This review is long time due . I had been battling stomach issues since a long time .All the gastroenterologists that I saw labelled it as irritable bowel syndrome with no solutions . Dr Nicole Mc Carter was amazing . She listens to you and finds the root cause of your problems . I had something called dysbiosis or imbalance of my gut bacteria . She always prescribed the right lab work and made sure everything is working well including diet modifications .I have been wanting to check in with her to keep up with my health , but have been busy . But just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for helping me out . read more

My experience with Dr. McCarter was dull as she put me in a bunch of medications/supplements for my lie bacteria diversity. This is when I saw her in 2017 and still my problem is not resolved. Then she moved one office to another and I received a mail saying it is $20 per email response she sends back if a patient has a question plus this is not covered by insurance! Dang! While she could be knowledgeable, I feel she should understand that giving a ton on medications via the link and charging for email responses us extremely not what a patient would see in a doc.. a good doc is the one who should lead patients off medications. I hope this feedback helps her. read more

Dr. McCarter is the most thoughtful and patient doctor I have ever worked with. It is so encouraging to have someone who truly listens and understands your health issues. She has been kind and understanding every time I've had a reaction to a particular remedy and helped me adjust my health plan. What a difference from the standard MDs I've seen who only spend 10 minutes with patients and dismissed many of my concerns that turned out to be serious health issues. Dr. McCarter has also been sensitive to my healthcare budget when recommending appointments and tests. Yes, it is an investment to receive care that isn't covered by standard insurance, but it has absolutely been the right choice. She has helped me get great value out of each visit and my visit package. She's also been available to answer simple questions via email. This is the kind of care you want when healing from an illness. She'll be my first choice of care provider as long as I'm in the Bay Area. read more

I have had extreme health issues for 20 years that revolved around my digestion. I've tried many doctors and tests and anything you can think of spending literally thousands of dollars over the years, I think I finally got to a point where I could function but never felt great. Then in 2012 I got another digestion problem, which I found out was SIBO (very hard to get rid of). This got to the point where I could only eat chicken and rice and butter. Not to mention over these years I gained 30+ pounds from all this. Then I met Dr. McCarter. My insurance didn't cover but I spent the money after a friend of mine went to see her and raved about her. She had me do a digestion test and then treated me with supplements and diet. Well, that was since August, 2018. It's March, 2019. I have lost 30 pounds and my stomach continues to get better. Not only the new digestion problem but the old one that I gave up on. My hair is so healthy and long (it's been growing like crazy) and I've lost so much weight, people who know me have been stopping me and asking what I'm doing. Even Dr. McCarter was shocked at how I looked when she saw me last. I'm in my 50's and feel like a new woman, with my 30 year old body! I love her!! Thank you Dr. McCarter, I'm your biggest fan!! read more

Wow! I had an appointment with Dr. Nicole and was amazed by her knowledge of my itching issues and natural remedies! I trust her completely and feel I'm on the right road to recovery! Other doctors from the past would just cover it up with big pharma creams. She got to the root and treated it there. Thank you Dr. McCarter and PIM! read more

I'm so so grateful for Dr. McCarter - she is incredibly patient, kind, empathetic, and knowledgable. I've sought her guidance for digestion and hormonal imbalance issues and anxiety. She has helped me navigate through them with ease and compassion. She has helped get my digestion and hormones back on track through healthier lifestyle choices and herbs. I typically get pretty anxious when it comes to health and visiting a doctor, but she has been incredibly helpful and thorough and doesn't leave you in the dark if you have any questions. If you're looking for a holistic approach to health, I highly recommend her! She's amazing! read more

I have struggled with digestive issues my entire life, so when I found Dr. McCarter on Yelp and read all of the positive reviews, I was very hopeful that she would be able to work with me on determining the cause of my issues and finding effective solutions to solve them. Although Dr. McCarter and her staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, my digestive issues became more severe under her care. My first appointment with Dr. McCarter was back in the summer of 2019, and my issues consisted of constipation, fatigue, cramping, bloating, irregular menstruation, and occasional acne. I was taking Miralax on a daily basis to alleviate my symptoms, but it did not help with everything. I wanted to find the root cause of the problems and find more natural remedies for them. I did several different tests and she found that I had "leaky gut syndrome". My food sensitivity results showed that I was sensitive to literally everything. Dr. McCarter advised me to eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, almonds, beef, oats, and pineapple from my diet. As you could imagine, that left me with very little variety and options in my diet. In addition, I was given prescriptions for multiple supplements including trifal, magnesium powder, flax oil, liquid iron, liquid vitamin D, GI revive powder, probiotic powder, omega 3 gummies, custom herbal liquid for hormone balance, and nystatin, which added up to approx. $300 a month, on top of the appointment fees and lab test fees. Absolutely none of this was covered by my private insurance, but I figured it would be worth it if it would solve my issues. My symptoms became much more severe, and I was in the worst physical pain I have ever dealt with in relation to my digestive issues. On several occasions my husband was prepared to take me to urgent care because of how miserable I felt. I developed insomnia and became very depressed and anxious as everything continued to worsen. I lost a significant amount of weight (went from approx. 107lbs to 92lbs) due to the elimination diet, which likely contributed to my menstrual issues and fatigue worsening. A few of the supplements also had the Prop 65 Reproductive Harm warning on them, which was concerning as I am 30 years old and at the family planning stage in my life. When the COVID pandemic became an issue in March 2020, I became very concerned about how much money I was spending, and several of the supplements I needed were backordered or delayed. I cancelled my appointments with Dr. McCarter and stopped using all the prescribed supplements, and my husband helped me with researching other remedies. I found a beverage for digestive health, gummies for menstruation, increased my consumption of water, added more calories to my diet, and started a light workout routine at home. I have saved so much money and I feel sooooo much better with the routines I have developed on my own. I no longer experience any of the symptoms I listed above, and I am able to eat all foods with very little to no issues. I'm glad to see so many positive reviews here from patients who were able to get the help they needed, so obviously everyone is different. Again, Dr. McCarter is very friendly, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable, but the plans and regimens that she had me on simply made me feel worse. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicole to get my health reset. Her evidence & data-driven approach to identifying the problems went above & beyond what any of my past doctors were willing to order to subscribe to. And the best thing? No drugs - just small dietary corrections and natural supplementation to get me fixed. read more

Dr. McCarter is a life saver. I highly recommend her if you're experiencing any digestive issues and your general doctor/gastro can't figure it out or labeled it "IBS". Instead of labeling and writing a prescription for antibiotics (which other doctors did), we addressed root causes with testing and lifestyle review and targeted supplements and I've been on the mend ever since. She is so kind and caring and doesn't give you any unnecessary steps or items to purchase, just patiently guides you and allows you to check in via email, which has been so generous. read more

I first saw Nicole in Brooklyn back in 2014 when I found out my body had a lack of progesterone. I was getting my period twice a month, and then my gyno found out I had uterine polyps (caused by lack of progesterone). I struggled with hormone imbalance since getting my period, and all the gynos, primary care doctors and even an endocrinologist said my hormones were fine. I just had to wait it out... wait until I saw Nicole! I talked to Nicole about my situation and history, and she immediately knew how to help me. She provided a regimen of supplements and information about hormones and the monthly cycle. Nicole gave me the help I needed and was looking for all these years. With her guidance I was able to regulate my period and improve my overall vibe (anxiety is another issue she's helped me with). Nicole and I Skype now (with her being in SF and me still in NYC), and I am very thankful for her support over the years. read more

Dr. Weigl has done what no other doctor has been able to. Between my seasonal allergies, increasing food allergies, and complete exhaustion for feeling exhausted, I came to Dr. Weigl after having given up on every other doctor I was seeing. Her knowledge of natural medicine and her down to earth, genuine compassion make her practice second to none. She took the time during our first meeting to explain the basics of a holistic approach to medicine, and finally turned the light on in the room that was my failing body. As a competitive athlete and yogi, I felt that I was battling my own body, but Dr. Weigl has made me feel whole again. We have been meeting for 4 months, and I feel every week that my stomach is heeling and getting stronger. I don't feel as exhausted anymore, and I look forward to our meetings and hearing what her next recommendations will be to get me to 100%. I carry Dr. Weigl's business cards with me in my wallet, and truly recommend her to anyone interested in increasing their health -- both body, and mind! read more

Dr McCarter is a wonderful and pleasant person to talk with. From the first day, she gave great attention to details about my skin problems and digestion problems. She ordered the right blood tests and stool test, gave the herbs that healed my digestion, hormonal imbalance, bacterial imbalances completely. I should mention this. Before taking her herbs, I used to have a lot of trouble before and during menstruation with my digestion. Also, spicy food sent my digestion to a toss. She also gave me the right product to target my acne immediately. I have been taking the herbs prescribed to me and my skin has drastically improved since going to her. Although it is still healing, I should say with any natural/herbal medicines, it takes time and patience Apart from giving medicines, she gave me a diet/nutrition advice to follow which is hollistically healing my body. read more

Dr. McCarter saved my skin after a 10 year battle with acne. I had tried everything under the sun to heal my troubled skin - various diets, eliminating certain foods, tedious lifestyle changes, every over the counter skincare product I could find, and various prescriptions and antibiotics - nothing worked. By the time I saw Dr. McCarter I was almost entirely out of hope. During my initial in-office visit she spent over an hour learning about my health history, lifestyle habits, and digging into possible root causes of my skin troubles. I left with a few initial herbal supplements and at home gut bacteria and hormone tests to complete. Once she received the test results, Dr. McCarter tailored my herbal supplements and dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and gave me a few recommendations for skincare products that I had never tried before. Fast forward 6 months, and to my complete shock, my skin was completely clear! I had spent 10 years trying to get help from my primary care doctors or dermatologists, only to be pushed towards medication that didn't solve the root cause of my skin problems. Dr. McCarter was able to identify and address a bacteria overgrowth in my gut and hormone imbalances that were causing my skin troubles when no other medical professional could. It has now been 1.5 years since I first saw Dr. McCarter and my skin is still perfectly clear and my old scars have almost entirely faded. I still follow many of the dietary, lifestyle, and skincare recommendations from Dr. McCarter, and she was able to help me wean off many supplements, only keeping a few for maintenance. I cannot thank Dr. McCarter enough for healing my skin and bringing me confidence and peace along the way. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with not only skin problems, but any chronic health issues that have not been solved my traditional doctors. This process is definitely an investment that I am so happy I made! Thank you Dr. McCarter!!! read more

I've been working with Nicole for a few years now and she has helped me to completely reverse my PCOS as well as helped support me in holistically healing my inflammation issues instead of going on steroids. She is very knowledgeable and empathetic--truly a pleasure to work with. I would and do recommend her to everyone! read more

I finally found Nicole McCarter when I was at the end of my wits. It had been four years of being a 'medical mystery' and being frighteningly close to financial demise after spending thousands and thousands of dollars seeing New York City's finest and most expensive physicians ( or so I thought), having countless blood tests and getting nowhere. I have never been so terrified in my life. Once you become really ill, and not one of the countless doctors you've seen can help you, you realize the thin line we walk between having a home and job and having nothing at all. Frankly, I was getting weaker and weaker and often felt like giving up. I wondered if I would ever get better, and I felt despair wondering what my future looked like. Would I have to apply for disability? Would I be able to work again? It was then then I happened upon Dr. McCarter's website and thought I'd give it a shot-- especially as it offered a free 15 minute consultation. I wrote her a brief description of the issues I was having and asked if she felt she could help. Once we spoke, I knew I was finally talking a someone who had a full grasp of my condition, was very patient in explaining it and fully aware of the sensitivities I have to most medications/supplements. It's been four months now, I'm slowly getting stronger after four years of hell, and the myriad issues I have that go along with my condition are improving. Nicole is a great listener, a tremendous support, always patient and extremely knowledgable. Whenever, a question has come up between visits, and I send her an email, her responses are prompt and helpful. I am so grateful and well as thankful that I finally found her and highly recommend her to anyone having medical issues not getting addressed by other doctors whose expertise is generally more narrow and limited. read more

Dr. McCarter is an amazing doctor who has the knowledge and confidence to be able to diagnose the cause of discomfort before putting her patient through unnecessary tests. I had a stomach problem for 3 months and she was able to diagnose my problem and describe me with natural based medication which worked out very good. I will be working with her on my nutrition plan to assure that I won't have the same problems again. I lost a healthy 20lb without getting more sick with her care and advice. She will make herself available via email anytime and she'll call you for any urgent matter. Definitely trust her and she deserves a 10 star rating read more

I came to see Nicole a little over 2 years ago to address some skin issues, specifically cystic acne. We figured out that my hormones were completely off balance, I had some stomach parasites and bad bacteria, and other nutritional deficiencies. Along with correcting my skin issues, we have worked together to correct all other imbalances in my body that I never would have known about if it weren't for Nicole testing the right things. My entire family now sees Nicole, and we couldn't live without her! read more

Dr. McCarter is truly a wonderful physician who listened to me more than any other person in the medical field has before. She found the route cause of my abdominal pain, which a previous GI doctor had just given me "band-aid" prescriptions for. She explained in detail everything that what was going on and the reasons behind her advice, which I hugely appreciated. Dr. McCarter is both intelligent and caring and I could not have asked for more. read more

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care Dr. McCarter provides. From my first visit well over a year ago to my most recent interactions with her, she goes over and beyond to listen, communicate effectively, provide outstanding guidance. Her devotion to patient care is tremendous, she is passionate about her patient. I spent many years going down a very difficult road with healthcare providers and she was very instrumental in providing me with a plan that worked. I will never look back at the care I was provided, I just look forward at the wonderful care I receive on each and every visit. I have been extremely fortunate to get outstanding treating in person or by phone. read more

I am incredibly fortunate to have met Dr. McCarter to treat my digestive and gut issues. I was at a very low point three months ago - barely able to eat and malnourished - and since then, my health has steadily improved under her care. I have been able increase the amount I eat, and am feeling stronger and healthier day by day. She is an extraordinarily kind, optimistic, thorough, compassionate person - rare qualities to come by in a physician. I am very grateful for her support, care, and encouragement. I always look forward to our visits. She is truly a gem! read more

I have have been searching for an alternative solution to my health care needs for awhile. I have found that and much more in Nicole. She's a great listener, cares, and has a wealth of knowledge. She's my go to for everything from the common cold to creating a weight loss regimen for my upcoming wedding. I can not recommend her enough!! And if you get a chance to join one of her workshops do it! It was super fun and I learned so much! read more

Dr. McCarter is a fantastic doctor, I cannot recommend her enough. She is very compassionate and easy to talk to. She always takes the time to listen, assess the symptoms properly, and work with you to find the right treatment. She never pushes you into taking something you are uncomfortable with or you can't afford, and fully explains what is causing your symptoms and how the treatment she recommends will help heal the body as a whole. After suffering from a mystery illness for many years that was draining my energy, Dr. Weigl is the first doctor to get me off of energy drinks and get my energy levels and sleep back to normal. If you're looking for a naturopath, she's the only doctor I wholeheartedly recommend! read more

After seeing numerous naturopathic doctors in the Bay Area for gastrointestinal/digestive issues, I thought that I would have to live with stomach issues for the rest of my life - that is until I met Nicole. With one of her specialties being in digestive health, she quickly got me on a plan that would ultimately lead me to have a very healthy and NORMAL stomach - without pushing unnecessary vitamins and supplements on me. Every step on my journey with her has been amazing. She is kind, knowledgeable, and truly wants to see her patients cured. I regularly see her for follow up consultations, and am now working with her on maintaining my gut health as well as balancing my hormones. I love working with Nicole and will continue to do so for many years to come. read more

After suffering for years I finally feel normal. The awful over the counter product I tried with the same ingredient used in antifreeze, that my MD suggested, didn't help me at all. Utterly frustrated I went to Dr. Weigl and I am now taking 3 natural supplements that Dr. Weigl recommended and ordered for me. Dr. Weigl even checked up to see how I was doing. She is really passionate about her profession. I am very pleased with her knowledge and caring manner. read more

Dr. Weigl has made such a positive impact on my life. I came to her for hormonal related health issues that no other doctor had been able to cure. After following her simple and easily accessible advice, I felt better and became a healthier person altogether. I was not even looking to lose weight, but that ended up being a bonus. Her caring and down to earth nature also made it a pleasure to work with her. She truly cares about making sure you have all of the tools needed for success. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Weigl's website and how easy it was to book an 'urgent' appt with her for the same day. I was a couple minutes late to my appt, but she was really nice about it and walked me over to her office right away. I immediately felt comfortable talking to Dr. Weigl. It was so nice to finally be able to talk to someone about my health issues and not feel rushed or like they are just trying to figure out the quickest fix/medication to prescribe you. Nicole asked me several questions and I really felt like she had a real understanding of my health issues before she got into what herbs/supplements I should take. She typed everything up and gave me a copy of any information I would need, including what my action plan would be. It's been 5 days since my appt and I have been feeling better than I have felt in over a year. I highly recommend seeing her, especially if you are tired of mainstream medicine and the nasty medications often prescribed to only cover up symptoms instead of getting to the root of the problem. read more

Dr. Weigl is amazing! She is super easy to talk to about anything and genuinely cares about your well being! I was having some hormonal imbalance in my life and she quickly helped me turn that around and now I feel amazing! Dr. Weigl helps me now with any little health issue I have and helps me figure out ways to prevent illness with daily vitamin regimen and nutritional advice. If you are looking for an awesome doctor, I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Weigl is a true professional. She took the time to get to know me and to get to the root of the problem rather than quickly diagnosing and prescribing- a problem I have a had with lots of other doctors. She genuinely cares for my well being as a person and works to treat all of my issues, rather than masking my symptoms. She is super intuitive and does not make irrational decisions, rather very thoughtful ones. I would definitely recommend Dr. Weigl to everyone. read more

Dr. Weigl is great. Her knowledge of natural medicine and her down to earth, empathetic approach really set her apart. I visited with her many times when she was based in New York and I'm so sad to see her go. If you're in the Bay Area, I'd highly recommend! read more
