Women’s Health & Hormones

Dr. Maura is a pleasure to work with. She is thorough, thoughtful and attentive. She's not only helped me conquer a particularly debilitating case of SIBO and manage other chronic health issues, but also helped my family on their path to health. Highly recommend!

I can highly recommend Dr Patel. Before seeing him I had been sent on a wild goose chase for years traipsing round other gastro specialists, multiple intrusive tests & ultimately just told to put up with my symptoms. After just a couple of zoom calls & some home test kits Dr Patel had properly identified my issues & gone further to help me spot other hormonal imbalances. And I can now say with confidence that I am 100% better. And this was all done over zoom to the UK. Dr Patel considers the whole patient. All your symptoms & needs. He has a wonderful manner & clearly knows his stuff. I have & will continue to recommend him to everyone I meet.

Dr. Patel's guiding through a better immune system and guts repair was very thoroughly. I followed his advice and felt an improvement.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Patel. He is warm and personable, which is really helpful when you are talking to a stranger about your poop! He ordered thorough testing, and even asked me if there were other tests that I wanted to do. That was HUGE, as I’ve had several doctors turn me down when I requested tests in the past. (That seriously blows my mind. If I want to be tested and am willing to pay for it, WHY NOT?!?!) The conventional doctors I saw about my digestive problems were absolutely useless. They wanted me to accept IBS-D as a condition with no cure, and could only offer me drugs to slow down my intestinal function and hopefully reduce my symptoms. However, after working with Dr. Patel for about 6 months, the severe IBS that I had been struggling with for 3 years finally started to heal! Additionally, I really appreciate that I was able to do my testing at home and my office visits online. I couldn’t find anyone like Dr. Patel near where I live, so I’m really thankful I could work with Dr. Maura’s clinic this way.

I have been working with Dr. Maura since January 2024 to find relief from chronic perioral dermatitis. Her mission is to find true healing for her patients, rather than band-aid solutions and that's what she's done for me by helping me find relief for my skin issues. Working with her so far has been life changing for me. For three years I went between my dermatologist and allergist trying to figure out why I was breaking out in rashes on my face. I took blood tests, prick tests, patch tests to check for allergies, food intolerances, autoimmune diseases, viral infections and not getting any real answers on what was triggering the rashes on my face. After 2.5 years I finally got the diagnosis of perioral dermatitis from my allergist, but I was just prescribed allergy meds, ointments and steroids that felt like it was making my situation worse and not getting to the heart of the problem. I started looking into Naturopathy because I knew something else was going on and I wanted someone to have a real holistic look at my health. From the moment I reached out to Dr. Maura's practice, it was a transparent and open conversation. The first appointment she listened to what I was going through and where I've been, and asked questions about my general health. She took a look at my past lab results and pictures. She felt confident we could get me to.a path to healing and that made me feel confident too! She then recommended some additional labs to get an overall look at my health. They were mailed directly to my home and were easy to perform. The second appointment we went over the lab results which showed I was having gut issues that possibly were effecting my skin. She prescribed me a treatment plan which was a mix of supplements and diet for six weeks. My third appointment we discussed the results and I was soo happy to have had six weeks of no face inflammations by following her plan!! After three years of struggle I had found relief in under six weeks! Before they even booked my first appointment they were upfront about costs for each appointment and estimated costs for labs and meds, so there were no surprises at any point in the process. Dr. Maura works with Fullscript for the prescription plan if you have any needed supplements, and they were delivered right to my door and I had the option of auto-refills. If I had any questions as I was waiting for my next appointment, Shelli who is the practice manager, was really quick to respond to my inquiries through email. In addition to having relief from my rash outbreaks, I feel healthier than I have in ten years! I lost weight that I needed to lose, I am sleeping better, and my overall mental health is better. I cannot recommend Dr. Maura enough and am looking forward to continuing working with her.

I started working with Dr. Ron Patel several months ago for chronic gut issues. I am very pleased with his care and treatment plan for me. I am remarkably feeling better under his guidance. I highly recommend him as a doctor for any gut issues.

Working with Dr.Patel has been amazing. I struggled to find a doctor who didn’t see me as a number rather than a human until I found him. Right from the start of my journey I could tell that he genuinely cared about my progress, had compassion and empathy towards the many issues I came to him with and has been very invested ever since I joined as a client. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor, thank you Dr.P!

Dr. Maura has been an incredible doctor for me, and I have immense gratitude for her work and support to help turn around my health. She is one of the best doctors you can find. I started working with her about a little more than a year ago, after dealing with a whole host of health issues that had me in a place of struggling to function on a day-to-day basis. Prior to our first meeting, I was in so much discomfort and pain that I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was struggling with getting through workdays and I couldn’t exercise at all. I had been bouncing from one doctor to the next, in complete frustration with the lack of answers, support, knowledge, and the reality that I was not improving. I was also dealing with numerous side effects from high dosed prescribed medications. Dr Maura is an expert, by far the most intelligent and thorough doctor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a lot of them. Her comprehensive approach in testing and treating over the last year has been a life changer for me. I have never felt better, and my health has dramatically improved since we started working together. I have gone from barely functioning to being back in the gym, exercising every day and now running with my kids. Her knowledge, expertise and access to specialized testing and utilization of regular bloodwork has been so helpful to understand what is happening, to identify issues and to fix and optimize the issues and different levels as needed. While working with a functional medicine/naturopathic doctor is not covered by insurance, the majority of my bloodwork has been covered, and she has done well to help that. Dr. Maura has gone above and beyond for me in becoming my primary doctor and her office staff (Shelli) is always helpful and friendly in communicating, scheduling, getting lab forms. My wife is now a patient, and I have referred numerous friends to see her and her practice 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!
