When a doctor takes an oath to help people, part of that help is billing their insurance. It may be…read moretrue this doctor is one great practitioner, but there is no reason why she should nor be able to bill insurance. Read the oath again and think long and hard who you really help. Only the affluent. Sad state that healthcare is in today due to all the greed. No one is in it to help ALL IN NEED anymore. 11/19/19 Reply to Owner:

Let me start by saying that I've known some excellent doctors, and have had a couple of…read moreearth-shatteringly bad experiences as well. Dr. Julie Reardon has surpassed my wildest expectations of what a family physician CAN--and is willing--to do. I think that's in part because she is a phenomenal physician and person, and I suppose the Harvard education and work with Dr. Andrew Weil doesn't hurt. I'll add that all of the folks in her office are equally as competent and caring. If you are contemplating a visit to Dr. Reardon, it's because you haven't been feeling as well as you should--probably for quite some time. Your insurance-covered doctor has run some general tests that haven't shown anything all that extraordinary; and while you may greatly respect your PCP as I do, you realize that time and budget constraints limit the ability to which they can explore your issues. You may have been told that it's your impending menopause, or your weight, or that you perhaps should consider antidepressants. This is the state of medicine in our current era of managed care, and it's nobody's fault. Sometimes it just IS. Know that, if you can afford her services, "Dr. Julie" will leave no stone unturned in helping you find that road to recovery. She's not one of those "vanity doctors" who will hand you creams, diets, and vitamins to make you ageless and extra hot...although feeling better usually makes you look better! She's a serious, science-based physician with an uncanny ability to relate the typically unrelated, and see the "big picture" of your health situation. In our initial visit, she caught on to trending issues I'd never thought of before, including a potential genetic makeup that leaves me prone to certain problems with mood and energy level that are exacerbated by stress...and I've had a year of that! She ran a gamut of tests after explaining the purpose of each one, and uncovered a problem so critical it was a wonder I even had the energy to get out of bed in the morning. I am no less impressed with our follow-up discussions. She has referred to another provider for an area outside of her realm, and also recommended simple vitamin and supplement changes that will do me a world of good. At the same time, she's not that earth-crunchy guru that's going to mandate that that you live on purified air and chants...hers are moderate lifestyle changes for real people living in our everyday world. Dr. Julie doesn't take insurance, but that allows her to spend true quality time with the patients who sign on with her. I will say that, for the fees involved, I feel like it's been a very good choice for my healthcare dollars. I am finally getting some solid answers as to why I've felt HORRIBLE over just this last year, and I finally feel confident knowing someone's got my back while I take steps to get better. I think there are a lot of docs out there who dream of having a practice like Dr. Julie's--and she has made that dream a reality. When I think about how quickly Dr. Julie started "cracking the case", and all the co-pays and labs past that never quite addressed my issue, I realize that I have now SAVED time and money in the long run. What's more...I could have gotten REALLY sick were it not for Dr. Julie and her findings. She very well might have saved my future from being...well, not so bright. Thinking about calling for an appointment with Dr. Julie Reardon? I say go for it...you will NOT regret it, and you have everything to gain.

I made my appointment as a meet and greet. It's only a 10 minute appointment. Although that doesn't…read moreseem like a lot of time. We spoke a lot and Dr Nelson seems to understand where I am coming from. My concerns and my ultimate goal. It's been over 2 weeks and I haven't heard back. This is a little disappointing. And makes me question professionalism. Or maybe Dr. Nelson is just overwhelmed with too many patients. For now, my concerns are not life threatening in any way. So I can either move on and find another doctor. Or just not address these minor concerns.

To say that Dr. Amy changed my life is an understatement. I started seeing Dr. Amy about 10 years…read moreago and since then almost every member of my family has seen her as well ( and too many friends to count). I originally saw her to help with hormone balance. I am so glad I did. What she taught me has helped me with a very smooth transition into perimenopause with little symptoms. I love that she uses functional lab testing to really find out what's happening and then gets to the root cause. I always leave her office with a renewed sense of hope that whatever issue I am facing there are answers. I can't recommend Dr. Amy, and naturopathy in general, enough.

Dr. Maltz is a one-woman wunderkind!…read more She took me from a 30 lab Christmas tree (half red, half green) to 29/30 green in less than 2 years. If that sounds like a long time, (a) you don't understand medicine, (b) you haven't been suffering long enough. What a wonderfully warm woman. Although not a fan of many of my life choices the didn't "tsk" or such. She worked with who I am and made me better. In more ways than the lab work can show. Truly a healer.

I didn't have a great experience with Dr. Maltz. I had to fill out a pretty extensive questionnaire…read morebefore our first meeting, and then she spent most of the meeting asking me the same questions (sometimes twice, as she wasn't fully listening). For the fee she charges, I was let down by the experience, and her recommendations. But maybe that was a one-off and hopefully she is much better most of the time:)

Seeing Dr Pichardo has completely changed my health for the better. I have been struggling with…read morefatigue and pain for several years and Dr. Pichardo is the first doctor that has taken my symptoms seriously and helped me create a plan to feel better. From our first appointment she was kind, compassionate, and thorough about finding the cause of my symptoms. Not only did she identify why I was feeling this way, she created an extensive nurtintion plan and exercise plan to help give me relief and scheudle a follow up to make sure I am getting better. After a month of following her plan I have already started to feel less pain and more energy. If you are looking for a doctor who will listen and get to the bottom of how you are feeling, Dr Pichardo is the one.

After years of being misdiagnosed and doctor's brushing me off, even after expressing on-going…read moresymptoms and issues, Dr. Shippy had located the root issues to my health problem! Since around the age of 24., I've been battling Hashimoto's and added issues which I thought were IBS and fibromyalgia. After extensive testing, mold toxicity and SIBO were two issues we were able to pinpoint. Within weeks of the new supplement regime, I was put on, while living in a mold environment, my aches and pains went away! Dr Shippy has been extremely helpful, considerate and caring as we navigated moving to a safe environment. She is always a source of encouragement. For the first time in years, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel under her care. I cannot say enough good things about her! She is worth every penny and ounce of your time!

Update: Another reviewer stated rates from 2010. The following are the current rates for 2024…read more Dr Ann Shippy's rate for new patient appointments is $4,200.00, and yes you read that right. FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR$ for one two-hour appointment. Her follow up appointments are $780.00 per hour and 3-6 weeks apart. Plus thousands of dollar$ more for her 'lab tests' and 'supplements'. In a just one year, the math is the 'tell'... $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 Dollars.... And no insurance. I cannot comprehend what appears to be an shocking disregard for decency. Even in a free market, what type of person would make their fortune on the backs of the sick and suffering, the desperate and frightened.... never mind a 'doctor'?

I found her on yelp, I hope that others see this review and give her a call as she is a one of a kind gem in a city of doctors that rush you out of their office. Back to my nutritional concerns, she has a whole pantry of foods to educate her patients on eating a whole food/vegan diet. I found it extremely helpful to see these practices in real life and not just in a book.

Dr. Carrasco is friendly enough, but my experience with her was disappointing. I eagerly showed up…read morefor my appointment hoping she could help me get my heath on track, yet she did not have my lab work available to reference for some reason(said her assistant didn't send it to her ?), which made the appointment completely worthless to me. So the rest of the appointment was taken up with chit chat and being told to read several books, such as The Wahls Protocol. I couldn't believe she thought suggesting books to me to read would suffice and be a sufficient exchange for the high fee I paid to consult with her. Definitely not what I was paying out of pocket for. I cancelled my follow-up phone consult with her, but her assistant messed that up as well, as she ended up phoning me anyway, which was very awkward. She really should have rescheduled my appointment since she was unprepared, and I should have left instead of wasting my time/health with someone so disorganized.

I saw a pulmonologist, acupuncture, had cupping, saw ENT, my OB and PMD. 4 inhalers, multiple nasal sprays and antihistamines and opiate cough syrups later ... I was cured in 1 day by this woman. There is no balance in regular medicine to discuss food in wellness. As a doctor myself, I ignore it too, even, because it's not really taught. This doctor is not to be ignored. Love you Alex!! Thank you so much.

From the moment I walked into Bluebonnet Diabetes & Endocrinology, I felt seen and respected--not rushed or reduced to numbers on a chart. Dr. Lalani took the time to truly listen to my health concerns and history. She asked thoughtful questions, reviewed my labs in detail, and created a personalized treatment plan that was both clear and manageable. What stood out most is how collaborative she is. Dr. Lalani explains complex medical issues in a way that's easy to understand, works seamlessly with my PCP, and doesn't make me feel judged--only supported. Whether we're adjusting medications, exploring lifestyle changes, or planning for long-term goals, she makes me feel like an active partner in my own care. Another plus: Dr. Lalani's appointments run on time and she even offers virtual visits, which is a huge help with my busy schedule. If you're struggling to get real answers or tired of feeling like just another case number, Dr. Lalani will be a breath of fresh air. She's not only a brilliant physician but a genuinely kind human being. Highly, highly recommended.
