I chose to see Angela London based on her online bio stating that she believes in an individualized…read moreapproach to the patient's healthcare needs. However, this online bio did not match up to my experience with her. Instead I found I was told what to do and my concerns were disregarded completely. I was quite disappointed by this. I had been receiving care from a different ND doctor for hypothyroid problems, and hormone imbalances for several years. Then,due to insurance changes, I could no longer see that doctor and had to find a new ND doctor. I came to Dr London expecting to have the same experience of being listened to, and tailoring an individualized treatment plan. Unfortunately what I experienced was an approach to testing and treatment of sub-clinical hypothyroidism that was exactly like traditional doctors, and not at all like naturopathic medicine I have experienced. Only TSH and T4 were tested, and when I requested testing of T3 and free T4 as well, I was refused even though I explained my previous provider always monitored that and it was important to me. Reason given was that my TSH "was within normal range" so no further testing needed. Anyone who has sub-clinical hypothyroid issues knows this is not an individualized approach. At this point, I chose to discontinue care with her office due to lack of compatibility with my previous treatment plan. I felt obligated to post this review to help others with thyroid issues who may be looking for a naturopath. I cannot recommend Dr. London for this issue. After this experience, I chose to pay out of pocket to continue care with my previous naturopathic doctor, Dr. Camille Koontz in Bellingham. It's worth every penny. I found Dr. London to be very intelligent and focused, but her philosophy seems to be very traditionally western medicine, not naturopathic, and very controlling with a complete lack of individuality in her approach.

After seeing her quite a few times, her bedside manner was consistently lacking. When I wasn't following her guidelines to a T, she referred me to her husband which seems like quite the norm according to other reviews. Her husband was nice enough, but tried to use scare tactics on me about a health issue that he and I were attempting to work on, but wasn't responding to any sort of medication. And he had the audacity to use those scare tactics on me. Let me just reiterate that. I was already feeling discouraged about my health problem and I was going to this provider for help. I was complying, trying multiple medications that I could not afford, doing the lifestyle changes they recommended, and they felt as though I was not taking it seriously and made me feel awful about myself. Every time I saw Sarah after that, she was extremely hostile with me and would not give me the time of day. As a practice they are completely untrustworthy. I have a friend who have brought in their infant and were given the wrong vaccine. I have friends that have also attempted to seek care from this office and also felt like they were not given the time of day or talked down to. Not only does she talk down to patients, Sarah also talks down to the support staff. And like several other reviews, getting a referral sent was a nightmare. And calling to the office is a nightmare. To get to the point, I don't trust these providers and I will never return to Fairhaven Integrative Health and I strongly do not recommend this clinic to anyone.

Having largely sworn off western medicine for most of my adult life, I found the route of naturopathy to be more in alignment with healthcare, as in caring for peoples health. The holistic route. Having been physically active my life, when my body started behaving differently, I was not happy with the change. I was even less happy with the fact that no one in my western medicine community took my concerns seriously. Big hospitals and doctors that came highly recommended failed me time after time. Having moved to a new community and not having made new healthcare connections, I was in a place to start looking at starting over. Basically firing my fancy doctor and looking for a great doctor within the BIPOC Community. It was during this process that I learned about Bonnie and her work. I had never been to someone practicing functional medicine. Oddly, I don't even think I've ever researched down that path. But she came highly recommended and she accepts my insurance so I made an appointment. My initial appointment with Bonnie was very reminiscent of visits with former naturopath. Her approach is thoughtful and holistic. Her questioning was good and relevant and careful and inquisitive. She not only listened, but she heard what I was saying about my concerns - she tracked what I was saying, and asked questions to dive deeper. She ordered bloodwork that I needed to start getting answers. Bloodwork that I wasn't able to get from others because they wouldn't listen to me. Because she listened and was proactive, I'm now on a path of Collecting information that will tell a story. With that story will come actual health care. If you're feeling like you're not being heard and you're tired of getting blown off by providers with fancy titles doling out shitty care, check out functional medicine and Bonnie Sprague.

I would describe Bonnie's style as old-school...the most amazing thing about Bonnie, is not her years of experience, quaint office with easy parking and convenient location, highly professional staff..Sandra is a gem !! But the fact that Bonnie LISTENS!! Yep!! She truly does!! She actually takes the time to sit down and make sure she understands exactly what YOUR concerns are. I so appreciate this woman and her impeccable skills, judgment on numerous issues at this point. I would be lost without her! If you are reading this and liking what I am telling you, please let's keep it between us as we don't want her to turn into a doc-in-the-box kind office with plastic people and their artificial smiles as they swipe your card.. Bonnie is the real deal! Oh and I don't mean to be exclusionary.. I'm sure she treats other/all genders.

I did not want to go the ER for it because it wasn't serious enough for me to be taking a spot when apparently they only have one hospital in the city. But it was still severe enough that I needed to be seen. I was on hold for twenty minutes. I finally got an appointment and came in as a new patient. Two hours later. The Assistant "Teri" was extremely rude and condescending and acted like I was wasting everyone's time by being there. Did I not know how to contact one of the urgent care clinics (I did see after that they had these but not open til 1pm). Did I not know that I could get Azo at any drug store? From what I understand this is just to help with the discomfort but doesn't exactly treat anything. Maybe she was having a bad day. I don't know. But I wonder why people go into this line of work if they just diminish your reason for being there?

I understand that physicians get behind for a myriad of reasons, but if they are running late, the office should give you a call and let you know so you have the option to reschedule. This is not a unique circumstance, although it is the longest. I have been made to wait for inordinately long periods of time many times over the years. No longer. I do not recommend NSFM. It seems as though they are more focused on patient volume than patient satisfaction.
