What Our Patients Say
“I had gone to 7 doctors in one year and was given solutions to my issues that did not work. Dr. Harper listened to what I had to say and made recommendations based on my blood work. Since starting at Dr. Harper’s, I’ve done PRP, hormone treatments, genetic analysis, HCG, and aesthetics. … now I have the energy to be in nursing school, work as a nanny, workout, and have an active social life. I’m so grateful that I found Dr. Harper and her team. They have changed my life. “
Kendall B. Age 21…
“I am convinced Dr. Harper has added years to my life and the quality of my life has improved dramatically. I now have energy, my libido is back and my brain is working again. I have lost the weight and repaired my metabolism. I feel physically and emotionally healthy once again. Dr. Harper has made such a difference in my life, I wish my whole family could come and see her!”
E.K. – Age 48…
“Dr. Harper was able to explain the connections between my conditions, and why the pills and eating plans I had tried didn’t work well. After 3 months on her regimen of diet, supplements, hormone therapy, and exercise, I experienced significant improvement in my energy level; my blood sugar levels dropped considerably; my memory and ability to think clearly improved; and I lost 16 pounds. I am so thankful that I found Dr. Harper and really appreciate her targeted, individual, and personal care. I am enjoying my life again.”
K.T. – Age 59…
“Dr. Harper has the rare combination of a brilliant mind and a good heart. She and her staff genuinely care about and are committed to their patients achieving their best health and well-being. I had been struggling with overweight for about 10 years. With Dr. Harper’s care and guidance, my weight decreased and has stabilized at a normal level for the past 5 years. Dr. Harper’s knowledge, skill and commitment to helping me achieve my best health and appearance cannot be replicated. The care, treatment and guidance I receive from Dr. Harper and her excellent staff continues to improve my health, self-image and self-esteem.”

“I wanted to reach out to you again and express my gratitude and appreciation for the results you helped me achieve with the thread lift procedure. After receiving disappointing results with Thermage I had my doubts. I also looked into the mini face lift but felt the procedure would be too invasive. I wanted a process with very little discomfort and instant results. From our initial meeting I knew I had made the right choice. Your expertise and knowledge for the thread lift was evident and I knew I had made the right decision. I cannot say thank you enough for helping me feel more confident about myself. I will always be grateful for your expertise and your support.”

“I started seeing Dr. Harper after I was diagnosed with type II diabetes. My family doctor wanted to put me on medication and I wanted to try to control my health through my diet. I lost 35 pounds in 63 days. … I am no longer diabetic and am on no medication. My energy is great, no more bowel issues, and all the various symptoms that go with diabetes have resolved. The difference with Dr. Harper program’s from other doctors or nutritionist is that she creates a scientific roadmap based on her knowledge and laboratory testing. I feel like I have had a metamorphosis. I am beginning a truly new life and have a plan that works. I feel phenomenal.”
T.K. – Age 51…
“I was 51 and had been premenopausal for years. The joints and muscles all over my body ached most of the time. I was experiencing night sweats and hot flashes during the day. I had begun to feel empty and had lost a lot of passion for anything in my life. After taking a thorough history and sending me for blood work, Dr. Harper met with me and explained what was happening in my body. She personalized a plan for me according to my family history and blood work. In just a few weeks I began to feel better. I wasn’t as tired all the time and my body did not ache as much. I am extremely happy with the results I have achieved being a patient of Dr. Harper. Dr. Harper is a brilliant physician & a caring and approachable person.”
C.S. – Age 52…
“I heard Dr. Harper speak in January 2012 and she seemed to speak my language. Dr. Harper’s approach to treating and correcting causes rather than symptoms in both weight management and skin care has really resonated with me. It is obvious through my interactions with her, and her striking appearance, that Dr. Harper practices her own recommendations. That makes a difference to those of us who follow her medical advise.”
S.E. – Age 62…
“After turning 50 things started to change and everything that worked for me before no longer had the same results. After trying unsuccessfully for years, to figure out on my own what was going on with my health and why I couldn’t lose weight, sleep well or feel energetic, I met with Ruthie Harper and did exactly what she said to do. It was painless and pleasant and after a short time I am back at the top of my game, again! I have lost 10 pounds without really trying, I sleep better than I ever have, I have good energy and an even better attitude! Dr. Harper is passionate about helping women understand and maximize their health, and to feel vibrant and happy. I highly recommend Dr. Harper to anyone seeking optimal health.”
