I saw Michelle Gerber for many years at her old location in Silverlake. She is primarily a woman-focused practitioner and I chose her for that reason. She also saw my sister and my brother's wife during her pregnancy and birth of their child. I'm mainly writing a review of her quality of care of myself and my sister when she started seeing Michelle. I never found her treatment of my condition very helpful or well informed, although she considers herself a functional or naturopathic medicine practitioner. I was not helped by her articulate, seemingly super-competent but ultimately useless assessment of both my health and the treatments and supplements she prescribed; years later I found a much better option for myself and I think back to all the time that I felt both unseen and dismissed by her for personal reasons (or maybe she treats everyone like that?) but I didn't trust her because of it. She has the emotionless quality of someone on the spectrum. I thought her treatment of my sister was overpriced and totally absurd since it required excruciating treatment of a gynecological nature and I don't think she or most western doctors have a clue about how the human body actually works. In the end, her staff also didn't bother to inform us that her office had moved and we went to the old location and waited only to find out they weren't there. I didn't bother returning. She has a practice full of pregnant or looking to get pregnant women who think she's got her finger on the pulse of alternative medicine and protocols but to my view it is basically straight western medicine with a lady meting out the same punishments of women's bodies. Not a fan and don't recommend. read more

This review is overdue. I have been a patient of Dr. Gerber for almost 7 years. I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Gerber. She is truly a God-sent naturopathic doctor who transformed my menopausal journey. Before seeing her, I was struggling with fatigue, mood changes, joint aches, anxiety, weight shifts, sleep issues -- all the symptoms that make you feel disconnected from your own body. Dr. Gerber took the time to listen, to test, and to truly understand what my body needed. She placed me on bioidentical hormone therapy, personalized to me, and it has completely changed my life. My energy returned, my sleep improved, my mood stabilized, and for the first time in years, I feel like myself again. I owe so much of my well-being to her care. She is knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and deeply committed to her patients' health. If you're a woman navigating perimenopause or menopause and you're seeking real, sustainable relief -- Dr. Gerber is the doctor you want by your side. I am so grateful for her expertise and support. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Dr Gerber is amazing and very nice. I went to see her multiple time for women health and she is very gentle and professional. Very dedicated and also she takes the time to explain to you everything she is doing. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr Gerber is a wonderful doctor and she is very knowledgeable. Very nice and friendly office staff. Thank you so so much for all your help! Rubina read more

I started with Dr Gerber as one of my midwives at TLC midwifery and the care I received from her was so incredible we decided to continue using her office for care, both for our baby and for me (mom). She's a naturopath, but she's SO MUCH MORE. She is constantly learning and reviewing new research, making her an invaluable resource on overall health topics. She gives you all aspects of information, tells you her sources, and lets you make your own decision on care (the definition of informed consent!!!). She even understands the limits of natural remedies and can steer you towards the right allopathic ones when her professional opinion calls for it. She considers the overall health of the family, and takes a straightforward and kind approach. Her enthusiasm for her practice is infectious, I leave wanting to learn more! The office is beautiful and homey, and everyone at reception is kind too. Also this should go without saying in a practice of this kind, but she will give you as much time as you need at your appointments. read more

Michelle Gerber, ND - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have received exceptional care from Dr. Gerber for ten years now. She saw me through my pregnancy and delivered my baby. My whole family sees her for our naturopathic care. I would be lost without her. She has helped me navigate and care for every childhood illness my daughter has encountered. She has helped me navigate through my own illnesses with such care and concern. I feel so lucky to have her on my team. I truly would be lost without her. read more

Dr. Gerber is an absolute gem. An incredible naturopath who is one of the smartest doctors I've come across (and I've come across a lot). I've gone to her with several issues over the past bunch of years and her guidance has been perfect. read more

I first realized what a savant-level genius Dr Gerber is when she was my midwife. That's how I met her. I was so impressed with her expert care, I made her my pediatrician after the birth. Dr Gerber is a rare find. My daughter is now 4 years old and Dr Gerber has walked me through those nerve wracking first years as a new mom like a friend and trusted expert combined. What a gift she is!!!! read more

Michelle Gerber has been my primary care ND since she delivered my 2nd kiddo 14 years ago. She is kind, caring and has experience and knowledge that are immeasurable. I would recommend her without reservation! read more

I cannot recommend Dr.Gerber highly enough. She stays current on both Naturopathic and Allopathic care, on research, and has a knowledge base that blows me away. She has this wealth of knowledge and the 'bedside manner' to match. She takes time with her patients, she listens, and she will give you as much detailed information as you are interested in. I saw her for a number of years but ended up moving out of state. I've been in touch with her as I attempt to move back and she is as wonderful as ever. Honestly, I trust her more than any MD I've had, aside from my childhood Pediatrician. At almost 50 and with autoimmune disease, insulin resistance, and perimenopause I am SO thankful for all she offers. I can't afford to take advantage of all of it but that's because our medical system is broken and I would never blame her for that. Laws need to change so insurance will cover this level of care. This needed level of care. Wonderful doctor. Absolutely wonderful. read more

Dr Gerber has been my primary care physician since 2008. I feel so blessed to have found her after a prominent Beverly Hills OB/GYN told me that the only solution for relief from pain was a full hysterectomy. Dr Gerber listened patiently to me recount my experience with PCOS and Endometriosis and immediately helped me by prescribing herbs, helping me to identify nutritional and energetic culprits contributing to my dis-ease, and empowering me with positive encouragement and knowledge. All symptoms of PCOS and Endometriosis ended once I began implementing her suggestions. Over the years, I have found her to be the most exceptional physician I have ever known. While there are limits to her care because of California State Laws, there are seemingly no limits to her science-based knowledge and intuition, her compassion, or the very high quality of her care including all manner of diagnostics. In 2016, I was diagnosed (by my ENT) with a rare brain tumor called an Acoustic Neuroma. Dr Gerber helped to provide support and guidance on nutrition and herbs as I made my way through neurosurgery and recovery. She is, hands down, the smartest doctor I have ever met -- her passion for educating patients is something that is rare in today's medical world, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an holistic approach to wellness and health. read more

She is the greatest doctor you could imagine. I feel very lucky to be under the care of Dr. Gerber and am glad so many of my friends are now patients as well. She's a kind and brilliant human. read more

It's been almost a year of appointments with Dr. Gerber. I can honestly say that she is my personal savior. Years of not being able to be treated by medical doctors turned into years of self treatment that went no where. What I tried to cure for well over ten years, Dr. Gerber cured in two months. She is confident in her assessments which are always spot on. I have full confidence in her, and I trust her suggestions for my path to optimal health. She works with me and not against me, as I am a very anxiety ridden person. She is patient and knows just what to say to make me feel comfortable. I love that she is available all day by email. I can set-up appointments and ask follow-up questions and get a response within 1-2 hours!! She has an extremely open schedule too. Most all my appointments are on Saturdays. She has some evenings free too! She is a one-stop-shop for me actually! She takes care of my body aches as well as my yearly check-ups. She is a midwife as well, and also treats children! What can't Dr. Gerber do?! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gerber. I wish everyone in my life could experience how great she is!! read more

Without getting into any slander or libel, I was a patient of Dr Prudence Hall. I found Dr Gerber through a google search and read her reviews here. My yearly incredibly brief visits with Dr Hall (the final straw was when I was kept waiting for two hours) were producing worse and worse results. I've been seeing Dr Gerber since fall 2011 and I'm well on the road to feeling like myself again. She is beyond patient and methodical and you can get quick answers via email any time. I've been going for years and I highly, highly recommend! read more

I am so thankful for the care and attention that Dr. Gerber gave me. She takes time to fully analyze your background and symptoms, and she pays attention to detail. I am so glad I was able to treat my condition with a natural approach as opposed to harsh meds that can have long term consequences. I highly recommend her services. read more

Michelle is brilliant. A naturopath of genius level (seriously), a midwife, and with great interpersonal skills. My kids love her, and I do too. She is reasonable and responsive. I trust her insights and use her as our primary care. She will help you figure out which tests to order if you have "regular" insurance so they can be covered, and for those who need some financial help, she has a low cost clinic day, too. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a natural approach from someone kind and knowledgeable about current research. read more

Dr. Gerber is one of the kindest, most patient, and caring individuals you will ever meet. She will make you feel heard and will take the time to explain complex biological concepts. I was grateful that she ordered certain tests and suggested potential sources of disharmony in my body that an MD wouldn't dare to comment upon, let alone know anything about. I would encourage anyone to see her if they're not getting good results with their MD. However, I feel that she prescribed far too many supplements from the get-go. A sensitive body cannot always take that amount of supplements, no matter what quality they are. She seemed puzzled that I couldn't take the dosage and amount of supplements that were initially prescribed. I find this highly interesting, because everyone I know who has sought out the care of a Naturopath or other holistic practitioner has been very sensitive. Their bodies are hurting, stressed out, not functioning optimally. Supplements may not be the same as the awful chemicals found in pharmaceutical medications, but processing them still puts a strain on the body. Ultimately, the things she recommended didn't work for me. And as time went on, I felt that she suggested more and more things that could be "wrong" (not functioning optimally) with my body's processes that I began to feel more fearful than hopeful. I felt as though I was flawed somehow and if I didn't take X, Y, Z supplement, the problem would continue. She was always very gentle and wonderful about emailing. But her approach was not the right one for me. It goes without saying that one should never expect that the experiences of others will be anything like their own, either good or bad. read more

I LOVE DR. MICHELLE GERBER! FINALLY A DOCTOR WE ALL CAN TRUST! she is my personal savior to say the least! When 3 other doctors recommended surgery, Dr. Gerber was confident in her naturopathic treatment and encouraged me (with her immense knowledge and awesomeness in her field) to try her in-office treatment. I did and I am super healthy again and don't need surgery! YAY!!! Dr. Gerber is such an important doctor. Especially for women's health. She is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE and very SMART. Just listen to her talk. You'll be amazed. She is going to satisfy every single question you have about your health. First of all, she LISTENS....Unlike other Dr.'s who consider you as an opportunity to make more money, Dr. Gerber sees you as a human being....She takes her time with you and explains to you every single step you need to take. She is patient, loving, kind, funny, and super professional at the same time. I mean, she should be cloned! :) I was at her office again today and I kept wondering why isn't she invited to do a TED TALK or something!? Seriously....SHE IS AMAZING. So good to know that I can trust someone with my health. In this day and age, that's rare! THANK YOU DR. MICHELLE GERBER FOR BEING SO BRILLIANT AT WHAT YOU DO! read more

I have always been somewhat apprehensive of going to visit the doctor and I'm sure I'm not alone here. That being said, having to look for a new doctor in Los Angeles after moving from Orange County was quite nerve-racking. Luckily, I stumbled upon Dr. Gerber's review on Yelp and decided to give her a try. THANK YOU YELP! Dr. Gerber is a Naturopathic Physician at Balance Naturopathic Healthcare. She believes in the healing power of nature and chooses the most gentle effective therapies first. She is passionate about women's health and provides a very comfortable forum and environment to discuss and examine health concerns. I first met with Dr. Gerber for my annual physical exam. I was initially very nervous never having met her before but was instantly calmed by the soothing nature of her office. I felt like I was at a spa not a doctor's office! The rest of the experience wasn't half bad either. Dr. Gerber is patient, thorough, warm, friendly, intelligent, gentle and just plain wonderful! No question, I will be returning to Dr. Gerber in the future. read more

Dr. Gerber is thorough, helpful, caring. She is easy to reach when necessary!

Michelle Gerber has quite literally saved me multiple times when my western doctors missed things (or just couldn't help me). She is a brilliant naturopath and a wealth of knowledge. I'd particularly recommend her for women's health issues. read more

Loved meeting with Dr. Gerber! She was so knowledgeable and you can tell she truly enjoys helping people and is not all about the money. She even offers discounted visits for low income/no insurance which I think is incredible. I also loved that during our visit she recommended some herbs and told me about the brands she prefers but didn't push me to buy a single thing. She was so transparent with the costs of any testing recommended and told me in order of priority which ones I should do first, and what can wait until I have more money. I loved that! No pressure, just solid advice and genuine concern for the best for her patients. I wish I could give her 10 stars and I will certainly be back. Thanks Dr. Gerber! read more

I feel so fortunate that I live in LA, because I was able to utilize Dr. Gerber's service. It is so rare that one finds a doctor like her. Compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and just really a nice person. I hope her business will always thrive because she deserves it! read more

I've had two appointments with Dr. Gerber so far and I couldn't be happier with having found her. (So much that I almost don't want to post a review so that she never gets too busy) haha I've been searching for a Naturapath for a while now and finally feel like I don't have to go home and do my own research after I see a doctor. She's a gift. read more

Unfortunately I didn't have as positive final experience with Dr. Gerber. It ended up costing a lot of money since insurance didn't cover. There were a lot of gross tasting herbs and supplements that cost a fortune, were hard to maintain taking, and ultimately didn't help me. And fundamentally she was more alarmist, than holistic, in misdiagnosing hormone levels, and leading me down time consuming, and expensive paths, only to do diagnostic testing after the fact. She is otherwise, well meaning, smart, and personable, but fundamentally the care was a waste of time and money that delayed me in getting better care so my faith in naturopathic methods is shaken because of this experience. But I'm sure and know that others would benefit from her care, and the wisdom she can impart. read more

I just want to update .... I saw Dr. Gerber again this year to address some new issues. Again, she is amazing!!! I had a problem over the weekend, nothing serious, but I sent her an email and assumed she would respond next week when she got back into the office... but she responded within a few hours! on a SUNDAY! I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Gerber. She obviously really cares about her patients. read more

I found Michelle Gerber when I was searching for a Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in women's health (among other things). She has helped me change my life around and become a very healthy, balanced individual. I have been seeing her for 1 1/2 years now. We started off with getting my hormones and depression under control and my body healthy before attempting to become pregnant (I am a big planner). I became pregnant on my very first try! Now, after a wonderful pregnancy, my baby is due in 2 weeks! I feel so grateful that she came into my life and will be there with me as my new baby's life begins. I tell everyone how much I love her and wish she was part of my family!! She is professional, warm, extremely knowledgeable, calm, and I highly recommend her!! read more

I met with dr Gerber a couple years ago and thought she was great. Like others on line though, I have to echo that something about the receptionist feels unwelcoming on the phone today. She stays "polite" but I was put on hold three very long times and felt I was irritating her. I didn't end up making an appointment. read more

Yup. The real deal. Holistic approach. Solved my break-outs and fungus issues for good. She dives right in, no minute to spare.

I am so entirely grateful to have found a doctor who takes the time to investigate everything when dealing with my health. Dr. Gerber is truly the epitome of a "whole body" wellness doctor. Her intelligence is immediately apparent and her no-nonsense approach is wonderfully refreshing. I recently took my teenage daughter to Dr. Gerber and she had a great experience as well. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to Dr. Gerber for extraordinary and extremely thorough care that you will not find with the majority of traditional western doctors. read more

Love Dr. Michelle Gerber. She is the only naturopath pediatric doctor in LA and has been the most informational support system in my pregnancy and pre pregnancy journey. When providence women's health in Burbank refused to see me before 7 weeks and prescribe progesterone, Dr. Gerber saw me immediately, ran tests that showed my progesterone was low and prescribed me a natural form of progesterone which saved my pregnancy. I'm almost 32 weeks because of her. We just left her vaccination workshop that was extremely informative. She holds them every other month for 50$ per couple. I believe vaccines are the most important decision you will make for your child in the beginning of their life, this class was so worth it and gave me peace of mind. read more

Yes, all doctors are pretty smart, but this one has them beat by a long shot. Dr. Gerber is, in a word, "brilliant". She is incredibly tender and gentle with the little ones who visit, oh, if every child could receive this type of care! Not only is she wonderful with kids, she offers information to parents that FAR SURPASSES any consult I've ever had with any sort of doctor- ever. As a parent you leave her office thinking that you really do have the tools to keep your child optimally healthy. As a "grown up" patient of Dr. Gerber's? If you want a care provider who listens (really listens!), believes you (despite being told by every other doctor that there's "nothing wrong"), and then explains to you the steps toward healing along with scientific explanations that actually (gasp!) make sense, then you need to get your hiney into Dr. Gerber's office! Indeed, it is possible to leave a Dr's office feeling validates, heard, and encouraged! read more

Dr Gerber has been the most amazing doctor to me and my husband. I came to Dr Gerber because I was having health problems, including endometriosis, which I had previously had two major surgeries for. She is solely responsible for alleviating my symptoms and improving my overall health. I had been to doctors over and over who never gave me advice or ways I can prevent symptoms. She dug deep into my medical history and previous test results, and found that I had Hashimotos ( something that should have been found long ago but was overlooked). She then managed my medication and further testing, EVERYTHING over months and stabilized my thyroid completely. I am now pregnant with my first child and I'm totally convinced I couldn't have done it without her. She's smart, thorough, and listens carefully. She's practical and still holistic, and possesses a balanced perspective on eastern and western medicine. I trust her entirely and I hope I can consult with her for the rest of my life! read more

Dr. Gerber is a wonderful practitioner and was able to help me work through a chronic health problem that I had been dealing with for years but could not resolve. With her guidance, the condition is totally gone. She was also a great resource to me through my pregnancy - starting with preconception through tips for newborn care. Visits with her are just such a pleasure. Having the luxury to sit and talk with someone as knowledgeable as she is for an hour and to pick her brain for natural remedies not to mention book and vitamin recommendations is great. She is truly someone who practices in her own life what she preaches so I really trust her when she makes a recommendation. She's also incredibly responsive and will answer emails with little questions. I feel like I have a true friendship with my doctor and that is a great feeling. I highly recommend Dr. Gerber to anyone looking for a naturopathic doctor with a caring heart and a huge breadth of knowledge. She's the best I've come across in LA, and I've been to a couple but stopped looking for others once I found Dr. Gerber. read more
