    Dr. Patel is kind, compassionate and oh so knowledgeable. She is an excellent naturopathic physician, and I am grateful for her care.

  • A. Reyes

    I just wanted to take the time to share my experience with Dr. Patel. To say that she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She is extremely caring and knowledgeable. I have never had a doctor care and listen to me like she did. She takes the time to look at all aspects of your life and really look into the root cause of your health issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of naturopathic services. She has been such a blessing and I look forward to healing and changing my lifestyle with her help.

They are working towards a better health system, they not only get their clients the results they desire - but go beyond that and create a future for those lucky enough to be clients. To say I am blessed by their knowledge and care is an understatement. Highly Recommend!

    This program is SO much more than just a diet. I learned a great deal about food, health, hormones, exercise, toxins and our bodies. I lost 15 lbs while eating whole, delicious foods and was NEVER hungry. My gut is healed and the detox has helped balance my hormones. This program has changed my life and is well worth the money, time and effort.
