When you call they are very nice and will most likely succeed in getting you to hand over your credit card information to pay for the $ 200 «welcome fee». Yea they charge a $ 200 welcome fee (to «cover the processing cost and paper work). it’s the biggest bullshit i’ve ever heard in my life. Thankfully I lied and said I left my credit card in my car and then later sent an email saying their service was out of my price range.
Do you think I ever got an email back saying they understand and will be there to help in the future? HELL NO. This place is def a money making machine.

I was not impressed and felt much worse after the prescribed therapy. My blood test results came back normal, but treatment was recommended without a further holistic approach to determine the cause of my symptoms. I was desperate to feel better so I agreed to the proposed therapy anyway-​hoping for a miracle. It was a waste of money from my perspective. Very nice office staff, but I didn’t feel that the medical staff was overly interested in helping me find the source/​cause of my symptoms. I finally found a primary care provider who was caring and interested in finding the cause of my symptoms. I am finally on my journey to wellness thanks to her and her concern for my health!

As a leukemia survivor with an ovarian failure — post diagnosis after my chemo and a personal struggle for the past 3 years with «holistic», «natural» and «the best bio-​identical» doctors I came across Dr. Mazzei.
First appointment was impressive, but not the giant fee of $ 550 I had to pay. Well, the ads online and the website looked very promising to me so why not spend the money on the «right» person. Well, each additional consultation was going to cost $ 10 per minute, e.g. 15 min– $ 150 and so on…, but hey, if I was so miserable, after all I would spend my everything to pay to «right» person…
Usually holistic practitioners look at the body as a whole and take their time talking and examining you. Well, we certainly had some conversations with the doctor, but every time I asked more questions the talk turned into a different direction and the doctor was very impatient, so… I decided to give it a try– why not– I had spent tons of money on «natural» health care and supplements, so. it was gonna be my last try.
Dr. Mazzei designed a protocol for myself, even though he disagreed with some of it. I followed it for a month and so, and since it was a tricky one I needed to follow up somehow with him. But I was told about his email fees and additional fees… What if I was broke from medical bills and fraud doctors? Does anyone care? Can anyone give a free follow up or every second, every word should be charged???
One is for sure– a holistic practitioner is not cheap, but is not all about the money– patient comes first and the new approach.
So I got a bunch of tests done (some unnecessary, but…) and got the «bio-​identical hormones» and after the first month, I had to take a break and guess what– MY HAIR STARTED SHEDDING. I had already lost my hair during chemo and could not have it happen again. But I remember passing by a couple of his other female patients and their hair looked balding and very thin… so I decided to ask the doctor and the compound pharmacy about the ingredients in those mysterious cremes. THE PHARMACY AND THE DOCTOR DID NOT DISCLOSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS, so pretty much I was applying UNKNOWN TRANSDERMAL CREMES!!! I might have applied some carcinogens on my skin for a month, because they had no labels and no description… NONE.
Dr. Mazzei said that I MIGHT need some further tests done (of course– more money in the pocket), but I had no health insurance for those plus I was going to travel to Europe and have all tests done for free. Dc. Mazzei never replied with details about the tests I needed.
Does anyone see the business side of the whole story, besides me??? Could this be a holistic practitioner who works with patients for hours and monitor closely? Noooo.
I would not reccomend this doctor to anyone, my hardship did not improve with my visits at this office, on the contrary– it has been 5 months now and I am not sure about the chemicals I had given as «BIO Identical», but my hair keeps on shedding like crazy, my hormones are not balanced and i feel very disappointed form the service. Thank you.

After months of trying to get a handle on my post-​hysterectomy funk, I logged into the BodyLogicMD site and found Dr. Mazzei. My normal OB/​GYN had me on Premarin which did absolutely nothing for my night sweats, sleeplessness and complete lack of libido. Within weeks of receiving testosterone pellets, DHEA and progesterone cream, I was back to feeling my old self — with renewed energy and libido. After several months, I am walking & running back at my normal level and the post-​hysterectomy weight is coming off. Thanks Dr. Mazzei!
