For decades I struggled with undiagnosed Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Hypothyroidism. After finally getting it diagnosed, it still took several trips to different doctors to find one who would treat my symptoms and not just my labs. I would be told "Your bloodwork is normal, you're fine" but I still felt unwell.

Fast forward to medical school many years later. It was then that I really felt the effects of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as I studied and struggled many days to keep up. I had a year long bout of heart palpitations and vertigo that baffled several doctors, including a cardiologist. It took many frustrating trips to different doctors to finally get the true cause diagnosed.
Dr. Lisa Maturo is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor whose focus is on natural endocrinology (hormones), with a very strong emphasis on treating thyroid disease. She is considered a thyroid expert and has treated thousands of patients over the course of nearly two decades in practice. She has a special affinity for offering compassionate care to patients since she has been there herself.
Are you feeling frustrated and discouraged by the experiences you've had with other physicians, including endocrinologists? Have you been told your thyroid levels are "normal" but still have fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, aches & pains and depression? Dr. Lisa Maturo is an expert in thyroid treatment and hormone health.
Bioidentical hormones are synthesized from plants and mimic our natural hormones. They are the most natural approach because they are plant based in their source, and because they so closely resemble what our own bodies produce. This is very important because synthetically derived and altered hormones are different in molecular structure than what our bodies produce and have different and often opposite effects compared to bioidentical hormones.
We offer medically supervised weight loss programs with customized protocols that focus on blood sugar balancing, developing healthy eating habits and lifestyle modifications that lead to a happier and healthier way of life. Our guidebook offers recipes and meal planning ideas.
At our practice you can receive nutrient injectibles to support any program, such as B12 and MIC/Fat Burner shots, which contain methionine, inositol and choline to help with optimizing metabolism and boosting energy.

Excellent, changed my life! Dr Maturo patiently worked with me, adjusting my perimenopause bioidentical hormones, until all my bad symptoms were gone. Then she again worked with me after I hit menopause, for more adjustments. I feel great, feel like myself again! It is worth the process, but may take a few rounds of checking your bloodwork (my insurance covered lab work), but have patience with the process. And be sure to tell Dr M ALL your symptoms, for me, anxiety was a huge one that my levels weren't quite right. Dr M can only help you FULLY if you're honest with ALL your symptoms

I had been questioning my health for years, and had a multitude of blood tests, but no one could figure out what was wrong with me until Dr. Lisa diagnosed me with Hashimoto’s! I have since come to realize that Dr. Maturo is a leading expert on thyroid problems, as she has Hashimoto’s herself! I enjoy the vibe at the office; it’s a small practice where I feel I get personalized attention and care; I’m not just a number. On a personal level, Dr. Lisa is one of my heroes for her commitment to dog rescue.

I began my weight loss journey somewhere else, but after realizing the huge cost difference at Maturo Medical, I switched over and have not only saved almost $400 per month, but I have almost reached my goal weight! Dr. Lisa’s office has a smaller and more personal feel. I felt a big difference between talking to a “sales associate/diet counselor” at the big diet factory, and the more expert and personalized care I get talking to Dr. Lisa. My sister is a thyroid patient and my mom goes for hormones. We think the world of Dr. Maturo!

I have been going to Dr Maturo for at least 12 years now, NEVER have I felt rushed(usually is me that’s rushing them), Dr Maturo and her staff have an extremely warm and friendly bedside manner and (BIG ➕) Considerably cheaper than the other places with tons of commercials. That’s not all, they are a huge advocate for pet rescues and have a special place in my heart and family. Thanks Maturo medical.

Went in for help with weightloss, and didnt receive it. I am perimenopausal and have gained 10+ lbs of belly fat. She didnt have suggestions for that and kept my hormone supplements the same. Waste of money!
No I'm not a bogus patient! Last name is hyphenated and I was at the office about 10 months ago. Dr Maturo suggested eating more lentils like she does to lose weight. That was all the help I received. My current thyroid therapy and brht was kept the same because lab results looked good. I work out 5 days a week, eat healthy and was given no suggestion besides eating lentils to help with my

I highly recommend Dr Maturo for your hormone needs. I was feeling so fatigued and exhausted and had tried different diets and things at home but nothing was working. I got tired of my friends recommending celery juice and essential oils so I wanted to see a Naturopathic Doctor who has the science and education to look at my hormones. She did some simple blood tests to see what was going on. What difference it made! I have so much more energy, and my skin has cleared up. Thank you so much, I'm referring all my friends!!

This place absolutely changed my life !
Before coming to see Dr. Maturo I was overwhelmed, scared and confused about my thyroid condition. On my first appointment I was greeted by the office manager Byron I believe his name was and he was nothing but professional and explained any questions I had about my appointment as well as paper work.
I waited only a few minutes to be called back in to see the doc which is a plus as I've waited HOURS at previous doctors. The MA Julie was very efficient and fun as she has the coolest accent as she's from the UK. She was able to help ease my anxiety

My initial experience with Dr. Maturo was great - as the other reviews said, she was very polite and seemed interested in helping solve the issues I was facing. I never felt "heard" when visiting, but she changed prescriptions, etc., so I thought maybe it was just a personal disconnect. A good doctor is more important than friendliness, so I was totally on board!
Sadly, my last visit to Maturo Medical was very disappointing. She had recommended a blood test, and the purpose of our appointment was to discuss the results and recent symptoms that I'd been experiencing. Instead,

I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Maturo. She sat down and really listened as I explained my concerns with my thyroid. She patiently outlined some great suggestions on how to improve my current treatment (without being pushy or condescending like so many other doctors). If you want someone who will treat you like a person (not a set of test results) go see her!

Worst experience ever, I will never return to this business and will continue to write other reviews to warn others to go elsewhere. Went to Dr.Maturo and paid the $360somthing that is required upfront and what do you get for that? Who knows it's not verified or written anywhere nor is it explained to you so I will tell you what I received for that exorbitant price:

I am beyond thrilled with my visit with Lisa. I have been to several doctors in LA and I am not putting anyone else down but none of them gave me the time or the hope that Lisa has. She was caring, compassionate, knowledgeable. She was so thorough in explaining my blood work. She gave me hope. I already feel better. I could go on and on but I will just say this if your looking for someone who is not only gifted in their field but truly cares about you as a person go see Lisa Maturo. Thanks to everyone in the office as well.

I'm so fortunate that I met Dr. Maturo. I just couldn't understand why I was so tired, why it almost hurt to face my day, then I found out from her that I had Hashimoto's and I was vitamin D deficient: I needed thyroid meds and some vitamins to make me feel better. My hair is even getting thicker. If you aren't sure why you cannot lose weight and feel like garbage, this may be the place for you.

I cannot say enough about the incredible care I am receiving here! When I first came in, my hormone levels were a nightmare. I gained a ton of weight from a medicine I was on and just felt like garbage! Now, I can feel myself getting back to normal, which is great!
I am always seen on time and feel like I am a priority to them. Both the doctor and her staff answer whatever questions I have (in great detail!) and are kind, supportive and helpful! There is also the cutest, most well behaved rescue dog on site, which is really quite wonderful! :)

I have a new life, in great part to Dr. Maturo, and her approach to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy! I had initially recieved treatment via "pellet" therapy at another clinic,and did not notice any great results. Since beginning my treatment with Dr. Maturo, I have noticed a RADICAL difference in my feelings of health and especially well being! I am no longer "tired" in the afternoon, have a ton of energy and feel great! My mood is consistently good and those last 10 lbs. just melted off with the adjustment of my hormones. The last 10 lbs. were the last of a total
