Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Questionable Science
I visited her for acne and she treated me with light therapy. The therapy was ineffective. She also diagnosed both my sister and mother with Lyme Disease without performing any real tests to prove they had the bacterial disease. She doesn't approach medicine as an actual doctor because she doesn't use lab tests. I do not trust her.

BEWARE! I had a nightmare experience at this office in October/November 2020 and would not recommend to anyone. I went in seeking holistic care for anxiety and depression that I had been dealing with my whole life and was finally ready to look for an alternative that didn't involve medication. My intake was done by Amy. The results of a quick muscle test showed that I had Lyme Disease (something I later found out was a diagnosis for many patience there). Apparently the Lyme Disease was the cause of my crippling anxiety and depression (also determined by a muscle test). I purchased over $3,000 worth of treatments and supplements that were prescribed to help me on my healing journey. I went in for treatments twice (although 3 were prescribed) and when I asked Amy about how the foot detox works, she couldn't tell me. In November 2020, I went back for my appointment with Dr. Linda. I overheard Dr. Linda telling Amy that she wasn't happy about seeing me because I didn't complete

This was the most unconventional experience I have ever had with a doctor, and I am so glad! After countless trips to conventional doctors, desperately trying to get help for my daughter, Dr. Hegstrand spent 2 hours with us and although other family members were skeptical, we proceeded with her recommended treatments. What did I get in return? I HAVE MY DAUGHTER BACK. There are no other words. I thank God for unconventional medicine. So-called "modern medicine" gave us no answers and no patience

I would highly recommend Dr. Hegstrand, particularly to anyone, like myself, who suffered a mysterious, difficult to identify condition, and have wasted time and money chasing the dead end, pharmaceutically driven conventional medical model. Dr. Hegstrand identified my condition that not one of the other 5 physicians I had previously had even thought to test me for. She is smart, kind, patient and thoughtful. I have already scheduled for my follow up care. Her space is old and small. Who cares?!
