Thank you for your 5-star rating! We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again soon.
I am often writing reviews that are critical on here, but after going to this place 3 times, I have to give it 5 stars and share how shockingly happy I am to have found. I have spent about 100,000 hours studying and experimenting on health. Catie is so sensible and science based, it is so refreshing, wish I had found her sooner! I wish she could be the only Dr I see! I have been so poor due to being disabled yet undiagnosed/untreated until recently that paying out of pocket was an extravagance, but now I see firsthand how you get way better health care when you cut out the insurance companies, I can't even begin to explain huge the difference is with someone like Catie compared to corporate Drs, no contest, I can never go back to corporate care/insurance, its worse than useless, it is injuring!

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Philly Wellness Center and I can confidently say it has been a transformative experience. I showed up with a headache and back pain but left there pain free.
Overall, I highly recommend the Philly Wellness Center to anyone seeking a path to long term well-being!! Thank you Catie!

I had a treatment done and did not see satisfactory results. Very expensive and painful treatment. I never got a response when I reached back out. NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE VIA EMAIL.
Response from the owner 22:11 03 Feb 25
We sincerely apologize for your experience, Karen. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we take these matters seriously. Despite that you sent your message via Instagram on a Sunday night, we responded to you on Monday via email and asked you to come in so we could evaluate what the issue is and how we could fix it for you. We were both really impressed with your results in the moment, so I'd really like to know what changed and make it up to you.
Alternative medicine definitely has its place in our medical world which drives its policies on profit and not patient outcome. If you are in need of alternative therapy, especially where traditional for profit western medicine has not offered satisfaction then Philly Wellness and its proprietor, Cati Harris is the place to go. I was made to feel very welcome and each process was fully explained. Cati Harris is a medical professional with the utmost integrity and the extent of her knowledge is truly breath taking. In my case I had a bum shoulder and after one treatment was able to extend my range of motion four inches. This is after 3 months of traditional medical care. Weight loss, hormone therapy, body sculpting, injury healing are just a few of her offerings and with honest and straight forward answers to all of your questions.

Thank you for your detailed and positive review, Jed! We're thrilled to hear that you found our services beneficial and that Cati made you feel welcomed and informed. It’s wonderful to know that you experienced such improvement with your shoulder after just one treatment. Your endorsement of alternative therapies means a lot to us, and we look forward to continuing to support your wellness journey!
What a great experience! My facial with Saryah was so lovely. I did the Signature facial with micro dermabrasion and the cold treatment and can tell a difference in my skin already :)

My facial with Saryah was absolutely amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the products and services offered. My skin felt so soft, smooth, subtle and glowing afterwards. I’m excited to use the products I purchased and I’ll definitely be returning for more services and referring my family and friends.

One of the best experiences I have had at a med spa. Catie is very knowledgeable in all the areas especially regenerative medicine in which was the treatment I received. I look forward to coming back up in Feb for some laser treatments. So many promising treatments needed and Philly wellness has all I need. Their staff is amazing! Can’t wait to come back up to Philly!

After PRP and Ozone therapy my Sciatica is in remission! Wonderful it took about 7-10 days I think to find some sustained relief but I’m happy the chronic pain has seemed to subside. Ask about back and nerve pain Cati does a wonderful job.
Response from the owner 19:02 17 Dec 24

Cati is indeed dedicated to her work, and we appreciate your recommendation. Your well-being is our priority, and we look forward to continuing to support your health journey.
I’ve had lower back issues for years. Bulging disc and sciatic nerve issues. I went to Catie at Philly wellness to try some peptide injections a few weeks ago. My back has not felt this loose and comfortable in at least a decade. Highly recommend Catie!!! You’re the best!
Response from the owner 17:24 02 Dec 24
Thank you for your wonderful review, Jay! We're thrilled to hear that Catie has made such a positive impact on your back issues. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to supporting your wellness journey further!Brands We Love & Trust
don’t know about you, but we’ve been super frustrated trying to find brands that are eco conscious and use non-toxic, non cancerous ingredients. I never realized how difficult it was to find brands that fit these criteria. Is it really that much to ask that known carcinogens aren’t placed in our skin care products?
After a long, hard search, we are thrilled to share with you our curated partners who go above our expectations.
