I came here because I was working with a previous holistic health clinic that drained me of my savings. I had lost a lot of weight using the recommendations of that doctor but it all piled back on because the diet was unsustainable. Because I could not afford out of pocket charges that high, I decided to look for alara health because my insurance accepts it. Working with the doctor and the nutritionist is very slow Even though they're very nice and considerate. They're both great listeners and empathetic to the issues that women face. But the slowness of treatment is almost to much. I mean not only are they slowly ramping up treatment, but they also have a lot of time space between their appointments. They say that you can reach out to customer service to look for sooner appointment, but customer service often takes two weeks or more to reply to my questions or request for appointment scheduling assistance. They're either understaffed or not properly trained. Even though my insurance accepts this, I don't think it's going to be helpful in treating my issues because of how slow things are going. By the time I get to see the doctor, almost two months have passed with no improvement. I've gotten all the lab work done and still don't have a better idea of what's going on. That can be very frustrating and a lot can happen or get worse in that time. Also I cannot reach the doctor directly. I often have to go through many hurdles to reach her, and usually the hurdles are with customer service. If you're used to regular doctor's office where you'll call the front desk and ask when they're available appointments, and you like that type of service, don't go with this. I think they tried to modernize to health care system, but they have a ton of issues with their operations. I would not be surprised if I ended up getting another doctor and nutritionalist because both mine could quit because this is not sustainable for them or for patients.

The clinician was nice but honestly I gained absolutely nothing from the experience. She requested a bunch of labs to be drawn and once results came back, she told me why she ordered them, and that there was nothing “wrong” and she couldn’t do anything else for me. She said I needed nutritional changes even thought we had discussed all of the changes I had already implemented. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. A total waste of money.

I have struggled with PCOS for 10 years. I was hopeful for this company, but was pushed the same medication all the other docs I have seen focused on. No mention of nutrition and how to manage things outside of medication. I was super disappointed. :(

I have struggled with PCOS for years, particularly with acne and stubborn weight. The doctor I met with spent our consultation time focusing on what medications I could take to address my acne/high testosterone, with no time spent talking about any holistic options. I had to ask and push in order for her to finally acknowledge that medications were not my ONLY option and that high testosterone could be managed by lifestyle and diet changes. It felt like I was meeting with my old dermatologists and gynecologists all over again. Maybe this was just her approach to getting me to sign up for the program (I only got the initial labs/consultation), but I just really didn’t feel heard. I was excited that Allara offered both western + eastern approaches to managing PCOS, but this doctor stood solely in the western, and I already have those doctors! Reviewing my labs with her gave some helpful insights, but overall I do not feel comfortable continuing with Allara.
