"I selected this practice due to the great reviews. \nI just wanted a simple physical. \n\nBecause I could not afford the $3,000+/year concierge service, I accepted referral to another doctor. \nNo problem, only I first had to meet twice with a PA (Norm?) before I could even see her. \n\nSo this PA orders over $1,000 worth of blood tests and when I return to review them: #1 - the guy is completely unfamiliar with my results or me\n#2 - cannot interpret the results other than the summaries already written on them\n#3 - cannot even field simple questions about what the tests were or some of the results!\nHonestly, I was wondering if this guy ever even took a science class, it was THAT embarrassing. \nAnd just to be clear, I was VERY nice & patient with him, since I figured I'd eventually see this dcotor anyway. \n\nThe visit resumes with this guy recommending several hundred dollars worth of hcg for me! Yes, they are peddling hcg! \n\nI then finally got to see the doctor and a nutriitionist, and guess what - they are recommending hcg too! I'm not sure how a licensed doctor or nutritionist becomes an hcg salesperson, but OK. \n\nThat made me remember how many people had come in to buy products during the 3 separate times I waited for 2 dr. visits & blood tests. \n\nI do not mind pricy blood tests & will tolerate a clueless PA, but at the end of all this I smply wanted a good licensed physician to give me sound medical advice, so I was VERY disappointed that my experience made me feel more like a sales prospect than a patient. \n\nEven worse, my O.B. took me off everything Lifescape recommended since it was all considered risky and without proven, long-term health benefits. Even better, I brought her thise blood tests & I had NOTHING WRONG! \n\nI hope others have a better experience than I did."^^ . .
