Friendly and best results

Category: reviewsBeen you going to Priority You for a few years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my procedure with. Jamie. I get the same results every time I go there. Never disappointed when I leave. Plus everyone is so friendly.
Way overdue

Category: reviewsNo one wants to admit that they are getting or, more importantly, feeling older. Poor sleep, inconsistent dietary habits and noticeable decreases in my physical fitness abilities were all pointing to a "getting older" diagnosis. While these certainly are to be expected to a certain degree, I was delighted to know that Priority You MD could help turn this around for me. Thanks to Dr. Again and his staff (and my putting into practice their suggestions), I have noticed significant improvements in my fitness levels, have experienced deeper, more prolonged sleep states and have been in a better mood, over all. These therapies are so needed in today's world and I'm so glad to be under care at Priority You MD.
Ketamine Infusions for C-PTSD Life Changing
by Erin Unis
Category: reviewsI have been meaning to write this review for a while now and finally had the time it deserved. I am going to be fully transparent here in the event that my story may help others find different solutions for dealing with, in my case, C-PTSD. I am 52 years old and have been dealing with C-PTSD my whole life. I spent 18 years of my life being abused, tortured, and neglected. Never any positive reinforcement of any kind. As most of you probably know, trauma causes scientific changes in the brain. Your brain starts remodeling itself in a very unhealthy way and pathways that are necessary for managing “happiness” turn against you and ultimately stop “lighting up” for lack of a better word (I am no scientist!). I have physically and emotionally felt the devastation of this. I have spent the majority of my life sad, depressed and anxious although I have always been able to care for myself and keep a career going, everything else just seemed impossible. I tried many medications, therapy modalities (CBT, EMDR, etc.) and even looked into doing ECT but ECT is not a fit for trauma (can actually make it worse according to the Dr.’s at UCLA medical center). I started reading about Ketamine infusions a few years ago and finally, after being fed up with many of the systems in place for trauma survivors, decided to investigate it more. This is how I found Dr. Agin and his amazing staff at Priority You. I had also heard about the nasal inhaler method but that did not work (at all) for me. I finally made the appointment to meet with Dr. Agin and, if the chat went well, to do my first treatment. I can’t say I was all that nervous, I was actually more hopeful than anything. And the staff (Jenny, Jaime, Aubrey, Katye, Cathy and Kathy) were absolutely amazing! I have never felt more cared for and safe in a medical environment. Dr. Agin has been focused on Ketamine infusions for over 15 years, so I knew he was the Dr. for me! And he did not disappoint. He explained things to me in an easy-t

Professional

Category: reviewsI have been seeing Jamie for years now and she is by far the best in aesthetics. I’ve had the threads and filler and she was amazing at them. I have also had IV therapy in the office and liked that as well. I highly recommend the practice as everyone is so nice and professional and it’s so clean!
