Dr. Francis an amazing naturopath who offers so much to her patients. She has helped me manage and improve my health in significant life changing ways in my late 20s and 40s. I am so grateful for being referred to her, as all I learned and was supported to incorporate into my diet and lifestyle has changed my life for the better. She does chiropractic, massage and acupuncture well. I highly recommend. read more

One of the best practitioners I have been with. She looks you in the eye, and knows exactly what you need at that moment. I leave feeling healthy, refreshed and thoroughly taken care of. All doctors should be this way...but thankfully we have Dr Francis. read more

SCORE! i am the first to write a review!!!!! to start off with i have been in 5 really bad car accidents, so my partner has been seeing her forever and has been pushing me to go see her for a while for a chiropractic and acupuncture session but i am well wicked cheap. i also thought acupuncture is just voodoo and not real medicine... so for my first start up visit i must admit was a bit pricey but it very was well worth it. She and i talked about my other medical problems then she did a little over an hour chiropractic and acupuncture session. i felt WONDERFUL, every time i go to see her now (about once a month) i feel fantastic for days and days and days, maybe acupuncture isn't voodoo read more

This is the first time I've EVER been excited about returning to a doctor! I'm counting down to my next visit to Dr. Francis (15 days). At the end of my first visit, I didn't want to leave. From the moment the elevator doors opened I felt like I'd stepped into a safe, spiritual haven. She walked through my medical and life history in a professional, non-judgmental way. I know this is her practice, but still, it made me feel special. I look forward to learning from and working with Dr. Francis as I continue this path towards wellness. read more

Dr. Francis is amazing. I leave feeling stronger and healthier every time I'm there. It's the way HEALTHcare should be. Thank you Dr. Francis!! read more

I have really been impressed with Dr. Francis' professionalism, caring personality, and demeanor. Her office is also really cool looking-- more like a spiritual sanctuary than a doctor's office. She has been invaluable in giving me advice on supplements and nutrition and diet. I am starting to make some really good progress with a long-standing 10+ years major clinical depression, and think she has some really great stuff to offer. Definitely check her out when the MD isn't quite enough... read more

Dr Francis is amazing. I've been going to her for over z10 years. She's helped me through previous health issues and helped me get pregnant naturally twice. When I am following her protocols I always feel healthy! Plus going to her office is always very relaxing and welcoming. She comes highly recommended from this patient! read more

My daughter was a true believer in Gabrielle's medical advice. Gabrielle told my daughter she had patients that did not take the one medication that could have kept my daughter cancer-free. My daughter believed Gabrielle over her physicians. My daughter died. read more

I have been a patient at Dr.G's practice for over 6 years and cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for this clinic. I love love the atmosphere and the healing that occurs in her office. I received more results-based prescriptions than at a "regular" doctor's office. Dr. G breaks down the important aspects of your health into digestible terms. Lab tests helped us identify the cause of my multiple symptoms and allowed for the proper vehicle for treatment. Anyone looking for true healing rather than Bandaids for symptoms, this is the sanctuary for you. read more

You won't be a patient to her, but a customer. This woman missed her calling as a merchant. My BIZARRE email communication with her sums it all up: FROM GABRIELLE FRANCIS: I overheard the conversation today that you had with my new patient. Do you walk around whole foods telling strangers that you will buy them foods from Trader Joes because it is cheaper? How insulting. Im sorry but I do not feel comfortable working with you or having you come to my office anymore. Please find another doctor to work with. You can call neuroscience at 888-342-7272. They can give you the number of another doctor that works with neuroscience testing. Im sorry. Best wishes for you and your family. Dr. Francis -------------------------------------- Dr. Gabrielle Francis 143 Grand St. 2nd Floor New York, New York 10013 phone 212.925.8772 fax 212.925.8773 www.theherbanalchemist.com www.drgabriellefrancis.com MY RESPONSE: Wow. Your patient was openly very concerned about being able to afford everything, and she was asking Heather about whether she could get things for cheaper elsewhere. At that point Heather looked at me, indicating she was interested in my opinion... and I told her $21 for flax seed was pricy, and that she could find it at Trader Joe's for $8. Heather then went on to suggest that she might find the Progreens at Rainbow for less. I am totally shocked at the email I just received from you. Floored. I cannot believe that you care so much more about your profit margin on products than you do about your patients! Unbelievable. You should read those books on your table sometime. They might teach you something about compassion or love. Good luck to you. read more

Dr. Francis has helped me through some of life's serious bulls**t. She made me see the evil ways of Advil and helped cure some intense neck, back, and shoulder pain. Thanks to her, I no longer want to be banished to a "menstrual hut" every time Aunt Flo comes to town. She's also pulled me through some pretty messy personal times. In short, an all-around holistic experience. read more

I made an appointment and then had to cancel. I cancelled 3 days before the appointment, well within their 48 hour cancellation policy. I checked with Diane, one of the workers who said that was fine and asked if I wanted to reschedule. I didn't so I assumed I would get my $450 back. Instead weeks later I noticed I was chArged $450. I kindly asked it be put back in my account to which Diane replied she would refund me $400 and keep $50 for the booking fee which I was never made aware of. When I asked for the $50 and told her no one told me of said fee, she said to speak with a store manager next week. I called, was ignored and finally got through to which she said she trusts her employees word over mine who supposedly told me about a booking fee and that I would not be getting it back. I asked to speak with the manager she said would be in that day and she said she was the manager. I asked for doctor Francis to explain the situation and she said "absolutely not". I've had lawyers emailing them and calling and they are ignoring all my calls and emails. It's upsetting because really, I could care less about the $50 (but really, who charges for making an appointment) but the fact I was treated so rude makes this situation much worse. Since then I've talked to people at work about this and they claim they've heard horrific stories about this place. People being misdiagnosed, being treated badly and oversold on supps they did not need. It's a shame they have to treat their customers this way. I guess in their case the customer is always wrong and should always be treated badly... *edit; since writing this review I've had 2 friends ask about my experience claiming they were thinking to go here. It's a shame they've lost $900 of business for a $50 fee... read more

This woman literally changed my life. She is a miracle worker! I went to see her with multiple issues about 5 years ago--stomach issues, female problems, stress, back pain, etc. I now am almost never sick, and only go to see her for chiropractic adjustments. She also helped a friend of mine through cancer and chemo, and he did not lose his hair! My sister has traveled to several developing countries and Gabrielle put her on a regimen in which she did not get sick. I have referred several people to her and she has only continued to do wonderful work. Plus, she's just a nice, caring, cool person. read more

I'm soo happy that I found Dr. Francis! After suffering from IBS for the past 5-10 years, and receiving no diagnoses that were treatable from traditional medical doctors, Dr. Francis was able to diagnose and treat me within just one visit of seeing her! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, warm and really cares about doing what's right for her patients. read more

By the time I had found Dr. G., I had been in a pretty bad state and had been seeing a load of other doctors who just wanted to give me medical bandaids instead of trying to work out what was really happening with my body. Dr. G. not only took the time to really listen to me but was able help build a roadmap towards getting healthy. I cannot even begin to express how significant my daily life is as a result. Her holistic approach to medicine is what sets her apart --That coupled with real respect for her patients. Dr. G. is truly a gifted physician and healer who draws from her vast experience and expertise to build comprehensive wellness plans that really work. read more

Dr. Francis saved my uterus, my menstrual life, and gave me the only shot at fertility I'll ever have. I highly recommend her services. BTW, she recommends high end supplements for her patients. And I'm glad. It's because quality matters. It is appropriate. It is not effective to use flax oil if it is rancid, and poor quality, and this is one reason why every holistic practitioner I've ever been too has had their preferred supplements for use, and their trusted brands that are not from Trader Joes. Rather than needing a 'deal', one can respect the medicine and info and suggestions offered. If a patient is not willing to use the tools suggested by the doctor, then it's actually appropriate to find a different doctor whose tools CAN be accessed by the patient. There will be a better match for both client and practitioner this way. She is offering a unique blend of several styles of healing and therapy that are hard to find in one practitioner in their fullest expression. Those who see her are fortunate to benefit from this by having the support that can help them shift deeply stuck health problems. read more

I am SO grateful to have found Dr Gabrielle Francis! Prior to finding her I had visits to not one or two, but three other licensed practitioners (forget about Kaiser), and all of them were unable to really figure out what was wrong, did the wrong tests or were just too confused out about what I had going on. One of them even said to me: "I just don't know what to do with you". :/ Uh, really? Well, Dr Francis did know and continues to follow through on her commitment for best care. She even began integrating the previously prescribed protocols so as not to have me spend more on what I already have been prescribe previously (bonus!). And I appreciate her mindfulness when prescribing supplements, she knows that visiting a practitioner out of pocket can add up. Her relaxing office sanctuary is exactly what allows you forget your troubles, I mean why else are you there to see her? Come in, take your shoes off, have a cup of tea and allow yourself time to unwind which I find is so important when one is not well. Her amazing staff of very knowledgeable and helpful women are there to support in every way possible and everyone always returns my call quickly. This is something I treasure. Dr Francis is a rare and precious gem offering chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and naturopathic medicine in one visit! Who else in the city does that? I feel I'm in great hands and on my way to wellness. read more

Dr. Francis is one of kind. She has 3 medical degrees; chiropractic, naturopath, and acupuncture. Her knowledge is unbelievable. Her medical advice, supplement recommendations, and hands on body work has increase my quality of life so much. Above everything else, Dr. Francis is a nurturing, wonderful woman. I have been a patient for years and I can attest she cares deeply for her patients. And she is funny, which is icing on the cake for a doctor's appointment. read more

2 stars (instead of 1) for office environment, email communication and overall demeanor. My problems began with severe gas and bloating after most foods that I'd eat. After seeing one GI Doctor I was discouraged by the lack of attention I was given and no results after blood work, stool samples, colonoscopy and endoscopy. Different diets (gluten free etc) didn't help so I figured it had to be a deeper problem and decided to try the naturopathic route. I began seeing Dr. Francis this past year for a total of 6 months. My first visit gave me hope. She was incredibly attentive, had great energy and really listened to what I had to say. She informed me that I most likely had Candida overgrowth but would need testing to confirm. Tests came back showing that there was candida in my stomach and I felt so happy to have an answer. 3 months went by on the candida diet along with multiple herbal supplements and detox shakes. No improvement. Further testing through Pharmasan labs indicated that I was depressed, had low thyroid, and extremely low progesterone levels. All of this could apparently be linked back to my gut and of course required more supplements. 3 more months went by of trying new supplements and waiting for improvement with no results. I thought back about how I had been hoping to find the root cause of my problem but had actually started taking 10+ different herbs and supplements to combat the symptoms. Dr. Francis was great about emailing me back and answering my questions but I was beginning to think I should take the advice of my friends and family who were urging me to get a second opinion. I guiltily decided that it was time to see an endocrinologist to check on my low thyroid. The endo doctor looked through my lab work and essentially told me it was all false. "Candida? Everyone has candida in their stomach so of COURSE it's going to show up in your stool sample. Low T3 (thyroid hormone)? I don't even test for T3 because it fluctuates throughout the day and isn't an accurate measurement." She told me that she'd check my thryoid with blood testing but that I should go see a GI again and get tested for SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth) which I immediately wrote off. I felt completely dejected and stupid and ended up crying in the office out of frustration. Regardless, I didn't completely give up on hope on Dr. Francis just yet. A few days later, my thyroid results were in and everything looked perfectly normal. Next I saw a new gynecologist who I told about the progesterone cream I had started using. She was confused about why an early 20 year old would need to use such a thing and said it was most likely just replicating the effects of birth control. Last on my list, which should have been first, was to see a GI doctor again. I told her about my symptoms and was told to first do a breath test to test for bacterial overgrowth. My results came back positive and I'm currently undergoing treatment for small intestine bacterial overgrowth. In short, I was told that I had a lot of problems which I don't have. I bought a lot of products I didn't need and wasted A LOT of money. I urge you to really do your research and be critical of naturopathy as a whole before taking her advice. Note that she uses a lab that also sells supplements. That she sells detox shakes through the same company and has also re-branded them under her own company/name. Look up naturopathy scams and keep them in mind when you're told that you have candida, parasites, chemical imbalances or need to detox with expensive shake regimens. It's easy to believe in something when it has such a huge following and tons of information online but do yourself a favor and read the flip side as well. read more

No stars if possible. This woman prescribed a DHEA "supplement" for me that caused a blood condition real doctors diagnosed as a kind of blood cancer. The condition turned out to be a mimic of the cancer and mostly, but not completely, reversible. The effect on my life ever since has been terrible and continues: I can't ever again take the hormone regimen I was on for years prior, and this has had a very deleterious effect -- and continues to do so. The cause was her ignorance and hubris to think she knows enough to prescribe powerful supplements without understanding the many forms they come in, and specifically which are damaging to women. To add insult to injury, I have been trying since 2011-12 to get this woman to stop sending me promotional emails. But today, in 2018, I got another message from her thanking me for my interest in her work. She can't even get it together to delete an email address from her lists even though I've unsubscribed and emailed her about it! Bottom line is the same: take her advice at your very own risk. read more

I find Dr. Francis very compassionate, approachable, caring and thorough in her work. She is skilled as a chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopath and massage therapist. I have been going to her for over a year and love how cared for I feel at her office. I recommend her highly and without reservations. read more

Dr. Francis is amazing. From the moment you walk in, it's a wonderful, warm experience. She takes ample time to understand exactly who and where you are, and she develops a strategy to help you get to where you need and want to be. I am so relieved to have been connected with her and to be able to start the next chapter of my wellness journey with her care. You cannot go wrong here. She is the real deal. read more

Surprisingly negative energy for a holistic healer. I trust her information and believe she has good intentions but she's not very friendly or warm. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. G highly enough! She is absolutely the BEST - well versed in both Eastern and Western medicine, she explains everything to you in graphic, easy-to-understand and scientific terms and is THOROUGH beyond belief. Never have I had such a careful examination. I have been complaining of migraines, hair loss, digestive issues and low energy levels for at least 4-5 years now and not a single doctor in the past was able to help me - either because they just didn't know what to do or because they didn't care enough! Dr. G wins on both counts. Since I've started seeing her, the frequency of my migraines has reduced to about 10% of what is was, my skin glows and I feel healthy overall. Seriously, I could go on and on... I just can't believe that anybody would find her commercial in the least! Bianca, whatever it is that you did/said to provoke that email, it's your loss!! Dr. G. you're a life saver! read more
