To Dr. Daci - I'm responding here because I don't have your direct email address and messages to…read moreyou aren't going through. First I'm astonished at your repeated edits of your response. First you told a story full of falsehoods that totally negated my experience. Basically proving my points! Then for a moment, you seemed to be respecting my experience, finally saying, "Your concerns about my communication and approach are valuable, and I'm committed to refining how I connect with patients." But you deleted that today and instead put this "It is unfortunate that we were not able to find common ground and connect despite my sincere attempts -- this was a first for me." Ah again you're the hero and my feedback and sincere attempts are invisible. And was common ground the point? Not your skill at what you promise? Or caring about the patient's actual experience, not just your story about who you think you are? And I bet this has happened before. You make it hard to be heard. Which was basically my point. You worked hard to make this something wrong with me. I asked for what I needed at the session and you brushed that aside. You didn't see it. Oh, I'll add another thing that felt uncomfortable for me was you charging my credit card with $585 when I made the appointment, three weeks in advance. I've NEVER had a doctor or healer do that. I got the bill before the appointment. I realize now it put me in a position where I couldn't just end the appointment, and we didn't have a moment at the end to discuss the amount. It felt like you were taking care of yourself, not your patient. As I said in my original post, I tried two ways afterwards to communicate my experience of our session to you. A memo, giving examples. And on the phone, during the followup call. As I shared here, I felt my feedback totally blown off by you. And so I shared my experience with others here. I've sought to be fair and factual. And really - won't this help you avoid having patients that have needs like mine? Meanwhile, I met with another healer today who easily did what you did not. Welcomed me, told me the plan in advance, mirrored what she heard me say, asked what I needed, behaved consistent with her described values. It was a thing of beauty, and reminded me what a healthy dynamic feels like. So I'm good. I hope you do take this as an opportunity to learn. But your response is your choice, and just reflects on you.

Lois Johnson is a different kind of doctor who has a different kind of office with it's own unique…read morepharmacy. Her pharmacy is like Rosemary's Garden meets Dollar Drug. Her office resembles a living room more than a cold surgery room. But that doesn't mean she's not a qualified MD. My impression of the practice: I would expect to find her in Sebastopol or Occidental, and on my first visit I was taken aback by many things, but mostly to find her practicing in Santa Rosa. As far as holistic practitioners, she goes way beyond Hill Park and Brian Bouch in Petaluma. And if they seem "heavy handed" as the one bad review stated, it is to stress the importance of taking the prescribed medication as directed, and making follow-up appointments. You have to have confidence in alternative medicine or you may not feel comfortable paying for the treatment. When I went, the practice was self-pay (did not accept my insurance) and pretty expensive for me, including the prescribed medications from the pharmacy. And there were refills that were equally expensive. The prescriptions are almost certainly not going to be covered by any insurance. I saw Lois Johnson at a time when I had exhausted all other options. I had a "successful" cancer treatment that had left me permanently disabled with nerve damage. No doctor would believe I had a problem, let alone treat it. I saw Lois, she was understanding, listened and believed I was in pain. That was very important to me at the time, but she didn't have the answer for me other than just acceptance of lifelong pain and loss. I later found help from a western medicine specialist in San Francisco. That's my story. I wasn't really impressed. But my mother saw Lois for a different issue with a lot of success (she doesn't write Yelp reviews). Mom had been given a medication by her primary care doctor to help with hot flashes. An SSRI or an SNRI. The side effects were not tolerable so she tried to stop taking it. But she couldn't. She had horrible withdrawals when she tried to stop. No other doctor would even believe my mom, let alone help her. Lois saw her and their pharmacy compounded the medication in very small doses so my mom could reduce the medication more slowly. It made a huge difference and she successfully tapered off. So, 3.5 stars. One of a kind holistic MD with a compound / herbal pharmacy that practices alternative medicine and helps with unique medical issues if you can afford it.

Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels... I feel so much better…read more Words cannot do it justice for feeling good when I have been feeling bad for so many years. I knew something was wrong with my gut, I tried a virtual Natropathic doctor who helped me at the time but not enough and the gut problems just kept persisting. I knew I needed a good doctor who understands holistic health and the gut to understand what was going on with me specificially. Meeting Dr. Dana's was the best experience. Getting her kind-hearted guidance to do the tests and get the protocols, I FEEL BETTER!!! I literally had to hand over my health to someone else I trusted because I had failed. I'm now on day 12 of this transformation so lots more to heal but at least I feel energetic enough to play, work, and spend quality time with family. If you feel bad the rest of the world is not great. My gut biome is on the road to recovery and that means the world to me. Thank you Dr. Dana Michaels. If you are considering working with Dr. Dana do it and your health will improve but first you got to know what is going on inside your body and no ad, internet group or friend will be able to tell you that other than doing the tests and following a protocol specific to YOUR body. Still not sure? Watch "Hack Your Health" on Netflix as they talk all about the gut biome in a very entertaining way. But notice the doctors that work with the people are learning what is going on inside of them and how to fix it. Natropathic doctors are far more capable of helping you with true gut health because they believe in a holistic approach of healthy bodies.

Most effective bodywork and healing I've received following my spinal cord injury and broken back…read more I am very fortunate and grateful to have had Jill Goldreyer recommended to me shortly after my release from the hospital following a severe motorcycle accident and injury. Jill has been extensively helpful in facilitating my recovery and helping me with my severe pain management. My hospital treatment included a spinal fusion of 5 vertebrae, with supplemental posterior titanium rods screwed into the spine. This in itself was/is extremely painful and felt consistently invasive and debilitating to my healing body. Jill helped me come to terms with this operation and new hardware, and found non-invasive ways to address and soothe the intensity of the pain. I was also experiencing deep trauma, bruising and swelling in a majority of my body, as well as unrelenting nuerogenic pain from the waist down. I was seeking any and all means of alternative pain management as I worked my way to abstention from all pharmaceutical painkillers. I don't believe I would have been able to accomplish this without the loving, intuitive assistance and guidance from Jill. Initially following the accident in the hospital I had no function or sensation from my lower abdomen and back down to my toes. I could not walk or move my legs. After almost two weeks I regained minimal sensation and function and started physical therapy and light movement. Shortly after it became evident that the benefits of being in the hospital had been outlived and real healing treatment was needed. Jill Goldreyer was the first practitioner to see me following my decision to leave the hospital. She assisted me physically and energetically. Over months I regained more and more function as she helped me navigate through and away from pain. I attribute a large portion of my recent rehabilitation to my frequent and pleasant visits with Jill. I am eternally grateful and I believe that she singlehandedly has been the most influential and powerful healer in my journey towards recovery.

She is honest and she will work very hard for you. The best! Thank you Jill!

I've been to about fifteen acupuncturists over the last two decades, usually for sports injuries…read more Many different styles from Japanese acupuncture to Korean and Chinese. Out of all these practitioners, Chase is my favorite because I got the best, most direct results from his treatment I have ever had with any acupuncturist. I had a case of tennis elbow that had been developing for several months to the point I could barely use my left arm and the pain would keep me from sleeping at night. I read a medical study that said acupuncture could be a good therapy. I went to see Chase and he put some needles in relevant points in my arm and did Tui Na chinese massage. Wow, after months of suffering, my pain was immediately reduced by 70%. A few days later the symptoms crept back, not as bad as before. I ended up seeing Chase weekly for the next six weeks and by the end, my arm pain was reduced 90% and my strength was much improved. I consider this a very good outcome, since many people suffer with tennis elbow for 6-12 months before it improves. With Chase I felt better immediately and my problem elbow was functionally healed in only 6 weeks. Chase is very analytical in his practice and thorough in applying his training. He works hard to figure out what is the best therapy for you. He is a nice person and you can tell he really cares about his patients and wants them to get a successful treatment. A bonus is that he is also a herbalist and if herbs can help your problem he will prescribe some for you. Also, I liked his treatment room which was a very peaceful private place to get acupuncture. The next time I have any medical problem that acupuncture can help resolve, Chase will be my first stop. Whether you've never had acupuncture before or you are looking for someone with a fresh personal approach, I recommend Chase highly.

I initially saw Chase late last summer for persistent pain following knee surgery. My recovery…read morefrom bilateral total knee replacement seemed stalled. I had worked faithfully with the physical therapist and that was productive but I wondered if accupunture could provide more relief. I met with Chase weekly for about six weeks specifically to address the knee issues. In addition to the acupuncture, Chase did some cupping and recommended appropriate Chinese herbal medication. I was glad to feel noticeable improvement. Then along came the fall elections which left me anxious and worried. I asked Chase about redirecting some of the acupuncture treatment toward mental health and I found that to be very beneficial. I do not understand acupuncture and how it works but Chase answers all my questions and inspires confidence. He clearly cares very much about the well being of his patients. He is eager to listen carefully and will suggest possible healing avenues to explore. He certainly doesn't disparage Western medicine but can and does offer some alternatives to the AMA's way of doing business. I appreciate the fact that my insurance covers 12 acupuncture visits a year. Chase handles all the billing and that is a real plus for me. There have been a couple of times when I needed to reschedule an appointment and Chase was always gracious and courteous about that. His office is clean, quiet and convenient. In short, if you are looking for an empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional acupuncturist, look no further. I highly recommend Chase.
