PreDiabetes Center

I joined a year ago when they were offering the Compliance Bonus Program. You pay $ 400 up front and at the end of the year you’ll get $ 200 back, well they try to, of course; keep you on the program after the year is up. If your insurance will still except this program you can continue, if not you’ll have to pay out if pocket. My insurance would not extend beyond the year and I was not going to pay I believe $ 400 a month or more I don’t remember the exact amount. When I told my primary doctor about this program she advised that she does the same thing as any physician would if you were diabetic and said to beware of this program, it can be very expensive but I had already signed up for this program and paid the full amount. Going back to the Compliance Bonus I was told they didn’t have the money to pay anyone back and they are not offering this program anymore plus they are under a new managing company and have not returned my calls. Pretty sure I want be getting any money back either. Word of advice, your primary care doctor can do the same thing as these guy’s can without any lies of bonuses or anything else. Red flag why do you even have to offer such. Even though they are not offering the bonus now, just go to your regular doctor and forget about all of the hype here, money and gas to go here. If you can’t trust your doctor to do the same; why do you have that doctor. The bottom line is these people are dishonest and should be held accountable.

This practice is Revolutionary. Lifechanging. Affordable. And the best overall healthcare experience I have ever had (seriously).
Although I was not genetically pre-​disposed to diabetes, I was interested in getting a thorough blood work-​up and understanding if perhaps I would be trending that direction. The panel that they ran would have cost over $ 800 elsewhere. They did it for FREE! The first wow, started with their coming to my home and taking the most painless bloodsample I have ever experienced, for free. My post-​analysis visit with Dr. Hopkins was amazingly thorough and informative. I got a detailed analysis of where my numbers were, and what that meant to my longterm health/​wellness. The 4-​month program that they recommended based on my data was logical, amazingly affordable and a no-​brainer. I needed a motivator to start putting myself first, and I determined (by the numbers) this was it. So, I came in for a glucose tolerance test –that was the roughest, as I hadn’t had to chug down that awful orangy liquid since my pregnancy days. The follow-​up was even more detailed than the initial. It confirmed I was not prediabetic, but revealed areas that needed improvement. The nutritional/​lifestyle recommendations to optimize my levels were specific, doable, and began (as I knew, but just needed to hear it ‘by the numbers’) with diet and exercise. They performed another test to get a reading on my metabolism, and explained that the plan including nutraceutical support was designed to help get my levels and my metabolism back on target.
My program included meeting with their Concierge Chef Consultant, Han Ashley – a diminuitive rockstar nutrition chef/​consultant with a biochemistry background in cardio/​pulmonary rehab. She broke down the PURE plan, along with «how» «why» and «what» to eat «when» with scientifically-​based clear rationale. Her presentation was as thorough and engaging as the rest I have had @ PDC, but particularly memorable because of her unique personality and her voice. Han’s nutrition presentation delivered a highly technical message of how to prepare macronutrient-​dense foods for life, while conveying caring, consciousness and intelligence. She should be on tv!
The entire administrative and technical team with whom I have worked with thus far has been a model for other healthcare practices. Professional, prompt, and on top of things concerning my process, my appointments, and my follow-​ups.
Getting on track with my health in a Preventive mindset is something I’ve known to do, but consistently lacked consistency and follow-​through to truly practice consistently. The PDC has been my launching pad.
And while a 4-​month program that is clinically based requires a considerable commiment in time and behavior change, I have already lost weight, feel incredibly better, and don’t miss the unhealthy habits that were forged from stress and failing to prioritize my own wellbeing and health ‘first.’ Plus, frankly, getting on track with my health now beats the hell out of having to swallow boatloads of meds morning noon and night in my sunset years.
The power of this program is not to be underestimated. It is saving and improving lives — including mine. And, I whole-​heartedly endorse PreDiabetes Center of Austin. Do it for yourself!

Dr. Hopkins, Tonja B. (my health coach) and Sian have gone above and beyond all expectations I had in receiving services and treatment from a medical team. I have never received such personalized attention to my medical needs AND their program works if you work it. It is not anything strange but everything that one needs to do to get healthier. On top of such welcoming and competent professional treatment, I needed some help with my ailing mother and Tonja spent a whole day emailing me back and forth to help me through how to proceed with her medical care and Dr. Hopkins personally called to offer ideas, too. She was not their patient, but they care THAT much. If you are struggling with diabetes or pre-​diabetes, it is worth every penny to get into this program to turn your life around. I highly recommend the program and especially the folks who work there!
