Your body heals over time, and you are supported at every point along the way. We check in, adjust your plan as needed, repeat labs when appropriate, and celebrate the changes you begin to feel. Many patients notice improvements in:
- Digestion
- Skin health
- Mood and mental clarity
- Cycles and hormonal balance
- Sleep and energy
- Confidence and connection with their body
You do not have to navigate your healing alone.

Rachma M.
I am grateful to be able to work on my issue with Doctor Maura during my transition from Indonesia to the states, with variety of hormonal issues that took a toll on me since early this year, at to the point of now, I am in a much better place with a continuation plan to keep maintaining healthy balance life. First time I've had consultation with her, I felt more hopeful about my health issue and I thought it was a rare quality that resonated from her. She has helped me to navigate my desire to maintain my physical and mental health with more natural way through nutrition, supplements and physical activities that more suited with me. I am so thankful for her support and I do recommended her to anyone who has a similar issue as I do.

Ingie E.
Dr Maura has turned my life around! I started seeing her a couple years ago when my skin was basically screaming for help, and nothing else was working. Our first session was very thorough and we had a plan to diagnose and figure out the root cause right off the bat. With home test kits it was all super easy, even at the peak of COVID. It took a lot of work and patience but within 4-6 months I was seeing dramatic changes in my skin - and almost two years later I’m still doing pretty well! What I love about her is her realistic approach. She also thoroughly explains her thought process and suggested solutions for everything. I’m so glad I crossed paths with her and am grateful for her support and expertise. I’d recommend Dr Maura to anyone who is struggling with hormonal imbalance (esp. acne) or gut-related issues.

Rebecca o.
I started seeing Dr. Maura last May as I was having on going stomach/ gut issues for most of my adult life. After working with her and closely following her plan for 5-6 months, I can officially say my stomach issues have subsided. I had seen multiple gastroenterologists in the past and had tried many elimination diets but I love food and cooking and this was not the route for me. Dr Maura worked to identify the foods causing my issues and we came up with a plan so that I would ultimately be able to reintroduce those trigger foods over time. The plan worked and now I have reintroduced all foods back into my diet! Highly recommend working with her 🙂 She is super knowledgeable and understanding.

I have been working with Dr Patel for the last six months after becoming frustrated with traditional doctors invalidating the stomach issues I was experiencing. Dr Patel listened to my concerns and prescribed several at home tests to get to the root of the problem. With his plan of supplements to repair my gut and regulate my hormones, I have seen profound improvements in my inflammation levels and general well being. I highly recommend Dr Patel!

Ritika K.
In an extremely difficult year for my health, I am immensely grateful to Dr. Patel for his outstanding care. I began seeing Dr. Patel in June after being diagnosed with several chronic digestive issues (gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis, GERD) and learning about naturopathic medicine online. When it came to my first session, Dr. Patel was very attentive in listening to my concerns. I shared the symptoms I was dealing with such as intense nausea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, and headaches. He took the time to address not only my overall GI issues but also other aspects of my health and lifestyle that could be improved. Dr. Patel also went in depth in explaining the potential root causes of my chronic conditions and providing several approaches on how to best optimize my healing. As a result, he created an individualized, holistic treatment plan specific to me which consisted of supplements, unique testing, lifestyle changes, stress management, anti-inflammatory remedies, and maintaining my strict elimination diet. Because of Dr. Patel’s kind and understanding nature, he expressed sincerity for my overall physical and mental wellbeing and made me feel comfortable, respected, and valued as a patient. With each follow-up appointment, I was making greater improvements than the last. Dr. Patel continued to be engaged and dedicated to my recovery and made adjustments to my treatment plan as needed. With his extensive knowledge, he guided me in my treatment process through teamwork and empathetic communication. In addition, Dr. Patel’s constant support and encouragement was something I really appreciated as he made it a point to acknowledge my perseverance and accomplishments during every meeting. Six months into Dr. Patel’s treatment plan and I have made significant progress in all areas of my health and wellbeing. I have been able to slowly reincorporate and eat the different kinds of foods I could enjoy before while also adopting a cleaner, more well-rounded diet that I plan to follow long term. The healthier lifestyle changes I have put into practice has helped me feel more balanced and greatly repaired my relationship with my body. With 2021 coming to a close, I am finally experiencing positive health days and feeling happy with the state of my physical and mental wellbeing. My journey to healing has been transformative, teaching me that your health is the biggest, if not, most important investment you could make. Taking responsibility of your health involves hard work and patience, but the outcome of overcoming your health challenges is worth the efforts. If you are dealing with similar and/or any other type of chronic health issues, I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his care approach because everyone deserves to feel good and achieve good health. And, after experiencing many incredibly tough days, I can now enjoy the holidays and transition into the new year on an uplifting and hopeful note. Thank you Dr. Patel for your ongoing commitment to my healing and wellness!

Lucas V.
I was introduced to Dr. Maura Henninger by a trusted doctor, and reached out to Dr. Henninger because I had increasingly difficult digestive issues that became disruptive to my lifestyle. After a few tests Dr. Henninger was able to determine the cause of my issues, and explained the treatment approach. After 6-9 months I feel as good as I have in recent memory, possibly the best I've felt my adult life. Dr. Henninger's approach is naturopathic, so it's not going to be as invasive as other approaches, but as a result it's not going to happen in a matter of days or weeks. If you take this approach you should be prepared to remain diligent and dedicated to the approach, but know that in the long run it will work out well. Personally I found Dr. Henninger easy to work with and an easy going personality. I've recommended her to multiple friends/colleagues.
