Treatment Grounded in Personalized Holistic Healing

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.

Dr. Kellie Moore is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I don’t ever feel rushed when I meet with Dr. Kellie. She really takes time to dig into what could be the root underlying cause of symptoms. Her recommendations have greatly improved my conditions.

I have been seeing Dr. Maura for years now and I can’t say enough great things about her! She has completely healed me of my skin issues that I have been battling with for a very long time. What I love about her is that she takes the time to listen to you and genuinely cares for your well-being. She ran some tests on me to help pin point what could be causing some of my issues and put me on a customized plan of herbal supplements. Through this whole process I have learned so much about naturopathy and the importance of treating the cause of the disease vs. the symptoms. Dr. Maura is truly one of the best and I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for an all-natural approach to help heal the body.

My family loves Dr. Kelly Moore, she is an excellent professional, she is always available and answer our Emails, messages and works hard to provide the best you can have in terms of Medical diagnostics, and preventive treatment. We recommend Dr. Kelly Moore.

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.

Dr. Maura is one of the best naturopaths I've ever met! Very nice and helpful. She immediately knew how to help me! Thanks to her and her method of treatment I feel wonderful! I would like to add that I was cured of SIBO and I am in the process of treating a leaky gut! I would recommend to everyone! Barbara!

Dr. Lieb has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has helped me with my PCOS and I am now considered in remission for it. She's very thorough in her explanations and is always very receptive to any and all questions I have, whether it be about my PCOS or my health and well being in general. Highly recommend her and the entire Dr. Maura practice. Everyone here has been amazing to work with and always puts the client first.

Dr. Maura truly helped me a lot during the transition of quiting birth control pills (post birth control syndrome) and thankfully I had no undesired side effects of quiting birth control pill such as painful periods, or acne which was the case for me when I tried to quit birth control pill by myself before. She really knows the importance of hormonal harmony! She carefully checked my blood test results each time I visited her and she provided just enough guidance and supplements/herbal medicine to support and keep my balance. I truly appreciate her help and recommend her specifically who has concerns about quiting the birth control pill/ or post birth control syndrome.

I've worked with Dr. Patel for the last 5 months to address issues with my gut and GI track (primarily h. pylori) that have plagued me for more than a year. Before seeing him, I'd seen two gastroenterologists, a round of antibiotics and tried many internet fixes. Working with Dr. Patel was what finally gave me lasting relief. He is a great listener, thorough explained my issues, and set me on a comprehensive path for recovery. I still have work to do, but have the knowledge, tools, and a much better baseline now. Thank you!
