If I could give zero stars, I would. This is my experience with this "provider." I had given my health history on the intake forms. Yea, I have had some health issues prior to my arrival at Sound Naturopathic Clinic, but I have been treated by a naturopath in my previous state for years, addressing all of those. The purpose for my visit was to establish care and treatment for my overall health as well as the one chronic condition that needs ongoing follow-ups. It's a thyroid condition, so I need thyroid prescriptions every three months. I barely had a chance to sit down when the provider pulls out my health history and says we have a lot to go over but we won't have time to get to it all. I explained that I have been treated for years by a naturopathic doctor so my prior "conditions" were not why I was there. I explained that I have an autoimmune disease that requires prescriptions and I was there mainly to establish care and be treated for that-- my CURRENT condition. The provider rudely cut me off and sniped that she was not going to be used. I was confused, so I asked her to explain what she was talking about. She repeated that she would not be used by me. I asked her in what way she felt me coming to her for care was me using her. She said she isn't going to be used for prescriptions. (Which is a pretty ridiculous attack on my character, and also, ridiculous to accuse someone of pill shopping THYROID medicine. I again explained that I was there to be monitored and had labs to show her as well. Again, she rudely accused me of using her for prescriptions. She wasn't making sense and at this point the vibes were so toxic I removed myself from this establishment. I wholeheartedly believe she was planning on charging me for a litany of tests and procedures that I don't need at this point, and likely have already had with my previous provider. This is not a place I would refer anyone to. read more

Dr.Urand is a miracle worker. I struggled with gastrointestinal issues for close to 20 years and in less than a year she has been able to help me resolve my issues through supplements, diet and allergy elimination treatments. I am finally able to eat what I want and not experience abdominal issues. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Urand. read more

"Dr. Ruth" is what she goes by. Ruth Urand, ND runs this family practice that heals your body holistically. There's a rich history at this place, too. That's nice. I've seen her seminars and have come away being enlightened and content. I'm sure you can learn from her too. :) read more

I have been seeing Dr Ruth at Sound Natropathic Clinic for over a year for allergy elimination treatments. I had been referred by many people as I went through fall and spring allergy seaons. This is the first year since 1994 that I have not used an inhaler , do not feel the allergies and can breathe without problems. I highly reccommend the clinic and treatments to those who suffer allergies and other things. read more

My family is so thankful to have found Dr. Ruth. When my son was 6 months old he had allergic reactions to many foods I ate while nursing (in the form of crying, upset tummy, rashes). Through the introduction of allergy elimination treatments (NAET) his rashes went away, and he was able to tolerate foods. All four of us have had successful outcomes with NAET treatments from Dr. Ruth. She also has been integral in empowering us with our family's health through homeopathy. Before seeing her we would get frustrated when going to a doctor, but after visits with her we always walked away with the ability to do something positive and proactive for our health. The combination of her compassion, wisdom, and ability to help people heal is a true gift. read more

I have seen Ruth for nearly 10 years now. Best health care and advice I have ever received. I have seen numerous dermatologists, sport medicine doctors, rheumatologists who could not, without harmful drugs, treat inflammation. Of course, with natural medicine we have a large part to play in our well-being but when the results are obvious, you won't want to see a doctor again. Not for chronic conditions anyway. read more

I was referred to Dr Urand for NAET. It has helped me so much with my allergies! I haven't been sick for over a year now. I used to get sick at least 4 times a year. I have no nasal drainage and my constant cough cleared up quickly. She is gentle and caring. Thanks Dr Urand! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ruth Urand since February and am so excited that she has helped me cure or relieve many problems that I have dealt with for too many years. At first i was skeptical about the expense and viability of natural health care. But every doctor I've been to over 30 years either has not had answers for me or has treated my problems with medication that never cured the problem and often had undesirable side effects. With Dr. Urands help, my cholesterol has lowered significantly, I am off most of my medications, my hip, legs & joint pain is practically non-existent, my energy level is increasing and I am finally losing weight. All with no side effects. I truly am amazed and wish that naturopathic medicine was incorporated more into our regular medical community, and that insurances would recognize that this as a viable option for everyone. We have become pawns of the drug companies and are paying the price by taking drugs that are neither healthy and in many cases are causing more problems. Dr. Urand and her staff are amazing! read more
