Terrain Clinic is at the forefront of fertility and our specialty is helping our patients, both male and female, achieve their fertility goals. Fertility preparation can begin up to 1 year in advance of when you plan to begin trying. We know that men usually wait as long as possible to go to the doctor or get dragged in by their partner, and we want to break that stigma.
Addressing your men's health concerns early-on can prevent future complications. Ladies, we know a ton of you are dealing with hormonal imbalances, especially when it comes to the crazy symptoms associated with your menstrual cycles (or lack of). Let us help you bring your body back into balance.

I'm Dr. Desiree Galante and I'm here to empower, inspire, educate and heal you. I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor in Washington D.C. I grew up in upstate NY in a (very) small rural town in the Catskill Mountains. I received my B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Plattsburgh State University in NY.
Nice to meet you! I'm Dr. Rob Boyd and I love getting results for my clients and helping them feel their absolute best. I am a licensed naturopathic doctor in Washington D.C. I grew up just outside of Dallas, TX and graduated with my B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin in 2011.
I live in a small town northeast of Toronto with my two sons Jaxson who is 12 and Lincoln who is 8. Our picturesque town offers a beautiful lake background for our enjoyment in the summer and winter. As a family we can either be found in a hockey arena or on a ball diamond throughout the year but we also enjoy seeking out new places to road trip to in our beautiful country.
Dr. Galante is an excellent physician. I highly recommend her, particularly for patients with difficult health challenges. Having experienced very complex health problems over many years, I have come across numerous doctors, very few of whom were helpful. Dr. Galante is one of the most intelligent and caring physicians I have seen.

I have been struggling with IBS issues for eight years. After seeing several Doctors, I found Dr. Boyd at the Terrain Clinic. Dr. Boyd truly listens to your issues, gets to know your whole medical history, and really gets to the root of the problem. In just six months, he has helped me feel the best I have every felt. With him, I found hope in getting better. The whole team & process at Terrain Clinic is truly incredible & would 100% recommend.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Galante and Jen (the awesome nutritionist) at Terrain Clinic. From our very first appointment, Dr. Galante and Jen took a very "whole of body" approach to my health, and I have never felt so heard in all of my experience with medical professionals as I did with them. I went to Terrain for assistance in my fertility journey but ended up addressing so much more than just that (sleep, digestive issues, headaches). Couldn't be happier with my experience... just wish I had found them sooner!

When I first saw Dr. Boyd, I was suffering from a host of digestive issues, had gained lots of weight, and was on an extended short term disability because of my illness. My GI doctor gave me a bunch of medications that didn't help. Dr. Boyd was a life-saver. He listened intently (a quality that's quite rare in today's physicians), ordered the proper labs, referred me to a nutritionist (Jen is awesome by the way), gave me supplements, and got to the root of my problems. Today, I am 25 lbs lighter, stomach issues gone, and feel my best. Dr. Boyd really cares and cheers you on when you make progress

I am so grateful that a friend of mine recommended Terrain Clinic to me. I've had an outstanding experience bringing together all aspects of my health with their 6-month program. I am in my second month and feel so much better already. Dr Boyd and Terrain's nutritionist, Jen Ayala, helped me understand my health especially, why I am struggling with weight in spite of eating healthy. They've created a program for me unique to my needs. I was recently diagnosed with an illness and am on a "watch and wait" protocol. Dr Boyd's great skill, knowledge and care is helping me improve the aspects of my

It is rare to find a doctor who is warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable all in one. It is also so important to find a doctor who can guide us intellectually, emotionally and practically during this global health crisis. Dr. Galante is that Doctor. I can not overstate how warm her spirit is- she is patient, kind, and able to hold her patients' concerns in a deeply nurturing way. If you are looking for a doctor who will not quickly push you out of her/his office, or make you feel as though your questions and concerns are irrelevant or inconsequential, then please try Dr. Galante.

My experience with Dr. Galante has been nothing short of amazing. She listens and really wanted to get to the root of my issue. My husband and I spent 3 years trying to conceive with the help of fertility treatments at an area fertility clinic. When IUIs and IVF failed, I decided to give holistic medicine a try. After a hormone test and 2 months on supplements prescribed by Dr. Galante, we conceived naturally! I am beyond elated and thankful I found her. It has truly been a pleasure working with Dr. Galante and I am thankful to be able to talk with her throughout my pregnancy.

I was fortunate to learn about Dr. Boyd and the Terrain Clinic. It is important to find health care providers who can respond to your needs with sound advice and recommendations, rather than simply filling prescriptions. Dr. Boyd provided more personal attention to me in our first visit than any health care provider I have met before.

Amazing thus far! Dr. Boyd actually listened to me and that has been huge for me. I feel like we may actually make some positive moves forward in my gut and thyroid health. I am so ready for more healing. I would highly recommend him and this clinic to all my friends who need help. I can’t wait to see what their nutritionist has planned for me as well.

Since becoming an established patient of Dr. Boyd, I feel very confident in his knowledge and his plan to find the root cause of my symptoms. After seeing numerous GI doctors over the past 30 years, I have found the process to be frustrating with inconclusive and conflicting test results, and varying diagnoses. At times feeling brushed off in the past, even after episodes of significant weight loss, I have found Dr. Boyd's approach to be personalized, extremely comprehensive, and compassionate.

Dr. Galante is a great doctor and listener. I went in with tons of questions and inquiries toward my health and how to take control my body and being able to heal it. She responds quickly with ideas, suggestions and supplements that adjust to my lifestyle and budget. In addition, I really like that she does not pressure her patients on getting a lot of supplements and she advices on when to stop using them. I look forward to continue my treatment with her and highly recommend Terrain Clinic and her to anyone that wants to take control of their health.
