What People are Saying

Dr. Mike helped to overhaul my health beginning at the root causes.
After years of seeing specialists for worsening GI issues, allergies, skin issues, anxiety, emotional lability, chronic fatigue, brain fog, etc. only to be given bandaid medications or to be told “it’s normal”, I am so happy I found Dr. Mike. The lab tests he ordered were so important and yielded crucial information to unlock my underlying issues as well as give measurable proof of my health gains afterwards.
He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about staying up to date on health-related research. He also takes the time to pass on this knowledge and empower his patients to take control of their own health.
