I have been on the same treatment for many years from another provider who is no longer with Essentia. My blood levels are one midrange normal for my age, and the other a couple points above normal for my age, but still within normal for the entire population. I'm in my mid 40's and have the normal levels of a 30 year old. These doses were come up with over a 5 year period to determine what feels best for me. They affect my sleep, energy levels, libido, anxiety, and depression. I am happy where I am. As soon as Dave Akkerman took over my care, he cut my dose in half. I am highly anxious about this as I know what it feels like to be deficient. All my other bloodwork comes back in the normal healthy range including my blood pressure the day of the appointment. I am now forced to go to a specialty clinic outside of network to get the proper dose. They don't accept my insurance. Due to Dr. Akkerman's ignorant and outdated views on hormone replacement therapy I am forced to change providers

I've never seen anyone who is more respected by their staff. The entire staff only had great things to say about working there, and it made me want to return all the more. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places. Their primary concern is my safety and comfort, and they always take the time to address every concern of mine immediately. I couldn't believe how great their office looked. It was very obvious that they took pride in the office's appearance. It was one of the best looking offices I've ever seen.

They go out of their way to make everyone feel equally respected and cared for. I've seen client favoritism at some of the other places I've been, and I really appreciate the extra effort they make to avoid that here. I didn't wait long at all. My appointment started on time, and the wait was much shorter than other offices I have been to. They've never been late to any of my appointments. I've even showed up early sometimes and they've always been ready and prepared. Their office was one of the quietest, most peaceful places I've ever visited. I was able to relax very easily. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time.
