Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine

I became a patient of Dr. Sklar years ago after attending her seminar on inflammation. A good friend suggested we go knowing that I was suffering with joint pain. After Dr. Sklar balanced my hormones and started me on a few other supplements my pain was gone in what seemed like no time. I have since gone through menopause virtually symptom free due to her keeping my hormones balanced by adjusting my levels every few months. I have referred friends and family to Dr. Sklar and they have all had very good results. My sister has many complicated health issues and Dr. Sklar has gone out of her way to figure out ways to help her more than any of her other doctors. She is an excellent researcher and is always thinking of how she can improve the lives of her patients. I am also very impressed by the friendly professionalism of her staff. They are very accommodating and it is always a pleasure to go to their office. I strongly endorse the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine.

Throughout the years I had multiple episodes of anxiety and depression but I was able to function without any treatment and medication. Until recently my anxiety and depression got so worst that I couldn’t even work. On January I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and depression. I was put on medication Zoloft and hydroxyzine, yeah I felt better but I constantly felt tired, sleepy, without energy and I still couldn’t manage my anxiety. I was referred to Dr Sklar by my sister, I was a little skeptical about it. Dr Sklar did multiple tests to find out if chemically my body was causing my anxiety and depression. Dr Sklar put me on a few supplements and asked me to change my diet and really encourage me to work out more, to be more active. It has been a few months and I feel much better. My anxiety levels decreased and I have more energy. I feel more happy, more optimistic. Depression and anxiety is a silent disease that kills people. There’s a shame to talk about it and seek help. I’m glad I was able to open up to my family and seek for help. Its a long road to recovery but never give up. I highly recommend Dr Sklar for anyone who is suffering depression and anxiety. There’s no magic pill that you are going feel good from one day to another but just know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Its all about not giving up and working with your Doctor as a team. Having fate and also working with your inner self.

WAS going to go here but decided not to right when I got a phone call from the receptionist about my consultation. She was so rude! She talked to me like I’m ignorant, and didn’t let me get a word in. Anyway, found a doctor in the area where the staff treats me with respect and appreciates my business.

Best doctor in town!
A few months ago, I was experiencing gastro– intestinal problems that no other doctor could diagnose or treat. After several visits to my regular GI doctor, an uncomfortable endoscopy and missing numerous hours of work I found Dr. Sklar.
She patiently listened to all my symptoms, and she recommended one simple and painless lab. A week later results were in she immediately called me to discuss results and treatment. She explained to me what was causing the pain and other symptoms (I can’t believe that the other doctors missed this and totally misdiagnosed me). Dr. Sklar recommended a treatment which included pro biotic, a diet and multivitamins to restore the lining of my stomach. Two weeks later I have no symptoms. I feel great! The medications she prescribed me are healing my entire body. If I hadn’t had found Dr. Sklar I would have ended up with a painful stomach ulcer.
Here is what to expect:
–She has a great office and friendly staff
— Compassionate and caring doctor
–A doctor that has time to listen to you
–holistic treatments

This is going to seem like a very biased review, as Dr. Sklar is my mother, but honestly, I am also a patient, and she is a miracle-​worker.
I have learned so much from Dr. Sklar about my personal health, and she’s also taught me how difficult it is to stay healthy in our modern world. Dr. Sklar diagnosed me with low thyroid a few years ago, and after putting me on supplements I immediately began to feel like I had more energy. About a year ago, I began feeling incredibly sluggish and almost constantly fatigued, so she tested me for adrenal fatigue. I thought my fatigue was due to working with people constantly, but Dr. Sklar helped me realize this kind of exhaustion is not normal, and there was something wrong. I’m now taking supplements that have given me my energy and stamina back, and I’ve really learned how to best take care of myself: considering the kinds of food I eat, exercising regularly, and getting the rest I need.
Not only has Dr. Sklar made me feel happy and healthy, but my mother is an incredible role-​model for how to age with energy, grace, and compassion for others. I’m not saying it’s easy –I have been to 6am bootcamp workouts with her –but she knows that hard work and self-​care are imperative to health and well-​being. Through her actions she shows her patients that the best way to care for others and function optimally in our busy society is to care for yourself first. I want to say I get special treatment as Dr. Sklar’s daughter, but I’m pretty sure all of her patients gets the same kind of compassionate, thorough care that I receive.

I went to Dr. Sklar two years ago. I was tired all of the time, had no physical stamina, I couldn’t even walk the dog for 15 minutes. I was feeling sick all of the time and had to take multiple naps each day. I couldn’t maintain a 40 hour a week job because of my lack of energy and health.
I went to one of Dr. Sklar’s seminars and thought I was feeling so badly I had nothing to lose. I had been to multiple doctors and had gotten no where but worse, so I gave her a try. She was wonderful! Through her thorough examination, questionnaire, and testing process we were able to determine that my hormones were ALL extremely low for my age. She was able to treat them appropriately and get me back on course to health.
My health and hormone levels have improved immensely over the last two years. I’m back to functioning as a productive citizen and mother; maintaining a well paying job that includes travel, participating in my family, being able to play and exercise again. Thank you, Dr. Sklar for giving my life back! The services you provide to women are invaluable.

Dr. Sklar changed my life! I was constantly tired and hadn’t lost any weight since my last baby 8 years ago. I started suffering from hot flashes, and my regular doctor told me” I should bear with it. I was going through the change in life”
Then I found Dr. Sklar she found that I had a under active thyroid, and was pre menopausal and many other things. She started me on a number of pills and creams and within 2 months I had lost 10lbs.(after 7 years of trying) my skin was no longer dry and I had energy that I hadn’t seen in years! I am now interested in my husband again, feel great about myself and enjoy looking good! The program is worth every penny, because when you feel bad about yourself, everything is bad.

I came to Dr. Sklar just over a year ago. I was 48 and had lost all patience with people. Very irritable, unable to sleep through the night, exhausted during the day, suffering from hot flashes and headaches, fighting colds, unable to lose excess weight with diet and exercise, fighting cravings for sugar and fast foods. I had symptoms I didn’t even know were symptoms! Just figured it was to be expected as you age. After a year under Dr. Sklar’s care I now have energy again! The weight is coming off and I can deal with people again! My life has completely changed. I’m taking a solo trip to Hawaii to Kayak, hike mountains and celebrate!
Bio-​identical hormones — expensive. Feel like a kid again — priceless!

About two years ago I started becoming increasingly ill, yet could not understand why.
I consulted several doctors who ran several tests on me, yet were not able to figure out what was wrong. They resorted to prescribing me strong antibiotics for lengthy periods of time, or simply sent me away, stating there was nothing wrong with me.
My symptoms included hair loss, weight-​gain, insomnia, depression, changes in my skin, muscle tone, along with various other ailments.
I read a book called «Breakthrough» by Suzanne Somers and realized there was a whole different way of interpreting my symptoms and only a few doctors actually specialized in the kind of treatment I needed.
By chance I came across an ad for The Sklar Center in the paper, after skimming the ad, I realized that Susan Sklar was the type of doctor I was looking for. One who specialized in bio-​identical hormones as opposed to synthetic hormones which can be dangerous.
I booked an appointment with her immediately. As soon as I met with her a couple of days later, I felt all the tension leave my body as I sat and spoke with her about my problems. She understood what I was going through and confident she could find the problem.
Right then and there in her office she took my blood so it could be sent off that day to be analyzed along with sending me home with a saliva test, a stool sample kit, and what seemed like a 20 page booklet of information she wanted to collect on my symptoms and medical history.
Susan left no stone unturned and gave me her undivided attention for nearly an hour that day. She was very supportive and attentive as I sat there crying and blurting out every last symptom I had been developing over the past year and a half.
I went home that day actually feeling good about my visit with her and confident that she would get down to the bottom of my situation.
I met with her after my test results came back which took about 2 – 3 weeks to get the results back on all three tests. I was shocked yet relieved that she had discovered a multitude of issues I was going to face.
My adrenal glands has burned out and were no longer functioning, my Thyroid was low as were many of my other hormones, I was vitamin deficient, and to top it all off, I had intestinal parasites!
Although I was overjoyed to finally have some answers and a place to start regarding treatment, I was extremely annoyed that other doctors had failed to identify at least ONE of these problems!
I put those feelings aside and began treatment.
I received an antibiotic for the parasites, started on bio-​identical hormone replacement therapy and started taking my vitamins and fish oil.
Three months into all of this I noticed a complete turn around. My energy levels were up, I no longer felt fatigued all of the time, my hair and skin got better, my mood improved and I am a much happier person.
My only complaint is that I have not lost all the weight I have gained, but realize this will take time.
I would recommend Dr. Sklar for anyone who is going through what I went through.
I must warn you, Dr. Sklar does not take insurance. It is a private practice and she accepts cash, checks and credit.
She is a bit pricey so consult with her first and plan accordingly.
Good luck :)
