What patients are saying about Dr. Melanie Whittaker

“Dr. Whittaker cares about her patients... She’s the best...”

    "Naturopathic medicine saved my life! After years of treating my fibromyalgia, chronic pain, an ulcer, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, hormone issues, and insomnia with traditional doctors and prescriptions with no significant on-going relief, I turned to Naturopathic medicine.
    Dr. Whittaker accurately diagnosed my health issues, and with her expertise and appropriate supplements, I no longer have most of these symptoms and I am quite healthy and able to lead a very full and active life. If new health issues occur, Dr. Whittaker addresses them, and because of my past experiences under her care, I know that I will get better.
    Dr. Whittaker cares about her patients, refers them when appropriate, and gives them hope that they will have improved health. She's the best, and I highly recommend her."

“My life has truly turned around... I feel alive again...”

    “The whole sequence of events has been a miracle!  Suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity, I found myself feeling unhealthy most of the time. I was on antibiotics for about a year, high doses of blood pressure medications morning and night, and then my doctor added more. I had no energy and just wanted to sleep and not face the day!
    In December I decided to try an ND and began seeing Dr. Whittaker. She helped me determine which foods I was sensitive to, and after just a couple of days of eliminating these, I began to feel better. In time, I was able to stop taking the drugs that were not healthy and replace them with healthier options – supplements. Much to my surprise I also experienced fewer asthma attacks. People began to ask me what I was doing, as one of the side effects of this change was weight loss.
    I actually eat more now than before — lots of fruit, vegetables and protein! I feel totally ‘liberated’ and my energy is back! Even though the weight loss was not the focus, I dropped 73 lbs. in less than a year! It feels so good to lose the weight. I am eating things I used to not like, but now I find them tasty. Real food even smells better!
    My life has truly turned around. I am doing things I have never done before, because I feel SO good! I feel alive again and my sense of humor is back! The protocols that Dr. Whittaker put me on have truly made a difference. We are now working on decreasing those. I have noticed my digestion is not good if I have missed taking supplements, so I continue to use the ones I still need. I guess you could call it a maintenance plan for now.
    Thank you Dr. Whittaker, for working with me and providing solutions beyond prescriptions.”

“I lost 20 lbs. very quickly...
Now, I know how to lose weight when I need to...”

“The HCG diet has changed my food habits and cravings for good! I lost 20 lbs. very quickly and have continued to lose weight. Before, when I exercised, I still could not lose. Now, I know how to lose weight when I need to, and I no longer crave fast food or junk food. I still enjoy pizza, though no longer need to eat so much of it or often. I keep only healthy foods at home and enjoy the taste of real food - lots of fruit, vegetables and protein!”
