I can confidently say finding Dr. Patel at Flora Naturopathics changed my life and I don’t say that lightly. A few years ago, seemingly out of nowhere, my body felt like it had turned against me, even though my lifestyle hadn’t changed and I was already taking good care of myself. I suddenly developed rapid, unexplained weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, inconsistent periods, spotting, skin hives, and the return of stubborn acne. I went to every traditional doctor you can imagine (primary care, dermatologist, gynecologist, gastroenterologist, endocrinologist) and all I ever got were prescriptions and dismissive advice. Each visit ended with, “try this pill,” and a focus on my BMI instead of the long list of other symptoms I was experiencing. Then, after discovering holistic and functional medicine on TikTok, something clicked. I spent weeks researching and trying to find a practice near me that was similar to the ones I saw people talk about online. There weren’t many options nearby, and most I found leaned toward traditional wellness practices like acupuncture and yoga, rather than a science-based approach with real testing. Then I came across Flora Naturopathics. I was nervous at first financially investing in something I wasn’t sure would work (especially after being “blown off” by so many other doctors) and not knowing anyone personally who had gone this route. But taking that leap was the best decision I’ve made for my health. During my very first appointment, Dr. Patel spent a full hour (something you rarely get in traditional medicine) truly listening to me. He didn’t dismiss my concerns or rush through my story. He connected the dots between all my symptoms and created a personalized plan for testing that was both thorough and financially mindful. Within just a few months of being tested and getting treated, everything changed. My acne (which I’d battled since age 13 through medications, facials, endless creams, etc) finally cleared up. The mysterious weight melted off. My energy came back. And even my lifelong stomach sensitivity issues disappeared. For the first time in years, I felt like myself again. If you’ve been dismissed, brushed off, or told “everything looks normal” when you know something’s not right please go to Flora Naturopathics. They are compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly care about finding the why behind your symptoms, guiding you toward natural, lasting healing rather than just masking issues with medications. I’ve already referred multiple friends, and I’ll continue recommending them to anyone who wants to actually heal, not just manage symptoms.
