Dr. Wardwell and his team stands out as one of the most brilliant, innovative, honest and effective…read moredoctors I have seen in my life. He was highly recommended to me by my acupuncturist who has seen him several times for therapies to heal long standing back and neck injuries. Dr. Wardell has an extremely impressive and well rounded background and education which enables him to understand underlying issues and causes in a way that most doctors do not. I have recommended him to so many people who have chronic illnesses and pain/injuries who are unable to get relief by traditional methods (cortisone injections, PT, surgery). Not only does he have a deep understanding of any medical issues I've asked him about, his approach is always focused on getting to the true cause and healing them vs a band-aid approach used by so many doctors. His treatments / approach are all quite reasonably priced and has helped people avoid major surgeries that would be much more costly and not actually fixing the underlying problem or condition. I feel that Dr. Wardwell has a strong sense of integrity and ethics and treats his patients with genuine respect, never pushing profit over the best interest is his patients. I have been trying to recover from a severe case of Bells Palsy 7 years ago which I was told by some of the top doctors in the field that I would never be able to heal from it, and the only options were Botox and invasive surgery in my face. I'm so thankful that I have found PRP (plasma rich protein injections, same used in "vampire facials") therapy with Dr. Wardwell which has already healed and improved my symptoms in 3-4 months post PRP therapy. My other doctor who has been treating me, who is the head of plastic surgery at Stanford, was amazed as the most recent progress and never heard of PRP being used to to treat Bells Palsy, which is quite sad. I'm getting the word out. If you are looking for a doctor who will truly get to the bottom of your condition and treat you with the utmost care and respect, I highly recommend Dr. Wardwell. Randy on his team is also very welcoming and accommodating whenever possible. Do not hesitate to schedule a consult if you're thinking about it! You won't regret it.

Dr. Murakami did not rush me, took the time to genuinely listen, explain treatment options, including some less conventional ones, and I left feeling like she understood how my chronic pain impacts me and genuinely is curious what's going on with my spine, muscles, bones, etc and wants to help. It's unfortunately rare to find a doctor that takes their time and listens to their patients and I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Murakami. She's clearly incredibly knowledgeable and enjoys sharing information, which I really appreciate.

Even though I arrived a skeptic, Dr. Woodrow quickly was able to identify the direct source of my physical trauma and help resolve it over the course of a few visits. She even went a step further and recommended other therapies that would be beneficial to my healing. I am astounded by the depth of her knowledge about holistically repairing the human body and her capabilities as an Osteopath. She is a consummate professional with both compassion for the people whom she treats and a passion for what she does. I am grateful to her for helping me feel whole again.

I did get some improvement from an anti-inflammatory diet, but what has really helped me get my life back (in only 4 sessions) is the treatment from Stephania - especially the deep tissue massage.

She is thoughtful, gentle, and highly skilled, creating a calm and comfortable environment during treatment, and her treatment is also very effective.

She offers practical suggestions that actually work, and she takes the time to look for the root cause rather than just treating symptoms. I had been dealing with an illness for 10 years that traditional Western medicine specialists had not been able to solve. Dr. Torrens was relentless in trying to figure it out and she did! I have not felt this good in years! What I appreciate most is that she understands there is a place for both functional medicine and traditional Western medicine. She usually recommends a functional, natural-first approach, but when she sees an issue that needs to be addressed more quickly, she is not afraid to integrate conventional medicine in the treatment plan. When she does so, she will include natural remedies to help with side effects and to support the body during treatment. In my experience, functional medicine can sometimes look at the body through a wider lens, including specialty testing and approaches that may reveal patterns not always captured by standard medical testing. Dr. Torrens brings all of that together with patience, intelligence, and persistence. There is room in everyone's medical care for both traditional Western medicine and functional medicine. When used together, they can be incredibly powerful. Dr. Torrens is an excellent example of that.

In one session she reduced my brain fog 75-80% when no other doctor or medicine could! Being on her table feels like being held in a safe, compassionate space where my nervous system regulates and my breath returns. She works with the whole body, intuitively knowing how each part is interconnected, affecting one another. Dr. Rochette is one of many practitioners I have seen for this challenging illness, and I choose to continue to see her over others because of her ability to continue to support my body as my needs shift and change. Her knowledge, expertise and understanding of the body feels like magic - but I know magic is only part of it - she is truly well trained and continuously learning how she can better support her clients. Two different people recommended her to me - one friend who had a crushed pelvis and another with whip lash. Both women sang her praises, as I am today. I am truly grateful for her and each of our sessions. Thank you so much for helping me heal Dr. Rochette!

I made an appointment with Dr. Rochette for an osteopathic evaluation of my right shoulder where I…read morehad experienced inflammation due to what I suspected was a chronic pinching of the supraspinatus tendon. I brought an MRI study for documentation. She gave me a very nice back massage. She did not touch affected shoulder area. She did not even glance at the MRI. She gave me (what sounded like) a very dismissive, standard palliative on breathing (to open my shoulder area) and sent me on my way to the receptionist who billed me $375. No manipulation. No evaluation or diagnosis. No directives or advice for exercises or stretching. My take was she did not want to take my case (probably because she had no idea how to approach it). Weeks later there is no change to my chronic pain despite my extra breathing. From my experience, it is the receptionist who seems to know the most about osteopathic practices in that office. In the past I have had good experience with osteopathic practitioners. Dr. Rochette does not belong in that league.
