Dr. Kara J Nance

Dr. Nance is incredibly thorough and spends her time (more than I'm used to) speaking with her patients to find out if there are challenges or issues. She's amazing.

When I lived in Chicago area I was a patient for Dr. Nance she helped me tremendously. I’ve moved away only if I could find a Physician such as Dr.Nance carry understanding always educating mentally physically and emotionally. I live now in Arlington, Texas hoping to find someone like Dr.Nance . She is truly a pioneer of new medicine on how to educate and get the patient the results they need to be a better you , me and I. If there were only more doctors like Dr. Nance the world would be a better place if not definitely healthier thanks docotr Nanve .

I started seeing Dr. Nance in 2015 and she was very good for my weight loss and weight management. She offered products and programs to assist in this. Her staff was always very friendly and helpful. If I had any other issues she would recommend me to a specialist and always took the time to talk with me during our visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Nance if you are needing weight loss or weight management. She can really get you on track with mindfulness processes. I learned a lot about myself and the program she follows.

Love the mindfulness approach. Dr Nance introduced me to mediation and taught how to listen to my body to help achieve the goals I am looking for.

I made an appointment for medical problems bothering me. The issues I spoke about were not addressed, and come to find out not even included in my medical notes. But instead I was pushed into random vaccines I did not need or want (this was even pre-covid). I know I did not need this useless vaccine, but it made me sick for a long time, and I am still sick from it. I am very angry and resent that this happened to me, so I do not believe in doctors anymore.

Appointment Scheduled though ZocDoc: I had an appointment with Dr. Nance for bloodwork only. She tried to to upsell me on procedures I didn't ask for the entire time. When I was unwilling to do so, she was pushy & condescending. She was acting like a salesman, and trying to put as many items on my insurance as possible. She also treated my husband like he was being controlling because he helped me answer some questions regarding my medical history. If the roles were reversed (wife answering questions for the husband) no one would bat an eye. I wouldn't have asked him to come if I didn't want him there. She insisted on a physical, and when I said no she told me that not allowing her to do a physical before bloodwork would hold her liable. I'm still unclear on what exactly she would be liable for. She is a doctor & is already liable for what she does with patients. It was double speak & was a scare tactic. I don't appreciate doctors who try to use their position to manipulate. Again, I specifically came in for blood work only. My early morning appointment was also placed on pending at 6:30am the morning of my appointment because the doctors office wanted to reschedule my appointment for an even earlier time. I was informed via email that my appointment would be cancelled unless I called them immediately. Again, unprofessional. The only positive note during this visit is that her phlebotomist/nurse did an amazing job drawing blood. I was very impressed with her skill & professional attitude. I do not recommend Dr. Nance at all. Only go to her if you enjoy doctors trying to manipulate you. Appointment Scheduled though ZocDoc: I had an appointment with Dr. Nance for bloodwork only.

Unprofessional and rude staff. For no reason whatsoever, Dr Nance had me drop my pants, looked at my junk and had me pull my pants back up. On two occasions they have had my blood work waiting for a few days after my visit. Upon calling to ask questions about the bloodwork I was greeted with a lot of huffing and puffing by her staff member who insisted I’d need to talk to the doctor to interpret my simple cholesterol and thyroid levels. I told them to send me all of my medical records and that I would never be coming back. Unprofessional and rude staff.

Dr Nance doesn't have the best bedside manner. I started going to her bbn practice in 2018. I first saw her partner and loved her. I went to see Dr Nance after her partner moved away. I have sinuse problems almost every winter and many times it moves to an upper respiratory infection. I came in and she wasn't super friendly, which is fine but when I asked her if my symptoms persist how long I should wait before coming in again. She said that being over weight contributes to getting sick and I should try to loose weight along with meditating and getting rest... I ended up scheduling a month or 2 later with the nurse practitioner for the same reaccuring symptoms. I really liked everyone that worked in the office so I would just schedule my appointments with her nurse practitioner. When covid-19 hit, there was only Dr Nance. And everytime I came in I felt like I had to remind her of my previous visits, which I'm not sure why the information is in my charts, it seemed like she didn't look at them before coming in to the appointment. I did go there for the weight management component, but she really does push this app, and taking her classes all of which cost money. That isn't terrible, just slightly annoying. I was with her for 3 years and the last appointment she asked who my primary care doctor was...it was her... I decided I needed to find someone else. I would not recommend going here for your primary care but if you need someone for weight management it isn't bad. Dr Nance doesn't have the best bedside manner.

Dr. Nance has an excellent bedside manner. All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a thorough direct manner and a treatment plan was provided moving forward. Wait time was very short and I never felt rushed throughout the consultation. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Nance did not listen to anything I was saying as far as my medical history and was extremely condescending. She did not wear a white coat, a name tag, but instead wore tight, form-fitting clothing which seemed very unprofessional. Neither her, nor the medical assistant ever said my name, confirmed my date of birth, or used hand sanitizer prior to touching me. The doctor informed me that if I exercised and meditated, I would be fine and gave me several apps to use for meditation..... I was billed incorrectly. They are denying me of my full medical records. They will not give me my results without an office visit because "doctors are getting paid for giving the advice, and the only way they can get paid and continue providing care to the patients is by seing patients in the office (or via telemedicine during the pandemic) and billing insurance. I hope you understatnd." [that is copied exactly from the office manager, including the spelling mistakes]. Horrible experience.

I saw Dr. Nance in 2018 and she destroyed my mental health by trying to convince me to do keto for my health condition. I couldn't trust any health care providers after the pushy sales techniques and the mind games. She told me I was "probably infetile" to try and get me to join her weightloss program. I'm now seeing a different doctor - one that specializes in my condition and she was extremely disappointed to hear that a Dr. Nance would day such a thing, because was wrong and she had no evidence to say I was infertile. Im also now learning that keto is not good for my health condition... I'm so disappointed that I chose to see Dr. Nance, I wish I never did. I would have saved a lot of time worrying and stressing.

I seriously loved my first doctors visit and I usually despise them. As a veteran, all the staff I encountered treated me with respect and dignity, and took all my concerns and issues seriously. I trust this dr and her team and am glad I found them! 5+ stars...

Kara Nance & her office staff were very nice to me during the visit. The office is nice. I didn’t have to wait long. There is a convenient optional online patient portal where you can obtain test results & even ask the doctor questions, & she is nice enough to answer them herself. To get the most out of having Dr. Nance as a doctor, it is important first that you understand what kind of doctor office this is so you can use her services to your advantage. This is a doctor who specializes in (1) calorie counseling, when being overweight is due to calorie over-consumption only, but not from hormone problems or other medical problems, & (2) diabetes management or specialized insulin level problems. They do run standard CBC & Chemistry labs & pap smears. However, this is not a primary care doctor nor a gynecology doctor. If you ask non-calorie related primary care or gynecology/women’s health questions, they will not answer those questions & instead tell you to see another doctor instead.

In just a few weeks down 20 lbs...amazing staff!

I have been seeing Dr. Nance since February. In this time she has helped me lower my cholesterol, blood pressure and lose 27 pounds. I feel that I am at my best physically and emotionally because of her. She is professional and offers her time and options to help you with your overall health and wellness. I have never had a doctor that is willing to work with the whole person. I have recommended Dr. Nance to friends and family even my Orthopedic Doctor that noticed I had lost weight.

I normally do not write reviews like this, but I thought it worthwhile for those interested in working with Dr. Nance and her team. I wanted to write this because I know it can be scary committing and taking the steps to get started, but I can tell you that I do not have one single regret in making the choice to get help. I have never felt judged or chastised by anyone at the office and have appreciated the entire staffs positive attitude and encouragement for me on my journey. I have been in the program for 10 weeks now and I am down 42 pounds. What I like about the team is that through the use of their products, scheduled check-ins, and meetings they create a full support system not only meant to help you lose weight, but help make the actual lifestyle change to sustain it. For the first time in my life, I feel like I am dieting with purpose and intention and it feels really good. The meal program is convenient and a weeks worth of food costs me less than what I used to spend on t

Dr. Nance is a very passionate and caring physician. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Nance has been my doctor for the past six years. Under her guidance she has helped me lose 15 lbs and improved my blood sugar. She's a very smart internist and I have total confidence in her care. Her appointments are on time and the office staff pleasant. I recommend her for anyone that wants to take charge of improving their health. She's no nonsense and will hold you accountable to do what's needed for a healthier life.

Dr Nance is god sent. Anyone who puts negative reviews here doesn’t know what she does and what she stands for. She had changed my life and I can’t imagine a life without her as my doctor. She’s truly the most amazing doctor ever born and you’d be fortunate to be in her care.

I just changed dr's because of insurance, I was hesitant but when I met Dr Nance and her assoc also all staff I was very pleased and comfortable, they answered all my questions explained everything and I did not even wait 5 minutes. Thank you so much for your excellent service and care. I can't believe I was so fortunate with my first pick but I will take it!!!

After reading some feedback I felt I should add my experience with Dr. Nance. First, she doesn't overbook like other offices so you aren't waiting to see her for a long time. She's thorough and explains things very well. When she comes in the room to see you, you can tell she genuinely cares. She sits down and treats you like you're her only patient for the day. You can expect her full attention and she doesn't rush you out. After reading some feedback I felt I should add my experience with Dr. Nance.

I suffer from a binge eating disorder. I wanted to see Dr Nance to get help losing weight. She was NOT compassionate to my situation, and instead humiliated me. Then she pushed me to buy HER "special" food, which would cost around $400 a week. I left feel so belittled, and very depressed, with even less self-worth than when I went in.

i have already recomended dr nance to several friends. i am very happy with the level and quality of care i receive from dr nance and everyone else at the office. i am more knowledgeable, more healthy and better able to cope with everyday health decisions.

O first encountered Dr. Nanc e at a clinic in Arlington Heights. Was quite unhappy to learn she had left. I developed a good relationship with another female doc, who both O and my husband liked, but I still missed Dr. Nance. When 2nd female doc left, I knew just where my 'he's doc would be. My husband was very i impressed with her. She is very competent, never acts like you're a sore throat instead of a person, never makes you feel rushed. Also gentle, great smile. Office staff efficient

All her diagnose have been well off. She is much more interested in making patients come in for redundant and useless appointments then treating the patient.

I found Dr. Nance to be understanding of my difficulty in losing weight but yet encouraging, knowledgeable and very quick to engage in a fact filled, firm discussions on what I need to reach my weight-loss goals. I have highly recommended her practice to friends who are having problems managing their weight. My regular doctor was extremely pleased in the results of weight loss and general health improvement. If you need help losing weight, GO SEE HER!

I am extremely happy that I found Dr. Nance. She has helped me to get healthy taking a natural course of diet and exercise as well as Mindfulness. She has always been positive in helping me achieve my goals and I trust her totally with my healthcare. I did not have a physician for 15 years because I didn't trust the ones from my past but now I have a Great Physician and feel at ease under her guidance.

My experiences with Dr. Nance have been above and beyond all expectations. She is not a typical, follow a protocol, type Dr. I describe her as a Dr. who tries to make a body healthy before she prescribes a bunch of meds. Her approach is refreshing. She has tailored her approach to my weight loss and health issues based on what motivates me and my personality type.

Following her instructions, attending her seminars and with persistence, I have lost over 50 pounds and kept it off. Dr. Nance and her team will teach you how to lose the weight and keep it off. Dr. Nance and her team help keep track of your progress through repeat visits to keep you on track. The seminars are informative and helpful. Her team is polite, courteous, and professional. I would recommend her to those that are serious and ready to lose some weight.

Dr. Nance was dishonest and pulled a bait and switch. She told me her seminar would cost $50 for materials. 2 weeks later, she informed me that it was $1200 and only covered by insurance if I was in her weight management program. Her lack of sensitivity was also upsetting. She referred to me as a ?psych patient? to my face and she actually asked me ?do you want your fianc? to die? Because that is what will happen if he doesn?t stop eating junk. I left her office feeling awful and cheated.

She is very thorough but in a pushy way. I will never see this doctor again. I understand the reasons behind her pushiness and that she is the doctor, not me. However, I very clearly stated that I suffered from moderate depression, chronic fatigue, and chronic insomnia. I had mentioned I had seen a different doctor and was prescribed klonopin for the insomnia. I was happy on the klonopin, but just needed a higher dose. However, she did not care and prescribed ambien which worsened my depression.
