Reviews
"When you seek out a brilliant mind to entrust your loved one’s life with, you get brilliant results. Forever grateful to Dr Harvey and is amazing staff."
"My blood lead level of 35.3 was 10 times higher than the government defined “safe” level. Finding an MD to help, especially within the US medical system, was virtually impossible. I was relieved to find Dr. Harvey and have found confidence in his knowledge and experience to address the issue. He has not only provided both IV and oral chelation paths for reducing lead levels (both have been effective) but addressed other physiological imbalances as well. There is much to appreciate (especially with reduction of heavy metals, which often correlate with anger and emotional distress)."
"I have been working with Dr. Harvey for over 5 years and the outcomes have been life-changing. Before starting his program, I was suffering from several chronic and potentially debilitating conditions that were worsening over time. Rather than simply writing multiple prescriptions and sending me on my way (like most doctors), Dr. Harvey invested significant time (hours during the initial intake) in fully understanding my symptoms, physiology, family history and diet. This was then supplemented by extensive testing, providing a very data-driven approach. Based on all this, Dr. Harvey was able to create a comprehensive health action plan, which included dietary changes, supplements and lifestyle improvements. The diet adjustments were reasonable, primarily based on data from food sensitivity testing that revealed several foods that created high inflammatory reactions for me. These are unique to my body, eliminating guesswork and recommendations from friends about foods to avoid. This knowledge was incredibly valuable in making easy adjustments. Without this data, I would have been stabbing at causes for my conditions or trying irrelevant remedies that I discovered online. The results have been amazing! My chronic conditions are under control, without the need for additional medications. The most important outcome to me is that I understand the causes, with detailed reports to back that up. Periodic testing then tracks my progress and quickly flags any new conditions. Of course, this type of care and attention requires additional expense beyond my regular health insurance premium. However, for me, this is well worth the long term cost reduction from fewer prescriptions, avoidance of surgeries and chronic condition management. Additionally, I have peace of mind, by understanding exactly where my health stands, with plenty of data to reference should I need to see when I get off track. I cannot recommend Dr. Harvey's expertise and holistic health approach enough."
"NEVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED! Let me first say that I am graduating from alternative medicine school in October. So I am familiar with the holistic medicine and wellness space. I came to Dr. Harvey for a consultation on chelation (heavy metal detox) due to high mercury levels. On my intake call with the nurse I explained that I already have a naturopathic doctor as well as an acupuncturist who is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. I was told by my naturopath to find a clinic that would do chelation. She understood and told me I would speak to the Dr. about a plan of action. I also explained to her that I wasn’t looking to pay for expensive programs and just needed the treatment done. $200 later I came into the appointment with Dr. Harvey. First I would like to point out that I sent bloodwork from 2023-2024, a hormone panel and a Nutra Eval test for mercury, A GI profile and extensive DNA testing that I have had done. The gentleman at the front desk thanked me for being so thorough. When Dr. Harvey entered the room it was as though I was talking to a robot. He has ZERO bedside manner and was suggesting tests and asking questions that I already provided. So he didn’t even take a single look at my health history before our appointment. FIRST RED FLAG! Then he proceeds to try and sell me a $6000 package for a six month wellness program with my chelation all within the first 10 minutes. SECOND RED FLAG! I explained to him that I also explained to the intake nurse that this is not what I needed. He then tried to sell me a one time chelation with his “expert advice and consult” which would cost $2000. Mind you one session of chelation therapy is typically around $200. So he was basically charging me $1800 for his “expert advice”. At this point I became extremely frustrated. I explained to him that I am graduating from school in October and THIS IS THE PROBLEM with some of the doctors in the holistic wellness space. Individuals who are sick like me get taken advantage of by doctors who want to inflate prices and offer expensive programs for treatment. At no point did he act like he really cared about my health and well-being. He was very dismissive, condescending and passive aggressive with his responses. I have been dealing with health issues for over 10 years and have been in the holistic wellness space for over 4 years and I HAVE NEVER MET A DOCTOR AS RUDE AND CALCULATING AS HIM. He just wants your money. Bottom line!! Luckily I work in this space so I have the sense to understand what he was trying to do but why I became so angry is because most other people don’t. People like him are the reason that patients typically do not go the alternative medicine route. They charge expensive fees and manipulate patients into believing they care. WHEN THEY DON’T!!!!! THIS DOCTOR DOES NOT CARE! HE WANTS YOUR MONEY!!!! That is all. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!! TRUST ME!!!!"
"P.S. - Doctor Harvey, I wanted you to know that I am feeling absolutely great. I get a good night's sleep, my weight is 169-171, down approximately 35 pounds from my pre- surgical level, resting pulse rate in the 50's, bodily functions working properly, I go to work from 9AM - 7:00 PM, five to six days / week, with none of the previous experiences of exhaustion or energy drop off, still working on Italian language studies 1-2 hours each day, physically and mentally, doing extremely well. I believe you, your staff and your program have provided me with all of these wonderful outcomes and wished to let you know how grateful I am and to thank you. At the same time, and especially at this stage of my life, I am fully aware there are more things that will need to be addressed to maintain this quality of life. I'm in!! Let's keep it going!! You guys are great! Thank you again, Doctor Harvey and staff! Bud Root"
