I sought Envita out for Lyme disease, Bartonella, and CIRS treatment. I was pleasantly surprised that they were open to answering all of my questions prior to coming out for treatment. Their staff, with the exception of the cocky, defensive office manager, (PCC, doctors, nurses, front desk, lab) are very caring and deserve kudos for that. They are understaffed though. I did ask the office manager about this, and he came out and admitted it. That is a huge problem. It taxes the doctors and especially the nurses, and then trickles down to the patient. The major problem I encountered is that I had to constantly have my protocol adjusted, because they try to shove it all within 3 months time. I was extremely sick before going to Envita. I was bedridden 98% of the time. My first day was 7 hours long. Thats a lot to do coming from doing almost no activity to 7 hours a day. Then my days kept getting longer and longer; 10, 10 1/2, 12, 13 hour days. What they dont tell you is that there are outside detox and pain and neural regeneration that they want you to do on your own time. Lymph massage, colonics, Ketamine. I could never get what I needed done AND do treatment without becoming utterly exhausted, both mind and body. I kept having to tell them they have to go slow with me. I could not do those kinds of hours, AND add detox at home (Epsom Salt Baths and enemas). I never had time to cook and therefore eat anything that wasnt in bar form. To their credit they did keep changing my protocol to make it as short as possible, but it still wasnt working out for me. My Herx reactions were violent, mentally. I had several mental breakdowns. My 72 year old Dad had to come back out to help me. The first day of treatment he was there, it was a 10 hour day, and he commented how ridiculous that was. It got worse; for him, me, and my dog. We had all had enough. I was being pushed through treatment too hard and too fast, no matter what they took off my protocol. In my personal opinion, this is not a treatment for everyone, especially those like me who are so ill they cannot get out of bed most of the day. I did see some patients who did well. Everyone is different. They claim they dont do an approach that isnt individualized, but they do. Its the same treatment for everyone. That is what is wrong with Envita. You cannot treat Lyme disease and its coinfections in 3 months time with everyone. We are all different. Our bodies react differently to treatments. It became very clear that there is an administrative agenda to push patients through hard and fast with the same treatments for everyone. They are very expensive. My treatment cost started at around $70,000 and ballooned past $100,000, not counting living expenses and outside treatments and labs. I would have been out of money had I stayed, but that clearly wasnt why I had left. If I was certain that their treatments were going to work without making me mentally and physically exhausted, I would have stayed. I left at the start of week 6. It wasnt for me. It probably isnt for people that have long term chronic Lyme disease. I have had Lyme disease and Bartonella for 15 years, which made me more susceptible to neurological issues and mental problems. You just cannot push a sick person as hard as they do at Envita. That amount of physical and emotional turmoil wasnt worth it to me. I will say they truly do want to help people, but they cant do it in that timeframe for the very ill. Its just not possible, in my opinion. Two and a half stars is my rating.

"The Best Of The Best" After years of frustration and being told be traditional medicine doctors that I had various things such as "Lupus, MS and Hepatitis C". I arrived at Evita Medical Center September 12, 2016 for a nearly eight week stay. During my stay I received from 4 to 7 IV treatments everyday. I believe the IRAD treatments were the "silver bullet" for me. I am now back home and my health is still improving. Friends from home asked "what did you do all that time" my response is when you go to Envita healing becomes your job, it is liking going to work every day five days a week and then resting up on the weekend. My advice to anyone going to Envita "do eveything the staff tells you to do, if there is anything you are uncomfortable with talk it over with your patient care coordinator" the doctors and staff have well researched reasons for everything they do. The doctors and staff were all wonderful.

If anyone is fighting cancer my suggestion is too atleast get a second opinion from Envita Medical Ctr., in Scottsdale Az. For my husband he didnt want to go until....Tx drs told him ....we have nothing else to try and you have no more than 6-9 mos...it is truly fascinating with scientific research to their method to back with over 15 yrs experience in not just managing but curing deadly terminal cancers. My husband is one of them. Mike had Renal Cell Carcinoma metastasis to his lungs. His prognosis was grim and treatments options minimal after surgery and losing one kidney. After 4 1/2 mos of treatment in Envita he was showing great signs of a partial remission and today is working toward a full remission and nearly there. What a testament to Envita Medical Ctr! Thank you Envita for your assistance and care of my husband but mostly for saving his life!

I have been going to Envita for the past 5 years and could not be more grateful for their services. I heard about Envita from my father-in-law who had received care about 10 years ago for a blood condition. My sister-in-law also had been treated for lyme disease about 6 years ago with great success. Seeing the difference in her health, and life from before her treatments to after her treatments has been a testimony in and of itself. I have since been treated at Envita as well as my son. I am so thankful for a medical center that goes above and beyond in every way to make you comfortable, to take care of your needs, and to get you well. It is a blessing to know these people, they are good people, and I trust them wholeheartedly.

The Envita team is amazing! I have never experienced such quality medical care in my life. I spent 8 weeks in the Envita clinic this past summer, and i continue to be an Envita patient at a distance, as i seek full recovery from home. The medical expertise of the doctors, nurses and medical assistants, as well as the kindness and personalized attention of the patient care coordinators made this difficult journey a time of healing and peace. I would recommend Envita to anyone struggling with Lyme Disease. I believe they are on the cutting edge of the cure, and i have never found better medical treatment than what Envita continues to offer me. May God bless the healing mission of the Envita Medical Centers!

Envita Medical was a lifesaver for me in overcoming Lyme. After 7 years of horrendous pain and 14 years filled with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia my pain levels started to lower two weeks into treatment. Envita Medical in Scottsdale was a life saver for me. That was 4 years ago, I’m still seeing progress! My favorite thing was that they were able to stop the bone pain that had plagued me for so long. After month of not driving I was able to drive myself to the last few days of treatment (2 months later). I have also referred 4 friends and a family member who suffered from chronic fatigue after a brain injury
