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??

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Sam went above and beyond to not only…read moreget to know me but to share local experiences with me while I was visiting. She checked in during my entire trip to see how I was doing. So let's talk about the actual Water Reiki! It was the most beautiful and soul seeking experience. She picked a beautiful ocean front in Hilo. There is always a potential for rain and she communicated that with me ahead of time. We were lucky and it was a gorgeous day. I walked up to a massage bed beautifully laid out with Sam's tools. I got comfortable and we discussed my goals. She had already made a handful of notes based on our earlier discussion and as to not give away all her magic, I will tell you my mind was blown with the gifts I received. We began our first session on land. Once completed, she moved me to a floating pad on the water. We were so lucky to have a Honu (turtle) share the water with us. Once our time there was complete, Sam and I chatted for quite some time and absorbed all the beauty we were in. We moved back to the land spot where she had a nice robe waiting for me to warm up in. We looked up my readings and I felt like she took so much care and extra time I could have spent all day with her. I look forward to making it a priority to have a treatment with Sam when visiting the Island. I recommend checking out their services it will be well worth your time and will absolutely enhance your experience in Hawaii.

I had an amazing Reiki experience with Sam. At first, I was nervous to meet with Sam because I was…read morevisiting and I wasn't familiar with the area. However, I was comforted by her raving reviews so I decided to trust the process. Like the reviews mention, Sam has a strong intuition and she shared exactly what I needed during my session. I still feel inspired and so grateful to have cross paths with her. I'll definitely schedule another session when I'm back on the 'aina & I would love to try her video sessions as well. Thanks Sam!

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 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

Her staff, including her daughter Amie, are wonderful, the grounds are wonderful, and she reinforced some important awarenesses about the connection between body, gut health, mental and spiritual health that I really needed to hear.

I was under her care for over a year while progressively getting sicker and weaker. I spent thousands of dollars on all of the latest procedures and supplements under her guidance. And she got all of the kickbacks. Honestly, I felt like a Guinea pig. Every week it was some new promising idea, food, drug, therapy, or supplement. She is an expert salesperson. Trouble was nothing was working. I was finally forced to go to the mainland to stay with my son for help. I spent a year in a wheelchair crippled, too weak to get the surgery I needed. Post surgery, 6 months of physical therapy. And now 2 years later, I am finally healthy and strong and doing absolutely nothing that she recommended. Also, they lost a medical specimen I had giving them and then blamed me because "well you left" Very unprofessional, she does not care about her patients. And Don, her partner and front desk man does not allow access to Sally. It's very difficult getting any help off hours or weekends. He can be very rude. Dr. Chris is much better imo

Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center is truly a magical place. I have learned so much about myself here. From being healthy and happy to balanced and free. With every ah-ha moment I experienced during my stay I could feel my energy and happiness growing stronger and stronger. I had the opportunity to get to know each person working at the retreat on a one on one basis. Although different in their roles, they are all beautiful people inside and out. All involved in doing amazing things to help others, including myself, find their health and their path in life. At the retreat I not only learned about the importance of nutrition and taking care of my body but I also learned a lot about the real me that was hiding behind my ailments. I feel part of an outstanding group of people whom I now consider to be my Hawaiian Family. Always greeting you with open arms, never judging and wanting to spread positive, healthy and happy energy to everyone they meet. I will always have a part of the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center family with me everywhere I go. I am eternally grateful for being part of this life changing retreat. Aloha and Mahalo

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.

I should not have been so surprised, given their dedication to great service, but she was amazing. If that procedure has ever given you anxiety, I highly recommend scheduling with Taylor. She's extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind. Absolutely the best service for medical care. Nothing is rushed and I always feel heard.

At this point, I was pretty desperate and thought that I could find someone else a bit quicker, so I declined to reschedule and asked that they destroy my paperwork (4 or 5 pages of personal medical history). I found a doctor (actually APRN) that I love and went my merry way. Then my APRN became sick and my intestinal issues returned. I thought that I would retry to get into the Koa Clinic. When I attempted to become a new patient, I was refused because I had refused to reschedule my appointment in March of 2024. Furthermore, during the text exchange (they do not answer phone calls) it became apparent that they still have my files in their records. I will be driving 2-1/2 hours to Hilo for treatment.
