Digestive Wellness
The physiological system may also set off nondisease symptoms, such as malnutrition, in cases of nondisease conditions, such as cardiovascular problems and cancer. Other undesirable health outcomes that may result from gastrointestinal disorders stemming from such conditions may include heart disease, diabetes, and other types of cancer.
Digestive Help
Women’s Health & Hormones
Even our nutritional plans are unlikely to change our hormones to enable us to feel better on a healthy diet schedule, some biological processes may help us stay in our optimum ranges if our physical processes support our health goals. It is crucial to reach the physical goals by devising movement practices that fit our unique requirements as we enhance our fitness goals.
Women's Health
Fertility & Preconception Care
Making sure you’re healthy is essential to starting a family. Naturopathic medicine can help prepare your body for the challenges ahead.
Fertility Care
All Conditions Treated
People usually go to see a physician due to a single reason, so it can be challenging to cover all their needs, forcing them to change doctors more frequently. Changing home treatment takes time and might lead to more precarious health concerns. Frequent medical checkups enable patients to keep tabs on these issues.

Insurance is designed for transactions. We’re designed for transformation.
Flora Naturopathics is a cash-pay practice so we can provide deeply personalized, root-cause care without the restrictions of traditional insurance models. This allows for longer visits, thoughtful testing, and individualized treatment plans. HSA and FSA payments are accepted.
I started Flora after seeing patients with “normal” labs still feel unwell; not because nothing was wrong, but because care wasn’t looking deep enough. Flora is that next layer, using naturopathic medicine to find root causes, connect the whole body, and restore real, lasting balance.

Dr Ronak Patel had been a life saver. He’s the most compassionate doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting .I came to him at a loss and very frustrated with some ongoing unresolved health issues.To make a long story short I felt like my body was working against itself…attacking itself. Infection after infection…never ending antibiotic…I felt like I was living in a state of fight or flight. High cortisol…All while working with a hormone positive breast cancer diagnosis and new hormone blocker meds.He listened, he researched, he studies me and what I could and could not take with my cancer.I would highly recommend Dr. Patel.You won’t regret it.

Sabina H.
Working with Dr. Maura has been a delight in so many ways. As a 30 year old woman who has been dealing with thyroid,hormonal and digestive issues for over 10 years...I finally found a doctor I trust who can safely guide me in the right direction. Dr Maura asks questions about my well being and had me take a few hormone /mineral tests which helped to create an easy and doable treatment program. I am about two months into my regimen and for the first time in IDK how long, I have ovulated. My mood and energy has shifted to a place of more peace and calm and I am going to the bathroom daily! I'm thankful for people like her who actually care and view the body as a complete system. We dont realize how much vitality we are supposed to be feeling until we start healing and taking care of ourselves.

Esther S.
I began working with Dr. Patel 10 months ago for chronic GI problems. He had me complete several tests, from which it was learned that I had SIBO, leaky gut, and low T3 hormone. After years of working with conventional medicine doctors, who told me I seemed healthy or simply told me I had IBS, Dr. Patel finally identified the root causes of my severe GI issues. Dr. Patel proceeded to put me on an herbal SIBO protocol and prescribed me supplements to support my anxiety and thyroid problems. After several weeks with these new supplements, I noticed an improvement in my GI symptoms and anxiety. Additionally, Dr. Patel’s approach to chronic health problems is holistic, and he recommended I begin a program for reversing limbic system impairment in the brain, which is a driver of many chronic illnesses. At my last appointment with Dr. Patel, he introduced a supplement to improve leaky gut and prescribed me a hormone test. Overall, Dr. Patel seems to absolutely know what he is doing in dealing with chronic GI issues, and I am excited to continue working with him. If you are dealing with chronic GI problems that conventional doctors have failed to address, I highly recommend giving Dr. Patel a try.

I had a great experience with Dr. Patel. I came to him a few months after having Covid, with GI issues, anxiety and hormonal problems. He recommended appropriate testing, which revealed several underlying issues. Dr. Patel explained in depth the results of the testing, recommended several supplements which corrected the gut issues at the root of everything. I'm happy to report that I am completely back to my normal self!
