  • This is the worst treatment center you can attend. The price is way to much he charges thousands to sit in a crowded room for a hour. By the time you introduce yourself class is over I give it a negative 10 my family got cheated out of tons of money and this is what he would " say" to parents that he has a 50% success rate.
