Human Reconstruction

Update…
I’ve returned to Human Reconstruction for lipotronic injections and again, had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ryan. He sat and talked with me about what the injections will and will not do, and that ultimately weight loss will have to begin and end with life style changes.
As far as the review by Christina B, what were you trying to achieve? A wonder shot that would melt your pounds away without cutting out the bad foods? Very unrealistic. I appreciated the discussion and time I had with Dr. Ryan and found it extremely motivating to do what I need to do to achieve my weight loss.
The photo of Sylvia… «All that pain for nothing»? I am considering the same procedure you had, but I will be realistic in the fact that I will be swollen immediately after the procedure. Did you expect to leave looking ten years younger? Again, unrealistic. Posting a picture immediately after a procedure and stating that it was for «nothing» is just plain inconsiderate and slanderous.
And no, I don’t work for Human Reconstruction or personally know any of the employees there. I just find people who bash on Unilocal like this are usually those looking for freebies.

I’ve been here 4 times now so far, after purchasing a Groupon for B-​Complex shots. The staff and doctors here are very kind and informative. Even when I was running late, they were still able to see me with no questions asked. I will continue to be back here even without a Groupon because I really appreciate their high quality of customer service. From my initial intake and how much time was spent with me, I knew that I was in the right hands because customer satisfaction was and is a top priority for the staff here.

I believe this place is very good, staff is awesome and Dr. is great! I have no problem with this place at all, its clean and well organized, i read some of the reviews and i always believe you have the right to say whatever you think and feel, but i dnt agree with some of those comments, i believe to look good you have to make sacrifices, following a diet is not that hard! When you really want a change you make it happen! I have lost a couple of pounds already to be exact 10 lbs in 5 weeks just following that diet, and will continue, im not a real model but im a healthy person that really cares to have a healthy life and live as long as i can for me and my family.

I bought a groupon for 10 lipotronic injections, and bought 10 more at regular price with a 10% discount but I didn’t bother using them all, I think I had a few left before I decided it wasn’t worth the drive, because I knew I would either have to buy more or do something else before it really even made a little difference.
The doctor was nice the first time I met him, after that I think he could have cared less since he knew he probably wasn’t going to get any more money out of me. Granted he did explain that businesses are businesses to make money, and groupon is there to give a taste/​promotion not to be used as a substitute for actual business which I agree with.
The thing I didn’t agree with is the generic advice he gave me the 1^st time I saw him to lose weight. Yes I know I need to exercise and eat healthier but there is a thing called moderation and realistic standards.
The «very generic diet advice» he gave me was to cut out all simple carbs, sugar, processed foods, dairy and eat mainly meat and vegetables. Yes, I probably would lose plenty of weight that way but there is a balance between looking good and feeling good and I knew I would have been miserable on that plan.
2^nd there is no way that plan is feasible for me in the long-​run, so I would probably gain all the weight back and 3^rd I’m one of those people that when you tell me I can’t have something I want more. The only people I know that probably would and do have a diet like that are total health nuts, their job is to look good (fitness/​models) or people who need to set an example (like him: doctors).
I didn’t want to tell him he was off his rocker but telling me to cut out too much of (simple carbs– white rice!) is like telling the cookie monster to stop eating cookies. Granted I could have bought a consulting session where he went into more detail but from the «taste» got, I didn’t want to pay for advice I probably wouldn’t take.
The other thing: Most of the receptionists were nice but one of them (the asian one) was a total bitch to me. Granted she might have just not liked me– because there is a certain kind of girl that doesn’t like me, and I find incredibly superficial (and other things I won’t mention) but when your dealing in a higher end service business you should be a bit more polite and act less like your too big for your britches. I understand that more in the fast food service industry or if she was younger but she was too old to being act like a snot-​nosed brat.

I have been there twice so far for colonics and sauna. It has been a very pleasant experience. Merideth is very kind and very professional. She goes out of her way to make this as comfortable as she can. I also got B12 shots from Dr Ryan. He is very helpful and worked with me on my problems. I recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for a good naturopath.

Three members of my extended family have used colon hydrotherapy, IR Sauna, B12, B-​Complex shots. We found Dr. Ryan Weitman, a well informed ND, who spends lot of time and effort trying to help his clients. Merideth is wonderful and friendly colon hydrotherapist, making detox experience as smooth as it can get. We are planning some IV drips for my wife, as we feel very confident with Dr. Ryan. I would say that this naturopathic clinic is an asset of greater Sac area.
Some of the negative reviews that I see below seem to be misunderstanding of some new clients wanting to use groupons for repeated services. I can understand that the groupon introductory prices are one service, once per person. Anyway, I would recommend Human Reconstruction clinic to anyone wanting to support their health is a natural way. Their prices are very competitive, across the services. Facility is clean and pleasant.

I bought a colon hydrotherapy Groupon and was pleasantly suprised how awesome this place and the people are here. I ended up buying a package. I have been to other colonics places and by far this is the best place for a colonic in the Sacramento area! The staff is friendly and Dr. Ryan is great too. I feel as though they really care about my health here and genuinely are trying to help me. I like that they offered supplements but didn’t push them on me.

I love this place and the people that work here. The first time I went in was for a groupon for 25 lipotropic injections that I paid only around $ 125 for. What both amazed and impressed me was the amount of time that Dr Ryan spent with me during my initial consult. He just sat and had a detailed, at length conversation with me about my overall lifestyle, food choices, sleep habits, exercise routine, digestion, etc, and how these factors affected my weight. He also explained what the injections did and was honest with me about how they worked and what would be required of me in order to achieve desired results. Bottom line, I was impressed with how much time he spent with me when he really had not made any money off of me and was not pushing me into buying anything else. Right away, this made me feel like this was the kind of office I would like to keep coming to. I recently have purchased 6 colonics and have been happy with the procedure and the results of how I feel afterward. I have also purchased some natural dietary supplements for both digestion and anxiety and I have been happy with the results of everything I have purchased so far. All of the staff is unbelievably friendly and professional, especially Merideth. I cannot say enough great things about these people. I feel they are true professionals, and true healers who genuinely care and want to help people look and feel their best. Nothing beats that in my eyes. Glad I found them.

Started going here based on Living Social deal. I was getting lipotropic injections. I have to say my first appointment was excellent. The doctor was knowledgable, did measurements etc. we talked for a while about weight loss and what I needed to do. The next two appointments were not nearly as good they had some young ladies that I did not see the week prior doing the injections. No information, no measurements, no asking how I was doing based on the shots. Actually pretty unprofessional. They seemed to be unorganized, not sure what shots I was given the previous week said someone wrote it down wrong. I was pretty concerned and planned on speaking to someone today when I went in. My daughter ended up sick at home so I called first thing and cancelled, they weren’t even open so I left a voicemail. They call me back and say they have a 24 hour policy so I will have to pay unless I come in today! I say well my daughter is home sick I won’t be able to make it there today. The young lady then proceeds to tell me I need to get a doctors note! Oh my goodness! I was shocked. Do yourself a favor and stay away! Not sure if they are new here and working out the kinks or what but I would not recommend this place at all.

this place is fantastic!!! I went in for a b12 shot and expected just a quick 5 minute visit and ended up with so much more. Dr. Ryan Weitman is EXTREMELY thorough, and well educated on health and nutrition. it was SUCH a relief to find a Dr. that actually tries to get to the root of your problems rather than force meds upon you just to mask the symptoms. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone that wants to be healthier or has any physical issues they are looking to resolve. it is a very well rounded health clinic.

I felt it was time I wrote a review — I was skeptical so I figured I would give it about a year. I am in my mid forties and was feeling it — I hurt every morning, my shoulder was not healing from surgery and all the VA could tell me was — it will never be 100% My joints ached and it was a constant battle to keep my weight in check even though I work out hard 5 days a week and watch what I eat within reason. My only bad habit is alcohol, and the fact I work shift work and nights (screwed up sleep pattern). My general practitioner, good DR, but his only comment was «your getting older», it is what happens… oh hell no. in my line of work I can’t chalk it up to «your getting older».
A year later, my joints don’t ache, my shoulder is 100%, I am down from 222 to 208, and have only lost body fat, not muscle mass (my waist is down 4 inches, my neck 1), I can actually do shoulder presses, barbell presses and lateral raises again — all exercises I was unable to do because of my shoulder surgery. I feel healthier than I have in the last 15 years.
My only regret is that my insurance doesn’t cover the procedures, supplements, etc. is it a bit pricey? It can be, but weighing the benefits vs how I felt… well worth it in my opinion.
And for you ladies — his wife is a Dr as well so they have a men’s health and a women’s health side.

I’m trying out the B12 shots to help with nerve healing. I’ve been through all kinds of physical therapy, acupuncture, pills prescribed by doctors that made me feel awful. Hopefully this helps!

When I came to Human Reconstruction around 2 years ago I was a complete mess. Trusting Dr. Wdowin (Dr. Heather) with my health is one of the best life decisions I have ever made.
I’ve been Type 1 diabetic for 32 years, and many of those years were uncontrolled causing several complications.
The complication that affected me most was a stomach condition that caused me to vomit nearly every day for 20 years. I’d been to several Western medicine Dr’s, and none of them could fix it, they just kept putting me on different medications, most of which affected different areas of my health in a negative way. I was taking about 20 different medications every day and was only in my 30’s.
Within 3 months, Dr. Heather turned my health around completely. I was no longer vomiting, no longer requiring 12 hours of sleep every day, no longer run-​down, no longer depressed and anxious, and just all around felt better.
With Dr. Heather’s guidance, (and often Dr. Ryan’s input) I now have a completely healthy lifestyle and am feeling great. I am no longer on any of the medications, except of course for insulin, I take a few supplements, I eat right, exercise regularly and my blood work always comes back with perfect numbers and my diabetes is very well controlled.
My endocrinologist is very happy with the results of the path I chose, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m very grateful for Dr. Heather, Dr. Ryan and the rest of the staff at Human Reconstruction.
Thank you!

This seemed like a good idea so I was excited to try going to a NP rather than an MD. But the office is disorganized and some of the staff were rude. I also was not impressed with one of the doctors (Wdowin) and will not be returning. She seemed to contradict herself from one appointment to another and that was enough for me. Maybe the problem is they are just trying to do too many things there.

I have been to Dr. Heather Wdowin a few times now and have already seen good results with my thyroid treatment. I feel better than any main stream doctor has ever made me feel. She is working with me to get several symptoms under control and reversed. I’m almost there, fingers crossed!!! I can not say anything negative about her or her office staff! I have been so blessed to find a doctor that finally wants to get to the underlying causes of all my problems and not just throw a pill at me to mask the symptoms. If you have any thyroid issues and the problems that go with it, see Dr Wdowin. Also, my insurance will not cover my visits (because of course they don’t believe in natural care) but, she is very affordable for having to pay out of pocket.

This review is being published to hopefully protect others who may believe they can depend on Dr. Wdowin and entrust their health to her.
Any challenge I had was compounded because she is often not available. So if you need a refill the other doctor there will not write the scrip which is completely ridiculous especially since she is off «teaching» or working other projects. But yet that is actually their office policy– I could not get a prescription written or refilled unless she did it herself. I have never had such poor service. I felt as if I were fighting her to get her to prescribe my medication or to answer questions I had.
Once I started taking just the right mix of supplements and medication (mostly found by me not by her) and started to have more energy, feel good, etc. it was as if she were actually trying to withhold the medication portion from me. At first I thought I was imagining it. But my family and I logged what was happening and they also came to the same conclusion. It was literally a struggle to keep the medication from running out and it often did.
When she did write a prescription she screwed it up nearly every time. The pharmacy could not reach her to confirm what she was trying to prescribe because she of course was not in the office. Astoundingly she made the same mistake with the same prescription over and over.
There was a short period of time while on the thyroid medicine from Canada that I had awesome energy. I felt healthy and vibrant and was able to accomplish so much. Then the medicine was getting low and she was out of the office– this time on an extended vacation. Needless to say I did run out and it was awful. I could not function.
You might wonder why I put up with this. Trust me I wanted to get another doctor but I couldn’t take the time off of work to get set up with a new NP and also didn’t have the money since I spent a fortune at HR.
I feel so relieved to finally be receiving help from another Naturopath who really knows her stuff! She is excellent and is doing the opposite of what Dr. Wdowin did in almost every way and I feel so much better already! My new doctor pointed out why I feel better doing things differently. Now that I have that knowledge and insight I think even less of Dr. Wdowin. So much so that I feel as though I should file a complaint with the state of California. I think she is an absolute menace. I trusted her to have my health and best interests at heart and that was a huge mistake.
If you want a doctor who plays games with your health and your livelihood, then she is the doctor for you.
I will write a review of my new doctor (who I love!!!) once I’ve had time to make sure I feel better long term, etc. Because I’ve only been going to her about a month.

If you are looking for a doctor that actually cares then this is the place for you! Dr. Heather & Dr. Ryan are doctors who care about your wellbeing and not timing your appts 15 mins apart so that they can move to the next patient. I went to Dr. Ryan to seek help with my weight! This has been truly a great experience. It has been 3 weeks and I am down 13lbs… this could not have happened without the help of these wonderful doctors. By the way, I am on the HCG diet by injection and it works! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone that needs help with their overall health.

Very pleased with everything Human Reconstruction has done for me. The customer service is AMAZING! Dr. Weitman is very caring and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having difficulty finding a good doctor. It sure feels nice to walk in and see smiling faces from everyone. Thank you Human Reconstruction team!

Dr. Ryan has helped me with my area of chronic pain that no one else has been able to do. Also, with his diet advice I have lost 20 lbs since November. I can’t say enough good things about the clinic and the team there!

Nicest people (even when Dr. Ryan is pushing you to lift more and eat better), with a great facility and fantastic results. Go there, now!
