Site won't let you access more than 10 articles if you don't accept their cookies and tracking.This is a definite sign of an untrustworthy company, I was unsurprised to see they had a 2 star rating overall. Any articles on their site can be found elsewhere without the need to give over an ad profile to some random group that doesn't follow GDPR.
They're certainly breaching GDPR regulations and I'll be making a complaint to this effect.

Purchased an oximeter which arrived way past ETA. Once opened it did not work - due to dangerous wiring faults.Photo evidence was sent but Healthline insisted on its return but did not send the [promised] prepaid returns label. I sent it back, at my own expense, and have received no acknowledgement , nor refund. I suspect the veracity of this "company' and would urge others to shop elsewhere. Very poor.read more
Healthline Problem With Wheelchair
Reviewed on 2021-01-16T20:59:48
My wife has Parkinsons and at times has difficulty with balance. During those times she sometimes needs a wheelchair just to comfortably get around the house.Her neurologist wrote a prescription for a "HIGH STRENGTH LIGHT WEIGHT WHEELCHAIR." I took the prescription to the Healthline office located at 2887 W Pioneer Pkwy, Pantego, TX. They took the prescription and told me that I would get a call back. I never got a call back and I finally called them. This began a series of back and forth calls. Healthline claims they faxed the neurologist with a requirement for additional information. The neurologist claims they never got the faxes and was not aware that additional information was needed. Getting clear and helpful information from Healthline is difficult if not impossible. I finally gave up; got the prescription back; and started over with another company.read more
Disgusting, Personally biased, Shameful.

Healthline consistently uses abusive language like “sick” and “fat” and frequently miss uses terms like “addictive” and “addiction” in their “health” and “weight loss” articles.Their “experts” are severely slanted towards their own personal unhealthy food biases. They constantly demonize specific food groups. Their “experts” frequently contradict one another in their personally biased articles. Not balanced reporting. Entirely contradictory and false “science.” You can read on Healthline that experiences such as a Grandma baking cookies with a Grandchild likely sets people up for a lifetime of unhealthy emotional attachment to food. Heavily slanted towards extremely restrictive dieting. Heavily slanted towards severe calorie restriction. Healthline claims that if you see food as something to enjoy and embrace as part of celebrating life you are “addicted” and have “unhealthy emotional attachments” to food. “Experts” Frequently miss use the term “addiction” with absolutely no shame or consideration for the damage the miss use of such a term causes. Even more insulting? Healthline’s most biased and offensive “expert” also has the audacity to post articles about the destructiveness of disordered eating and body negativity. Disgusting, personally biased, abusive, shameful.read more

I ordered a contactless thermometer from this Company before I read the Reviews! I was very annoyedwith myself for being so stupid but I contacted their help team who assured me the thermometer would arrive soon. I didn't really believe it because of the many negative comments I had read. However the thermometer arrived today after about 6 days which, at this time of year, I think is perfectly acceptable. I am sorry for the people who sound to have been very unlucky but, on this occasion, I did not have a problem. My emails were answered quickly and very courteously. They couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you.read more
Wonderful surgery experience
Reviewed on 2020-12-13T21:32:50
I recently had surgery for a wrist fracture at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Cliics in Iowa City Iowa.Sounds strange to say, but it was a wonderful experience. My physician was Dr. Joseph Buckwalter.
As my husband expressed, "This guy makes you want to have surgery." Dr. Buckwalter's attitude, encouragement, and kindness was just like the video. I am so grateful that we drove 8 hours from Michigan to have the surgery at UIHC.
I was not sedated (only local anesthetics) so I heard all the communication between the colleagues. Dr. Buckwalter was so encouraging, kind, and complimentary to the people involved in my surgery. The staff expressed their joy at working with him. When I praised him and thanked him, he said "It is my team that did it." These people work in the Ambulatory Service Center of the UIHC.read more
