I never noticed it before, but a girlfriend of mine told me that I just *had* to go here. And now you all are shaking with anticipation and asking "Why, why, WHY here, of all places?!" I shall tell you why. I've been chubby all my life. The chub turned into being plain old overweight. And it's not fun, you know. Three pregnancies later and I'm way heavier (I won't say how much!) than I was in college. I was looking for a fix. I needed to find a way to rid myself of the fluff. I tried the HCG diet for about a month. If you don't know what that is, then be a smart person and Google it. In that time, I had lost about 16 pounds. Yay, me. My uber sexy and cool girlfriend had also done the diet and told me I should have lost TWICE that much. Come to find out, the HCG I was taking was WEAK SAUCE! Yes, truly! It was filled with ADDITIVES and FILLERS and extra crap. She told me to go to Alternative Health and buy me the GOOD STUFF. So I did. Just the other day. The stuff I bought looks like it has some serious MANA. It's dark orange, not like the clear stuff I bought online. I am totally stoked and cannot wait to say "Hello!" to skinny. Skinny bitch, here I come.

She uses Standard Process (which I've always found good) and other cutting edge nutrients ( buy the liquid chlorophyll and put in your water -it really gives my energy a boost )along with gentle adjustments that have surprising results. My knee went out from ballet and she fixed it in one session! I was amazed. Her prices are reasonable for those of us working parents on a budget and her caring for her patients and 'TLC' is admirable. I have the greatest respect for this gifted naturopath. Brenda is a blessing to the aina!

He's also an expert in blood work without drugs. I'm definitely adding both doctors to my heath concerns. Less drugs are a good thing. I'm so happy. Office experience was great and efficient.

I like THIS nurse and THIS doctor. 5 stars. Now, his daughter in law and son have joined his practice recently. And just so you know, they both have backgrounds in western medicine and they're learning holistic medicine, which is trust me, a VERY different experience. They're fine but if you're looking for a holistic doctor, I'd recommend Dr Pritam Tapryal. This would be a 5 star review but it's hard when the western medicinal docs are in the room recommending western options and you constantly have to explain that's not what you want. It makes your whole experience kind of annoying. I prefer him only for now or at least until they've fully embraced holistic medicine. At this point they still recommend western options and that's not why I go to this office.

Started coming to Center For Holistic Medicine about nine years ago seeking natural and holistic…read moremedical care. My M.D., at that time required me to take a certain medication daily that could potentially cause cancer and other side effects. I had heard over the years of naturopathic medicine and decided to make an appointment to check it out. A friend of mine was seeking two naturopaths and advised me to call this office. One reason is that the previous doctor and Dr. Smith use comprehensive blood tests to determine the best treatment(s) and/or supplements. The other naturopath my friend went to felt that the treatments and/or supplements were more of a "hit or miss." Both the previous doctor and Dr. Smith have done and continue to do an awesome job of addressing the root cause of my health issues and not only the symptoms. Many of the treatments I've received required multiple visits, which meant that I needed to be patient before seeing tangible results. All treatments and supplements recommended to me have improved my health in more ways than I could have ever expected! The only time I have gone to my M.D., is for routine checkups and blood tests. I always share my results with Dr. Smith who will make recommendations if needed. The office is always comfortable and pleasant. You will see some of the products offered displayed on shelves. One of my favorites is the "PurO3" lavender jojoba cream. The office carries a line of this oxygenated oils when cold becomes a cream. A little goes a long way and a bottle usually lasts me a couple of months. The cream is also great on cuts, scrapes and bug bites, because the oxygen speeds up the healing process. The staff is always friendly and awesome! Very professional and helpful!

Mei is the best! I started coming here because I was in so much pain and needed a solution, not…read morejust a band aid for the issues. I had a good feeling about Mei from the beginning because when making an appointment there is a detailed questionnaire. At my first appointment she took the time to talk with me and was so compassionate and kind. I felt immediate relief after my first appointment and it just continues to get better each time. Mei offers Tuina Chinese massage, fire cupping, and acupuncture and you can book either a 1 hour session for one side or a 2 hour session for both sides. I always book the 2 hour sessions and highly recommend it! It's well worth the price as she provides high quality care. It is clean and welcoming inside and a very relaxing environment. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pain relief, relaxation, and/or self-care. Whether you're kama'aina or visiting, definitely book a session!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Phi Lan…read more I'm a veteran, and for years I dealt with constant back pain, monthly migraines, and other chronic issues. I had tried just about everything, and nothing really worked. After seeing Phi, my migraines are gone, my back pain is gone, and so many of my other issues have improved too. It honestly feels like a miracle. She's incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. If you're on the fence about trying acupuncture, I can't recommend Phi Lan enough.

Update review: I saw Phi Lan for a few months to treat my migraines. I was having them 1-2 times…read moreper week, and could be debilitating, depending on how severe they were. After the course of treatment, I now only get them maybe once a month or two! A HUGE improvement if you ask me. One particular treatment where I had an active migraine, I could literally feel the pain leave my head as she moved the needles down to transition their flow (prickly sensation) to my feet- it was WILD. Not only did she help reduce my head pain and frequency significantly, but she always presented a very warm and welcoming environment. I'm not entirely a fan of needles, but she eased me into it, and ensured I was comfortable thru out the process (the heated bed helps). She always asked how each needle felt, if it needed more or less pressure, and offered to check in on me halfway thru the treatment. She also did some cupping, which was new to me, and help ease the tension coming down my neck and shoulders. Front desk staff are nice too, they remember you after a few treatments. Definitely recommend Phi Lan for any migraine treatment! She's the best!

Last year in April of 2024 I sought help for some pain I was experiencing, I went and listened to Dr. Son explaining in detail of of what he hoped to accomplish with me and my challenging problems. I paid a whopping $12200 out of pocket for my upper back are ($1500), right knee ($1500), and my upper arms at ($1500). My lower back at $6750.00. The figures are as best that I can remember. Treatment consisted of taking huge 350 vials of blood and spinning them centrifugally and inserting them back into my body. Sometimes it was one or two, and sometimes 3. I got extremely dizzy after this and sometimes had to wait awhile until my body recovered until I felt better. There was one incident that I recall where they reinjected stem cells into my lower back and that was excruciating. I cried out in pain. During these visits sometimes it was done by Dr. Son (who is not an MD) but a chiropractor. There were two visits that I met a Dr. Charles Arakaki and the next time there was a doctor named Dr. Carlos Fernandez. Funny that I never saw them again. ALL OF THE TREATMENTS DID NOT WORK, I COMPLETED THE EXERCISES TO A T AND ALL FAILED!! At that point I stopped going, no sense in wasting my time as well as endure more pain. I went to my regular pain doctor and he immediately scheduled a procedure for me for the next day and I have been pain free for about 3 1/2 weeks. I later e mailed Dr. Son asking for my money back. He called me yesterday and said that he was unable to do so because of the paperwork that I signed. He went on and on to say that he complied with the intent of the scope of the immediate paperwork and could not refund me. I feel TAKEN advantage of. I am soon to be 74 years of age, gave him a big chunk of my money with NO PROMISED RESULTS. If anyone here who has had a similar issue with NexGen maybe we can all ge together and file a class action lawsuit. Hit me up and we'll discuss.
