“ From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt at ease. I have suffered with a plethora of symptoms and was loosing faith as treatments by other practitioners did not result in a positive outcome. The staff was quick and efficient. Demeanor was professional on every level. Felix is a very knowledgeable and a seasoned practitioner. He is an active listener, thoughtful and a subject matter expert. We chose a treatment plan that I felt comfortable with. In a matter of weeks, I started noticing a difference, with time my symptoms diminished and my quality of life improved. Highly recommend. ”

The staff was friendly, but the experience was underwhelming. My entire service was under 30 minutes, and wasn’t effective in the slightest. Even though it was listed within my network, upon leaving I was told that they didn’t accept my insurance, costing me a high out of pocket payment that was not worth the experience.

Dr. Felix's approach to holistic treatment of his patients is true in every sence. Not only he successfully treated my sciatica in a single visit but also somehow his level of therapeutic communication put my mind at ease as well. After only few sessions, I'm sleeping better and my anxiety has subsidied significantly. Will definitely continue my treatment course and definitely recommend Biotherapy Clinic to anyone.

Biotherapy Clinic staff and both doctors: Peter Melamed and Felix Melamed are exemplary! I was skeptical about holistic medicine but they made me a believer. My health would be in a bad place if they didn't help me get control of my weight, inflammation, migraines, and a host of other issues where traditional medicine was failing and every new medicine brought on new side effects. Their staff is wonderful and efficient as well. I couldn't recommend them enough!
