This is the only place I can think of where doctors actually LOOK at what your results are instead of checking to make sure things are in the "normal" range. They are thorough, have a VERY complex and deep understanding of the human body and are so genuine. The providers here are well versed in auto immune issues and all "mystery" illnesses as they really do take the time to get to the bottom of your problems. read more

NatureMed/Kelly was recommended to me and I am very happy I made the appt! Kelly is awesome and very thorough, and the office makes it easy to be a patient. Nicole at the front desk is terrific! Can't recommend NartureMed more. read more

I took my son here to help him get healthy, since he has been feeling bad for a while. Dr. Steve took a lot of time with him and explained everything so that my son knew what was being done, why, and how he would be correcting imbalances. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. I felt that the entire experience was positive and gave my son confidence that he can start feeling better. We have been to several doctors and they only want to give my son antidepressants. The testing that is done by this doctor is very extensive so you can really know what your body needs and where the imbalances are. I highly recommend starting here since they have a full staff with different specialties, including an MD so they can prescribe meds when needed. Great atmosphere, nice staff and a fantastic naturopath! Thanks Dr. Steve for helping my son get better and feel confident about being healthy! read more

Truly amazing clinic with exceptional staff and doctors. Their approach is systematic and efficient. They genuinely care about your whole health. I wish I had been a patient here years ago. read more

I do NOT recommend Dr. McCowen for the HCG diet. After the office cancelled our first appointment and rescheduled a week later, and after charging $140. for a consultation, Dr. McCowen said she did NOT have the HCG, plus they were changing pharmacies and had no idea where or when they would be getting any, but that they would call us in a couple of weeks. I asked Dr. McCowen why she didn't tell us up front she had no HCG, Dr. McCowen knew we were coming in to start this diet at least a week in advance and the office could have called and told us not to come in, as they had NO product. Needless to say we were very disappointed and will not be returning for this service. read more

First of all, I will say that I have nothing negative to say about my consultation with Dr. Stephen Parcell. It's how the office is managed that has me ticked off. I recently had an initial consultation with Dr. Parcell. I completed the necessary paperwork prior to the office visit. I told them when I arrived I couldn't pay the entire amount for the visit that day and was given an office policy form to complete which I did. It stated that if the person can't pay at the initial visit, there will be a $10 charge on top of the full visit charge for the invoicing. I thought that was fair and had no problem with that. I was directed to Dr. Parcell's office and we began our initial discussion. Within 5 minutes into the discussion, the office manager knocked on the door. She asked if I could come with her and we went into an exam room and she wanted to know when I could pay and how much I could pay that day. I was astounded by this interruption with my discussion with the doctor. I have never been put in such an awkward position during a Dr's visit. I am a working professional and was simply trying to get to a better place with my medications for my heart/cholesterol issues. I have every intention of paying and was not made aware of the initial fee of $295 for the consultation. After this quite strange discussion with the office manager, I went back into the Dr.'s office and we continued to discuss my health issues and how best to stay healthy. The discussion was very comprehensive and I felt good about it. The Dr. suggested some supplements and we walked out to the front desk and he pulled the supplements and put them on the front office counter for me. After we shook hands and he left, the office manager again appears and takes the supplements off of the counter and proceeds to tell me that they couldn't sell them to me that day since I didn't pay for the entire appointment. I have never been so taken aback by such a process. It is amazing to me that the office manager is allowed to treat patients like this. I can only imagine how others have felt that may not have the personal confidence that I have. Simply appalling. What happened to caring for the patient? This is the strangest experience I have ever had at a Dr's office. I left feeling angry that I was treated this way and I hope that this post can help others in the future. I will also be writing a letter directly to the office. read more

Great place. Friendly staff and knowledgeable. I have worked with Preston, Alexis, and Nicole. All great.

I have multiple serious health problems that seemingly refuse to respond to western medicine. You can imagine how exhausted and nickle-and-dimed that means I was when I turned to alternative therapies. I wanted two things: a doctor that had experience in treating my conditions and one that would do what my other doctors wouldn't: look for the root of the problem. Suffice it to say I was really disappointed with my experience here. With no lab tests, just a discussion of past symptoms, I was sold about $300 worth of supplements, which I felt were sort of conveniently dosed to run out in 30 days. No significant improvement, and I did not go back for a follow up. Though it may be less important than the technical aspect itself, I was also really off-put by the office's attitude. I felt the doctor to be rather self-important and aloof. I can get that at my regular doctor's office, and my insurance pays for that visit! All in all, maybe ok for minor problems, but this is not the place to support major health concerns. read more

By far the worst experience I've ever had with a so called doctors office. I recently moved to Colorado and have been looking for a good hormone specialist similar to the one I saw previously. So I was very well aware that bioidentical hormone therapy can be quite costly. I came across NatureMed online and thought their holistic approach to medicine sounded like a good fit for me. So I called and spoke to the secretary who was very helpful and kind. I explained to her that I have a some what inconsistent schedule and there for the appointment I made might need to be rescheduled as it was 3 weeks away. She was very understanding and told me they would send an email the day before to confirm. Everything sounded great! She also told me that a missed appointment would result in 50% of the appointment fee. Again I completely understood because I'm a licensed aesthetician and I'm very familiar with scheduling and missed appointments. So I marked it in my calendar and made sure to be off that morning. 4 days before the missed appointment I received a call saying I was going to be charged for missing my appointment. I explained that I had been working and that we'd scheduled for the following Tuesday. She immediately said that she wasn't sure what caused the miscommunication but that I'd still be charged even though I also never received an email confirmation as promised. I was pretty annoyed that I was still being charged even though I was not at fault but as I stated before, I know how upsetting it can be to have a client not show up for an appointment. It's a missed opportunity, and so I apologized for inconveniencing the doctor and said I'd call back to reschedule. 20 minutes later I received email notification that I was being charged $160 dollars for the missed appointment. I couldn't actually believe that was the case because I'd never even met the doctor yet and the mishap wasn't my fault! I called back and asked to speak with the doctor. The secretary said she'd have her call me back. No call. So I called again the next day and still nothing. After two days the doctor finally called me back. I felt so relieved that I could explain the situation and hopefully reschedule. I apologized for inconveniencing her, explained I too took appointments and completely understood charging etc. and would just like to clear things up (I suggested crediting the charge to my account at the next appointment) and reschedule. Instead, she point blank called me a liar and told me she didn't want me coming to their clinic. I was dumbfounded! She whined repeatedly about how I "cost" her $300 and that she was severely overbooked as it was. She continued to talk down to me and treat me as though I didn't deserve to have the appointment to begin with and finally said she'd refund my money but she didn't want my business! All the while I was being professional and respectful. I just couldn't believe the level of disrespect in her tone and her words. I'm much, much younger than her and yet I did not give in to immature behavior the way she did. This woman is clearly not there for her patients but the dollar signs she sees when they walk through the door. In the end I feel glad I didn't give them a dime of my money because I prefer doctors who care for their patients. I surely would have spent much more than $300 with this "clinic" so by her terrible bed side manner she lost much more money than she stood to gain anyway. If you value being respected and cared for steer clear of NatureMed. read more

Nine months ago in June 2013 I was referred to Drs. Steve and Kelly Parcell of the NatureMed Clinic in Boulder, Colorado for my newly-discovered cardiovascular and diabetes conditions. My referral to Drs. Parcell resulted from a nation-wide search to locate and seek medical help for my conditions from top-notch medical practitioners who practice holistic medicine blended with traditional medicine when necessary. Dr. Steve's 2011 ground-breaking "Dare to Live: A Naturopathic Doctor's Complete Guide to the Prevention and Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease" (5 stars on Amazon) is a complete guide to a healthy heart. Several well respected professors and practitioners in Portland, Oregon advised that I would receive innovative and excellent medical treatment from the Parcells who have fine reputations among their peers in the holistic health community. These predictions proved to be accurate. Based upon my 24-month cardiovascular rehabilitation program created by the Parcells, markers for significant components of my cardiovascular and diabetic conditions verify substantial improvement in my health over the past nine months, and it is anticipated that the arc will bend further towards improved health over the next 15 months of my program. For example, the Parcells' cardiovascular program, with me being compliant, has resulted in a reduction in my blood pressure from 141/90 to 122/78, improving from pre-diabetic to normal in eight months. And my A1C marker for diabetes has been reduced from 7.0% to 6.3% (high risk to intermediate risk), and our goal is to reduce it to 5.0% (optimal risk). I also lost 27 lbs, and weigh the least I've weighted in 25 years. Drs. Steve and Kelly actually listen to their patients, attempt to find the underlying cause of disease, and use the least invasive measures first. Unlike 99% of medical practitioners, the Parcells spent whatever time is necessary with their patients to address their needs - hours rather than minutes. Their professional fees are reasonable, and they provide their patients with documentation which may allow them to seek reimbursement for their medical expenses from their insurance companies. Drs. Steve and Kelly Parcell, and their staff at the NatureMed Clinic are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable - rendering individualized treatment and care for their patients depending upon their specialized needs. People who are willing to take responsibility for their health by participating in treatment from naturopathic physicians such as Drs. Steve and Kelly Parcell, rather than from "statins, stents, and surgery" physicians, can have confidence that they are receiving the best medical care possible to achieve desired results.

I'm so grateful to have found NatureMed! My whole family works with Denise Clark who is very knowledgeable about gut issues, Lyme Disease and mold exposure. We appreciate her dedication to continue learning about new research and new treatments. What makes the clinic special is the dedication that the office staff has in helping their patients. For example, Nicole has been so kind by squeezing my daughter in for IVs when she's really struggling, despite the clinic's full schedule. She is super quick returning emails and phone messages too. Preston, who runs the IV clinic, has been amazing with the needles. He makes it as pleasant as possible. The heating pads, pillows and reclining chairs help too. Overall, our experience has been really positive! read more

I made an appointment via the website. I was really excited for the appointment, but when I showed up, was told that their online system isn't synced (don't know why they didn't remove it or manually check to call patients that booked this way) and they did not have an appointment for me. I could however book one two weeks out. I had arranged my schedule around this appointment and quite frankly don't have much confidence in a medical practice that offers online appointments that don't work (and they know they don't work!). read more

We have been working with Dr Clark to help my daughter with chronic Lyme disease. She is wonderful! Dr Clark knows so much about Lyme disease and she is so knowledgable about the supplements that will help. We LOVE the office staff. They are almost as important as seeing the Dr! They are kind and work with you to get in when you need to. Dr Clark has been a life saver. Literally! read more

Nature med has been fantastic to me. Kelly is very knowledgeable and I love the fact that she understands that we are going to not always follow the plan perfectly she will even give advice on the best way to cheat and do the minimum amount of harm to your health. Excellent with womens issues and thyroid issues. I have seen both Kelly and Steve .Steve is an expert when it comes to heart issues, I highly recommend nature med. read more

Dr. Kelly Parcell was watching the clock for my entire appointment, and gave me advice to go on the pill, and eat more soy products! Seriously? This was the exact same advice my western medicine Dr. gave me. I saved up, and payed out of pocket in hopes of getting to the root of my health issues, and all I got was just more advice to treat my symptoms. As far as telling me to eat more soy, it is toxic to the thyroid and contains anti-nutrients, and she was looking at my blood work that showed my thyroid was not functioning optimally. Plus, she told me to follow the Paleo Diet, and gave me a handout about what foods to eat on the diet. There was dairy and grains on the list! The foundation of the Paleo Diet is eating protein, vegetables, fruit, and NO Dairy or Grains! In addition, her front desk staff was rude and completely incompetent. They couldn't return my calls, find my test results, quote me correct prices, or follow through with anything I asked of them. I wish I could get my money back! Don't be fooled by their fancy website and spa like atmosphere. read more

I came to Nature Med through a connection of a family member four months ago. This was my first experience with a naturopathic doctor and, really, any "alternative" physician. After 13 years of asking my various PCP's for assistance with weight loss, and simply being told that I need to consume fewer calories than I take in (as if weight loss were a simple matter of self-control), I decided to seek help from a different type of venue. Thirty-five pounds of weight loss later, I can wholeheartedly endorse this clinic and their approach. Dr. Kelly is attentive, listens well and seems to be genuinely interested in producing good outcomes. Her marketing materials seem geared toward women and women's stuff, but I am just as comfortable with her and her knowledge base as I am with previous male physicians. I feel as though I have a partner on the path to wellness that is science-based but conversant with a broader sphere of healing arts. I am very happy to have stumbled across this group. read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Kelly who checked my blood iron levels and discovered I was very low. I didn't realize how much that was affecting my breathing. I had recently been experiencing anxiety in a group setting which was so unlike me. But little did I know that my iron was so low it was affecting the ability of my blood to oxygenate and when I was talking louder in large groups I couldn't get enough O2. Dr. Kelly discovered the low iron and suggested an iron IV to get the level up quickly. I ended up doing two IV's over a two week period and my iron levels went from 16 to 44. Immediately after the first IV I realized my breathing was no longer labored. I feel great! My energy has returned and I've had no more "anxiety" since. Thank you Dr. Kelly and the entire NatureMed Team! read more

Terrible experience. I do not recommend Dr.Purcell. Her lack of ability to respond to my concerns and her fear and denial when I brought up I was experiencing pain I'd never had before after her blood draw was astounding. I could never recommend her and only wish I didn't spend the $300 which I thought would be an investment for future reference in my health care. Stay away. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I saw Kelly for about 6 months. Over $2000 later, I didn't feel a bit of difference. Felt like she really didn't have a firm diagnosis and was grasping at straws, trying anything she could think of. Did not think she was a good listener and felt like she rushed me through some appointments when she was running late. Also was solicited for a donation to help pass legislation to license naturopaths in the state of CO (which I truly believe in). But I felt it was very unprofessional to use my email to ask for money. read more

The doctors and medical assistants here are very nice, competent, and caring. The problem is the front desk woman. Never have I seen someone so rude and unprofessional in a clinical setting like this! read more
