Parsley Health | Functional Medicine Anmeldelser 26

I LOVE Parsley Health. I started with them back in 2021. Even though they can’t bill my insurance, the money paid out of pocket is well worth it. The service is great. My doctor, Dr. Dawn Johnson is the best. The whole operation is the best. Everyone really cares! I have been struggling with various health issues and could never get answers. I feel so much better. I sleep better, I have more energy, no more brain fog. I have tried other naturopaths and all they did was want to sell me their supplements. Yes, Parsley also offers supplements, but they do not push them on you. Everyone that works for Parsley wants what is best for the customer/patient. So glad I found them online! Best decision ever when I signed up! You can’t put a price on your well being!

I've been with Parsley Health for over four years, and the transformation in my health has been remarkable. Before finding them, I worked with a handful of different doctors and made only minimal progress. Dr. Nisha Chellam, Antoinette Liviola, and the entire team changed that completely.

What sets Parsley Health apart is their functional health model — they actually get to the root of what's going on rather than just managing symptoms. I'm so grateful for this team and can't recommend them enough.

I am incredibly grateful to have Dr. Lilli Link as my doctor at Parsley Health. My health journey has been long and challenging, but today I can confidently say I am not where I used to be. My life has changed for the better and is now filled with so much more abundance and hope. I truly feel blessed to have Dr. Link guiding me on this journey. I have confidently referred my relatives to her because I trust her not only as a physician, but as someone who truly cares about the lives she touches.

I've been working with Dr. Lilli Link for 3 years and can honestly say that she has changed my life. Due to her sensitive care and professional expertise, I have a much better understanding of my body, its needs and how to best maximize my potential for good health. She is reassuring and concerned - - and, she takes time to truly understand my issues and make thoughtful, intelligent recommendations for both testing and treatments. I have also found my work with Parsley's nutritionist, Dana Bodek, to be extremely helpful in addressing dietary concerns with creative and insightful guidance. As a result, my diet has changed dramatically and for the better! I will remain a Parsley client; it's reassuring to know that I can rely on their helpful support for whatever may arise in the future.

Dr. Kemp is the first doctor I've seen that truly sees the whole me! From her warm demeanor to the realistic goals we set together, I truly look forward to our visits and feel as though I have agency in my health and have made lots of progress, in addition to gaining a lot of knowledge about what works and doesn't work for me and my body. Dr Kemp reminds me about the small wins and the ways in which my health has improved, even when I'm feeling defeated. She listens, takes in, and also talks through the different pathways forward. I am truly grateful for her and the rest of the Parsley team. It feels like a true partnership, with a supportive team working alongside.

I truly believe their intentional preparation and support made a meaningful difference.

I have been working with Dr. Glassman and Amanda Perrin at Parsley Health for the past few years, and I could not be more grateful for their care and guidance.

Dr. Glassman has closely monitored my bloodwork and hormones to ensure my body was truly prepared to support a healthy pregnancy, always taking the time to explain everything clearly. Amanda helped me optimize my diet and lifestyle and encouraged me to use Mira to better track my hormones, which gave me so much clarity and confidence while trying to conceive.

I am so happy to share that I am now expecting, and my first pregnancy labs look healthy and supportive of this new life. I feel deeply cared for and supported. Dr. Glassman shared that my OB will focus on the baby, while she and Amanda will focus on taking care of me, and that meant so much.

I cannot recommend Parsley Health, Dr. Glassman, and Amanda highly enough. Thank you does not begin to describe my gratitude. 🤍

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. Kemp. She is a compassionate, intuitive, and highly detail-oriented physician who truly takes the time to understand her patients. Every visit feels thoughtful and unhurried, and she consistently approaches care with both professionalism and genuine empathy.

We’ve worked through several health concerns together, and the outcomes have been very positive. What stands out most is how carefully she listens and how invested she is in finding the right path forward. I always feel supported, respected, and reassured after our appointments.

Dr. Kemp brings both knowledge and heart to her practice, which makes a meaningful difference when navigating health challenges. I’m deeply grateful for her guidance and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a physician who truly cares.

Dr. Link is a brilliant, warm-hearted, thorough, and genuinely caring physician. I have never felt so truly seen, heard, and cared for by a doctor. My sister and my cousin also have the privilege of being her patients, and we all agree she is the best doctor we’ve ever had in our lifetimes.

If every physician were as intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated as Dr. Link, the world would be a far happier — and healthier — place.

I have been a Parsley Health member since 2023 and have been under the care of Dr. Kemp. Before working with her, I saw multiple providers for ongoing gut issues without getting clear answers or meaningful progress. Dr. Kemp took the time to listen carefully to my full history, connect the details, and focus on identifying and treating the root cause rather than only managing symptoms. From our very first visit, I knew I was in the right place.

She stands out from other providers in all the right ways. Her approach is thorough, collaborative, and patient-centered. She makes me feel heard, supported, and actively involved in every step of my care plan. She is consistently attentive and responsive, and she adapts my care as my health needs change over time. I am extremely grateful for the progress I have made in so many aspects of my health over the years thanks to her guidance.

As a nurse / healthcare professional myself, I am very selective about my healthcare team. Dr. Kemp has exceeded those expectations. My experience with both her and Parsley Health has been outstanding, and I’m truly grateful for her expertise and commitment to her patients.

I am so grateful that I found Parsley. My Nurse Practitioner, Ashley Gish and Health Coach, Amanda Perrin are so incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable. It was like finally finding the place where I could get the care I need to improve my health. They addressed areas of my health that no allopathic doctor or holistic doctor had ever brought up. I would recommend them to anyone!

Living with EDS means constantly navigating what my body actually needs—and that’s not always straightforward. Finding functional medicine through Parsley Health has been absolutely life-changing. From nutrition support to helping me find the right surgeon and preparing my body for what’s ahead, finding the root cause of issues, and navigating everything - my doctor has changed the way I live day to day. I’m genuinely living a better, more supported life because of my DPN at Parsley. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward with your health, don’t think twice. 🤍

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Lilli Link at Parsley Health since 2018, and I genuinely cannot overstate how exceptional she is.

She has seen me through my first breast cancer diagnosis and later my metastatic diagnosis, and throughout all of it she has been consistently present, thoughtful, and deeply prepared. She always comes to appointments having done the research, understanding the nuances of my case, and ready to ask the right questions. I never feel rushed, dismissed, or treated like a chart instead of a human being.

Dr. Link is also incredibly responsive and available, which matters more than people realize when you’re navigating something complex and frightening. She collaborates rather than dictates, respects the work I put in as a patient, and elevates that work with her own expertise, curiosity, and care.

It’s rare to find a doctor who is this intelligent, thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their patients’ outcomes. I trust her completely, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in my corner for so many years.

If you’re looking for a physician who combines deep knowledge with real humanity, Dr. Lilli Link is truly outstanding.

While I love Parsley’s mission, the actual service fell far short of their promise. Was a waste of time, energy and money:(

Lack of Continuity: I was set up with a Doctor who the company knew was leaving Parsley two weeks after our first appointment to establish care.

Unprepared Providers: My second doctor didn't realize we had met before and spent our limited 30-minute session reading the very labs she ordered for me during our first session for the first time in front of me. When we ended I had tons of unasked questions because she spent the whole call familiarizing her self with my labs, looking up things she didn’t know off hand, etc. Ended call more confused and concerned. Wish she came prepared with her understanding of my labs and a plan for me.

Operational Failures: Glitchy website sent wrong meeting reminders; lab order errors forced me to take additional time off work for a second trip to the lab.

Poor Value: For the price of membership, I expected a personal, quality experience. I felt like just another number in a disorganized system.

I was about 80% of the way through my one-year Parsley Health membership—which included five visits with a health coach and five with a doctor—when I was diagnosed with cancer. My life was completely turned upside down. After undergoing multiple surgeries, I realized my one-year membership was about to expire, so I reached out to ask what options were available to me.

I misread a somewhat confusing email response and believed they were advising me to schedule my remaining appointments before the one-year window closed. I did exactly that and completed the full ten visits - the ones I had already paid for.

Afterward, I discovered that Parsley Health had charged me for a second year of membership, which I neither wanted nor needed. Although they applied a small discount, I was still charged hundreds of dollars for a second year of care that I did not use. I only attended the appointments included in my original membership.

When I raised this issue, I was told they had to charge me because “they are a business.” If a healthcare company cannot show flexibility or compassion for someone going through cancer, it is not worth working with.

I was a Parsley Health member for 2 years, drawn to their holistic approach to healthcare. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of what's promised for a premium healthcare membership.

Major Issues:
Provider Continuity Problems: I had two different doctors leave during my membership, forcing me to restart my care from scratch each time - rebuilding relationships, re-explaining my complete health history, and re-establishing treatment goals. Critical information gets lost in these transitions. My most recent doctor completely forgot to order my lipid panel despite cholesterol monitoring being a primary reason I joined Parsley. A provider who truly knew my health profile would never miss something so fundamental to my care plan.

Scheduling Difficulties: Consistently struggled to get timely appointments. I later learned this was partly due to understaffing issues - unacceptable when you're paying premium prices for healthcare access.

Administrative Problems: Multiple billing errors, credits not properly applied, and incomplete lab orders requiring follow-up corrections.

The Final Straw: When my membership was ending, a team member reached out asking for feedback and offering a 15% discount. I sent a detailed, thoughtful response outlining all these issues and asking if a more substantial offer might be possible given the service failures. I never received a response.
This non-response perfectly encapsulates Parsley's core problem: lack of genuine follow-through and member care. When a patient takes time to provide honest feedback about their healthcare experience, complete silence speaks volumes about how much the company actually values its members.

Parsley Health has a compelling philosophy and approach, but the execution - particularly around provider stability and consistent care delivery - makes it impossible to recommend at this price point. You're paying premium prices for what ends up being fragmented, inconsistent care.

Irresponsible admin. Hard to get appointments. When you do, they hawk their own supplements. Absolute nonsense. The medical profession should be ashamed of Parsley.

It takes 4 months to get one virtual appointment, speaking from experience.

everything is fake about Parsley Health you can tell: they prescribed tons of exams, supplements never get back to you between 2 appointments even when they receive blood test results..
Do not get back to you even when you send an articulated letter of frustration and complain...

They just do not care.

My next move: cancelling my credit card on file

I entered my information to set up an account in February 2024 and was considering signing up for their services. As far as I could tell, I never agreed to pay anything and did not enter a credit card. After looking at Parsley Health and a couple of other options, I went with Allara Health and never thought about Parsley again. Fast forward to late August 2024 when I get a call from one of Parsley's sales reps about signing up. After talking to her I thought it might be the right fit and made an appointment with a doctor for the end of October. On October 1, I received a bill for $700, seven months of $100 charges! Not once in those seven months did I get a bill, a notification, anything! When I messaged them, they basically said "too bad" and that I should "contact my insurance." I would have shut down my account in March had I realized I was being charged every month. Between the poor billing experience and the abysmal customer service, I am canceling my service immediately and have filed a complaint with the BBB.

Save your money and time and look elsewhere for functional medicine providers! Parsley Health appears to have lots of staffing issues - I had two doctors, 3 nurses and 2 customer care representatives over the course of 2 months - lots of turn over. Doctors did not listen. They made quick a diagnosis and tried to make me fit into it, despite my symptoms not matching their diagnosis. Seems just as bad, or worse, than traditional western medicine. Dr. Nori Janosz actually talked over me during my appointment. She was a little sales girl, for sure, ordering multiple repetitive labs, even after we discussed keeping lab orders to a minimum due to out of pocket costs. Lots of hidden fees in the service. Dr. Nori Janosz did not hear my concerns or symptoms, and what she did hear, she manipulated to diminish, if not disregard, what I was saying. Just a gross experience for someone seeking help and trusted advice on their health. Health coach did nothing for me. AVOID THIS SERVICE AND THEIR PROVIDERS.
