This is an update to a review I left back in January 2026. I appreciated that Dr. Willis reached…read moreout a number of times to see how they could make this right with me. Considering I still have health concerns that I'd like to correct I felt he provided a sincere concern on how to rectify the situation. As a business owner myself that was is important to me. I am willing to go along with the program designed for me (which is much different than the first time around). I cannot say if it is going to make a difference since it's only been a week. Health issues can be very complex and achieving the desired results can and usually does take many paths. I encourage anyone seeking optimal health to at least talk with AFM with their concerns and ask the honest questions and do the research on understanding your individual health concerns. Thank you Dr. Willis for responding to my previous review.

I spent nearly $11,000 with Advanced Functional Medicine seeking treatment for mold-related illness…read moreand left feeling completely misled. I was not there for treatment of my autoimmune condition--I already had a neurologist managing that. I came specifically for help with mold illness, yet nearly every symptom I reported was attributed to my autoimmune disease while my mold concerns were never addressed. At the time, I was incredibly sick and so desperate to feel better, so I was willing to try almost anything that gave me hope. Because of that, it didn't take much for me to agree to finance treatment. I deeply regret that decision. My initial consultation was with Dr. Willis, but after that I never saw him again. Every subsequent appointment I had was with other staff members, such as a nutritionist. I later learned that Dr Willis was a chiropractor rather than a functional medicine physician, and there was no physician involved in my care who could prescribe medications. Most appointments were phone calls that consisted of me crying and being told to give the 'treatment' more time while my health continued to decline significantly. I also experienced repeated problems with my 'medical records' and the administrative side of my care, including errors in medical documentation and billing. In my experience, the entire process was disorganized and added to an already overwhelming situation. After months of treatment, I had accumulated a large loan while my condition continued to worsen. Ironically, I am now doing significantly better under the care of a physician who actually specializes in mold-related illness and toxicity. This experience left me feeling devastated and taken advantage of. This is my personal experience, and I hope others carefully research who will be treating them, understand their credentials and scope of practice, and think carefully before making a significant financial commitment before signing anything.

Dr. Alexandra Myers is my PCP and OMT provider. Dr. Myers is laid back and easy to talk to. She…read moreoften recommends lifestyle and natural remedies where possible, though she does prescribe medications, too - definitely a more holistic approach than traditional physicians. She's one of the few osteopaths that still does osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT). She has been so supportive of me as I recover from an injury. Dr. Myers also did not push SDSM's PT service. 5 stars for Dr. Myers. I'd call the staff average. Being nice to them does help. Their billing department and referral departments could use some work, though. I got overcharged, and it took them 5 months to resolve what should have been very simple. Meanwhile, the referral department can be very slooooow, and inflexible. I had requested a different provider, and my PCP agreed to the change. The referral department would not accept the substitution, claiming the doctor did not send them an official referral request. Of course, I don't find this out until after several months after I started with my provider that we didn't have a "legitimate" referral. I still recommend them, but with those caveats.

Luckily, I was able to switch over to Dr. Koretoff's panel. Dr. Koretoff is one of the best providers I've ever had. He truly cares about his patients and listens to them. He's responsive to my questions and is willing to put in the time and effort to get the referrals or medications in that I need. I've had some serious health issues and know my body. I appreciate that Dr. Koretoff respects my concerns and refers me to a specialist when my medical history and/or symptoms warrant doing so. It's clear that he wants his patients to be healthy and have the best quality of life possible (even if it means having to engage in a prior authorization fight with an insurance company to do so. Additionally, the staff here - from x-ray tech to clinic staff - are friendly and treat me with respect. Thank you for keeping me healthy!

For ppl like US with these issues on our health, expects the charity reflection as the Drs visits are the primary expectations for this sense to live out our hopes to be respected and admired. Dr Lai's Office is far from the Walk In process at the hospital when things are really serious at the mid to high level, Dr Lai is a lower level of a Dr of Medicine, their main concern is to be judgmental for the referrals, ER emergency transfer, and the scams of fraud on relatives using their elders of mischievous reasons only they are not aware of , etc. They get calls all the time on Srs missing their meds so the judgmental part is a professional approach to many as they do this to me insuring my twin junkie not there, lol.. I can only expect this no matter how many years I have to see him for I rather complain about my overall health status than to look for an escape route to blame and bicker towards the public and become an online bigot for not getting what I want and expect. I gave them 3 stars and like many would like relations a bit better but best to always follow up of issues or concerns they will and overlook due to their jobs being the way it is of the Office being a low urgent matter regarding medicines and expected of the low numbers of patients they serve , which helps a lot for not having to wait too long as I did for 3 hours as a walk in but expected in any other clinic so best to always plan ahead to call in and schedule.
