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!

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.

There were barely any foods left I could eat anymore that would not cause me pain on top of having extreme bloating, cramping, nausea, constipation, heartburn, fatigue, and multiple other symptoms on top of my own stress and grief. Desperate for a solution when my regular doctor could not come up with any, I turned to Dr. Wong not knowing anything about how naturopathic medicine works. After seeing her on and off for the past year and a half, I am so grateful to no longer be reporting any of my original symptoms, and able to live my life again. While of course it is a more expensive route than just taking a simple pill along with much more dedication to your health, I am so glad that I decided to work with her. Not only does she genuinely care about your overall well-being, but also she comes up with an individualized plan based on multiple thorough tests based on your needs. I highly recommend working with Dr. Wong if you want to make a positive difference in your life and are able to financially commit to this type of work.

The office is very welcoming and comfortable. Dr. Enfield is now located just a few blocks away from her old location and a very modern and upscale building. I love the office. It is larger, nice reception area, and easy parking. Dr. Laura is amazing. I went to see her when I was unable to get any relief from my sciatic, joint pain and pain from bulging disc in my back. She introduced me to ozone therapy and after almost 2 years of pain I finally had some relief. My physical therapist was amazed at how quickly I was having a response to the treatment and how quickly my recovery was once I started the treatment. I love the office that I get one on one experience with Dr. Laura and I was always very well taken care of. When traditional medicine had completely failed me I am so grateful that I found Dr. Laura and was able to get relief from my pain after so long. She came highly recommended by my acupuncturist and I see why 10 out of 10.

I've had arthritis in my knee from a car accident that happened 26 years ago, and was managing chronic pain as result of it. Dr Laura had suggested Ozone-Therapy (or probably a more medical term for it), which seemed to really make sense. As my leg had discloated and the condyles had smashed each other, I was in a bone-on-bone connection. We've done a few of these procedures, and for the first time in 26 years I no longer have any pain in my knee. I've been doing a myriad of different modalities, including yoga, pilates, chiropractic, acupuncture and rolfing, and I believe that it's a whole practice of wellness. Even so, getting this ozone-therapy is a serious game changer. I'm no longer living in constant pain, which is increasing my energy levels and general joy in life. I'm so grateful that Dr. Enfield has options that solved some real life conflicts for me!!!
