I had terrible Long COVID symptoms and Dr. Steelsmith is the only doctor over my 18 month ride who…read morehad the belief and treatments that helped soothe my symptoms. I began working with her at my worst, and she made it a point to attend Long COVID conferences to stay up to speed on the condition and offered many treatment options. She's kind, curious, and always has an idea up her sleeve. Compare that to Kaiser and other doctors who ran a few blood tests, declared nothing was wrong with me, and then sent me home. Dr. Steelsmith helped me look at my illness through the lens of food inflammation tests and adrenal exams, which helped me better understand my condition and how to manage it. She is 5 stars INCREDIBLE and though she wasn't covered fully by my insurance, they did do 25% coverage. She is totally worth it. And her staff are kind and responsive as well. Shout out to Pam, their nurse, who helped relax me during glutathione treatments (which is saying a lot since I dislike needles). I love this office so much. I'm in such a better place that I don't need to go in, but I do miss the people who were there to support me through such a rough time. Thank you!

I was looking for someone to help me get through menopause naturally…read more A pharmacist recommended Laurie Steelsmith. Not only did she help me with the right hormones, but she helped with chronic pain and fatigue I've had for decades. When I caught Covid, she had the right recommendations to get me through the illness and prevent long COVID. I trust her to keep me healthy. She and my primary care doctor respect each other, so that my health is coordinated between the two. It's hard to find someone like Laurie Steelsmith. I'm glad she's here in Honolulu.

For the peri-, within months, the night sweats and hot flashes were under control and my adrenals stabilized. In the 8 or so months since I began seeing her, I've asked her for help with low energy, back pain, insomnia, food sensitivities. Every time, she has offered me something that gets me back on track. In addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable, Dr. Alysa is an excellent and responsive listener. She is discerning in her approach, talks to me as an equal, and clearly explains why she suggests certain treatments over others. I also appreciate that she consults with colleagues, and enjoys keeping up to date on nutrition literature and trends. Perhaps in part why Dr. Alysa always has something new for me to try, often something I'd not considered. If you are looking for someone who is adept at handling complex health problems with great intelligence and ease- look no further!

I can't recommend Dr. Kristine Williams at Kathryn Taketa-Wong & Associates highly enough. I first…read morereached out at the end of 2024 when I was dealing with complex and overwhelming health challenges that were taking a serious toll on my daily life. I wanted a holistic approach--one that combined lifestyle changes, nutritional support, hormone therapy, and supplements. What I received was so much more than I expected. Dr. Williams took the time to understand the full picture. She listened with care and compassion, giving me space to share what I was experiencing, both physically and emotionally. What began as a search for answers around perimenopausal symptoms soon revealed deeper underlying conditions, including POTS and PCOS--things that had gone undiagnosed for far too long. Dr. Williams created a comprehensive, science-backed plan tailored to my specific needs, based on lab work, ongoing testing, and consistent monitoring. Appointments are thorough, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour, and every visit feels intentional and collaborative. Dr. Williams always makes sure I understand what's going on in my body and how each part of the treatment plan fits together. She doesn't reject Western medicine--in fact, she incorporates it thoughtfully when it supports overall healing. When I was prescribed anxiety medication, for example, she reviewed it carefully and helped me understand how it could help in my specific case. One of the things I appreciate most about this practice is the team-based approach. You're not just getting one doctor's perspective--you're benefiting from the expertise of the entire group. The providers consult with one another to make sure every aspect of your care is considered, which makes a huge difference. As with most naturopathic care, insurance doesn't typically cover upfront, but this office is extremely transparent about costs and offers a range of payment options. If your insurance allows for reimbursement, they even handle the claims submission for you--something I've found to be a massive help. The office environment is quiet, clean, and calming. The staff is welcoming and responsive, and parking is simple thanks to the attached structure (with validation included). They also use a secure app that makes managing test results, appointments, and communication incredibly easy. This is truly whole-person care--rooted in science, compassion, and a deep respect for the healing process. If you're ready to invest in your well-being and want a provider who will walk with you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Dr. Williams enough. This continues to be life-changing for me.

I have been Dr Tan's patient for over a year now. She is not only my natural path doctor but also a…read moregood listener of my holistic issues. As we know, natural path doctors are not only there to treat problem but also they help you prevent illness by helping you to keep healthy. Your body may present certain issues or not, but the holistic health is also important. For many years my platelets are below the norm and regular doctors do not want to address because they don't see "problem" so I should live with it. With Dr Tan's help, I'm slowing raising the platelets and hopefully will to the normal range soon. Since natural path is non-participating providers, we have to pay out of pocket and the price is not cheap. This is just the reality of health care of America- insurance not covered then you pay $$$. For a good doctor and my own health, I think it's worth to pay the price.

I would advise seeking a different holistic doctor if I were you. Dr. Tan's lack of professionalism…read moreleft me unsettled and frustrated, and after my own experience I found myself on Yelp to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and sure enough- the 1 star reviews were very accurate to what I went through. The initial consultation appointments with a holistic doctor is pricey. $350 +tax. But I was desperate to find the root of my eczema and health concerns, so I decided to invest in her. The consultation went well and I would say I was happy with our meeting. At the end of the visit, she scheduled 3 appointments for further treatments to help speed up my skin's healing with LED. Upon budgeting my finances, I decided to cancel the LED treatments as I wouldn't be able to afford to be consistent with them 2x a week. I can deal with the external eczema, and just wanted to focus on healing internally to resolve the issue as she has explained is the way to truly heal eczema. Dr. Tan responded to my text passive aggressively, and shut me down completely and to "lmk when you're ready to solve your skin issues. Aloha." I was not looking to quit the path to healing, I simply wanted to just cancel the external treatments as it's not a necessity. She disregarded my questions when I would ask if they were absolutely necessary, and still would not give me an answer. She would just explain what it does. I told her it simply wasn't in my budget, to which she responds "ok. Do whatever your budget allows." She became very short with her answers as I try to understand what is necessary and what's not for my healing process. Things like this makes a patient feel like you're just after their money. A true professional would work with you and tell you what is necessary and possible within your budget. I feel robbed of my time and money invested in that appointment. She's lost a client and I will be looking for a new doctor with a little more professionalism.

Her office is not the typical doctor's office which I love. I'm over the waiting rooms and being passed off to multiple people before getting to see the doctor. With Dr. Elizabeth you get to the source right away. I also chose her for my Laser Lipo because she has the latest technology. I did my research and the older technology burns more and possibly even leaves bruises. So let me just share with you what i experienced. It wasn't very sore, but it does test your comfort levels. It was very fast, the treatment time was 25 minutes long. Love that. Side Effects? Nothing major.. after day 1 feels like a minor sunburn on the area that the laser was applied. That feeling lasted for about a day or so. I definitely feel that it is WORKING. Still really early but I'll try to remember to post an update after the 6 and 12 week mark Being an FDA approved procedure meant a lot to me because i didn't want to be the guinea pig for any untested stuff. Means a lot to me that i can have easy access to her if i did have any post procedure questions... Cause after all... I did have a laser purposely destroy cells on the inside of my body.. lol. It's nice i can reach out should i need to. Thanks Dr Elizabeth for making the process quick (I know i can be impatient and I usually want things now) and for the most part.... Painless. Super excited!

I enjoyed my session soooo much, it was like having a soothing dance expertly performed on me. Oh, and she trained directly with the founders of FST for over a year! Don't let her young appearance fool you, she has been practicing for just under 20 years. This modality of assisted stretching is sooooo much more than improving muscle flexibility! Think joint health & range of motion and of course... fascia. I decided to try FST because I have chronic pain in my low back, hips, (including flexors) and read in an issue of "Massage Therapy"magazine that the gentle FST approach is VERY effective in improving my kind of issues.
