Our Expert Telehealth Naturopathic Team

I decided to consult a naturopathic doctor after struggling with a hormonal imbalance for years. I had already seen other conventional doctors who always pushed several medications which I knew would never solve the actual source of the problem within my body. While I had changed my diet and made several lifestyle changes on my own already, I still struggled with keeping my labs and bloodwork results in check. I began searching for naturopathic doctors in my area and came across Dr. Maura's website. After reading such great reviews, I decided to seek her guidance and I am SO glad I did!! Not only does Dr. Maura take the time to truly learn about your health ailments, lifestyle, habits, concerns, etc., she comes up with an individual plan tailored just for YOU. I was initially nervous on how effective our telephone calls would be in the middle of a pandemic, but from the first phone call, Dr. Maura made me feel comfortable as if I was sitting face to face right in her office. We set up a plan for me to follow for about 3 months and at our 3 month check-in we redid my blood work. I was completely shocked to see all of my results came back normal without any trace of hormonal issues AT ALL. Within 3 short months, Dr. Maura was able to fix an issue that I had been dealing with for YEARS. I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for her expertise and true dedication to helping her clients better their overall health. I would without a doubt recommend her to anybody interested in consulting a naturopathic doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to talk to! Also huge thanks to Shelli for being such a great help as well!

I've been working for Dr. Patel for several months now—ever since my daughter talked me into trying a functional health practitioner. I have been absolutely delighted by the results I've achieved with Dr. Patel's guidance on everything from supplements to nutrition and exercise. The great thing about functional health is that, through regular testing, you can track your improvements on various markers; and my improvements have been incredibly encouraging. I'm a big fan of Dr. Patel and his thoughtful approach to optimizing health rather than waiting to treat disease downstream. My whole family works with him now; and I've recommended Dr. Patel to extended family members as well. Very, very highly recommended!

After several years of chronic gut issues while at the same time getting no satisfaction from traditional medicine (all telling me I am as healthy as a horse), I eventually connected with Dr. Maura earlier this year and I have been working with her since. She quickly identified and the confirmed through lab work that I had both dysbiosis and SIBO and has since guided me on a treatment plan (temporary diet restrictions and herbal supplements) that has improved these significantly. We also reviewed adrenal / stress symptoms I was experiencing, along with sleep issues - and she recommended herbal remedies that helped with both. I now have a n invaluable resource to turn to in the future should any reoccurrence happen and I definitely recommend Dr. Maura if you are dealing with chronic issues that your regular doctor(s) are not managing to diagnose - am sure she can help shine a light on what the root cause (and treatment) may be.

I began seeing Dr. Patel virtually a few months ago. Had been dealing with chronic “gut issues” for at least a decade (along with many seemingly related ailments) and finally feel like I am making progress in just a few months because of his treatment plan. It has been a refreshing experience contrasted with the countless doctors I’d seen previously who were not nearly as helpful or easy to talk with. Dr. Patel took time to explain what he was thinking regarding my symptoms and my treatment plan and was open and flexible when I tried supplements that didn’t seem to agree with me. I now feel like I am in the middle of healing and I have more hope for my well-being in the future than I’ve had in a very long time. Also, Shelli, the person in Dr. Maura’s office who handles the scheduling and tests has been very helpful and always communicates quickly and efficiently. This is also rare in my experience dealing with Dr.s’ offices.

I can’t recommend Dr.Patel enough!! He is kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. He has helped me treat and manage my GI issues better than any other doctor I have worked with. He really listened to my symptoms and did some at home testing to find the root causes of my problems and treated them from there. He is very understanding of my abnormal lifestyle/schedule as a college student and has created a personalized treatment plan to work with my schedule. I have felt better than I have in a long time working with Dr. Patel and am so grateful for all of the work that he has done!

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. Moore is insightful, innovative, wise, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I am so grateful to be in her care!

I found Dr. Maura online and I am SO glad I did! Unlike conventional health where medicines are often used as a band-aid, Dr. Maura helped get to the underlying issue that was causing my eczema flare-ups. She is very deliberate, thoughtful and thorough during her appointments. I never felt rushed (unlike traditional doctors appointments) and she always answered all of my questions! On top of that, she was very responsive over email when I had questions about my supplements, etc. Couldn't recommend enough!!!

I worked with Dr. Patel for the past 8 months to help with gut issues, mood, low energy. The practice was amazing because I came in with some what 'vague' symptoms which a traditional doctors have never taken seriously or helped with. Also doctors have told me before there's nothing to be done about sub-optimal health in some areas, or just to wait and see what happens which is frustrating. The holistic approach was extremely helpful because I was able to understand how my symptoms were connected and how they can be addressed holisticly by getting to root causes. Dr. Patel takes the time to walk you through everything and make a personalized plan for your health, he is very kind and a good listener which is a relief after seeing doctors who don't seem to really care about your symptoms. Always time to ask questions in the zoom calls. I saw results over time and while it takes patience to follow the treatments and the testing at times it is highly worth it in the long term. Highly recommend.
