Potentially racist encounter here. I would like a refund. Full experience below…read more I brought my bike up to the office and she insisted it wouldn't be stolen if I left it outside the door. She was so preoccupied about how much time this would take for me to find a bike rack downstairs due to "back to back" appointments. Why the f**k would I trust her word regarding the safety of my precious bike. After suggesting I come back another day, guilting me into "I drove here for you," and saying she called her next appointment to push to 9:40am (she did not since I was in front of her the whole time) ontop of me being desperate after a bad week, I suggested to put the bike inside her office which she agreed to. Looking back, I should've left because the purpose is to heal and how can I with this energy. And so begin the awkward convo about why I wanted acupuncture. She couldnt understand or pick up much of what I was saying due to lack of English so things I said I had to repeat or she didnt hear at all. Never go to a doctor that doesn't know your language fluently because then how are they supposed to treat you? Overall it was a quick 20-30 min acupuncture in a dark tight silent room. Shortest session I've ever had but she insisted "it's not about the time, it's about the results." Stayed on the table beyond my appointment time since she said her next appointment that she was preoccupied about "cancelled." She also mentioned right off the bat that she only accepted cash, which was not communicated when I booked the appt. The length of session was also not communicated prior. Anyways, if I had to run and go get cash, this would've been another reason she would've suggested "I come back another day." On top of that she didnt have full change so I get the vibe she was lying about the card machine not working...racism? Maybe but looking back on this, it seemed she was lying about many things and searching for any reason to not treat me. A waste of $75, but actually $77 since she didnt have enough change. Offered $2 off in next visit but I won't be returning. I would love a refund.

Since my first review I have flown back 3 more times from Honolulu, to see Chris Lawinski, MD, and…read moreit feel like home. I now know I can be well with 3 infusions every 4 to 6 months....actually I went 7.5 months once. I now know everyone there so well, Chris Lawinski , although very busy, manages to be flexible, since I fly in for 3 to 4 days.This truly is an extraordinary medical practice, and so obviously, the result of a doc with a clear vision who worked and turned it into a reality. I also have had several virtual consults and phone appointments, PRIMACY to discuss the ketamine lozenges I take which which prolong the infusions. I also have a wonder compounding pharmacy in Berkeley, California, who fill the scripts, and who are incredible, make it so stressless. I receive the lozenges 36 hours after they post them, and I am in Honolulu! They are accessible via email and phone....And does this efficiency and professionalism cost more...N0, including shipping it is half what one pharmacy charged, and 1/4 th what another charged!...and others with similar cost, were impossible to reach, and packages took 3 to 5 days to reach me. Remember this name..VALOR COMPOUNDING IN BERKELEY! ..no..I am not related to anyone there, and no, I wasn't paid. BETWEEN CHRIS and VALOR..I am enjoying a new found Wellness after decades...I am 73.....oh, ok, wish I was 53...but no real complaints, 73 is better than most of you might guess :) . Lots of laughter, busy doing things I love.. I will be back in Pahoa getting infusions in a couple months wouldn't miss it for anything. jane

This place is awful. They work on the sunk-cost principle. You first have to go have an interview…read morewith the office manager, where he assures you how much cheaper their services are than a regular doctor's office. Then you have to have an appointment to establish service. During this appointment, they literally will NOT talk to you about any medical issues you have or any prescriptions you might need. You're supposed to make another appointment for that. This first appointment is just for the APRN to nod her head while you go over your history. They make a big deal about being cheaper than doctors, and it's true, their actual visit cost is less. However, you'll quickly find (if you pay out of pocket like we do) that they have "procedure fees" for everything. For instance, at the doctor we eventually found, I only pay a $35 nurse fee for vaccinations, but at Park Wellness, I was expected to pay the regular office visit fee PLUS an additional amount for a procedure fee, which brought the total to MORE than a checkup with the doctor. Not only that, but I was flat out told that they charge MORE for a procedure fee for people who pay out of pocket than they charge insurance companies. The office manager, who is related to both APRNs and is therefore likely there to stay, is a rude jerk. I'd say more, but frankly, I have so little trust for this place that I don't want to say enough that I can be identified. This was one of the worst "doctor" experiences I've ever had.

The entire staff at Park Wellness is a joy to work with. My entire family goes here from my…read morechildren to my husband and myself. Anytime we have needed a same day appointment we have been able to get in. Both APRN's that work at this office truly care about the well being of their patients, they will call and check in after an appointment to make sure you are recovering. During your appointment they listen to all of your concerns and with you come up with an action plan to address the health concerns you have. They do keep you accountable on your end of the health plan, which in my option we all need. I have recommended them to many people and will continue to do so.

I immediately did an intense research on the internet and all roads lead me to Dr Mary Umbrello in Kea'au. I called a friend and shared with her my reaearch and idea. We both decided to face this adventure together. It sounded right but I questioned if it would deliver. I couldn't wait to get rid of the constant stuffed feeling in my gut and to experience clarity again. I was excited and eager. After the cleanse, nothing could of prepared for what I experienced. I was totally drained of what little energy I already possessed. I didn't panic because I experienced this feeling several times and knew exactly what this was . . . DETOX! I couldn't function. Drove back to Kona and fell asleep . It wasn't till the next morning I felt the magic happen. My gut felt light , my brain and thoughts were connected. My energy level had improved and I was so grateful. Called my friend, discussed our results and decided to make an appointment with Dr Mary for a 10 day Hydroclinic cleanse. We knew we were on the right track to better health and this would be the foundation we needed to heal our bodies. I'm so excited and cannot wait to begin this new journey. Here's to a happier healthy life

I vomited that night after and knew it was working, I was cleaning out, hoping the antibiotics, toxins, etc. were exiting. There was more to clean, more to do and consistency grows. I enjoy transparency, I researched, and let my medical doctors know, including my physician assistant n specialists. I was pleasantly surprised and welcomed the green light, confirming my choice n safety. I knew this was a part of what I'd been preparing for all these decades. I was hopeful that this would allow me to continue to clean, assimilate and heal. This was a huge missing piece! No regrets! the journey continues, now with added confirmation of what I knew and additional strength, power and support I need to be more consistent in living my best life as I age! the possibility of getting better and best became more real! these last chapters of my life are a wonderful adventure! and, now We are forever friends and sisters as well!
