She is located in one of the multitude of Hoag Medical buildings within a couplex in Newport. The nurses here are very nice, caring and congenial. Allergy tests were performed (the method where they put an array of tests on your back) which helped narrow down the allergies. Dr. Gupta then reviewed the allergies, explained in detail how and why allergies occur and what line of testing and treatment she would like to follow plus took time to answer all my questions. She then had me do a blood test and make a return visit to review everything. She really pinpointed what was causing my allergic reactions. Dr. Gupta instills confidence in her knowledge and abilities. She is very professional, helpful, caring and courteous; a beautiful person both inside and out.

She explained everything to us and was super friendly and punctual, too! She worked hand in hand with the nurse and they kept checking on us after the cat scratch test. We came in with horrible allergies, and turns out that something like a sensi-mist Flonase spray has helped immensely, on top of other recommendations to rid our house of dust mites! My kid is sleeping so much better now that he's able to breathe! We are super pleased that we found Dr. Aranez and just wish we'd found her sooner!

I do not recommend Dr Zimmerman at all. She is VERY money driven. I stopped seeing her after she…read morediagnosed me with a mold problem where I was living (at the time I was living and caring for my 91 year old mother and my developmentally disabled sister). She told me I needed to leave my home because of the mold. Money was an issue with me at the time, obviously, and I was in absolute tears. Her only response was to quickly try to schedule AND CHARGE $$$$$ me for another appointment to discuss how we would deal the mold issue. No compassion at all for the situation I was in. About a month later, she sent out a letter to her patients saying she was "retiring". An ethical doctor would probably stop taking new patients if they were getting ready to retire. Why would you take on new patients if you knew you would not see them through the process of getting better? Then a couple months later she sent another email to her patients saying she wasn't going to retire, but was joining another practice. Something is just not right here. I am now seeing a functional medicine doctor in Montana that is wonderful and not money driven. A PIECE OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE A FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTOR BASED IN OC. YOU CAN SEE MOST FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTORS VIRTUALLY AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND FINDING A DOCTOR OUTSIDE OF OC. The worst part is I just received a lab bill for $2500 that I never authorized almost one year after I stopped seeing her. I called her to try and help me rectify the bill and her new receptionist told me it was my problem. JUST TO CLARIFY READING HER RESPONSE. THESE ARE THE TESTS SHE RECOMMENDED AND ORDERED. NO TEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $500. SHE SENT ME TO THESE LABS. BE VERY CAREFUL OF HER "3RD PARTY CHARGES". I can understand how frustrating it is when labs send surprise charges, which is why I always recommend that patients try to find out from Quest and all other labs up front what all their charges will be. I never want anyone to experience the stress of unexpected charges. The $2500 bill was not from our office; it was from a lab where this patient chose to get testing done. The payments are handled by the lab and not by my office, so I'm sorry that I'm not able to help with 3rd party charges.

She put me on a binder to detox which was way too intense for me during that time. I could not handle the binder and had to stop taking it. I had to stop the treatment and she was not able to offer anything else. This was a waste of my time and money and was pointless. I know a lot about holistic health and natural medicine and looking back at that time in my life and healing process, that was WAY too soon to be put on a binder especially without even seeing me in person as we did a phone visit. She was happy to take my money for the appointment but it was a waste. Do not recommend. In fact, I recommend a much more gentle approach.

Mentioned it in passing with my sister who is an optometrist who demanded I call immediately. Additionally, the office double billed for the same visit so now I'm disputing the double charge. I paid the first $581 bill and then one of the same visits appear on the second bill after I reviewed the charges carefully. If I didn't review this additional $800+ bill carefully I'm sure he would just pocket!

He's very thorough. When I would ask him a question, he would close his eyes, think about it, then open them, make some notes, and give me a thoightful answer. He said I had many variables that he wanted to consider before answering. I call him Buddha because he is wise and kind. He solved another problem that I didn't really come in for, sciatica, by recommending a special form of vitamin B that is more absorbable, magnesium, and gogi berries. He wasn't trying to sell them to me. (I can get them anywhere.) Following his recommendation, in two days my sciatica was gone. Lastly, the office quoted me the price of food allergy tests beforehand ($500), which is what I came in for, and let me think about it before proceeding. I like that. With my insurance, it was only $105 for an hour's worth of his time and his recommendations. Very reasonable. I recommend him. I like his natural approach and his deep reflection before answering.

If they're on the phone with someone else, it automatically hangs up on you and makes you call again. The first time I tried calling their office, it took 6 tries before I actually got to talk to the receptionist. And let me tell you, she is a character. The receptionist is extremely sarcastic when she talks to you and she cuts you off mid sentence. I've called on two separate occasions and both times have been the same. She may think she's being nice but it's very condescending. According to my husband, Dr. Levy was nice and professional, but wasn't able to help my husband with his health concern and ended up referring him to an out of network rheumatologist (even though we got referred to Dr. Levy through providence), so I had to call back to get the receptionist to fax over the visit notes to a Providence office in order to continue my husband's care. While on the phone with the receptionist, she said "what am I doing with this" and I responded "the visit notes need to be faxed" and she said "I'm not talking to you". So while she's on the phone with me, she's having a side conversation with someone else? I hope she faxed over what I needed so I don't have to attempt to call this office again.
