Testimonials

Dr. Dsouza is super at complex chronic illness!
She is super at complex chronic illness! I love that she starts with what she calls the “foundations of Health” I had been to multiple specialists who put me on a variety of different drugs—honestly, one drug for each complaint I had! But, the first appointment I integrated her foundations of health plan which was an individualized nutrition plan, daily stress reduction, exercise, and sleep optimization. I already had a 30% improvement! With no drugs! We’ve been doing more testing now and it looks like I have chronic infections and a parasite infection that are contributing to my daily brain fog and fatigue. She is magical.
Dr. Ranpuria is a joy
A very kind and holistic review of my life from birth to current day. Dr. Ranpuria is also a joy to work with! I have worked with Dr. Ranpuria and have found her to be incredibly thorough and professional. She got to the bottom of my GI problems and provided exceptional support as I worked with her. Dr. Ranpuria is also a joy to work with!

Thank you!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU. My other experiences with doctors at the beginning of my pregnancy were not pleasant. I felt super rushed. You are a breath of fresh air. You are personable, took your time, empathized with me, and just overall great. We need more doctors like you.

Dr. Lee listens to me!
Dr. Lee has helped me tremendously since I started seeing her. She reads my file before I see her, knows what the visit is for, and knows the information about me. She is knowledgeable and personable. I enjoy and feel comfortable talking to her. I feel she listens to me and provides feedback and assistance to help fix the underlying causes of my health-related problems.

I wish I found her 10 years ago!
Dr. Cooper is the most compassionate, understanding, and caring medical provider I have ever worked with. She was able to identify and treat medical ailments I had struggled with for over a decade in only 6 months. She helped to significantly improve my holistic health and dramatically improved my quality of life. Chronic pain and excessive weight gain were treated and reversed, I wish I had worked with her 10 years ago.
