I feel so lucky to have found Nourish and Dr. Starr Ramson! This December I will have been under the care of Dr. Starr for almost 2 years. She is a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to go the extra mile for her patients. She has spent hours and hours of her time researching the best supplements and treatments for my various health concerns over the years. Dr. Starr has helped me eliminate candida overgrowth in my body as well as balance my hormones. Sorry, this might be TMI but I always have to keep it real. I had serious PMS with extremely heavy periods lasting 7 days...as well as major breast tenderness that would begin at least 2 weeks before menstruation. I was also very anemic because of the amount of blood I would lose every month. Imagine being miserable for 2 to 3 weeks out of EVERY month?! After some testing and about 3 months of taking the recommended supplements I was a different woman! My periods now last 3-4 days and the hemorrhaging is so much lighter than what it used to be. I also no longer have breast tenderness! So balancing my hormones has helped in more ways than one. Dr. Starr and I are now currently working on my energy levels and weight struggles (i.e. my adrenal glands and thyroid). Please keep in mind that alternative medicine isn't a quick fix...so don't expect immediate results. Getting to the root of your health issues takes time, but it is SO worth it. I've had so many "ah ha!" moments on this health journey with Dr. Starr and I'm very grateful that the universe led me to her as she is an amazing ND and has changed my life for the better.
Every morning since as long as I can remember, I would feel nauseas, get an upset stomach, and wouldn't be able to eat breakfast. It's something that I just learned to cope with. I've also dealt with unexplained fatigue and brain fog for the last 10 years. And in the last two years, I developed a rash around my eyes and struggled with very dry skin. My husband and I had been searching for a naturopath and came across Nourish Medical Center. The clinic is super clean, organized, and the staff is friendly. Now I will move on to doctor DJ...the doctor I had the absolute pleasure of working with!! Where do I begin with this woman!? She is so so kind, so respectful and looked out for me as if I'm her sister. We connected very deeply, especially after finding out we share the common faith of Christianity. She incorporated my faith into all of my visits and let me tell you, it's something I've really appreciated because my faith is the foundation of who I am. She put me on a liver cleanse, gave me some orders to follow at home such as skin brushing, sauna, etc. Then she collected blood work and found that I had some food sensitivities and gut issues. She had me eliminate those certain foods from my diet and put me on some supplements and vitamins. I have strictly followed all of her orders and take my supplements religiously and can I just say...I FINALLY know what it feels like to wake up in the morning and not feel like I'm going to puke. My energy is 10/10, I am so much more productive in my day to day life, my skin is hydrated again, and I don't have brain fog anymore!! I feel genuinely confused because I had been so used to these issues and now they're gone. I'm just truly thankful to Dr. DJ for the excellent care and support. You are an angel!
I have done extensive research and tried to narrow down a reliable and professional holistic center. I was referred to this center, after months of research and watching their educational videos I scheduled an appointment. I saw Anthony Frank for my initial appt. and it was great! Their collaborative and professional approach was stellar and it made me feel confident to collaborate and work together to find the root of my problems, rather than just treating the symptoms w drugs as it is seen with conventional doctors.I've never felt so empowered after my 1 hour analysis, not only with education of the why but with the solutions via customized plans and supplement aids. After 1 month I already feel the difference in the different problems I was treated. I now have a followup appt. to analyze the different tests I did during my visit. Not only my doctor was friendly and helpful but also the rest of the staff there which I talked to. I HIGHLY recommend their practice to anyone. I wish they would extend their practice and or teach others their magic. The world would be a better place if they did 🙂

Arnold B.12 yrs ago, I was diagnosed with Dyshidrotic Eczema from my Dermatologist which resulted in blisters on my hands, rashes on my elbows, arms, leg, back and neck that never healed. During this 12 yrs, I've consulted with 6 of the best Dermatologists in San Diego for their feedback. They all told me, it was contact dermatitis and "there is no cure for Eczema". I kept getting prescribe Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 Clobetasol, Triamcinolone and Fluocinonide ointments and creams. They would work for the a 2 week period but during the off time, I'd get new flareups on different parts of my body. This was very upsetting and the last Dermatologist at Scripps gave me a brochure for Dupixent and told me to read up on it and schedule an appointment if I was interested. HECK NO!!I suffered on and off for 12 long years and it got to the point where none of the topical steroids and even Prednisone were no longer effective to clear up my skin. I also got a food allergy tests and found out that I was allergic to Nickel. My wife has helped tremendously by switching all of our household products to natural and chemical free products. She then reached out to Dr. Jess on IG and she suggested Nourish Medical Center, specifically Dr. DJ Sims. It wasn't until my first consultation that she told me that my eczema was caused by bad/leaky gut health and it can help naturally reduce my eczema, even get rid of it. I also had adrenal fatigue which resulted in me losing 30 lbs. I was always tired since the topical steroids have suppressed my adrenal glands. FINALLY SOME HELP!!!!Dr. Sims put me on a strict elemental diet for 2 weeks. Then a protein and vegetable diet, added fish oil, L-Glutamine, Zinc, 10 day gut cleanse, Vitamin D3 for the next 2 months. I'm on month 6 (started my cleanse from topical steroids on Nov 18, 2019) and during this time, I researched about the long term Red Skin Syndrome and Topical Steroid Withdrawl recovering time. I prepared myself that I'll have to suffer for the next year or so. My whole body did not like the lapse of topical steroids and after a month my body was covered with rashes. My hands were red and swollen. I kept my skin hydrated with un-petroleum ointment as well as other products to help keep my cool my skin. It helped keep my skin hydrated to a certain degree but it was very uncomfortable when I put my clothes on. I absolutely hated every minute of it. Thanks to Dr. Sims, she suggested to try the Kamedis Eczema Therapy cream and wash. This cream has helped out my skin tremendously. The red patches all over my body have shrunk and dried out. Some of the deep eczema wounds are just a darker pigment of my skin and most importantly, my skin is no longer red, burns and itches. I can actually take a regular shower with luke warm water now, I can finally sleep 8 hrs w/out waking up every 2 hrs to re-apply the un-petroleum ointment and most importantly, clothes feel comfortable on my skin. I'm about 6 months into this journey and even though I'm not fully healed, my body is 98% better.. THANK YOU Dr. DJ SIMS and Nourish Medical Center for all of your help!! Not everyone's body is the same and thanks to your precision approach by diagnosing and treating each person individually. I'm finally on the path to full and natural healing.
I can’t say enough good things about Nourish Medical Center. Staff is lovely and the space is clean and inviting. I see Dr Stewart and she has helped me immensely on my healing journey. Helping me unfold my health and find answers that I couldn’t get answers to with PCP’s. I am so happy I found her to be a part of my health journey. I always look forward to our appts, not only has she helped me find peace in my health l but I am not afraid to ask questions! Our discussions in regards to my health leave me understanding what’s going on with my body, rather than questioning and trying to fight for my health like I’ve had to do with so many other Drs. I feel blessed to have her on my team of health practitioners. Heart to heart moment: if you’ve been questioning and looking for answers, honestly make the jump and put your health first. You won’t regret it and you won’t regret choosing Nourish Medical Center to be at your side for it.
I want to thank Dr. Dejarra Sims for helping me get my life back! For years I have suffered with very heavy cycles and was recently diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I was told of ways to treat them through conventional medicine and was not ready to go that route because of the side effects and potential surgeries. I was determined to have them healed naturally and prayed to God for a solution that would heal them. God led me to Dr. DJ. She listened and led me to get various natural supplements that would begin to regulate my hormones and my cycles. My cycles have gotten better, my energy levels have increased, my body is healing and I've also been able to lose weight quickly! Before the supplement regiment I was having trouble losing weight even with diet and exercise it would fluctuate up and down. I thought it was just because I was getting older it was getting harder. But now that my hormones are getting regulated it has been much easier and the weight is falling off much quicker! I want to thank Dr. DJ again for her wisdom, knowledge, integrity, patience and caring heart for her patients!
I found Dr. Martinez in October 2014 and I am so glad I did! I was suffering from chronic infections and after many rounds of antibiotics within a few months, I knew I had to dig deeper and find a doctor that wouldn't just keep feeding me "band-aids" and prescriptions. Dr. Martinez knew exactly what to test for and boy am I glad she did. I have been infection/antibiotic free for a whole year now since following her instructions to heal my body. Although I was fairly overwhelmed with all of the not so amazing results of the tests, (Candida overgrowth, heavy metals, leaky gut) she knew exactly what to do and I felt relieved despite the news. She is SO supportive, uplifting, charismatic, and optimistic. She truly listens to all of my concerns/opinions/ideas and most definitely wants the absolute best for all of her patients. It is always such a pleasure to spend the time with her as well. I've never felt better! I have recommended her to a friend of mine and she is just as pleased.
Nourish Medical Center is the most warm and comprehensive, wellness-based clinics that I've ever visited. The staff is friendly, passionate, and extremely knowledgable. I have recommended many of my friends and patients to Nourish!
Dr. Martinez has been an answer to prayer in treating both of my daughters. She is an excellent doctor and an equally amazing real person. I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her. I love that she treats my daughters holistically. We travel 90 minutes away to see Dr Martinez; well worth the trip. Sincerely, Donna Hebert-Pfeiffer.
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.

I was referred to Nourish through a friend and have enjoyed every interaction since. I have Hashimotos and while most doctors say "take this pill for the rest of your life," what I like most about Nourish is that they offer alternative ways to heal the body besides just taking a prescription. They actually listen to you and provide best recommendations for your life. Dr. Stewart has been amazing & her front desk staff are always so helpful. Appreciate you all! Highly recommend getting into Nourish, even if it takes a bit of a wait.
I feel so grateful to have found Dr. Martinez at Nourish Medical Center. Having been diagnosed with 2 autoimmune diseases by the age of 28, I knew that future illness was inevitable unless I started to address the root cause. I wasn't getting the support I needed from my endocrinologist, so when I came across Dr. Martinez's website and saw her extensive knowledge in thyroid health and hormone balancing, I was eager to meet.
Our first appointment was 5 months ago and I am so happy with the health journey Dr. Martinez is helping me navigate. Thus far, I have lost weight, completely changed my mindset around what constitutes a healthy diet, lowered my thyroid antibodies and regulated some really crucial hormone levels. Dr. Martinez is thorough, understanding, incredibly smart and thoughtful in her approach. She genuinely wants me to succeed and isn't afraid to alter our plan or make modifications if something isn't agreeing with my body. Most importantly, I feel comfortable telling her about the smallest symptom without judgement or dismissal, which is so important to me.
I am so happy to have made the investment in my health and I never hesitate to pass along Dr. Martinez's information. I know she can help a lot of people with living their healthiest lives.
I would highly recommend anyone come in and see Dr. Stewart (and the great staff). She truly has been amazing at listening to my issues and helping me solve and manage my chronic stomach issues -- just in time for my wedding. My health insurance did not cover the visits, but it was well worth the money spent. I look forward to working with Dr. Stewart and managing my health and wellness.
Love this place! First off, it's super cute, inviting and clean! Such a different feel from your average stale doctors office that I dread going to. I've been seeing Dr. Martinez who is the sweetest! I have so appreciated her gentle spirit and knowing she truly cares about all my issues and concerns. She helps to explain and inform about sometimes complex topics to help me better understand whats going on, and tackle the issues in the best way. I have felt a 180 shift for the better after following her expertise and look forward to continuing on the path to optimal health. I had some blood work done with Damarias who was obviously a seasoned pro. It was quick and easy, and we enjoyed a and friendly conversation while I was in and out in minutes. The front desk staff has always been friendly and efficient with booking appointments and any questions I've had. For me, having a place like Nourish that I look forward to visiting and TRUST in for my care is PRICELESS!
Dr. Sims is a healer in every sense of the word. With her vast knowledge and experience in naturopathic medicine, she has guided me through a journey of healing and self-renewal that I would have never been able to complete on my own. As a 31 year old male, I have suffered from acne and food sensitivities ever since I was a 17 year old freshman in college. Numerous trips to the dermatologist's office throughout my early twenties would result in prescriptions for treatments such as antibiotics and topical creams that would offer some relief at the expense of stomach aches and irritated skin. Never would I suspect that these treatments were only functional band aids that masked a growing imbalance in my gut, one that I would only begin to learn about 4 years ago. Around the age of 27 I began to notice increasing stomach discomfort upon eating certain foods, more frequent breakouts and the emergence of chronic redness around the edges of my nose.Over the years I tried many different remedies to cure my acne with limited success. Up until a few months ago I thought I had tried everything (heck even acupuncture and herbs!) to naturally heal my acne and address my growing digestive issues. Boy was I wrong. Earlier this year I began looking into Naturopathic doctors for the treatment of a condition called "leaky gut." I was 90% sure that I was suffering from it and when I had my free phone consultation with Dr. Sims, she assured me that my issues were definitely linked to a gut imbalance and that I would soon be able to eliminate my food sensitivities and cure my acne with her protocol. I was astonished. Her sense of calm and reassurance was enough to convince me to take a chance, after all it was worth a shot. It would be an investment in my health that was a long time coming.After running some labs she confirmed my suspicions. I had leaky gut alright. She immediately began a protocol which consisted of a modified elimination diet, and mixture of supplements that aimed to detox my body and begin the gut healing process. I had my first appointment on August 25th. I am now about three and a half months into the treatment protocol and to say I am impressed with my progress so far would be an understatement. The frequency of my breakouts has dropped dramatically. The redness around the edges of my nose is clearing up day by day. I've also noticed that when I do break out, the acne heals much faster now. Dr. Sims assures me that my progress will only get better with time and after seeing the results I've had so far, I believe her without a doubt. I am truly grateful for finding Dr. Sims and thankful that such a treatment exists. Where conventional medicine has failed me, she has stepped in to save the day.I did want to finish my story by noting that my case of acne was mild to moderate but very predictable and linked to food sensitivities. Those with more severe acne might have to wait longer to see results but trust me they will come. And the results are worth it. Not only am I happy to be seeing clear skin, but I have also noticed improved mood, energy levels, sleep and focus. I couldn't have asked for a better gift this Christmas. Thank you Dr. Sims, and thank you Nourish for changing lives!
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 went to see Dr. DJ Sims for acne, because she is a skin EXPERT! I had struggled with acne starting in my teens and continuing into my early twenties. I had tried every topical product as well as medications, and my skin had only worsened over time. Dr. Sims was the first doctor to make me feel assured that she could get my skin to clear, and she did exactly that. She looked at every area of my health and guided me through the process of healing my gut, hormonal imbalances, and stress. She used lab testing to determine the specific dietary changes & supplementation I needed, and directed me to more intensive treatments such as colonics, skin peels, and micro-needling with PRP. My skin has immensely improved, and everyone with acne should see Dr. Sims!
Dr. Stewart and the staff at Nourish Medical are truly exceptional. Everyone in the office is so helpful, kind and caring. I have been a patient for over 3 years and couldn't be happier with my progress. Dr. Stewart has helped me manage hormone balancing as well as my overall health. During my visits, she is thorough, very detailed and is such a great listener. It's so nice to have a doctor that truly cares about all of your needs and concerns. Virtual appointments during the Covid crisis have been extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Dr. Stewart and Nourish Medical Center!
I am soooo very grateful for the kind, caring, intuitive skills, expertise and guidance I have received from Dr Martinez in my quest for improved health! Prior to going to Dr Martinez I endured repeated health problems for one unknown reason after another plus countless Dr visits when a friend of mine, whose family had already experienced healing with the help of Dr Martinez, encouraged me to also give this awesome Dr a try in hopes she could help me. AND, SHE HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY! She has persevered in her quest to discover the reasons and the remedies for my particular health challenges and the results have been amazing! I feel so much better not only physically but, mentally as well because of the possibilities in maintaining this improvement. There really are not enough ways to express my joy in getting to work AS A TEAM with such a knowledgeable professional where my best health is of utmost importance. She is a blessing to me!
For several years, we took our son (now 7 years old) to specialists for chronic, and sometimes severe eczema. They prescribed all sorts of pharmaceuticals that I refused to put on him due to black box cancer warnings, etc. I asked my allergist if he could see my son, and said he does not see children but that "he could look at him and tell he has food allergies." The problem was, he had been tested for food allergies by a pediatric allergist at Rady, and the results were negative. I started reading about food sensitivities online and eventually made an appointment with Dr. Gelman to do sensitivity testing. The test showed that he had the highest inflammatory response to eggs and almonds. Prior to that, I regularly fed him eggs and almonds thinking they were healthy. Within 1 month of removing these items from his diet, he was completely cured of this condition that had plagued him since he was a baby. Thank you Nourish!
Dr. Adrienne Stewart is the best Doctor in town. She is very professional, kind hearted, full of compassion and a good listener. She is full of empathy towards her patients' health condition and gives a lot of options and programs that will help her patients feel at ease and comfortable in choosing what is appropriate for them towards the road of recovery. I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease (Hyperthyroidism) with an early Thyroid Eye Disease since June 2019. I was getting hopeless at that time since I don't want my thyroid to be surgically removed and just rely on pure conventional medicine. I believe that my body can heal naturally and return back to its normal state by changing my lifestyle. Dr. Stewart gave me several tests to find the root cause of my thyroid disease. After 6 months of appointments with her, plus changing my lifestyle and strictly following her protocol I was then amazed about the results of my blood tests and now headed in full recovery. I am very grateful to Dr. Adrienne Stewart, to Grant and to the rest of the wonderful staffs in the clinic for helping me return back to my healthy state. Love you all and thank you again for everything you do especially in these times of pandemic. More power and success to Nourish Medical Center!
I recently went to Nourish for a PRP facial with Dr Natiya. Dr Natiya is a naturopathic doctor and one of her specialties is skin care. I have had PRP done elsewhere and hers are the best by far. She uses the very latest equipment and gets the best results. She is also very gentle and there is absolutely no pain or discomfort and minimal downtime. Her prices are quite reasonable compared to others doing this. She has also developed a gorgeous skin care line based on all natural ingredients from Greece. Ive seen her several times and my skin looks amazing. Furthur, she is lovely to work with personally and really takes time to discover what will be best for you. I bought her skin care line when I was there and the products Im using are wonderful. I strongly recommend this experience if you want to do something extraordinary for your skin.
BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I am a tricky case and my body is very sensitive and I have had lots of medical issues over the years. I have come to distrust doctors, as about half the time they don't help at all and can be arrogant, and at times have actually done harm to my body instead of helping me. I even went to the naturopath Dr. Bronner Handwerger in San Diego who put me on hormones that caused damage to my body to the point where I called medical malpractice attorneys to sue him. But I decided to give the naturopathic route another chance. And boy am I glad I did! Dr. Adrienne Stewart has changed my life. I mean literally! She put me on a thyroid medication that has made all the difference. Before I was depressed and hardly able to function. Now I remember what it is like to be happy and healthy! She also is compassionate, very knowledgeable, and seriously is my best advocate I've ever had for my health (other than myself of course!). I also ended up doing life coaching with Crystal at Nourish and was amazing. And the last thing I want to say about Nourish is that I hate having my blood drawn and I'm very nervous about it, and Grant does a great job drawing blood at the Nourish office. I'm so sad I moved away from San Diego because I love all of these guys at Nourish. I might even continue having Dr. Stewart as my doctor and just do Skype sessions which she allows for her patients that are not in the San Diego area. This is my favorite doctor of all time. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Adrienne Stewart and Nourish Medical Center!
Recently I had the pleasure of going in for a PRP facial (vampire facial) with Dr. Natiya Guin.RUN. Don't walk on your way to get an appointment with her. She is maybe the kindest most down to earth doctor I've ever met, and made me feel so comfortable and safe (even amidst the Covid craziness) throughout the whole procedure. It felt more like a day at the spa than a medical procedure with the warm towels and comfy pillows, and the the PRP injections didn't hurt AT ALL. I have also previously purchased her custom, vegan and organic skincare that is safe to use even after a procedure like this, ( amazinggraceskincare.com ) and WOW this stuff will change your life. I have used EVERYTHING under the sun (beauty counter, primal you're etc etc) and this is by far the best. One of the best experiences I can remember in a doctors office to date

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.Kathryn S.
I Cannot say enough good things about Dr. DJ. This past year my gastrointestinal/ skin issues spiraled out of control. I came to Dr. DJ in tears desperate for some relief. It has only been a month and I am already seeing HUGE improvements. Dr. DJ believes in addressing the root of the cause and not just treating symptoms. I cannot wait to see the continued improvement and highly recommend this establishment and Dr. DJ!!
I recommend Nourish. I treat with Dr. Martinez and she is sharp. This is the first and only Naturopath who recommended supplements that did not adversely affect me. The cost of the tests, treatment and fees to see Dr. Martinez are a wise investment. Faith and Mimi are kind and helpful. Mimi is an incredible phlebotomist. I wish I had found Nourish long ago and I'm so thankful for the blessing. Thankful to God and the entire team at Nourish.
We love Nourish Medical. Dr Roumel has been great to work with, helping my son with his allergies and immunity issues. The entire staff is great to work with. I see Dr Jess and she has helped me tremendously. Highly recommend!
I was introduced to Nourish and Dr. Stewart through a colleague. At the time, I was searching for an alternative medicine doc that could assist with my immune disorder and ongoing hormone issues, particularly joint pain and migraines. I had an initial one hour consultation with Dr. Stewart and she exhibited a great deal of thoroughness, consideration and dialogue around approaching my health. Given that I am accustomed to western medicine, she offered lots of materials to read, as well as have access to her online program, which provides even further guidance. As an executive in the field of behavioral health, I am accustomed to dealing with clients and meeting expectations. Dr. Stewart and her team have not disappointed. Their online patient portal is very easy to navigate, her front desk staff is well organized, and the tests that I had taken have offered informative and insightful feedback which has provided a beautiful start to my ongoing journey of healing. I highly recommend Nourish to anyone that desires a personal touch, well trained docs and a place to "nurture" you back to health.
I have had a debilitating health issue for the last 2 years. My Primary Care physician performed tests and sent me to specialists and while they all acknowledged I had a health issue no one had any suggestions that would help me. My final contact with my PC was him telling me to 'get out of my head' and I would be OK. I felt abandoned and helpless, then I found Nourish and Dr. Gelman. In the first consultation she told me there were many things we could try that she felt would help me. I had a blood draw and the results came back showing I had deficiencies in several areas. Dr. Gelman suggested several supplements. Within 6 weeks I have seen an 80% improvement in my health. Dr. Gelman's knowledge and enthusiastic support really helped me. Dr. Gelman offered me HOPE. That was something my Primary Care Physician and specialists could not do. Dr. Gelman has given me back my life.
I highly recommend Dr. Starr Ramson! I have seen many physicians and nobody else was willing to take the time needed to find out what's wrong with me! Not to mention, my symptoms were dismissed and misdiagnosed often, told I was simply depressed and prescribed harmful medications that would have changed me forever. I was suffering everyday until I met Dr. Starr! Today, I have renewed hope for a better life. She identified the root cause of my condition and has successfully treated me for multiple issues. I have never met any doctor who is so knowledgeable & passionate about her career. On top of everything, she is genuinely kind and patient. Thank you Dr. Starr, you are truly amazing!
Dr. Adrienne Stewart is such an amazing doctor! I've gone to so many doctors to try and figure out why I couldn't lose weight, why I was always bloated, low energy, ect. I've been having this problem since I was a teenager. I'm now 35. She first tested me for almost everything possible to make sure that I didn't have anything too serious, which gave me a peace of mind. We recently started focusing on the food that I was eating and problems with my gut. Within the past week, the weight is just falling of of me without barely even trying, and I don't feel bloated or puffy. I now know what foods I'm sensitive to because I took a test for that. I've gone to so many doctors, and Dr. Stewart actually sits down, and cares and listens to everything that you have to say. She figures out what is really going on in your body. Grant the lab tech, and Ashley the receptionist are also both very sweet and helpful! It is a little pricey, but def worth the investment if you care about your body and well being. It's nice to know what is actually going on inside of your body, and not just getting prescribed pills to cover up the problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.
I am so thankful I found Nourish Medical Center. I was on a quest for a good doctor who could help my 12 year old. After failed attempts with our pediatrician and endocrinologist, he had increasing symptoms of hypothyroidism and newer symptoms of IBS that started to effect his (and my) daily life so severely that I was on a frantic mission to find a doctor that could go in-depth with us and QUICKLY. Having a child that just seems to be getting sicker with no clear answers is so frightening. We met with Dr. Stewart and I told her all of my concerns and nothing I said was dismissed or considered unimportant. This was such a relief! Dr. Stewart ordered tests that other doctors never ordered, and I will be eternally grateful that she did. She created a plan to both help his thyroid immediately as well as a plan find the source of the problem. We are currently in the process of figuring out his diagnosis, but ALL of his IBS symptoms have disappeared and the thyroid medication that Dr. Stewart prescribed him has resulted in labs that have greatly improved over a three month period. I could not be more grateful.
I feel so grateful to have found Dr. Martinez at Nourish Medical Center. Having been diagnosed with 2 autoimmune diseases by the age of 28, I knew that future illness was inevitable unless I started to address the root cause. I wasn't getting the support I needed from my endocrinologist, so when I came across Dr. Martinez's website and saw her extensive knowledge in thyroid health and hormone balancing, I was eager to meet.Our first appointment was 5 months ago and I am so happy with the health journey Dr. Martinez is helping me navigate. Thus far, I have lost weight, completely changed my mindset around what constitutes a healthy diet, lowered my thyroid antibodies and regulated some really crucial hormone levels. Dr. Martinez is thorough, understanding, incredibly smart and thoughtful in her approach. She genuinely wants me to succeed and isn't afraid to alter our plan or make modifications if something isn't agreeing with my body. Most importantly, I feel comfortable telling her about the smallest symptom without judgement or dismissal, which is so important to me.I am so happy to have made the investment in my health and I never hesitate to pass along Dr. Martinez's information. I know she can help a lot of people with living their healthiest lives.
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!

I am so glad I came to Nourish Medical Center! I came in looking for to get pregnant and for a solution to unrelenting allergies, for which mainstream medicine has given me no explanation, despite 2 costly allergy tests. At Nourish, Dr. Stewart suggested a food sensitivity test, which ended up showing a few sensitivities. After only a week of removing these foods from my diet, my allergies went away completely. It has now been 3 months, and it is so great to be able to breathe again. I wish I had done food sensitivity testing years ago. While I am not yet pregnant, Dr. Stewart's warm style has made me feel very safe sharing intimate details of my life and health, which is helping to get to the root of the issue, and I am optimistic for the future.
I can’t say enough good things about Nourish Medical Center. Staff is lovely and the space is clean and inviting. I see Dr Stewart and she has helped me immensely on my healing journey. Helping me unfold my health and find answers that I couldn’t get answers to with PCP’s. I am so happy I found her to be a part of my health journey. I always look forward to our appts, not only has she helped me find peace in my health l but I am not afraid to ask questions! Our discussions in regards to my health leave me understanding what’s going on with my body, rather than questioning and trying to fight for my health like I’ve had to do with so many other Drs. I feel blessed to have her on my team of health practitioners. Heart to heart moment: if you’ve been questioning and looking for answers, honestly make the jump and put your health first. You won’t regret it and you won’t regret choosing Nourish Medical Center to be at your side for it.
Dr. Stewart is who I chose to see after reading specialties of everyone. I started seeing her a while back but waited on a review so I could give one that's more in depth. And it's really this simple, she's the best! In all the ways.. 1-Knowing what labs you need 2-Compassion to your situation 3-Getting the right supplement/treatment to you. And she, though not a counselor, helped me more than my counselor did during this time of my sad life situations. Which is totally unexpected when seeing someone for health care not emotional care. If I could give more than 5 stars to her I would! I also know someone who has gone to Dr. Star and had a great experience. I have to shout out to Ashley the front office manager, she is always so on it, and ready to help the staff and is always a happy smiling face to see and connect with. 5+ for the centerI also have been seeing Crystal Stone for coaching and left a review on her yelp about her magical ways!Thank you Nourish!
Crystal, has been one of the best decisions I have taken. Her sessions are super positive, enthusiastic, and game-changing. I can't believe how far I have come. My brother asked me the other day what have I been reading!? I have noticed such an amazing and positive change. With her by my side I am so confident and full of inner peace. I could not recommend her enough!! Thank you thank you.Dr. Stewart is also amazing and game changing. I love her natural approach to everything. Nourish is the BEST.
Nourish has changed my life! Dr. Adrienne Stewart is not only super sweet, she is incredibly knowledgeable. She has helped me navigate through my thyroid trials and tribulations, finding that perfect dose...she is working on my stubborn gut issues and detoxification. I feel at home there..the staff is very welcoming, kind and organized...I am able to send messages and receive information quickly. The place is immaculate and stunning....they are simply on top of it, and I appreciate having an entire staff that I can trust with my healthcare needs. I would HIGHLY recommend nourish medical center!!!!
I have so much on my mind right now that I would like to share about my experience that it seems hard to know where to start or how to put into words a feeling you get from working with this group. I was an emergency patient by all accounts being incredibly dehydrated, arriving on a Saturday and getting immediate attention though they do not typically do IVs on Saturdays. Doctor DJ was on staff and she could not have been cuter, sweeter, or more professional! She truly cared about me like I felt a family member would, I was literally in the throws on vomiting as she was getting my IV in and I did not feel a thing. Doctor DJ was tender and very informative. She researched with us while I was receiving fluids to helps us trouble shoot the issues we had been experiencing at home. She gave us amazing advice, amazing care and felt like a good friend by the time we were heading out. I truly appreciate this clean, beautiful facility and hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you for all you do!
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.
