She is…read morevery personable and carefully listened to my concerns, reviewed my imaging, and asked appropriate questions. We proceeded with a PRP injection, which I learned that there was actual homework/prep work for me to do BEFORE the treatment that the hip MD didn't even tell me about! Such things like stopping NSAIDs, drinking, fasting, etc. to help make the PRP injection more successful. I would not have known this if it weren't for Dr. Ferrante. The injection went smoothly and I experienced significant pain relief. I will return to do the other hip now that I know how successful it is. I know PRP injections are expensive, but definitely worth the price (insurance doesn't pay for them thru a MD anyways). She made me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can- these injections are sore) thru out the procedure, and increased my trust by providing me with a lot of information about what to expect before/during/after, and of course following up. Of note, when I came in for a hip follow up, she noticed I had a wrist brace on, and took initiative to inquire about this new injury and brainstormed a special taping to help offload/support the area (again, something that the orthopedic PA didn't think about) which also provided more stability/less pain for my wrist. She offered another treatment option for it if occupational therapy didn't help. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrante, she takes the time to listen, thinks outside the box, keeps you well-informed, and offers effective solutions to your health concerns.

I came in for a knee injury, and Dr. Jené Ferrante was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to really understand what was going on with my injury instead of rushing through the appointment or just treating symptoms. That alone made such a difference. I've already started to see improvement, which feels amazing, and I appreciate how she explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and empowered in my healing process. You can tell she truly cares about treating the whole person, not just the injury. The integrative approach they use really stands out, it feels modern but also supportive of your body's natural healing, which I personally value a lot. I highly recommend Hawaii Natural Medicine if you're looking for thoughtful, personalized care and real results.

For the peri-, within months, the night sweats and hot flashes were under control and my adrenals stabilized. In the 8 or so months since I began seeing her, I've asked her for help with low energy, back pain, insomnia, food sensitivities. Every time, she has offered me something that gets me back on track. In addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable, Dr. Alysa is an excellent and responsive listener. She is discerning in her approach, talks to me as an equal, and clearly explains why she suggests certain treatments over others. I also appreciate that she consults with colleagues, and enjoys keeping up to date on nutrition literature and trends. Perhaps in part why Dr. Alysa always has something new for me to try, often something I'd not considered. If you are looking for someone who is adept at handling complex health problems with great intelligence and ease- look no further!

She is so sweet and welcoming that right away you feel such a good vibe about everything. Dr. Chris explains every step of the way what is going. Get ready to receive tons of information :) I learned very interesting things about my nutrition like foods that I was eating and thinking I was super healthy and in the end I was actually poisoning myself. Some physical, emotional, and spiritual issues as well. She put me in the right track. Besides that, I also have taken her reiki 2 and Developing your inner knowing classes, both were phenomenal. I go back always when I have a chance. I see it as an investment in myself, my health. What could it be more important? If I am well, I can help more my family, friends, coworkers, and society in general. So in summary, every time you come out of Dr. Chris's clinic, you know you will feel amazing for a long time. It has been beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Dr. Chris!!!! Aloha and hope to see you soon :)

As someone on a fixed income; this MATTERS. Aloha original review: I was excited to see Dr. Lipat from her website, reviews etc. but was very disappointed when I actually saw her in person ...WHY? Because she says she is a chiropractor as well as energy healing, etc.--so I expected a more thorough evaluation and varied treatment. But after telling her I had a health challenge and was just coming off traditional treatment, wanting to get my energy back, and that my neck was out and hurting...she informed me she only does mainly 'energy healing' now. So, I lay down for her session, only to realize she was reading a form, doing vague muscle testing and going down a list I assume was for every patient. She checked what was good/not etc from that. She READ prepared affirmations then, for an hour? Then sprayed me with some Bach flower remedies. All I got out of this very $$$ (170.00) hour was a guided meditation I could have done at home. I gave her a hug and HOPED somehow she DID something. I love alternative medicine, am a retired surgeon who grew up in Hawaii and used Chinese Medicine al through College, Japanese magnets from Mom, herbs etc all my life--and energy healing too. I can FEEL energy healing and got ZERO from Dr. Lipat. So I waited 3 weeks, as she said it takes time to 'assimilate'. NOTHING. Dr. Lipat must educate herself more about my type health challenge as many of the items she said were good for me were NOT. High glycemic things, under cardiac/hormones she wrote 'hormones'--which means WHAT? Helping Foods? Many HIGH starches, glycemic foods that FEED my disease, Some of the BEST herbs were not checked at all, rec's high starches were recommended...etc etc etc. I feel, IMHO, that her personal do's and don't are imprinted to sway her testing because SO MANY of what she said were 'bad' are NOT for what I have. But common consensus says they are. (Ex: all nightshade veggies are bad) Whole grains 3/day? WTF? This FEEDS my disease! And what was good was not mentioned, what was BAD was recommended! I'm sorry--she seems like a VERY nice Human, but her treatment was a total waste for me; many of her recs would be dangerous for me, so I'll PASS here. Nothing personal; just NOT for me. At least I gave her a shot. I just was very disappointed from all the glowing reviews--she definitely has her 'fan club' on Yelp! aloha

She also listens to my concerns and lets me advocate for myself which is sadly not always the norm in healthcare. Her nurse and staff are also amazing. I would definitely recommend this place if you are interested in naturopathic care.

After the MDs who just said i was fatigued, gave me a series of 4 different antibiotics and told me there wasn't much else that could be done. My 2nd ND found I had Mononucleosis (for a 3rd time in 15 years) and Lyme, BUT Dr. Allison has been the first to ask why my body wasn't keeping these things in check. Since then we have been doing nutritional IVs, and supplements as well as specific herbs to target the infection. If you just want general health support or are fighting chronic illness, then you should at least get a consult with Dr. Allison. Her clinic is small, but very efficient and she costs half as much as my last ND for iv therapy! Thank you Dr. Allison for being awesome :)

I first…read morereached out at the end of 2024 when I was dealing with complex and overwhelming health challenges that were taking a serious toll on my daily life. I wanted a holistic approach--one that combined lifestyle changes, nutritional support, hormone therapy, and supplements. What I received was so much more than I expected. Dr. Williams took the time to understand the full picture. She listened with care and compassion, giving me space to share what I was experiencing, both physically and emotionally. What began as a search for answers around perimenopausal symptoms soon revealed deeper underlying conditions, including POTS and PCOS--things that had gone undiagnosed for far too long. Dr. Williams created a comprehensive, science-backed plan tailored to my specific needs, based on lab work, ongoing testing, and consistent monitoring. Appointments are thorough, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour, and every visit feels intentional and collaborative. Dr. Williams always makes sure I understand what's going on in my body and how each part of the treatment plan fits together. She doesn't reject Western medicine--in fact, she incorporates it thoughtfully when it supports overall healing. When I was prescribed anxiety medication, for example, she reviewed it carefully and helped me understand how it could help in my specific case. One of the things I appreciate most about this practice is the team-based approach. You're not just getting one doctor's perspective--you're benefiting from the expertise of the entire group. The providers consult with one another to make sure every aspect of your care is considered, which makes a huge difference. As with most naturopathic care, insurance doesn't typically cover upfront, but this office is extremely transparent about costs and offers a range of payment options. If your insurance allows for reimbursement, they even handle the claims submission for you--something I've found to be a massive help. The office environment is quiet, clean, and calming. The staff is welcoming and responsive, and parking is simple thanks to the attached structure (with validation included). They also use a secure app that makes managing test results, appointments, and communication incredibly easy. This is truly whole-person care--rooted in science, compassion, and a deep respect for the healing process. If you're ready to invest in your well-being and want a provider who will walk with you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Dr. Williams enough. This continues to be life-changing for me.
