Thrive Wellness Center

I had been treated at the Fort Lauderdale office a number of time but am now seeing Dr. Shams in Boca Raton. I am amazed how effective her treatments have been. I was treated for acute knee pain. I am pain free after only three treatments. Thanks Dr. Shams.

I went to Thrive for an acupuncture treatment and a massage today and had a wonderful experience. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and after I left, woohoo, no more back pain! The massage was great – felt sooooo relaxed when I left.

I have been going to Shams at Thrive Wellness Center for a year now. Over this year, not only has my health improved, but my outlook on life as relates to my wellness, nutrition, and emotional stability has too. If you are looking for typical Acupucture experience, then go elsewhere. What Shams offers is much more. It’s is a personalized health intervention. She truly cares more then any other healthcare professional I’ve ever been treated by, and thanks to her, I have made Acupucture a weekly part of my mind and body health routine. Shams truly is one of a kind and I could not recommend her, or thrive wellness more.

If you value your health DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT go to this supposedly Wellness Center in Boca Raton. If I could give it NO STARS, I would. I made an appointment to see somone, they called me about 30 minutes prior to the appointment, they cancelled it due to an emergency the provider had. OK I understand that, made another appointment for a couple of days later, again they called me about 30 minutes prior to appointment, provider still had the emergency. 1. Couldn’t understand why they didn’t call me the day before 2. I was told she’s the only provider in that office and only works 2 – 3 days. I must be a glutton for punishment because I made another appointment. Finally, I meet with this woman, Shams, she suggested I take a couple of blood tests for a skin condition I have so she can see what is the best way to treat me, I agreed. After the rough patch, all seemed to have gone well. Due to traveling, I followed up about a month later picked up the blood test kit mid afternoon, Shams told me I could leave it in the car if I wanted to, as long as I was going for the test the next day. I decided to go that day and was told by the testing facility there is an ice pack in there that needs to be frozen so they can fedex to the lab. I was not told this, I called Shams and she told me she did not know it was in there, I asked her how could she possibly not know, she said no one ever called her to tell her that. So I went home put the ice pack in the freezer went to the testing center the next day and I was told it was missing a tube needed for one of the tests, I left a message and sent a text to Shams. An hour and a half later I got a message from her, that she was sorry, doesn’t put the kits together, «it’s not my job» I threw the kit out, with a skin condition, I don’t need the stress and will go elsewhere. This supposedly is your profession, you should know everything about what you’re recommending, including EVERYTHING that goes into a test kit YOU recommend. The fact that you don’t even know there’s an ice pack in there means you never opened it, to me, that’s a total lack of interest in your profession and what you’re recommending to be done. This facility has only one review. Perhaps no one wants to write a negative review but when it comes to health I take it pretty seriously and if I can help one person in their decision about this facility, then it was worth writing a negative review. If you’ve read this review, hope you’re now looking for another facility, you’ll save plenty of time and stress!
