Sadilek Bruce

I went to «Dr» Sadilek in hopes that a naturopathic doctor might have some insight on my chronic indigestion and horrible depression that coincides with the digestive episodes. I’ve been doing research for years in hopes of relief and have seen every type of doctor, gastroenterologist, therapist I could find. I’ve tried supplements and different dietary choices to no avail.
«Dr» Sadilek has no business calling himself a Doctor. He is not an MD, and only trained at a trade school the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. At most he should be using the ND qualification.
He spent no time with me directly at my 250 dollar first appointment. He had an assistant write down my symptoms. He was training her not taking care of me. He didn’t make eye contact a single time with me during the visit.
6 labs were ordered with 6 tubes of blood drawn the same week at a local lab. I waited for a call to go over the labs and nothing from the «Doctors» office. I called the following week and asked about my results. The office receptionist read me my results over the phone in three words, «everything is fine.» I asked for the «doctor» to please review the results with me and plan a course of action given this is related to my first visit. NOPE, unless I booked another appointment he wouldn’t talk to me or go over the tests he order. Instead had his rude, lacking in compassion, and completely untrained receptionist tell me everything is fine. I can assure you everything is not fine. I suffer on a daily basis all day long.
Stay completely away from this money grab operation. Even if the intent isn’t malicious, the complete lack of professionalism and diligence makes it not worth your hard earned money.
I’m out 250 bucks.

Nice enough doctor but he did not do much for me and WATCH OUT, this office will charge you for the air your breath. The initial consultation is over $ 200, I requested food allergy testing but instead of ordering a comprehensive panel, he sent me for a preliminary test, charged me $ 150 for another office visit, only to be told that he needed to order the test I actually requested in the first place. When Dr S called to go over the results… they charged me $ 89 and told me at the end of the visit that the company that provided the test gives a free 30 min consultation to discuss the results… Another completely unnecessary charge!
To top it all off, they gave me a list of questions to ask my insurance carrier to ensure the food allergy test was covered, it appeared to be but somehow I wound up paying $ 280 for that as well. This was a really expensive way to confirm I was allergic to milk!
I love the naturpathic approach but this place seems unethical!

Getting diagnosed with a chronic condition sucks. Getting to visit a handful of awesome docs on regular basis — not so bad. Top on that list? One Dr. Bruce Sadilek, ND.
I didn’t used to pay much attention to my health. My life was on cruise control. That all changed this past fall. Now I see a panel of physicians on a rotating basis. I’m taking a multi-​pronged approach to my health care. I visit conventional western doctors, and I also see Dr. Sadilek for a whole body naturopath treatment perspective.
Each appointment takes just about an hour, which gives me ample time to talk about myself — which of course, I absolutely love. You’ll get about 10 – 15 minutes with a traditional MD, barely enough time to scratch the surface.
Dr. Sadilek himself is extremely fit and healthy — he’s a great role model. His office is very nice and clean, and there are lots of informative reading materials in the waiting room. He has a wonderful nurse, and a great front desk staff. You’ll get an email reminder for your appointments.
Below are some of my thoughts about Dr. Sadilek’s practice.
Clinician
Dr. Sadilek hearts running tests and he tests for everything — your Vitamin D level, food allergies, autoimmune cluster disease panels, and mostly for lots of things I’ve never heard of and completely don’t understand. He’ll send you for x-​rays, to heart specialists — I’ve been all over town for this man, but for myself, really. I have learned more about my body in the last year under his care than I ever knew was possible. It’s a little TMI, but in a good way.
He’s huge on supplements. Make sure you have a list of your everyday regimen — or go hardcore like me and bring in a big azz bag of ALL of the vitamins etc. you are taking. He’ll review them with you and make suggestions. You can also buy many of the items he recommends right in his office, although I have found some of them for less on Amazon.
Teacher
Dr. Sadilek almost always is working with a trainee, a future naturopath. It’s amazing to watch him relate to his student. He is a master educator. I like that I’m getting dual perspectives and double input on visits. If you are comfortable, Dr. Sadilek will have his student perform some of your physical exam. They are always excellent and thorough, but f you don’t want a student involved in your appointment, you could just let Dr. Sadilek know.
Cost
It’s pricey, but worth every penny. This is your health we are talking about, after all. I believe my initial appointment was $ 220 and followups are about $ 130.
Insurance
Dr. Sadilek’s office will submit your visit to your insurance company for reimbursement, however most will not cover a visit to a naturopath. The good news is that they will pay for the visits he sends you out for — blood tests, heart tests, x-​rays, etc. I’ve paid some small co-​pays, but my insurance has picked up the rest.
If you, or someone you love is facing a health condition, I can’t recommend Dr. Sadilek any more highly. He offers the best diagnostics and treatment available.
