Aunna Pourang, MD

Dr Aunna is so thorough, I have never had such a complete visit with a Western Doctor before. I usually feel rushed and like they are trying to get me out of the room, and here I felt I could talk to her for hours about my health. She is very compassionate and I feel she really cares about her patients. I’m excited about the Ayurvedic information received as well, it’s such a rare occurrence to get holistic care from a Western doctor! I’ve already told my friends, I’m so excited about her.

In the time that I’ve seen Dr. Pourang, she has made such a positive impact in my overall attitude, life outlook, and emotional health and well-​being.
I was getting sick frequently, constantly feeling fatigued, and had some health problems that felt unusual for my age and lack of any chronic conditions. I knew that it was likely related to stress in the workplace, but I was trying to target the source of my ailments rather than cover them up. Working in the medical field myself, I understand the value of modern medicine; yet, the spiritual side of me understands the importance of health beyond medication.
In our very first session, it was immediately evident that Dr. Pourang is such a genuinely positive person and a great listener who truly cares about helping her patients. In the office, Dr. Pourang was extremely patient, hands-​on, and never made me feel rushed. She even offered me tea as we came up with a game plan for how to improve my quality of life and target my concerns. Dr. Pourang and I did a thorough assessment to determine my Ayurvedic balance as well as assess any health conditions that I had. The best thing about working with Dr. Pourang is that she empowered me instead of just telling me what to do. We came up with a reasonable plan for me to integrate wellness in my daily routine, which has totally turned around my energy, immunity, and sleep patterns for the better.
It’s refreshing to find a doctor who is willing to take the time instead of rushing me out with a prescription. This was my first experience working with an integrative physician and Dr. Pourang made it such a positive experience for me. I will definitely be recommending her to all people in my circle who are seeking balance and a mind-​body-​spirit approach to health.

Dr. Aunna is a true healer — she has taught me a lot about balance for my health and for my life. As a busy professional, I often find myself stressed out over many different issues. Dr. Aunna took the time to listen to me and give me amazing advice on how to improve my health without medication. She is trained in Ayurvedic medicine (which I was not really sure about before I learned about it) and mixes both traditional Western medicine and Ayurvedic eastern medicine. She has an amazing bedside manner and makes me feel 100% comfortable.
What differentiates Dr. Aunna from any other primary care physician I have been to is that she takes the time to listen to her patients — I’m not just talking about «complaints» or medical «problems» but really about anything in their lives — whether it be their own habits, diet, or any other health and life related goals. She will work with her patients and tailor her treatment in accordance with their own cultural backgrounds, philosophies, and their desires to follow Western medicine, Eastern medicine, or most commonly the perfect hybrid of both.
Although I did end up paying more out of pocket than my regular primary care physician, I have now come off of some of the medicines I was constantly being prescribed and I am in the best physical, mental, and emotional health of my life. Thank you Dr. Aunna!!!
