I was referred to Nourish by a friend. I browsed their web site and read over the 'Providers and Staff' bios to try and decide which doctor I wanted to see based on my needs. Honestly, it was a bit of a shot in the dark. Prices of visits vary depending on who you see. I called to make an appointment, and was disappointed to find out it was about 3 months before I could get in. I was called and offered an earlier appointment when someone else cancelled, but I couldn't make it, so I stuck with my original appointment time. The front desk staff were always pleasant when I interacted with them. You have the option to visit in person or through an on-line virtual video visit. For my first visit, I decided to go in-person as I wanted to make a connection with the doctor and for her to really "see me". The office is very clean, modern and upscale, although not 'cold and clinical'. The decor colors are welcoming and serene. There is a waiting room and then you're called back to your doctor's office and walk through a common area with a large table. There's a small restroom and a phlebotomist's room. I left after my first visit (which was about an hour) with my head spinning slightly as I felt like I had some 'homework' to do before my next visit. This included downloading an app, through which to order supplements and ordering said supplements. Organizing getting bloodwork (which, after some research turned out to be less expensive through a 3rd party lab, not through the Nourish phlebotomist), ordering a prescription through a compound pharmacy and purchasing and utilizing a continual glucose monitor through a retail outlet. While wearing the monitor, I had to enter any food consumed and any exercise activity into the glucose monitor app. Communication with your Nourish doctor is done through a 'patient portal'. Any messages I sent were usually answered within a couple of days. I also called the front desk a few times with questions and they were happy to help. For my second visit, I chose the convenience of meeting virtually to save commute time. This visit was about 40 minutes, through the portal. The doctor I chose was professional, knowledgeable and pleasant, but not particularly warm and bubbly. She didn't smile much. Not a lot of pleasantries like , 'How was your summer?' or 'How was the drive here?' or whatever, just strictly down to business. That's OK as I realize time is money, but I like a little bit more of a friendlier/interactive bedside manner. Between two visits, some bloodwork (outside my provider network), several supplements, a compound pharmacy prescription and mail delivery, plus purchasing a glucose monitor, (also out of my provider network), I spent just over $1,100. After my second visit, it kind of occurred to me that the operation relies a little heavily on the recommendation of supplements which you order through a portal they suggest -- obviously they make a commission. (I was told by the front desk to 'Not order through Amazon'!) I didn't feel like the first set of supplements had done much, so I decided not to order the second set that was suggested. I felt I was given very minimal nutritional advice. I'm glad I gave Nourish and naturopathy a try and I was pleased that I was tested/monitored for things that my regular medical provider wouldn't bother testing for, however, ultimately I didn't feel like it solved much for me. There is free on-site parking. Helpful?

What an amazing experience! I was tired for years and traditional doctors said I was "just a busy mom." Dr. Stewart is wonderful and ran more comprehensive tests than my other traditional doctors, which resulted in me getting diagnosed with a thyroid disorder. After starting thyroid medicine, I feel so great, and I'm so appreciative that Dr. Stewart took my concerns seriously and got to the root problem. Now I can just feel like a mom! Thank you so much Nourish Medical!

Dr. Liza was so helpful in resolving our son's constipation. Through testing she figured out gut imbalance was the underlying cause and developed a treatment plan tailored to our family. She carefully explained all of the test results, answered all of our questions, and provided a plan that truly worked. Dr. Liza is thoughtful and thorough- we felt fully supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a genuinely caring provider, I highly recommend!

Hi Dr. Jordi I just wanted to thank you once again for truly caring about your patients. My daughter Romy is one of them. Since our visit to your office, with the labs, treatments, and lifestyle changes, she’s become a completely different child. I can hardly believe my eyes. She’s happy, thriving, full of energy, and calm. She’s back to herself. She just turned four, and I remember thinking, What if she’s still sick by then? But she’s not 🥲🥲🥲 Conventional medicine was no help for us at all, forever grateful for functional medicine and your kind soul 💕
