I have struggled for years with numerous autoimmune issues. I have spent a fortune on doctors with no resolution.

I cannot say enough good things about Nikki. I worked with her long distance for an issue that many…read moreother providers had failed to identify appropriately. Her functional medicine approach allowed us to get to the roots of what was going on, and she discovered a hidden autoimmune condition.

As a former Olympic athlete and high-performance coach, I know the value of having a world-class…read moresupport team, and Julie is a powerful support and resource for me! I've turned to Julie many times for support with specific health and life goals. While I have my own extensive knowledge and experience in healing and nutrition, and even coach others in these areas as part of my business, I often look to Julie for her expertise; and in particular I value how meticulous and impeccable she is with her knowledge and research. In one instance, she helped me refine my strategy to boost my body's immune system to fight off a tooth abcess (infection) that the dentist wanted to drill (and kill) my tooth! As for another even bigger and more profound result, I hope it doesn't sound too fantastic to say that out of my healing sessions with Julie, I experienced nothing short of an emotional healing miracle. We released trapped pain, trauma, guilt and shame that I've been carrying and heavily impacted by for 17 years. Although the shift during and right after that session was significant, the biggest impact wasn't immediate. At the end of that session, Julie told me that the work we did will often achieve its fullest effect within a few days. I thought to myself "yeah, ok, I've heard this before..." But as if on cue, 4 days later I woke up with a sense of emotional freedom and peace I literally couldn't remember ever feeling before, and that I honestly didn't believe I would ever experience in this lifetime. And yet there it was--all that emotional junk just gone, dissolved. No big drama or cathartic release--like it just evaporated! It wasn't even just that I was skeptical--I'd tried so many things and it had been so long and difficult that I was resigned that the best I could do was just "live with it" and get better at coping with it. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised or elated!! Julie's various approaches are unique and powerful. Of all the extensive modalities that I've tried, I'm never experienced anything like working with her. In one of my sessions I was able to see the influences (root cause) for some of my beliefs and my mission for this life.  My challenges and yearnings finally made sense. I was able to clear away the mental clutter and move toward my higher purpose.   Our healing sessions have built on top of what we've done before providing compounding support for my life path and personal growth. Shortly after each session opportunities came up that supported my goals. She also has provided me with very tangible nutrition recommendations that have worked well to improve my energy level and overall health. She offered solutions that took into account my cooking skill level and lifestyle. Very implementable! I feel great, I'm achieving my goals, and I live much more intentional. I am truly grateful to have Julie as a support, resource and ally in my life. She is truly knowledgeable and gifted in many areas, and has a deeply caring and loving approach. If you are lucky enough to have a chance to work with Julie, I whole-heartedly encourage you to do so!!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Simonds and his entire team. I've been a…read morepatient for nearly five years now, and there's a reason I continue to fly back to North Carolina just to remain an active patient of record -- they're that exceptional. Dr. Simonds is the kind of provider everyone hopes to find: incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely funny, yet also deeply caring and attentive to his patients. His approach is never rushed or impersonal -- you can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about the people he helps. And Hannah, his PA, is an absolute gem. She is supportive, warm, and encouraging in every interaction. I genuinely look forward to our monthly phone appointments, and our in-person visits are always a highlight of my trip. She makes you feel heard, supported, and like you're in the best hands possible. The entire office has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It's rare to find a medical practice that consistently delivers such a positive and caring experience. I appreciate them more than they know -- and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a team that truly treats you like a person, not just a patient.

I've been going to Dr Simonds in Raleigh for a couple of years. I'd previously visited a few other…read moreweight loss centers, and as anyone who's had difficulties, it's not a simple solution to lose weight and you have to be open to a number of options. It's not a matter of "will power" as your body and brain develop a set point and won't let go. I had tried several more traditional options before seeking out Dr Simonds. He knew from my history that I'd probably have to move to drugs. First phentermine/phendramazine then compounded semaglutide. Your body can grow accustomed to the pills but I've lost 30 lbs so far on the senaglutide and kept it off for a year. I'd still like to lose 10 more pounds and then I'll most likely go on maintenance. I've seen a number of their practitioners and they're all good, but NP Michelle Stone is the best. She's a font of health-related knowledge, listens well, and is easy to communicate with. And she's willing to discuss your care with your other practitioners. Based on a previous review, if you don't want to consider the possibility of drug treatment, then Dr.Simonds may not be for you. But if you haven't had success and are open-minded, this clinic may give you the support you need.

I feel that if I tried to figure out what was wrong with any other doctor, they would have been slapping a bandaid on a wound that needed to be treated from within. He treats the "why" as opposed to simply trying to counteract the symptoms. His expertise is something rare. Since seeing Dr. Citron, my physical health has improved drastically. In addition, my mental health has skyrocketed. He knew how to treat underlying conditions that cause mental health concerns. The impact he and his team have so graciously and carefully made on my life is one of my greatest blessings. I could not be more thankful.

She saw the urgency in my case and agreed to see me right away at a temporary location while her new office was under construction. With her knowledge and experience in dealing with fertility issues, Dr. Dishman helped me to begin my journey to wellness. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant (further than I've ever been before) and I attribute my health & the health of the baby to the treatments I have received from Dr. Dishman. She is always very thorough, pays attention to every detail & provides helpful, encouraging advice always at the perfect moment. She obviously cares deeply for her patients & has gone above and beyond the call of duty on many occasions. I feel so fortunate to have found her & to receive such compassionate care.

Every time I brought up an issue I was having, the answer was always to add another supplement to my already huge arsenal. I actually think the amount of supplements I was taking was actually taxing my body and my digestive system further. I also didn't like that the first time I emailed her, I got a message back saying she might charge me to respond to that email and any future emails. I understand her time is limited, but possibly getting charged for emailing a question was a deterrent for me in asking questions and seems a bit unethical. My biggest complaint, however, was her demeanor. I found her attitude to be rude, condescending, and arrogant. Eye-rolling during an in person appointment once. The worst was the time I was having a phone consult with her and she went over this long list of treatments she wanted me to start, and at the end, I asked, just to make sure, if all of them were ok for me to take while breastfeeding. Apparently, she either forgot (even though we discussed it at my initial intake) or neglected to check her notes before writing her recommendations. She reacted by getting flustered first, then actually said to me, "Well I guess you could have stopped breastfeeding by now" as if that was an excuse! And it's not like she even asked if I was still nursing! If I hadn't asked, I might have paid for and started taking things unsafe for my baby. I was horrified. If I hadn't been so desperate for help, I would have definitely stopped seeing her right after that. Another time, she refused to give me lab results until I scheduled an appointment with her. She also asked me once to get lab tests that I had already paid for and done, and we had even emailed about it. Again, just not checking her notes in advance. I dreaded my appointments with her, she gave me anxiety to be around because of her aggressive nature, and I got the feeling she was mostly concerned with making money and not taking care of her patients. I never got the impression she really cared. No bedside manner whatsoever. She has since moved out of Raleigh to join another practice and the only communication about the move was via several long, convoluted, poorly written emails. I was surprised at the level and style of communication from someone who has so many advanced degrees. She never mentioned the move to me in person. I just thought it was odd. It came across like she couldn't wait to get out of NC. I'm so glad I made the decision to stop seeing her and wasting my time and money. I have had much better, long-lasting, less expensive success with acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
