After working with other functional medicine practitioners in the past, I was still having symptoms and looking to get to the bottom of things once and for all. Jillian shares all of her knowledge and really takes the time to educate her clients. She makes herself fully available and provides TONS of resources to support you on your journey. I was really blown away. While you need to be committed to do the work, Jillian's plans are in no way restrictive and really set you up to optimize your health for the long term. While I still have some work to do, I feel fully confident that Jillian's approach will benefit me for the rest of my life. I couldn't be more thankful!

In August 2022, the office was still very nice and had the most friendly staff with the most caring doctors and nurse practitioners you could find. Unfortunately, I wrote something that was a lot cleaner and organized than this, but it was deleted, and I am in too much pain to focus on writing that again. I have been dealing with a lot under unfortunate circumstances, and was not able to get in until January. I finally thought I was going to be treated right and I was going to be able to walk again. Unfortunately, no. They do not care. Recently After going to two visits, I received a letter that I was being booted from the practice within a month (ironic that the same day I received another letter on MyChart that another nurse practitioner was leaving the practice) even though I was not getting the proper help I am very very upset because I have been going here since I was about 15 years old, so I would say about 20 years and I was desperately hoping that I would finally be able to walk after three years. I cannot find another primary care for at least five months. Not one person had asked who the man was that called and canceled my appointments. I was literally stuck/held inside a house for almost3 years, my own house until somebody did something about the situation. I was not able to receive help for my health. The staff is now awful. Everything has changed. Everything. The receptionists are rude, you get hang ups and they show their true colors pretty easily. At my appointment with Courtney Tessani I had to ask her to look at back. She didn't once look at my legs or feet that I had told her were very swollen and I could not fit in my regular size shoes, I could not even fit in a shoe size that was over three sizes too big. She did not worry about my blood pressure that got to 220/110 and remained high while at the hospital. I told her would go a bit down briefly once I took my medication by 2 hours after taking it already would be through the roof again. She did not go for a quick two minute walk with me to see how the pain started and the other symptoms that happen when I am walking and standing, like the severe anxiety, dripping sweat, and how hard it is to breathe. She had nothing to say when I told her how weak my once in shape muscular body was now. She had nothing to say when I told her I couldn't even shower. Each time I will stand and end up sitting in there nervous how I'm going to get up and not fall; a mother does not want to have her kids see her like this, she doesn't want to have to call her 15-year-old son into the bathroom to help her up. After the first appointment, I got my x-ray and they told me I had some type of scoliosis, but they didn't think that would cause the pain I was having. But they never wondered or even talked about what the cause of the pain I was having was or could be. I had called after that and asked if she could order an MRI, and the nurse Zoe, who is supercilious and arrogant only, had told me her view on it..reminder, she is not a doctor. I had spoken with Dr. Tessani in the next few days at my appointment and I reminded her that in MRI and CT scan are very important steps to look into what the issue is for somebody who is in the pain that I am. I don't want any medication. I want to be able to walk again. I want to be able to stand up for more than three minutes, not leaning against something. I am not in my late 70s. I am 35 years old and this has been happening since June 2023. She said she was going to send something in for an MRI, I had called MtAuburn Hospital to book it a few days later and they are the ones that told me it was not approved which is shocking. But after I've been trying to speak with my doctor or any other doctors since February 20th (that day, they acted like they had no clue it was denied, which I know is false) I had to speak with Zoe again. She condescendingly talked over me the entire time and pretty much told me that the doctor wasn't going to order an MRI and CT and I had to remind her that between her and my last conversation I had seen Dr. Tessani and she did order it. After waiting longer, I had to speak with Zoe, again she was even worse if you can imagine and pretty much said that Courtney Tessani is not doing anything about the insurance not covering it because when she had ordered it, she basically said she did not think I needed it. So it goes to show you that Courtney Tessani does not care about my health, situation, and what she had sent in for the MRI showed that she did not care and pretty much told them that she did not think she thought I needed any further imaging or help.

Erin is very knowledgeable and helpful. She looks for natural solutions. I have occasional, but…read morevery tough insomnia, and she recommended essential oils and magnesium, in a lotion to bypass my digestive tract. It has worked like a charm. She also took a look at my supplements and changed dosages and brands to higher quality so they would be more efficient. She asks the right questions to get to the heart of the issues, which are many times difficult to tease out. Highly recommended!

I need more than 5-stars to rate my experience with Erin, because 5-stars doesn't do her justice…read more She is a wealth of knowledge and listens better than the average practitioner. I found Erin when western medicine and traditional tests said everything was "normal" but I knew something was off. It wasn't until I took the recommended gut tests and had my sessions with Erin did I get answers-upper GI irritation, hormonal imbalance & a need to take different supplements. But even more than the test results, she treated like a piece of the puzzle & she listened to my symptoms! It's not often you get such a thorough explanation BUT with Erin you will. Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to make things better and in my case she quickly deciphered what was needed and how to implement these adjustments immediately. Erin empowers, uplifts and genuinely cares. It is with zero reservation I recommend anyone wanting to get to the root of the problem and improve your health. Erin is the woman you want when you need answers!

After working with Ilana, not only did I start eating better foods, but I also became better at not snacking and stopping eating when I was full. The workshop was with a handful of other people (we were all friends), which created a good atmosphere and some accountability, but afterward, we did weekly one-to-one phone calls to go over how I was doing applying the lessons we had covered. Over the span of those couple of months, Ilana helped me navigate a lot of the things that make it difficult for us to keep eating healthy- traveling for work, seeing friends in from out of town who want to go out to eat every meal, staying with people who don't always have the healthiest items onhand- the aspects of life that make it hard for us to actually stick to a plan. Since my sessions with Ilana, I am down 15 pounds, feeling great, and hoping to keep going. I hope she can do the same for you.

Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

After reading so many 5 star reviews, I was desperate to give this a try, even with the high…read moreinitial price point (approximately $200 for the appointment and homeopathic drops). I have to agree with another recent reviewer that this is a scam. The entire process was strange from start to finish in terms of what she does to check the body energy. None of it makes sense and you can watch her video on Yelp to see what I mean. I have chronic gastritis and came in for help with that. What she found and the drops given did not help me. Actually a very natural remedy did recently, but nothing that was done during this appointment or following. I am not sure how what she does helps people with digestive issues and I don't think she should be advertising that she can help with that. I also don't think she should be ripping people off with such a high initial price point when there are no guarantees and what she does is pretty hard to believe as legitimate. I really wanted this to work but I warn people to not go and use your best judgement. As desperate as you might be, this is too good sounding to be true and effective.
