Donald W Tice, DO

I went to Dr. Tice for help with my horrible insomnia. I knew it was related to hormones since I had had a hysterectomy, but my gynecologist wasn’t an expert with hormones and wasn’t able to help me very much. The first thing Dr. Tice did was run a lot of blood tests to check not only my hormone levels but also thyroid, glucose, cholesterol, and many other things I knew nothing about. Once he found out what my levels were he immediately put me on a number of bio-​identical hormones and recommended some other vitamins and supplements. It took several months of trial and error to come to the right mix of hormones but now that we have figured it all out I have zero insomnia, have lots of energy, am clear-​headed and feel better than I have in years! And I give all the credit to Dr. Tice. He understands how hormones work and will spend enough time talking with you to help figure out just what you need. I can’t recommend him enough!

I have lived in Las Vegas for over twenty– five years, but have never written a review on behalf of a doctor. That’s because I have never had a doctor like Dr. Donald Tice. I must preface this review in stating that I am NOT a person willing to accept aging as an excuse for feeling unwell, and I have been truly blessed to find a physician that shares this belief. Dr. Tice painstakingly takes the time to individualize the patient’s experience in his practice. He is a master diagnostician, and through thorough testing, he has given me my life back. First, Dr. Tice is very easy to talk with, and secondly, he is a terrific listener. He makes decisions based on labs, lab work that none of the many specialists I have previously seen have ever done. There is no magic bullet for health, but Dr. Tice truly believes that women – and men – deserve to feel well and look fabulous. Since 2005, I have attempted to find a doctor that could pinpoint medical symptoms and provide answers for lifestyle changes to keep me looking and feeling young. After extensive testing – to include genetic testing– Dr. Tice was able to zero in on some genetic polymorphisms that, with simple B vitamin supplements, have resulted in a complete life change for me. Amazingly, these genetic defects are attributed to many other diseases/​conditions, and I feel so fortunate that Dr. Tice determined this for me before my health got out of control. Dr. Tice humbly acts like he did nothing that any other doctor could do, but realistically, he did what nobody else ever bothered to do.
Dr. Tice’s staff is absolutely terrific, which makes the experience that much better. They are helpful, courteous, and return calls to clarify treatment and answer questions. As my insurance does not cover Dr. Tice’s services, the doctor and his staff have worked with me to make the services affordable, and to make sure that I understand the process every step of the way. I think that other doctors in Las Vegas can surely take a lesson in patient care from Dr. Tice; I feel

Excellent service and care by a well trained staff. Dr. Tice is wonderful and is the reason I am getting back to normal and losing weight. Thanks for all of your help. Scott

If I could give a zero star review I would. I went to Dr Tice on the recommendation of a neighbor, whose description of what he did for her mirrored the positive reviews I have read here.
This was not my
first impression of his office and staff was not good, however I chalked it up to the fact that he had just moved to open his own practice, growing pains. He seemed kind and professional, and ordered blood work, telling me his standard blood panels were much more in depth than other Drs, which sounded good to me. My first red flag was his constant reference to my weight, yes I am overweight, but I was there for bio identical hormone replacement not weight loss, which I felt I had to reiterate multiple times, to which his reply was it all ties together, fair enough.
When I returned for my follow up to go over the very thorough blood work he had ordered, I was very impressed, they tested for things I didn’t know you could do blood tests for! In the end most of the things he tested for had absolutely nothing to do with the issues I went to see him for, he prescribed me appetite suppressants, and pharmaceutical hormones, cholesterol meds, and injections at his office that I was told were also hormones.
None of it was bio identical, which was the only reason I came to see him in the first place! None of it was anything I couldn’t have gotten from my regular ob, and we all know there is no magic bullit for weight loss, calorie reduction and movement, period. When I researched the results of my blood work and the medications he prescribed I decided the benefits of some did not out weigh the risks, also based on the extremely incompetent office staff decided he was not the doc for me.
At this point I would have chalked it up to not a good Dr/​patient relationship fit, and left if at that, no review necessary.
Then I received the bill from my insurance company, of which he is a covered provider, my grand total of non covered, unauthorized, therefore not covered, blood work which included genetic testing (which was NEVER disclosed or discussed until after it was done) has come in at approximately $ 9,800. So, close to 10 grand for a prescription for Zocor, progesterone, thyroid (which was completely unnecessary) and appetite suppressants. Of those medications, based on my own research and a second opinion, I ended up with the Zocor, and a food plan with a registered dietician, and some over the counter supplements from GNC. I have lost 10 lbs„ after doing more research and my own personal family history risk factors, decided to hold off on hormone replacement, and seem to be going much better (change in diet and exercise I’m sure) aside from all the work of trying to get the outrageous cost of some of this blood work reduced or covered by my insurance after the fact, and the out of network labs he sent it to.
If you are looking for a doc, and this guy seems up your alley, I say go with God, but buyer beware, you better check once twice and three times before you agree to the blood work, you will be in for a very nasty surprise when you receive that bill three months down the road, also I would say get a second opinion before you start ingesting or injecting possibly unnecessary medications in your body, and yes hormones are medications.

Dr. Tice is an excellent doctor that treats both metabolic and hormonal imbalances. I have seen more than my fair share of doctors for treatment of early menopause (and now post-​menopause) symptoms and found that most doctors just want to put me on the standard suite of hormone replacement therapy (which really did not work for me). I finally gave up and went off treatment until I found Dr. Tice. His treatment program looks at the whole picture at what might be going on with your body. I was tired, run-​down and starting to gain a lot of weight. He treated both my metabolic symptoms (e.g., thyroid and other digestive issues) and my menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, brain fog, etc.).
At first I was a bit skeptical of the treatment program because it was a different approach to standard medical treatment. But I went with it, and after about 3 months, I started to really feel the results as Dr. Tice fine-​tuned my supplements and prescriptions. He is easy to talk to and listens to your complaints and compliments. I really liked that the treatment was based not only on how your feeling but also a comprehensive blood testing program that includes testing for parameters that most other doctors ignore of won’t order for you.
In addition to balancing my metabolic system and hormones, I lost weight (22 pounds!), and gained more energy which allowed me to exercise more. Granted I put myself on a healthy diet to compliment this treatment and set a calorie count limit on my daily food consumption. I became pretty dedicated to making this work, I wanted to go into the next decades of my life feeling great!
I have been seeing Dr. Tice now for about 9 months and found the nurses and staff to be friendly and professional. I have had no issues making appointments or getting in to see the Doctor. I am also a «cash» pay customer at this time. So far the cash pay fees have been reasonable.

I had an appointment for six weeks with Las Vegas Hormonal and Metabolic Clinic and finally it arrived today only to be turned away by his office staff because they didn’t accept my Nevada Health Coop insurance. I made three phone calls where their staff assured me that I was covered. I also called NHC twice to make sure that they were a provider. They said you could be a cash patient. One of the office workers ushered me into the hallway when I was on the phone with the insurance company — the bum’s rush. Finally I had the insurance company call the office manager because I wasn’t going to go away after driving 25 miles and wasting my morning fasting. When I got home I called NHC to get an explanation and they said he hasn’t been a provider for them since March 28. Dr. Tice should fire all that were involved. This is after I filled out a ton of paper work. This is the worst doctor experience of my life. I blame his inept staff and especially the office manager.

What a difference in my life!
Dr Tice is a genius when it comes to managing hormone replacement! I had in depth labwork done and based on those results, Dr Tice came up with a treatment plan specific to my individual needs.
I am happier, healthier and have more «get up and go» than I have in years thanks to him!
