Comprehensive Naturopathic Telehealth Medicine in Ann Arbor

As someone who has struggled with nebulous stomach problems for 15 years (since I was nine), and seen numerous other doctors and tried various kinds of medicine, I cannot recommend functional/holistic medicine enough as a great way to get to the root of the health issue. Dr Patel is a phenomenal practitioner who has helped me over the last seven months go from only being able to tolerate certain foods to being able to eat a range of things without my stomach causing me pain. My favorite parts about this is the relative affordability of treatment (medicine is fairly inexpensive) and how Dr Patel would walk me through the labs and help me understand what each marker means, and the best way to improve those things. I truly felt that Dr Patel gave me the right treatment when other doctors would not, and I am not exaggerating when I say that 15 years of discomfort due to my health issues may be coming to an end under Dr Patel’s supervision. I highly recommend him for GI/autoimmune issues. Thanks Dr Patel! You rock!

Dr. Lieb has been wonderful to work with. I suffer from IBD, IBS, anxiety, and some periods of pressure headaches. Blood results from GP normal, so my friend recommended I try functional medicine to try and help me feel better. Dr. Lieb has been incredibly thorough and my IBS and headaches have significantly improved due to her recommendations. I am now taking a few supplements when I wasn’t taking any before because I didn’t know what would best suit me. It’s very expensive because functional medicine not covered by insurance but for me, completely worth the money. I encourage you to contact this practice if you want to feel better.

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.

Dr. Patel is awesome! I’ve been working with him for about a month and results are already showing in my skin and gut. He listens and explains things clearly so I feel like I truly understand what is going on. Highly recommend!

So happy I discovered Dr. Patel. You can tell he genuinely cares about your health and is always a pleasure to speak to, especially when compared to some of the more traditional doctors. After two years of feeling bloated and excessive flatulence, i discovered I had SIBO with Dr. Patel. Within 3 months, I am back to eating all the foods i missed. My only complaint are the prices, but hard to put a price on your health!

I originally saw Dr Maura a few months ago for cystic acne. As soon we began talking I knew I was in the right place. Dr Maura took the time to listen to my concerns and asked several questions that other doctors had not. Dr Maura asked me to take a couple of simple at home tests to provide more clues to what was going on. We spoke a few weeks later and Dr Maura had developed a personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. Under Dr Maura’s guidance I began a natural approach to clearing my skin. This included lifestyle adjustments, dietary recommendations, and a few supplements. Not only did my acne disappear within a month but my overall skin health dramatically improved. My confidence is back and my hair looks healthier as well. I’m forever grateful Dr Maura’s expertise, compassion, and dedication while helping me achieve my goals all in natural way. I absolutely recommend this incredible doctor to anyone looking for a long lasting solution to their skin concerns.

I've had the best experience with Dr. Patel. He is patient and extremely informative. He explains things very well so that anyone could understand. He has helped me so much! Highly recommend.

Dr. Patel has been such a pleasure! I've been dealing with bad digestive issues/SIBO for years now and Dr. Patel is the first doctor to really listen to my symptoms and help work through different solutions with me.

I looked for a naturopathic doctor near me (NY) to get to the bottom of my GI issues (the usual nasty GI symptoms which I won't go into detail about, but for anyone who's had them, you know what I mean), which were also causing some serious secondary issues--namely food sensitivities (swollen face, itchy skin rashes, ugh). I I know a lot about conventional doctors because I've often seen elderly family members go to doctors & hospitals who prescribe too many prescription drugs. From their experiences, I learned a lot about the limitations and downside of conventional medicine.That's why I did not want to go to a conventional doctor because they know next to nothing about nutrition (they only receive 4 hours of training in nutrition during their entire medical education), and they usually know nothing at all about natural healing (because they've been programed to push pharmaceuticals). When I found Dr. Patel (the GI specialist in Dr. Maura's practice), right away in our first consultation (1 full hour), I had a good impression. Dr. Patel is eloquent and has an easygoing manner. He explained everything to me clearly and succinctly, answered all of my MANY questions, and then told me how to proceed. His office staff (Shellie) is delightfully easy to reach by phone. She is refreshingly efficient and has always responded to my calls and emails immediately and always to my complete satisfaction. Awesome! She gets 5 stars from me, too! So she sent me the kits for the 2 tests he prescribed (the poop test and saliva test, both which I could do from home), as well as all the materials I needed to send the tests to the various labs (packaging & mailing labels, which made it really easy for me). She also sent me the requisition for the blood test--for that I had to find and go to a lab--Dr. Patel recommended 3, and I used the one that was the least expensive). After he got the test results (after about 1 week), we had another consultation (1/2 hour) in which he identified and described the problems I had--I won't go into detail except to say that one of the issues was microbial parasites (yikes!), which I've since learned is quite common, maybe 50% of Americans have them, without knowing it--you can get them from contaminated food or water, so if you eat out a lot (like I used to) and you've got GI issues, you've probably got parasites! If you have any GI issues (such as frequent loose bowels), the FIRST thing you should do is to check for parasites. Conventional doctors rarely test for parasites. Go figure. I followed Dr. Patel's advice STRICTLY and felt much better within one week (i.e., no more GI distress). After one month, I felt completely cured, and after 3 months I felt great! Everyone tells me I look great, too! I keep getting compliments. His program is easy: he prescribed several natural supplements and a diet plan--that's all. Painless and without pharmaceuticals (prescription drugs always have nasty side effects, which is why I don't want to use them). Plus, from the test results (he's an experienced "lab guy" and interpreted those lab reports like Derek Jeter played shortstop--For those of you who don't know baseball, that means he's not just good, he's great at it), he identified OTHER potential health issues which up until then I had NO idea about (thyroid & blood sugar levels, yikes!), which I feel I've nipped in the bud, thanks to Dr. Patel! Another plus: Consultations were always very conveniently held via Zoom and on time--I absolutely despise having to waste my time in conventional doctors' waiting rooms--they never see you at at the scheduled time, but only when they're ready to see you. The only downside about any naturopathic doctor is that your health insurance provider may not pay for all or perhaps any of it. My advice: If you have the money, IT'S WORTH IT. You'll only have to do the program once. You heal, and you also learn about how to stay healthy. That is invaluable.
