An epic doctor? You don't see that everyday!…read more Dr. Karen Peters exemplifies the very best of what a healer can be. When I first met her years ago, I had just survived being a medical experiment in Guatemala (now there's a story!) and was fully fed up with western medicine and its egotistical butchers, and had little faith or patience with its practitioners. On a whim I tried the naturopathic approach and she turned me around 180 degrees with the anti-inflammation dietary approach. Naturopaths know far more about healing systems and dietary effects than traditional doctors. They have "evolved" beyond western medicine. They are also not shy about using other modalities, they go for what really works. Dr. Karen as a practitioner is gentle and wise, patient and incredibly attentive and clear. Kindness just flows from her. She is the first doctor I have ever looked forward to going to see, by far. She has that special je ne sais quoi... She is super smart and knows Spanish and handled my Spanish medical records no problem btw! She just all around rocks. Can you say that about your doctor? Let Dr. Karen Peters help you. I bet she changes your life :)

After spending thousands of dollars on tests, appointments, and supplements, I am left worse off…read morethan when I started. Every appointment runs about 15-45 minutes late. She never knows anything about my case until I come in. If I need to email/phone about anything, her response is attacking (like there's something wrong with me if I have an adverse response to a medication and that upsets her or if there is an issue at the pharmacy, you are on your own). She is worth seeing if you can't get help from your GP and try lots of others. I did get one diagnosis from her that came from a test no one else would run. But if you have a complicated case and need someone who can keep atop of it, this isn't your doctor.

I've waited awhile to write this review. I thought perhaps I would see the experience in some new…read morelight with time, however, it has not changed. Marcey was 45 minutes late for our first appointment. I understand being unavoidably detained. However, she did not acknowledge the lateness, or apologize. When I met her inside her office, I realized that she had been the person who had come through the waiting room laden with shopping bags. I initially overlooked this, wanting to focus on getting help. Later I wondered how unavoidable the delay was. This was an auspicious beginning of the professional relationship. (As a health provider myself, I would not have handled lateness in this manner -- but, I wanted to give her a chance.) The most problematic aspect of her treatment, and the reason I left her care, had to do with demeanor. She was distant, lacking compassion, and judgmental. I felt worse after leaving her office. In terms of her clinical treatment, she offered no additional understanding, information. I have seen many western practitioners as well as eastern and alternative care practitioners, valued both, and have received great care from many. I am not a challenging person, nor a particularly challenging medical case. There are a small number of doctors I've encountered over the years whose care stands out in my mind on a continuum from unpleasant to harmful. Unfortunately, she is one of them.

Anahita was very helpful in her consultation and took great care to learn about my needs, my lifestyle, and areas she felt that needed work. My first visit was a consultation and session and my two sessions thereafter were a continuation of the treatment. I was pleasantly surprised at all of the techniques (including,, but not limited to acupuncture, massage, cupping, etc.) she used to alleviate my pain and it really solidified my opinion that I was going to use her going forward for all my needs and has now become my go-to spot for muscle recovery, pain treatment, etc.

(Hormonal health is something she specializes in.) I started the estrogen patch a few weeks before seeing her, which did help, but I know she helped turn my system around, because when I saw her I was waking up 4 times a night, for 6 months. After a couple months of working with her, I woke up only 1 time a night! I am phobic of needles, and she is always kind and patient. Her touch is expert and gentle. She listens well and deeply. She also has an extensive knowledge of Chinese herbs, and other supplements to support your body/mind. I also broke my toe, and after one treatment, I'm sure she helped push the tide of my healing in the right direction. She is a lovely human, (and with a great sense of humor), an incredible TCM doctor, her office is lovely, and I highly recommend her!!

I have made so much progress resolving a variety of challenging health issues that Kaiser/Blue Shield were no help with and Eastern medicine made little progress on. My experience with Dr. Metz was a blend of a scientific approach (eg, a lab test to determine what bacteria lives in my gut) and plant-based medicine (plus diet and lifestyle recommendations) to get my body back in homeostasis, and my gut bacteria back into balance. It changed my life. I really can't recommend her too highly.

When meeting with me, she takes her time, asks good questions and wants to know how I'm doing overall, not just for what I'm there for. I can't express enough how caring and supportive Dr. Lo is.

I'm glad that a friend of mine referred me to her because I've incorporated acupuncture into my self-care and overall wellness. Dr. Rhee is so easy to work with and listens intently to anything that may be bothering me at the time. I've only tried acupuncture one time years ago, so that didn't really make too much of an impact but I'm so happy to give it another shot with her. I had full trust, the minute I came in for my initial visit. It's one of the most relaxing and helpful ways to healing the body, both physically and mentally. She's gentle, lets you know when she's about to start each move during the session and I appreciate that she always keeps it nice, warm and comfortable. She has introduced me to a particular CBD ointment, which helps me tremendously for achy muscles and chronic pain. I definitely recommend her to anyone and have already mentioned her to a few of my friends to see. The way she handles the needles were painless and it's the tiniest little prick that she magically perfected. She also incorporated cupping which is highly recommended for those stubborn, achy spots. Once I visit back home, I will surely pay her a visit!
