I am so very happy that I found Dr. Ramson and Nourish Medical Center. Everyone there is very warm and welcoming including the front desk and Grant the lab technician who I have seen several times. Shout out to Grant for making blood draws quick and painless, and for helping me sort out my insurance questions.

I had been struggling for some time with a lot of strange, complicated symptoms that included extreme fatigue, dizziness, heart palpitations and tachycardia, anxiety and panic attacks, weird throat sensations/cramping, hair shedding, digestive issues, muscle pains, numb/tingling hands and feet and more. I landed in Urgent Care and the ER on several occasions but surprise surprise, no one could give me any answers. As a mom of 4 and a small business owner, I can't tell you how extremely distressing it is to not be able to take care of your children or even get out of bed. I lived in fear every day.
I have always been holistic minded and taken care of myself and researched everything but I knew I was in over my head and needed help, and that a trip to Sprouts wasn't going to cut it. I knew I needed a whole body, integrative doctor to look at the whole picture and so I started looking for Naturopaths/Holistic Doctors. I found Nourish and I met Dr. Ramson. I immediately felt at peace in her presence and knew for a fact that we were going to figure this thing out. She has such a compassionate, gentle and kind spirit and really listened to me and made meticulous notes on every single symptom I had been experiencing. And I threw a lot at her.
We decided to do a ton of testing and it gave us so many answers. I did end up with a diagnosis which is treatable, and in Dr. Ramson's view is also reversible. Everything I had been experiencing was connected. She gave me a detailed course of action that I am following that includes significant diet and lifestyle changes, and thyroid medication. I was extremely hesitant to take a prescription medicine but after doing my research and talking to Dr. Ramson I understood that my body really needed it, and I felt comforted that it was a more natural thyroid medicine, and different from what I might have been prescribed by a typical MD. It took years for this condition to develop and I realized my body desperately needed help to begin to heal.

It's been a few months and I have to say that I feel SO MUCH BETTER! Every symptom I was having is either significantly better or is gone completely. But I am doing the work. It isn't always easy, but it's my health and I will do whatever it takes. The most important thing is that the numbers don't lie- my latest labs show all my numbers going in the right direction! Had I gone to a traditional medical doctor I know I would have just been given conventional thyroid medicine and told to take it for life and that my condition is permanent. I know I have a ways to go but I feel very confident that I am in the best hands at Nourish Medical Center and I know that Dr. Ramson will guide me through every step of the way.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you Dr. Ramson for all that you and your staff do. I have told you before that I know it must not be easy practicing medicine in the way that you do, it is in conflict with the standard medical model. But I want to tell you that there are people like me out there who desperately need you to keep doing what you do. It's such important work and you must know how much it is valued and admired. Thank you so much.

Nourish medical center has been a godsend. Dr. Starr has been my doctor in my healing journey. I've never met a doctor like her: empathetic, kind and intelligent. She has a wealth of knowledgeable and has caught many issues that other doctors have missed. Have you ever hear a patient say that they love their doctor? Well, I do. I am so grateful to her and to nourish for being part of my healing journey.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the doctors and office staff at Nourish. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by how amazing they are and how much I love them! I have been working with Dr. Starr and Dr. DJ for almost a year now and I cannot believe the amount of progress I have seen! I love how they both take such a full body approach to healing; no symptom is too small or too insignificant to address and they work their tails off to get to the root cause of every single one. I remember crying after my first appointment with each of them because I finally found doctors who actually listened to me and were not rushing me out of the room to get to their next appointments.
I was diagnosed with Hoshimoto's Thyroid Disease a few years ago (along with a whole host of digestive issues and terrible stomach pains) and in less than a year of working with Dr. Starr my thyroid levels and antibodies are finally within their normal range and I cannot believe how good I feel on a day to day basis! With Dr. Starr, I worked on detoxing through herbs and I was able to pass hundreds of parasites in no time.
I was also diagnosed with a scarring form of alopecia causing a lot of inflammation on my scalp, so Dr. Starr suggested that I pay a visit to their hair and skin expert, Dr. DJ. Dr. DJ took me under her wing and immediately got me on an amazing hair and scalp routine. My scalp inflammation is finally gone and I am now finding baby hairs in places I haven't seen new growth in over six years! Dermatologists in the past had always told me that minoxidil was my only option and I am so glad I chose to listen to Dr. DJ and Dr. Starrr who are healing me from the inside out. I love how the doctors here work together and put their patients first. These women are both absolute angels on earth! I know that they have both spent countless hours of their own time helping me and researching ways to heal my autoimmune diseases instead of just masking my symptoms. After visiting about 40 different dermatologists, endocrinologists, etc, and being ignored for my hair loss and digestive issues, I am always blown away by how much these women care about me and my health. They are both truly so selfless, knowledgable, and caring! I cannot thank Dr. DJ and Dr. Starr enough, as they have truly changed my life.
Aside from all of the wonderful doctors here, I absolutely love the office staff as well! They are always so welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful when it comes to billing and insurance. They are very upfront about the out of pocket costs of every test, visit, procedure, etc and are always willing to bill eligible items, like bloodwork, through my insurance. I believe the costs are very reasonable considering the care and knowledge you receive from the doctors here. I cannot recommend this office enough!

This place is so soothing and incredible!! The amount our knowledge in these professionals is overwhelming and yet they are able to put things in an easy to understand language. I was finally able to find out what was going on in my own body, get healthier, reduce pain and inflammation, and lose weight! (The weight loss wasn't even my intention haha) Dr. Starr is so sweet and smart and understanding yet determined to investigate every last possibility to help you feel your best. My sister and I both see her as a result of this! I would not trust anyone or myself to any other place.

I recommend Nourish Medical Center to everyone I know!! Dr. Starr has completely changed my life. I first met her earlier this year after finding out I had the E. Coli bacteria. Not only did she relieve my pain and discomfort from the E. Coli, but she did comprehensive tests to check my overall health because of digestive issues I mentioned I had in the past. To my surprise, I had been living with many food sensitivities, poor adrenal gland function, and leaky gut without my knowledge. Not only is Dr. Starr healing me, she is doing it naturally!! She has a holistic approach and has taught me the food we eat is so important to our mental, physical, and emotional health. I can't thank her enough for all she has done, and I look forward to each visit.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review but better late than never.

So I had been having stomach problems for about two years. Every doctor that I went to just said the standard, give up dairy and bread, do paleo, take some probiotics. All without knowing the problem or even pretending to think about the cause. I was so frustrated but eventually decided to give it one more try and maybe I had just been looking in the wrong place. I started looking for a Naturopath, which to be honest I didn't know much about so I am so glad I followed through with it. I came in to see Dr. Ramson. Wow, she is a beautiful soul and amazing doctor in one. She actually tried to look for the problem before spitting out solutions, she cares about you as a person and not going to lie after a couple visits I think I would come in for a consult just to talk to her for an hour haha. Well back to my stomach problems. Through our time together we found that i had SIBO. We did a treatment and while I don't know just yet if I am SIBO free, I am doing so much better. I have way more "normal life" moments now that SIBO had taken from me. Not only that but she has helped me feel more in control of my overall health.

I am leaving San Diego and so sad that I can't take Dr. Ramson with me. I hope I can find another doctor that compares to her.

This review is for Dr. Starr Ramson, ND, a provider at Nourish Medical Center: I’ve been working with her for 3 months and in these 3 months she has cured a severe hormonal & neurological issue I’ve had for 15 years. Not only did she cure it, she got to the root cause of exactly the issue. No other medical professional could do this - I tried many different doctors. I also appreciate that she is empathetic, collaborative, and very responsive. She provides a level of care and attention I am not used to getting in the medical field. She explains everything in detail and validates my concerns. Her approach is very tailored - treating based on my unique brain chemistry, hormone levels, and genetics. I HIGHLY recommend her for difficult women’s health issues - hormonal and neurological. It has been an investment with appointments, labs, and supplements - but honestly the best money I’ve ever spent as I’ve gotten concrete answers, full understanding, as well as 100% improvement in symptoms physically and mentally.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr Starr Ramson!! She is so knowledgeable & caring! She always takes time with me, which is helpful to her getting the big picture of what's going on in my body & I never felt like she was rushing me. I reached out to her a few years ago as I was having severe fatigue, dizziness & other alarming symptoms. I had seen my primary doctor but they couldn't help as they didn't know what was wrong. After my first appointment with Dr Ramson, she was able to pin point the cause, we had a game plan & after following her protocol, I felt amazing!!! She helped me understand more about my body & I can't thank her enough!!! Now a few years later, I'm seeing her to address gut health issues & I'm confident of victorious results!! I am forever grateful for her knowledge & support! She is one of a kind & I can't thank her enough!!!!!!
