DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY! I have SIBO with constipation and for 5 months she has not help find exact root cause, nor herbal treatment and no herbal laxatives to help me. I was always left with so many questions after each video visit to the point that she was onky answering what she wanted and later when i became more vocal of lack of treatment, she told me ti get help elsewhere! She claimed she was going to help me find a GI doctor that can prescribe the antibiotics that she says would help, but nothing. I kept losing weight as i couldn't eat too many foods. I left so

This review was sent a while back on another platform- I believe Zocdoc- that seems to have since been refreshed.
So here we go again. Dr. Kuzniar is probably best seen for cosmetic concerns, perhaps for acne or weight issues.
Please think carefully prior to seeing for any acute medical issues!!
If you are in need of medical attention for pressing medical needs - gastrointestinal matters or otherwise- I would not recommend.
Tests results were released upon the doctor's timetable (and whim?) not this patient's needs. So I was unable to coordinate and share already processed but not

Dr. Kuzniar solved an issue with my digestive tract that I didn't even realize I had and has truly changed my life. I no longer experience upsetting occurrences of diarrhea and/or constipation which I thought were my norm. I had been to a gastroenterologist who did not help me, and certainly, none of my regular physicians thought I had a problem. Dr. Kuzniar had me do a breath test and based on the results, prescribed pills from a vitamin store that I had to take for 30 days. The change in my digestive tract did not happen immediately upon finishing the pills, but within a few months

Mixed feelings about Dr.Kuzniar. While she is very nice and she is responsive on emails, I did not really get much out of the appointments. My main issue was digestive, and while it slightly improved, the issues were not resolved. Each appointment was VERY costly between the tests, appt fee, and supplements she recommended, so for the cost that I wouldn't really recommend. Most naturopaths offer an additional service, whether it be acupuncture, biofeedback, cupping, chiropractor, etc. and she does not offer any of that, to my knowledge. While she's not bad, I think there are other naturopaths

Despite the amazing reviews Dr. Kuzniar has, I have to say I had the worst experience with her!
About a year ago I was diagnosed with PCOS by my gynecologist and wanted to try a natural treatment, that's when I found Dr. Kuzniar. First, she said she wasn't convinced I had PCOS (even after showing her all my blood work, ultrasound and my doctors diagnosis). Second, she put me into different supplements and herbs for the past year and I really thought I was being treated properly. However, my symptoms never went away and in every follow up visit I used to complain about the same things

This review is long over due. I came to Dr Kuzniar in my early 20's battling fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. After seeing dozens of doctors that only wanted to put me on antidepressants to "solve" my problems, my mother brought here. Dr Kuzniar sat with me for hours, asking thorough questions, reviewing extensive blood work labs, and most importantly- she listened to me. She believed me. She said that she understood, and had treated people with my illness before. She was the first doctor to give it a name, and make a plan.
It was a long road back, and she helped me every step

I have been looking for a long time for a naturopathic doctor and I was happy from the very start as her office staff was very good at answering a ton of questions I had. They were very patient with me and always called me back. I was impressed with Dr Kuzniar and her extensive knowledge. I chose her because she is board certified and because she knows about Chinese medicine and nutrition two things I myself have been studying over the years. I decided to take my 18 month old to her first then I will do and appointment for myself but I was very happy with our appointment. She was awesome! I found

I made an appointment with Dr. Kuzniar after my MD was ignored my repeated concerns about my recurrent sinus infections. No doctor ad ever taken the time to sit with me and to ask questions that would help get to the root of my problems...then I met Dr. Kuzniar. At first, I was reluctant to make an appointment because naturopathic doctors in New Jersey are unfortunately unable to accept insurance. I was so fed up with feeling sick and tired all of the time that I decided to take a chance and make an appointment, and I'm SO glad that I did! I had done research on natural remedies for sinus

My appointment with with Dr. Kuzniar was my first experience with a naturopathic doctor. Having been trained as a registered nurse in traditional medicine, I was a bit skeptical of how she would be able to help me. However, I was willing to give it a try and I am glad I did. I had been having abnormal papsmears since 2011 and there was concern that this could eventually turn into cervical cancer. This was troubling because I was visiting my gyno every 4 months and it was emotionally stressful. Dr. Kuzniar sat with me and dissected my every day habits as it related to my sleep patterns, my diet

My personal health issues were discussed for 2 hours upon my first visit. Dr. Kuzniar listens, provides great advice, and wants to speak to your personal wellness goals. Everything that she has asked me to do, take, or continue has been life changing for me so far. Conventional medicine wasn't meeting my hopes or expectations. I can speak volumes to how much Dr. Kuzniar has helped me. I highly recommend a visit.

Dr Leat Kuzniar is an AMAZING NP who has endless genuine concern for for my total wellness and I would sincerely recommend her!!!! She was able to "think OUTSIDE THE BOX" when several allopathic MD's over a three year search from University of Penn , Cornell , Harvard docs could NOT come up with the accurate diagnosis!!! With her skilled insightful background in biology and chemistry she was able to look at my allopathic lab results like a genius !!!!!!
It is because of her guidance and protocol I am finally able to deal and embrace menopause and work closely with her for my continued
