They were so kind and gentle, and offered the perfect amount of support without pressuring you into doing anything you don't want. My baby and I snuggled, breastfed, skin to skin all that good stuff from the moment he was born. I was overwhelmed by the tremendous love and bonded quickly. Five months later my heart is still filled with joy just by looking at my son everyday, and my husband and I are so happy to have this little human in our life. I am grateful for my trauma-free birthing experience and I believe that helped make other things easier.

Doc Sarah is a FIND. I won't knock traditional medicine -…read morebut I do know, in my experience, it can be limited to medicating the symptoms without really examining the causes, and can feel like a patchwork of specialty folks who don't always see the whole picture. At Hilo Natural, I've found a practitioner with both a breadth and depth of experience in treating the whole human. Doc Sarah combines comprehensive lab work, lifestyle factors, supplements, and has been able to help me make progress with some thyroid and lab issues (and also more physio-related issues foot and shoulder pain) with a combination of nutrient support, medication, and interventions like prolon therapy (really helpful for chronic plantar fasciitis.) Also, she's really, really dang smart - and a compassionate guide thru what has been a difficult entry into my 40s. The office is run as a tight ship - which I realize is unusual for an area in which 'business hours' are often a loose approximation and the general standard of responsiveness and timeliness is WELL below average. Basically, you get San Francisco Bay Area level care, follow-up, and appointment management here - so if you are prone to the generally lackadaisical island approach to things, this may not be a fit. For those accustomed to a 'laid back approach' (read: not respectful of time and about a decade behind in innovation) - this place will come as a bit of a jolt. As someone who values innovation, results, responsiveness- and respects my own time and that of other people - this clinic is perfect as both my go-to for integrative treatment and as my PC doc. These folks won't keep you waiting or offer anything but the latest in education, utmost in professionalism and of-the-moment treatment- so return the favor and be on time, do your homework, and get results.

I usually get my MTHFR supplements from Dr Strongs office but last time her secretary tried to sell…read moreme either expired items or supplements she wrongly ordered. She said the company stopped making the B12 with 5L, so now the only way to get them was biying them separate, which was double the cost. After calling the company ( seeking health) and been told they have never stopped making these 2 supplements in one formula, and that was actually their best seller, I called her office to return the supplements and get my money back. Her secretary hanged up on me when I said she lied to me, and Dr Strong kicked me out of the office by email in response of my request for a refund. Ah, and when I asked the secretary what the 5L part of the supplement was, she rudely answered "Im not a doctor " What kind of customer service is this??

Since my first review I have flown back 3 more times from Honolulu, to see Chris Lawinski, MD, and…read moreit feel like home. I now know I can be well with 3 infusions every 4 to 6 months....actually I went 7.5 months once. I now know everyone there so well, Chris Lawinski , although very busy, manages to be flexible, since I fly in for 3 to 4 days.This truly is an extraordinary medical practice, and so obviously, the result of a doc with a clear vision who worked and turned it into a reality. I also have had several virtual consults and phone appointments, PRIMACY to discuss the ketamine lozenges I take which which prolong the infusions. I also have a wonder compounding pharmacy in Berkeley, California, who fill the scripts, and who are incredible, make it so stressless. I receive the lozenges 36 hours after they post them, and I am in Honolulu! They are accessible via email and phone....And does this efficiency and professionalism cost more...N0, including shipping it is half what one pharmacy charged, and 1/4 th what another charged!...and others with similar cost, were impossible to reach, and packages took 3 to 5 days to reach me. Remember this name..VALOR COMPOUNDING IN BERKELEY! ..no..I am not related to anyone there, and no, I wasn't paid. BETWEEN CHRIS and VALOR..I am enjoying a new found Wellness after decades...I am 73.....oh, ok, wish I was 53...but no real complaints, 73 is better than most of you might guess :) . Lots of laughter, busy doing things I love.. I will be back in Pahoa getting infusions in a couple months wouldn't miss it for anything. jane

It actually began when I booked my stay, and due to poor communication and thoroughness (even when I went back to double check before booking my fight), there was a major snafu which the Dr. did not take responsibility for. Not to mention the terrible miscommunication in person with Dr. Baylac, which was unacceptable and no way to conduct business or speak to patrons. Additionally, this place is NOT one for healing, the environment has a massively toxic energy. The doctor should not be practicing any longer and this place is definitely not worth the money. I do not recommend this place at all.

My temple is clear and clean I now have the tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle forever. Cindy and her staff are so compassionate, loving and are now my Ohana.

I emailed with Dr. Shannon Siddel weeks in advance to arrange our massage appointment. She was very quick to respond, professional and friendly. My husband and I scheduled 2 90 minute massages and each cost $110 which is .. how massage should be priced. My husband had Dr. Siddel as his therapist and was very pleased. I had another therapist named Craig who was FANTASTIC! I usually request female therapists but at the last minute the female therapist I had scheduled had to cancel and I was scheduled with Craig. I highly recommend him. He had a very intuitive touch and is just the right amount of communicative. Time slipped away as it's want to with massage appointments (why is that?) and I felt renewed, relaxed and awakened when I left. Their office is small and definitely not a resort atmosphere but if all you care about is being in a safe clean place with a skilled therapist - this is it.
