I saw Dr. Marcus from 2014-2018 and Dr. Rebecca from 2019 until present. All other doctors I've gone to don't really take the time to listen to how you're feeling and are just so quick to push pharmaceutical drugs to mask symptoms. Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Marcus have been super awesome at trying to find out and heal the underlying issue causing symptoms. They know when to refer you to specialists if there are any other tests needed that are out of their scope of practice and act as a great partner in improving one's overall health and quality of life. They are both very personable and easy to talk to and are really the only doctors I trust to listen to me and provide guidance. read more

If you have digestive trouble and you have been to a GI had colonoscopy and endoscopy and been dragged around the traditional medicine system without getting any relief, this is the place to go. They are experts in SIBO, and many other GI issues. They typically use very effective herbal treatment but can also prescribe RX. Dr. Porrino is top notch. A great resource for Sonoma. read more

I absolutely love this place and the people that make it. I've been going here since I was 14 I believe and I'm 21 now. I have seen both Marcus and Rebecca over the years, both are excellent. I have chosen Rebecca as my primary care provider, and she's been amazing. She helped me get an endometriosis diagnosis after years of not knowing why I was in so much pain, and has helped me along that journey. I love that they really take seriously the whole mind and body together. I come here about once every 3 months, and honestly I look forward to it every time. I can't say that about many other "doctors". The receptionists are so kind and always make me feel like "part of the family". You just feel so cared for by everyone here. Their herbal supplement, tea, and tincture recommendations have been amazing too. I love their UTI loose leaf tea blend. Instead of going to a standard western medicine doctor and immediately being prescribed an anti-biotic that wipes out my system every time I have a UTI, I get this tea, and usually within a few days of drinking the tea as instructed, the infection is gone. With NO side effects. That's what I call health care! I would recommend The Porrinos to anyone. I would especially recommend Marcus if you have digestive problems, and Rebecca if you have reproductive health or hormone problems. They are truly stellar. read more

Both Porrino doctors LISTEN. Their calm and caring professionalism is very rare these days in the medical profession. Although I've moved out of the area, I still use them as primary doctors. Can't recommend them enough! They are excellent in their field. read more

I love this place. Dr. M and his staff are amazing. I am dealing with an autoimmune disease and Dr. Marcus is like a breath of fresh air. He answers my questions, encourages me and has offered amazing tools that has produced RESULTS! No drugs needed here people. He also sees my sweet baby girl and I can say that I trust this man over my Sutter doctor anyday of the week. They are the best! read more

They'll cure what ails ya. I go to Dr. Marcus Porrino. He's basically a modern day warlock. Cooks up some herbal concoctions that work. He's helped me heal from everything- blown eardrums to the flu. Forget all those pharmaceuticals and hook up with these docs. read more

After reading the glowing reviews on Yelp, I read the SNM website, and decided to give them a call to ask a couple of questions and schedule an appointment. I called, left a message; no return call within 24 hours. I called again and left a message. Another day went by and my call was finally returned. The person calling left a message for me; I was told the office was VERY busy and they weren't always able to return calls. My questions were answered and I was given some possible appt. dates. She concluded the call saying if I had additional questions to call, leave a message, and they would get back to me at their earliest CONVENIENCE. Not OPPORTUNITY, or as SOON AS POSSIBLE. At their CONVENIENCE. The doctors may be wonderful. I will never know. I was so turned off with the lack of customer service by my first point of contact to the office. read more

I am a Naturopathic Doctor myself and Dr. Rebecca Porrino is who I have chosen as my primary care provider. Her understanding of health and wellness is expansive. Under her guidance, I receive some of the best medical care of my life. Dr. Rebecca Porrino is caring, an empathetic listener and always spot on with the what I need to do next in order to reestablish and maintain my health. I see her monthly and she prescribes exactly the dietary adjustments I need, along with individualized herbal and homeopathic formulas. When necessary, she knows which are the most appropriate lab tests to order and how to interpret them from a holistic perspective. If you have ever wondered about what Naturopathic Medicine can offer you, do not hesitate to call Sonoma Naturopathic Medicine and set up an appointment with Dr. Porrino. read more

Dr. Marcus Porrino has been helping me with my adrenal problems for several months now, and his knowledge about what it takes for a body to heal itself is amazing! I had seen many other practitioners before but I never trusted any of them as much as I trust Dr. Marcus. He is sincerely caring and excellent at producing results! He is the greatest doctor I've seen! read more

I have been dealing with psoriasis my entire life, and it took one appointment with Dr. Marcus to nail down what the problem was. I had gone in for other issues and after an appointment, in which he listened to everything I said, he put together a plan. It's been about 4 months and many of my issues are starting to get resolved. No drugs, no ointments or cremes, just diet and supplements. I know I have a doctor who is guiding me on the right paths, and taking the time to listen. read more

Wonderful care in the true meaning of the word!! Dr. Marcus continually works with me as an individual with my particular needs. I love it that he actually listens to me and takes an incredible amount of time to try to come up with solutions to what ails me. He has actually kept me out of the ER and hospital as well as given me alternatives to standard medical practices and pharmaceuticals. So sorry for the two star review about customer service. I have seen one of the two receptionists/assistants work and am truly amazed at her ability to multi task. She has an incredible work load! They usually get back exceptionally quickly and always go the extra mile with answering questions, emails, calls. There is no comparison to the wait I've had to endure at the "standard" doctor office and the snarly military style fronts for the doctors I used to encounter. I could go on for days on how wonderful I think this place is! They continue to make my body and spirit healthy and I am exceptionally grateful. read more

Dr. Marcus and his staff are amazing! I have been struggling with chronic fatigue and digestive issues, bloating & pain. Come to find out that I have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) as well as parasite and a yeast infection. In my case, my severe condition required treatment from antibiotics which Dr. Marcus was able to prescribe. He and his staff helped me weed through all the insurance/drug company red tape and I was able to get my prescription at a reduced price. I am feeling better and all of it is due to Dr. Marcus and his staff-Tonya and Melinda! read more

It would be impossible to enumerate here the health issues both large and small that the Porrinos have helped resolve for me and my family. Everything from my daughter's severe motion sickness to my own auto-immune illness. (I had no idea--Dr. Marcus discerned this from our first visit, looking at the symptoms and also really listening to me, and confirmed it with blood work.) My debilitating symptoms are now, amazingly, almost completely resolved! Recent blood work showed no autoimmune activity (it had been very high)! My blood pressure is back down to normal. My inexplicable weight gain and bloating are resolved (dropped 15-20 lbs). My energy is back and I am walking and doing yoga. The protocol, which I continue to follow, was mainly an anti-inflammatory diet, supplements, an herbal tincture, as well as bio identical hormones to address menopausal sleep issues that contributed to the auto-immune illness. I am so grateful. By the way, I felt their optimism that I would get better definitely fed my own certainty that I would get well. read more
