How we determine this score?
Every rating you see is the product of a two-step process that blends data
science with human clinical insight:
Comprehensive review sweep We
collect every publicly available patient review we can find—Google, Yelp,
Healthgrades, ZocDoc, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, forums, and more.
Duplicate or spam entries are filtered out, and each review is time-stamped
so that newer feedback carries more weight.
13-factor sentiment analysis + expert audit
A custom language-model pipeline scores each review across the 13 dimensions
patients care about most:
Friendliness | Professionalism | Responsiveness
| Accessibility | Clarity of Explanations | Willingness to Listen | Personalization of Treatment |
Billing Transparency | Value | Recurring Praise
| Recurring Complaints | Side-Effect Education | Diet/Nutrition Guidance
The algorithm converts raw language into numerical sentiment, flags
outliers, and spots consistent themes. Finally, a board-certified
clinician reviews the automated output to ensure medical-grade accuracy
and context.
The result is a single, easy-to-read satisfaction bar that reflects real
patient experience, not marketing copy. By combining transparent methodology,
physician oversight, and continuously updated data, we deliver a score you can
trust and that meets standards for authoritative health review content.

Review Sentiment Quality
Tone and trust language in the most recent 10-20 reviews
25%
Recent patient feedback is overwhelmingly positive in tone. Clients describe the staff as friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable, often mentioning specific providers by name and noting they felt fully cared for (e.g., “10/10 experience” and never feeling pressured).
Review Sentiment + Rating
Adjusted for inflation; not linear
10%
The San Diego location has a perfect 5.0-star rating but with a limited number of total reviews so far. While all reviewers gave top marks, the small sample size suggests the volume of feedback is still growing.
MD-Led Practice
Is the clinic led by a visible MD or board-certified physician?
10%
The clinic is physician-owned and operated by a board-certified MD, providing medical oversight. An experienced Nurse Practitioner leads daily patient care, so while an MD is not the primary face in marketing, there is solid medical leadership guiding the practice.
Estimated Years in Business
Based on site language, domain age and review timeline
10%
Established around 2019, the practice has roughly 5–6 years of operational history. The San Diego branch is newer, but the overall brand’s several-year track record and gradual expansion indicate a stable presence.
Specialization in Hormone Therapy
Is hormone optimization a core offering or a secondary add-on?
10%
Hormone optimization is a core offering here. The clinic prominently features Hormone Replacement Therapy for both men and women, indicating significant focus and expertise in HRT alongside its other services (not just a minor add-on).
Provider Relationship Model
Small, consistent provider model vs high-volume or anonymous feel
10%
Patients report a very personalized, small-team experience. They consistently see familiar providers (the same few nurses/clinicians) and praise the one-on-one attention, suggesting a boutique approach rather than a high-volume, impersonal clinic feel.
Unique Differentiators
TRT + HRT + GLP-1s + peptides = strong depth
10%
The Studio Med Spa offers a blend of advanced aesthetic treatments and hormone wellness under one roof, which not all clinics do. They emphasize transparent care (no hard upselling) and have membership options. However, beyond having an MD owner and broad services, there’s little evidence of concierge features like in-house labs or house calls that would markedly set it apart.
