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.

Tried to get gut help but…
Intake visit with Dr. Birch went was extensive and fine, but during the two successive visits with him he did not fully answer our questions and was dismissive when we asked again for more complete information. In the end, he recommended us out to a colonics practitioner as his best answer, which was lame and due to the fact that he didn’t have any other suggestions for how to work with our problem. The last appointment we had with him was 11 minutes from start to finish due to his shortness, and that kind of brevity pretty much defeats the purpose of going to a naturopath because you hope this kind of Dr. will really listen, educate and look for solid solutions. We were not impressed, and so we moved on.

I am a 75 year old retired Firefighter. Although I was strong through my 36 year career, I am now dealing with Lyme Disease and life threatening cancer. I have lost 80 pounds and am very weak. I've worked with many local Doctors since my diagnosis of cancer in 2020. Dr. Birch stands out in that he is constantly studying and expanding his medical knowledge. During the times I have seen Dr. Birch, he has continually kept a dialogue of questions concerning the current state of my health. He must write copious notes because he often refers back to minor details from previous visits. He devotes time to ongoing and current research that he does into the cutting edge and newly discovered or updated protocols. I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Birch because of I respect and Love I have developed for this man and his commitment to my well being. I am a very critical old Cuss with a high IQ and 75 years of life experience. Trust your health to this young Genius. You will be well rewarded

Terrible service and waste of money. Took 5 min to book an appointment over a quick phone call and a 2h consultation programed for the next available day in the afternoon. 1- $400 for a two hour consultation where Dr. Birch just sits in front of you nodding his head up and down. All that to ask for a lab test and suggest to swap agave syrup for coconut sugar when drinking coffee. 2- Lab tests, $150, 15 days wait. 3- Lab tests received, 3 week wait for the next possible "appointment" with Dr. Brich. 4- Appoint with Dr Birch confirmed the day before the appointment by a phone call. Nov 31st @3pm and it will cast $150 for a 30min phone call. 5- 3:15 pm, no news from Dr Birch. I call Dr. Birch. 6- "Dr Birch is running late", can he call you back in 5 min? 7- 3:45 pm, Dr Birch finally calls but I am in a meeting myself. 8- 4 pm, I call Dr Birch. He is with another payment but he will be with you shortly. 9- 4:15pm "I am so sorry, Dr Birch will not be able to talk to you today" What about t
