I reached out to Maura after a very scary hospitalization with sepsis. My gut was destroyed and my skin was covered in acne and weird rashes after I ate foods that my body once could handle. Not being able to eat everything I wanted any longer was devastating.I’m happy to say that after working with Maura I now can eat like I did prior to my sepsis poisoning (can tolerate gluten, dairy, alcohol!) My body is now absorbing nutrients and I’m at a healthy weight again.My skin and rashes did a complete 180 and my skin is back to being clear!πŸ™πŸ»I would recommend Maura to anyone wanting to get to the root of their health issues in a healthy and holistic way.Much love,Heather

I started seeing Dr. Maura last May as I was having on going stomach/ gut issues for most of my adult life. After working with her and closely following her plan for 5-6 months, I can officially say my stomach issues have subsided. I had seen multiple gastroenterologists in the past and had tried many elimination diets but I love food and cooking and this was not the route for me. Dr Maura worked to identify the foods causing my issues and we came up with a plan so that I would ultimately be able to reintroduce those trigger foods over time. The plan worked and now I have reintroduced all foods back into my diet! Highly recommend working with her :) She is super knowledgeable and understanding.

Dr. Maura is a godsend. I started using her in the middle of the pandemic, so weve only had tele-visits. I have Crohn’s, which was acting up, and my prior naturopath was no longer able to help me successfully. I found Dr. Maura by researching naturopaths online and I found only good things about her. She’s very patient and genuinely cares about her patients. She always takes the time to listen and then explain things so they are easily understood. More important, she helped me tremendously. As we went along, she would constantly adjust my diet or supplements, depending on how I reacted to the treatment. Now, I feel so much better and have probably gone into remission, all thanks to her. Also, her staff is wonderful. They are so attentive and get back to you immediately when needed. I would highly recommend Dr. Maura to anyone seeking a kind, compassionate, and brilliant naturopath. I just can’t say enough good things about her.

Its so worth it to finally have a doctor who LISTENS!I started working with Dr. Maura about 8 months ago. Prior to that, I was dealing with perioral dermatitis (PD) that I had for over two years, but I had trouble finding any sort of long-term solution. I saw multiple dermatologists for my PD, but couldnt seem to find any fix (especially one that wouldnt just obliterate my system with antibiotics). I finally reached out to Dr. Maura to get help. I was cautious because I knew that it wouldnt be covered under my insurance...but it was so worth it to finally have a doctor just listen to me. Dr. Maura listened to everything that I was dealing with, from dermatologic to digestive issues, and diagnosed me with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). From there, she was able to prescribe a treatment plan, including diet, vitamins, prescriptions & lifestyle changes that actually had an effect. To anyone else who is at the end of their rope and feels like other doctors just dont really care...I would recommend seeing Dr. Maura!

I typically dont write reviews, but felt compelled to share my experience with Dr. Molly DeMers and The Dr. Maura Practice because it has so profoundly improved my life. Ive seen doctors, both conventional and holistic, who havent been able to help me. Thats when I turned to naturopathic medicine and because of Dr. Mauras reputation, decided to see one of her doctors. Dr. DeMers put together all of the seemingly disconnected pieces of my health puzzle after thoroughly getting to know my history and doing some really interesting testing. She is brilliantβ€”she found answers where I had none before. My treatment plans make sense, cover everything and are easy to follow. Just a few months into my work with her and my skin has cleared, my period has normalized, my digestion has improved. Im with this practice for life and couldnt recommend Dr. DeMers more highly. If youre on the fence, go for it, itll be the best health decision youve ever made.

I came to Dr Maura with a gut health issue. I found her online so was uneasy at first since I typically find health/medical providers through referrals but her competence and demeanor quickly put me at ease. She expertly identified potential issues and ordered a series of tests that I was able to complete from home to hone in on the cause of my discomfort. After the results, she put me on a supplements and restrictive diet plan for several meals that improved the issue. In a follow up appointment after seeing the improvement we did an additional round of supplements that took me to a close to or cured state. Im very pleased with the experience. Shelli in her office also gets 5 stars for all of her support in scheduling and coordinating tests. Thanks Dr Maura!

Ive worked with Dr. Maura for more than a half a year now. I originally came to Dr. Maura for gut issues, and she has helped tremendously in addressing both GI and reproductive health issues.From our very first appt, I could tell that Dr. Maura is not only incredibly knowledgable and thorough, but a kind, thoughtful, and empathetic individual. She takes her time with you and truly listens to your symptoms. Dr. Maura recommends the right tests and teaches you to listen to your body, helping you address the root cause of your health issues.I now feel much better about my gut (she helped clear up a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in less than 2 mo), and PCOS symptoms have been addressed as well.I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Maura! If you feel in any way that your health or well-being could be improved, I recommend you see Dr. Maura -- you will not be disappointed! Thank you, Dr. Maura for all that youve done and continue to do!

Words cannot express the gratitude and respect we have for Dr. Mauras work. My teenage daughter was diagnosed with SIBO and IBS 2.5 years ago. My daughter spent up to 5 hours a day in the bathroom and was in constant discomfort. We went to several GI and Endocrinologists. After years of testing and medications that did not work we were told nothing more can be done. Dr Maura immediately understood my daughters condition and provided a path to recovery. Within months we started to see results. My daughter is a year into working with Dr Maura and is almost back to her pre SIBO/IBS days. We highly recommend Dr Maura!

Dr. Maura is amazing. She listened to my concerns, ordered the correct tests and created a plan for me. She has helped me with GI issues, diagnosed SIBO, ordered food sensitivity testing and hormone tests. 20 years of GI issues and extreme period pain + suffering and going to PCPs and OBGYNs without a resolution and Dr. Maura got me feeling normal again after just a few short months. She heals the root cause of the problem with a plan and supplements. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I wish I was able to see her earlier but grateful I found her.

Dr. Maura has such a stellar reputation and while I was really eager to see her, I opted to see her associate Dr. Galina, whom I had also heard good things about. Im so glad I did. Dr. Galina is truly a gifted physician. She completely resolved my PCOS and digestive issues when no other doctor I had seen (and Ive seen many) was able to even understand what was happening. She listened carefully and never rushed through visits. She ran the right tests that got to the root cause of my problems and came up with treatment protocols that were totally natural, easy to follow and most importantly effective. Shes warm and so smart. I appreciated the attentive support she gave me between visits. Ive already referred a number of family and friends to see her. She gets my highest recommendation.

I have worked with Dr Maura on and off for about ten years now. She is always very kind and very comforting and makes you feel better just by speaking with you. She is very thorough and takes the time to understand the whole picture, not just select symptoms. I really appreciate the alternatives she provides when youre looking for a solution to the problem, not just a way to put a bandaid on the symptoms. If youre searching for alternative solutions, or just cant put your finger on whats wrong, Dr Mauras your answer!

Working with Dr. Maura has been a great experience! For many years I struggled with gut issues, chronic fatigue, and migraines. Within just a short time she was able to identify the underlying cause of my gut issues and laid out a protocol for me to follow. She took the time to listen and get to the root of my problems. I was able to heal from SIBO and leaky gut. My energy levels have increased dramatically and I don’t suffer migraines like I used to. Working with Dr. Maura has truly been a life changing experience. She is the person to go to if you need help on your healing journey.

I have been working with Dr. Maura for a few years. She has been able to diagnose, address, and treat me from a holistic viewpoint while taking into account the specifics of the areas of my body needing treatment. In a matter of months under Dr. Mauras guidance, fibromyalgia and its debilitating symptoms have been eradicated. Over the years I have continued to look to Dr. Maura for my general health care, more like a PCP. I am healthier than I have ever been. I eat well, I sleep well, I have energy and focus not fatigue and pain. Her knowledge is only surpassed by her kindness. Truly a life saver.

Dr Maura has been extremely helpful for me. Ive been working with her for about a year on chronic gut/digestion issues, and Ive improved so much in that time. I appreciate that she did not push a long-term restrictive diet, as many other practitioners have done for me without attempting to treat the base issue. I was on a low-FODMAP diet as part of my treatment, but now Im back to eating almost everything other than a few trigger foods. I would definitely recommend her if you are dealing with chronic health issues that other practitioners have not taken the time to address with depth and care.

Dr. Maura is a lifesaver! I had some form of perioral dermatitis around my mouth for 2+ years. Dr. Maura helped me get to the root cause of my skin issues and helped me heal. My skin is already dramatically better within 6 weeks of being on her protocol. I can’t wait to see how much further I heal while under Dr. Maura’s care.

Review β„–16

After several years of chronic gut issues while at the same time getting no satisfaction from traditional medicine (all telling me I am as healthy as a horse), I eventually connected with Dr. Maura earlier this year and I have been working with her since.She quickly identified and the confirmed through lab work that I had both dysbiosis and SIBO and has since guided me on a treatment plan (temporary diet restrictions and herbal supplements) that has improved these significantly. We also reviewed adrenal / stress symptoms I was experiencing, along with sleep issues - and she recommended herbal remedies that helped with both.I now have a n invaluable resource to turn to in the future should any reoccurrence happen and I definitely recommend Dr. Maura if you are dealing with chronic issues that your regular doctor(s) are not managing to diagnose - am sure she can help shine a light on what the root cause (and treatment) may be.

My mom has been a long-time patient of Dr. Maura and has benefitted hugely from working with her around gut and now hormonal issues. I decided to book an appointment with Dr. Mauras associate Dr. Galina and its been an equally great experience. My mom and I compared our experiences and theyre the same. Both doctors are extremely experienced and skilled naturopaths and functional medicine doctors. Warm, great listeners and super smart. They use the best of all the approaches. We had tried some of the bigger functional medicine practices before Dr. Mauras practice and they do not compare to the highly personalized approach you get with Dr. Maura. Plus her staff is extremely warm, helpful and really available, we love Shelli. I wanted to put up a review for those people who are considering seeing Dr. Galina. We love both doctors and cant recommend this practice highly enough.

I had been having symptoms of bloating, a pushing feeling in my stomach, tiredness, brain fog, severe allergies and general malaise for a few years. I saw many doctors and none has answers for me and dismissed my symptoms after some β€œroutine blood work” as age (I’m 39) and stress.In researching gut health and brain fog, I came across Dr. Maura and I am so thankful I did!!! I didn’t know what to expect since I had never seen a ND before.When i met with her I felt like someone was finally listening to me and taking my symptoms seriously! She did a very comprehensive workout involving blood work and at home kits. When my results were in, she sat down with me and thoroughly went over a plan to get my gut on track as well as my thyroid since the tests she performed revealed thyroid antibodies. The plan involved diet changes as well as supplements.Within a month my brain fog was almost gone, my stomach no longer had that pushing bloated feeling and my energy level had increased! If i was feeling 3/10 when I originally went to Dr Maura, I was now feeling 8/10!If you have been searching for answers and coming up empty and if you have been searching for a doctor who will listen and understand, look no further! Dr. Maura has helped me immensely and I am forever grateful I went the ND route!

I was struggling with constant bloating and digestive issues and found Dr. Maura N.D. through an internet search for naturopathic doctors. I did not want to go the conventional route and just be put on medication for a quick band aid. I knew I wanted to treat these issues more holistically.I am so thankful that I found her! Dr. Maura is extremely personable, professional and knowledgable. She was able to help me diagnose my digestive issues and put me on a plan with natural supplements and enzymes that have allowed me to finally feel better. I am thankful for her knowledge and support and will continue to work with her to keep myself feeling my best!

Dr. Maura is great.I was fed up with the conventional mode of health care and wanted a doctor who really took the time to help me get to the underlying cause to some of the symptoms I was having.Dr. Maura sat and spoke with me for an hour, which was followed up with doing a comprehensive blood panel and acid test. She also gave several resources (books, articles and fellow colleagues recommendations) to further help me.After getting the results, we had another hour long conversation about all the different recommendations to heal (supplements and different therapies)I’ve been following the protocol and I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in years!

I had a great experience with Dr. Maura! I had problems with eczema for more than 6 months and I tried all kind of creams, moisturizers and steroids and nothing really worked. Then I made an appointment with Dr. Maura, who helped me find out what was triggering my eczema, and helped me find a more permanent solution. I saw first results after 2 weeks already. Its been 3-4 months now and my eczema is almost completely gone! Thank you Dr. Maura!

After reading all of the great reviews about Dr. Maura, I decided to give it a go. After seeing GIs and learning that I have SIBO, I was constantly trying to figure out how to battle it without completely changing my diet.Dr. Maura listened to my FULL story, asking appropriate questions along the way. She then ordered two different (at-home) tests. After seeing that my SIBO was still just as high as it was after seeing 2 GIs, she came up with my comprehensive supplement regimen. After using it for 8+ weeks, coupled with mild exercise, daily walks, I started noticing a difference!Now, I am out about 6 months and feel better than I have in 6 years!!I no longer have the constant bloat and pains that come along with SIBO.Long story short, I am so appreciative of Dr. Maura listening and truly wanting the help me beat this thing. Highly recommend her!!

Dr. Maura truly helped me a lot during the transition of quiting birth control pills (post birth control syndrome) and thankfully I had no undesired side effects of quiting birth control pill such as painful periods, or acne which was the case for me when I tried to quit birth control pill by myself before.She really knows the importance of hormonal harmony! She carefully checked my blood test results each time I visited her and she provided just enough guidance and supplements/herbal medicine to support and keep my balance.I truly appreciate her help and recommend her specifically who has concerns about quiting the birth control pill/ or post birth control syndrome.

I’ve had a great experience working with Dr Maura. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and personable. I went to her because I was having stomach issues and she accurately found the issue, made minimal changes to my diet in the most non-invasive way possible, and suggested vitamins to take. After 8+ months of seeing her I am 90% fully healed. I am delighted to be able to eat foods I couldn’t have before, this time with no side averse effects. I highly recommend her!

Working with Dr. Maura has been a delight in so many ways. As a 30 year old woman who has been dealing with thyroid,hormonal and digestive issues for over 10 years...I finally found a doctor I trust who can safely guide me in the right direction. Dr Maura asks questions about my well being and had me take a few hormone /mineral tests which helped to create an easy and doable treatment program. I am about two months into my regimen and for the first time in IDK how long, I have ovulated. My mood and energy has shifted to a place of more peace and calm and I am going to the bathroom daily! Im thankful for people like her who actually care and view the body as a complete system. We dont realize how much vitality we are supposed to be feeling until we start healing and taking care of ourselves.

Dr. Maura is a great alternative for someone who has SIBO. Many traditional GI doctors havent done the research necessary to tackle a methane-based issue. I have had to do a lot of research myself on the latest science and the newest treatments. While Ive had to suggest to my GI doctor treatments I had read about online, Dr. Maura was already on top of all the latest science and it just seemed as if we were already speaking the same language, having followed the same research. Unfortunately when youre struggling with this, you have to do a lot of legwork yourself because regular GI doctors dont seem to know has much as naturopaths. Its really nice to have a doctor that is so well versed in SIBO and GI studies and treatments. I would absolutely recommend her services. She even thinks about things more holistically, such as anti-microbial options and physical therapy. Finally, there are a lot of great alternatives to the synthetic medications she can offer.Shes absolutely knows what shes talking about and I hope to continue my journey to a 100% recovery.

Ive been working with Dr. Maura for the last year. I went to her initially to learn more about my body during aging, and to prevent chronic diseases. Dr. Maura was able to take my 23andMe genetic profile combine with blood analysis to examine potential inflammation markers. She told me which foods were good for my digestive system, and which I should avoid. If you are interested in integrative, preventive medicine, she is an INCREDIBLE doctor. I highly recommend her without reservation. You will not be disappointed.

I decided to consult a naturopathic doctor after struggling with a hormonal imbalance for years. I had already seen other conventional doctors who always pushed several medications which I knew would never solve the actual source of the problem within my body. While I had changed my diet and made several lifestyle changes on my own already, I still struggled with keeping my labs and bloodwork results in check. I began searching for naturopathic doctors in my area and came across Dr. Mauras website. After reading such great reviews, I decided to seek her guidance and I am SO glad I did!!Not only does Dr. Maura take the time to truly learn about your health ailments, lifestyle, habits, concerns, etc., she comes up with an individual plan tailored just for YOU. I was initially nervous on how effective our telephone calls would be in the middle of a pandemic, but from the first phone call, Dr. Maura made me feel comfortable as if I was sitting face to face right in her office. We set up a plan for me to follow for about 3 months and at our 3 month check-in we redid my blood work. I was completely shocked to see all of my results came back normal without any trace of hormonal issues AT ALL.Within 3 short months, Dr. Maura was able to fix an issue that I had been dealing with for YEARS. I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for her expertise and true dedication to helping her clients better their overall health. I would without a doubt recommend her to anybody interested in consulting a naturopathic doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to talk to! Also huge thanks to Shelli for being such a great help as well!

I struggled with cystic acne for 3 years, spending endless hours at the dermatologist trying everything from chemical peels to 3-month doses of antibiotics. When nothing helped, I decided to take a chance on Dr. Maura. After 3 months of supplementation and dietary changes, my skin was back to beautiful. The changes weren’t easy but they we’re effective.

I have struggled with acne for my entire life and tried dermatologist after dermatologist without much improvement. Dr. Mauras Naturopathic method has changed my life by helping me to evaluate the parts of my diet that upset my skin and worked to find a plan that I was able to incorporate into my busy schedule. She was very patient in answering my questions and creating a viable action plan during my appointment, coordinating supplement orders after the fact, and was easily accessible between appointments through her patient portal. After four months, my skin is better than I have ever seen it, and I can thank Dr. Maura for that!

Let me add to the chorus of praise of Dr. Maura. After 3 years of sudden, chronic and intensely painful constipation that ended up giving me a fissure, that getting infected and ultimately needing surgery, Dr. Maura completely turned my GI track around. Id seen a few GI specialists before her and they were only interested in medicating the symptoms. I even asked twice shouldnt we be trying to figure out why a healthy person whos completely regular all of sudden stops pooping? and the answer was lets just get things moving with the laxatives and then well figure all that out.Dr. Maura on the first visit implemented some really informative tests that frankly I cant believe GI doctors dont do on the first visit. Within the first week on a temporary diet she gave me, I was back to being completely regular. IN ONE WEEK! After three years of constipation! Well have a more specific plan of attack once the results of my tests are back, but Im already impressed. No need for laxatives or probiotics in weeks.I will absolutely be making an appointment with Dr. Maura a must for my annual healthcare.

I was a patient for a little over a year. I was treated for ongoing stomach issues. Dr Maura provided me with a treatment plan but was not clear on how I could expect to respond to the treatment or when might be a good time to alert her with issues. I felt she blamed for me not coming back sooner to see her yet I had emailed her several times asking if how I was feeling was normal. In the end, I stopped seeing Dr Maura when she told me follow the diet or dont, i dont care in response to my concerns around when I might be able to include more food in my current diet. I am currently seeing a different doctor who is more kind and more communicative.

Dr Maura is an excellent naturopathic doctor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and cautious when it comes to the care of her patients. It took us so long to find someone who is as open minded about a more holistic approach to medicine as we are. One of the things we value most in anyone working in healthcare is the time they give to each patient. We never feel rushed out of her office which I find to be rare in NYC.I trust her completely with the health of our children and we would recommend her highly to anyone.

I sought out Dr. Maura after having extreme stomach pain for six months. The first consultation I had she asked me many questions to get to know me and my issues. She was very knowledgeable and knew almost immediately that it was a gastrointestinal (GI) issue. She promptly gave me a couple lab tests to complete at home so we could figure out exactly what was creating the GI issues. The next appointment we discussed the lab results, she put me on a diet, and gave me supplements. I started seeing results and feeling a lot better not even a week later. Since Ive been seeing Dr. Maura my GI has gotten so much better and now I know more about what caused my stomach pains to begin with. She changed my life for the better and I couldnt have been happier in her care!

I have been seeing Dr. Maura for digestive issues for the past several months and am located out of state, outside of the NYC region. If you are suffering with IBS/SIBO I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Maura. I had been suffering with IBS/SIBO for approximately 18 months before seeing Dr. Maura. I had gone through all the standard protocol for digestive issues through my PCP and then I had seen several gastroenterologists across 3 major hospital networks. I had all the digestive tests you could imagine and spent thousands of dollars even with healthcare coverage (maxing out my out of pocket max). After 2 gastroenterologists at an Ivy League hospital network told me β€œI just have IBS and have to live with the symptoms” I was not willing to accept this and felt I exhausted my options in the traditional medicine world.I was skeptical of naturopathic/holistic medicine because of hearsay and that the services were not covered by my insurance company. I can tell you that the money I have spent with Dr. Maura has been well worth my physical and mental well being. The testing is expensive but I can tell it has helped Dr. Maura create a treatment plan. She ordered very targeted tests through one of the labs she works with and pinpointed the issues with my gut flora. I have been on a treatment program of natural supplements for over 60 days with her and have had amazing results that I was not able to achieve through the traditional healthcare system for IBS/SIBO. Do not be discouraged as chronic gut issues seem to be extremely difficult to diagnose and treat properly. I highly recommend Dr. Maura if, like myself, you have not received the answers you are looking for through the traditional medicine system.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Maura! My backstory is that I have Hashimotos hypothyroidism. For 3-4 years I felt an overall sluggishness, with symptoms including brain fog, social anxiety that I never had before, and lack of motivation (all of which felt very out of the norm for me) even though my blood work was showing great numbers for thyroid function. After 2 years of getting my thyroid dosage and blood test results in a great place, I still felt pretty meh and was experiencing this intense bloating (not kidding it looked like I was pregnant by end of each day) that nothing could get rid of. So I knew that it had to be something else, not just thyroid medication/dosage-related. I suspected, based on reading about its symptoms, that SIBO could be involved.Sure enough Dr. Maura tested me for it and we discovered methane-dominant SIBO, and we started what would be a 4-month supplement and dietary protocol. It is not an easy diet (you’ll probably need to remove gluten and dairy at minimum), and you will probably feel socially isolated at some points, but consider that it’s such a short time frame to turn your life and health around! Now about a month off of the diet and supplements and having transitioned every food I love back in (not avoiding gluten/dairy or anything anymore), I feel like I process everything very well - even whole milk dairy, which gave me awful symptoms before!Anyway, definitely see Dr. Maura if this sounded anything like what you’re going through - she was an immensely helpful guide through it all and a great listener! You can keep connected with her on an online portal as well, making her accessible and there for you even between appointments. It will not be through insurance so it’s not cheap, but I always think your health is the best investment :) Thank you Dr. Maura for a wonderful experience! I’ve already recommended you to several of my friends and intend to do so to anyone else who is suffering through these frustrating symptoms.

Dr. Muara has been such a blessing in our lives!! I feel like she literally saved my daughters life. I went to her when I was desperate and in tears. My 2 year old daughter wasnt my happy little girl anyone... she cried all the time, wasnt talking as much as she should have been, her focus was all over the place... the list goes on. I remember Dr Muara being so calm in our first session. Today my 4 year old is healthy and thriving!!! She uncovered gut issues that a general doctor would have never caught. I also started working with her for my own health. Shes smart, calm and meets you where you are.. but gives you a little push when needed to lead you in the direction of your best health! Thanks Dr Muara!!

Ive been a patient of Dr. Mauras for a while, and I must say that I am very pleased with the care she has given me. After she diagnosed me with SIBO, I was given a course of naturopathic treatments which significantly calmed it down. And before taking a trip to India last year, Dr. Maura gave a regimen of pro-biotics to take in preparation for the trip, and after the trip, too, and I did not have any stomach problems as a result. Attentive, professional and extremely caring, Dr. Maura is a top notch naturopathic doctor. I highly recommend her services!

I have been seeing Dr. Maura for years now and I can’t say enough great things about her! She has completely healed me of my skin issues that I have been battling with for a very long time. What I love about her is that she takes the time to listen to you and genuinely cares for your well-being. She ran some tests on me to help pin point what could be causing some of my issues and put me on a customized plan of herbal supplements. Through this whole process I have learned so much about naturopathy and the importance of treating the cause of the disease vs. the symptoms. Dr. Maura is truly one of the best and I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for an all-natural approach to help heal the body.

Review β„–55

Having been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, my gastroenterologist placed me on a daily dose of mercaptopurine. In spite of the medication, I continued to experience abdominal discomfort, and on occasion, pain, severe enough to require a hospitalization. When my doctor suggested I begin taking Humira, I was so frightened by the drug’s potential side-effects that I refused. My wife suggested I seek a more natural solution to my condition, which brought me to Dr. Maura Henninger. After a few simple tests, Dr. Maura provided a list of foods I should avoid, a specific carbohydrate diet and a few daily supplements to support my digestive system and reduce inflammation. Within six weeks, my C-Reactive Protein level dropped from over 100 mg/L to 5.27 mg/L. I feel wonderful and haven’t had any reoccurrence of discomfort or pain. My gastroenterologist is extremely pleased and continues to monitor my condition. He has taken me off all medication! I have Dr. Maura to thank for what could have been a life long struggle with medications, side effects and abdominal pain. She is truly a lifesaver!

Review β„–57

Dr. Maura’s treatment was the only thing that healed a longstanding gut infection that I had begun to feel hopeless about after 2.5 years running from specialist to specialist didn’t give me any results.I came to Dr. Maura to heal SIBO. Before seeing her, I had been put on a few courses of cipro, 3 rounds of metronidazole, two rounds of rifaximin. The GI docs also put me on general diets that covered a myriad of gut issues, but not anything specific to SIBO. They had me on low fodmap diet (eliminating tons of veggies, pulses, fruits, grains, etc.); lactase enzymes (but no tests to imply lactose intolerance was even the issue), some advising no fructose or sucrose, some saying probiotics, some saying no probiotics, etc etc. It felt extremely limiting but without rhyme or reason, let alone attention to related issues going on with rest of body. When rounds of drugs and diets didn’t help the symptoms or bacteria levels, they’d give up and advise seeing another specialist.In my first appt with Dr. Maura, I was happily surprised by her comprehensive analyticsl approach that i hadn’t received from other doctors. She focused on clearing the infection, but also getting to root cause of chronic inflammation that was blocking my body’s ability to heal. She also addressed repair of gut lining.In terms of science, Dr. Maura ordered the same labs as the GI doctors had, but also did additional labs to look for more thorough information in order for her to be able to address my issue specifically. Her approach gets at the root of the issue, instead something to cover up a β€œsymptom” like I had been experiencing with dermatologists and gastroenterologists for all of the systemic issues this had been causing for a couple years.When I started with Dr. Maura, my initial labs showed i had both types of SIBO. One type was so high it was off the chart that the lab uses to display the bacterial overgrowth level. (Note: it’s the same lab company that the MD’s used.)I hadn’t expected the levels to decrease that much at the end of 4.5 months of Dr. Maura’s nutrition and herbal treatment because everything else I’d tried for 2.5 years didn’t work. I was shocked when I got my lab results back. Not only had the bacterial levels gone down, I was completely in the clear and had no SIBO for the first time in s couple years.After getting rid of the infection, she went to next phase of healing, which I have never had in my MD experiences. ( I’m not bashing MD’s bc I think they’re necessary too; I’m only sharing my personal experiences and what has and has not been helpful for me in case it helps someone else.)Dr. Maura continued the healing to including getting my microbiome strong again, able to handle the travel I often do in countries where it’s impossible to avoid infection no matter how careful you are. The healing and building is critical for something like SIBO that has such a high relapse rate, so i find it interesting that she was only doctor to even consider it.Dr. Maura also gave me guidance on preventative measures and how to handle infections with herbals immediately if they do come in future travels.The treatment plan for high SIBO levels did require commitment. For my issue, it meant intense diet restrictions and a lot of herbal pills several times a day, for 4ish months. However, getting my vitality and long term health back was worth every bit of it, and other doctors had been advising other diet restrictions and pills before this anyway. I was able to do the treatment while traveling abroad and often working 60+ hours a week in an extremely stressful job the whole time, so it is absolutely doable if healing is priority.Dr. Maura got me my life back again!

Lets start with the obvious - Dr. Maura is a bonafide expert in the field of naturopatic medicine, and runs a highly successful practice in the heart of New York City. What is not immediately apparent is her customized approach to each patient, the compassionate nature of her work, and the thoughtful process she applies to a field she clearly loves.
