Stop charging me!

Charged for services not rendered
This company has charged us for blood tests that we have never gotten. We have been phoning them for 3 months explaining that we were charged for something we did not have. Each time they say they will take care of it, but never do. When we call back we always get a different person, usually from some phone center in Florida. They also keep trying to confirm appointments that we have not made….. Once they get your information, you can not get rid of them. Dealing with this company is horrible…. do not go to them.

treatment made symptoms worse
In July of 2010, I went to one of Bodylogicmd's doctors to discuss a wellness program to help me maintain or improve my state of health. I had minor symptoms of perimenopause, and a "sluggish" thyroid that had been treated by a endocrinologist for twenty years. I was switched to a natural thyroid hormone from my synthetic synthroid and told that it would likely give me more energy and be much better for my body. Additionally, I was given prescriptions for natural progesterone and testosterone creams. In July, my thyroid function tested normally. By November, it tested off the charts hypothyroid (low - over TEN times the normal reading). I was tired, my libido was zero, and my hair was breaking off. On my own volition, I discovered that the compounding pharmacy substituted a product for the natural Armour thyroid hormone after the first month due to supply problems, which they said would probably persist due to the way it is distributed. Bodylogic's doctor had no idea that this happened and he did not intend to test me for three months (allowing my thyroid function to plummet unnoticed, except by me!)
I switched to a different Bodylogicmd doctor at this time and at my initial consultation, it was apparent that he was just reading my chart for the first time (he seemed surprised when he noticed the out of balance thyroid report - done for this consultation). We discussed the pharmacy's problems and he put me back on synthroid and added a new pharmaceutical, Cytomel. He started me on 25 mg. After starting this product, my chest started to feel tight and my heart was pounding all the time.
I decided to go to my regular doctor (internist) and try to get this right. In late December, she evaluated more blood tests and told me the Cytomel was way too high and reduced it to 10 mg. I now feel much better. My hair is still thin and I am hoping it will thicken up after a few months.
I still have little libido and will be discussing this with her at my next appointment. The only positive thing I came away with is this addition of Cytomel, just in a reduced amount. I still use the progesterone and testosterone cream, but I don't notice any benefit - in fact I just missed a period for the first time.
I can't believe that either of these doctors treated my thyroid so casually, without a quicker review of the effectiveness of the therapy. This simple procedure would have revealed the imbalance created by the pharmacy.
So after all of this, I would caution anyone about going to a Bodylogicmd doctor. It is EXTREMELY expensive - for my two consultations and blood tests I spent over $1, 000, of which none was covered by insurance (though I knew that going in). I thought it would be worth it to enhance my health. It was not. I played a dangerous game with physicians who really weren't looking out for my best interst. The second one didn't even call me back after I cancelled my follow up appointment. Apparently, they don't even want to know how their "customers" feel about the service rendered.
I don't now if there is a fountain of youth, but I didn't find it at Bodylogicmd.
