Patient Testimonials from our Naturopathic Doctors

A personal thank you

I just wanted to send you a personal thank you for all the advice you gave my last fall/ winter. With my thyroid numbers being so high and my hyperthyroid being out of control, I thought it was going to be a long hard battle. However, following your advice ( still to the day!!) my numbers corrected by January, and we have decreased my dosage every other month. My endo is a little confused by my progress and called yesterday to tell me to stop taking my medication (after only 9 months!). We will see how the next 6 weeks go and if I am truly in remission. Although I am sure the medication played a role, more than that, I believe is the natural solutions you provided for me is the main factor. So I just wanted to write to say thank you so so much! Also thank you for giving me the nudge I needed to go from vegetarian to vegan. I feel so good and love this lifestyle. My husband has even started eating plant-based meals at dinner ( I don’t do any of the fake meats or such. All plants!. So thank you thank you!! You are very knowledgable and great at your job. =)

Allison is a caring doctor

Allison also helped me understand my thyroid disorder and to ask the right questions of my internist … she also helped me to understand the changes in my bone density reports. I highly recommend Allison, because she looks at the whole person and works to help us heal and improve more naturally and less chemically. Allison is a caring doctor, and you can go to her with any health question.

Dr. Tracy has truly been a life-altering experience

Becoming a patient of Dr. Tracy has truly been a life-altering experience. Prior to meeting her, I spent over two years chronically ill and completely miserable with nothing but wrong answers and unnecessary prescriptions from previous “conventional” physicians. Dr. Tracy was the first person to sit down, really listen to my issues, then diagnose and treat my real health problems instead of masking my symptoms. She has made it possible for me to regain the active lifestyle I had lost and missed so much. My life wouldn’t be the same without her.

Dr. Tracy is a genuine and caring person

She has helped my younger son with eliminating years of Asthma, eczema and identified and clear all his food allergies. My son is completely inhaler free from “Advair/Albuterol” for the past 2 years. Fantastic! Dr. Tracy is a genuine and caring person that listens to her patients and uses preventive care to helping them through serious health issues. She has a vast knowledge and experience in biology and biochemistry, whole food nutrition, detoxification, women health and more…I trust her like no other. I highly recommend Dr. Tracy.

Dr. Tracy is very knowledgeable and thorough

I received a recommendation from a friend to see Dr. Amanda Tracy, ND (Naturopathic Doctor) as I have been suffering from many digestive and intestinal issues. Dr. Tracy is very knowledgeable and thorough and her recommendations for diet and supplement changes have resulted in noticeable improvements in just one month. She was familiar with my condition, called “Leaky Gut Syndrome” which has been a struggle when seeking answers from traditional medicine – they don’t know what it is, or if they do, they don’t know how to effectively treat it. Dr. Tracy has gone the extra mile to provide helpful recipes as well and I am very pleased with my treatment so far.

Dr. Tracy knew exactly what was happening and how to address it

I saw many doctors with my 4-year-old boy. He suffered from asthma, food allergies and digestive problems. When we saw Dr. Tracy he had lost 6 pounds, suffered strong stomach pain after each food intake, constant ear infections, lack of appetite and abnormal weight loss. He was facing a colon biopsy, colonoscopy, ultrasounds, and more at such a short age! I was very scared. After 3 months under her care, without any invasive treatment, he has gained 8 pounds, he is completely off the inhaler, he is eating with not even one episode of stomachache. He is finally a healthy child! Dr. Tracy knew exactly what was happening and how to address it, and was very clear explaining everything to me, his new diet, medications, supplements, etc. I totally support the power of healing through nutrition and witness the miracle of the body’s self healing everyday, thanks to her knowledge!

Dr. Willette empowered me to take charge of my medical care

Dr. Willette empowered me to take charge of my medical care – seeking medical advice but taking what only fit my philosophy. Working with homeopathy and homeopathic assessment has given greater insight into myself, where my strengths and weaknesses lie, and what I need to work on. She is extremely knowledgeable, conveys information in a way that is clear and resonant, spends the time that is needed to get to know a person, and once she knows you she provides great insights into ways to change or modify behavior for better overall health.

Easy to follow and practical

Dr. Tracy has helped me with many health issues over the years including insomnia, fatigue, low energy, weight loss and detoxification. I am an avid consumer of alternative health information from both magazines and the internet and at times it can be overwhelming. Dr. Tracy is able to help me focus on what would be most helpful for my health. I enjoy working with her because her treatment plans are easy to follow and practical.

Emphasis on the root cause of my problems

As a lifelong “healthy” guy (marathon runner) who has always worked out frequently, it was a real shock when I suffered a heart attack in 2004. At the time of the heart attack, I had been taking medication for high cholesterol for the previous two years and had my “numbers” well within the proper levels (under 180 total cholesterol). It was after the heart attack that I decided to find the cause of my problems and cure those problems naturally, rather than continue just masking symptoms with medicines. Dr. Tracy has been a tremendous resource for information and guidance in helping me restore my body to its proper balance so that my energy levels are high and I am at significantly lower risk for a recurrence of the heart condition. Her emphasis on getting to the root cause of my problems instead of just getting rid of symptoms makes perfect sense to me and leaves me wondering why the heck “real” doctors don’t see the logic of such a philosophy.

Feeling really grateful for all your help

I was just thinking of how lost I would be if I only had conventional doctors to help me. I am feeling really grateful for all your help these past 4 years, and I am so happy for the good health I do have that you helped me to create. Just wanted to share that with you!

Finally found a great doctor!

It was important to me to find someone who … listen to me; explain and educate me on the “root cause” of my symptom … and most importantly, how to prevent the issues from reoccurring. Dr. Willette provides a high level of compassion and understanding to her patients.

Grateful for her knowledge, guidance, and support

Dr. Willette recommended strategies to address, including dietary changes and supplements, and coordinated setting us up with a reputable vendor to obtain what we needed – to ensure we were getting the highest quality product… We are incredibly grateful for her knowledge, guidance, and support and credit her often with the turnaround we saw.

Highly recommend Dr. Tracy for achieving optimal health

I highly recommend Dr. Tracy for achieving optimal health. She has helped me gain control of my many health issues, from interstitial cystitis to hormonal problems. She has also helped my son, who has suffered from many ear infections; he has never been on an antibiotic thanks to Dr. Tracy. I take him to see her whenever he is sick. She is very knowledgeable and is able to thoroughly explain how and why things happen and work the way they do. Just remember that achieving health through natural means takes time. You have to give it a chance and be loyal to what she recommends.

I am healing and steadily improving without prescription drugs

Dr. Amanda Tracy is treating me for Ankylosing Spondylitis, as well as perimenopausal symptoms. She diagnosed digestive and hormonal imbalances, and food allergies. Testing was simple, done at home, and non- invasive. I am healing and steadily improving without prescription drugs. Dr. Tracy really listens to her patients and responds with clear written instructions along with her advice. She has solved health issues of mine that traditional doctors and specialists could not. There is no way to put a value on the relief she has given me- solving the mystery of those disruptive and painful symptoms.

I appreciated her effective natural approach

I sought Dr. Amanda Tracy’s professional advice in 2009 when my son’s allergies/asthma weren’t controlled with 5 prescriptions. She worked with me to boost his immune system naturally, while advising me to keep him on the medications. One year later, he was off all medications and simply taking natural supplements. I appreciated her natural approach to boosting the body’s own defenses, while recognizing that western medicines do have a place. In 2010, I sought her advice again. My son had been exhibiting a lack of focus that was interfering with his school work and life in general. His teacher recommended ADHD drugs; his doctor couldn’t find anything wrong. After some bloodwork, Dr. Tracy recommended some food substitutions. She said his body wasn’t tolerating certain foods. Within 2 months of changing his diet, it was as if my son woke up. He is now focused and much healthier. I whole-hearted recommend Dr. Amanda Tracy. She takes the time to listen, to respect your medical journey, and provide natural solutions for your body.

My overall health is constantly improving

I first visited Dr. Tracy at Advanced Health & Wellness because of high glucose and low zinc status diagnosed by my blood tests. Dr. Tracy took the time to carefully review and explain the cause of my diagnoses and list of symptoms that I had brought to her office. After leaving her office, I started taking the recommended dosage of supplements and my energy has improved. I feel my overall health is constantly improving.

She is as kind and personable as she is knowledgeable

It is easy to recommend Dr. Tracy because I am always singing her praises! She is as kind and personable as she is knowledgeable. Her understanding of human biology and physiology goes right to the cellular level. I am so impressed with her understanding of the systems of the body and how they work and interact. Dr. Tracy NEVER just throws recommendations of supplements at a problem. Instead, she takes the time to understand and interpret and learn all the necessary information to make an educated determination that is specific to the unique and complicated co-existing conditions of the patient. Her arsenal of go-to recommendations includes a consideration of all possible solutions, from standard supplements to such unusual suggestions as flower essence remedies. Dr. Tracy is always available to answer a question of clarification between appointments. I recommend her enthusiastically.

Thank you for treating my allergies

I had been a long-time sufferer of seasonal allergies every year and after consulting with Dr. Tracy, I learned that my frequent stomach aches and nausea may be related to my allergy symptoms. While my runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes were my primary concern, I was happy that after following her plan of dietary changes, vitamins and supplements that my digestive problems also went away.

Thank you, Dr. Tracy

My 8-year-old son had been diagnosed by his pediatrician to have attention deficit disorder. Medication and behavior modification were given as options for a treatment plan. After a great deal of thought, we decided to take a more natural approach. Dr. Tracy suggested having his tested for food sensitivities. As it turned out, the tests came back positive. We modified his diet and included supplements to help heal his intestines. In just these past few months we have seen much improvement in his attentiveness at school.

Thorough evaluation

Dr. Willette asked many questions – not only about my symptoms, but about my day, my sleep, my stress level, things about me that weren’t directly related, or so I thought, to my digestion. Dr. Willette gave me concrete suggestions that were helpful and practical. I feel we have a relationship … There is a deep level of understanding about me as a whole person, … and she is practical about what changes I’m capable of making – there is no judgment.
