Comprehensive Naturopathic Telehealth Medicine in Rochester

Dr. Maura Henninger is hands-down the best naturopathic doctor in the tristate area — and arguably one of the best doctors of any kind that you're going to find. I came to her with a number of health issues including digestive symptoms that no doctor (including Mayo Clinic) could figure out, as well as autoimmune diagnoses. After about six months of working with her, I am virtually symptom-free. Sort of a miracle. I don't usually write reviews, but Dr. Maura's professionalism, expertise and seemingly singular knowledge rate her a cut above the rest. Working with her costs more than going through insurance but my health problems used to consume me and they don't anymore. That is worth every single penny. It's truly invaluable having a doctor who understands my entire health picture. I'm a patient for life as are many of my friends and family. Highest recommendation.

I consulted Dr. Patel after experiencing extreme bloating, to the extent that my stomach was distended, making me look as if I were three months pregnant. Prior to seeing him, I had been diagnosed with SIBO by a functional medicine doctor, who prescribed supplements and a specific diet. Unfortunately, my condition worsened over time. Searching for alternatives, I discovered Dr. Patel on Google and decided to give his services a try. Dr. Patel approached my situation with exceptional thoroughness, conducting comprehensive tests to identify the root cause of my symptoms. He suggested checking for fibroids, which led to the discovery and subsequent surgical removal of two 10-inch fibroids. Moreover, he addressed the underlying hormonal imbalances contributing to my health issues. Four months into treatment, I've regained my energy, lost weight, and essentially got my life back. The difference in how I feel now compared to before is like night and day, and I am profoundly grateful for his care. I am continuing to work with Dr. Patel to further optimize my health. Having consulted numerous functional and alternative medicine practitioners in the past, I can affirm that Dr. Patel stands out as the real deal. He is not only knowledgeable but also invests time in educating his patients. His holistic approach encompasses nutrition, fitness, mental well-being, and supplementation. Dr. Patel is patient, compassionate, and personable, truly restoring my faith in the medical community. If you are struggling with unresolved health issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Patel. He may very well be the answer you've been searching for!

Dr. Maura is amazing. She's warm, attentive, and truly treats the whole body. Since working with her I've resolved lifelong stomach issues, improved my energy, identified food allergies and vitamin deficiencies I never knew I had. I've truly never felt better. Working with Doctor Maura has been truly transformative for everything from my mood, to my skin to my overall well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Maura to EVERYONE!!

I have been living with multiple chronic illnesses since childhood. When I began to really take my health into my own hands in the last four to five years, I found that a combination of Western medicine and Eastern holistic practices significantly helped my symptoms and quality of life. I feel so grateful that I found Dr. Maura. Her practice has been pivotal in providing support to my body, so my body can support itself.

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.

I wish I had found her years ago! I’ve only been working with her for about 6 months, and I’ve seen so much improvement in my symptoms already! I’ve read a ton of books about functional medicine and thought I could “fix” myself on my own—but I didn’t realize how I would just be wasting time and resources. Also, all the heartache when I tried something and it didn’t work, and all the confusion about what to try next. In hindsight, I would’ve been better off working with a professional sooner. Dr. Maura discovered something in my test results that wasn’t even on my radar; so I know that would’ve been an additional delay in my healing, had I not reached out to her. She is the real deal—she’s very knowledgeable, and kind—also she doesn’t judge, she doesn’t overwhelm, and the process for obtaining care is very easy—all via zoom and mail. Her services are not covered by insurance, BUT our health is literally priceless. If we don’t have that, we cannot live life. In fact, I also will be “taking” my 11 year old daughter who suffers from stomach issues to Dr. Maura. And I’ve recommended her to so many people. I love reading google reviews and so I hope this helps you make your decision about Dr. Maura, in the same way that others’ reviews helped me to make my excellent decision. Best wishes to you for good health!

Dr Maura is an amazing doctor and has been treating me for almost two years now. She is extremely professional, caring and smart. She has helped me manage pain naturally and it has made a huge difference in my life.

Let's start with the obvious - Dr. Maura is a bonafide expert in the field of naturopatic medicine, and runs a highly successful practice in the heart of New York City. What is not immediately apparent is her customized approach to each patient, the compassionate nature of her work, and the thoughtful process she applies to a field she clearly loves.

Once I got off of hormonal birth control after being on it for 10 years I experienced some serious adult acne along with chronic fatigue and all around hormonal imbalance. I knew traditional medicine specialists would only recommend I got back on the pill or for me to start medication, so that was when I found Dr. Lieb. I’ve had about 5 visits with her thus far and the symptoms I was experiencing months ago have seriously improved. Utilizing a variety of tests has definitely prevented the guessing game and provided me with real results to go off of. So happy I chose this route and would recommend anyone experiencing similar issues to see Dr. Lieb!
