I never noticed it before, but a girlfriend of mine told me that I just *had* to go here. And now you all are shaking with anticipation and asking "Why, why, WHY here, of all places?!" I shall tell you why. I've been chubby all my life. The chub turned into being plain old overweight. And it's not fun, you know. Three pregnancies later and I'm way heavier (I won't say how much!) than I was in college. I was looking for a fix. I needed to find a way to rid myself of the fluff. I tried the HCG diet for about a month. If you don't know what that is, then be a smart person and Google it. In that time, I had lost about 16 pounds. Yay, me. My uber sexy and cool girlfriend had also done the diet and told me I should have lost TWICE that much. Come to find out, the HCG I was taking was WEAK SAUCE! Yes, truly! It was filled with ADDITIVES and FILLERS and extra crap. She told me to go to Alternative Health and buy me the GOOD STUFF. So I did. Just the other day. The stuff I bought looks like it has some serious MANA. It's dark orange, not like the clear stuff I bought online. I am totally stoked and cannot wait to say "Hello!" to skinny. Skinny bitch, here I come.

She uses Standard Process (which I've always found good) and other cutting edge nutrients ( buy the liquid chlorophyll and put in your water -it really gives my energy a boost )along with gentle adjustments that have surprising results.

Her prices are reasonable for those of us working parents on a budget and her caring for her patients and 'TLC' is admirable. I have the greatest respect for this gifted naturopath. Brenda is a blessing to the aina!

I've been really curious about Chinese preventative medicine for a bit now and when my friend said…read morethat she was having some back pain, we decided to stop by Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture together. We did call ahead to make an appointment, but I believe that he may also do walk-ins. To start off, you fill out a form with your basic information and main concerns that you want to work on. Then, Dr. Au takes you into his office for a short consultation. He will ask you about what you listed on your form and ask questions to best pin-point your issues. He will also take your blood pressure and pulse. He can tell a lot about your body simply from taking your pulse. I'm really not a needle person so I was a bit anxious but it really wasn't painful. He even connected the needles to electiccurrent and it's a weird feeling at first but it ends up feeling like a deep tissue massage. Everything is clean and while it may not be a bougie spa vibe-- it's still very comfortable. I walked out drinking the Dr. Au kool-aid. I will be back and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

She took the time to do a great consultation, answered all of our questions patiently, and made the whole process comfortable. Her personality is fantastic -- friendly, calm, and very knowledgeable. Everything was also very reasonably priced, which made the experience even better. We scheduled treatment right after we landed so we wouldn't get dehydrated, and it was the perfect way to recover from travel and start the trip feeling great. Highly recommend Hydraloha and Syndee if you're looking for high-quality IV therapy.

From the moment I crossed the threshold of this so-called "establishment," I had a sinking feeling…read morein my gut--and not from hunger, but from dread. The ambiance? A peculiar blend of neglect and confusion. Dim lighting illuminated dust-covered decor, as if the place were designed by someone who'd only heard of restaurants through secondhand stories and fever dreams. The service--or what they called service--was an experience in itself, if your idea of service includes long, awkward silences and staff members who seemed genuinely bewildered by the concept of customers. I was greeted (eventually) with a look that said, "Why are you here?" A question I'd soon be asking myself repeatedly. The service was terrible. Slapping baby oil all over the place. I walked out

I like THIS nurse and THIS doctor. 5 stars. Now, his daughter in law and son have joined his practice recently. And just so you know, they both have backgrounds in western medicine and they're learning holistic medicine, which is trust me, a VERY different experience. They're fine but if you're looking for a holistic doctor, I'd recommend Dr Pritam Tapryal. This would be a 5 star review but it's hard when the western medicinal docs are in the room recommending western options and you constantly have to explain that's not what you want. It makes your whole experience kind of annoying. I prefer him only for now or at least until they've fully embraced holistic medicine. At this point they still recommend western options and that's not why I go to this office.

I went to Dr. Ferrante for a hip problem after my orthopedic hip doctor wasn't helping me. 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.
