Dr. Ridha Arem, MD 7501 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77054

"I have been a patient of Dr. Arem’s for 12 years! He has followed me since my thyroid cancer diagnosis in 2010, subsequent surgery, and radiation treatment. Prior to the scary surgery and careful selection of the best surgeon for my case, he took the time to review my scans and provide a second opinion even when I was having my surgery at UCLA. He listens to my concerns, I never feel rushed or ignored and his attention is focused with great discovery questions. He takes copious notes and is an incredible investigator. He never rushes to conclusions, assumptions or lumps my case in with others. He allows the labs and the physical exam to tell him the story and he goes from there with a recommended treatment plan. He is also a doctor who believes in a holistic approach to healing. It is not just about meds and supplements. He believes in proper nutrition, exercise, rest, and meditation. He promised to stick right by me and to provide care to the best of his ability and he has been true to his word. Under normal circumstances I have felt better than most people with a thyroid gland and I have not had to deal with the trauma I hear so many people deal with like balancing meds and getting a doctor to dig deep when one is feeling horrible and visibly impaired by excessive low energy, weight issues, etc. My only concern is that he retires without a ready protégé or mentee. I also mention that he has outstanding tenure among his medical staff. This alone speaks volumes! I highly recommend Dr. Arem and have referred many people who like me travel to Houston from out of state and out of the country. Thank you Dr. Arem for helping me sustain a good quality of life when the odds were against me. Thank you to the warm and friendly staff who have always been responsive when I call and have excellent followup skills."

"He is a rip off. Charges like for helicopter ride and provides nothing to show for it. Misdiagnosed me with graves when I had Hashimoto all of my life and wanted to nuke my thyroid when I needed actual medical help not destruction of my body. His supplements are pure overpriced scam. I should have known better, he was on Oprah advertising himself, she is a bigger scam and he is! Do yourself a favor, save your money and use it to fly to UCLA or go to one of the teaching hospitals where endocrinologist care and don’t run their patients like business. I hope he is done soon, he is a horrible doctor that makes huge profits off poor sick and desperate patients. When you will argue with his treatment he will dismiss you/fire you from his practice lol. So much for do no harm!"

"I LOVE Thyro Life Optima!! I was feeling awful and discovered I had Hashimoto's Disease. I tried a few different thyroid meds but never felt 100% normal. I started taking Thyro Life Optima and it changed my life!! I was able to function again like a normal person!! I actually felt a difference the day I took it. After a month I added the 7-7 Probiotics!! Dr. Arem's supplements are wonderful!!"

"I have found the ThyroLife Optima with its antioxidants to be very helpful in how I feel. I've always thought my thyroid medicine wasn't working as well as it should and it wasn't making me feel my best, but all the bloodwork results came back "normal". I feel like I've had undiagnosed thyroid problems my entire life and the Thyrolife Optima capsules have made me feel the best I've every felt in my 60 years of life. I don't get tired as easily and have much more energy than I used to. I have also started taking Dr. Arem's Ultra Calcium-D3 since in the past few years I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy (and it may not be that at all and, since I am feeling so much better, I may start to try some dairy products again!). I am very satisfied with Dr. Arem's products and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to feel better and have more energy!"

"I have been taking Dr. Arem's supplements for several years. I order the Thyroid Optima vitamins, Probiotics 7-7, Calcium and Vitamin D supplements and the Liquid Vitamin D drops. They have definitely made a difference in how I feel. I would especially recommend to all Thyroid patients."
