After nearly 10 years of struggling with persistent acne; trying everything from doxycycline to Accutane, two drugs that affected me negatively - I had nearly given up. Every treatment I tried felt like it was only masking the symptoms, not addressing the root issue. Then I found Dr. Elise, and everything changed.
From our very first session, I knew this experience would be different. She asked the most in-depth, thoughtful questions I've ever been asked by a healthcare provider. Questions that went far beyond my skin -- touching on my gut health, specifically what I'm eating, my emotions, stress levels, and patterns in my daily life. No other doctor had ever looked at me so holistically.
It turns out the issue was rooted in my gut all along. With Elise's care and guidance, my skin cleared up in just six months. But even more than the physical results, I walked away with a completely new perspective on what it means to truly consult someone about your health.
If you're looking for someone who will treat you, not just your symptoms, and who actually gets to the root cause -- I cannot recommend Elise enough. She changed my life. read more
