Our comment from Nutrifinder.net about Center For Occupational & Environmental Medicine (COEM):
The Center For Occupational & Environmental Medicine (COEM) is renowned for its patient-centered and holistic approach to healthcare. Patients consistently rave about the courteous, thorough, and dedicated team, with many expressing deep appreciation for the personalized care they receive from Dr. Elliott and Dr. Weirs. Their practices emphasize understanding the root causes of health issues rather than merely addressing symptoms, which has led to transformative health outcomes for many families involved in long battle with chronic conditions such as mold toxicity, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.
Highlights of COEM include:
- Exceptional Staff: The team is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, with many reviews highlighting their efficient, friendly demeanor.
- Thorough Explanations: Both doctors are praised for their thoroughness in examinations and willingness to engage with patients, enhancing their understanding of complex health issues.
- Effective Treatments: The innovative treatment protocols and commitment to addressing underlying health conditions have resulted in positive, life-changing experiences for many patients.
- Holistic Approach: The clinic's emphasis on a holistic approach to wellness, integrating environmental and functional medicine, resonates deeply with those seeking comprehensive care.
While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few patients have reported concerns related to the costs involved and occasional lapses in customer service, underscoring the need for continuous improvement. Nonetheless, the overall sentiment places COEM as a leading choice for functional medicine practitioners.
Center For Occupational & Environmental Medicine (COEM): Reviews
Fantastic experience: The staff is always courteous, thoughtful, efficient, and thorough. I am extremely happy with the doctor's assistance; he is sensitive to my concerns, he is able to answer a myriad of my questions, and he tackles my health issues all with a confidence borne from years of education and experience. In so doing, he not only addresses my health concerns and challenges but cares for my mental state of being; his holistic approach to healing and optimum health is priceless. I feel confident that I am being well cared for, and I am very grateful for the services provided by COEM. Thank you!
Hello Brenda. Thank you so much for appreciating us and especially the work of the staff in addition to Dr. Elliott. We work hard as a partner with our patients to help them reach their health goals. It is all the easier when we have patients who are confident in us and comfortable with our approach. It is us who are grateful for the opportunity to work with you!
Fantastic experience: Love COEM. Dr. Elliott is the best. I know he sincerely cares about me and my health.
Hello Katie. Thank you for sharing your kind words about Dr. Elliott in particular and the practice in general. It is our honor to serve your healthcare needs.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs was very thorough in his explanations and recommendations. I have been going to this practice for about 14 years, and wouldn’t go anywhere else for my care.
Thank you for your vote of confidence in Dr. Weirs and COEM Akelajo. It has been a pleasure to have you be a part of our practice!
Fantastic experience: My 2nd visit and I couldn't be happier with the way things are going. The doctor listens & makes recommendations, which is unheard of in the GP's office. I feel much better and we are tracking the numbers to feel even better. Everyone in the office is so happy and pleasant. It is a pleasure going there!
Hello Rosanne. We are so glad you have had a wonderful experience with COEM in general and Dr. Elliott in particular. He loves his patients and truly wants them to succeed on their healthcare journey. We are very pleased you are seeing results and we are here to help.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elliott is the best doctor ever. We live out of state and he is still our doctor. They don’t make doctors like him anymore. The staff is 100% efficient.
Hello Ms. Middendorf. Thank you for the kind words about Dr. Elliott and the staff! We agree that Dr. Elliott is a one of a kind physician who really cares and is extremely thorough. We look forward to continuing to serve your healthcare needs.
Fantastic experience: Top shelf timer service and great staff. Dr Elliot is one of the best Dr’s I have encountered. Very thorough with his attention to his patients.
Thank you for letting us serve your healthcare needs. We have let Dr. Elliott know your feedback. He prides himself of extensive preperation for appointments and for his care and compassion for patients.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elliott and his team are absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 recommend giving them a shot!
Thank you Jacob. We are delighted you have had a great experience at COEM and with Dr. Elliott specifically. We think he is pretty amazing too!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the exceptional care my entire family has received at the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine (COEM) under the expertise of Dr. Stephen Elliott. After years of struggling with mold poisoning, lifelong health issues, and an overwhelming toxic burden, we had been endlessly bouncing from specialist to specialist, searching for answers—until we found COEM. For over 10 years, I had been seeing functional medicine doctors, trying to piece together what was causing my ongoing health struggles. While I learned a lot along the way, it wasn't until coming to COEM that we truly found the root cause of my issues. Dr. Elliott’s thorough and precise approach finally connected the dots and gave me the answers I had been searching for. Not only has this clinic transformed my health, but it has also been life-changing for my husband and our three-year-old daughter, who were also exposed to mold. The level of care, precision, and dedication COEM provides is unparalleled. Dr. Elliott and his team take the time to uncover and treat the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms, offering a truly holistic, patient-centered approach. Their expertise in environmental and functional medicine has given us hope, healing, and a path forward we never thought possible. Beyond their exceptional medical expertise, the staff at COEM is incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to ensure every patient—including children—feels heard, valued, and supported throughout their healing journey. The compassion and thoroughness they have shown in treating not just me, but also my husband and young daughter, have been invaluable to our family’s recovery. This is truly one-of-a-kind healthcare, and we are beyond grateful for everything COEM has done for us. If you are considering seeking care here, it is absolutely worth paying out of pocket—this is what healthcare should be. Once you experience COEM, you will never go back to the traditional healthcare model or practice!
Hello Kindall. We are so honored to have you and your family as patients. It is a great responsibility to take care of one person but when three people from one family trust us to care for them it is humbling. You are trully a partner in this healthcare journey and it is always a pleasure to see you and the family at various appointments. We certainly look forward to continuing to work with you. Your daughter especially lights up the whole office with her smile when she comes here. It has been a long journey for you and we always appreciate your feedback. COEM strives to provide the highest quality care we can at an affordable price. You certainly have had your share of investing in your health and that of your family. Not all practices are equal and while we may not be perfect we do try very hard to ensure every one of our patients has a pleasant experience overall and feels the caring, competency, and compassion that has made us successful for close to 50 years. We look forward to seeing you and the family in the office soon.
Negative experience: I was seen there a few years ago and couldn’t be more disappointed? Not only was I asked to pay $1000 upfront for which I had an exam in the kitchen because I was told they were busy and didn’t have an examining room available. On top that all my lab work was paid by me, however the office billed my ins as well. When I called my ins I was told that the practice owed back funds for something it was paid but shouldn’t and didn’t return them. For that reason my reimbursement to me was withheld so that the funds owed back by the practice would satisfy the owed funds which amounted to around $300, what a sham. I wonder how many people like me were duped. I got nothing for my $1000 plus the money owed to me by my insurance for which this practice was credited. That was a lot of money for a widowed retiree, I’m still very upset. My stepson referred me there was also a patient.
Ms. Carlson while we appreciate you writing a review your comments are absolutely false. You were last seen at COEM in 2014! We have not accepted insurance assignment for over 30 years. We opted out of medicare over 20 years ago. Nothing about your review is accurate to the information we have on file. Not the amount spent, the timeframe you suggest, or your experience. IF you chose to file with your insurance and/or medicare and were told by your insurance company something untruthful we have no control over that. WE DO NOT FILE AND WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CHECKS FROM INSURANCE EVEN IF A PATIENT FILES. We are certainly sorry you were not happy with your experience but if a family member was a patient and referred you clearly they felt we had something positive to contribute towards your health. We have been in business almost 50 years now. We can't please everyone but we pride ourselves on the many thousands of happy patients. We encourage anyone seeing these reviews to also read what others are saying. Almost all are 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: COEM is the best!!
Thanks Adria for entrusting COEM to care for your health.
Fantastic experience: Perfection. Dr. Elliot & Dr. Weirs are both fantastic physicians. They listen and they hear you. The entire Team at COEM is top notch. They do medicine the right way.
Thank you Angela for appreciating Drs. Elliott and Weirs and the team at COEM. We work hard to ensure our patients receive the maximum health outcomes and great value for the money they invest in their healthcare. It is always a pleasure to work with patients who are invested in themselves and appreciate the side by side relationship with their providers.
Negative experience: The worst service I have ever received. I scheduled and paid $550 for a one-hour telehealth consultation with Dr. Weirs, which, in reality, lasted no more than two minutes. During this brief interaction, no tests were conducted, and I received no new information. To clarify, I had already requested the tests that Dr. Weirs suggested. Dr. Weirs informed me that I should submit my test results for his review, and he would provide further recommendations based on those results. I explicitly inquired whether this follow-up consultation would incur any additional charges, and Dr. Weirs assured me that it would not. Upon receiving my test results, I promptly forwarded them to Dr. Weirs and requested an appointment to discuss them. However, just two minutes before the scheduled appointment, I received a call from this organzaition informing me that an additional charge of $280 would be applied for this consultation. I reiterated that I had been informed by Dr. Weirs that no additional charges would apply, and after being placed on hold for 25 minutes, I was offered an alternative solution: a 30-minute appointment for $180. This situation is deeply concerning. Not only was I charged $550 for a two-minute consultation, but the agreement made with Dr. Weirs was not honored. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and the significant delay in communication added to my frustration. Please avoid this organization unless you want to waste your money and your time.
Good afternoon Mr. Vazquez. In response to your very inaccurate and inappropriate review we would like to set the record straight. You had an appointment in early October with Dr. Weirs. You conducted this appointment via zoom and we have proof that the zoom call was 63 minutes in length. Further we have an internal progress note showing similar times to support that you had your complete appointment. You not only discussed your own health but that of your wife and even your dog! Certainly that would not be possible in a two-minute appointment now would it? We have spoken to Dr. Weirs and he clarified that you were told to send your lab test results for review and a follow up appointment. At no time did he indicate it would be free. You are a working professional so you should appreciate that no one is going to provide services for free. When you called in and were told this and were unhappy it was decided to offer you a 30 minute appointment as requested but only charge you for the cost of a 15-minute appointment. Instead of being greatful for this when you were not due anything, you cursed out the employee, Meg, whom you spoke, to and told her many nasty things. So much show that after your disturbing call she came in to report this to her manager in tears and shaking as she explained that in all of her professional career no one had EVER spoken to her the way you did. We are sorry if you do not like to pay for services when they are rendered but no doctor's office is going to see you for free. It is absurd for you to expect otherwise. It is also very interesting that almost two months went by from the time of your initial appointment until you requested a follow up and at no time prior did you complain of having had an appointment shorter than the time promised when you paid for the initial appointment. We are fee for service. All fees are discussed upfront and all patients are made aware of exactly what they are responsible for. At no time did anyone lie to you or try to coerce you to pay for something you did not ask for. It is shameful how you have lied in your post. We know the truth and we can back it up with multiple forms of proof including a very lengthy progress note and evidence from Zoom directly. We suggest you take down this slanderous post and find another outlet for your anger. Good luck to you in your search for improved health. We can no longer assist you in anyway based on your behavior.
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! Drs were so engaging and caring. If you are looking for a functional medical facility, I highly recommend.
Thank you Pam for your kind words and for allowing us to partner with you in your healthcare journey!
Fantastic experience: Incredibly patient and kind office. Dr. Elliott is a doctor who doesn't just write a prescription and send you on your way but digs to find the root of the problem. I feel very blessed to have him and his staff in my life.
Hello Kerri. We are so happy that you connected with Dr. Elliott and had a great experience. It is our pleasure to serve you.
Positive experience: I am a current patient of COEM and was a patient back in 2010-2011. My 2010-2011 experience is above and beyond what I had ever experienced in the medical field, Dr. Leiberman at the time successfully treated me and I had not had any issues until early 2022. I probably shouldve continued yearl/bi yearly visits with the practice. My latest 2023 visits with COEM I have mixed feelings about - when you are visiting with Dr. Weir you have his full attention, he cares, he is knowledgeable but unfortunately the follow through has not been amazing, Im not sure if its him or the team but I dont really want to point fingers - did not receive any real training on self administered desensitization shots, the instructions are in an email I received after asking for them. Additionally, I had to ask if I needed to follow any specific diet protocol after being treated with nystatin - in the past all of this was heavily spoon fed to me as a client. Im a mid 30's IT guy, relatively smart but sometimes piecing all of this together can be overwhelming, so its important to have practitioners/practitioner team that is willing to guide you every step. I still plan on being a patient for the time being but I believe the communication abilities of this practice need to find its way back to how it was in the 2010. I additionally feel as if most people can still find better guidance here than general practitioners in corporate medical systems. Providing this feedback because I hold this practice in very high regards but still feel it has areas in which it needs to improve.
Hello Mr. Leonard. Thank you for reaching out to share your experience with us. After reviewing your most recent interactions with the office it would seem that despiste quite a few emails and discussions back and forth did not clear up all of your questions. We would certainly appreciate the opportunity to speak to you further in detail about each of your points. We have been serving patients as you know since 1978 and like yourself many of them come and go, seeking us out as new health needs arise. Nothing has changed in the way we work with patients. You are a very thorough person and we appreciate that you advocate for yourself. If only most patients did this it would benefit everyone. Sometimes it is difficult to completely address all concerns in multiple emails without the benefit of an actual appointment. We think going forward your needs would be better served through an appointment rather than multiple emails with detailed questions. As to your order from testing as you know there is a process of testing, report of delays from testing, review by the doctor and the lab, emails back to confirm any antigen order, and then the actual creation of the order. We are extremely busy this time of year with kids just going back to school and people getting back into work after summer vacations. We generally request 7-10 business days at a minimum to make all orders. As you know they are custom made. Please feel free to reach out to the office at your convenience and ask for Jylissa, the Office Manager. She will be happy to discuss this further. We certainly don't want to let you down and we hope to regain your confidence going forward. COEM
Fantastic experience: the physicians (liebermann and Weirs) have given me so much useful information since 2001 which is generally available 5-10 years before it is considered general medical information. Dr Weirs has given me insight to help me understand how systems affect one another and helped me avoid knee replacements.
We appreciate your insight Netta into COEM being on the cutting edge. Thank you for allowing us to partner with you on your Healthcare journey.
Fantastic experience: Doctors & staff are very nice, compassionate, efficient, thorough, friendly, & knowledgeable. They use the only allergy testing & treatment injections, provocation-neutralization, that work for me.
Thank you Sue for giving us the opportunity to care for your healthcare needs.
Fantastic experience: I have been a very brittle allergy patient since 1980, and I know from personal experience how hard it is to find a really good allergy treatment center. COEM is a world-class operation using methods that are two generations ahead of the Johns Hopkins scratch test method in common use across the United States. People with serious immune problems such as myself are not candidates for traditional scratch testing, and COEM is one of the very few viable alternatives. This treatment methodology saved my life back in 1980 when I was dying of an immune system collapse following cancer treatment. In a sense, I owe my life to Dr. Carlton Lee, to Dr. Edwin Shepherd, and Oberg (Crystal Lake, IL) and to Dr. Lieberman and Dr. Weirs at COEM. Brent Reed, MSEE, PE Retired
Fantastic experience: I hope you don't have issues that need COEM, but if you have immune & environmental issues, there are no others in whom I'd put my trust before Dr Lieberman and his team. I first went to COEM in the late 80's during my early college years, during an extreme bout of total systemic overload. I'll never forget arriving there - hobbling in jogging sweats and on crutches, with my knees so swollen I could not wear jeans, could hardly see straight due to the non-stop migraines (chemical induced) that i'd been having for months, and unable to think straight. The staff helped me thru intake, history, and did a deep-dive into my issues over an hour or two. Then Dr Lieberman came in, met briefly with me, and after a bit they said they would be able to help me with the pain before I left for lunch. The first treatment they did was absolutely miraculous - I was able to go out the door in 30 minutes without crutches, able to walk and talk, and even my headache was gone. within 12 hours I had virtually no swelling. Calling it virtually miraculous is well....accurate. That was the start of something completely new in my life, for which I can never thank them enough. I was able to resume college, play sports, start a career, and continue my life. It took 3-5 years of diligent treatment to fully recover my immune system (which was exactly what they had originally told me), but I was able to travel the world for decades as a result of the treatments Dr Lieberman & the team worked up for me. There are very few MD's who are truly leading their fields. This is a group who aren't just the leaders-they are the pioneers.
Fantastic experience: VERY COEMS
Fantastic experience: Really appreciated the help and insight that Dr. Weirs offered. Was glad to speak with someone so knowledgeable about mold, Lymes disease, and other illnesses. Spent an hour during the consultation with him, talking about the different illnesses I was concerned about. Per recommendation; I also started taking the DGL PLUS - LICORICE / SLIPPERY ELM supplement for my acid reflux and Gurd. And I must say, I was taking 3+ Tums per day & I haven’t taken one in weeks! Will definitely be purchasing those again!
Fantastic experience: Highly attentive and caring.
Negative experience: I would not recommend this practice I expected more for $3000. During my time at COEM I never felt like a patient. I felt like a consumer. I felt like I was an inconvenience. Do you ever go to a doctors office and you want to scream because you feel like no one’s listening to you …that’s what I feel like here. They have a cookie cutter approach, so it doesn’t really matter what you say. I wish I would’ve went with Cell core. It’s not a cookie-cutter protocol and it’s 1/3 of the price. You can call Cell core directly and they will provide a practitioner in your area. I’m not saying COEM‘s protocol won’t help you I’m just saying you can get an equally effective protocol for a third of the price and it’s tailored to you. Every time you go to a new doctor your taking a gamble with your money ...why gamble with 3000 when you can gamble with 1000. From the research I’ve done cell core is the only company that has gotten results while people are currently living in there mold, toxin environments. I didn’t feel well coem protocols but I haven’t had any side effects with Cell core. when I reached out to coem to tell them, I wasn’t feeling well and ask them what to do. I never received a return phone call. Maybe it was an off day for them but I have seen dogs at veterinarian offices that were treated better than I felt like I was treated. In my experience, I made the wrong choice by choosing Coem
Fantastic experience: Every staff member at COEM was excellent. I felt well taken care of. I came away feeling understood and hopeful to have my health restored.
Fantastic experience: Totally changed my life
Fantastic experience: The doctor and staff are very professional and attentive to my needs. The time spent with me was thorough and efficient. I would highly recommend COEM to others seeking expert health advice.
Fantastic experience: He's always so helpful and informative.
Fantastic experience: Through the care of COEM I have improved my gut and now have lost 28 pounds. Also improved my allergies and much more.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is awesome and has truly helped our family!
Fantastic experience: It is wonderful and Dr. Weirs is the best doctor ever. They have helped me with my foods allergies, etc. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Weirs and COEM
Fantastic experience: His intention in my appointment was to ASK WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR and to LISTEN to my answers and to everything I had been feeling and EVEN everything that I thought could be going on. He didn't shush me as if I had been reading Web MD for 10 years and didn't make me feel like I was too stupid to know that something was wrong in my own body like the multiple other doctors have been treating me over the last decade. Had I not been directed to COEM by a family member, I would have had to continue trusting the lackluster medical community in Savannah, Georgia with my life. I've already wasted my 30s and into my 40s on this. Dr.Weirs and his team are intent on saving my life. Nobody cared about doing that before.
Fantastic experience: The initial intake, interview with the medical historian and the time spent with the doctor was so helpful in understanding the root cause of my health concerns. Understanding is always a good place to begin!
Hi Jan, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Positive experience: Had a good experience. Dr. Weirs is very friendly, kind and caring. I just wish they had the allergy testing going on when I came
Hi Jenn, Thanks for the positive feedback. I know that Dr. Weirs will be pleased to read your review as well. Thanks again and please be sure to give our office a call or visit if you have any questions.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is a highly intelligent and caring man!!
Hi Michael, Thank you for the kind review. I'll pass on your positive comments to Dr. Weirs as well. Our whole team works hard to provide each patient with exceptional care. We hope we have achieved this and welcome you to our office anytime you may need us.
Fantastic experience: I recommend De. Weir to at least one person every week!
Hi Laine, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! I'll ensure that Dr. Weirs is aware of your excellent review as well. We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: I was becoming symptomatic to foods in general, making eating very difficult. Finding foods that I wouldn't have a reaction to, cooking and shopping was time consuming and even depressing. I am doing much better with the allergy shots, which are very easy to do. I finally have hope, and I can now eat out at restaurants after years of avoiding.
Hi Leah, Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to leave us such a positive review! We're glad to hear that you had an exceptional experience and that you are entirely satisfied with our care. Thank you once again and be sure to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Positive experience: Addressing root causes and treating the whole person is critical for wellness. The wealth of experience and high quality products is outstanding. In my experience with my daughter I could have wished for a video of our visit, a 30 min afternoon follow up session with Dr. Weirs, and additional time with Cierra as described in the Advanced New Patient Appointment handout. This is why we booked two nights in a hotel. After our initial appointment, we were instructed to come 1/2 hr early the next morning before our Life Coach session so we could have that follow up. You can imagine our disappointment when we arrived to learn that neither Dr. Weirs nor Ciera were available. Also, the Treatment Plan handout was very confusing as much of it did not relate to Naomi and lacked detail about the different supplements, what they were for, and their order of importance for my daughter. The patient rep was very kind to get the products we had decided to purchase and did answer some of my questions but we went home feeling confused and overwhelmed. Larry is wonderful and made the morning worth it! I also appreciated Dr. Weirs' efforts in creating a treatment plan before we even arrived. Overall, I feel quite hopeful that we can fine-tune the treatment plan and get our daughter on the road to recovery. A helpful word about folks w/DS: Speak to the person as much as possible, with the parents as back-up. Use concrete language, speak slowly while making eye-contact, and above all give them a chance to be heard. Thanks so much for your help, and we look forward to working with you toward optimal help for our daughter. We think we are seeing some small improvements already.
Fantastic experience: Dr Elliott and Dr Weirs really get to the root of medical issues and offer practical and functional solutions based on my needs and lab results.
Hello Ms. Walker. It is truly our pleasure to be able to take care of your healthcare needs. We appreciate your patronage and for the many years you have been a part of our practice. Wishing you continued health!
Negative experience: No offense to Dr Lieberman, but he needs to retire! He’s a very nice man, but he could not remember what questions he had already asked and would repeat himself the few times I went in. His assistant, Caroline Duncan, I was not impressed with her at all! I felt rushed and felt like my issues and concerns were not addressed appropriately. She came across rude on a few occasions. They nickel and dime you for everything! I had to pay $30 for a lab requisition in order to get blood work at MUSC!!! They say you need this and that, and push several supplements on you! Do not recommend!
Dear Ms. Dixon. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are not aware of any interaction with you in the last fourteen months so this review came as a surprise. We are more than happy to address your concerns if you would please call the office at 843-572-1600. We have thousands of very satisfied patients which is reflected in our high review score. As with any business there is always room for improvement, which we take seriously. At age 87, Dr. Lieberman practices what he preaches which has enabled him to have a long and healthy life and career and he is well-loved by patients. We are sorry you felt differently. For the record every service we recommend and any products we suggest that are a part of your treatment plan are presented in a professional manner and are noted in writing in an estimate. All patients have full informed consent and decide what treatment if any to pursue. All costs are known upfront as opposed to every other medical setting in which charges are not often known at the time they are rendered and surprise after-billing shows up out of the blue. We do not charge for anything without full disclosure and consent. Further, there are costs to providing services in any practice. We are sorry if you felt our fee for service structure was not satisfactory but we do pride ourselves on making sure patients are aware of what they are spending their money on and what they get for that. We wish you continued success on your healthcare journey should we not hear back from you. COEM
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Weirs. He is always empathetic and a great listener to all my concerns in order to give me the best diagnosis and treatment, as well as the management of the ailment. He is the best!
Hi Susan, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, please give us a call. Thanks again for your kind recommendation.
Fantastic experience: COEM was a lifesaver for me and my child. Dr Weirs was very patient with us. I recommend them frequently.
Hi Sandy, Your feedback is much appreciated. We always aim to make your care and experience the best that it can be. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if there is ever anything else we can do for you. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr Weirs is an outstanding medical professional. I'm honored to be a patient of COEM. He is never in a hurry and ALWAYS treats me as if I'm the only patient he has to see that day. Amazing diagnostication. I've been a patient since 2011. I can say the same fabulous things about Dr Lieberman, too ( I've been his patient the longest, but now see both MD's)! Kind and truly caring doctors. I highly recommend COEM!!
Hi Shawn, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’ve always strived to provide the best possible service and care, and are happy to have delivered this to you for all these years. Please feel free to visit our office whenever you may need us. Thanks again for your recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lieberman knows his specialty . You can tell he has worked with lots of people. Do what he suggest it works.
Hi Flora, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lieberman is caring and brilliant. He is always very helpful.
Hi, Thank you so much for the kind words! Patient experience is a top priority here and it puts a smile on my face to see that patients are satisfied with our care. Thanks again for the feedback and feel free to visit our office anytime!
Fantastic experience: Expect to be treated very well at COEM! They are the absolutely best place to go for a Functional Doctor who is well studied and who continues to study all their life to help others! They are great listeners...you DO NOT get that type of care at many places! I have the privilege of having Dr Weirs as my doctor! Very intelligent, listens well, caring, and he recommends certain helpful books. Great doctor! Plus, Dr Weirs has gained a lot of knowledge from Dr Lieberman....Woe! Dr Lieberman is super! Most people know that! He is so kind and sweet! Tons of wisdom he possesses! And, SO thankful I walked in from being out to lunch after allergy testing to see in the waiting room ...Dr Lieberman! I shook his hand and I had a few moments to chat with him! Will cherish that for a long time! I also had the privilege to meet the “new” to COEM...Dr Bernard. I really liked her as well! I hope to use her for GYN in the future. She is also a functional Doctor! (COEM is VERY clean and they do not allow certain chemical odors to come into their nice interior! The office is being beautifully transformed right now! Looks nice.) The thermoscan could not have gone any better. What a very dear lady Caroline is! She is very intelligent and knows her stuff! Made me feel very comfortable before, during , and after my thermoscan! Could not have been a better experience! The new massage therapist , Crystal was wonderful! I was there at COEM for two days and I had two massages! Love the massages and I loved her! Very good personality! And then, last but not least by any means ....was Ciera ! She was THE ALLERGY THERAPIST! I am so impressed with Ciera, she is a “miracle worker” indeed! She is a VERY hard worker! Not many could do her job! Great personality! She is quite busy, but keeps it together! She is SO ORGANIZED! The front desk workers , Lisa Marie and Gina, are superb at their jobs..I’m amazed at the organized place they keep, files galore! They take care of ALL those calls from health struggling folks like me! There also workers there that I did not personally meet. Hopefully next trip over:) I travel 3 hours to go to the place! So worth every minute! I also noticed that a lot of the workers fill in where needed! So very impressed with COEM, I could say more but will stop for now!
Hi Donna, Thank you so much for the kind words! Patient experience is a top priority here and it puts a smile on my face to see that patients are satisfied with our care. Thanks again for the feedback and feel free to visit our office anytime!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wiers and his staff are effective, efficient and have a warm bedside manner. We love that the doctor never stopped working for us, even when typical oncologists gave up and told my husband to go home and die (no exaggeration). Dr. Weirs told us that they weren't giving up on fighting my husband's pancreatic cancer, and then proceeded to explain all the work he had done on my husband's behalf and gave us treatment options. We will forever be grateful to these wonderful people.
Hi Molly, Thank you so much for the kind words! Patient experience is a top priority here and it puts a smile on my face to see that patients are satisfied with our care. Thanks again for the feedback and feel free to visit our office anytime!
Fantastic experience: the Dr spent a good amount of time with us and made us feel like you could help us but did not say I am sure. We appreciated his honesty.
Fantastic experience: I love that yal do EVERYTHING natural! And I can tell that you've done your research!
Hi Sis, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wiers has been one of the best and if the best physician I have had. He is solution oriented and his goal is to assist patients in wellness.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lieberman is so very knowledgeable about unusual symptoms. He’s the best at finding answers and treating in beneficial ways. He’s about building health rather than prescribing pharmaceuticals.
Hi Susan, Thank you for the review! Every patient is very important to us and it's our goal to show this through our care. You are welcome anytime if you need our care.
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, listens intently, really fixes the problem. When I was in the testing room there were people there from all over the U.S. and one from Canada... Word gets out about something good.
Hi Starla, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: Going to COEM gave me clarity, hope and viable paths to move forward. It was affirming to hear that others with chemical sensitivities had similar reactions and changes in personality. I highly recommend this office.
Hi, Your feedback is much appreciated. We here at COEM aim to make your care and experience the best that it can be. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions at all. Thanks again for your kind recommendation.
Negative experience: I unfortunately cannot recommend COEM. After having such high hopes after reading a few reviews, I paid the new patient fees and thought I was going to find answers for my joint pain, stomach issues, Hashimotos, anxiety, and sensitivity to smells. After driving over two hours for my appointment, I could barely walk that day and I was met by Caroline who didn’t even offer to open the door or help with my belongings even though she could see me struggle to walk. The cold encounter continued as she went through my background and history information. I told myself I wasn’t here to see her and try not to get discouraged by her lack of a warm welcome as a new patient. Unfortunately her lack of empathy and no self-awareness continued throughout my time at COEM. I learned she is who I had to go through to get to the doctor and at best she treated me as an inconvenience. When your pharmacist tells you that she was speaking poorly of you over the phone, you know it’s unprofessional and immature. Although Dr Weirs completed any tests I requested, had I not done my own thorough research in what to request, I’m not sure how he would have helped. I believe he truly wants to help people but he could not find the root cause or relief for me. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on supplements and tests. The allergy department was continuously closed for unknown reasons when I tried to make an appointment and I was never able to complete my allergy testing that I paid for. After I addressed my issues with costs and treatment by Caroline, it became very clear to me they did not want me to continue as a patient as they were very short and not empathetic to me at all. As a paying customer who is sick and does not feel well, this was not a place I found compassion or very good bedside manner by the staff and I believe the doctors are unaware of how patients can be treated. I truly think Dr. Lieberman and Dr. Weirs hearts wants to help and heal, but there are so many systems in place that are not effective for the patient and you can feel the stress from the staff.
Dear Ms. Owens. Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review of your experiences. We are sorry that your experiences here were not what you had expected. We strive to treat all patients with dignity and respect. Much like yourself, patients travel from all over the world for care here at COEM. Most find it to be a wonderful place and are extremely satisfied with the results they get and the attention they receive by the entire staff. Clearly in your case we have failed that. It has been almost a year since we have heard from you and we would relish the opportunity to speak to you further to see how we can clear things up and start fresh. In regards to allergy testing please understand that changes were required during the Covid era. The testing department is in fact still closed but we are working on getting it back open soon. We sincerely hope you can appreciate the situation everyone is experiencing and the need to make sure we can offer a safe environment especially in a situation like allergy testing where there is very close contact between the provider and patient over an extended period of time. In regards to the cost of testing, this was at no charge to you. If you kindly review your paperwork it was 'included' at no cost. While you did not receive the service, you also never paid for it. Of course it is our desire to be able to offer these services in the near future again as soon as we are safely able to do so. We value your feedback and look forward to being able to discuss this in greater detail at your convenience. We request you to call the office at 843-572-1600. Thank you for your candid feedback and we wish you continued success in your health care journey. We do hope you will review the many happy patients who have left raving reviews many times since your visit. While we can't always satisfy everyone we do have an overwhelmingly positive reputation. We work hard to do what we can especially in consideration of the typical patients who come here that have been to many doctors prior to seeing us and who are dealing with very long-term and complex, multi-system, multi-organ chronic diseases. We always say that a person does not get sick overnight and will most likely not get better overnight. It is a gradual process but we sincerely strive to get the maximum medical recovery any given patient is innately able to achieve.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend COEM for your health and well-being needs. I find their services to be extensive and thorough surrounding my health needs.
Thanks so much for sharing with us a job well done!
Fantastic experience: Dr Weirs is an excellent Functional Medicine MD who consistently offers knowledge and advice for managing complex medical conditions.
We appreciate so much your trust and confidence in COEM in general and Dr. Weirs in particular. We look forward to serving your health care needs going forward.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Weirs is personable and professional!! His diagnosing is always on point and I get healing results!! His eagerness to help is remarkable!!
Thanks so much Ms. Sapp for sharing your success in treatment. You are the reason we come to work each day with a smile on our faces and an eagerness to serve.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for Dr. Weirs, very pleasant and attentive Doctor, always in touch and ready to answer all questions! My daughter has shown significant improvements in her blood test results and I am full of joy and hope for recovery. Happy to be your patient, COEM center!
We are grateful for your faith in us and for reaching out from such a long distance. We look forward to continuing to be a solid resource for you in regards to health.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lieberman is a passionate &caring Doctor.I highly recommend him!!
It is a tremendous pleasure to serve your health care needs all these years and for your continued appreciation for the results you are getting. We always enjoy seeing you as you are a very positive individual whom we relish interacting with.
Negative experience: Scammers! They sell snake oil and take advantage of people that are mentally unwell. Stay away!
Ms Patterson you are not a patient at COEM and never have been. We are experts at the evaluation and treatment of mold toxicity. Please explain who you are and why you are posting such nasty comments when you are not a patient of this practice and have never been seen before?
Fantastic experience: Dr William Weirs is awesome and has, for years, tried his utmost to help me live with a rare incurable disease. If you keep getting the same shrugging of shoulders from all your other Doctors - Make an appointment with Dr Weirs @ COEM. You will NOT be sorry!
Thanks so much Daniel for your candid feedback. We appreciate you entrusting us with your care and we hope to continue to serve you well.
Negative experience: BEWARE!!! HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE!! Please read Travis’ review as well on this site. PLEASE do not let yourself become a victim as we have at this practice. $1250.00 was required for FULL payment of all services and future appointments up front. After paying fully with huge hope and faith in this practice, I began a terrible, upsetting short-lived journey at this center. My medical history was overlooked to be taken and I had to call and email numerous times to remind them it was not done nor scheduled as promised. Critical in any patient journey and appointment. Then I had 1 first consult with Dr Weir and immediately realized that I was being given a cookie cutter protocol same as any and all patients that was not specialized to my needs or specific issues. I even outlined in my history that I have had 2 very bad asthmatic adverse reactions to 2 agents in prior detox, and yet then was given a list of agents at the end of my unimpressive consult that had these very 2 same supplements on them to take? The medical advice was not deeply clinical or scientific and several medical questions that I asked about the Annie Hopper program that they suggested, or chlorophylin, they could not answer? I have worked in the medial field for 30 years and was deeply troubled by the consult and care. I was then told that I would receive my protocol on dosing, usage and supplements and how to take all in a few hours, and no call ever came or guidance beyond a sheet to order and pay additional. But nothing in terms of a protocol or treatment plan with dosing, potential side-effects, nothing? All of this was paid for in advance too. There was no RN, NP or MA in the practice to assist with anything?? I then called and asked for my treatment plan and to see the other doctor in the practice moving forward. I was denied this by the CEO- the doctor’s son... Though this was promised to me prior to paying, that I could switch doctors at anytime. I have continued to email and call the CEO for my treatment plan, dosing guide and for my future appointment scheduling with the other physician and have not been able to get a response from one person in the office. I got one horrible email from the CEO when I called to talk to the practice after the consult to request the other physician and nothing more. I have begged and begged for them to simply call me and speak live or to refund my money since I am not being given anything I was promised when I was required to pay in full for all up front. To say that this has been a devastating ordeal would be putting it mildly. The cost of this service is extreme- and when insurance companies do not participate with a practice it is often for quality metrics and medical standards that are not being followed. Why else would this practice take no insurance nor insurance recognize payment for their care? This ordeal has worsened my condition, left me feeling utterly scammed, and in total disbelief that they are refusing to finish my services properly, as promised by Shannon twice, with the doctor of my choice. And now I have no treatment protocol or guidelines, no therapeutics or supplements that were included in my plan, and no call back or responses to my pleading emails. My only recourse now will be with the Better Business Bureau, and the Attorney General, so I can help others not have to go through this ordeal and lost money as I have. I am speechless.
After 42 years in serving the public with a very high level of care and consideration which is reflected in our high rating amongst most other reviewers this review is enlightening. Patients come to COEM from all over the world due to our stellar reputation and the knowledge and compassion we provide. Sometimes an individual has other ideas and I believe this is the case in this situaiton. We attempted to appease this patient numerous times including with additional time and consideration both by the staff and the physician treating her. Once someone disparages you and berates you both over the phone and via email so many times there is nothing more that can be said. We do hope she finds the care she desires and wish her good health and happiness in the future. We encourage any visitor to this review site to look at the many many positive comments and reviews to get a true picture of what the experience is like at COEM.
Fantastic experience: This is the second time I have come to COEM to get serious out of control health problems fixed. I came 7 yrs. ago literally allergic to everything, having gone to many doctors with no answers. They gave me my life back. I have returned because I know they are the only ones that can help me.
Hi, Thanks so much for your marvelous review! The entire staff here will be pleased to hear about the impact they’ve made in your life. Please know that you are welcome anytime, or give us a call if you ever have any questions.
Fantastic experience: The best Health in my entire Life!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Scott, The positive feedback is much appreciated! Great reviews like this always brighten up the office, so I'll be sure to let the staff know. Please be sure to come in whenever there’s anything we can help you with.
Fantastic experience: I trust Dr. Lieberman’s experience and his unique way of solving problems. When my son became ill with an auto immune disease, Dr. Lieberman is the first one I thought of.
Kim it is rewarding to hear your feedback and we are extremely pleased you came to us and entrusted us with your son's care.
Fantastic experience: Very Thankful for COEM! They helped me get my allergies under control along with natural solutions too, to help keep my body strong and healing. And they have solutions (that I'm not allergic to) for infections viral/bacterial. Thank you COEM, I tell all my friends about COEM when I hear of issues they are having that I know COEM can help with.
Hi Dana, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: I've always received top notch medical care @ COEM.
Hi Beth, Thank you so much for the review. We love hearing back from satisfied patients so we know that we're continuing to provide excellent care. We hope to provide you with quality care and will be glad to see you whenever you may need our care.
Fantastic experience: My experience at COEM was excellent. From the team of professionals who evaluated my history, to the clinicians who tested me, I received courteous, kind, attentive treatment. I was tested for allergies and had a blood work panel done. I consider my visit to COEM to be the first time I have ever received personalized healthcare!
Thanks so much Laura!
Negative experience: Some staff I have dealt with are kind while others have a NASTY attitude and act like it is an inconvenience that I have called them. They penny you to death and in my particular case, haven’t done anything for me but take my money. Only 1 good experience here for as long as I’ve been with them and that was the first time I came into the office.
Dear Ann. Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you feel upset about the recent interactions you have experienced with our office. Due to the nature of this being a medical office we will respond to you directly as is appropriate to the privacy of your relationship and care. In general we are happy you came for care with us and that you had a very good initial experience. As we are a fee for service facility all services we provide and all products and services a patient partakes of are to be paid for at the time services are rendered or products are purchased. All costs involved with care are known upfront and are ONLY charged upon your approval and request. There is NEVER any kind of after billing or surprise billing as is very common in the medical field in general. You always know where you stand with us and what the expectation is. Clearly we have failed to meet your expectations and for that we apologize. We have been providing extraordinary care to patients from all over the world for 42 years now at our current location. To our knowledge we are the least expensive for what we do and what we offer anywhere in the country. Most everyone we deal with is quite happy. Sometimes things do fall through the cracks or there are delays which are unforseen and not intentional. We will certainly look into your concerns further and get back to you. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us and for your patronage as a customer of our company.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.
Thanks Dale!
Fantastic experience: I love COEM. I have been coming there for many years. Everyone is so thoughtful and professional . Just wish we lived closer!
Hi Lloyd, Thanks for the five stars!
Fantastic experience: Expertise is unparrelled. Wellness is the emphasis. Highly recommend.
Positive experience: I think Dr. Liebermann and Weirs were great!! Very kind and certainly do their best to help their patient!! The ancillary staff I met at initial appointment were nice and informative!!! However, it can get VERY confusing as to who is who and who the correct contact person would be should you need something once you leave the appointment (esp.for out of town patients who do phone follow ups and dont return for follow ups). Several people will call or email you but never state their titles or their role in your care. Also, I called to speak with the Office Manager because I was planning to do a group order for my sisters and friends but some had allergies and needed to see the ingredients list on some of the creams they wanted to order but never was my call returned. This was unfortunate because they were excited to know they too could order from the Wellness store even though they were not COEM patients!! Please consider listing ingredients in the Wellness store ( esp.for those with allergies)!! Overall, nice establishment...just a few things that could be improved!
Hi, Thanks for the honest feedback and for trusting us with your care! We always strive to help each patient with all of their needs to provide the best experience possible. If you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: This practice is magical. They actually care. I cannot say enough about our experience. Dr Leiberman will find the missing puzzle piece to help you optimize your health. The staff is wildly competent. RUNNNN do not WALK to this practice!
Tracey we sincerely appreciate your feedback! We work hard to serve each and every patient and to truly find out what is causing their health issues while working with them for long-term success.
Fantastic experience: Great doctor and great approach! Like that he thinks outside the box. All the staff is wonderful too.
Hi Molly, Thank you so much for the kind words! I will let the rest of the staff know how pleased you were with your experience. Patient experience is a top priority here and it puts a smile on my face to see that patients are satisfied with our care. Thanks again for the feedback and feel free to visit our office anytime!
Fantastic experience: Dr Weirs and his staff were great to work with. They listen and are very knowledgeable. I was very pleased with my 1st visit and look forward to seeing them again.
Hi Brandon, Thanks so much for the marvelous review! I will pass on your kind words to Dr. Weirs. The entire staff here will be pleased to hear that they are creating such a positive atmosphere here at the office. Please know that you are welcome anytime, or give us a call if you ever have any questions.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is very caring and thoughtful about his recommendations, and I believe he is helping me heal. Gina and the IV process are great, and Lisa Marie so helpful with me getting the products. It is a pleasure to come to COEM every time.
Hi Elise, Thanks for the stars!
Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly people to work with. Dr. Weirs is very knowledgeable about how to help you when other conventional drs. can't. Highly recommend. They don't file insurance and our insurance doesn't cover their costs, so you have to pay up front. Having said this, if you can afford to see them, it is well worth it when you feel so bad and have been from dr. to Dr. without getting any help! Melissa
Hi Melissa, Thanks for the five stars!
Fantastic experience: Dr Wiers has been a valuable source for us in natural, integrative medicine for years. Without his expert knowledge as a leader in the field of environmental medicine, we’d be sick forever. Any time we need an appointment he is promptly available to us- often on the same day. We are so blessed as a family to have the COEM come into our lives as they all work as a team to bring us closer to optimal health. We came to COEM very sick and beyond help after severe toxic mold poisoning but through the years they have brought us periods of good health to get us back on track when we are not so well. Our entire family has unique needs but Dr Wiers is able to help us efficiently and with competent authority. He’s such a strong resource for us and the first go-to medical professional for all our needs. So often if/when we don’t feel well or we are not functioning well, the cause is always environmental. Traditional medicine could not do for us what the COEM has done. And for this we are forever grateful!
We appreciate your acknowledgement Stacy. It is always a pleasure to hear from you and the family and we look forward to being a source for health for you now and in the future.
Fantastic experience: Great Staff, friendly and knowledgable.
Hi Catherine, The positive feedback is much appreciated! Great reviews like this always brighten up the office, so I'll be sure to let the staff know. Please be sure to come in whenever there’s anything we can help you with.
Fantastic experience: The most comprehensive and compassionate care that I have ever received from any physician.
Hi Stacy, Thank you for such a positive review! We strive to provide the first-rate service so our patients will have an excellent experience. We'll make your experience here as comfortable as possible. Please feel free to visit our office whenever you may need us.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The staff there are very friendly and helpful. I plan to become a permanent patient there. The place to go for healing instead of being given a drug to mask the symptom. The testing for allergies was easy. I found out that I had some allergies. I would have never been tested for allergies had I not gone here. I am now a permanent patient.
Hi Lisa, Thanks so much for the marvelous review! The entire staff here will be pleased to hear that they are creating such a positive atmosphere here at the office. Please know that you are welcome anytime, and give us a call if you ever have any questions.
Fantastic experience: I will always be grateful for the diagnosis and treatments that COEM provided me with when it seemed no other doctors could help me. I have my health back.
Hi Dawn, Thank you very much for your kind words! We work really hard to provide excellent care and are so happy to hear about your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs listens. He carefully considers the information that the patient provides. He has a lot of experiences to reference when recommending treatment.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is very easy to talk with; always listening carefully. He trusts his patients and what they tell them about their unique experience and is always ready to modify recommendations or explore new alternatives to meet individual needs.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Weirs for several years. He's fantastic and really wants to solve the root of my health issues, not just stick a bandaid on them. I'm now even more excited to be a patient at COEM since the addition of Dr. Bernard. Ever since starting her hormone therapy, I've had more energy than I've had in years! Both doctors are knowledgeable, kind, professional and most importantly, make me feel better. If you are a women in your 40s-50s, I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Dr. Bernard; you will not be disappointed. I also want to say that the staff at COEM, especially Krystal, Lisa-Marie and Sierra, go above and beyond to take care of their patients. They are kind, supportive and make the office a welcoming place to be.
Hi Kasey, Thank you so much for the kind words! I'll ensure that Dr. Weirs and Dr. Bernard are aware of your excellent review. I’ll also let the rest of the staff know how pleased you were with your experience too. Patient satisfaction is a top priority here, and it makes us happy to hear about yours. Thanks again for the feedback, and feel free to visit our office anytime!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff and I met with Dr. Weirs and he was wonderful! Very excited to be there!
We love being able to serve our patients and make a positive impact on their healthcare. Thank you for recognizing the staff and their efforts as well. We look forward to being your partner on your healthcare journey.
Fantastic experience: Dr Weirs demonstrates genuine interest in his patient’s well being.
Fantastic experience: The BEST PLACE EVER!! I have been a patient here for 33 years. They care about the patient and their knowledge is out of the box. The care is individualized.
Hi Tweet, Thanks for the five stars!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is friendly, compassionate, listens well, very open to my thoughts and research. We work as a team to unravel my issues. It is a great combination of traditional and functional medical practices.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr. Herbert is that she's very thorough, and she treated me as an individual. She listened, and encouraged me to believe whatever my body was telling me...she didn't diminish what I voiced. My physical and mental health is close to being 100% better since I first saw Dr. Herbert about ten months ago.
Fantastic experience: Ciera was so helpful and kind. She really knew what she was doing and I appreciate her very much.
Hi Caroline, Thanks for the five stars!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an excellent experience so far. Dr. Weirs is about as informed and in tuned as they come. I’d recommend anyone give them a shot. Especially if you can’t find the answers elsewhere. I had about given up.
Fantastic experience: Dr Herbert is good listener and very good at finding solutions to chronic problems
Fantastic experience: Dr. Weirs is excellent, he helped me with my allergies (Air borne shellfish allergy symptoms and allergy symptoms to antibiotics). He thinks outside of the box and has excellent solutions and ideas that I have never heard of from my regular doctors or allergists, I spent over a year looking for a doctor as knowledgeable as Dr. Weirs, we are so thankful we found their office. He is very knowledgeable about diet and nutrition that allows the body to help itself. He listened to understand the weird allergic type reactions I have been dealing with (other doctors accused me of just having panic attacks since blood tests and skin tests results say I am not allergic to anything). I now enjoy normal life with my family again.
Fantastic experience: From my perspective, the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine is a bright light of functional medicine in a dysfunctional medical machine driven by big pharma and lobbyists. A word of caution to anyone reading this though; if you are looking for that quick fix and are not willing to make lifestyle changes as part of your treatment, you probably won’t benefit as much from COEM. Functional medicine works best with patients who are engaged in the process and are reasonable in their expectations. After over 20 years of monitoring high TSH and asking my doctors to find what was causing my thyroid to be sluggish, I had reached a point where I either had to start taking an artificial hormone replacement for the rest of my life or find another way to get to the root cause of the problem. While researching on the Internet I came across the COEM site. At first I was skeptical, especially about full payment in advance. However, as I looked at what services this purchased, it looked much more reasonable. You are getting hours of time with a dedicated doctor and day with staff all devoted to helping you achieve your health goals. Their prices for any supplements or allergy treatments are very competitive. These are obviously provided as a service, not as a profit center. Expect to spend at least one full day working with a clinical historian and the doctor assigned to work with you, as well as some allergy testing based on your history. This brings up another point - the information you provide is a huge factor in the quality of your diagnosis and treatment. Thorough medical history and supporting information (including recent lab work) will tend to yield better results. Garbage in = garbage out. In my case, I was there during working hours all day the first day, and half of the next day. Since I was coming from another part of the state and the weather was perfect, I tent-camped in a beautiful spot at a nearby RV Park and campsite (Lake Aire) rather than in the hotels or other lodging recommended. I don’t think I spent more than ten minutes total waiting for anyone to see me. Unlike most medical practices, COEM doesn’t make it a part of their routine to “park” patients in waiting and examination rooms for long periods of time. My initial results have been nothing short of amazing. Without any pharmaceuticals or hormone supplements I could feel (and measure using basal temperature) changes in just days. After some recommended blood tests came back, I also got a diagnosis (Hashimoto’s) that could have and should have been made any time in the last 20 years that my regular doctors had been “monitoring” my progressively higher TSH. After my first follow-up appointment, I’m encouraged that both the thyroid imbalance and autoimmune response attacking my thyroid should be correctable in the next few months. Since some of this is genetic, I’ll need to continue monitoring to make sure the autoimmunity doesn’t flare up again, but it should be more like a light-skinned person knowing they should use extra sun protection, not something to obsess about. I feel like I have a team of people who work in the medical field because they truly want to make a difference. With the follow-up appointments included in the initial fee, there will be ample opportunities to fine-tune the path I’m on or explore other options as needed. From a personal standpoint, COEM isn’t cheap, but it is a great value. I hope more people in the medical field are inspired by practices like this in order to buck the trends, stop doing what is merely expedient or most profitable, and become better healers - not just of patients, but of our medical systems too. From what I experienced and observed, everyone at COEM seems to demonstrate what a medical team focused on fixing the real problems can accomplish together. Well done!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Herbert. I finally found a doctor who took their time and really listened. I walked away with short term as well as long term treatment plans. I also have hope that I’m finally going in the right direction with my healthcare.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lieberman was very easy to talk to, sympathetic, knowledgeable and experienced in the treatment of the Multiple Chemical Sensitivity field. He considers the whole person and all that is going on with his patients bodies, whereas most other doctors only take into consideration their area of expertise. He is very thorough and is such a kind and compassionate man. I wish I lived closer to his office. I live in Huntington WV. I'm very grateful that he accepts phone appointments for people unable to travel to his office due to the constraints of MCS. They enforced the fragrance-free policy while I was there and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the COEM facility and the staff there!
Thank you very much for such a great review! We work really hard to provide excellent patient care and are glad to hear about your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr Herbert, Is the only doctor that can help with my wife and understand what and why she feels so bad from this mold that is in her. She sent physical therapy out to help Misty and it was a welcome surprise. We live in Lexington SC. She has promised my wife she will not give up on her which is huge when she is the only person that knows about this horrible mold that has invaded her body. All my wife did was go to work every day and was left in a bank that was full of several different molds and a cleaning company that did not do there jobs in protecting clients and employees. Now she has major stuff happening to her body daily and if it was not for COEM Dr Herbert we would not have a full picture. If you are out there very Ill and do not know what your problem is maybe you should see the doctor's at COEM. The mold never leaves your body and it is scary for your family and that now everywhere she goes the mold it attracts it from everywhere. She is only 40yrs old and she has to go the rest of her life with this stuff! Please seek treatment life is to short. Thanks, Dr Herbert and COEM! Chad Morris
Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are glad to hear Dr. Herbert was able to provide you and Misty with the "full picture". She will be pleased to learn of your high praise.
Fantastic experience: As a patient of Dr Lieberman for 18 years, his professional attention to detail, investigative thirst for knowledge, and great memory recall on the medical seminars/conferences in relation to my multiple health issues always bring great comfort to me. His kindness, wisdom, compassion, and understanding combined with his vast medical expertise & knowledge always makes every encounter and consultation a wonderful experience. He doesn't slap a band-aid on symptoms: he gets to the bottom line of every health challenge because he genuinely/sincerely cares for his patients. God has used him & his wisdom to literally sustain me. I highly recommend Dr Lieberman from the Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine
Thank you so much for your kind words, Maria. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky to have patients like you.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elliot either take good notes or he has a phenomenal memory. It amazes me each time how prepared he is for my visits. He listens to my concerns and recommends a plan designed specifically for me. I've been a patient at COEM since 2010 and thanks to the care team there, my quality of life has improved tremendously.
Hello Veronica. Dr. Elliott prepares extensively for each and every appointment and it shows. He takes pride in getting to know his patients and really caring for their needs, which includes listening well and making sure the patients themselves are comfortable and follow well what is being suggested. You are a delight as a patient and we are so appreciative that you have allowed us to care for you all of these years.
