Inner Balance Natural Health

Before I started the regimen that Dr. Patel prescribed for me, I was barely keeping my head above an ocean of cyclical depression. Ten + days before my cycle the dark cloud would visit in a timely manner and loom over me until my bleeding would finally release it. When I visited medical doctors twice for some answers, they wanted to «try out» some drugs «to see» which ones would work, birth control being one of the options. I wanted to *understand* what was happening to my body, not play ring around the pills and take my body through a roller coaster of changes in the *hopes* that one of them would become the fitting band-​aid.
When I visited Dr. Patel, I found her super easy to talk to, as she is a great listener, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She knew which tests to run (some of which I did at my other clinic so my insurance could cover it) and used the results to help me understand how my lifestyle was affecting my body. She prescribed a regimen of effective and affordable herbs, along with a temporary homeopathic regimen. It didn’t take long for me to notice the looming cloud thinning out each month. Magic.
After about six months, I feel like I’m walking on water. While life has gotten busier and more demanding, the shift has made it feel possible to tackle life while taking on more self care activities. I’ve included gym visits and salt baths twice a week to my routine. Before this, I would not have thought it possible to maintain self care, single mothering, and working overtime as a possibility.
Dr. Patel has also started me on a fitness routine to help strengthen my core. She’s full of solutions, and unlike a traditional doctor’s visit, you’ll actually have time to ask questions, receive detailed answers, and discuss a plan of action for your condition that works for you. My visits with her are the best investments I’ve ever made.

Dr. Patel’s monthly Newsletter consistently covers a variety of health issues, addressing them in a manner that is both professional and patient-​friendly. I never fail to get something out of her articles that is beneficial to me. This is mainly because Dr. Patel approaches patient care with a clear recognition of – and respect for — the patient’s ability to resposibly care for his or her own health. She has been of immense health to me in managing my asthma and allergies without the use of prescription drugs. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for exceptional, customized medical care.

Dr. Patel is a really wonderful naturopath! Unlike some others I have had in the past, I feel like she meets me exactly where I am at, and creates a health plan with me that is going to serve me at that particular time in my life. She has helped me to acknowledge that health is going to look different at different times in life. We work together on focusing on what we can do, rather than focusing on all the things not to do. The plans we make together are manageable and helpful, and it feels like we are on a journey together. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel!
