So this is my first experience going to a natural path and let me tell you, wish I had started years ago. I have been seeing Dr. Dreger and he is amazing. He is very professional, answers all my questions and has found solutions to my health issues. Oh.and he did acupuncture for me.let me tell you.better than massage in my humble opinion. I also receive Dr. Gordon's emails, you tube videos and invited to a book club put on by her.
I have been a nurse for 28 years and she has taught me more about nutrition than I learned taking my college nutrition classes. She makes it simple, straight forward and easy to understand. So thank you.highly recommend either of these doctors. You will be in good hands.

We have been seeing Dr Gordon for a few months and are already getting answers on what's really wrong health-wise. We have seen other MD's for two years and all they have done is prescribe Rx for symptoms instead of figuring out the cause of the health issues. No improvements to health until now. We are still working with her as we are only at the tip of the iceberg but we have finally found doctor that we trust and is working with us to find real answers instead of keep us on pills. Dr Gordon and her staff are understanding, caring and wonderful to work with.

Dr. Dreger was able to alleviate pain I have had for over 8 months. His knowledge and expertise is above excellent. The mistake made is the fact that I should have seen him first instead of spending time and money elsewhere. He recognized the problem right away and was able to go forth with the proper treatments. I am grateful that I am going to get back to living pain free.

The best natural health Care clinic around. Caring, genuine doctors that get to the point and help you to feel better! They listen to you, address your needs and accurately pinpoint your deficiencies. They have helped my husband and myself feel better after thinking this was as good as we were ever going to be. They deserve 10 out of 5 stars because they go above and beyond to help you. And Dr Gary Dredger is the best!

Dr. Gordon is just awesome. She is thorough, explains the process and goes the extra mile to figure things out. I've seen a significant improvement in my health since I began treatment. I start acupuncture with Zach this week and am looking forward to it!
