In becoming a patient here I initially loved the idea of a holistic approach to healthcare. However, I was disappointed in my experience here. Perhaps it's a great fit for some, but for those who are considering care here I only thought it fair to share. Upon my first appointment I was weighed, measured, measured again, requested to fill out multiple sets of paperwork in regards to how much money I made and who primarily paid the bills in my household amongst other "health-related" questions. My first appointment left me feeling extremely bothered for the following weeks. I recently lost 10lbs, I work with a health and nutrition coach, I am actively involved in the gym 3-4 days a week with circuit training. I was told within this appointment, without request for counsel, that I need to make sure my waistline stays under 29 inches, my fat percentage at 28% was "high" and I needed to focus on lowering it. In addition, I was told that my body age was twice the amount of my true age. Understandably because of the high cost causing lower patient volume than the other larger healthcare systems, I do understand the need for a different approach in marketing. However, I noticed throughout my appointment I was pressured into believing I needed to invest in more, more, more with this establishment, because I "needed to improve". When in reality I was here for a simple preventive, annual exam. I understand some women may want this guidance, however I also believe this process can be psychologically damaging to others. Perhaps in the future True can develop a more personalized and encouraging approach in asking women what they're really looking for out of the care they receive here instead of forcing these things to become a part of their visit if they're unwarranted. read more
