Less than a week into treatment, the pain went away. I’m feeling much much better thanks to your treatment, it’s like night and day. You have know idea how thankful I am to you. Thank you so much for giving me my life back.”

S.T.

“My acne has entirely cleared up, and I’m not breaking out anymore!” “I am really pleased at how much my skin has improved and felt even better about it when I saw my dermatologist who was really impressed with how much my acne was gone! She said, “Wow, your skin looks great, and it’s entirely cleared up! What happened?” I explained that I had been seeing you, and it had been treated via natural methods – diet, vitamins/supplements, homeopathic remedies. Thank you for your help, and I will definitely be in touch should any other issues arise!”

D.R.

“I had been suffering for over a year with acne/dermatitis on my face…thank you for helping me feel 100% better.” “I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to feel 100% better. As I had said during my visit, I had been suffering for over a year with this acne/dermatitis on my face. Numerous doctors just prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic. I knew it was some kind of allergy and you were the only one who listened. I have recommended numerous patients to you and just wanted to express my gratitude.”

Kristen

“Thanks to Dr. Maura, I no longer suffer from persistent gastric distress, chronic dry skin, or low energy.” “Thanks to Dr. Maura, I no longer suffer from persistent gastric distress, chronic dry skin, or low energy. Dr. Maura carefully assessed my personal health concerns, conducted a thorough medical history, and provided solid naturopathic health suggestions that I continue to follow. For the past two Januarys, I have enjoyed a dietary purification program supervised by Dr. Maura. Diet, natural supplements, and exercise have made a huge difference in how I look and feel. And, I feel fantastic. Dr. Maura is amazing! Approachable. Holistic. Available.”

Sue

“I felt I was being cared for by a highly skilled health care professional and also a healer.” “Dr. Henninger is wonderful to work with. I felt I was being cared for by a highly skilled health care professional and also a healer. She is so dedicated to each patient and extremely thorough in her approach to healing. I did a 21 day cleanse under her care and she was thoughtful, supportive, and provided helpful insight and observations throughout the process. Her style is easy-going and non-judgmental.”

Dana

“The best medical advice I have had in 30 years of going to endocrinologists” “With Dr. Henninger I went through the Standard Process Purification cleanse, and Dr. Henninger’s advice and direction, as well as clear explanation of the benefit of my new eating habits, made the experience the best of its kind. Results of a less complicated lower GI picture, along with increased energy and stamina have improved my health picture significantly. Also, Dr. Henninger has advised me on my endocrine system and given me medical advice, recommended supplements and best practices for my underactive thryroid condition–the best medical advice I have had in 30 years of going to endocrinologists. I enthusiatically recommend Dr. Henninger’s work and medical practice in these areas and with other outcomes I have had in my association with her in the last six months.”

I found Dr. Maura after hitting a dead end with specialists in traditional western medicine. It took a leap of faith to switch to this style of healing, but after starting her protocols my body started to gradually heal. I now feel empowered dealing with my health. Dr. Maura helped me understand how MY body works and reacts so as other health challenges arise I'm able to get back to health. She's patient and warm and never makes me feel rushed or crazy. I even sent my husband to her for his debilitating migraines. She discovered the root cause and he hasn't had a migraine day in 6 months. I recommend her to everyone I talk to who is struggling with a chronic condition or imbalance. Which is basically everyone I know.

My health was in a downward spiral for more than 2 years and I was desperate for help when I set up my appointment with Dr. Patel at Dr. Maura's office. I tried every treatment recommended to me by my primary care doctor before seeing him - upper endoscopy, PPI’s, abdominal scans with no answers. I had so many rounds of blood work done with little to no explanation. I was at the point where I was hardly eating when I had decided to try naturopathic medicine.Dr. Patel was the first doctor to help me resolve any of my gut/thyroid issues and helped to get me on a plan quickly to restore my body to a normal state with the natural help of diet and supplements. He was the first person who made me feel like there was hope. Our first virtual appointment was an hour long and we went over everything I was experiencing and how we could resolve it. I shared with him recent blood work and he gave me very thorough explanations of my labs. He recommended stool testing at our 2nd appointment and we covered all of those results in detail as well. Found out that I had H. Pylori, Sibo, and a few other issues, so we quickly reacted and resolved within a few months.It’s been a little more than a year now and I am happy to say I’ve made a lot of progress. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone who is struggling with gut/thyroid issues. He will help you understand the whole picture and will carefully recommend ways to resolve whatever you are experiencing health wise. All of my appointments were extremely positive and I left each one very optimistic. Such a different experience from any of my other Dr. appointments in the past.

Dr. Patel was an angel sent from above. I was feeling extremely bloated, fatigued and tired of not getting answers. I was told that I 'just had IBS' by other doctors so when I met Dr. Patel, I was so happy. He took such a deep dive in to my past medical history and my current symptoms and figured out that I had Leaky Gut and SIBO. He gave me the supplements he thought my body needed not just randomly from a list of supplements. I am feeling like a new person since starting those supplements. I think the best part of this all is that I won't have to be on these forever. He is looking to actually heal my body so that I can go back to feeling great without restrictions.

Dr. Patel is awesome! Highly recommend him for any GI issues. Over the last few months he has helped me feel the best I have felt after getting diagnosed with SIBO. I didn’t realize how badly I felt after eating, I kind of thought it was normal. Now no bloating at all! I will say the process is not linear, definitely had some ups and downs trying different supplements, but it was worth every penny.

Dr. Patel is fantastic. He is responsive, cares about healing his patients, and most importantly is highly knowledgeable. I’ve been working with Dr. Patel for about 4 months now and have seen amazing improvement with my GI/SIBO symptoms. Highly recommend.

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 Maura has turned my life around! I started seeing her a couple years ago when my skin was basically screaming for help, and nothing else was working. Our first session was very thorough and we had a plan to diagnose and figure out the root cause right off the bat. With home test kits it was all super easy, even at the peak of COVID. It took a lot of work and patience but within 4-6 months I was seeing dramatic changes in my skin - and almost two years later I’m still doing pretty well! What I love about her is her realistic approach. She also thoroughly explains her thought process and suggested solutions for everything. I’m so glad I crossed paths with her and am grateful for her support and expertise. I’d recommend Dr Maura to anyone who is struggling with hormonal imbalance (esp. acne) or gut-related issues.

I have been working with Dr Patel since April and am so impressed with the way he makes you feel like you are number one. He is so kind and caring. He starts with tests to learn about everything that is going on inside you before starting treatment. Really hard to find Doctors like him today. Im telling everyone about him. Dr Patel you rock!!

I went to see Dr. Ronak Patel at Dr. Maura's practice with significant stomach discomfort and poor gut health. In my time with Dr. Patel, not only did he completely heal my stomach (more than any doctor was able to do previously), but every aspect of my health and wellbeing has drastically improved under his care. Beyond my stomach, I saw unprecedented, radical improvements across all aspects of my wellbeing, including my energy levels, attention, and mental and hormonal health.Dr. Patel puts genuine care and time into his patients. Unlike any doctor I've previously seen, Dr.Patel doesn't look for a quick "fix", but truly invests time in understanding the root cause of WHY you feel a certain way, and thus his care is preventative, not just reactive!In a word my experience has been life changing. I have recommended Dr. Maura practice to every friend, family member, and co worker.

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). II 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 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.

As someone who has struggled with nebulous stomach problems for 15 years (since I was nine), and seen numerous other doctors and tried various kinds of medicine, I cannot recommend functional/holistic medicine enough as a great way to get to the root of the health issue.Dr Patel is a phenomenal practitioner who has helped me over the last seven months go from only being able to tolerate certain foods to being able to eat a range of things without my stomach causing me pain. My favorite parts about this is the relative affordability of treatment (medicine is fairly inexpensive) and how Dr Patel would walk me through the labs and help me understand what each marker means, and the best way to improve those things.I truly felt that Dr Patel gave me the right treatment when other doctors would not, and I am not exaggerating when I say that 15 years of discomfort due to my health issues may be coming to an end under Dr Patel’s supervision. I highly recommend him for GI/autoimmune issues. Thanks Dr Patel! You rock!

I can not recommend Dr. Patel enough. I originally reached out regarding certain gut issues and I truly felt relief after my first visit with just some guidelines he gave me before any tests were even done! After we did several tests and I got my results, the way Dr Patel explained everything in great detail was simply priceless. The journey is not over but there is nobody else I’d rather be on this journey with! I’ve learned so much and felt so much improvement in my health/body/mind. I tell everyone about my experience here. I’d recommend coming here with any health issues that conventional medicine hasn’t been able to solve.

I've been working with Dr. Maura for over 2 years now and she has helped me with various ailments. It started with chronic headaches, which in part was contributed to my gut issues, which I didn't even know I had (but Dr.Maura was able to spot and address the issues) and we have worked together on other ailments as they have come up such as rashes and allergies. Dr. Maura listens to your issues in a caring and non-judgmental way and really tries to understand not only the issues but the drivers of the issue to work on a holistic fix. I couldn't recommend her enough.

My only wish is that I found Dr.Maura earlier and that I reached out. I’ve suffered gut issues my entire life. She has been amazing and an incredible resource. With the tests she’s been able to administer we’ve been be able to get to the bottom of my issues. I have more energy, my bloating when I stay on track is gone and I feel more balanced. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr.Maura on my path to optimal health.

I am so grateful for my experience with Dr. Patel, who helped me resolve & support a slew of issues- under-active thyroid, fatigues, chronic skin issues, SIBO & leaky gut. He is a great listener and truly cares about his patients! And was/is also encouraging of the decisions I want to make about my own body re: treatment options.

I am so grateful to have been working with Dr. Patel over the past 8 months to treat my gut issues (SIBO & leaky gut). Prior to working with him, I always struggled to find a doctor who wanted to delve deep to find the root cause of my ongoing & long-term symptoms and help me heal my gut. 8 months ago, it seemed as if everything I was eating was not agreeing with me and my digestion system was out of whack pretty much everyday…now after 8 months, I am back to eating so many foods I wasn’t able to tolerate before and am feeling so much better and more like myself! I have been able to find so much symptom relief through a personalized treatment plan curated by Dr. Patel and he has been extremely transparent and informative throughout the process, guiding me each step of the way. His kindness and constant support & encouragement is not something you find in every doctor and is something I especially appreciate with him. He is amazing and I seriously cannot recommend him enough!!!!

I tried to get my mother’s gut issues resolved here after she saw many doctors. We were feeling hopeful, but my mother looked into SIBO and didn’t know why she was tested for it. I am not sure if that is their route for every patient with gut issues. Nonetheless, she tried the supplements she was given which were not suiting her very well. She has a very sensitive stomach and had told this to the doctor but I didn’t feel like it was a unique treatment. When I told my mom we would have to make another session to get more clarity or fix her treatment or get questions answered, she didn’t want to keep paying for sessions for small fixes and felt like all doctors just want money. I didn’t really care to keep paying but to be honest I didn’t feel like it is tailored to each patient and we would have to do a lot of trial and error. They seem very busy as well and I understand they had to change some polices but it wasn’t a right fit for my mom. However, Dr. Maura and Shelli are very nice and professional.

Virtually working Dr. Ronak Patel has been a true pleasure. In a medical community that focuses on a narrow spectrum, Dr. Patel took his time and worked on much more holistic approach to my ailments. I feel great and better than ever. Taking a proactive approach to my health has been the greatest decision.

Dr. Maura's practice is a business rather than a holistic humanitarian health care. If you are looking for a doctor to trust and treat you individually this is the wrong place as you have to swipe your card for every dialogue or exchange.Since when do holistic doctors exploit patients? Oh, right healthcare is the new finance industry.(I can not respond to your comment below Dr. Maura, so writing here.)I don't think "information" gets lost when exchanging on some simple follow up questions via email during a treatment. Besides please stop the accusations by calling me a "complex" patient.Not allowing any outside communication other then your expensive 10 min zoom sessions for over $100 is very misleading and not sincere.It goes against your statement of prioritizing your clients and underlining individual care with a personal connection.I am sorry if you feel your model is justified and hope you can reconsider your fictitious humanitarian approach. Hoping this will help some readers to prevent having to go through the same experience.

Dr. Maura is an exceptional doctor. She stands out in the crowded field of holistic medicine with her huge expertise, accessibility and warmth. She and her office staff are so completely available between visits to answer questions and field concerns. This kind of healing is complex and Dr. Maura kindly held my hand every step of the way. Dr. Maura would always make sure I understood every aspect of her evaluations and recommendations. I can't express my gratitude enough and recommend her to anyone looking for a great doctor for their chronic issue. I've recommended her to all my family and friends.

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 am grateful to be able to work on my issue with Doctor Maura during my transition from Indonesia to the states, with variety of hormonal issues that took a toll on me since early this year, at to the point of now, I am in a much better place with a continuation plan to keep maintaining healthy balance life.First time I've had consultation with her, I felt more hopeful about my health issue and I thought it was a rare quality that resonated from her. She has helped me to navigate my desire to maintain my physical and mental health with more natural way through nutrition, supplements and physical activities that more suited with me.I am so thankful for her support and I do recommended her to anyone who has a similar issue as I do.

Dr. Maura has helped me heal my gut and reduce inflammation due to long term antidepressant use and other infections that I encountered throughout the past few years (SIBO). I was desperate and tried so many different things until I found Dr. Maura on the internet. She has truly changed my life!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for natural healing.

Dr. Maura is a godsend. I started using her in the middle of the pandemic, so we've only had tele-visits. I have Crohn’s, which was acting up, and my prior naturopath was no longer able to help me successfully. I found Dr. Maura by researching naturopaths online and I found only good things about her. She’s very patient and genuinely cares about her patients. She always takes the time to listen and then explain things so they are easily understood. More important, she helped me tremendously. As we went along, she would constantly adjust my diet or supplements, depending on how I reacted to the treatment. Now, I feel so much better and have probably gone into remission, all thanks to her. Also, her staff is wonderful. They are so attentive and get back to you immediately when needed. I would highly recommend Dr. Maura to anyone seeking a kind, compassionate, and brilliant naturopath. I just can’t say enough good things about her.

I typically don't write reviews, but felt compelled to share my experience with Dr. Molly DeMers and The Dr. Maura Practice because it has so profoundly improved my life. I've seen doctors, both conventional and holistic, who haven't been able to help me. That's when I turned to naturopathic medicine and because of Dr. Maura's reputation, decided to see one of her doctors. Dr. DeMers put together all of the seemingly disconnected pieces of my health puzzle after thoroughly getting to know my history and doing some really interesting testing. She is brilliant—she found answers where I had none before. My treatment plans make sense, cover everything and are easy to follow. Just a few months into my work with her and my skin has cleared, my period has normalized, my digestion has improved. I'm with this practice for life and couldn't recommend Dr. DeMers more highly. If you're on the fence, go for it, it'll be the best health decision you've ever made.

I reached out to Maura after a very scary hospitalization with sepsis. My gut was destroyed and my skin was covered in acne and weird rashes after I ate foods that my body once could handle. Not being able to eat everything I wanted any longer was devastating.I’m happy to say that after working with Maura I now can eat like I did prior to my sepsis poisoning (can tolerate gluten, dairy, alcohol!) My body is now absorbing nutrients and I’m at a healthy weight again.My skin and rashes did a complete 180 and my skin is back to being clear!🙏🏻I would recommend Maura to anyone wanting to get to the root of their health issues in a healthy and holistic way.Much love,Heather

It's so worth it to finally have a doctor who LISTENS!I started working with Dr. Maura about 8 months ago. Prior to that, I was dealing with perioral dermatitis (PD) that I had for over two years, but I had trouble finding any sort of long-term solution. I saw multiple dermatologists for my PD, but couldn't seem to find any fix (especially one that wouldn't just obliterate my system with antibiotics). I finally reached out to Dr. Maura to get help. I was cautious because I knew that it wouldn't be covered under my insurance...but it was so worth it to finally have a doctor just listen to me. Dr. Maura listened to everything that I was dealing with, from dermatologic to digestive issues, and diagnosed me with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). From there, she was able to prescribe a treatment plan, including diet, vitamins, prescriptions & lifestyle changes that actually had an effect. To anyone else who is at the end of their rope and feels like other doctors just don't really care...I would recommend seeing Dr. Maura!

Words cannot express the gratitude and respect we have for Dr. Maura's work. My teenage daughter was diagnosed with SIBO and IBS 2.5 years ago. My daughter spent up to 5 hours a day in the bathroom and was in constant discomfort. We went to several GI and Endocrinologists. After years of testing and medications that did not work we were told nothing more can be done. Dr Maura immediately understood my daughter's condition and provided a path to recovery. Within months we started to see results. My daughter is a year into working with Dr Maura and is almost back to her pre SIBO/IBS days. We highly recommend Dr Maura!

I started seeing Dr. Maura last May as I was having on going stomach/ gut issues for most of my adult life. After working with her and closely following her plan for 5-6 months, I can officially say my stomach issues have subsided. I had seen multiple gastroenterologists in the past and had tried many elimination diets but I love food and cooking and this was not the route for me. Dr Maura worked to identify the foods causing my issues and we came up with a plan so that I would ultimately be able to reintroduce those trigger foods over time. The plan worked and now I have reintroduced all foods back into my diet! Highly recommend working with her :) She is super knowledgeable and understanding.

Dr. Maura is amazing. She listened to my concerns, ordered the correct tests and created a plan for me. She has helped me with GI issues, diagnosed SIBO, ordered food sensitivity testing and hormone tests. 20 years of GI issues and extreme period pain + suffering and going to PCPs and OBGYNs without a resolution and Dr. Maura got me feeling normal again after just a few short months. She heals the root cause of the problem with a plan and supplements. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I wish I was able to see her earlier but grateful I found her.

I've worked with Dr. Maura for more than a half a year now. I originally came to Dr. Maura for gut issues, and she has helped tremendously in addressing both GI and reproductive health issues.From our very first appt, I could tell that Dr. Maura is not only incredibly knowledgable and thorough, but a kind, thoughtful, and empathetic individual. She takes her time with you and truly listens to your symptoms. Dr. Maura recommends the right tests and teaches you to listen to your body, helping you address the root cause of your health issues.I now feel much better about my gut (she helped clear up a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in less than 2 mo), and PCOS symptoms have been addressed as well.I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Maura! If you feel in any way that your health or well-being could be improved, I recommend you see Dr. Maura -- you will not be disappointed! Thank you, Dr. Maura for all that you've done and continue to do!

I came to Dr Maura with a gut health issue. I found her online so was uneasy at first since I typically find health/medical providers through referrals but her competence and demeanor quickly put me at ease. She expertly identified potential issues and ordered a series of tests that I was able to complete from home to hone in on the cause of my discomfort. After the results, she put me on a supplements and restrictive diet plan for several meals that improved the issue. In a follow up appointment after seeing the improvement we did an additional round of supplements that took me to a close to or cured state. I'm very pleased with the experience. Shelli in her office also gets 5 stars for all of her support in scheduling and coordinating tests. Thanks Dr Maura!

After reading all of the great reviews about Dr. Maura, I decided to give it a go. After seeing GI's and learning that I have SIBO, I was constantly trying to figure out how to battle it without completely changing my diet.Dr. Maura listened to my FULL story, asking appropriate questions along the way. She then ordered two different (at-home) tests. After seeing that my SIBO was still just as high as it was after seeing 2 GI's, she came up with my comprehensive supplement regimen. After using it for 8+ weeks, coupled with mild exercise, daily walks, I started noticing a difference!Now, I am out about 6 months and feel better than I have in 6 years!!I no longer have the constant bloat and pains that come along with SIBO.Long story short, I am so appreciative of Dr. Maura listening and truly wanting the help me beat this thing. Highly recommend her!!

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.

Dr. Maura is a lifesaver! I had some form of perioral dermatitis around my mouth for 2+ years. Dr. Maura helped me get to the root cause of my skin issues and helped me heal. My skin is already dramatically better within 6 weeks of being on her protocol. I can’t wait to see how much further I heal while under Dr. Maura’s care.

Dr Maura has been extremely helpful for me. I've been working with her for about a year on chronic gut/digestion issues, and I've improved so much in that time. I appreciate that she did not push a long-term restrictive diet, as many other practitioners have done for me without attempting to treat the base issue. I was on a low-FODMAP diet as part of my treatment, but now I'm back to eating almost everything other than a few trigger foods. I would definitely recommend her if you are dealing with chronic health issues that other practitioners have not taken the time to address with depth and care.

I have worked with Dr Maura on and off for about ten years now. She is always very kind and very comforting and makes you feel better just by speaking with you. She is very thorough and takes the time to understand the whole picture, not just select symptoms. I really appreciate the alternatives she provides when you're looking for a solution to the problem, not just a way to put a bandaid on the symptoms. If you're searching for alternative solutions, or just cant put your finger on what's wrong, Dr Maura's your answer!

Dr. Maura has such a stellar reputation and while I was really eager to see her, I opted to see her associate Dr. Galina, whom I had also heard good things about. I'm so glad I did. Dr. Galina is truly a gifted physician. She completely resolved my PCOS and digestive issues when no other doctor I had seen (and I've seen many) was able to even understand what was happening. She listened carefully and never rushed through visits. She ran the right tests that got to the root cause of my problems and came up with treatment protocols that were totally natural, easy to follow and most importantly effective. She's warm and so smart. I appreciated the attentive support she gave me between visits. I've already referred a number of family and friends to see her. She gets my highest recommendation.

Working with Dr. Maura has been a great experience! For many years I struggled with gut issues, chronic fatigue, and migraines. Within just a short time she was able to identify the underlying cause of my gut issues and laid out a protocol for me to follow. She took the time to listen and get to the root of my problems. I was able to heal from SIBO and leaky gut. My energy levels have increased dramatically and I don’t suffer migraines like I used to. Working with Dr. Maura has truly been a life changing experience. She is the person to go to if you need help on your healing journey.

I have been working with Dr. Maura for a few years. She has been able to diagnose, address, and treat me from a holistic viewpoint while taking into account the specifics of the areas of my body needing treatment. In a matter of months under Dr. Maura's guidance, fibromyalgia and its debilitating symptoms have been eradicated. Over the years I have continued to look to Dr. Maura for my general health care, more like a PCP. I am healthier than I have ever been. I eat well, I sleep well, I have energy and focus not fatigue and pain. Her knowledge is only surpassed by her kindness. Truly a life saver.

Working with Dr. Maura has been a delight in so many ways. As a 30 year old woman who has been dealing with thyroid,hormonal and digestive issues for over 10 years...I finally found a doctor I trust who can safely guide me in the right direction. Dr Maura asks questions about my well being and had me take a few hormone /mineral tests which helped to create an easy and doable treatment program. I am about two months into my regimen and for the first time in IDK how long, I have ovulated. My mood and energy has shifted to a place of more peace and calm and I am going to the bathroom daily! I'm thankful for people like her who actually care and view the body as a complete system. We dont realize how much vitality we are supposed to be feeling until we start healing and taking care of ourselves.

Dr. Maura is a great alternative for someone who has SIBO. Many traditional GI doctors haven't done the research necessary to tackle a methane-based issue. I have had to do a lot of research myself on the latest science and the newest treatments. While I've had to suggest to my GI doctor treatments I had read about online, Dr. Maura was already on top of all the latest science and it just seemed as if we were already speaking the same language, having followed the same research. Unfortunately when you're struggling with this, you have to do a lot of legwork yourself because regular GI doctors don't seem to know has much as naturopaths. It's really nice to have a doctor that is so well versed in SIBO and GI studies and treatments. I would absolutely recommend her services. She even thinks about things more holistically, such as anti-microbial options and physical therapy. Finally, there are a lot of great alternatives to the synthetic medications she can offer.She's absolutely knows what she's talking about and I hope to continue my journey to a 100% recovery.

I had been having symptoms of bloating, a pushing feeling in my stomach, tiredness, brain fog, severe allergies and general malaise for a few years. I saw many doctors and none has answers for me and dismissed my symptoms after some “routine blood work” as age (I’m 39) and stress. In researching gut health and brain fog, I came across Dr. Maura and I am so thankful I did!!! I didn’t know what to expect since I had never seen a ND before.When i met with her I felt like someone was finally listening to me and taking my symptoms seriously! She did a very comprehensive workout involving blood work and at home kits. When my results were in, she sat down with me and thoroughly went over a plan to get my gut on track as well as my thyroid since the tests she performed revealed thyroid antibodies. The plan involved diet changes as well as supplements.Within a month my brain fog was almost gone, my stomach no longer had that pushing bloated feeling and my energy level had increased! If i was feeling 3/10 when I originally went to Dr Maura, I was now feeling 8/10! If you have been searching for answers and coming up empty and if you have been searching for a doctor who will listen and understand, look no further! Dr. Maura has helped me immensely and I am forever grateful I went the ND route!

I worked with Dr. Maura regarding numerous issues. I had recently started college and was experiencing digestive issues, acne, fatigue, and anxiety. The tests she offered gave me insight to the problems I was having and after a couple months of natural treatment I'm symptom free.

Dr. Maura is great. I was fed up with the conventional mode of health care and wanted a doctor who really took the time to help me get to the underlying cause to some of the symptoms I was having. Dr. Maura sat and spoke with me for an hour, which was followed up with doing a comprehensive blood panel and acid test. She also gave several resources (books, articles and fellow colleagues recommendations) to further help me. After getting the results, we had another hour long conversation about all the different recommendations to heal (supplements and different therapies) I’ve been following the protocol and I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in years!

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 had a fantastic experience with Dr. Maura! My backstory is that I have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. For 3-4 years I felt an overall sluggishness, with symptoms including brain fog, social anxiety that I never had before, and lack of motivation (all of which felt very out of the norm for me) even though my blood work was showing "great" numbers for thyroid function. After 2 years of getting my thyroid dosage and blood test results in a great place, I still felt pretty meh and was experiencing this intense bloating (not kidding it looked like I was pregnant by end of each day) that nothing could get rid of. So I knew that it had to be something else, not just thyroid medication/dosage-related. I suspected, based on reading about its symptoms, that SIBO could be involved. Sure enough Dr. Maura tested me for it and we discovered methane-dominant SIBO, and we started what would be a 4-month supplement and dietary protocol. It is not an easy diet (you’ll probably need to remove gluten and dairy at minimum), and you will probably feel socially isolated at some points, but consider that it’s such a short time frame to turn your life and health around! Now about a month off of the diet and supplements and having transitioned every food I love back in (not avoiding gluten/dairy or anything anymore), I feel like I process everything very well - even whole milk dairy, which gave me awful symptoms before! Anyway, definitely see Dr. Maura if this sounded anything like what you’re going through - she was an immensely helpful guide through it all and a great listener! You can keep connected with her on an online portal as well, making her accessible and there for you even between appointments. It will not be through insurance so it’s not cheap, but I always think your health is the best investment :) Thank you Dr. Maura for a wonderful experience! I’ve already recommended you to several of my friends and intend to do so to anyone else who is suffering through these frustrating symptoms.

I have been seeing Dr. Maura for digestive issues for the past several months and am located out of state, outside of the NYC region. If you are suffering with IBS/SIBO I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Maura. I had been suffering with IBS/SIBO for approximately 18 months before seeing Dr. Maura. I had gone through all the standard protocol for digestive issues through my PCP and then I had seen several gastroenterologists across 3 major hospital networks. I had all the digestive tests you could imagine and spent thousands of dollars even with healthcare coverage (maxing out my out of pocket max). After 2 gastroenterologists at an Ivy League hospital network told me “I just have IBS and have to live with the symptoms” I was not willing to accept this and felt I exhausted my options in the traditional medicine world. I was skeptical of naturopathic/holistic medicine because of hearsay and that the services were not covered by my insurance company. I can tell you that the money I have spent with Dr. Maura has been well worth my physical and mental well being. The testing is expensive but I can tell it has helped Dr. Maura create a treatment plan. She ordered very targeted tests through one of the labs she works with and pinpointed the issues with my gut flora. I have been on a treatment program of natural supplements for over 60 days with her and have had amazing results that I was not able to achieve through the traditional healthcare system for IBS/SIBO. Do not be discouraged as chronic gut issues seem to be extremely difficult to diagnose and treat properly. I highly recommend Dr. Maura if, like myself, you have not received the answers you are looking for through the traditional medicine system.

I’ve had a great experience working with Dr Maura. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and personable. I went to her because I was having stomach issues and she accurately found the issue, made minimal changes to my diet in the most non-invasive way possible, and suggested vitamins to take. After 8+ months of seeing her I am 90% fully healed. I am delighted to be able to eat foods I couldn’t have before, this time with no side averse effects. I highly recommend her!

When I found Dr. Maura I had been struggling with digestive issues for about five years, had been to see several traditional GI doctors, and had tried just about every imaginable remedy and diet (low FODMAP, Whole30, vegan, keto, no dairy, etc...).A friend recommended that I see a naturopathic doctor in DC that had helped her overcome her digestive issues. I briefly entertained the notion of going to DC to see the same doctor, but I decided that I could probably find a quality doctor here in NYC. I did some Googling and found Dr. Maura.I saw Dr. Maura one time for a diagnosis and to do some tests (and also to talk about eliminating certain foods from my diet for temporary relief of symptoms), and then again a few weeks later to talk about treatment. She is very easy to talk to (especially considering the unpleasant subject matter) and listens carefully to everything you say.What I was most struck by in my second appointment was that she gave me a diagnosis of methane-producing SIBO, which was way more specific than any traditional GI doctor had ever given me. (They had only said "you probably have SIBO or IBS.")She then prescribed me several supplements, their dose, explained what their purpose was, how long I should take them (six weeks), and sent me on my way. Within three weeks I noticed that my digestion was something close to "normal". By week five I was back to normal. After five years of misery I am tempted to say that it's a miracle that I feel great again, but the reality it is thanks to a very well trained doctor who cares about her patients.And not only that, I don't have to think about every piece of food I put in my mouth wondering if it's going to make me sick. (At one point I had eliminated all dairy, cauliflower, broccoli, spicy foods, beans and onions.). I basically eat whatever I want, within reason.I read some people complain that Dr. Maura is expensive. Neither the visits nor the supplements are inexpensive, but Dr. Maura was very upfront about the cost of everything. And I would have been willing to pay 10xs more if it had meant feeling like a normal person again.If you are struggling with digestive issues I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go see Dr. Maura.

Let me add to the chorus of praise of Dr. Maura. After 3 years of sudden, chronic and intensely painful constipation that ended up giving me a fissure, that getting infected and ultimately needing surgery, Dr. Maura completely turned my GI track around. I'd seen a few GI specialists before her and they were only interested in medicating the symptoms. I even asked twice "shouldn't we be trying to figure out why a healthy person who's completely regular all of sudden stops pooping?" and the answer was "let's just get things moving with the laxatives and then we'll figure all that out".Dr. Maura on the first visit implemented some really informative tests that frankly I can't believe GI doctors don't do on the first visit. Within the first week on a temporary diet she gave me, I was back to being completely regular. IN ONE WEEK! After three years of constipation! We'll have a more specific plan of attack once the results of my tests are back, but I'm already impressed. No need for laxatives or probiotics in weeks.I will absolutely be making an appointment with Dr. Maura a must for my annual healthcare.

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!!!

Dr. Muara has been such a blessing in our lives!! I feel like she literally saved my daughters life. I went to her when I was desperate and in tears. My 2 year old daughter wasn't my happy little girl anyone... she cried all the time, wasn't talking as much as she should have been, her focus was all over the place... the list goes on. I remember Dr Muara being so calm in our first session. Today my 4 year old is healthy and thriving!!! She uncovered gut issues that a general doctor would have never caught. I also started working with her for my own health. She's smart, calm and meets you where you are.. but gives you a little push when needed to lead you in the direction of your best health! Thanks Dr Muara!!

I've been working with Dr. Maura for the last year. I went to her initially to learn more about my body during aging, and to prevent chronic diseases. Dr. Maura was able to take my 23andMe genetic profile combine with blood analysis to examine potential inflammation markers. She told me which foods were good for my digestive system, and which I should avoid. If you are interested in integrative, preventive medicine, she is an INCREDIBLE doctor. I highly recommend her without reservation. You will not be disappointed.

I was a patient for a little over a year. I was treated for ongoing stomach issues. Dr Maura provided me with a treatment plan but was not clear on how I could expect to respond to the treatment or when might be a good time to alert her with issues. I felt she blamed for me not coming back sooner to see her yet I had emailed her several times asking if how I was feeling was normal. In the end, I stopped seeing Dr Maura when she told me "follow the diet or don't, i don't care" in response to my concerns around when I might be able to include more food in my current diet. I am currently seeing a different doctor who is more kind and more communicative.

I have struggled with acne for my entire life and tried dermatologist after dermatologist without much improvement. Dr. Maura's Naturopathic method has changed my life by helping me to evaluate the parts of my diet that upset my skin and worked to find a plan that I was able to incorporate into my busy schedule. She was very patient in answering my questions and creating a viable action plan during my appointment, coordinating supplement orders after the fact, and was easily accessible between appointments through her patient portal. After four months, my skin is better than I have ever seen it, and I can thank Dr. Maura for that!

Dr Maura is an excellent naturopathic doctor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and cautious when it comes to the care of her patients. It took us so long to find someone who is as open minded about a more holistic approach to medicine as we are. One of the things we value most in anyone working in healthcare is the time they give to each patient. We never feel rushed out of her office which I find to be rare in NYC. I trust her completely with the health of our children and we would recommend her highly to anyone.

I struggled with cystic acne for 3 years, spending endless hours at the dermatologist trying everything from chemical peels to 3-month doses of antibiotics. When nothing helped, I decided to take a chance on Dr. Maura. After 3 months of supplementation and dietary changes, my skin was back to beautiful. The changes weren’t easy but they we’re effective. If you’re serious about living a (truly) healthy life, Dr. Maura is the best resource out there.

I’ve been going to Dr. Maura since around late October/November 2017 for gastrointestinal issues after being dismissed by other doctors stating I have ibs. After seeing Dr. Maura I got a proper diagnosis and have started healing. Dr. Maura took time to listen to all my concerns and questions and was very knowledgeable and informative about all the treatments I’ve done so far. I have the highest hopes now after seeing Dr. Maura for my health and I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
