Julie Taylor MD Center for Functional Medicine - Pasadena, California

Dr. Taylor practices concierge medical service. She charges $540 monthly. Hormone replacement procedure with additional fees. No one including the doctor took the time to inform me about this practices, her philosophy and scope of work, apparently these information were hidden in the new patient package. I confronted the receptionist and she disputed that I signed all the document and should have read about the monthly charges but I did not read line by line. She could have pointed out since this is not a common practice particularly with unexpected charges!
The availability was poor! It took forever to get my first appointment because many days of the week, Dr. Taylor does telehealth appointment! The first visit was by cash about $1,800 which included one bottle of supplement and a Dutch dry urine test. My next appointment was for hormone placement but was rescheduled and also she needed the result of the Dutch test! No one has given me ANY INSTRUCTION about how to do the test which is a relatively complicated test! I had to call Dutch Test office to find out exactly how particularly about water consumption during the multiple urine tests! I do not know at all what her concierge service was all about and truth to be told, I do not need that level of care since I do not suffer chronic illness! I request to cancel my concierge services so I have to begin all over again for a hormone replacement doctor!

I have been struggling with my hormones since 2020. I started with Dr. Julie Taylor but then decided to go elsewhere when I wasn't balanced fast enough. I know now that it takes a while!
I really delayed getting balanced because I started over with a different doctor who really didn't know what he was doing. For one, he didn't believe in testing to see where the levels were at. He just asked how do you feel. Oh you feel hot? Just take more estrogen, Oh you cant sleep, just take more progesterone, without testing to see what my levels were really at. Well long story short, I developed a thick uterine lining due to too much estrogen, and continued to be unbalanced.
So I went back to Dr. Taylor and am so glad that I did. She really understands hormones as well as the female anatomy, and she was able to thin out my uterine lining by balancing me with hormones. It has taken a while because hormones for me are so tricky and you have to take all three to be balanced...Progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. If one of them is off, the body will not be balanced and you feel terrible.
I am very happy to have Julie Taylor MD as my Dr. I highly recommend her for hormone balancing. She really knows what she is doing!

I went to Dr. Taylor while I was pregnant after my mom began going and loved it. My hopes were to balance my hormones as much as possible after birth to avoid postpartum anxiety/depression. Dr. Taylor has been growing in clients which is great for her however I feel like it’s made her so much less reliable. I’ve had three appointments that were messed up or just completely missed by Dr. Taylor and her front desk lady. Dr. Taylor never really did anything to balance my hormones other than prescribe me over $200 in supplements I can buy at the store for a fraction of the price. She also judged me for the way I chose to feed my baby and shamed me for struggling with breastfeeding. She questioned my parenting abilities when I saw her one month after giving birth and talked to me in such a condescending way. Being a first time mom, four weeks postpartum, and extremely hormonally unbalanced this was not what I needed to hear and it made me want to never come back but I did. Big mistake. I showed up to an appointment that the front desk lady forgot to schedule so I had to go back home and I was to expect a call from the doctor which I never got. Then I received a voicemail hours later and was unable to make another appointment because of the front desk lady’s incompetence. The services provided are not covered under insurance and are extremely expensive and in my opinion a waste of money. You have to pay hundreds of dollars monthly even when the doctor no shows her appointments, on top of these at home blood test kits that cost another $500-$600 which provided no information about my hormones at all. Please don’t be fooled by the good reviews and try to look for another functional medicine practice.

Thank you, Dr. Julie, for bringing me back to life. I'm currently going through menopause. Before I started my bio-identail pallet treatment. I was feeling depressed, didn't want to get out of bed, anxiety, not sleeping through the night, horrible hot flashes, and night sweats. Once I began my bio-identail treatment with the pallet. I came back to life. I gained my energy, keeping my weight, sleeping well, no more hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety. What I love about Dr. Julie is that I'm not just her patient. I'm a woman that can share the most intimate issues about my life.
I highly recommend Dr. Julie. Veronica Franco

I've been seeing Dr Taylor for over 6 moths and her expertise has been very beneficial. My digestion is better, vitamin levels greatly improved, and in part through her care, I have successfully battled cancer without chemotherapy and am currently in remission. Her care and compassion shows through to her patients, a rare thing in this medical world!

I haven’t felt this healthy in years! Dr Taylor is highly knowledgeable and has great communication skills. She was able to get me off all my prescriptions and treat me holistically. Her concern for her patient’s health is clearly her passion. I’ve referred all my friends and family and they couldn’t be happier!

Dr. Taylor approaches whatever your concern may be in a way that I have rarely experienced before-she looks at the full picture of what is going on and then finds an effective treatment plan. Not to mention, the care and respect she treats patients with. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor.
