Worst front office! After repeatedly calling to get details on becoming a new patient or getting Iv treatments, I finally got through. I spoke with the IV nurse Debbie who offered great treatment details but was transferred back to the front reception for pricing and procedures about scheduling. I called back next day to schedule - again I had to call several times since they don't often answer phones after noon. The rudest receptionist answered and rambled off details about getting a referral from my previous doctor for UBI. It was the opposite of what I was told the day before. I asked her to repeat herself and got a big sigh. She didn't give me her name and rushed off the phone - beyond unprofessional! It's sad that potentially great doctors have such bad front office staff... and often never see or read reviews that could help to improve these issues. read more

I can sure relate to a lot of the comments I see here for this place!! I felt Dr. Sherman was aloof and uncommunicative during our appointment. Additionally, after a very expensive appointment and detailed discussion regarding several serious health issues I'm dealing with, he only ordered a basic blood panel. I was treated very poorly by his medical assistant (Rama) for trying to include more tests (which later proved beneficial) in my lab order. Some of the front office staff members were extremely rude and unprofessional and Dr. Wright's assistant (Virginia) was snooty and unhelpful when I requested her help. According to front office staff, Dr. Wright said I was not allowed to see any doctors there in the future (apparently based upon whatever they told him). Really a bad experience with this group and their unprofessional and unethical practices. UPDATE: I found out after I left a review of my experience on Tahoma Clinic's Facebook page that they immediately removed the entire section of reviews. This just seems to support my opinion that some of them are unethical and want to hide their poor behavior. read more

Not sure about the 1 star reviews. None said whether they were actually helped or not. Just complained about the office staff n various doctors. My experience was amazing and my issues were resolved or in my control. U don't hv to purchase their supplements and I live in another state now but can still get my HRT via phone n local doctor testing. I am more than happy with the results and could care less about personalities or perceived rudeness. I would spend money again and again to be helped finally. read more

My last experience at the Tahoma Clinic was mixed. I went for an initial visit with Dr. Cristina Persa. For a follow up I chose to do a half hour phone appointment. I ended up being charged $60 more than what I was told the fee would be. I called the office and was told they were working on it. After a total of at least 3 phone calls, all I ever received was an e-mail from her assistant asking for a testimonial. I sent an honest e-mail about my experience and never received any feedback to my e-mail. This would have been a 4 star review if there had been communication on their part and resolution of being overcharged. I have been there before to see Dr. Lauren Russel who was genuine. Integrity, communication and follow through is crucial in business if you want customers to come back. More education and degrees is no excuse for dishonesty. read more

Be prepared to spend thousands of dollars in this place in a very short time. The doctor's rates rival those of attorneys and they try to get you in there regularly. Then they send you next door to their dispensary to spend another $300 or so on supplements. I saw people loaded up with way more than I had; I can only imagine how much they were spending. It is incredibly easy to spend $600 to $800 PER VISIT. Everything is out of pocket, they do not take insurance. At one point, I needed a new prescription for HRT. My doctor REFUSED to give it to me until I had a phone conversation with her. This consisted of her telling me dosages and how to apply it, all of which were on the labels of the prescriptions. For this 13 minute conversation I was charged $89. The office manager said she "went to bat" for me and tried to get me a 10 minute appointment for $60 instead but the powers that be were having none of it and I was forced to pay the higher amount. They literally held my prescription hostage for $89. I was stunned by their greed. They also insist their tests are superior. She had me do a $210 saliva test for hormones, insisting it was better than blood testing. (Search this for yourself; I could find nothing that said saliva tests were superior to blood tests for anything but cortisol.) The $210 was out of pocket, if I'd done blood work, it would have cost me about $25 through insurance. I did another test for allergies, again not covered by insurance and costing $300. The problem is, if you haven't eaten a food for a long time it won't show up as an issue. So, it's really not a terribly helpful test, although it is terribly expensive. I then did a stomach acid (Heidelberg) test because she had it on her list of things to do. After I spent $220 on that, I was told it's not a very useful test. They have ZERO interest in controlling costs. JUST to get my hormones tested and a new prescription was $500. The test was $210, the unnecessary conversation was $89 and the hormones were $195. This after I told my doc I was taking the money I was paying her out of my retirement funds. The most bizarre thing is, the doc now insists and I mean insists I need a vaginal ultrasound before she'll further address my hormone issues. This despite the fact that because of the HRT she has put me on, I now have headaches, insomnia, and severe dry eye. Her rationale for the ultrasound is she needs to "see if there have been changes to my endometrium". Except she has NOTHING TO COMPARE IT TO. She then told me she was sorry, but she can't prescribe me any further hormones until I give her an UP TO DATE vaginal ultrasound, as if that is something you just do yearly, as opposed to a diagnostic tool for things like irregular bleeding. I did find a Swedish study on line that could find no discernible difference in the endometriums of women who were on HRT and those who were not. So, she's telling me to go get an unnecessary ultrasound that will cost me $450, then come see her which will cost me another $300. BEFORE SHE WILL LIFT A FINGER TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUES THE PRESCRIPTIONS SHE GAVE ME HAVE CAUSED SHE WANTS ME TO SPEND $750. I will give her this. She did diagnose me with candida, which led me to a book called Eat Wheat by John Douillard. The book isn't really about eating wheat, but it does lay out a really good case for the fact that if there are all these foods you can't eat and you used to be able to, it's because you have issues with your entire digestive system which can be addressed. As opposed to the Tahoma Clinic, which promotes the idea that you just need to take HCI for the rest of your life. I really wish I had read Eat Wheat BEFORE I dropped around $3,000 at the Tahoma Clinic. I'm convinced it's just a giant money making machine. Proceed at your own risk. You've been warned. read more

At age 63 I am healthy and energetic. Strongly believe I could not have accomplished this without Dr. Wright. My first visit was in 2003 and that was the beginning of restoration of my health. Indeed one must be one's advocate but I have tremendous confidence in Dr. Wright. I'm sure I would have had to undergone surgeries had it not been for him finding root causes and then simple solutions that does not require knives and prescription drugs. This is not your typical clinic where doctors spend no more than 15 minutes on you and fill your medicine cabinets with harmful medications. I consider myself lucky to have Dr. Wright as my doctor. read more

This wholistic healing clinic has long been controversial. On my personal journey through the "medical funnel" of breast Cancer, I found this place a haven of alternative medicine that works fabulously along side Western medicine. Be your own best advocate and check all possibilities to heal the body, with the least invasive options. I combined the knife with the herb and am looking at 3 years cancer free, with gratitude! read more

Tahoma clinic had changed out lives. They are by far the platinum standard in health care. Gratitude for being able to work with their team to find the cause of health issues not just put a band aide on it. read more

We've been using their pharmacy for the last few years for our supplements. Last week after spending $300, I discovered the Sage liquid drops were terrible. I've been using Sage for quite some time and this bottle was bad. Tasted like vinegar & alcohol. I took it back, but because it wasn't out of date, I was told , we can't return it to them, so we won't help you out. I'm sure I paid quite a bit more at retail then they did at wholesale, but the manager was adamant that she thought I was wrong & wouldn't issue even a partial refund. I ws very disappointed in their customer service. If my family hadn't been such a good customer, returning again & again, I might not have been so upset. I'll be using online & a few of the other health food stores much more often. read more

This is the only homeopathic clinic Ive been to, so I dont really have anything else to compair it to. Ive been with them a long time, so obviously theres some things I like about it, but they dont seem very organized. They always get me in when I need to though, and somehow it all works out... read more

Listen, I could rattle on about how expensive they are, how brusque and rude they are, how they nickel and dime you for lots of "additional costs" for BS add-ons, how they order a bunch of costly tests and then charge you extra on top of it just to review your test results, how they will refuse to release your own medical records to you without paying for that privilege, etc. But all you really need to know is these people are a bunch of unethical, money-grubbing quacks looking to profit from other people's misery. read more

Absolutely the best. I live in NM but was seen there for some issues western medical docs only wanted to throw pills at...the staff and Doctor Sherman were professional kind and thorough..............excellent. They get down to what is causing the problem..............not just cover up symptoms........love them!! read more

Finding the Tahoma Clinic saved my life! The local doctors literally told me to go somewhere else as my condition was not something they had seen before, and the specialists I tried wanted to cut out the nerves and muscles to my foot, and take chemo that when I read about it, was contraindicated for my conditions, experimental (and I wasn't told that!). They literally took the best look I've ever had a doctor take of my whole body's health, went for the source problems, not the symptoms. I returned to better than ever health, and now find they are expert in keeping me there, fine-tuning my lifestyle changes, dietary changes, and nutritional/supplements as needed, My husband was so very impressed he asked to be a patient too after seeing how they approached my health. Every doctor I've seen there has given me jewels of information, wisdom, and help. Every person I meet that is in despair over their health, I say "don't give up until you try them" and no one has ever complained I sent them there, instead they are grateful and empowered to achieve their health goals! Really worth it! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Gaston at the Redmond location for almost a year now and so happy I found him. I had seen four diffident doctors prior to finding Dr. Gaston and had zero success with the others. I like his approach to researching and finding out the root causes to my issues, and doing multiple tests to pinpoint what was going on. The previous Dr's only did blood-work on me which doesn't tell the whole story. The testing he did (and continues to do) has helped me start on a better path to healing and feeling better. When I first started at the clinic I was feeling really bad in many ways; my hormone levels and thyroid were off but none of the other Dr's were able to help like Dr. Gaston has. Although it takes time to heal the body I feel so much better! The office staff is so nice and they are always on time with all my appointments, and very organized. I will continue to come here for all my healthcare needs. Highly recommended! read more

If you are considering using the Tahoma Clinic for your health care needs, make sure you find out how much your initial appointment is going to cost. I had an appointment at 10 AM yesterday, was not seen until 10:30, and found out at the end of my appointment that it was going to cost $299.00. I was never informed of the cost, or I would have not made the appointment in the first place. When I called to speak with a manager, I was put on hold for about 4 minutes, and was then disconnected. When I called back, I was told to put it in writing. If this is the standard of care at the Tahoma Clinic, it might be a good idea to keep looking folks. read more
