Dr. Aimee Shunney is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable on the latest hormone balancing…read moretreatments and women's health. She spent plenty of time with my initial evaluation was very thorough. She ordered lab tests specific to my needs and was able to address my concerns. I had gone through a few other naturopaths and I feel their treatments were based on generalizations. Dr. Shunney was also quick to respond to my emails and seemed to be much more available. Dr. Shunney also presents stimulating and informative lectures to the community; most recent was on hormone balancing. I also appreciate Santa Cruz Integrative Health as a wonderful resource for referring complementary treatments such as chiropractic, acupuncture , massage, etc. They truly are integrative! I feel well taken care-of. I have finally found the right naturopath, you are greatly appreciated. Thank you Dr. Shunney!!

Having been a chiropractor for over 20 years, I know about non-pharmaceutical-driven healthcare…read more The integrative medicine practiced by Rachel Abrams MD is the future of healthcare, and she is a shining star in that discipline. Rachel excels at determining exactly which lab tests to order, how to interpret them, and then how to prescribe the best supplements to correct the problem. She is especially adept at resolving hormonal issues and cholesterol problems, but can handle any medical problem, and especially preventative care. However, she is also there with a hug at the right time when needed. She is brilliant, caring, and very kind-hearted, and this comes through in her holistic approach. Rachel really helped me and gave me my quality of life back. She listens and takes the time to get to the real root of the problem. I truly trust her and her body of knowledge and can't I imagine not receiving this kind of healthcare. I am super happy with the high-quality healthcare I am getting from Rachel. The only downside to Rachel's practice is that her office does not bill insurance plans and she is not a preferred provider on PPO plans and is not on any HMO plans, so she is out of network. However, this is understandable given that dealing with insurance companies is an unpleasant, full-time job. Therefore, her services are expensive, but are worth it, so overall it's a good value. When it comes to your health, it's really worth it. If you just want to take a pill for the rest of your life and are OK with all of the possible side effects, then integrative medicine is probably not for you. However, if you want to be able to spend quality time with your doctor and be able to talk to and work with your doctor to get to the root of the problem and solve it, and not just mask the symptoms, then Rachel is who you want to see for your healthcare.

REALLY positive experience with Dr. Culver. I have a long list of medical issues and I was seen by…read moreher since my primary doc was not available. She was on time, got a FULL medical history on me before coming to any conclusions, and the part that made me want to cry-- when she didn't know the answer to something, she admitted it and was willing to do more research! That last part is like music to my ears after being misdiagnosed for years, being brushed off, or told it's just normal female problems. She listened and actually HEARD me instead of just waiting for her turn to speak. I left feeling respected, cared for, and hopeful. She never made me feel like I was a burden for having so many different medical issues at once. I wish more doctors were this compassionate and non-egotistical. It's frustrating enough to deal with all of these maladies-- it takes a one in a million doctor to sort through all of my chart info and somehow ease my frustrations a bit. Dr. Culver, THANK YOU, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart!

Do I wish it was easier to get an appointment with her when something comes up and I need one? Absolutely. But I also would rather wait to see her than see someone else, because the quality of the care is excellent. I've been a patient for 5 years and will continue to be. I don't find the office staff to be very helpful, but I don't believe that is a reflection of the doctor as many doctors work out of that office.

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us. He's made a big positive impact on my family.

I was able to get an appointment within a few days. The front desk staff is very friendly and they are great at communicating with me -- they call back when they say they will, and they take the time to explain things thoroughly. I never had to call for a follow-up appointment. They called ME. The medical assistant who took my vitals (I can't remember her name) was friendly and professional (even though my appointment was on a Friday at the end of the day). Dr. Atkins has a great manner. I felt like she really listened to me. And she didn't make me feel bad about my life choices (junk food eating, non-exercising workaholic). She gave me the information and hope to turn my health around. I have a lot of work to do, but I feel empowered and optimistic.

If just 20% of Doctor's were as professional and competent as her, this world would be a much better place.

I am not one that reviews often; I save my energy, usually, for happy and positive stuff. I was…read morejust reading some of the nasty reviews on her page, and I feel terrible for how it seems that the internet can be a tough place. People review when they are MAD, more than when they're satisfied. I would imagine that it's even tougher when your clientele is, by nature, in need of mental health advice. I feel compelled to tell MY truth! I've been really frustrated with myself, secretly, about my lack of focus and constantly being distracted for years now. It seemed to get worse "cuz COVID". Dr. B and I met and she went through some testing, and from the data received, she was very cautious about how to treat what I was seeking help for. She discussed carefully her initial diagnosis, and talked about the ways to treat. She made it clear that some medications have risks of addiction, etc. and wasn't trying to do anything other than inform me and provide caution. She asked me how I felt about prescription treatments, and what my history was with things like this. She was digging deep to ensure that we were doing the right thing and that I was comfortable - that's what it felt like to me. She started me with very low doses of the chosen med. She was careful. Concerned about the result with my day-to-day life as her main goal. She felt conservative to me with the medications, frankly, and I really like how concerned she seems about not only treating things appropriately, but also counseling me on "normal" day-to-day, non-medication practices to help me focus. So, I'm sorry that some felt poorly handled, treated etc., but I'd hope that people would see through that and talk to Dr. B before throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Dr. B is a good egg. She has changed my life and I find her to be a very, very careful and thoughtful practitioner, and I'm grateful that I'm working with her. I'm a big fan.

Dr Catherine Borchart for me is a mixed bag - because she's not a bad psychiatrist by any means…read more She was the one who initially suspected I might have ADHD which went under the radar for years due to the fact I also likely have Autism as well (as of right now I am still undiagnosed but I am working with a different doctor to get this done!). But...as the other reviews here have indicated she is extremely honest, very blunt, and doesn't sugar coat anything. And I do mean anything. Not only is she an extremely just woman but she tells it exactly like it is. Which makes it extremely nerve wracking to be upfront with her due to her direct nature which often times comes across as extremely passive aggressive or sometimes even demeaning. She means well but I haven't seen her in about four years mostly for this reason. Nor do I particularly want to. I do recall one review suggesting having a therapist in addition to her if you decide to see her as a psychiatrist and I do recommend this as well. Because while she is excellent with medication and getting to the heart of what might be the problem - far more than the previous psychiatrist I once had. Talking to her about yourself is a major undertaking. Don't go to her expecting someone who will offer you much sympathy in regard to what problems you have - particularly when they are your problems to deal with because she doesn't have a lot it. I don't want to go so far as to claim she has none of it but handling what you put forth gently is just not something she does. Her main defining quality is her honesty. A good example of this that isn't too personal is when she told me "you will never be a professional screenwriter if you can't handle multiple pressures at once". (Screenwriting is not my primary long term goal anymore but something in film which I won't share here certainly still is and I still have a few prominent tv show ideas that may still get made...or not if what she said is actually true). And while again I didn't want to be too personal with this review I did also want to say - partially because I know she reads these that I tend to ruminate a lot and her harsh criticisms have stayed with me. I replay them a lot in my head. Whether or not this is for better of worse is up for you to decide. But again I would strongly consider you think over this and the other critical reviews of her before booking an appointment.
