My name is Monica Mangrum I'm a patient of Dr. Shel's and I initially started coming to her office five or six years ago for the aesthetics. I was ready for some fillers and a little bonus lift here and there. It didn't hurt at all. I got the Botox and the technicians here we're able to tell me where I would mostly need it and what type of results I could find and see afterwards and I kept that up for a while then I decided it was time for me to do the wellness end of her clinic. I don't like to necessarily go to the gynecologist, and I've been very well for years and I was worried that I would get some bad news down the road, so I kept putting it off. I work for myself. I wasn't covered by insurance and decided I would go ahead and come in and be the smart girl. She did the bone density testing. She did different saliva tests to find out my deficiencies I might have in vitamins or minerals and supplements, and that was very informative. I came back with some results of things that I guess over about a month or so...then I was feeling better. I could...I don't know...I felt better all over and then you feel better and you start working on other things. You diet right and exercise a little bit. I know I'm small and small framed women have a problem with osteoporosis. I didn't think I was old enough for that, but the results came back that I was already having problems with osteoporosis. So, that was a very good point for me coming in and having it done. The most important thing that I found out what we did the testing was that I have a heart issue. Dr. Shel let me know that this was something that could not be fixed with diet, exercise or medication. That kind of set me back and got me thinking...now I waited too long to come in for this wellness part of the procedures and the wellness part of the exams and testing. Big mistake! You need to come in by the calendar. Look at it. If you're 50...do this. If you're 55...it's time for that. I was able to go in and get my cardiologist picked out and have some testing done. He looked at my heart and scanned and actually had to put a stent in that day because I was still feeling sluggish and that's what Dr. Shel told me. She said, a lot of this is not going to be something you can fix with vitamins and supplements. You're going to need to go to the cardiologist and find out what's going on, because I was tired but...I'm young and energetic all the time. I went in and the doctor had to put a stent in and he showed me with a little pencil drawing that he put in that I had a lot of blockage. In fact it was only twenty percent, twenty-six percent clear. Three months later I had a double bypass surgery and that was about a year and a half ago. I'm doing very fine. It's not a fun surgery, but I am here sitting with my two grandchildren and having a wonderful time. Have someone trained or someone educated to let you know what's going on.
