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

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

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.

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.

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

In an extremely difficult year for my health, I am immensely grateful to Dr. Patel for his outstanding care. I began seeing Dr. Patel in June after being diagnosed with several chronic digestive issues (gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis, GERD) and learning about naturopathic medicine online.
When it came to my first session, Dr. Patel was very attentive in listening to my concerns. I shared the symptoms I was dealing with such as intense nausea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, and headaches. He took the time to address not only my overall GI issues but also other aspects of my health and

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

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

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

I had a horrible experience with Maura!! I went some time ago and she really made me waste a lot of money on tests and supplements that didn't address my health concerns. I was dealing with stomach and other auto immune issues and she honestly didn't help me at all - I actually felt worst after seeing her. Additionally, I found her behavior passive aggressive and not professional at all. Thankfully I found another health professional (who was much more kind and compassionate) who helped me tremendously. Stay away from Dr. Maura!!!

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 several years of getting my thyroid dosage and blood test results to 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

A kind, thoughtful, EFFECTIVE healer when it comes to digestive and gut problems. I could not recommend her more highly if you have problems with bloating, constipation, gas, etc. (basically all the IBS/SIBO symptoms.) It's true that the treatment can be expensive, not really because of the office visits/phone calls (which seem pretty reasonably priced) but because the supplements and tests are so pricey. I have insurance and it covered some of the costs of the tests but nothing else. However, I really can't think of a better way to spend my money. The effect her guidance has had on my

Dr. Maura is amazing. She's warm, attentive, and truly treats the whole body. Since working with her I've resolved lifelong stomach issues, improved my energy, identified food allergies and vitamin deficiencies I never knew I had. I've truly never felt better. Working with Doctor Maura has been truly transformative for everything from my mood, to my skin to my overall well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Maura to EVERYONE!! Insurance sometimes doesn't cover holistic healing, which is a shame. Don't let that deter you - every penny is worth how good you'll feel

SUCH a rip-off. Although Dr. Maura is personable, the supplements that cost me over $300 did nothing to improve my energy or health levels.
I saw Dr. Maura before I started a new job so new insurance hadn't kicked in yet.
More alarmingly, I ended up being liable for over $1600 in tests that were done at the lab she recommended - even though she told me that the most I'd be liable for is $300. I've reported her to the Better Business Bureau and would caution buyer beware.
