RedRiver Health and Wellness Center

I was 6 months postpartum and working on Good Things Utah when I asked Dr Red to help me. I knew something wasn't right. I thought it must have been a hormonal imbalance. He ran my blood-work and informed me that I had Hoshimotos. At this point I had forgotten what if felt like to feel energized and to feel good. I started the 6 month program and within weeks I was feeling better. I remember the day I got a call that all my blood-work was where Dr Staddler wanted it to be. I cried as I wrote in my journal, "I don't remember feeling this great, ever!" I knew then that everyone in my network who was struggling with health needed to do this program. I will continue to tell anyone and everyone that Red River Health and Wellness can do more for you than anyone out there. This program has saved my life. I am now trained in my own health and that is priceless. Brianne Johnson

So this is a difficult review to write because my criticisms are through absolutely no fault of their own. But they are huge so must be mentioned.I have an interesting mix of symptoms and issues that I'll summarize by just saying I'm tired all the time. Since I've been having these issues (5 years) I've seen 7 different doctors. I have not been tested for anything. I've been told I'm too fat and that I should "consider going to the gym". Some doctors refuse to give me medications, others load me up with pain killers and muscle relaxants that leave me unable to safely drive. It's awful not getting quality care or even just being listened to as a human being.Friends with chronic pain and autoimmune disorders sympathize and have given me significantly better "care" over the internet than the actual doctors I've seen.One friend was commiserating with me once again recently when she realized there is a Red River Health & Wellness here in ABQ. (She goes to one in another state for her thyroid issues and loves it.)I saw that they do a free consultation and I jumped on it!They tell you to arrive half an hour early to fill out the VERY comprehensive medical forms if you are not able to print them and fill them out at home. They ask questions on there about symptoms I've had and didn't think any doctor would take seriously! (Dismissing them as merely cosmetic). Red River takes note of all that!It was AMAZING talking to Dr Joshua Conzo!Thorough, caring, knowledgeable.THIS is what a doctor should be. THIS is how medical care should be!! We discussed not just myself but some general medical stuff such as how the thyroid functions normally in a body and several of the things that can go wrong with it. The giant, huge, insurmountable problem:As the chiropractic physicians at Red River practice Functional Medicine, their services are not covered by insurance.Even though their services are well within the parameters of typical western medicine (eg ordering a blood test), their style of doing things isn't covered. It's ludicrous.They are merely ordering for me the tests that any doctor should have ordered, to try to figure out what the heck is going on, and yet because of the type of doctors they are, insurance won't cooperate.The pros are that they are WELL aware of this and have suggestions for how to proceed. The cons are that even with their attempts to bring the price down, you are still paying cash - $300 for tests, $100 for office visits....and who has that kind of money?? This is a PHENOMENAL practice that specializes in issues with the endocrine system. You will get thorough, quality care here.But good luck paying for it. :(

I've suffered from Hashimoto's and other autoimmune symptoms for a long, long time. After seeing many doctors with no solution other than Prozac, extreme dieting, and pharmaceuticals, I was so desperate for answers re: my poor health. I gained a lot of weight in the last several years, couldn't sleep, felt exhausted, couldn't focus, and was depressed about not finding any answers. My first visit with Dr Conzo was a barrage of questions and a fact-finding mission, as I really wasn't sure if he could help me. He was extremely knowledgeable and articulate and spent a lot of time explaining what he was about and how we might proceed. First, he needed extensive lab tests and diagnostics to find the best solution, which I promptly complied. I was blown away by the results. I almost cried. I felt so validated because so many practitioners made me feel as if my symptoms were in my head. I realized I was in the right place with Red River Clinic. Dr Conzo provided a very detailed treatment plan stemming from my test results. I started his program and noticed results within 2 weeks. I continue to see progress to this day. It really has changed my life and my family notices the change as well. Dr Conzo has helped me more than I ever dreamed! So many of his solutions have never been brought to my attention from other treatment facilities. He is such a blessing and I'm forever grateful for him. You'll love his staff and marvel at how much he cares. I will continue to post my experiences with Red River, as I know the next several months will be even better.

Poor service. I requested 3 separate consultations and appointments, received no response or feedback.

Dr Conzo was great. Our family can't thank him enough for taking the time to look into our little girls situation. She has been a mystery baby with all that is going on, with our doctors not being able to pin point the issues she is having. Dr Conzo offered up some great advice and expressed a genuine interest in helping us. Thank you!

I'm really disappointed with my experience at Red River. I had all the symptoms mentioned in their commercials so I called for an initial consultation. It went well, and I really thought they would help me. I have hypothyroidism, always feel tired, and have a hard time losing weight. They ordered blood tests which were really expensive. I did learn some things about my issues based on the blood test results, but then nothing ever got fixed. They had me buy lots of expensive supplements which never made me feel any different. For the follow-up visits, a few times I went in to the office, but most of the time they'd call me. All that happened during these follow-ups was they'd ask how I was doing, I'd tell them there was no change, they'd say to keep taking the supplements, and then they'd confirm the call for the next week. Those phone calls cost $150 and were about 3 minutes long. At the initial consultation I told them I didn't want to just be told to go on a diet. I could go on a diet by myself. I wanted real help! My friend went somewhere else and was given a T3 supplement which really helped her. Red River doesn't do that. I took lots of supplements, and I never felt better and never saw a change even after 6 months, and it was really frustrating. I decided to cancel because it was a waste of time. It was also a total waste of money. They have you pay ahead of time. I had to use CareCredit because I didn't have $5,000 laying around. Insurance doesn't cover any of their services. It was REALLY annoying and frustrating when I couldn't get my money back and still had to pay the balance on the Care Credit card. I paid $5,000 for nothing. It makes me sick.

Before I started my journey at RedRiver I couldn't get out of bed for days, I was emotionally unstable, I had lots of physical pain and my thinking was slow... to sum it up I was a hot mess, I assumed that it was all caused from just being a mother of 4 boys ( well that's what my family practitioner told me), but I was wrong! Working with RedRiver changed my life!! I specifically worked with Dr. Weeks out of the Las Vegas clinic, he was kind, he explained things in a way I could understand, he was supportive and I always felt like he really had my best interest in mind. I loved that my appointments were over the phone rather than having to go into a location. I have officially been a graduate of the program for over 6 months and I have had a couple bumps in the road (food choices I know were bad for me) and I felt the affects from it, but going through the program I was taught how to quickly recover. This program has not just helped me, but my entire family because not only did my kids get their mother back, but they have learned along the way the importance of eating the right things and the reasons behind it. THANK YOU REDRIVER and DR. WEEKS!!!

The staff at red river has been very helpful over the past year and a half. I have struggled with my health for 10 yrs and most MD's have been unable to help in the long term. Red river wants to get to the root of the issues not just fix my symptoms. I feel better than I have in years. It is expensive, but if you have been battling an unknown or hard to treat health condition I would recommend Red River Health and wellness!

I have been going to Red River Health & Wellness for years. Josh Conzo, DO continues to provide an excellent service, he is now a household name. He makes recommendations and I follow through. The best advice I can give anyone who is making the decision to consult with an Intergrative medicine doctor is the results take time. You need to stay the course, results will come and you will notice the changes. I will continue to recommend Josh's services and partner Brooke Conzo, DO to family, co-workers and anyone who will listen. Men and woman experience changes in their bodies, over time as we age. I had that discussion with Josh years ago, we discovered the problems, tracked the changes and today some of those negative health issues I was faced with back then have been eliminated. We continue to track my changes, I am feeling better than I did 10 years ago. No one knows your body like you do, make that call 505 247 1000, I am glad I did!!
