Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing. Dr. Fabbi and her staff came across as condescending and dismissive, which made the whole process feel demeaning rather than supportive. Since following her protocol, my health has significantly declined. My lab results are worse than before, my skin broke out in acne, I've lost at least 50% of my hair, and I'm now dealing with serious digestive issues resembling IBS. I've never felt sicker in my life. I truly regret going to this practice--both for the toll it's taken on my health and the money I spent. I wish I had never gone. read more

I luckily met Dr. Fabbi after a recommendation to her from a local chiropractor who heard my woes about my 2 year old experiencing 12 ear infections by the age of 2. That is 12 courses of medications. After just ONE visit to Dr. Fabbi, a simple food intolerance was unraveled and not a single ear infection has been experienced since that meeting almost 4 years ago. With careful attention to diet, energy levels and outbursts from my child, Dr. Fabbi was able to stabilize his gut, his diet and now his brain growth. The food intolerance tests were fascinating and scary at the same time. I can hear Dr. Fabbi in my ear now, "Mommy, you can do this. You have come so far, helped your son so much, now this next step will help resolve our current issue." She is supportive, focused and incredibly knowledgeable. I cannot thank her enough. As I saw my child repair, I fell into a bit of disrepair. Dr. Fabbi is intuitive and saw some potential stress in my demeanor. Again I can hear, "You do so much as a mom, you need to relax. You NEED to meditate. You need to take care of YOU." Meditation is still not my strong suit, but I know if I listen and learn from her, I will always be well. Dr. Fabbi worked hard with me to remedy my ailments for a good 8 months, continually asking me if I was feeling better. If I felt stronger where I was supposed to. And then, I was there. Thanks to a combination of massage, acupuncture, diet and supplements, I am back! I have recommended so many families with unique allergies, ailments and general health issues to Dr. Fabbi. She is able to remedy so many issues, and these families all thank her. I would not have come this far with my son and myself with my pediatricians. We would still be suffering and not looking to other reasons for our illnesses and allergies. Thank you, Dr. Fabbi! read more

I started seeing Dr. Fabbi at the recommendation of my midwife. I was so excited to become pregnant, but far less excited about my eczema going totally crazy just weeks after conceiving. After hearing my medical history, she told me that Dr. Fabbi could probably help me find the true cause of a variety of issues I have had throughout my life. The benefit of seeing a natural medicine doctor, as opposed to a mainstream doctor, is that the focus is on finding out WHY you are having symptoms, not just treating the symptoms. Dr. Fabbi has been really proactive about recommending tests for me and telling me 1) what those tests are for, 2) if my insurance will cover them, 3) what the results mean, and 4) what to do about the results. If you come to this practice, be prepared to take a long, hard look at your lifestyle. Be prepared to take blood and other tests. Be prepared to make changes, even if you do not like the results of that looking and testing. Dr. Fabbi, as a doctor of natural medicine, is not going to sugarcoat things and tell you she will write you a prescription so you don't have to stop shoveling fried crap into your face, guzzling Pepsi, and counting sugar as a food group. She was up front with me about how I am not doing my stomach any favors by chugging Coke, and if I want my reflux to improve, I need to stop drinking it. On the other hand, she also hasn't asked me to make very many drastic changes. Because I am pregnant, she hasn't advised major sudden changes to my diet or routine, but instead a series of smaller things I can do to make gradual positive change. Ok, I know what some people are thinking--aren't natural doctors just going to have patients sit in a drum circle and chant or something? Not at all! Dr. Fabbi works with a lab that does up-to-date testing AND she takes BCBS insurance. For my, um, lady exams, she uses the exact same instruments that I have seen at any other appointment (though she is kind enough to rub her hands together a few times to warm them before starting). You will get the same, if not better, medical care here than at a mainstream doctor. Case in point: I have had a variety of issues for many years, all of which I had been to specialists in hopes of resolving. None of them talked to each other, or to my regular doctor, so none of them ever put all the pieces together and thought to test me for a food allergy or sensitivity. I even asked about it once and was told by that doctor I didn't need it. Dr. Fabbi did this first thing, right away, and I can't believe that no other doctor ever thought to do this. She also put me on a B vitamin that dissolves under my tongue since many of the similar pills are huge and might make a pregnant lady gag and vomit--not something my regular doctor had considered for me. Bonus: she is a chiropractor, so she is super about recommending exercises and stretches for pregnant women (or others) with back pain. I felt amazing the day after my first adjustment from her, and I can feel that the stretches she advised are working in the intended area (though my back will probably not be "right" again until after I deliver this baby). Bottom line: if you can't deal with doctors being blunt and honest with you, this isn't a good practice for you to visit. If you DO want the straight dope on resolving or improving a chronic issue, try Fox Valley Natural Medicine. read more

I began seeing Dr. Fabbi approximately five years ago and she has remained my primary care provider ever since. Over five years, I have used her recommendations to beat a chronic thrush infection, prevent and treat colds and flus, and address chronic digestive issues. With diet changes and supplementation, our various discussions about wellness have transformed my health. Her recommendations have also aided in the improvement of my mental health. In combination with counseling, diet changes eliminated symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, adrenal fatigue, depression, and anxiety. Most importantly, Dr. Fabbi's protocols successfully treated PCOS and hormonal imbalances that contributed to infertility. The conception of my second child can be entirely attributed to the care that she provided to me. Overall, a visit with Dr. Fabbi is intense and satisfying. Visits are long. She listens closely and engages in dialogue. This is like no other doctor visit in which you feel rushed and unheard. She approaches health challenges with holistic treatments, largely centered on diet and nutrient supplementation. Supplements can be costly, but she has always been understanding of my need to pick and choose which are realistic for me to afford. Diet recommendations are daunting, as they center around organic, whole foods...this can feel impossible at times in a world of processed food. As in all things, I have chosen to take diet changes in moderation as my life circumstances allow. However, I absolutely feel in best health when following diet recommendations fully. I travel nearly an hour to visit Dr. Fabbi which is a testament to the value her care brings to my life. If you choose to meet with her, do know that you will be responsible for making lifestyle changes...this is not where you go to take a pill and move on. It is a place to explore your health and well-being with the goal of making lasting changes. read more

I am still grateful for the way Dr. Fabbi listened (at first) & literally changed my life. Since I was never heavy or "out-of-shape", I didn't understand the impact certain foods and stress could have on a person's health. Dr. Fabbi highly motivates change in bad eating habits and, because of this some serious health concerns improved drastically. For this I'll always be grateful. I believe she's a brilliant physician. However, as part of treatment Dr. Fabbi recommended several tests to aid her in her diagnosis. Ex) I paid her $1500 for food allergy testing, and was told a comprehensive stool analysis would be $1700-$2000. Dr. Fabbi was aware that I'd lost my job due to illness and prioritized the allergy testing over the stool analysis. Like anyone would, I believed that a doctor had to order the tests (just as they'd have to order an x-ray, bloodwork, etc.). I learned this isn't so when the health condition I was being treated for, (a condition she promised wouldn't reoccur if I followed her recommendations), reemerged. Dr. Fabbi blamed my "non-compliance" to treatment for this, stating that if I had purchased the recommended $1700 stool analysis, I'd likely avoided this poor fate. My husband & I felt pressure to make this work financially, and began researching the test on the internet. We quickly found that it isn't $1700 - $2000, but roughly $350 from a variety of providers or directly from the lab. I contacted Dr. Fabbi with this information and, after a few days of not responding, she called back stating that she had no idea this particular test was so affordable -- was "so glad I brought this to her attention", and that I should just order it direct and bring the results to her so that she could interpret them. This seemed ingenuine and sparked more research. The Immuno Bloodprint food allergy testing she provided for $1500 is roughly $650 from multiple providers across the internet, and is even offered on a main-stream coupon / discount site. This pattern of inflation followed with the rest of the tests. I wanted to make sense of this and try to continue treatment with Dr. Fabbi, but she refused to return my calls. She had her receptionist call to say I'd have to schedule an appointment to come in to discuss the billing issues, which I would be charged for. She then had her receptionist leave a message saying that the cost of her testing includes her review of results and treatment planning. This is a marked change in her "I didn't know the tests were so inexpensive" story. I support Dr. Fabbi being paid for the time it takes her to interpret the test. However... she opened the allergy test for the first time in front of me during an appointment my insurance (and my copay) paid for, read it with surprise in front of me, and the treatment plan was as simple as: don't eat these foods for a year. That, to me, isn't worth an additional $800+. Doctors I followed up with also expressed concern as to the high dosages of supplements I was on (per Dr. Fabbi): removing some of these improved side effects I was having. This has been so, so hard. I trusted Dr. Fabbi with serious illness and considered this such a valuable relationship in my life. I feel completely taken advantage of. I'm responsible for referring at least 4 others to her, at least two who paid her for the allergy testing. One of these friends has also reached out, asking to speak to her doctor (Dr. Anderson, Dr. Fabbi's partner) about this, and her calls aren't being returned, either. This is no way to treat patients. I find this all to be just awful. It haunts me, and has left me (and the others) in an unhealthy limbo, not sure where to get medical care anymore. So disappointing. read more

I brought my two year old son to Dr. Fabbi after seeing his regular pediatrician. The pediatrician pressured me into treating his "wheezing" with albuterol when they had no prior occurrences documented and had not even looked into the cause. They wanted him to see a Pulmonologist and an Allergist, and for him to have 3 nebulizer treatments per day. This seemed excessive especially since he may have only had seasonal allergies. I didn't feel this was right and could not keeping giving him the drugs either. I brought him to Dr. Fabbi who performed a thorough exam and listened to his lungs. She assured us she heard zero wheezing and recommended monthly adjustments and check ins to ensure no issues arise. I feel so much more confident in her approach to treatment without immediately pushing unnecessary RX on a toddler. My son loved his visit and keeps asking when his next adjustment will be! read more

AFter seeing several docs as to why I couldnt lose weight and was feeling like crap, I went and saw Dr. Fabbi. Basically, I found out that I am gluten and dairy intolerant!! I lost 40 lbs since changing my diet and have energy again.. I dont feel like a lethargic, depressed weasel anymore. Dr. Fabbi gave me my life back. Like another reviewer said, this doc doesnt mince words. Be prepared to hear the truth about your lifestyle. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Anderson and I couldn't be more pleased. I was looking for a holistic doctor to assist me in addressing some issues that my traditional doctors were unable to help with. Dr. Anderson was able to set me on a course of action to help me correct my issues. The process was not easy but the results have been amazing. Through some hard fought dietary changes I was able to alleviate all the discomfort that I had lived with for years. If you are not willing to take some ownership of your health and make the sometimes difficult choice to eliminate certain behaviors and/ or foods you will not see the results. The services here are not inexpensive. As others here have indicated you can find cheaper prices on the Internet. I would offer however that you can find a lot of things cheap on the Internet but you don't always get the quality you expect. For my health I will stick with a reputable practitioner and let others take advantage of the Internet "bargains". I have recommended both family members and friends who have all had similar positive results. read more

I completely agree with Elizabeth O. At fist, she was very friendly and helpful with food recommendations in my first visit. After my first appointment she was late for the rest. She tried talking me into spending $1500 on a food allergy test; when I asked her about what type she wanted to order because I was going to look into insurance she got defensive and didn't want to tell me, she finally said it really fast with no explanation. That made me suspicious, so I called my insurance. Turns out I was able to go to my primary doctor to have it done and it was covered! I know everyone's insurance is different, but I would encourage everyone to look around before ever spending that much on a blood test! She also was unprofessional in my opinion and did not have good patient care. It makes me very sad thinking about how she does business. read more
