I have been going to SJIM since 2019. Dr. Brown is great! She is a great listener and able to help with possible solutions and treatment. Aside from acupuncture, she recommended massage with Helena. I continue to go to SJIM because I completely entrust them when it comes to my health and wellbeing.

I do not recommend this office. I am sure Dr. Brown is a great dr. but the office staff and billing department do not know how to handle a simple process such as allowing me to submit a benefits level exception. My insurance spoke the office twice and explained it does not impact the office or billing, but the billing department was too stubborn to listen and refused to see me as a patient. Even though I agreed to pay for all services up front and agreed to submit any insurance bills myself so as not to involve the billing department. Very frustrating overall experience with this office.

Dr Brown is very knowledgeable and, unlike many doctors I've had is excellent at listening to patients. She has helped me in many ways, I highly recommend Dr Brown.

Dr. Brown does a great job listening to my concerns, interpreting lab results and providing great guidance to keep me healthy. If you need an ND, go see Dr. Brown!

I appreciated the opportunity to have a get acquainted phone call with Dr Brown prior to setting up an appt. My health insurance doesn't cover neuropathic doctors, so I wanted to "screen" if I thought she'd be a good fit for me. With both her questions and listening of me, I felt assured to make an appointment with her and have felt very good about her thorough assessment and recommendations.

I LOVE DR. BROWN! She changed my life! When I was struggling with severe anxiety most Drs wanted to put me on anti-depressants and xanax. Little did I know that my anxiety was caused by menopause. And I can thank Dr. Brown for that. She was able to help me and get it under control with HRT. Dr. Brown is my hero!

I took my son to see Dr. Brown because he was having a lot of gut issues. She helped us look at everything that could be contributing to his problems. We did a plethora of labs and tests and she was able to see what was going on. She made some recommendations for some supplements and he is no longer having his issues. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Dr Brown is helping me after decades of improperly treated hypothyroidism. She is methodical and analytical, and at the same time very kind and caring. Her office is not fancy, but very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Her rates are very reasonable, and have so far fallen within the range that my insurance considers “reasonable and customary.” If you prefer a western medicine approach that also incorporates the rational use of non-pharmaceuticals such as appropriate hormone and nutrition support, she is a good choice even though she also offers acupuncture. Her medical massage therapist Helen is also very talented. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a holistic approach to a chronic health problem.

I have been seeing Dr Brown for a couple of years. She is a highly competent, kind, empathetic person who truly cares about her patients. She knows the right questions to ask in order to help you feel better and is a great listener. Even though I have Kaiser Insurance I feel it is worth it to pay out of pocket to see her. She is so knowledgeable about alternative non prescription herbs and natural remedies that actually work. She requisitioned lab tests that Kaiser wouldn't run which were very helpful in diagnosing some problems which were easily treatable. In trying to determine how to eliminate my almost constant acid reflux Dr. Brown ran a food sensitivity test that showed I was very allergic to eggs which I had been eating every morning, no more eggs, no more reflux. She prescribed more natural compounded drugs that Kaiser would not cover, but the price from the mail order pharmacy she recommended is about the same as Kaiser would charge for my co-payment. To top it off, Dr Brown has such a nice personality, I don't know what I would do without her, I hope she never retires!

I have been seeing Dr. Brown for over 6 years now I think. I have been through many ups and downs physically with her and she has always been supportive and helped me in every way. She is not just a naturopath, but a friend you can tell anyone to and has amazing empathy and healing skills.Anything that ails you, hormones, pain, allergies, she will help.Her office is also so warm and comfortable, it is like a spa experience, and I just feel like my day gets immensely better when I go to her. Highly recommend

Dr Brown cured my GI problems: I am a ultramarathon runner who was having GI issues so severe that if I tried to run even a couple miles I would vomit. I even began vomiting after eating despite making healthy choices. After working with Dr Brown she found the cause of my severe gastrointestinal problems (when traditional medicine could not) and recommended supplements and dietary changes that cured my symptoms completely. I drive over 90 miles to see Dr Brown because she has helped me so much. Plus, she was kind enough to do our follow up visits over the phone. I cannot recommend her enough!

Dr. Brown is a very caring, knowledgeable, effective, and personable doctor. I come to her for acupuncture services. I recall coming in for a free consultation several years ago to see if we were a good match. I would say that we are as I have been a patient since our first initial get-to-know me meeting. She pays attention to all of my concerns and never made me feel rushed. She answers all of my questions, big or small. She provides guidance and works with information I have from other doctors, treatments I may be on, and calms my worries. She is very gentle with the needles (most times, I don't feel a thing). She turns on relaxing music, offers a heat lamp, and everything is very quiet. If my appointment is an hour, she is not one minute short. I always leave feeling calm and relaxed. She has also addressed many of my concerns, even after only a small number of visits. I would say I start feeling relief after the first treatment.
