The doctors and staff of the Functional Endocrinology Center of Colorado (FECC) are disappointed by the tone of the story aired by KMGH (Channel 7) in Denver on April 28, 2011.

We became aware of the story in February and cooperated fully, including inviting Theresa Marchetta to our office for an interview. Additionally, we provided Ms. Marchetta with references to credible scientific studies, and invited her to come to our office to review statistics and testimonials. Ms. Marchetta never responded to any emails from our staff. We also know that several patients with positive experiences at our office offered to be interviewed . Ms. Marchetta never followed up with these individuals. Notably, two of the individuals upon which Ms. Marchetta’s story was based never became patients in our office.

The story does not reflect a balanced perspective.

In the past four years, we have provided treatment programs for Type II Diabetes and Hypothyroidism to many patients who have:
• Reduced the need for prescription medications for insulin, sleep, weight management
• Resumed regular exercise programs
• Seen lifestyle changes that result in more family time
• Avoided significant health care costs

We acknowledge that some patients are disappointed with their results. In fact, about 5 percent of patients decide not to complete their treatment plan.
