I went to my regular dr in May for a physical. I was told everything was great, including my blood sugar. Heal and cure came to my work for a health fair. After the first blood draw my results were quite different with more info! Yes my blood sugar was great! Only 87 ... HOWEVER, my insulin level was 3x what it should be, meaning my body produces 3x the amount of insulin to get my blood sugar under control. I was a few months away from becoming type 2 diabetic. There were Los a lot of vitamin levels out of whack. This is not a quick fix ... take this pill or drink this shake to loose weight... you will be asked to follow a very specific diet... whole, real food... they do sell products. If you cannot afford them, they will give you other options! read more

Please save your time and money and avoid this place. I do not deny that Dr Malhotra can be helpful, however in order for her to treat you it will cost you thousands of dollars. Regardless of your ailment, they will charge you a membership cost for 6 months at $9000. Such a rip off considering everyone's needs are so different. They wanted to charge me that much for some basic vitamins and some follow up tests. I was very disappointed and was hopeful that I had finally found a doctor that cared and could help me, however I was sadly mistaken. read more

I went in here with hope - but was quickly treated very rude by her staff mayya in particular- I will never be back !!!! She clearly made me feel that this office is about profit! The whole plan of action will cost you out of pocket $8000 for the first 6 months I honestly almost considered it till I was treated so incredibly Rude!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't the extremely high SUPER BILL you won't see coming! So far I have paid for no plan of action just tests crazy tests equaled $5000. BEWARE YOU WILL LEAVE FEELING SCAMED ! Her actions displayed hungry for profit! Just be aware I hope this review helps you proceed with caution! read more

I'll save you some time and effort - a 6 month "treatment plan" here costs about $8,000 out of pocket. Nothing is covered by insurance. There's nothing positive to say about this place. There is an ongoing mask mandate and the receptionist was consistently not wearing a mask on multiple visits. This is supposed to be a doctor's office. I received a ton of tests here (just the ones covered by insurance, even though I was pressured to do more tests to the tune of $900 out of pocket). Dr Meena did not go over the results from all of them, only my bloodwork. When discussing my results and "treatment plan", the doctor pointed out certain issues and essentially told me they were due to "toxins" in my body and a vitamin imbalance. The solution was to take vitamin supplements and eat medical food provided by them, to the tune of $8,000 every 6 months. Obviously this raised huge red flags for me. I took my results (I had to ask them for all of them since they were not provided to me) to two separate doctors for a second opinion, who literally laughed at the notes Dr Meena put on my paperwork. The other doctors both said that this practice is a scam and that this practice does not know what they are doing. The things Dr. Meena had flagged in my test results were not abnormalities after all. Dr. Meena told me I had "syndromes" that were not reflected in my lab results. I feel that this practice is highly unethical and a huge scam, scamming mostly elderly people who do not understand their scientific jargon into paying for a ridiculously expensive program that does not have a scientific basis nor does it resolve the real underlying issues. I am really disgusted that someone running this practice would even call themselves a medical doctor. Do not go here and waste your time and money. Go to a real doctor with real solutions. read more

If anyone, after seeing Dr. Meena and gives her a rating of anything under 5 stars needs their head examined. Dr. Meena and her office saved my life! I went into her 6 month program January 2, 2020. I went in at 207 lbs. I had gout, dyslipidemia, cholesterol of 395, triglycerides of 350, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. ! Amongst other issues. Now I weigh between 145 to 150, my cholesterol is low 200's, triglycerides 150, uric acid now 41 and no markers active for Hasimotos. I continue to follow her protocol and this is the first time I have ever maintained my weight loss! I am 65 and feel like I am 30 (almost). If anyone gives Dr. Meena lower than 5 stars after reading my review should be locked up! read more

My mom had been telling me for a couple years to come here because she had heard good things about it. I thought it wasn't legitimate so I didn't want to go, but after a couple years of my health conditions worsening I was desperate so I took my mom's advice and I came here. With my initial consultation I felt a lot of hope. The Dr. Meena seemed to really listen to my list of concerns and validate how I was feeling. She explained their process and philosophy and it sounded great and it sounded real. It didn't seem to be made up, but actually based on science. I came back for testing which runs up to 1600 depending on what your insurance covers. I payed about 1100 for testing after insurance. At this point I still felt good about coming here. Results/Plan - This was where my experience went downhill pretty quickly. I came in and they had me step on a machine that broke down the muscle to fat ratio in my body. Then Dr. Meena came in and explained all my test results. Which was a pretty thick packet. She spoke about which of my levels were in good standing and which weren't. Apparently one of the ones that weren't were my FSH and LH levels. These levels can be indicators of fertility. She had the audacity to tell me I wasn't fertile!!!! I was heart broken at this point. She explained to me that I came at a good time because I wasn't trying to get pregnant for another year so I had time to fix my body before I was trying to get pregnant. Next, she explained that her associate would come in to inject me with a shot of vitamins, and explain the plan for how we would fix my body. This is where it started to really feel like a scam. The associate came in and gave me the shot. Then she brought out the paper work which detailed the costs of the program. She really tried to sell me on their "membership" which costs 7000-9000 dollars just for 6 months. That is crazy. None of that is covered under insurance. You have to pay it all out of pocket. I did not want to pay that much out of pocket for 6 months. When I was reluctant to agree to the membership. She told me that there was a pay as you go plan as well. They recommended vitamin shots 4 times a month, their shake mix all month, and also another powder that was meant for a detox of your body. She still pushed for the membership claiming that in the end its around the same price, you just get A LOT LESS and pay in smaller increments instead of paying the lump sum and getting unlimited access to all their programs, dietitians, educational services, and weird treatments. Some supposedly could completely cure you of depression and anxiety. Some sculpted away fat. It all just sounded ridiculous and like a scam. They didn't seem to actually care about me or my health, just about making money. On top of all that it seems the same treatment is recommended for everybody. So then why in the world did I pay a 1,100 in testing fees if we all get the same treatment? When I wouldn't commit to anything they explained that they would give you a discount if you decided within the first few days or week or something. So I didn't even get the time to research their methods or anything because otherwise I would be losing out on a "great" deal. I told them I would not be agreeing to anything that day. They then explained that I could go to the register and pay for what they did today... Um? What the hell was that? I wasn't informed of any costs. Apparently to step on the scale that measures your muscle to fat ratio it costs $22- $26 and then the shot that I was told I was going to get cost $45. None of these prices was I told about before I took them. I left infuriated, sad, and just feeling hopeless. I looked into other negative reviews online and they sounded very similar. I didn't have the money to waste on their program without knowing if for 100% it was effective. So all in all I was left defeated. Fast forward to a month later when I took the results she gave me to a gynecologist/fertility specialist. Apparently there was no reason to think that I am not fertile. He gave me the blessing to go forth and have children without a worry in the world. This practice solely cares about making money. They do not care about their patients or their patients needs. It may feel that way at the beginning but they do not. It is a money making scam. read more

Before using Dr. Meena's eyelash cream, my eyelashes were barely there. I didn't even consider using a mascara. 12 weeks after consistently using it, my lashes are now thicker and fuller. Even my husband noticed the change. This product is a natural approach to fuller lashes without the harsh chemicals -Geraline RN read more

Not happy with the billing practices of HnC. My wife went to HnC in Feb 2015. 5 MONTHS after her visit, HnC comes back and asks for additional money claiming that that our insurance has been maxed out. We check with insurance company and find out that this is NOT true and everything has been paid for by the insurance and we covered our copay/outstanding contribution. Here is what is more disturbing --- we received a bill in 7/6 and on 7/17, the amount that we allegedly owe has changed. HnC has our insurance info prior to the visit in Feb. Secondly, they are not even sure what we owe. It is a good thing our insurance company gave us the proof of what was covered and has been paid for. We have just filed a complaint to BBB regarding billing issues with HnC. Be aware. Look at the reviews. read more

Yelp won't let me post my whole bad review. Let the one star speak for itself My biggest complaint is the money. I knew upfront not much would be covered by insurance, so that's not it. They are very sketchy on explaining what comes with the $10k". It feels like you're being nickeled and dimed when they make you get on the body mass scale at each visit, then charge you $25 for it. What doctors office charges you separately for using the scale?!? They don't charge you to take your blood pressure, why the scale? Isn't that basic? Final straw was the billing. A disaster from top to bottom. Pay as you go, but then I get a big $700 bill for stuff I thought I already paid for. I called and asked questions about it, and they said yes, they will restate it. Weeks later, comes back slightly revised but still $600. Bad about calling you back if someone can't speak to you at the moment. By the time I was able to ask questions after a few weeks of trying to get a hold of someone, they had already sent my account to a collection agency, even though I was still trying to sort it out. I ended up paying them over the phone, mostly to be done with them, and they took the payment but failed to inform the collection agency. Months later, still being harassed by the collection agency, I called to resolve it. They confirmed I had paid the balance but said I owed them for the fee they incurred by sending it to the collection agency! I refused to pay for their mistake caused by bad service, and the collection agency still thought I owed the entire amount. I finally told them I was in the process of filing a consumer complaint, and they called off the collection agency and said it was done. Such incompetence in the office and wasted time out of my life. read more

Dr. Malhotra, Debbie, and the rest of the amazing staff at Heal N Cure have changed my life not once, but twice! The first time I came to Heal N Cure, I had tried everything to lose some weight and feel better. Nothing worked. I knew I needed to find a lifestyle educator or someone who could help me. Luckily, after some googling- I found Heal N Cure. Thanks to the plan Dr. Malhotra put me on and the support her staff provided, I lost 20 pounds and felt better than I had ever felt in my whole life. I was fitting into clothes again and in sizes I never thought would work for me. I also had more energy! The second time I came back to Heal N Cure was after I had my baby in May 2017. I had gained about 80 pounds in pregnancy and had only lost 20 of them in the first 2 months after delivery. Dr. Malhotra put me back on a very easy to follow regimen and after 3 months of sticking to the plan, I am only about 15 pounds away from my pre-baby weight. The supplements, services, and support Heal N Cure provides WILL help you achieve your weight loss and lifestyle goals if you put in the effort. I have recommended this place to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Malhotra and the GREAT staff for helping me get back to my old self again! read more

Originally had a 5-star review up. Went to update (several times) and was told, "oops, something went wrong." Had to delete and re-submit. Seems fishy to me... Anyway, I originally gave this place 5 stars thinking they were really thorough with all the tests they ordered for me, but in hindsight, they may have just been trying to jack up the bill. I wouldn't call this place a doctor's office. I'd call it a vitamin store with a doctor (sometimes) on site. Every visit, they tried to push expensive supplements and non-insurance-covered tests/procedures on me. For a while, I tried the supplements, none of which did much. So, I was eventually given some prescription meds -- which did work. As time went on and I made it more and more clear that the supplements weren't working for me (meaning, I'd be spending far less there), they became less eager-and-willing to provide just the Rx meds. Eventually, I called out a billing issue, and things went sour. I'd had funky bills in the past with the place... When I recently called to set up an appointment, I was told a chat w/ the nurse was $80. I get the bill, and it was $250. I called to inquire and -- boy, I'll spare you most of the details -- but I got what was just about the rudest "billing manager" I've ever dealt with. At one point, I asked why one 5-minute phone call with the nurse a few weeks prior was $200 and this 5-minute call was $250. I was then talked to like I was five years old -- having my bill (literally) compared to ordering a Happy Meal. I was told, "the bill goes up with the number of symptoms you bring up." I was stunned and had to confirm what I'd heard. "So you mean if I had complained about one more symptom, the bill would have been more than $250?" "Yes, that's right," I was told. I contacted the owners and nurse directly with my experience, and no one ever got back to me. Some time passes, and I call to get my Rx refilled. Lucky me (uh huh), I got the same "billing manager" on the phone, and -- long story short -- she wouldn't let me set up an appt. until I paid the balance I had outstanding, despite the fact that I wanted to discuss the bill with the nurse or doctor. Nope. So, after a bunch of back and forth, I paid the bill and told them to take a hike. I wasn't spending another dime there. What a surprise to me when a week later, I had what I thought was an awful flu (or Covid???) -- fever, shaking, the works. Ended up being withdrawal from the meds I never got refilled. This place wasn't even nice enough to tell me I should ween myself off or whatever. They didn't care. In short: AVOID. read more

If I could give a negative star I would. Please don't waste your time going here for their weight loss program. I gave it my all for 8 whole months and lost a little but gained it right back. Their products are way to expensive and they don't work. Try weightwatchers. read more

I went to a "dinner" of theirs last night. We were to arrive at 6 p.m. The speakers finished at 7:50 p.m. By then I was starving. The food was horrible tasting and temperatures on the same plate varied. Slushy salmon and a side dish, no bread, butter, dessert, etc. Waitress said doctor didn't order bread so we couldn't have any. The food was not something that would appeal to the masses and was not good. Was told that was what the doctor wanted us to eat. I'm afraid any program she would put me on would include her very narrow point of view and I would not be recommended food I would eat. The doctor spent her time not speaking about her methods but about how broken our health care system is. She said currently doctors don't spend enough time with you and just give you a pill w/o telling you anything else. That she would tell us the something else. Well my current doctor doesn't just through a pill, when I had high glucose levels and when I had high cholesterol levels, she did counsel me on what to eat, lifestyle etc. on how to change it w/o a pill. Dr. Malhotra did say insurance wouldn't pay for her program and that she would be a "mentor" to us in our efforts to become healthier. They would not tell us how much or how many visits we would need after the initial visit. She was upset when we asked about insurance paying as it doesn't. The first visit is $87 which is payable while you were trying to eat what you could of the "dinner," the $87 is non refundable if you do some research and then cancel your appointment. Save your $ and time, get a book, read it, and do what you can for your own health. They were so inconsiderate to the clients at the dinner I can only assume they are this inconsiderate in their practice. Also there were not enough seats and they JAMMED extra chairs in so we were sitting for 2 1/2 hours smooshed elbow to elbow not able to use one of our arms all evening to eat as we were so close and uncomfortable. I am disappointed as I went with an open mind and was really looking for something that would heal me be a healthier me. I didn't, save your time and $. read more

Dr. Malhotra does a very complete analysis before she recommends anything. If you follow her advice, you will loose weight. She has nutritionists that help you with your diet. read more

Heal and Cure in Northbrook is fantastic!!! Very friendly faces every time you walk in. The nursing staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Nurse practitioner Irina Frenkel and Doctor Malhotra are life savers. They walked me through my test results thoroughly and set me up with a plan that is reasonable and doable. Thank you and I definitely recommend to everyone!!! read more

I'm very happy I found this office. They're not just a doctors office they help with weight management and nutrition. Everybody there is very nice and helpful. it's great to have somebody who could help with exercise routines. Katie has been great with helping me get on my way with a great exercise plan. I'm hoping to be off my blood pressure medicine soon thanks to heal n cute Katie, your the best! read more

This facility and Dr. Malhotra literally changed my life. I have lost twenty percent of my bodyweight in fat and regained my health in five months with some dedication and work on my part and a ton of support and knowledge from the doctors and staff. It's never "easy" to acheive that which is positive but with the support of Heal n Cure I was able to move in a positive direction toward my goals and to regain a level of well being I feared I had let slip away for good. I can't thank them enough. read more

Made an appointment last week with them for an IPL Facial that I had purchased a Groupon for. Was told at that time I needed to arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork. Arrived today at 3:20 for my 3:30 appointment with an empty waiting room. I completed by paperwork and around 3:35 I was told by the receptionist that Debbie was running around 15 minutes late. That was the last update I got. Finally around 4:20 I went up to the desk to ask for the office manager (again, the whole waiting room was empty). I spoke with Debbie (who apparently does multiple jobs there) about the delay and requested a refund of my purchase. All she could say was "I'm sorry" with a small giggle afterwards. The customer service in this place is grossly lacking. I can see why their reviews are atrocious. I would save your money and look for another company that deserves your money! read more

I saw Dr M in May of 2014. I was fat, bloated, out of shape and feeling badly, on medications, had metabolic sydrome and verging on type II diabetes. In three months I have lost a ton of fat, am off most medications, and feel so much better it is unbelievable. The staff has been amazing, always supportive and friendly and willing to help. My insurance has picked up most costs other than supplements. I find them well worth the money. The Dr. is amazing, she is an expert in weight loss and use of current methods, explained thoroughly every step or medication she recommended and how and why they worked and were useful. When they explained the nutrition portion I didn't imagine I could do it. The nutritionists explained how it worked, how I could in fact eat this way and not be hungry all the time and how my body and tastes would attenuate to the different foods. All I could do was give an honest effort. I have found that every single statement they made was accurate and born out in my results. I have developed a taste for healthy foods. I won't "never" eat junk again, but I certainly won't ever make it other than an occasional "treat" again, because I want to continue to feel good. I give it a very, very high recommendation. The best thing about Dr. M is she looked as genuinely thrilled with great results as I was! I truly believe she is passionate about bringing health back to people and cares about their well being. In any Dr. I can't ask for more. read more

I thought I was dying in January 2015. I had the best doctors and medicine, but was still gaining weight. I had trouble moving and walking, even tying my shoes. Dr. Malhotra explained how my "healthy" diet was not healthy at all, and my portions were way too big. After two weeks of detoxification to get all of the chemicals out of my system, I began some serious weight loss. Using HnC's supplements(which are not covered by insurance) along with healthier foods, I was able to drop 60 pounds in 7 months. Now I am adjusting my eating, trying to find dishes I can eat which are healthy and chemical free. read more

Do not visit! I went to Heal 'n Cure to obtain knowledge about any deficiencies my body had in regards to infertility, with hopes to supplement with vitamins, etc. I had a friend who had had tests run here that helped her identify her deficiencies. However, I quickly learned that the only thing this clinic cared about was weight loss. (My friend was very thin, so didn't need weight loss, so she didn't have that experience). At my first visit I was told that I would have to go on a medical weight loss plan including shakes, bars, and "medical food". I did not go here to lose weight - and although I could stand to lose 10lbs I am a runner, Crossfitter, and know how to eat properly (I just overindulge sometimes!). I was also trying to get pregnant at the time and they told me I would have to stop trying to get pregnant and focus on weight loss for 6mo-1yr because the supplements they wanted to give me would be "dangerous" for a fetus. (That was a red-flag right there to the chemical crap they are giving people to lose weight). I ignored them and asked for the tests anyway. I came back a second time to get the results of the test and was not given any option besides a medical weight loss program and the doctor tried to link my weight to infertility. This place is a racket. I left, went to a real nutritionist, got some great vitamins, and got pregnant later in the year. At the end of the year I reached out to the clinic to obtain payment records for insurance reimbursement and they could not seem to figure out how to do that. I called every week for two months and each week I was told "it's in the mail" or "we're working on it". Finally on my last call I was told, "We'll try to get them for you." (2 months later!). I had to threaten to have our lawyer contact them to finally get them. Which, also makes you wonder - is this place legit in their financial practices? Regardless, only go to this place if you are interested in weight loss-only and are willing to take dangerous chemical "food" in order to do so. How about just a healthy diet and some exercise? Well...I guess they can't make money off of that! read more

Wow. I bought a Social Living coupon for laser hair removal. I called to make an appointment and was planning on doing additional serivces as the same time. The receptionist could not provide price lists. She said I needed to talk to the technician when I came in. She did not provide any instructions for the procedure. When I got there, they made me wait a half and hour. I met with the technician who then told me she couldn't perform the service because her laser was different than most lasers and you needed hair growth in order for it to work. ( I had shaved) That was my "first" session I had paid for. Run away from this place. read more

After the new crew came to this office its has gone down. Im not sure what happened to the other 3 girls they were nice and sweet. Not the ones in there currently not polite or friendly. SO RUDE!! Don't know how to answer when you ask questions. I hate to go there because of them. But Dr. Malhorta is great! read more

Be careful! While Heal n' Cure claims to be covered by most medical insurances... many of their charges are not. If you don't watch what they are billing very carefully, you may end up paying much more out of pocket than you initially intended. Plus, they billed my insurance thousands of dollars that my insurance company rejected. So I'm hoping they don't come after me for those charges. Add that to the supplement costs and meetings with the nutritionist (not covered by insurance) -- I've spent hundreds of dollars and only lost four pounds. Their program seems healthy -- eat less than 1,000 calories a day + good diet and exercise. But really, it seems like they are simply too good to be true. They are very interested in expensive tests, prescription medication and costly laser-lypo treatments. Do your homework before you go and make sure you understand what you'll be paying for, what your insurance covers and what they ideally want you to do in order to lose some weight. read more

I am a regular patient of Heal n Cure for about two years. I am very please with the result I have achieved under Dr.Malhotra's Care and Guidance in my weight control and staying under control without any crash diet and any magic pills. Dr.Malhotra understands my strength and weakness. Doctor never puts on any pressure and she is always so pleasant to discuss and understanding my problems. I have lost almost 40 lbs. and about 5 size to my waist. I have also got rid off number of poor health issues including some of the medication I needed to control Type 2 Diabitice, Acid Refluxe and even C-Pep machine for my sleep apnea. There are countless benifits individually I feel that was not possible before I saw Doctor Malhotra. Doctor always gives attantion to what I have to say and I never feels that she need to hurry up for next patient. Doctor Malhotra's new medical facility I believe is just great because many test are done at this one location instead going place to place for this and that. Her entire staff always makes you feel welcome and greets you with pleasure. read more

I am going through the heal n cure program and have found great achievement. Ive lost 20 ponds so far and the people that work there are friendly and helpful.

Dr. Malhotra has helped me with my blood sugar, get me the on the right vitamins, and has me eating much healthier. She was able to coordinate all of my Drs. tests in order to recommend my treatment going forward. I highly recommend her and this office for anyone wanting to improve their well being. read more

This is such a "bait and switch" scam. First, I was told that Heal n Cure is affiliated with Advocate Hospital. When I phoned Advocate, it turned out that they never heard of Heal n Cure. Then, I was told that H n C is not about diet, exercise, or even eating all natural foods. It is about curing the "disease" that causes fat. Once I met with the doctor, I was put on an extreme diet with very limited food selection, told to exercise, and to eat only all natural foods. Of course, I was expected to purchase numerous, high-priced,so-called nutritious products from them. The doctor was rude, talking to me like I was just another FAT SLOB. In spite of all, I followed the plan. I felt extremely sick, but did not lose weight. They said that it was because my body was detoxing. I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable. On one visit, there were three people in the room with me, all staring me down, like I was a zoo animal. If you want to lose weight, stay away from Heal n Cure, and go get yourself a B-12 shot. It worked for me. read more

I came to Heal n Cure for laser hair removal on my face and could not be more happy with my experience. I have had laser treatments previously on other parts of my body at Premier Laser Spa, and after my first treatment at Heal n Cure, I can confidently say that this clinic is like no other. The treatments I received from Premier Laser Spa left some scars on my body, so I was very hesitant to try laser on my face. However, the exceptionally friendly staff and the technician, Debbie, immediately made me feel very comfortable. Debbie was very attentive to exactly what I wanted/how I envisioned my face to look and was able to explain exactly what she was doing as she was doing it. The biggest advantage of receiving treatment here was knowing that a trained medical professional, Dr. Malhotra, was only a room away in case anything went wrong. That is an asset that I have been unable to find at other sites offering laser hair removal in the area. Moreover, it has been a month since my first treatment and I can already notice a significant improvement in my hair growth, something that took several sessions to accomplish at the last place I received treatment. I would recommend coming to Heal n Cure to anyone seeking laser hair removal and I am excited to explore other treatments they offer here as well. Two thumbs up! read more
