I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Simonds and his entire team. I've been a…read morepatient for nearly five years now, and there's a reason I continue to fly back to North Carolina just to remain an active patient of record -- they're that exceptional. Dr. Simonds is the kind of provider everyone hopes to find: incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely funny, yet also deeply caring and attentive to his patients. His approach is never rushed or impersonal -- you can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about the people he helps. And Hannah, his PA, is an absolute gem. She is supportive, warm, and encouraging in every interaction. I genuinely look forward to our monthly phone appointments, and our in-person visits are always a highlight of my trip. She makes you feel heard, supported, and like you're in the best hands possible. The entire office has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It's rare to find a medical practice that consistently delivers such a positive and caring experience. I appreciate them more than they know -- and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a team that truly treats you like a person, not just a patient.

I've been going to Dr Simonds in Raleigh for a couple of years. I'd previously visited a few other…read moreweight loss centers, and as anyone who's had difficulties, it's not a simple solution to lose weight and you have to be open to a number of options. It's not a matter of "will power" as your body and brain develop a set point and won't let go. I had tried several more traditional options before seeking out Dr Simonds. He knew from my history that I'd probably have to move to drugs. First phentermine/phendramazine then compounded semaglutide. Your body can grow accustomed to the pills but I've lost 30 lbs so far on the senaglutide and kept it off for a year. I'd still like to lose 10 more pounds and then I'll most likely go on maintenance. I've seen a number of their practitioners and they're all good, but NP Michelle Stone is the best. She's a font of health-related knowledge, listens well, and is easy to communicate with. And she's willing to discuss your care with your other practitioners. Based on a previous review, if you don't want to consider the possibility of drug treatment, then Dr.Simonds may not be for you. But if you haven't had success and are open-minded, this clinic may give you the support you need.

What she promised: "A master's degree in your own personal biology"…read more What she delivered: Exactly that. Most doctors are invested in sickcare, not healthcare. Why? Simple: because a patient for life is far more profitable than a patient healed. Follow the money. There are a lot of root causes to this (private equity takeover, Fiat currency, big Pharma, BUCAH) but probably the biggest is the health insurance cartel. The easiest way to spot a good doctor in 2026? Ask "Do you take insurance?" If they say yes, no matter how nice they are and no matter how Hypocratically they approach medicine, it is essential to remember that they are CONTRACTORS and work for the insurance companies, not for their patients. It's an ugly system. Most doctors stuck in it are captives not willing participants. The best ones, however, escape. (By the way, the best patients do too. Check out CrowdHealth) Dr. Brooke and others like her breaking out. Cash pay. No insurance. The incentives are aligned: "I am here to cure Matt, not to get Matt on three prescriptions and semi annual visits for life as his health declines slowly." (And profiting the whole way down.) We went over 100 biomarkers, got a genetics test, a Tiny Health gut test, synthesized it all, and built a plan mapped for ME and my blood, my body and my gut. She's a master of her craft. Looking for an awesome Functional MD in South Wake County? Congrats. Ya found her.

It is four years later and I'm still living an active life at 61 PAIN FREE! I am thankful all the time for the healing I received from his practice. He's a good and trustworthy Doctor, a rare find!!

I was at the Diet and Fitness Center (DFC) for over 6 weeks. I had come to DFC with medical…read moreconcerns and had been very overweight. DFC helped me to lose a lot of weight. This was really important to me and therefore I think my stay was, overall, a success. DFC is a great program on paper (lots of quality people, good food, not a fad diet place at all), but having spent a pretty long time there, I now feel that the program itself has some serious issues which cannot be ignored. There shortcomings involved the staff, including the Director (Dr. Sha), facilities, and even fellow patients. DFC patients plan all of their daily meals based on their recommended calorie intake. So, the meals served at DFC are key ingredients in your potential success. Imagine my surprise when I encountered the incompetence of the cafeteria staff who served us our calorie-controlled DFC meals! There were, routinely, foul-ups of the portions or the foods we had calculated following DFC protocols. Sometimes food offered on the menu was out-of-stock, sometimes the wrong quantities were given, sometimes the cafeteria servers did not know what to do. I pointed out these concerns to the staff but pretty much nothing got fixed. It was distressing. The gym facilities include a variety of workout machines and a salt-water pool. The salt-water was a nice surprise, which I enjoyed. The gym machines (which are heavily used), however were not the most modern or up-to-date. I work out at a gym where I live in the midwest and I was surprised to see that several pieces of equipment are more modern than what DFC has. In addition, I had reported a hygiene problem concerning the presence of little black flies in the showers in the mens' locker room to staff, including to Dr. Sha, but even after several weeks, the flies were still there. While many DFC patients are serious about losing weight and provide a supportive group atmosphere, others can become a little frustrated and try to undermine other patients' success. I, unfortunately, encountered this situation more than once. For instance, after I had started to lose significant amounts of weight, other program participants asked me to my face "why" I was at DFC and whether I belonged there. I replied that I had the same reason for being at DFC as they did, namely to develop healthy lifestyle patterns and improve my health. Many of the staff at DFC are really good, and contribute to a strong program with excellent support for those trying to lose weight. The nutrition department staff, for instance, serve as solid resources for any questions about food and are highly motivated. There are, however, shortcomings at DFC about which people need to be aware. Housing Tip: DFC does not provide housing, so one has to shop around for housing in Durham. Trinity Commons is right nearby DFC, but you over-pay for being able to walk to DFC. Other accommodations in Durham offer more things for the same, or lower, price, and also provide daily shuttles to DFC.

A good, medically reviewed program but not for everyone…read more First let me say that the staff are very professional and the program is medically sound. Not a fad diet program. That said, the program may be frustrating for those who are younger, are a bit more physically active already, or not as overweight. The number of exercise classes could be increased to provide more options for those seeking a more challenging or intense work out. There are some good ones(boot camp, cardio circuit etc.) The lectures are helpful-especially regarding nutrition/portions/restaurant meals but if you are there for more then 2 weeks the classes repeat and it would be nice to have a greater number of offerings. Classes geared to the specific needs of younger clients would also be welcome. I found that I had a lot of down time and would have liked more structure. If you are not someone who will say "I have 3 hours of free time-I guess I should get on the treadmill or go swim some laps" you'll end up not doing much. Also-I understand that it is a temporary situation but sharing the facility with the Duke health and fitness center was annoying at times. For a younger person it gave the impression that you were in an assisted living/ retirement community. Not exactly a high energy vibe. Food is better then one might expect but there was always a off putting order in the dinning room that reminded me of hospital or other institutional kitchens. I'm not sure how to prevent that(more ventilation?) but it was really bothersome. Again, the program worked and I did lose lbs while there, and its a program that is realistic for maintaining at home, but if you're going to spend a lot of money and take time off it would be nice to have a more current and energizing feel. The atmosphere seemed more like a nursing home at times(why are there tables w/ jigsaw puzzles?)The class could be updated and expanded. Also-avoid staying at the Trinity Commons. While they are lovely units and conveniently located the manger seemed too aggressive and was uncomfortable to be around.
