I love this practice My husband and son also see doctors here. They are friendly, and they spend time really listening to you.
I also adore the Wild Collective program for women. It is a 10 month commitment with a new topic each month. The material is insightful especially the earlier months about detoxing and hormone regulation. But more important to me…it is a place to meet with the same group of women each month to witness one another’s experiments and experiences with the theme from the month before. You get to know one another and get to be accepted into a nonjudgmental, accepting space. And, the guides are so warm and welcoming. Women in community is magic!

Dr. Testa has been great during all my visits. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health including cardiovascular disease/prevention and was able to review my blood work results. After reviewing my results he was able to help provide me recommendations on healthy life style and what to watch for go forward. The biggest difference between Brandon and my family doctor was he spent the full hour talking with me, wanting to understand my full health picture and then provided me a full written summary of our session. Looking forward to our next appointment.

Dr. Karlee Tario is absolutely awesome.
Admittedly, I was a skeptic of anything "naturopath" until I was disappointed by the healthcare system over and over again. Family doctors don't listen, and it seems that the general health system is dedicated to a band-aid approach to medicine. Reactive rather than proactive, and dismissive of symptoms because they don't fit into a box.
I was grasping at straws when I booked an appointment with Dr. Tario. What could she really do that a family doctor couldn't?
Man, was I so incredibly wrong.
First and foremost, she listened. She took notes. She didn't brush anything under the rug. She didn't promise the answer or solution right away, and provided testing so we could start on a path to improving my health from the ground up.
Second, and I understand this won't always happen because everyone's circumstances are different, but she absolutely nailed it right away.
Before this, every doctor dismissed my issues. I did all the blood tests, stool, urine, allergy, etc. They prescribed me with expensive pills on pills and shots and pills. I'm 36 and had been healthy up until 35. I shouldn't be taking 7 pills a day.
It took one year and everything just got worse and worse.
It took ONE HOUR with Dr. Karlee Tario and she humbly nailed exactly what my problem was right away.
It has been 7 days since my positive test of SIBO, and starting her protocol, and I already feel 10x better. I haven't even got through the protocol yet, but I just know I am healing. I can feel it.
My energy levels are higher, my SKIN IS FINALLY IMPROVING. My acid reflux hasn't been present, and I can breathe again. It felt like I was being strangled all day with something in my throat.
I might be jumping the gun, but it's not really just about curing my issues. It's more about the approach that I appreciated the most. Like I had a teammate on my side who was going to listen. My health anxiety is dissipating and I just wanted to write this review for anyone who might be hesitant about going to a naturopath because of the stigma.
The 1 hour and 15 minutes of medical care I received from this clinic so far has been the better than ANY care I have received over the last 10 years from multiple family doctors.
I can't say enough about Dr. Karlee Tario. Thank you.

Doc was very knowledgeable and personable. For many years, I have researched different diets and solutions to my condition. She was able to provide insight on every potential solution and had many more ideas I'd never heard of. Most importantly, she took an individual approach to my situation stating that every body and lifestyle is different and as such requires different solutions. Where as traditional medicine just say "everyone with this condition take this pill. " I wish I'd gone to grass roots sooner
