelets they push. Apparently, some things are more difficult than medical school.

Everyone I know that goes to Katalyst - myself included - will say it's hands-down the best of the best! Whether you're just going for IV therapy infusions or a debilitating chronic pain condition, Dr. Boutwell, Julie, and the staff are incredible. The amount of time that the providers spend on empowering their patients through education - coupled with their genuinely compassionate bedside manner - is exceptional.

To be candid, this is a bit of an emotional review for me…read more Anyone who has ever struggled with chronic pain will know this to be true: it's absolute hell. For the past six years, I have had debilitating lower back pain. I've had to stop working out, and I've had days when I could barely walk across the room. I've gained weight, lost sleep, and have really struggled. The most frustrating part has been that no one could ever tell me what was wrong with my back. My scans showed some swelling in my SI joints, but that was always the end of it. A year ago, it was discovered through a blood test that I possess the gene HLA-B27, which can indicate the presence of a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. So there it was: an answer! But even after previous doctors saw this, they were hesitant to diagnose. Why? I have no idea. But I was always just put on pain medications, which is never a good answer. I actually stumbled into Dr. Paul by accident when my previous doctor was out on leave. She was the first person to have a long, focused conversation with me about what was going on, and diagnosed me with AS pretty much immediately. It was such a relief to have an actual answer. From there, I was put on the appropriate medications, and was pain-free almost immediately. It's been several months and I am still feeling amazing. Dr. Paul is an exceptional doctor, and spends time addressing questions and concerns, which I've found to be really rare with rheumatologists. She changed my entire life and I'm back to functioning at 100%, which I'll never take for granted. I cannot recommend her enough. Kathy, one of her staff, has been wonderful as well. Truly a great group of people.

I went to Julian because some cosmetic surgery I had recently had (don't judge!) left me with a bad…read morecase of lymphatic buildup. My surgeon recommended therapeutic massage beginning a week after surgery. I'm not from this area so I went to my most trusted new best friend (Yelp) for a recommendation. To say I was in need of a good massage is an understatement. Lymphatic buildup after the type of surgery I had can leave you with rock-hard bands of what feels like seatbelt webbing under your skin. If those areas aren't worked and broken up they can become scar tissue and permanent. (Not the fault of my surgeon, btw, my body is just apparently one of those "lucky" few to whom this happens). It is also extremely painful and severely limits your range of motion. I booked my first appointment and was so amazed and pleased that I booked a whole series of two-hour appointments immediately thereafter. Julian knows exactly what he's doing. His knowledge of physiology and kinesiology becomes obvious immediately. The type of massage I needed is NOT your "fluffy bunny spa massage." It's very deep tissue, very specific and it takes a skilled practitioner to get it just right. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure that Julian would be able to pull off some wonderful "fluffy bunny spa massage," in fact, I look forward to testing his skills on that some day soon. As a person, I have come to adore Julian. He is gentle and kind, very smart, caring and an excellent listener. I am so thankful to him and to Yelp for helping me find him!

I am only in my 20s but I spent my entire life through college as a dancer, I work out 5-6 days per week, and I have a lot of stress/anxiety problems. Julian has been a miracle worker for all of these things. As an extremely anxious and (oddly) private person, I was really nervous about going in for a real massage. But Julian immediately did away with my concerns. He was warm, welcoming, and soothing from the moment I entered the room; gave me plenty of space to prepare myself; and was very sensitive to my temperament and to how new I was to the experience. Previously, I had only ever received fully-clothed massages that only focused on the upper back or were done as practice for a class. So this was something completely different. Julian is very good at listening to his clients. He really gets to know you, both in what you want from him in order to physically feel better and in who you are as a person. During my hours with him, there have been periods of really nice conversation and periods of intense calm and silence. Julian always seems prepared to go with whatever you need at that moment. Julian's approach is extremely physical, and is by no means soft or delicate, but his is really, in my opinion, a better approach for people with injuries and problems with pain. He has a remarkable way of pinpointing the source of your pain and relieving it in minutes. He also works your full body, not just the most popular points, and takes your lead as to what you feel needs the most work that particular day. And if that's not enough, he then helps work with you on tactics to help prevent that pain from resurfacing in the future or to find ways to manage it as best as possible. I can't say enough good things about Julian. He is worth every penny, and that said he also asks for an extremely reasonable price. If you want a truly lasting and relieving massage, go to Julian. He is the top of the line in every way.
