Dr Anna hits both marks and also happens to be very caring, smart, efficient. She reviewed my bloodwork (at a very reasonable price) and made suggestions during our initial phone consultation. She sent me a list of prescriptions (mostly over the counter supplements) and ordered them for me at a price point equal to or below amazon (couldn't believe that still exists). She patiently answered many follow-up questions and checked in to see how I was progressing. She's given me ongoing support and I've since referred several friends and family members to her. Highly recommended!

"YOU PROBABLY HAVE HORMONAL ACNE"... everyone would tell me. But what do I do about it!? I've tried…read moreeverything, I told them. I was 28 years old with a chin full of huge cystic acne red pimples. All my friends considered me the healthiest eater and would workout every day, so none of this made sense to me. I would wake up extra early to cover up everything in makeup. Inside I was depressed and sad and would cry every few weeks when more pimples would show up. I would say no to social events because I didn't want to be seen like that. I was throwing away money on new natural remedies I found on youtube. Nothing was working. Finally, I was connected to Nourish Medical Center and rescued by the incredible Dr. DJ Sims. SHE CHANGED MY LIFE. After about 4-6 months (I had some serious hormonal imbalances), I NO LONGER HAVE ACNE. MY FACE IS SMOOTH AND CLEAR! I remember reading other people's reviews of them saying they no longer have acne and wishing and praying I would get to the day where I could write the same review. And here I am. It will be all be okay, I promise. You will get there too! :) First of all, you don't need to live in San Diego to see these doctors. They do zoom which is awesome! Nourish Medical is a dream doctor's office. The staff is so sweet and you always feel taken care of. Now let me talk about Dr. DJ Sims - the best naturopathic acne doctor ever. She is so friendly, fun, extremely knowledgable and so easy to talk to. She makes you feel heard (our appointments are usually 1 hour, once a month) unlike regular doctors who push you out the door after 3 minutes. She gets down to the ROOT of the issues you're having and prescribes special herbs & supplements to tackle those specific issues. She gave me an amazing hormonal urine test (called the Dutch test) which told us my hormones were out of whack. She also TEACHES you why these things are happening to your body (for me, birth control and years of antibiotics were a leading cause) and what the specific herbs will do to help my body. I have learned SO MUCH about the body and feel like I have the tools to treat myself in the future if I ever have flare ups. Yes, naturopathic doctors are expensive. AND YES THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY. If you feel hopeless, out of options and not yourself anymore... do yourself a favor and call the office. My happiness and confidence are back and I finally feel like myself again! THANK YOU TO NOURISH MEDICAL :)

I was referred to Nourish by a friend. I browsed their web site and read over the 'Providers and…read moreStaff' bios to try and decide which doctor I wanted to see based on my needs. Honestly, it was a bit of a shot in the dark. Prices of visits vary depending on who you see. I called to make an appointment, and was disappointed to find out it was about 3 months before I could get in. I was called and offered an earlier appointment when someone else cancelled, but I couldn't make it, so I stuck with my original appointment time. The front desk staff were always pleasant when I interacted with them. You have the option to visit in person or through an on-line virtual video visit. For my first visit, I decided to go in-person as I wanted to make a connection with the doctor and for her to really "see me". The office is very clean, modern and upscale, although not 'cold and clinical'. The decor colors are welcoming and serene. There is a waiting room and then you're called back to your doctor's office and you walk through a common area with a large table. There's a small restroom and a phlebotomist's room. I left after my first visit (which was about an hour) with my head spinning slightly as I felt like I had some 'homework' to do before my next visit. This included downloading an app, through which to order supplements and ordering said supplements. Organizing getting bloodwork (which, after some research turned out to be less expensive through a 3rd party lab, not through the Nourish phlebotomist), ordering a prescription through a compound pharmacy and purchasing and utilizing a continual glucose monitor through another retail outlet. While wearing the monitor, I had to enter any food consumed and any exercise activity into the glucose monitor app. Communication with your Nourish doctor is done through a 'patient portal'. Any messages I sent were usually answered within a couple of days. I also called the front desk a few times with questions. For my second visit, I chose the convenience of meeting virtually on-line to save the commute time. This visit was about 40 minutes, done through the portal. The doctor I chose was professional, knowledgeable and pleasant, but not particularly warm and bubbly. She didn't smile much. Not a lot of pleasantries like , 'How was your summer?' or 'How was the drive here?' or whatever, just strictly down to business. That's OK, but I like a little bit more of a friendlier/interactive bedside manner. Between two visits, some bloodwork (outside my provider network), several supplements, a compound pharmacy prescription and mail delivery, plus purchasing a glucose monitor, (also out of my provider network), I spent just over $1,100. After my second visit, it kind of occurred to me that the operation relies a little heavily on the recommendation of supplements which you order through a portal they suggest -- obviously they make a commission. (I was told by the front desk to 'Not order through Amazon'!) I didn't feel like the first set of supplements had done much, so I decided not to order the second set that was suggested. I felt I was given very minimal nutritional advice. I'm glad I gave Nourish and naturopathy a try and I was pleased that I was tested/monitored for things that my regular medical provider wouldn't bother testing for, however, ultimately I didn't feel like it solved much for me. There is free on-site parking.

At my first visit Dr. Martinez talked through all my crazy symptoms for 2 hours! I was a mess. But after changing my diet dramatically, discovering some major vitamin deficiencies and hormone imbalances, adding supplements and having someone care about my wellness instead of just fixing symptoms, I am slowly getting better. I sleep soundly most nights, my appetite has retuned, I can make it through the day with energy, and my mood is lifting. I actually WANT to do things again. It has not been an easy road. Detoxing was awful. And Dr. Martinez and the the staff at Nourish, Mimi, Faith, Dr. Gelman, and Murray the office dog all helped me through. Even just giving me a hug when I didn't think I'd ever get better. I can't say enough for Dr. Martinez and everyone at Nourish! You not only helped me get my life and vitality and joy back, but I'm learning to live a much healthier life to stay that way!! I can never thank you enough.

I am now 30, and I want to share my experience with Dr. Rozita and Erica her assistant. The diet changes and blood test were super helpful! I didn't realize how toxic my high sugar diet was affecting my body. I was planning on losing my job and my car because I was too sick to work. Thank God I was able to get helpful guidance from Dr. Rozita. I got back into plant-based proteins and foods that power my body optimally while still enjoying some meat. My digestive system is working much better in certain ways and I started to feel happy again not being so sick. Admittedly I modified her diet suggestions a little bit to keep my sanity LOL and Caloric density at a level I personally needed but without God allowing her to show me a better way of eating, I would have been a lost cause. When I got my blood test results I was not surprised by what I saw but I felt peace that even though it was expensive, I got some helpful information that I can take personal action on with diet and supplementation for Vitamin D. Thank you Dr. Rozita for your help and thank you Erica for being so gentle with the needle when doing the Myers Cocktail IV therapy.

Dr Rozita is a thorough naturopath. I reached out to her when symptoms of a norovirus lasted 3…read moreweeks rather than 3 days. She had comprehensive lab panels done. I told her that my primary doctor did that already, she assured me she was adding in things they didn't choose to look at. Then when my primary doctor reviewed their labs, they said everything was fine. The results came back from the more comprehensive panels that Dr Rozita ordered and lo and behold, there were a number of underlying problems that caused the norovirus to take so long to clear, and she gave me a customized suite of supplements and medications to address those underlying issues. I can't recommend her enough, she really looks at the whole person and bases care on 'all' the data, not just what the insurance company chooses to pay for. It's really disappointing that I have 'good' insurance, and am going to competent western medical professionals, but our abdication of care to the payor is just not healthy, figuratively and literally. I feel blessed I found Dr Rozita.

That was a minimum of two hours and charged 10 dollars for it. My appointment was only 50 minutes. My advice is to arrive early. About 15 minutes early just to find parking. To get to the office, either climb the 3 floors or take the elevator. They are to the left when you enter the place. There are maybe 100 different businesses in the structure. Oasis is at door 301. They have a mat outside their door with their name on it. We had a nice conversation with the doctor. They were patient, caring, and inquisitive. Made us feel like they were invested in our well-being and not just in our wallet. We chatted about what a nutritional program would look like. About hormonal care. About detox. And about lifestyle changes. Still trying to figure out if we'll go with this office. One of our concerns is about culturally responsive care as the staff are mostly white but they certainly made a compelling pitch.
