HRC Medical reviews and complaints

I started treatments in 2011 and stop after 6 months. I haven't been the same since.
My liver enzyme raised, I've developed neuropathy in my feet and hands. They said I would lose weight but I gained. Not to mention the hair growth on my face.
Has anyone had any of these symptoms?

I have similar complaints about my treatment in St. Louis Park MN. RARELY was seen by a doctor and though I complained many times about symptoms that developed after implants related to high estrogen levels, they kept giving me estrogen in my testosterone implants...against my wishes. I wish I could find out if there is a class action against this bogus business. Though, they changed names from HRC to New Leaf, they still practice the same nonsense.

I was getting treatments at HRC in Grand Rapids, MI. They changed their name to Biolife.
Now, no service, however HC Processing still wants their money. I stopped paying them in July, even though I had not received any service since March. I also had some side effects of the hormones. I just put my trust in the doctor who I have only seen 2 times in 3 years and kept going. I am in need of some kind of contact information so I can get some sort of reimbursement for payments I have made. I don't know who to contact about the treatments I received and my side effects. I heard about the law suit but that's all I know.

After joining about 6 months ago and having 3 treatments and 4 blood work. I have had touble with high blood pressure low throid and weight gain. I also have terrible acne and dark hair growing everywhere. . . This has been the worst mistake i have ever made after paying half already i still owe 1500. 00 and have sent a dr. Note stateing that i can not return. Only to be told. . You sighned the contract. . . So i am paying for the next 6 months for nothing. . . And also paying doctors, dermatolgy, and lots of pescriptions. . . This is horrible please no one do this. . .

Has there been any issues with injection sights of the pellets? I could no longer pay for it, so I quit. Now almost a year later, the right side where the incision was is painful and the pain shoots down my left leg. Please comment. Thank you

I have been with HRC for two years. I had a hysterectomy at 30 years old due to cancer. Since that time I had become very moody, having night sweats, gaining weight even though I was working out, no sex drive and HOT flashes during big business meetings. Since starting the therapy, I feel like I have 21 again.
I dont think every therapy works for everyone. I would'nt sue a cancer treatment center if they didn't cure my cancer, nor should anyone be angry that HRCs treatment didn't work for them. I do feel HRC should have a policy in place for unsatisfied patients. The satisfied ones will never stop treatment after they realize the effect of living a healthy happy life!

I am going on my 3rd year with HRC and I have to say it has saved my life and that of my marriage! I had a total hysterectomy at 34 due to endometriosis. Reading the first review of the lady with the period that lasted a month, that is the first thing I would have had checked. In any case, I was a walking time bomb, depressed, anxious, moody, NO sex drive, no desire to do anything, no energy and so on. After my first implant I was feeling a bit better, it took a few months to get levels to where they should be and FINALLY I am a normal woman again! Even my kids won't let me stop treatment! LOL YES, I have acne now and I never had before (BTW I am 46 and started the treatments at 43) I do have hair growth in places I hadn't before, I do have slight hair loss but nothing extreme. ALL of these things are stated in the papers you sign when you sign up for treatments...IF you read them! Of course there are side effects, you are getting Testosterone, and if yours was like mine was, non-existent, the side effects might be more pronounced, I must say though, I wouldn't change anything. The ONLY complaint I have now is that in the beginning I would get blood work and then was back in for the insert 3 days later, now they make me wait a week. So my results have been very positive and I can't wait until my next implant :D As for scars...they are on your butt! The only person that sees that is my husband so I really don't care :D

HRC is now being bought out so I started with HRC and now they are Carolina Hormone and Medical Center. I started March 29, 2012 and from the beginning They have just made me sicker. I am a 54 year old female who had a hysterectomy at a young age and started having a lot of problems three years ago because of no hormones. The first insertion they gave me way too much testosterone ( my face had so much acne it was awful and caused terrible anxiety and depression and no sex drive)and not enough estrogen. I was sick for three months then when I went back for my next insertion I asked the doctor not to give me any testosterone and she insisted I would not feel good if I didn't get it. She lowered the dose a little and upped the estrogen. I got even sicker this time. My testosterone levels went sky high (almost 200) and by the time I got there for my third insertion it was still high and finally the doctor agreed on no testosterone but to up the estrogen. I started doing a little better around the end of October and my face was finally clearing up by these pellets peak and then when I started on the downside of the pellet I stared getting sick. My breasts were sore, nausea and really bad chin acne. When they checked my labs my progesterone showed good but the estrogen shows low. Then they give you a booster shot of estrogen and that makes you really sick. Finally this past week my husband said you have to get somewhere. I literally feel like I a dieing and I have no energy and just feel sick, depressed, and I have terrible anxiety. We called the Compound pharmacist who does the creams and he said he has gotten several people from HRC/ Carolina Hormone. I am going to see a doctor on Monday and get the prescription and the Compound Pharmacist said he can get my hormones in balance within a month. Beware of these pellets because once they insert them in you there is nothing you can do to lower the dose. I will give them credit because they did let me out of my yearly contract. and because they go up and peak then start coming down you are not getting a steady dose. I have a friend who started on them right after me and she is getting no results either. She is also stopping. Beware HRC is being sold now in individuals but still using their same products.

yes I have also had a bad skin rash after the first treatment and wanted it to work for me so bad continued to next insert and continued to have skin rash to acne break out so bad in my head and back of neck had to go to a DERMOTOGIST and she did a skin sample off my back and it test positive for allergic drug reaction and then I went straight to HRC and was treated like I was the biggest problem was told I would have to wait to see the lady in there office for a refund and was asked what do you want I want my money back I said she said I will have to submit it to our head office . so please do not trust these people with your health concerns I have been so depressed with my skin red burning red bumps on my chest face back stomach still waiting for that refund

It is false advertisement and expensive $3000 and no insurance coverage although they give you the impression it will. I cannot stress the importance of researching before signing up because then you are stuck with the contract. It is just expensive hormones and terrible side effect

My wife is 52 years old. She signed up at HRC Louisville about a year ago. The first treatment was fantastic! Within days she had renewed energy, sex drive, and the stress of work didn't seem to bother her much anymore. It was fantastic and I thouht the $3000 treatment was well worth the benefits.

After 3 months, the effects of the first treatment wore off. She went back for a booster and they gave her vitiams and hormone supplements. Things have not been the same since. I have noticed significant mood swings, especially 5-6 weeks after treatment. I have also noticed that the closer she gets to the follow-up visit, the worse her mood swings are and now her sex drive is worse than ever. Stress level have risen significantly. All I can say is the first treatment was incredible but since then the effects have declined to the point that it is effecting our relationship in a number of ways. I would not recommend this treatment until they figure out how to stablize the dossage for consistent results. This is horribly expensive for what it provides. I just wish the first treatment could be repeated.

I am so miserable after starting this in Oct 2011. Has anyone else suffered from burning, itchy, [censored]ly skin as a result of this hormone therapy? Please help!
