I have had wonderful experiences with the entire staff at Sacred Healing Arts. We used their midwifery services when my daughter was born five years ago. This review is specific to one of their doctors, Dr. Kathryn Taketa-Wong.We began using Dr. Kathryn Taketa-Wong as my daughter’s primary doctor following her birth. As is common with growing toddlers, they get sick from time to time. To say that Dr. Taketa-Wong is attentive during these times, is an understatement. She not only treated my daughter’s sickness, but she was available the whole time to “coach us through it” too. As concerned parents, this service was invaluable to put us at ease and equip us to give our daughter the best care as she healed.A few years back, I myself began to have some concerning health issues. I attended my regular physician at Kaiser for several years trying to resolve my health problems. Needless to say, my health never improved under their treatment and my overall outlook diminished.Reflecting on the excellent service, we had received at Sacred Healing Arts, I decided to reach out for some health advice and assistance. From my first meeting with Dr. Taketa-Wong I knew I was dealing with someone special. My favorite thing: SHE LISTENS! I know this may seem simple, but anyone who has been through the traditional medical system before, knows exactly what I mean. It seems that all of my “traditional” doctors never took the time to LISTEN. I would go in and explain all of my symptoms and the things that I had tried so far. Those doctors would just look at me blankly while I talked and, in the end, they would start me over at the beginning and suggest I try things I had tried a million times.This is not the case with Dr. Taketa-Wong! She listened and understood what I was communicating regarding my symptoms. She listened and understood what the treatments I had tried in the past. At that point, she said the following, “I understand where you are. I want you to know, that I want to work with you as a team to achieve your optimal health outcomes.”Right after that she had me do a barrage of tests to see what was going on at the “base” level. It was clear, that she was only vaguely interested in treating the symptoms of my sickness. She wanted to know what was the root cause, too. In the end, she figured out what was causing my years of nausea and stomach cramps. Ironically, it was something that the Kaiser doctors had never even heard of…I’m serious. Through her care and supplementation recommendations, I am nausea free…after over 10 years. She healed me of the stomach issue in a matter of weeks!As I told her the last time I was in her office, “Dr. Taketa-Wong…you give all other doctors a bad name!” I don’t say that hyperbolically. She is a caring individual who will work with you to achieve your perceived optimal health state.I can recommend her and her team, without reservation, for anyone looking to be healed by a caring professional. Trust me…after the first visit, you will be spoiled!!

Dr Kathryn Taketa Wong is by far the most engaged and knowledgeable doctor I have worked with in treating my daughter’s autism. All of the pediatricians we have had treat autism as a disorder that can only be managed with ABA and medication and never look for the cause of the symptoms.Dr. Taketa Wong treats the underlying causes in testing and treating for nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, and other imbalances or infections that may be causing the symptoms associated with autism. We have seen tremendous progress with our daughter in the 5 years that we have worked with her. She is patient and takes the time needed to be thorough and has flexible payment and treatment plans to work with patients at their need and financial ability. I recommend her to everyone I know looking for a doctor especially children with special needs.

My son has been under Dr. Taketa-Wongs care for over 2 years and he has greatly improved during this time. She understands her patients needs and is always available for questions.

Dr. Taketa-Wong’s holistic approach to care which includes acupuncture has really helped to improve my energy level and overall sense of well-being. She is very caring and a great communicator and takes the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions.

Dr. Taketa-Wong has been taking care of many of my clients children with their primary care health. She is one of the best doctors and most experienced practitioners with the management of autism and ADHD. She is warm and compassionate and a great communicator. Ive only received praise from our mutual clients which is why I can wholeheartedly endorse her.

Dr. Kathryn Taketa-Wong is the BEST naturopathic doctor. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, cares deeply about the well being of her patients and goes above and beyond in helping them. I firmly believe that Dr. Taketa-Wong has not only the necessary education and training but, just as importantly, the personal qualities of deep compassion, kindness, and understanding of her patients varied medical conditions.She has helped me resolve my extremely painful polymyalgia rheumatica and my heart arrhythmia. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Taketa-Wong is an outstanding physician and tenacious, patient and caring healer. In 2019, I experienced a sudden onset of unusual, systemic symptoms that had me bouncing from a disinterested GP to specialist to specialist, each of whom ran specific tests and told me there was nothing wrong. They prescribed a variety of anti-depressants and opioids for non-existent pain. They had little time or ability within their institutions to dig deeper. Dr. Taketa-Wong took a comprehensive approach with testing, my health history and other influences on my condition. Through her experience and thoroughness, she quickly identified pathogens that the specialists had missed and dismissed. The other doctors are good in their specialties, but Dr. Taketa-Wong is the one who listened to me, took a comprehensive look, understood my symptoms, followed her clinical experience to an accurate and actionable diagnosis, and set me on a healing path without anti-depressants or opioids. She is a kind and wonderful human being. As a doctor she is caring, empathetic and highly skilled. As a care giver, she is responsive, accessible and reassuring. Im fortunate to be in her care.
