Wow. So I visited this establishment a few months back b/c a friend suggested it. From the moment I pulled up, I was uncomfortable. The nurse (cant remember if she was a NP or a RN) was outside fiddling in her new BMW and just watched me in my car as I gathered my belongings to go in. Weird, but whatever. The inside is quaint. Clean. Cute. My main concern as a medical professional was that they had no idea what the hell they were talking about! I wish I would have recorded the "nurses" responses to my medically questions. Without a doubt, laughably. I scared her off unintentionally because she NEVER came back into the room! Too add, the tech or whatever she called herself did NOT know or understand what I was asking as I used medical jargon. I cant remember what the conversation consisted of and I want to be truthful so I will just say that. I was thinking, "O no maam, you will NOT touch me and you dont even know what subcutaneous means!" All in all, it just felt like some illegal joint around the way. Not no mention they force you to use PINEY POINT pharmacy. WHY? Is that not illegal? I wasted my time and $$ here but you live and learn, right? I would never suggest this place to my patients!!!! Just be very careful and do your research ; ) Edited* to concur with the lady below me! Definitely didnt have a clue on how to explain what I was asking! I expected a knowledgeable, clear and concise response...Never happened. I never divulged my profession either. Medical assistants, thats what they call themselves? They need a quick review or more educated MAs.

The entire office takes lunch together instead of staggering lunches to make it convenient for patients. That is stupid. You would rather stop business for an hour so these Sanford brown medical assistant graduates and a receptionist can eat lunch together instead of 2 takin lunch while 2 continue to work. ALL YOU people do is send people in and out anyway. The receptionist is an air head who is rude and had a problem with me sitting in the office to wait 26 minutes for their lunch to be over. She made her feelings very apparent when a scrub wearing associate let me in. And for a shot that takes 1 minute. I have tried to take my shots home twice to avoid this and the same air head receptionist told me I could get them over the phone and then after driving 28 miles she informs me that she doesnt have enough. Each shot visit was supposed to be accompanied with a weigh in and measurements. And each time they just rush you in and out and dont even care about your progress. I would never recommend anyone to come to this clinic. It is just a revolving door or shots and appetite suppressant prescriptions. I am very disappointed.

I was referred to this clinic by a friend. My initial impression was that it was cute, quaint, and the staff were polite. I waited about 30 minutes past my appointment time but had expected that on a Saturday, appointment or not and was okay with it. The doctor has a lovely spirit and makes you feel very comfortable. During a 4-5 month time frame of medical assistance, healthy eating, and exercise I lost about 50 lbs. I will admit I havent been here in several months and have gained a few (maybe 5) back but recommend them to everyone for that little extra assistance in the journey to a better you. I plan to schedule an appointment for next week. Know that I have tried a lot of weight loss plans and programs including my current one and know that the doctor is not the miracle worker its a mind set thing but it doesnt hurt that she is super cool and motivating, everyone needs a cheerleader. I suggest this doctor if you are serious and need a little extra help along the way. I thank you guys over at Houston Medical Wellness, I will be seeing you soon.

I love it here! Small intimate office with great caring staff! Dr. Jennifer (I think thats her name) is so nice, funny, and caring! She makes you feel comfortable and you can ask as many questions as you want. I even had the male doctor there and he is the same way! Everyone is friendly and helpful! If you go for a Saturday appointment be on time and ready, its their busiest day and the have a lot of appointments and walk ins. My last appointment there was a bit of a wait to be seen. I was very understanding because I work in the dentistry field so I know appointments can get behind. The staff continued to apologize for the wait and even the doctors. My journey here has been great my body hit a plateau with weight loss and they helped get me back on track. Within just the first month I lost close to 20 pounds and felt great. Im excited to continue my journey with this office. Thank you guys for being amazing!

My daughter and I went there last Friday. The front office people were nice, the doctor was good. The nurse they have does not know how to draw blood, she did it so many times and was almost ready to give up wherein she said my daughter has to go back the following week to have her blood drawn. Finally, she made one more attempt and did it. ALSO, they gave my daughter the syringe and told her to go to the pharmacy to get the prescription. I told them that my daughter has never given herself a shot. They told her just to give herself one in her stomach or thigh. THEY DID NOT SHOW MY DAUGHTER HOW. MY DAUGHTER HAD A HARD TIME TAKING THE BUBBLES OUT OF THE SYRINGE. FOR THE PRICE THAT I PAID, THEY SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PATIENT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY SEND THEM HOME.

I was deciding which Medical Wellness/Weight Loss Clinic to go to, and I found this one on 5910 Fairdale. I had a hard time finding the place, but the staff there guided me right there. I have read several reviews about this place, and I find no FAULT in this place. I went in on a Saturday, (it was a little busy), but everything went smoothly. The staff was very very professional, and friendly. The doctor whom wrote my prescription, had a migraine headache, and still manage to smile and explain everything to me. What an amazing person. If you want a friendly staff, and serious about losing weight, I suggest this place, WHAT A WAY TO GO ! Keep up the good work to the staff at 5910 Fairdale Street. I have already told my co-workers about you.:)

The doctor was very nice office staff so disorganized they kept asking me what I wanted and not really a consultation. The could not find veins didnt describe what each service does or how it works with the body. No consultation on how to use hcg or the diet felt rushed like cattle farm. They forgot to give me an injection that I paid for and the girl in front told me to go to piney point pharmacy to pick up hcg and when I got there they knew nothing about it. Omg never have I been to a cliMic and felt so much coinfusion. I cancelled the $600 I paid immediately and told the lady in front to reimburse my money totally dont feel they know what theyre doing. not to mention they cant draw blood on small veins. Very very disappointed!
