  was very disappointed with my experience. I paid over $700 for two appointments, in addition to significant lab costs. For that price, I expected clear, well-reasoned recommendations and a thoughtful plan that fully incorporated the labs we had already drawn. I also expected to meet with a provider who was prepared and organized. My first appointment was a consultation. I had sent my blood work in advance, but it was clear the provider had not reviewed it prior to the visit, as I had to pull everything up and walk through the results during the appointment myself. I assumed the second appointment would be better and confirmed with the office the day before that all labs had been received. Unfortunately, the second visit was similarly disorganized. Much of the appointment was spent reviewing labs in a haphazard way, which gave me little confidence that they had been reviewed beforehand. One test that was run accidentally was unfamiliar to the provider, and I had to explain what it was based on my own research. I would have expected a provider to review and understand all test results prior to meeting with a patient. Many of the recommendations felt speculative rather than evidence-based—suggestions to pursue hundreds of dollars more in testing despite no data pointing toward those conditions. Other recommendations consisted largely of supplements and cleanses that could conveniently be purchased through the office. When I asked about non-supplement alternatives (diet, lifestyle, etc.), those options felt secondary, and the overall approach seemed to default to taking a large number of pills rather than offering a clear, structured plan. Additionally, when I mentioned that I am considering Accutane, I felt judged rather than supported. During my first appointment, I was also recommended a supplement that is known to negatively impact acne, despite acne being one of my primary concerns. In the second appointment, the provider doubled down on this recommendation, suggesting it might help acne, which is very unlikely according to available evidence and was directly contradicted by my dermatologist, who advised against it unless I have a severe deficiency. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations given the cost. I did not feel the care was sufficiently prepared, evidence-based, or personalized to my goals. That said, everyone there was nice. I just expect more from folks when I’m paying $700+

  The doctor was fabulous. He immediatly make a connection and then explained complicated results. He included my daughter who was with me. Cleared up several questions.

  Dr Siebold was late due to a previous appt that went over quite a bit which was not a problem for me but then my session w/him was shorter tho I think I could have gone another 10 min. But we basically covered what was needed and got to some next steps to resolve current issues I brought up. My previous Forum Health practitioner would pro-rate appts that were less than 1 hr which was helpful, wish they did that at this office. I think my appt was about 45 min. Since paying out of pocket for visits, details let me that can help. All that aside, I like Dr Siebold and we get along fine. He's a good listener.

  I'm just starting my diagnosis and treatment with this group, but I want to share my journey with them to share cost > experience > process & plan of treatment. Lyme and co infections Bacteria virus parasite First- I’m not into hippie & I’m not into non proven medical practices, but I’m also open to non traditional practices. I’m not rich so a doctor outside of my insurance was a little scary. Whatever I pay towards feels like a gamble. I had great reviews for this office and both Dr. Peterson and Seibold. I'm still taking my time to trust they can cure me but so far my experience’s been positive. Details of a few areas below. 1) customer experience: Office manager Meghan/ Megan was soooo sweet & also soo knowledgeable. Even after my appt with the doc, she answered in-depth medication questions I expected the doc to only know. She wasn't B'sing either. 2) Blood work & check in done by Vicki/Vicky. It was the smoothest & painless I've done. I usually pass out or get dizzy. She warmed a pad for me, chairs were comfy & she was so sweet. 3) Dr. Seibold sat with me an entire hour! Ok that alone was such a valuable experience. someone care and listen. I've felt so passed off by Dr. Berman at Uof U. but Seibold shared that even when he practiced in traditional medicine he would have passed me along too because that's how they are taught so they don't know other forms of treatment for bacterial, nuero, fungal viral etc. Seibold said he’s been practicing more whole body care integrative medicine for a few yrs but used to be a traditional nuts & bolts type doc. Lyme journey I've gone the traditional route was referred by my GP at UofU for a lumber puncture & MRI even though I've been sick for so long. He saw the tick that bit me & still didn't order tests. I may spend less here than what I'd pay for normal out of pocket limit with my insurance, which is 9k. I think I could save money too if I lower my current premium with my insurance.; if these treatments work. I'm still at the testing but I'll report back to share info on future experiences. Seibald shared science backed options that were non traditional and also uses traditional approaches for Lyme, such as antibiotics. Now these treatments aren't cheap but so far I'm thinking it will be less than my out of pocket limit. They have things I didn't need like weight loss stuff but they didn't make me feel bad for not being into or needing it. Just stay your course. They do a lot of stuff and don’t get sucked into any up sell unless you are financially fluid. Insurance: Most things are not covered by insurance, but they will try to help get tests covered if possible.
