The doctors really focus on helping patients find a higher level of overall well being. I love that they treat the whole person. Their depth of knowledge and experience with all kinds of natural treatments has been tremendously helpful to me. For one thing, I am much lighter than I was when I started there, though that wasn't even my goal, or the focus of my treatment. With compassion, they helped me get my body in balance. Then the weight came off very easily and naturally. I also used to have quite a bit of low back pain, but not anymore. They took the time to look beneath the surface to find the root causes of my health issues, so I could stop struggling and really get well.

I was very relieved to meet someone that truly wanted to make sure I have the best possible journey on my path to recovery. I would highly recommend her.

I'm currently 22 and went in for what I thought was simple mold exposure and to my surprise she found so much more. She has found things that I have been living with for years and years that I thought was regular for every day people. From mold exposure to an auto immune disorder to viral infections and GI problems she's helping me through it all while also validating me (something I've never found in a doctor before). I am now on a beautiful journey, truly healing myself on the inside and I have never felt better. I will never be able to thank Dr. Paravicini for all she has done and how amazing the facility and staff is as well. 5 stars!!!

Gibran Ramos (ND, LAc) is a newer practitioner at NW Natural Medicine - and what an incredible…read moreaddition to the staff! Gibran is fantastic for two basic reasons. First, he has a really unique balance of warm, compassionate, yet smart and focused energy that he brings to every intake and treatment. This is so important to me - I want a doctor to be kind and giving, so I can feel safe. But, I also need to know that they have the smarts and the cutting edge thinking that will help get to the bottom of my sometimes weird symptoms. Gibran is a great example of this mix. Second, Gibran can do both Naturopathic and Chinese medicine focused treatments. Before I continue I want to offer full disclosure - I went to school with Gibran at NCNM. Why is this important? Well, all through school, Gibran really impressed me with his willingness and ability to really INTEGRATE the two types of medicine. I don't want to speak badly about other people who do both types of medicine, but Gibran really exemplifies what it means to bring these two traditions together in a way that serves patients. I really can't say enough about him... just go see for yourself!

The doctor here seems like he knows what he is doing, and seems to be a pretty good guy, but the office help sinks him. And I mean SINKS him. I appreciate that people make mistakes, and there have been several, in a short amount of time that I have gone here, that leads to my decision that they are not running a very good office. Mistakes on my lab work, multiple mistakes on my billing. If you have someone wh does not know how to properly bill someone, DON'T LET THEM DO IT!!!!! I am trying to be kind here, and not rip them apart, or roast them like I would REALLY want to do. It was so bad, and unbelieveably unprofessional, that the billing person called me to fix the mistake, AND THEN TURNED IT INTO AN EVEN BIGGER MISTAKE!!!!!!!! It actually made me laugh how incopmpetent she really was. I would have been completely embarassed if it was me, but not her! I am sure they are trying their best, but they have lost whatever confidence I have in that office. That, coupled with the feeling that he is trying to constantly sell me his brand of supplements (wanted me to take 11 pills a day) which with my life, and schedule is completely impossible. Part of being a "doctor" is understanding their life and making sure you treat them accordingly. I would never go back, and am trying to convince my wife to go somewhere else too.

Because I have a very long and complicated autoimmune health history, have seen many doctors, and…read moretried a multitude of therapies, when it came time for me to have to find a new practitioner, I was a little discouraged. There are not a lot of functional medicine doctors with extensive experience in my area. Dr. McCool was one of a very few who happened to be local to me, and I contacted her for a phone consultation. From the first moments of the call, I felt very comfortable. She listened patiently, was empathetic, and very personable. I felt an immediate rapport with her that I did not experience with the other practitioners I spoke with. She took me on as a patient and we have been working together for several months. I was motivated to write this review because it is not common to find many doctors these days who really take their time with you, listen, address all of your questions and concerns, make you feel valued as a patient, and express their commitment to helping restore your health. It is important to have that feel-good connection and trust with your provider, and sometimes it takes a bit of searching to find it. I am so thankful that I was led to Dr. McCool and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a very knowledgeable AND caring doctor.
