Since 2017 I had bounced around a handful of naturopathic doctors scattered all along the West Coast. With relationships lasting up to two years but also as little as two weeks. While I learned something of value with each individual, I had not met someone who I considered eligible as a long-term guiding light until I met Dr. Vera. read more

Dr. Singleton is one of the best Naturopathic Practitioners in California. A friend referred me based on some health concerns of mine. So far I have had 3 appointments and my health issue has improved over 70% She has a no nonsense strategy and believes in attacking the "root" of health issues to get her patients back to an optimum healthy balance. I recommend her services if you are interested in real health maintenance and not just masking your health concerns. read more

I found Vera to be judgmental and ineffectual. She had a hard time interpreting basic labs, and when I shared some personal information with her, she could not keep her own opinions about my lifestyle choices to herself. Totally inappropriate. She is enthusiastic about health care, yes, but lacks intuition and attention to detail. read more

Our family has been seeing Dr. Vera for years now, and we've always been thrilled with the care we've received from her. She's helped us with hormone and adrenal support, digestive support, skin care and safe and easy mole removal, as well as allergy support. She is one of the most caring people we know and always takes the time to listen intently and effectively help. read more

Dr. Vera Singleton is the absolute best naturopathic doctor I have seen and, believe me, I have seen a lot in the last ten years. First of all, Dr. Singleton will listen to you. She listened to my entire medical history from the time I was a teenager on and took notes about everything. Most importantly, she paid attention to the stuff that most doctors had told me over the years was inconsequential to my overall health. After she had listened to me for hours and looked over my bloodwork, she prescribed a homeopathic preparation that really worked. She also gave me tips on diet, exercise and sleep that helped a lot. If you are looking for a knowledgable doctor who will really take your health seriously, I would highly recommend going to see Dr. Singleton. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Singleton she has literally helped change my life, my diet, the way I eat and even the way I think about food. She is a naturopathic doctor and healer when I was so sick she gave me homeopathic remedies and I got better much quicker naturally than prescription medication. She is funny, smart and kind! You can tell she really cares for her patients like family. You won't regret going to her because she will help you change your life. She is down to earth and open and has the heart to help people. If you have a problem she has a remedy and you will be certain to feel better and get better. I now eat better than I ever have in my life but she made me realize life is all about balance its not all or nothing. You need a personal inspiration go to this woman! Thank you so much for your help Dr. Vera I appreciate it. read more

Dr. Vera Singleton is the ultimate in good-natured, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is holistic care. I believe this approach is what sets her practice apart from others and makes her unique. I was looking for someone to push me beyond my norm so that I can reach new levels of optimal health. Dr. V has helped me to see how I can make small changes to what I consume to significantly improve my well-being. She has helped me detox from harmful toxins, which I learned from her impact my mood, metabolism and motivation to move and exercise. What I most appreciate about her practice is how her care is truly holistic in that she helped me to see how my physical, mental, emotional and environmental health are all interrelated. Since I have completed her detox program and followed her recommended protocol, I've seen significant improvement in my energy levels and sense of wellbeing. As a busy professional with a lot on my plate, I can attest to the fact that she's especially well-attuned to the needs of high achievers who may be on the verge of burnout from overworking and under nourishing. I highly recommend her if you are ready to take it to level 10 on all levels. read more

If I could give Dr. Vera more stars, I would! She is a knowledgable, intuitive, wise, generous and gifted doctor. If you are interested in getting to the core of what ails you - not just take a pill and get a quick fix for your symptoms - I recommend Dr. Vera! She is a gift in my life and a gift toward the plan for optimizing my health. I am deeply grateful that she is my doctor. Truly. read more

I have been going to see Dr. Vera SingletonI for over 2 years for pre cancer skin kerotosin. After going to dermotologists for many years and having the kerotosin frozen off just to come back and 3 times turn into skin cancer, Dr. Singleton has a whole different approach to treating my skin that allows it to heal itself by bringing out the toxins. After the initial treatments she sees me regularly to make sure that my skin is healthy. I have not had skin cancer since going to see her. I have enjoyed going to see her more than any other Doctor that I have had. read more

I'm so grateful to have Dr. Vera in my corner. She's warm, approachable, knowledgeable and, most of all, real. I didn't feel one bit intimidated about the holistic lifestyle changes I needed to make to improve my health and to support my body's detoxification process. I'm happy to report I'm healthier and feel more confident in how I take care of my wellbeing. Thank you, Dr. V! read more

I think Dr. Singleton is the best doctor I have ever had. She is knowledgeable and interested in her patients. Blessed with a sense of humor she also demonstrates concern and can work with challenging cases... like me. I've worked with Dr Singleton for a couple of years now addressing a very stubborn hypothyroid issue. I was never 'sickly" but was diagnosed with a thyroid problem after a friend of mine (who is an MD) noticed some symptoms and made me promise to go get tested. Turns out I was hypothyroid and may have been so since the birth of my son some 20 years prior to my diagnosis. A series of life stresses seem to move it quickly downhill and suddenly I was pretty sick and uncomfortable. After being through a number of doctors , I have to say she is the first one who really listened and created space for me to be an active collaborator in caring for my health. I read and learned a lot about my condition and was very relieved to have a health practitioner who was able to work with me through a process which made a world of difference in my health. I think that her ability to interpret my thyroid tests also made a significant difference in my treatment. Many doctors stick by an established protocol when it comes to thyroid tests. Indeed one doctor told me there was nothing wrong with my thyroid. Another one told me I had arthritis. It was pure madness. Meanwhile I had to lay down after I made my bed or went food shopping.Forget about exercise and having fun. I was so exhausted and in pain. Dr Singleton used my tests very effectively and also made recommendations for treatment that other doctors would probably not even have considered. I now work every day, do yoga, hike, salsa, kayak, keep my grandson and more because I am no longer exhausted and in pain thanks to her knowledge, skills and understanding. read more

Dr. Vera has provided me with great information regarding my health. She is an expert when it comes to accessing and determining what best habits and nutrition works for your body& well being. I recently took part in Dr. Vera's detox program, and completed it feeling tremendous and knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Singleton is a lifesaver! I've had anxiety/insomnia for most of my life and out of fear of being addicted to over-the-counter or prescription sleep aids, I decided to approach my insomnia in a different way. Prior to my interactions with her, I have hardly ever heard of naturopath or holistic medicine but after everything else had failed to alleviate my insomnia, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! Upon my first meeting with Dr. Singleton, we went over a comprehensive overview of my medical history and she prescribed an herb that worked immediately. She also gave me valuable tips on how to manage insomnia without having to take any medication which has helped as well. For anyone with insomnia, you would understand that getting a good night's rest is golden! Thank you Dr. Singleton for helping me consistently sleep throughout the night. I also wanted to mention that Dr. Singleton was professional, compassionate, patient, and truly cares for her patients. She took all the time I needed to fully describe my issue and my medical history and checked in with me several times since our initial visit to see how I've been doing. I have recommended her to all of my family and friends for any health issue, she truly is brilliant! For any of you living in or near the Oakland area, check out Dr. Singleton at the Lolo Health Center. You won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Vera has a great positive energy about her, and she is very knowledgeable about her field! She is the type of person you want on your team; and, it is very clear that she cares about her patients. She has guided me on my 1st detox supportively helping me to take charge of and live a healthier life via significant, powerful health tips not only for me but also for my kids and family. I also had my son tested and now know which foods to try to avoid and understand the importance of probiotics! She addresses all questions directly and honestly (whether you like it or not) and takes the time to ensure you understand. I've been heading down the wrong road (eating too much meat, sugar, salt, processed foods, not enough vegetables and my body was feeling it), but now I have the education and head start to go the other way. Surprisingly, my eczema, which I haven't been able to clear w/ various medications for the last 20 yrs, cleared after about 5 days. She's a fabulous doctor, and I would recommend her to my closest family and friends. read more

Dr. Vera is a loving, caring, and patient doctor. She has a high level of integrity. She returns all calls and all emails within 2-3 business days. She is finding solutions to my medical problems with digestion and adrenal gland stress by using natural supplements. She is helping me get back to karate and fitness competition again by next year. I wished I met her earlier and would have saved on some medical bills that didn't solve my issue. I highly recommend her especially with females who have hormone and weight issues. read more

About a year ago, I became ill and the doctors wanted me to have surgery. I don't like hospitals so I decided to see if I had other options. Thanks to yelp reviews I came across Lolo's Health Center. I decided to give it a try since all the comments were so positive. Luckily for me it was all true! The practice genuinely is there to help and make you healthier than you were. I started, and recommend, seeing Dr. Singleton. She is a naturopathic doctor. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated to making her patients healthier. She has helped me through my sickness with natural remedies and vitamins. As a result, I am aware of my bodies needs and I have learned what and how my body works. Dr. Singleton has really shown me she cares, she has changed my life, and I feel healthier than I have ever felt. I highly recommend this practice. The moment you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and you are surrounded by staff that is there to make you healthier and more knowledgeable about your body, and it's located on the waterfront. read more

Dr. Singleton is awesome. I have been to several doctors due to stomach issues that I had been having for years. I have been put on at least 5 different medications by doctors that were supposedly going to fix me with horrible side effects. Eventually I was told well I guess it's just not curable. In less than 3 months of seeing Dr. Singleton, all of my symptoms are gone. I have never felt better, and I can't believe I suffered for so long before her. She is extremely knowledgeable and very caring with her patients. I have never felt rushed out of her office like I have with so many doctors in the past. Thank you Dr. Singleton! read more

I just completed my 21 day Challenge and I'm feeling very vibrant again. I'm so glad to have done Dr Vera program. It was the most easiest detox cleanse I have done with the most results. She really cares and wants to see people change habits for the better. read more

I worked with Dr. Vera for about 8 months and although she is friendly and was eager to help with my auto-immune issues, I found that her approach and bedside manner was not up to par with other professionals in the area. She was not very receptive to my feedback about what I felt was/wasn't working and relied heavily on testing and supplementation targeted at what she thought were the issues at hand. Her approach is treat the test results and that the doctor is the most knowledgeable person in the room. This is highly problematic when dealing with health issues as there is only so much tests can illuminate. She was also not responsive to e-mails and urged me to contact her multiple times to get her attention. After working with another practitioner in San Francisco I have found someone who works with me, offering her input but also encouraging me to incorporate my own research. This means I am not being talked down to by a doctor, which is the reason I switched to naturopathic doctors instead of allopathic medicine. Ultimately, after a round of tests and numerous supplements for months on end with Dr. Vera, I saw very little progress. When I switched practitioners I realized she had not even tested me for one of the most common gut dysfunction issues - SIBO. I'm receiving more support and progress having paid careful attention to the patient practitioner relationship. Dr. Vera is surely knowledgeable so this is not to discourage anyone, but if you are independent in your own understanding of your health and looking for someone to work with you who is at the forefront of research I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Dr. Singleton is great! I have been a patient of hers for a year now. I have continued to make improvements to my health since my first visit. She is very knowledgeable. She does a great job helping me understand what's going on with my body and comes up with effective all natural remedies and diet changes to restore health. Dr. Singleton is very caring and will guide you through your healing journey. I actually look forward to going to see a doctor, that's rare. read more

When I first came to Lolo, I was only thinking of seeking acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage for my insomnia (I've had it since 2005 and was medicated via Zolpidem since 2008) and chronic back pain (mainly in the upper back and shoulder area). I read somewhere that acupuncture can treat insomnia. I didn't give a second thought to naturopathic medicine. After assessing my overall health history by Anthony, I was referred to Dr. Singleton. I figured, why not? We'll see where this will go. Most traditional M.D.'s will write up a prescription and send you on your merry way. Sleeping pills for Insomnia and pain meds for my backaches. I was tired of being medicated and wanted to be pain and insomnia free without relying on my meds. Dr. Singleton's method was treating these problems more naturally with supplements (tests were run to determine what supplements I should be on). I am now free of meds and I can sleep well. My back pains are now to a minimum. I have to say I have not felt this great in years. Thanks to Dr. Singleton and everyone at Lolo for helping me feel this great! The practitioners here really do take their time with you and they really do care about your well-being. read more

Dr. Singleton is the best holistic doctor I've ever met. I needed help to jumpstart my body and needed to get leaner. At first I  wasn't sure natural medicine could help me cause I had been to so many other doctors and didn't respond to so many meds, they just gave up on me. But by far, she listened to me more than any other doctor she didn't talk over my head and found my problem quick! We did some food allergy testing and she put me on a program and bam! The changes just started happening and fast. She doesn't give you a lot of supplements only what you need and I was happy about that.  So now no more inflammation! I got a nutrition plan that now works for my busy life.  I just feel a million times better and my body feels different and that was exactly what I wanted. PLUS She has this health program which I decided to invest in cause I wanted the extra support. I think this was game changer cause I had some  habits that she helped me find and change.  I'm a high energy, motivated guy but NOBODY has ever helped me up my all around game like this...It was challenging, but so worth it. Hands down she's worth every dollar and is my doc for life! read more

I had seen literally a dozen of doctors for 2 years before I came across Dr. Singleton from a personal recommendation. My issues were very complex and no other doctor was able to figure out how all of the different factors were influencing one another. I had severe gut/digestive and hormonal problems, among other things. In the 2 years I was struggling to get better while seeing doctors who couldn't really help me, I researched medical problems I suspected I was dealing with on a daily basis. I came to really understand my body and different natural things out there that do a much better job at healing me than conventional medicine. I brought my complex case and my numerous supplemental regime to Dr. Singleton a few months ago. Meeting her, I knew right away she was the doctor for me! She's an excellent thoughtful listener, who has the perfect balance of being open-minded and respectful of her patients, but also very intelligent and forward-thinking in her responses and recommendations. Dr. Singleton agreed with a lot of my own assessment of what I suspect had been going on for me, and gently advised me what to focus on first and always educates me on new info I did not know about yet. She's always a step ahead of me, which I am so delighted about because I felt like all of the other doctors were always behind me in figuring out what's going on with me. The other doctors kept ordering tests to confirm what I already knew which was a waste of my time and money. With Dr. Singleton, even though I pay out of pocket, I feel it's money very worth spending, and her efficiency make me feel like I'm saving money in managing my healthcare. In about 3 months, mu digestion and hormonal problems are either resolved or under control. She's amazing! read more

I rarely give full 5 stars or a "ten," or whatever, when quantitative ratings are asked for. I make a rare exception in the case of Dr. Vera. Though she is an ND, not an MD, she is without a doubt my primary care physician, in every sense of the word. She is reality-based and while always seeking alternatives to Big Pharma and allopathic medicine in treating and healing she doesn't discount that route when needed. The shining light of any practitioner IMO, is that I walk out of an appointment, feeling better than when I walked in. Dr. Vera never fails! Please consider her when searching for responsive, responsible, loving care! read more

Phenomenal Dr. V.. will get you on the right track to better health. Finished a 21 day detox, felt amazing and know this will be a lifelong lifestyle. Dr. Vera provided not only the foods and guidelines but also the support community!! After the detox I tried to drink coffee and did not like it as much as I used to and do not even need it. I also noticed that the juicing recommendations made a huge difference in how I felt. I highly recommend seeing her to optimize your health. read more

Dr. Singleton is present and caring and focuses on how to return you to your most optimal good health. Additionally, she is highly knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Vera for almost a year for some chronic auto-immune issues. She has been a blessing in my life for sure. She has a super positive way about her with educating you in an easy to understand way. Whether it is explaining blood work or helping me figure out nutrition she knows her stuff and has guided me to feeling so much better. I can't understand the 1 star review, as my experience was just the opposite. I feel like we are a team in my health journey. I would highly recommend her if you have tried Western medicine but aren't getting better or on a bunch of medications and you want to do something better for your health and body. She has been a great coach. read more

Dr. Singleton has completely changed my life for the better! I had been suffering from stomach issues and headaches and my family kept telling me that I should see a doctor. However, I did not have a primary care physician since I was a child and every doctor I have met since then didn't help me very much and they didn't seem like they cared. I had almost given up and then I moved to Oakland and decided that I would go see another doctor, but I didn't want to see a M.D. I went and saw Dr. Singleton and I was really impressed by her. She was also extremely friendly, nice and genuine. She seemed to really show that she cared about me and getting rid of my stomach aches and headaches. After seeing Dr. Singleton my life has improved so much; I feel like I have more power over my health and well being! Without Dr. Singleton I would still be suffering from stomach aches and headaches. She has changed the way I feel about going to the doctor; I actually look forward to my follow-up appointment! read more
