The doctor had me do more in depth horomonal testing in order to understand my unique circumstances better & treat accordingly. I've been on the supplements for 1.5 weeks and am already down 5lbs strictly from addressing the inflammation in my body. Giulietta is kind & understanding, which is hard to find unless you seek out specialty settings like this. Her and Dr. Thakkar went above and beyond to understand me & my lifestyle to tailor to me accordingly. I cannot say enough good things about this clinic & it is worth every penny.

I have 3 kids under 5, with my youngest just turning 3. I was finally ready to lose the 25-30…read morepounds I've gained over the years with pregnancy and stress of having little ones. I searched the internet and found Chicago Weight Loss. I was very worried at first, but as soon as I walked in Joan made me feel like family. With the blood test on my first visit, I found out I had an under active thyroid and that was contributing to a lot of my weight gain and failures to lose weight! So I went on the Phentermine to curb my hunger, and began thyroid medication the following week. As always, I lost the first 5 pounds right away. But after that, I have been losing 1-2 pounds every week. I'm on the 12 week program which includes the IV therapy which I think is helping so much w the weight loss. I'm on week 10, down 20 pounds, and feel amazing. My pants that used to barely fit are falling off and I even bought a pair of jeans in the same size I was pre-baby!! I should be close to my goal of 25lbs by the end of 12 weeks, and plan to continue on with phentermine another month or so to lose the 30lbs. I can't thank Joan, Dr., and staff enough for everything. Customer service is amazing and they help put each person on their own customized plan that fits their needs. Very highly recommended!!

On 8/24/2020 I was told that my Vitamin D was low along with a few other minor vitamin deficiencies. I was told that I would be put on a schedule to come to the office and have these vitamins administered by IV. I told Carla Brook that I was not going to be administering anything by IV and the costs quoted was outrageous. I requested a copy of my labs to be posted to my portal. Nearly three years later, they have never provided me with the lab results that I paid for and simply ignore my requests. I've now requested that my information in their custody and on their portal be destroyed and my account closed. No answer. I can't speak for the glowing reviews this practice gets because this is the worst I have ever experienced.

He ended up buying both deals off of Groupon for us. I went in with no expectations. I did previously get a syringe of vollure in my lips at a different office and saw little difference. Her office is very clean, I went in and was greeted with a very friendly staff. Dr. Melamed took us in and began our consultation before our procedures. I told her that I have had Juvederm vollure injected, 6 months prior, in November at a different office. I also mentioned that I was looking for more volume with this appointment. She advised that she would recommend that we inject Juvederm ultra plus instead of the Juvederm ultra in order to achieve the results i was looking for. She had her assistant in the room with us to have a second set of eyes and opinion. She made adjustments throughout the procedure as needed and I cannot he happier with my results. I loved the entire experience, I highly recommend Dr. Melamed and her office!

I made an appointment at I-Vita Wellness & Aesthetics and was required to put down a credit card…read moredeposit to secure my visit. I drove over 45 minutes for this appointment, only to be handed additional paperwork when I arrived that had never been mentioned beforehand. I was asked to provide my ethnicity and a copy of my driver's license before they would see me. None of this was discussed when I booked the appointment. Had I known in advance that this information would be required, I could have made an informed decision before making the drive. When I questioned why my race was necessary for what was supposed to be a simple facial -- not surgery -- I was told they "needed to know my race to determine my skin type." That explanation did not sit well with me. Skin type can be evaluated professionally without reducing it to race. Because I was uncomfortable with the additional undisclosed requirements, I chose to walk out. Transparency matters. If certain documents or demographic information are mandatory, that should be clearly communicated before taking a deposit and having clients travel significant distances. Unfortunately, this experience left me disappointed and frustrated.

Their "medical advice" is DANGEROUS If you aren't convinced, just keep reading. ________________________________________ The practitioners are under-qualified hippie pseudoscience bullshitters Joshua Marable is just a glorified masseur & Heidi Mc Glain just seems like a good old nurse, but Kara J Nance is something else. I went to see Dr. Nance myself, and believe me when I tell you she was the most condescending and passive aggressive doctor I've ever been to. In her website bio, there's a whole lot of non-medically related, random info aimed to convince you it makes Nance any better of a doctor. Basically, Kara Nance is a podcaster who co-wrote a couple of books on computer software and another on female intuition with a FOX-News-famous CEO and media personality... yikes. She's also a certified Enneagram Teacher--which means she makes personality tests. In fact, she takes great pride in that she has "an aptitude for critical thinking" solely because the Meyers Briggs personality test told her so. Ironic for someone so reliant on AI... which brings us to the second reason you should avoid this place: ________________________________________ Everything Wellessence MD (including the official website) is AI slop. Unless you want to get charged for a bunch of AI bullcrap being thrown at you, don't come here. When I met with Dr. Nance, she openly typed my medical issues into Google Gemini asking for solutions, then read it out to me off of her laptop, printed out the AI response she called "doctor's notes," charged me, and sent me home. I tried telling her I didn't agree with AI-generated medical advice,--after all, I came to see a professional, not an LLM--but she just told me I seemed crabby and could go see another nutritionist if I didn't like it. I did. She said you're insane, Kara. Come on Kara, let's hear the AI-generated comeback on that one. ________________________________________ Their "medical advice" is DANGEROUS Before offering me (a minor) weight loss drugs despite coming back with a healthy BMI, Kara first provided me with an AI-generated workout routine and a "No Carb, No Starch" diet. Good thing I did my research, because otherwise, I probably would have wound up passing out & sick. The no carb, no starch diet was framed as sustainable, but called for less than 20g of carbs, about 75g of protein, and 5g of fat in a day. That adds up to just 425 calories A DAY. In an attempt to get something from it, I did some calculations and applied the same ratio of macros described in the diet to a reasonable 1,468 calorie diet. But it now called for the consumption of 73g of carbs, 16g of fat, and 257g of protein (that's more protein than in an entire rotisserie chicken!). The diet is dangerous & beyond saving. ________________________________________ If you made it this far, I hope I've convinced you not to waste your time and money on this horrible clinic like I did. Protect yourself and find legitimate, good doctors.

I visited this place in search of a primary doctor after moving across the country. They took my…read moreinsurance, I paid the copay, but Dr. Nance was not a good fit for me. I won't go into the details, but to summarize, she made me uncomfortable. Now, nearly a year after I had seen them last, they send me a bill for around $250. These services were long paid for through my insurance and the copay, and I was not notified that I owed any more. All payments had previously been resolved. Why are they sending an email stating that I have a balance, and why are they not mailing me a bill or calling to inform me of the balance? I will give them a call soon to figure out the rest, but this is highly unprofessional. It just reinforces my decision to not continue dealing with them. I will update the review based on the outcome of the call. Edit: It took them about a year to submit the bill, and they office representative could not give me a clear and concise answer as to why I owe, despite it being previously covered. She is blaming the insurance, but the insurance had already covered the payment over about a year ago. I am no longer on the insurance that I had last year, so if they tried to charge me again, it may reflect that I owe, but why wait so long to charge? I am waiting for the office manager to call me. This is unethical and a shady practice. They will not be getting anymore money from me. This bill may even have to go into collections. Final Edit as of Dec 2025: Never received a call back or any form of communication (besides another automated email notice to remind me of the bill). Double checked with my prior insurance, and it turns out they submitted their claim very late (as stated previously), but the insurance notes that their contract states they cannot bill the patient as well, since they submitted everything late. So they are breaching their contract with the previous insurance by billing me. Attached is proof of the statement by insurance, "THIS CLAIM WAS NOT RECEIVED ON TIME SO WE CANNOT PAY THE CLAIM. YOUR CONTRACT WITH CIGNA DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO BILL THE PATIENT AFTER THE TIME LIMIT."
