I highly recommend Dr. Tediana Torrens at Peninsula Integrative Medicine in Palo Alto. Dr. Torrens…read moreis patient, thoughtful, and truly listens. She offers practical suggestions that actually work, and she takes the time to look for the root cause rather than just treating symptoms. I had been dealing with an illness for 10 years that traditional Western medicine specialists had not been able to solve. Dr. Torrens was relentless in trying to figure it out and she did! I have not felt this good in years! What I appreciate most is that she understands there is a place for both functional medicine and traditional Western medicine. She usually recommends a functional, natural-first approach, but when she sees an issue that needs to be addressed more quickly, she is not afraid to integrate conventional medicine in the treatment plan. When she does so, she will include natural remedies to help with side effects and to support the body during treatment. In my experience, functional medicine can sometimes look at the body through a wider lens, including specialty testing and approaches that may reveal patterns not always captured by standard medical testing. Dr. Torrens brings all of that together with patience, intelligence, and persistence. There is room in everyone's medical care for both traditional Western medicine and functional medicine. When used together, they can be incredibly powerful. Dr. Torrens is an excellent example of that.

After being very ill for a year and not seeing any results from my regular doctors I decided to try something else! My first consultation was epic. I was able to talk about my health and take my time. My first appointment was over an hour. Amazing! Of course there were things I didn't want to hear. But I was there to get back on track no matter what! My second appointment after doing my labs was eye opening. Dr. McCully was thorough and explained what each result meant. I left with knowledge and a game plan. I recently returned for a check in along with more lab results. This is what I expressed in my appointment: I have more energy, my bounce back ability is a recharge after 1/2 day (I suffer from many chronic conditions) I overall feel better and willing to do more! I found out I lost weight and that just shows her recommendations work (if you follow them!) I am a believer! I truly feel all the benefits from going to Dr. McCully. I feel she works hard to help her patients succeed!!!

I would recommend staying far away from this place. Dr Samia's approach to treatment is what I…read morewould consider predatory. I came to her in an extreme state of physical and emotional distress and after spending $500 on a consultation she gave me zero information on a path forward but instead told me I needed to spend $24,000 upfront to get better. When I explained that wasn't something I could do she began negotiating like a used car salesman asking what amount I felt I could pay and her offer was $12,000 but said that it wouldn't fully address my needs. She then kept insisting upon speaking with my husband herself to convince him it was okay to spend that money and when I didn't answer her call the next morning she sent an email containing testimonial videos saying "I would love to help you feel like yourself again - and know that if you choose to, we can do it:) " As if it's simply a choice to afford $24k in one lump sum upfront without any plan or idea of how it will actually help me? She also insisted I didn't need therapy and my husband and I shouldn't go to couples therapy because it doesn't work and she would serve as my therapist - she is not a trained psychologist and treating people with mental health conditions under the premise she can fill that need is crazy. I have been to many naturopathic doctors over the years and I left this experience feeling even more stress.

He's a great Second Opinion doctor resource and told me how to navigate a recent complex hospital procedure.

Dr. Cohen had me take a different medicication and throughout two weeks the pain slowly went away and it kept it away. So I could excercise and walk (with a walker at first) without the pain holding me back. I recently sent a friend to him who has long term Covid. Dr. Cohen understands these things.

It's deeply unethical. It seems we'll all have to look for another service provider.

This is an overdue review. I saw Dr. Raphael during the pandemic. She was my first naturopathic…read moredoctor and the first doctor I had seen completely virtually. She took detailed information and concerns of mine. She was able to put in bloodwork I needed to the lab but I was able to take her recommended lab work to have my doctor put it in so that some of the lab work would be covered by insurance. The lab work is much more extensive than the basic lab work your traditional doctor does for you. Her lab work was able to have her give you recommendations on supplements and diet. The lab work is an eye opener to seeing how unbalanced my body was. Just before having the vaccine, she instructed me on what tinctures to take prior to having the vaccine so that wouldn't have any or mild side effects. The first two vaccines I took the tinctures and I barely had any symptoms. When the booster came out and I completely forgot about taking the tinctures, I had a headache and was tired for two days. I won't forget to take this going forward now. If you're looking for a naturopathic doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy Raphael where ever you are located. She does a wonderful job working with patients virtually. Her attention to detail and her eagerness to want to resolve your health issues makes her a vital part of your wellbeing.

Dr. Kizzy has helped me obtain a quality of life I didn't think was possible. I had lost faith in…read moretraditional doctors, having been told countless times from more doctors than I can remember that "I'm fine". I'd been through Kaiser, PAMF, Sutter Health; nobody would listen and nobody would help. I felt so hopeless, defeated and truly sick. I was experiencing debilitating fatigue, excruciating pain in my tailbone, extreme nausea, issues with overactive bladder, blood in my stool, a swollen abdomen, weight that I couldn't lose no matter what I tried ...the list goes on. Every day was a struggle and every day I felt so unwell, and there was no explanation. The nausea has been affecting me for over 30 years. The final straw that pushed me to find help outside of what my insurance would cover, was testing positive for colon cancer at 46. I didn't really have the money to seek alternative care, but feeling like I was on the brink of death motivated me to reprioritize my life and figure it out. I found Dr. Kizzy out of sheer desperation. I chose her because of the reviews I read. I could write pages and pages about how wonderful she is, but to summarize, I feel amazing! I don't have colon cancer. I was completely misdiagnosed by Kaiser. They kept running the same tests over and over. They refused to deviate and expand the parameters of their testing even though I wasn't getting better. They told me my ailments were all in my head. Dr. Kizzy was able to determine I had SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), H.pylori (very common, from food poisoning) and that my adrenal gland function was extremely low. I've been a patient of Dr. Kizzy for a little over a year now and for the first time in my entire life, I'm ok. I will be forever grateful for her help! She actually listened and cared. · Debilitating Fatigue - Dr. Kizzy treated my adrenal gland function, and I have so much energy now! · Excruciating Tailbone Pain - It was from chronic stress, which led to pressure and muscle tension in my pelvic floor muscles. She recommended an amazing therapist (Taryn Weinkam, PhD) who helped me release the trauma I've been holding onto for so many years. My pain is gone! · Overactive Bladder - It was my body's response to being in a constant state of "fight or flight". The therapy helped with this as well, it's no longer an issue. · Extreme Nausea - It was from H.pylori. Nausea is one of the main symptoms. If Kaiser or Sutter had run a simple test, this could have been diagnosed decades ago. My nausea is completely gone. · Swollen Abdomen & Bloody Stool - Both of these were from SIBO and both are no longer present. · Excess Weight - SIBO contributed to this, but so did the feeling of hopelessness. I credit both Dr. Kizzy and therapy. Our bodies react to our mental state. I've dropped 30 lbs and fit back into clothes I never thought I'd be able to wear again. There is really something to that whole "mind, body, spirit" thing. I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy!
