Your Personal Medical Detectives
At Holtorf Medical Group, we view each patient as unique, focusing not just on alleviating symptoms but on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your health issues. We are committed to truly listening and providing the personalized care you’ve been searching for, aiming for rapid and comprehensive improvement in your health.
Staying 17 Years Ahead with Evidence-Based Medicine
According to the Annals of Internal Medicine and the Journal of American Medical Association, the majority of physicians are not up-to-date with the latest medical research. In fact, it was found that physicians are, on average, 17 years behind the research, meaning that they are diagnosing and treating patients with outdated and unreliable techniques.
Integrating Conventional and Cutting-Edge Care
We combine functional and integrative treatment philosophies to tailor care for each patient. Our doctors use conventional medications, customized compounded drugs, vitamin and mineral supplements, and innovative therapies like hormone replacement and cellular peptide therapy. Patients open to this multifaceted approach often recover more quickly.
Education is central to our practice. We empower patients with knowledge to navigate their treatment options and find the best path to better health.
What Our Patients And Veterans Say
I am an Air Force Combat Control Special Operations Veteran with combat deployments to Afghanistan and Africa. I teach Executive Protection and last year after being on the gun range with students and shooting all week i was found at home, unconscious and with barely a pulse. I was put into an induced coma and suffered brain damage of the hippocampus, heart failure and severe rhabdomyolysis. Dr. Holtorf found out about me and what I was dealing with and stepped in to… (read the full story here)

Simply, Dr Evans exceeded my expectations in every possible way. She’s the exact right balance of academics, science compassion and poise. She’s approachable, intelligent and extraordinary in presence of mind and heart. I felt listened to, understood, identified, challenged

My experience with Dr. Hunt was incredible. She was an active listener, was receptive to my questions and concerns, and gabe me great feedback and solutions. I highly recommend her expertise and hope for people to have the same great experience as I did.

I am so grateful to Doctor Holtorf. I was feeling terrible and had seen so many doctors, and no one seemed to be able to help me. THEN I found Dr. Holtorf. He took various tests and then put me on hormone replacement with natural hormones, and I have never felt better.
From feeling that there was no tomorrow to having so much energy and excitement...this has been my dream come true. I am so grateful to Dr. Holtorf and his wonderful staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wightman for about two years now and have always been impressed with his kindness. I feel well taken care of both physically and emotionally. When I first came to Holtorf Medical Group I was at my wit’s end having suffered from heat flashes, disturbed sleep patterns, weight gain, mental fogginess and low energy for the past 14 years. I had tried many other treatments from acupuncture and homeopathic remedies to western medical doctors but nothing had…

I’ve just started working with Dr Scott for Chronic Complex illness. So far he has been by far the most detailed, supportive doctor I’ve been too! I’m finally hopeful after years and years of going around in circles. I can’t say enough about the front office staff. They’re always professional and caring, answering any questions you might have. The nurses in the IV room are amazing!!! The overall office space is very inviting and warm not like a typical doctor office.

I went in today for shoulder injury. I received excellent care from Doctor Scott - great " bedside manner" and highly skilled.I didn't feel the peptide shots. Will referring others. It takes 2 weeks for results,so I'll have a follow-up post. Highly recommend Holtorf Medical Group in El Segundo for all sports injuries. Great staff, too!

I have been a patient at Holtorf Medical Group for well over ten years. The staff has always provided great service. In the past, I have written testimonials regarding the excellent care I have received at HMG for my chronic illness.This review is regarding Eddy in the compounding pharmacy. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, friendly and helpful. I really appreciate his assistance and his pleasant demeanor. Each time I need to place an order, he provides exemplary service and I always receive the correct medications in a timely manner. Thanks Eddy for all that you do! 🙂

I cannot recommend this place enough. Their holistic approach to healing, rather than treating symptoms, sets them apart from doctors operating within the confines of insurance. I started my treatment here in 2020 with Dr. Moses Laufer. I had taxed adrenals, my thyroid was barely functioning, my joints ached, I had insomnia, the list of things goes on. Together we worked to bring up my energy levels, improve my adrenals, get my thyroid to optimal levels, reduce overall pain and discomfort. I see him twice a year now for maintenance. The team here really can help with so many complex issues. It’s the best comprehensive care I have ever received. Thank you, Dr. Laufer and team for increasing my quality of life.

Dr Scott is amazing. Thinks outside the box with plenty of evidence based medicine. Found the CAUSE of problems that my general practitioner had NO CLUE on how to find. I can't speak highly enough of him.EVERYONE in the staff is incredibly good! Their help, professionalism and great attitudes were 100% for every one of them.In my humble opinion, this is the way that health care should be practiced.I highly reccomend them. If you have questions look for Dr Holtorf on YouTube and you will get an idea of what they do.

Holtorf Medical Group is hands down a class act! Everytime I call to place an order the customer service is fantastic. Everyone who answers the phone is friendly and knowledgeable.There is a receptionist with a British accent who is always very nice and sweet. The rates are reasonable for the efficacy of the products. I have been using the Holtorf supplements for several years now as I feel them to be of a superior quality than no name products online or at the drugstore. I particularly like their restful sleep supplements Melatonin and Sleep Tight. The shipping is also incredibly fast. I usually have my order within 24 hours. I also recommend the supplements to my friends when they ask what I use. I highly recommend Holtorf Medical Group

Dr. Scott and Dr. Kent are awesome! And I don't say that lightly...as someone in the integrative health space, I can be hyper critical of healthcare providers. They talk TO you, not AT you. They are extremely thorough and talented. Don't hesitate to seek their care, whether it is for optimization or any health condition.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Scott Mortensen for over ten years and continue to be impressed by his exceptional skill in providing comprehensive care for both body and mind. His expertise covers an impressive range, from managing complex chronic conditions to offering cutting-edge longevity treatments like stem cell therapy and peptides. Beyond that, Dr. Mortensen is outstanding in aesthetics my friends and I trust only him for our annual refreshers. Finding a physician who excels in holistic care is truly rare. If I had to choose one doctor to care for me for life, it would undoubtedly be Dr. Mortensen.

My husband and I have been using the CBD supplements for about a year now and they have drastically improved our sleep! The staff, especially April R., are always friendly and helpful.

I’ve been a Holtorf Medical patient beginning in Torrance and continuing in El Segundo. I could not be happier wih Dr Holtorf and now Dr Nancy Evans.And as an added bonus, the Holtorf pharmacy is a gift to us all. Eduardo is particularly professional and knowledgeable and always in a good mood. It makes me happy just speaking with him. My meds arrive on time right to my door, never a mistake nor a lengthy wait. Everyone in the pharmacy is spot on!

I have been going to Dr. Holtorf's office for about five years now. Dr. Evans has been a tremendous help with my thyroid issues. As with many of us, COVID weight gain left me feeling extremely uncomfortable in my own body. Her approach to my concerns have reunited me with my old self and I couldn't be more thrilled. She put me on a regular regiment of red light therapy for inflammation and some medication to help regulate my thyroid. I feel and look myself again! The whole office is friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.

Dr Steph changed my life!I came to her wanting to get off of Celexa which I’d taken for over a decade. She worked to identify root causes of my anxiety and depression and supported by body while I essentially detoxed myself from a heavy dose of SSRI.Then about a year after that, I had a horrific, cystic acne breakout in my late 30s. It was so painful and embarrassing. People kept telling me it was hormones and that I should take Accutane which I didn’t want to do.Dr Steph identified the issue with testing and treated me for candida overgrowth and one month later I was back to CLEAR SKIN! I always appreciate her awareness and understanding of how costly testing and treatments can be; I know she’s never trying to make me spend money just to spend it.I’ve made so many heathy life changes because she has empowered with me knowledge and gentle suggestion rather than criticism or judgement that is sometimes the way of health care providers.She is truly a healer and I’m so grateful tohave found her.I love the Holtorf office overall. So many great services, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, great energy in there!

I have been at Holtorf for many years and I truly love the care. All the staff are amazing. I did want to give a shout out to Eddy who works in the dispensary. He provides exemplary service and Inever feel concerned that I won't receive my meds on time. He is extremely knowledgeable, super detailed and very quick to respond. More than that he makes me feel like I am a person and not a number. He always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for all you do Eddy!

I have the utmost respect for all of the staff and doctors at Holtorf Medical Group. Moreover, I always refer my clients to HMG for treating very difficult conditions, as their doctors think outside of the box to make sure they can find the root cause of the problem for any patient with proper one-on-one care. I highly recommend HMG to everyone who wants to improve their overall health!

We are grateful for the staff at Holtorf Medical Group. In particular, sending KUDOS to Kimberly Potter. I have had the pleasure to work with Ms. Potter for 9 years, going on 10. I must say, all our issues & concerns are promptly addressed, her compassion, time and efforts to help us understand are by far exemplary. The Holtorf Medical Group is lucky to have her, not only for her expertise and skill, she is a caring person. Keeps my faith in humanity. With the state of the art technology, (sign of the times), it is GREAT to have a real human being attend to our needs. Thank you Kimberly Potter, you are a life saver!

I've been going to Holtorf for a number of years and have switched doctors three times, while inconvenient, ever doctor has seemed to be knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! One constant has been Eddy in the pharmacy, he's always been very responsive, taken care of my approvals and even tracks my shipments. He is very knowledgeable and has explained the dosing of each medication to me over email and the phone, very happy with my experience!

From the moment I walk in to pick up my medication, I am always greeted with a warm smile and genuine kindness. Eddie's knowledge and expertise truly shines as he takes the time to answer all my questions tailored to my needs and fills my medications on time and follows up with a call.What impresses me the most is his commitment to excellent customer service. He goes above and beyond to ensure I feel comfortable and well-informed about my medications. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personal touch.I always leave the office feeling like valued patient and confident in my healthcare decisions. The Holtorf Group is lucky to have Eddie Zermeno. Outstanding service and gold star!Sandra C.

As a 67 year old male my health is extremely important. A very active life style and work requires me to be in top health and physical shape. I scheduled my first visit to HMG with Dr. Scott. Dr. Scott took the time to listen to what was important to me. I found him to be very likable, knowledgeable and someone I could trust with my health. I came back for a follow up to go over my extensive blood work, and specialized test results. Dr. Scott all the time necessary (over an hour) to go over each item on the results. I came out of that meeting with particular supplements that will help the deficiencies from the results. I highly recommend Dr. Scott to anyone who is interested in improving their health. He is very easy to talk to, a great listener and has a wealth of knowledge to tap from.

He is so friendly, efficient, and professional. He and the staff have always been so accommodating to all our family when it comes to compounding and delivering our meds on time. The Dispensary is a very important part of Holtorf Medical group and with Eddy running the department with his staff things go great! Keep up the Amazing work! The Vititoe/DiNapoli Family

I started seeing Dr. Steph about a year and a half ago, before she moved to Holtorf Clinic for SOT. Since then, she’s become my full-time Lyme doctor and has identified several issues that other Lyme doctors missed. She’s a wealth of knowledge and excels at finding the gaps that others may overlook. Her perspective and expertise—having experienced Lyme firsthand—along with her approach as a younger, newer doctor, really set her apart.I’m very selective with the doctors I trust, and she’s one of only two I currently recommend. Her genuine care for her patients, coupled with her continuous quest to learn and find better ways to help, really shines through in her treatment plans.

Dr. Scott Mortensen has been helping me tremendously to navigate my way out of nearly 3 years of chronic pain from an issue in my head/neck. He has shown great interest in understanding my journey, and has refined a treatment plan that is helping me to feel like myself again. His work in tandem with the treatment I am getting from a dentist for the mechanical dysfunction in my head/neck is what is helping me return back to normal function. I'm very grateful to have found someone who is as invested in helping me feel better as I am.

Holtorf Medical Group is a one of a kind medical office. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by their smiling front desk receptionist to the time you leave and conclude with their caring check out gals you will feel completely different about doctors office visits. The doctors are extremely medically knowledgeable and have advanced therapies that along with thinking outisde the box sets this office apart from your typical Western medicine approach. Dr Scott is smart and as down to Earth as they come. I can't say enough about this practice. Run, don't walk if you have not been able to find solutions through your regular PPO/HMO physicians.

When I first started seeing Dr. Lisa, it was life-changing. I had been struggling with constant fatigue, exhaustion, and a lack of energy, but for the first time, I finally felt normal again. She truly listened to me, took my symptoms seriously, and helped me get back to feeling like myself.When Dr. Lisa left, I panicked! I finally had a provider who truly understood me, and I wasn’t sure what to do. But Christina, Dr. Lisa’s MA at the time, reassured me that Dr. Evans was just as good, and she was absolutely right. From my first appointment with Dr. Evans, I was beyond impressed. She took the time to go over all of my blood work in detail, explained everything thoroughly, and really listened to what I wanted to achieve with my health. She made sure I felt comfortable and confident in my care moving forward.I had initially considered leaving to follow Dr. Lisa, but I’m so grateful I stayed. Dr. Evans and Kim have been everything I’ve needed and more. If you’re searching for a provider who truly listens, understands, and provides exceptional care, look no further, Holtorf Medical Group is the place to go.

Absolutely amazing office. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The doctors are as kind and compassionate as they are knowledgeable. It’s been a struggle to lose weight for me and they have finally got me on a path to feeling how I used to. My travel schedule is insane and now o not only have help medically, but Dr. Scott gave me a workout plan I can follow at almost any hotel. Thanks Dr. Scott and Dr. Kent!

“I can’t say enough about the Holtorf Medical Group and the care I received here. From the start, the team created a program customized just for me, with a round table of doctors who reviewed my labs and mapped out a plan. The experience felt like I was finally being seen as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. Dr. Scott Mortensen treated me with stem cell injections and set me up with peptides and meds to help me move toward real healing. Only a week in, and I’m already feeling relief in my neck and knee, which I haven’t felt in ages.But perhaps what I’m most grateful for is having hope again. If you’re looking for answers, I highly recommend the professionals at Holtorf Medical Group for truly compassionate, cutting edge care.”

I can’t say enough great things about Holtorf Medical. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I’ve been dealing with shoulder, neck, and elbow pain for years, and I recently saw Dr. Mortensen for a PRP injection in my shoulder and elbow. He took the time to explain the process and the science behind it, which really put me at ease. The whole procedure took about 15 minutes and was completely painless. Thank you, Holtorf Medical Group, for such a positive experience!

Title: Exceptional Care and Compassion!I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care provided by Dr. Evens and Kim at Holtorf medical group. Having consulted various doctors in the past without receiving concrete answers, Dr. Evens was a refreshing change.Dr. Evens went above and beyond to ensure a thorough examination, conducting all necessary tests to identify and understand my condition. Her commitment to finding answers and putting me on the right treatment plan has made a significant difference in my health.Furthermore, the support from Heather and Emily has been exceptional. The entire staff at this practice is remarkable—compassionate, attentive, and truly dedicated to patient well-being.In a world where finding quality healthcare can be challenging, I consider myself fortunate to have discovered Dr. Evens and her incredible team.

After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I sought out Holtorf for top-notch healthcare. If you're dealing with a thyroid issue, I highly recommend consulting a specialist who comprehensively understands the disorder and can effectively interpret your blood test results. Holtorf excels in this regard, possessing a deeper understanding of thyroid health compared to the average doctor. Personally, I'm under the care of Dr. Evans, a naturopath advocating a holistic approach blending both Eastern and Western styles. This involves medication, dietary adjustments, and supplements. Dr. Evans oversees my overall well-being, including hormone replacement care. Kim, Dr. Evans' manager, ensures everything operates seamlessly for me. I want to express gratitude to Eddie in the dispensary, who not only handles my prescriptions from Holtorf but also assists with the various Holtorf-branded supplements I rely on – a pleasure to work with.if you're seeking comprehensive care for both your mind and body, beyond just addressing symptoms or relying solely on a blood test, this is the ideal place for that kind of holistic treatment.

I had really bad experiences with two other Lyme literate doctors before I came here and Dr. Hunt literally saved me. Her calm demeanor is very therapeutic and she is always considerate of my budget when selecting treatments. She never makes me feel pressured to do anything I don’t want. She even called me, unprompted, when I got Covid to see how I was doing. Her medical assistant Cristina is also great. She is super fast at responding to emails and it’s always easy to get ahold of her for questions. I would recommend them to anyone with a tickborne illness.

Life savers.Literally. These people saved my life. I was below rock bottom when I finally found Holtorf Medical Group. I was nearly 4 years into my chronic illness journey, and 10+ doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Within one visit, we pinpointed my issue and each and every week has seen tangible, considerable improvement since. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Laufer have been extraordinary healers, and I am getting my life back because of their protocol. Throughout this process, not only have I regained my physical strength, but my overall spiritual strength has been restored too. For the first time since getting sick, I truly believe that I will beat this into remission, deactivation, a cure, or whatever we want to call a symptom-free livelihood where I am in control of my body, not this nasty illness.The entire staff - from the administrative folks to the medical assistants to the nurses in the IV room to the folks in the pharmacy - is exceptional. I didn't know this level of medical care was possible. They are empathetic, patient, diligent, and cordial. In the most trying chapter of my life, the Holtorf Medical Group has given me hope, confidence, and a reason to believe. I could not be more grateful for the impact this practice has had on my life.

I've been a patient of Dr. Lisa Hunt for a few years before she relocated to the L.A. area and joined Holtorf Medical group. She is an outstanding physician. She helped me with some medical conditions unlike other doctors I've spoken with over the years, looking for resolution. I appreciate her comprehensive integrative and holistic philosophy and she is always welcoming and approachable. The excellent service I was accustomed to in her previous practice continued at Holtorf Medical Group. Everyone, from Eddie in the pharmacy to Cristina, Dr. Lisa's assistant, to Carly who I just met (along with others I have only spoken with briefly), has been professional, friendly, responsive and very helpful. In addition, I appreciate the informative articles on their website and the state-of-the-art research and treatments Holtorf Medical provides. I'm grateful that Dr. Lisa and the Holtorf Medical team supports my health journey.

I, like many I’ve met here, had previously found the many other options for care not sufficiently nuanced or diverse for my needs. Trying to treat myself through what was available to me as a layman got me a little further than traditional cate but it involved a lot of unhelpful rabbit trails and it was not always positive. At Holtorf, I found a physician community who are perceptive and diverse in the options available to us. Being both aware that medicine is full of unknowns but also keeping up numerous cutting edge options, they have given me much of what I need to take my health at my own pace safely and with choices. In the time I’ve been at Holtorf, my energy levels and cognition have improved dramatically. I have been able to work a demanding job once again, when at one time I felt little hope. I am really grateful for this group and the very knowledgeable community of patients I have met being there.

I’ve been going to HMG for several years, and I’m so thankful for the care both the doctors and staff provide. Dr. Evans always listens (which far too many doctors don’t do!) and empowers me to take an active role in my treatment. She thinks outside the box to figure out the best plan for my needs and goals and stays up-to-date on new studies and treatments. Kim Potter, Dr. Evans’ administrative assistant, is phenomenal as well. Kim always makes herself available via email and phone to answer my questions and/or pass them along to Dr. Evans: She goes above and beyond to help me. For example, I recently had a situation getting a medication covered by insurance, and she made several calls and filled out necessary forms until it finally got approved. Eduardo in the dispensary and Daniel in the IV room are also wonderful. I feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing team: it makes all the difference in world.

Ozone was a big help to me in getting rid of my chronic Lyme & mold illness. It was one of the only therapies I did that would give me die off which I was so happy about because that showed progress & that it was working. To avoid die off just do less.

I truly believe finding Holtorf and going to them saved my life. I thought I was going crazy after seeing 8 different doctors who told me I was overweight because I didn’t exercise enough or eat properly. I was at that time, walking 5 miles 5 days a weeks, working out at a gym 5 days a week, counting everything that I put in my mouth and not eating more than1200 calories a day. I was told I was lying. 8 times. Holtorf took the time to check bloodwork and helped me get my life back I order. I’ve been with them so many years I’ve lost track. Still working on my weight but it’s much better than before.

Both my husband and I have benefited greatly from Holtorf Medical Group, more specifically, through the assistance of Dr. Lisa Hunt. I initially found her when searching for a solution for dealing with my Hashimoto's. Not only was I able to get my health back on track, I feel 100% better with more energy than I have prior to my diagnosis. I feel that Dr. Hunt really listened to me and allowed me to be an active part of my own care, which was important to me. As for my husband, she was able to diagnose him with chronic Lyme disease. He is still going through Ozone therapy, but his health has been steadily improving in the right direction. Without Dr. Hunt, I'm not sure that either of us would have been able to tip the scales on our health and made any meaningful gains towards better health.We are both grateful and appreciative that we have a clinic like this available to us. It has made all the difference in the world to our health and our family.

I followed Angel to this practice. She is absolutely brilliant. She discovered my Lyme Disease diagnosis. Instead of the traditional megadoses of antibiotics, we opted for ozone IV therapy. This preserved my gut health while attacking the bacteria in my body. I trusted her approach for treatment and am now in remission. No other medical practice offered this type of therapy as an alternative. I’m truly grateful to Angel for her knowledge and expertise. Many patients travel to this practice for their extensive knowledge of alternative medicine. Ozone IV therapy is extremely beneficial for your body.

Great group and they take a lot of time out with you. They’re easy to get in touch with as well. I drove from Alabama because I had heard such great things, and that lived up to what I heard. I highly recommend going here!

I have enjoyed working with Dr Evans as she is very thorough when reviewing your tests and paperwork, and spends time discussing everything with you. I have also enjoyed the IV room and getting some immunity boosters or B12 while there, fast and easy.

Dr. Laufer was awesome. He had a hunch about my health and he was right. I felt I did get to a great healthy place under his care. I need to go back. I definitely trust Dr. Laufer & this medical group.

I‘ve been hypothyroid for 15 years n been seeing doc Laufer at HNC most of that time. He has become my primary care physician in a sense as I just havent found another doc who looks at the whole spectrum of challenges I face with lyme, allergies etc. With him I feel like part of a team, I can suggest tests n meds/supplements n he can give me advice on that and prescribe them if he deems them fitting. I highly recommend HMC:)

So glad I FINALLY found someone to listen to me and not say my labs were “normal”. I see Angel in the Marietta office. She listens to me and has helped me gain back my energy and has made me feel alive again.

Hey💚😊!! My experience began in the Torrance office 🤗.. I was a very complex case, and was trying to raise our family, I didn't do well with the drive so I wasn't very consistent with treatment and I was on several narcotics prescribed by pain management in my area masking what was really the root cause of my problem. I'm off all of them now!🙏🏻.. I am so grateful for the El Segundo office🤗.. I went to school there so when they moved into the new office, I was retested for everything and I have the pleasure of Dr. Moses Laufer, and his vast knowledge and continuing research on treatments of getting to the root cause of my personal journey with chronic Lyme and several co infections.. He's very caring and will do everything possible to help his patients😊 like me.. I do struggle with my disease and I appreciate all of the staff ~ especially Emily💕..she works directly with Dr. Laufer, is very sweet as well as quick to respond to emails from my husband for any questions or concerns😊💚.. that's a very rare quality in a medical group and much appreciated!! Thank you for your patience, support and understanding when I need a little help!! I'm very happy to be a part of the Holtorf Medical group family🤗..Now let's talk about treatment in the infusion room😊..wow!! It's awesome!! I'm usually there all day and Daniel is one of the best at putting in an IV, making sure patients are completely comfortable and they have juice, water and snacks for you!!I have never once had a bruise from an IV by him😎💚😊..the Dr's and staff come in and get IV treatments as well!! They believe in how they are treating their own patients so they practice what they teach!! My favorite infusion is a 10 pass of ozone.. I also love the high dose vitamin C and super immune boosting vitamins and minerals😊!!Another incredible benefit from them are Holtraceuticals! They are supplements we use for our entire family!! I don't use any other supplements and they are excellent with helping out with ordering and it's also online💚.. my family orders never stop because they work synergistically with other immune modulators prescribed byDr. Laufer for me and keeps my family healthy!! Thank you guys!! Then they have an amazing compounding pharmacy on site for patients as well and they do everything possible to help you with orders from Drs there as well as calling in for refills promptly and efficiently😊🤗!! Thank you💚There is so much more I could say about Holtorf Medical Group and the staff🤗💚🙏🏻.. They have an excellent facility, caring staff and I absolutely love Dr. Laufer..he's my favorite of course and he really wants to see positive results.. you have to do the work though!! Being consistent is what I learned to be most effective in my journey as it continues.. I'm thankful for getting back to the root cause with Dr. Laufer and he studies labs intently before appointments because blood work doesn't lie..😊 and he treats me accordingly. I have complete faith in their way of getting to the root cause.. everyone has a different healing journey and they will definitely be there to help you through .. Thank you guys so much!!😊See you all soon!!Much Love💚.Joanna Lynn Etter

I can't say enough good about this place. I see Dr Bullington in Atlanta. I struggled for about 9 years before going to her and was misdiagnosed previously. Luckily she got me in the best health I have been in probably 20 years. That lead me to a pregnancy and being a mom was a dream come true. She listens to me and how i feel. That is not true of many doctors in the traditional system.

I love the Holtorf clinic. They care about their patients and go above and beyond to look for and treat root cause. They don't just give you a medication (or supplement) and tell you to deal with it for the rest of your life. The goal is always to get the patient to optimum health. It's health care, not sick care. Highly recommend.

I've seen Holtorf Medical Group since the age of 21. I'm now 37 and still utilize their help today. In a 16 year period I've seen many of their doctors and they're always on point in their own unique & very present way.They've saved me a world of pain (pun intended) for almost 2 decades in ways that one's primary can't always fix without often additive or harmful medications or approaches as the only solution.Thank God, for places like this that have sound, alternative, advanced & safe options of healing or dealing in pain, fatigue and energy. (My issues). Fact is, I seriously don't know what I would have done without them in all this time.Their staff and doctors are always above and beyond and the treatments are always not only awesome alternatives but of the modern standard that work much better & are healthier approaches.Holtorf is definitely worth it. It's beyond a struggle to deal in physical situations that often strip our lives away as far as our true ability to shine 100% capability from due to our unique ailments. I seriously suggest checking Holtorf out and trust me I'm a tough critic when it comes to successful treatment in this department.In the end, they're my #1 go to for 16 years and I have many go to's similar but simply not close to their staff, reputation, treatment options & serious care & desire for back to well-being over money believe it or not. ☆☆☆☆☆

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Evan’s for almost a year. If your hormones are out of whack, she can help stabilize them. She is incredibly thorough and is careful to make sure your blood panels reflect proper balance when starting bioidentical HRT.This is not a pellet injection place where you are stuck on a dosage with fingers crossed the right combo was prescribed. A baseline is established and medication added and tweaked until you reach optimal levels.Gone are the nightly hot flashes and I feel great.The office is friendly (special shout out to Kim!) and there is a convenient compounding pharmacy on site.In addition to HRT, they have all sorts of holistic offerings including b12 shots, ozone therapy and aesthetic procedures. My husband has an uncomfortable bone spur and I plan on getting him in for non-invasive prolotherapy.I’m very pleased with my ongoing treatments and 100% recommend.

I found Holtorf through my doctor and brought my son who has Lyme and mold toxicity. We’ve just started working with Dr Hunt, and so far have found the office efficient and caring of our needs and experience, which is genuinely rare in my experience with auto immune and PANDAS practitioners. I would highly recommend their office to anyone who needs their auto immune issues sorted out.,

I love this practice. They possibly saved my life. Dr. Evans helped me manage my thyroid properly for the first time in my adult life, and that alone would have been a game changer! But then she went on to properly diagnose a fungal sinus infection that had been mystifying doctors for 10 YEARS! The fungus had filled my entire left sinus and was trying to make its way to my brain. And finally after 10 years of misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting, someone finally listened to me and was able to help. Dr. Evans was right about everything - she encouraged me to get a new ENT & advocate for imaging, which I did. As soon as we got a CT scan, my new ENT confirmed Dr. Evans. Yep, fungal ball in my sinus. After surgery with the ENT and a detox protocol at Holtorf, I’d say I’m 95% better. I’m better than I ever THOUGHT I could be. If you have a mystery or chronic illness and need a “Dr. House” level approach to figuring it out, Holtorf Medical Group is your best move. Now my boyfriend and I both go there, and we are healthier than we could have imagined. I’m GRATEFUL! 🙏🏼

I have had a great experience with HMG. They took on my complex medical case and worked through it with cutting edge therapies, supplements, and medications to bring me back to good health. Their doctors and MAs are top notch and I wish I would have found them a decade ago.

Dr. Evans is a rare genius. She’s intuitive, knowledgeable, kind, and adjusts to each person she sees, rather than requiring them to adjust to her. She has saved my life, and helped at least 30 of my friends. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!

Dr Lisa Hunt is the only doctor I've ever had who read every page of my intake paperwork to save me time at my first appointment. She's incredibly compassionate and hears me - which is rare for Lyme patients. She understands the complexities of multiple conditions and works within my budget. She's been my doctor for over a year now.The entire staff is amazing - from the front door to the IV room. They're knowledgeable, compassionate and funny. The pharmacists are great. I love HMG - they've been a game changer.

I have so much I could say! I had been struggling with hypothyroidism for a couple years in and out of hospitals endless doctors who kept telling me my thyroid is fine. I've been sent to eye doctors, Kaisers endocrinologists, neurologists.... You name it I've had brain scans, cat scans, MRI's, endless bloodwork just to leave with a referral to psychiatry and a prescription for vertigo. i was at a point where I felt completely disabled and had no hope left. a friend told me about Holtorf and my husband agreed it was time to try something new. I was blessed with Dr. Laufer and his amazing liaison Emily! My first appointment Dr. Laufer asked me a million questions and gave me soooo much information I had no idea about. He spent an hour with me and made sure I left with hope. He did more bloodwork than I even knew existed. He knew I had hypothyroidism but tested me for everything from Lyme disease to mold exposure!! He finally got me on the right medications and continues to monitor me regularly. Our appointments are never rushed and Dr. Laufer cares! He even remembers what I tell him and asks about my moms cancer and my kids. I have questions all the time and Emily emails me back always the same day. We have actually become great friends because she has been there for me emotionally through the hardest time in my life. She has Hashimotos which makes it even better because she gets it! Everything I tell her she is compassionate and caring and never makes me feel like I'm not important! I will forever be a Holtorf patient!!!

Dr. Evans has helped me regain my life and energy. She is deeply knowledgeable of the ecosystem of the body, and how each function balances another. I love the compounding pharmacy that they have on site too! I can get my medication and some supplements and know that they are the highest quality with no fillers. Marcy at the front desk is also such a warm and positive person to be greeted by upon arrival. She really sets the tone for the whole office.

Dr. Evans saved my life! I was feeling so out of sorts (hormonal 40's)and I couldn't get the help I needed from my regular doctor. She did different types of testing and within weeks had me feeling better than I had in years. I am so glad I went Holtorf Medical Group, they also have their own Pharmacy, Supplements which makes it all very easy! Highly recommend them.

Seven years ago I had prolotherapy for both ankles, both wrists, knees, lower back, and shoulders. Prolotherapy injects dextrose and/or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) into joints to repair. Professional athletes have used this practice for many years. The typical recommendation is 4 treatments. I had 10 treatments because the success was incredible. For the first time in years, I felt great and was pain-free.Recently, the pain returned and I was seeking more treatments. Holtorf Medical Group offered Prolozone therapy, which is the same type of treatment but injects ozone instead of PRP. Within the first treatment, I was relieved from pain before I even left the doctor’s office. I cannot express enough how highly I recommend Prolozone. It was a miracle! If you’re experiencing joint or arthritis pain, I suggest Prolozone and hope it helps you as much as it helped me.

This place has changed my life! Dr. Lisa Hunt has been amazing! I struggled with chronic fatigue and hormonal issues to name a few things. After multiple appointments with my primary care and OB (both of which said I was tired because I have 4 kids and should take a vacation) I was recommended by a friend to Dr. Lisa. She was so attentive as I described my symptoms and never made me feel insignificant or dumb. She ran every test possible, it felt (none of which my other drs would do) and found I had a thyroid issue, low iron and vitamin D, low cortisol, a few other things along with 4 respiratory infections, all which cause fatigue!! I've been taking multiple supplements for 5 months now and feel amazing!!! My energy is back, my hormonal swings are good, cravings are better and I feel like the old me. I so appreciate how available Dr. Lisa and the staff are whenever I have a question! My appointments are over the phone because we live a few hours away but that hasn't compromised my level of care. I cant say enough great things about Dr. Lisa and Holtorf Medical Group. It's been expensive but you can't put a price on your health and I feel GREAT!!
