Center For New Medicine

I have seen Brandi a couple of times. Her approach with the patient is great. Each time she has been really helpful, providing great information and explanation. She my go to physician. I definitely recommend her!

Dr. Leigh Connealy and this medical center are ruthless, dishonest, and do not have the patient’s interest in mind whatsoever. Do not come here for cancer treatment! My mother was adamant about pursuing only homeopathic means to «cure» her cancer and she passed away within 2 months of being treated by Dr. Connealy. Even when she went into liver failure, the staff here kept pushing her to continue their expensive, «life saving» treatments. She has thousands of dollars in medical bills from this facility. None of the ozone, vitamin C injections, and loads of supplements did anything to cure, much less slow down the spread of her cancer. If anything, it most likely sped up her death because Dr. Connealy scared my mom away from standards of care in Western medicine, likely CT scans and biopsies. When my mother’s ultrasounds showed that her tumor had spread and tripled in size, Dr Connealy blamed my mother’s demise not on the seven months of homeopathy, but on the «incompetent» western medical doctors that diagnosed my mom’s cancer early with a liver biopsy! Take responsibility for your actions Dr. Connealy, and remember why you, like all doctors, took the Hippocratic Oath to DO NO HARM.

I love this place! Yes, when I initially began coming to the center, two years ago, they had some kinks to work out. I have stuck it out and am so glad I did. I am so fortunate to have the center here in Orange County, close to where I live. I am seeing Dr. Ann Lee (covered through insurance) for testing, Vitamin C IV’s and such, and Dr. Conneally is my doctor (she is out of network for my insurance) for Stage IV breast cancer. I divorced my conventional oncologist as Big Pharma drugs were giving me such horrible side effects I had no quality of life. Tamoxifen caused my uterus to thicken resulting in D&C’s every couple of months which I refused and stopped taking (why take a medication that can cause uterine cancer???), Xgeva caused blood in my urine and burning when urinating, constipation, de-​abilitating bone pain, muscle stiffness and joint pain. Cancer patients are never cured of cancer. Cancer is a disease that needs to be managed. I was told I was in remission. I will always have the cancer stem cells/​circulating tumor cells in my body looking to make a colony somewhere. I thought I was cured because I did chemo… Chemo only kills the tumor not the cancer stem cells. A Pet scan cannot detect stem cells, only a tumor. Essentially, we have to wait until a tumor forms to take some action. I will never put my body through Chemo again!!! I am coming to the center to prevent a tumor from forming, due to the stem cells being present in my body. Conventional doctors do not emphasis a whole body/​whole system detox to prevent a recurrence. They are not allowed to do so or they can lose his/​her license. Cancer is big business. People are profiting from us being ill. We are never told how to get to the root our our medical problems, only given a pill and sent away. Medication is given to deal with the symptom not solve the systemic issue.
There is a chemo sensitivity test, RGCC, blood sent to Greece, a German doctor has a patent on this test in Greece. The test will indicate how many circulating tumor cells there are in your body and can give information about which chemo drugs and natural herbs fight your type of cancer the best. I discovered that Tamoxifen and Herceptin does not kill the breast cancer cells inside of my body. You need to invest money in fighting your disease. Dr. Conneally will give you the knowledge and the tools to do this. I have become well informed about cancer in general. I drink clean water (Mend), I do coffee enemas, take tons of supplements, Vitamin C IV’s, ozone treatment, eat healthy organic food, avoid sugar, food intolerances that create inflammation in the body, EMF’s, etc. I asked my OB/​GYN doctor why insurance companies not give the RGCC test to all cancer patients before giving the same protocol to everyone (Each person with cancer, has a cancer particular to them, there are not two people with the same cancer). My OB stated that it is not profitable for insurance companies to give this test to patients. Cancer does not spontaneously appear. It is brewing for years. We live in a toxic environment. My cancer is clearly environmental and very much stress related. Not one person on either side of my family has had cancer. I am the first and I will fight this with Dr. Connealy by my side. When I was diagnosed I had a one-​year old and three-​year-​old. I want to live to raise my children. See Dr. Connealy!!!
If you are fighting cancer
–Go to the website –The Truth About Cancer, watch all the videos. They are mind-​blowing.
–Ask your conventional oncologist if you are cured. Then don’t give a straight answer because they don’t know.
–Ask your oncologist how cancer happened in your body. They can’t answer this either. How can I have confidence in a doctor who did not cure me with horrific chemo or does not know how the cancer happened?
–Ask if sugar should be avoided. They will say no. Sugar feeds cancer! Pet scans work because glucose is injected into the body and the tumors feed on the sugar causing the tumors to light up on the scan. Sugar is bad for cancer patients. I was addicted to sugar prior to finding my tumor. I ate tons of it everyday.
–Read the book — Dying to Be Me. Fear, anger, feeling like a victim, anxiety, etc. in the body causes the energy in our body to become stagnant and creates disease in the body.
–I wished I had more time to tell you all I have learned in the past three years. There is so much more to know. Oh, read quantum physics, manifest heath in your life.
Best of Luck to You!

I really like this center and would love to upgrade to 5 stars. I’ll be brief– here are the pros and cons in my situation. I’d actually give 3.5 stars.
Pros– good doctors, great ideas, great theories, amazing treatment options.
Love Ann Lee
Love dr conneally, but she is super busy!
Seen Dr Kim and like her a lot too!
Cons–
Some treatments now stop at 3pm because they take too long to clean up to close on time.
— Dr conneally is often booked up, and sometimes she takes her time w you, sometimes she’s rushed.
–treatments are expensive here.
I do ½ my treatments here and the other half with a doctor that does ozone where I live because it’s more affordable for me.
Billing– always keep receipts and records. They sometimes make mistakes. I was sent a bill for a date of service I wasn’t even there. After complaining, they forgave it and I didn’t have to pay it. But I keep good records and proved when I was there being I only go once a week and I pay cash.
Store– some of the ladies are nice and some are not. I love the Esthetician that also does check out there. Berny is also really nice.
Front desk– always polite!
Lastly they need to listen to messages and return phone calls! It’s ridiculous to
Not have a phone call returned!
They are improving in some ways! So because I notice I’m sticking with this office! They have been greatly helping me.
But a few things need improvement!
They’re a pretty good center

Brandi Morinoue, PA is my go-​to-​gal. I’ve had chronic health issues and she is so terrific I just wanted to let people know about my positive experiences with her. She is warm, down to earth, and very sharp. She seems to run tests that are in aliment with your symptoms and doesn’t go crazy over board and with the results in hands she doesnt go crazy suggesting countless supplements. After seeing dozens of other doctors who seemed truly clueless on an overall hollistic approach, I really feel blessed to be working with Brandi.
Oh sure the check out gal wouldn’t get 5 stars (but I’m not staying at a 5 star resort so although annoying its not a deal killer) and the girls who sell the supplements definitely dont have a Nordstroms training or exuberant personalities but I go there to see Brandi and have been really pleased. I am surprised though that more businesses aren’t run like Nordstroms with over the top friendly and personal people… Truly every person should be crazy nice especially because if I’m there I’m down, sick and at little niceness goes a long way! It’s just good for business and yes I’d train my staff that way and make it a point to make everyone feel like family and walk out feeling better for having spoken to me especially if I’m the first contact to the company or the last! So if they wanted a tip. I’d certainly put that in their suggestion box.
re: getting lap results. I would say that getting your lab results only seems to happen if you make another appointment and getting through to reach a live person has been tough at times, but I see how much they care and the time they spend with me and the patients and frankly I’m ok with it… As a health coach and mortgage lender health and balance is something I’m always striving for and I’m just thrilled to have a doctor who doesnt have a knee jerk reaction to prescribing antibiotics or meds but rather prefers alternative approaches and will allow me to explore alternative solutions with her first if it makes sense and then choose to take meds IF the natural approach fails. Antibiotics and meds are so overly prescribed by most doctors I just want to say thank you Brandi for not being one of those people!
Prescription drugs are dangerous and anytime you can work with a trained intuitive and experienced person who can run blood work and is skilled at reading them, it’s the best way to go… Ironically my ex-​dr blatantly missed lab results and signs to what was happening with me and as a result I went years of feeling really crappy… and honestly Brandi picked up on it in my first visit and helped adjust my thyroid using natural options which made a huge difference on my energy.
Again, with the chronic health issues I’ve had, I’ve seen Brandi and dozens of times and wouldn’t hesitate to tell anyone I know to go see her for anything going on… she cares and she has a wealth of knowledge to help you work through and get to the bottom of what’s ailing you! Choose Brandi to work with and I hope you live healthily ever after! :)

I was very disappointed with Dr. Connelly and her staff. I brought my daughter in to meet with the doctor because my daughter was feeling very nauseous after meals and throwing up several times a week. The nurse was very inexperienced, had trouble getting blood and finally got someone else to do it. They said they’d call me the results within 3 weeks. After calling several times for the results, I drove over and waited at the counter for close to 2 hours, only to be told they lost the report. I brought my daughter back in and they drew more blood, and assured me they would call with the result in 3 weeks. (And they fired the nurse, which was too late in my opinion) It’s been 5 weeks, I’ve called several times, and Still waiting for the results. Dr. Connelly has never called to check on my daughter or apologize for the way we’ve been treated.

I come here for Botox and laser spot removal and I love it! Brandi has done my face for about 3 years now and she’s awesome! She charges very reasonable prices AND neither of the procedures hurt!!!

I have been going to this clinic for 16 years. Dr. Connealy and her staff helped in the process of saving my life. It took commitment, dedication, research, time and money. With the limited time in office visits now due to insurance, be sure you come with a list of prepared questions, do your research and follow through on all instructions. Doctors are not magicians. Get the most out of your experience. Be prepared for a new way of thinking about your health. It matters!

I just wanted to write a quick review and say how wonderful Dr. Bita and her staff are. The last thing you want when you’re not well is to spend time with a physician who doesn’t care and this isn’t the Case when I visit Dr. Bita. She takes her time sure to make sure I understand everything while treating with me respect and dignity. Thank you!!! See you in 2 weeks!

Incredibly unprofessional —
I saw Dr. Kim in August in which she asked me to pay out of pocket and not covered by Blue Cross, a $ 300 lab test. As of today and after 5 phone calls in which I have left messages for her, her nurse, the office manager to call me back I have NOT received my test results not a call back from ANYONE at this office. For those of you doing the math that’s 4 months. The hilarious thing is the last time I called this passed Monday, the office staff put me on hold and told me Dr. Kim had my file and was reviewing it. Here we are 4 days later and crickets again.
Look at the reviews, and believe them. Horrible. I had to call the lab company and provide my drivers license to get my results sent directly to me. Now I have to find someone to interpret them.
Thanks for wasting my valuable time Dr Kim!
12/​10/​2015 still no response from anyone. Zero stars.

I really liked Dr. bita, but the entire office does not return calls! I got my blood tests done a month ago and can’t get anyone on the phone! I’ve called SEVERAL times and Diane does not rerun phone calls. I’m so irritated having to call every other day and getting zero help. I plan to go into the office next week and ask for a copy of my tests and move on. How do they function like this?!?

I would highly recommend Center for New Medicine! The staff has always been courteous and polite. I cannot say enough about nutritionist Lilliana. She has changed my lifestyle to the highest degree, as well as my family’s. Through her I have reached all of my personal fitness goals and have been educated in all aspects of a healthier diet and exercise routine. I would strongly recommend for anyone wanting to reach any of these types of goals to see her as I believe you would get the maximum results from her practice.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews. I only have one other review here, but I feel it is my duty to save people from this nightmare.
If you have cancer, run, do not walk away from this place. Don’t read this review and think it will be different for you. It will not. I made the mistake of ignoring the reviews. And I’m quite sorry for it. All I have to show for the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I spent on their «treatment» is more cancer unfortunately.
They don’t monitor you or follow up. You simply come in, wing it, and give them your money.
Cancer is time sensitive. Don’t waste your time or money here. You’re better off doing chemotherapy or radiation. Or doing something on your own.
Check out this site:
The vast majority are incredibly incompetent. Its downright disturbing. Most are rude and it is more expensive, not to mention gross billing inaccuracies. So you are paying and/​or over paying for people to be nasty and condescending. You can’t get anyone on the phone. When you do speak to someone you will get 5 different answers from 5 different people. They are not helpful and those treatments don’t work. In fact, they know those treatments don’t work. Not for cancer anyway. I can’t speak on other treatments. Read all the reviews.
Personally I’d rather travel and be treated nicely. At the bottom of this correspondence I will list better places you can go for natural cancer treatment.
Try these:
You kinda have to keep in mind that cancer is about money for most people. It’s sad, but true. Don’t think this place is any different. They’re selling something just like the conventional places. You have to take charge of your life and your health and find people, places, and treatment that work for you. This place will not. Well let me revise that… they will be much nicer to you if you are rich, but you will still have to go somewhere else to get healing. Its kinda funny when you think about. MOST of the people who work there wouldn’t be able to afford $ 700-​$ 1000 per week for anything so its laughable that they find the space to be rude to anyone about anything! But especially someone coming to their facility and paying that kind of money.
If you have additional questions feel free to contact me as I will be making it one of my goals to educate people on the pitfalls of the natural world. Because just like anything else… there are pros and cons.

Center for New Medicine changed my life. I started going there when my aunt had Lyme disease, and I’ve changed the way I do a lot of things. I am healthier and stronger because of this place.

MD not really there for you or never has anything other than giving you more drugs to feel better from other drugs? Dr Brandi is beyond fabulous. She is so caring and always goes beyond what’s required to get me feeling better. The staff especially Bernie and Kim always make me feel so welcome and so special. Bernie recommend center for me medicine to me and told me how amazing and about all the happy patients with results. I am sure glad I listened and recommend you look them up. General physicians, cancer treatment center, cosmetic laser and skin treatment, dental, hyperbaric, massage therapy and so much more complete care for you and the ones you love.

I have been a patient for 15 years. I was a patient when they were in Tustin.
I have never had a problem with the center and I find the staff to go above and beyond for the patients. I have been there for hormones and skin care and have felt that i have had a great appointment each time. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends and acquaintances.
I have read that they are over priced however I have checked their products prices with many other places and they are beyond fair.

I give 4 stars with a caveat.
See Ann Lee, F.N.P., M.S.N. or Brandi Morinoue, PA-​C. Both are tremendous! I have not had many dealings with others. The front staff do warm up, but the ‘store’ people are a little cold. Not the end of the world for me. I don’t need to be friends with them. However, I love Brandi and Ann and highly recommend both of them. Both have a wonderful bedside manner and are very good knowledgable. I have referred others and they agree.

I have very mixed emotions about this place.
My first thought is I love Brandi. She is kind and helpful and really listens to you. Upon my first visit I was having many allergy issues, weight gain, pmdd type symptoms, after speaking with Brandi for a few mins she told me I probably had a hormonal imbalance as well as possibly thyroid problem. (Something that other doctors hadn’t mentioned check, and I had even asked for them to check if my thyroid was off and had gotten negative results?) after blood work came back sure enough my hormones were all over the place. So now we are on the path to getting them straightened out and hoping no thyroid medication once the hormones are on the right track. I’m am very grateful to Brandi for helping me with this issue and for being so kind and attentive. That being said there are quite a few negatives about this place. To name a few
–expensive (even after insurance)
— changed billing companies and mixed up my bills took forever to cash checks and kept sending me bills. The lab even called too say they wouldn’t process my blood work until i paid my bill. Which I had already paid and apparently hadn’t gotten payment for. Also they billed me for blood work 9months after I got it done and got hit with a 250 $ bill for 3 different appts of blood work. Just Nonsense.
— the front staff is not very friendly at all. They actually make you feel really unwelcomed (a real bummer considering the money I’m spending) they don’t even give confirmation calls (which apparently they are supposed to and just don’t)
All of that being said I do feel better, I do really like Brandi, and regardless of all the other negatives I will probably continue to go once a year once my hormones are straightened out just for a check up and to renew my prescription.

The first time I came here they forgot to give me the prescription paper for my medication so I had to drive all the way back from my house to retrieve it, and the nurse didn’t even apologize on the phone about the mistake.
The following week for the follow up appointment, I accidentally came an hour early, but they said they could slip me in early. I said if it would take long, I’d just come back an hour later and grab a bite to eat meanwhile. The front desk nurse waved me off kind of rudely and said they’d be able to slip me in soon. I ended up waiting an hour anyway. Their insistence for me to wait has caused me a greater inconvenience.
The only thing I liked about this place was the free green tea they have in the lobby.

I am so glad I read these reviews. I do not know how this place is legally in business. Before your first appointment they send you a 14 page file of office policies to read and sign. This includes agreeing to join their «private membership medical association» and waiving your «HIPAA privacy rights and complaint process.» BIG red flag. You also agree not to file a malpractice lawsuit against any doctor and that doctors don’t carry malpractice insurance. Under the arbitration agreement they pick the arbitrator. So when I called to cancel my appointment, Senae told me I would be charged $ 375 even though I called more than 24 hours in advance (per their policy I had not yet signed) and their email stated «The only event that we would charge your card on file is if you no show, no call us.» Senae kept putting me on hold and calling me back to «check with people» about the email and policy and was very rude. They are obviously only after your money and not a good place to go for medical treatment. Dana sent me a rude follow up email as well.
This is all very frustrating because as a thyroid cancer survivor it is difficult to find a specialist in alternative medicine and bioidentical thyroid hormone who understands what labs to do. Dr. Bita was recommended to me and I was willing to drive an hour to see her but there is no way I am signing away my HIPAA rights and right to sue in the case of malpractice.
