I made an appointment with Dr. Wallace to get some lab work done related to herbs I use (I have been working with her business partner, Laura, at Holistic Pathways for over a year). I am also having a hard time due to unexpected inflammation, pain, and slow healing from a recent medical procedure. I was blown away by the initial intake. Dr. Wallace spent more than 90 minutes with me, and our follow-ups have been equally informative --she actually sat next to me and explained each blood test and results . (Im lucky to get more than 7 minutes from my derm, primary or eye doctor.) Looking at my previous lab results she was able to make suggestions for easy fixes (vitamins) to what seemed like health problems to my other docs - who just kept drawing blood and saying they didnt know what was wrong because no disease or tumor was found.She also made many ties between issues Ive had in the past and today that no one else ever told me could be related--some of them that connect emotional to physical health. Her recommendations for making very easy changes to my diet have made a huge difference very quickly, and they have not been any trouble for me to do. She even ordered a tasty protein shake and supplements and had them shipped to my door! Dr. Wallace truly takes a holistic approach to healing and health: food intake, supplements, herbs, and other methods of promoting ones health. Ive decided that her broad knowledge and approach are essential to my life-long health --versus my more Western-inclined docs who only handle disease. Ive also learned with the Western docs that if you are an outlier to the clinical data that reflect the majority you are in trouble because they do not know how to help you, wont take the time to consider alternatives, and dismiss self-care methods, which in my case have made a big difference. Dr. Wallace is also very willing to discuss concerns and answer questions--even to her own advice. (My friend who is having heart issues recently told me that her cardiologist yelled at her for "questioning him".) What a refreshing experience with a health care provider. I highly recommend meeting Dr. Wallace as I am sure you will be pleased with her approach and recommendations.

I recently completed a series of treatments with Dr. Wallace which she administered over a course of eight weeks. This process began with an initial consultation and included office visits twice weekly for the duration. From the first visit Dr. Wallace exceeded my expectations. She collaborated with my other doctors, including NDs and MDs, to create a treatment plan that was right for me. Dr. Wallace is knowledgeable and experienced in naturopathic practices and continues to stay abreast of current research. She is friendly, professional, and a dedicated listener. At every visit I received individualized care that was tailored to my exact needs and circumstances. In addition to in-office treatment, Dr. Wallace provided me with take home tinctures and remedies which I continue to use. I highly recommend her care to others and trust they will find the same competent, compassionate care that I have been so fortunate to receive.

Ive been working with Dr. Wallace for about a year, and she is outstanding. She takes the time to listen to all of my unique and probably not-so-unique concerns and is invested in helping me figure out the right nuanced balance to address my overall health and well being. She thoroughly reviews all lab tests and blood work with me and follows up on any other investigation/inquiry needed. She is conscientious about the cost of tests and only suggests tests that she thinks will help provide information and a treatment path. She is always accessible and available for follow up. Her medical background plus her ND training and certification is a great blend to ensuring a balanced, healthy life. I highly recommend Dr. Wallace as a complete medical/wellness provider.

It was a bit of a winding path but holy moly has working with Dr. Wallace made a difference! A year ago it was suggested to me that I might have Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome--low energy overall, needing naps in the afternoons or crashing, feeling wired during poor and restless sleep. Dr. Wallace got right on in with the first visit: a few easy tests, some supplements, some conversations about lifestyle habits and what to change. These days I sleep beautifully, wake up well rested and have energy for my whole day. My immune system is so much better than it was--feeling healthy is the new norm.

Dr Wallace is a gift! She has the medical training along with a great way of explaining complicated things simply. She went over blood work with me more extensively than any Dr Ive had in the past. In addition she didnt lecture me on anything, but gave me very approachable ways to continue on my quest for a healthier lifestyle. If you want someone to help guide your path to whole health, I dont think you could do better!

Love Dr Wallace! I have been working with her for only a few short months, but she has helped me regain sleep, reduce anxiety and regain energy. I hadnt realized how stressed I had been the last few years and how it had really affected my overall health. She is helping me regain my health. She spends time with you and doesnt rush you. Listens very well. Will keep seeing her and plan to bring children to her.

Dr. Wallace has helped me immensely through assisting with supplements, herbs and dietary changes to improve my health. I started going several months ago and she really listened to me and my health problems and worked with me to find a solution. Dr. Wallace is kind, patient and professional and I recommend her to others who are interested in taking a more holistic approach to their health concerns.

Karrina, you are a wealth of knowledge and it was a pleasure to speak with an ND about my health and to course correct my daily supplementation routine. See you in March!
