Alysa Nguyen, ND, LAc

I’ve been seeing Dr. Alysa for about 6 months now and the changes I have seen are tremendous! I came in with a handful of issues the biggest one being severe menstrual pain due to cysts. I have been taking her recommended herbal supplements along with acupuncture treatments and my pain has improved significantly. Before seeing Dr. Alysa, my regular doctor suggested I try birth control for a while, which was actually making my symptoms worse! I am so happy I found Dr. Alysa! She is a great listener, and takes into consideration all your health concerns, and tries to find you a plan that will work well for you and your budget. She also takes my insurance now, definitely a plus! You should give her a try especially if you have tried other western alternatives and found no relief.

I am an herbal supplement junkie. I have a high stress job and it really helps me cope. But after one acupuncture treatment with Dr. Nguyen, I felt better, more uplifted & rejuvenated than any amount of supplements ever have made me feel.
She is an intuitive doctor and really takes the time to listen to all the subtle signs that an average doctor or acupuncturist would miss.
I highly recommend giving her treatments a chance.

I consulted with Alysa about addressing my Restless Leg Syndrome symptoms through homeopathic methods. Alysa spent a lot of time with me on gathering initial information about my health and habits. I am a retired health care social worker and I was impressed with her thoroughness and thoughtfulness in the initial interview. We went over treatments options and I selected what made sense for me. Three months later, I am more relaxed and getting better sleep without the need of continuing treatments. Thank you, Alysa!

I started working with Dr Alysa about 3 years ago and have nothing but good things to say; so much so that I am even continuing my treatment with her remotely even after I have moved. Not only is she truly gifted in understanding her patients from a naturopathic standpoint, but her knowledge of Chinese Medicine, including herbs, and other plant-​based formulas is truly outstanding. Going the naturopathic route in health care requires a certain level of autonomy and understanding by the patient. Dr Alysa encourages you to take your health into your own hands, to listen to your body’s signals and responses, and to seek balance in yourself. Using multiple modalities to help her patients on their individual journeys, whether for pain management, hormonal issues, or countless other maladies, Dr Alysa spends a large part of her consultation listening, something truly lacking in most health care environments. From day one I felt heard, understood and cared for. She is a healer for all the meaning the word can hold. She has always encouraged me to only take supplements when necessary, do tests when necessary, and let my body be the true barometer for my health. Many naturopathic doctors encourage the use of bio identical hormones, but in keeping with her commitment to helping the body heal, and balance itself, she never encouraged me to take these treatments, and instead helped me learn to support my body and it’s hormones, in a way that would create lasting balance. I have learned so much from her that it has inspired me on my own journey to get my degree in Naturopathic Medicine, so that I can affect people’s lives in the positive way that she has affected mine. If you are looking for a partner in achieving optimum health and wellness for your body, she is truly the best out there. She is not only my go to person for any and all counseling when it comes to my body, but she is also my mentor for the kind of practitioner I hope to be some day. Consider yourself lucky you have found her!

I started to see Dr. Nguyen because i was having issues with hormone balancing. She gave me around 4 different «medicines» to take but I didn’t really responded to any of them. So on that part, I didn’t get much help.
I also received accupunture which I believe she is talented in. It was nice to get accupunture and I feel like it assisted me but didn’t rid me of my issues.
She is a very nice, sweet and calm lady. She really listens to you and wants to help. Unfortunately, for me, I didn’t get the treatment I needed. I think I have a more complex case though.

Tim G. clearly has no idea that «psycho-​therapy» is often a component of an integrative approach that only the best practitioners employ. (My chiropractor does it too, even though I am seeing him for whiplash sustained as the result of a car accident.)
That being said, Dr. Nguyen is a gifted healer, who genuinely cares about her patients. I have a thyroid/​auto-​immune disorder that we have patiently been working on for the last 6 months. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s outside the spectrum of «traditional medicine,» but we are seeking to end a war my body has waged against itself for the last 20 years.
Wellness doesn’t happen overnight. It’s not a magic pill that Big Pharma wants you to take. (I already went that route for 20 years.)
It takes determined perseverance, and that is what I have found with Dr. Nguyen — a practitioner who listens to my symptoms, not just the black and white lab results, and takes my unique experience into account. I finally feel like I have an ally in my struggles as opposed to a doctor patting me on the head and telling me I should feel fine.
We’re not out of the woods yet, but I am confident I found the right partner to lead me on that journey.

I rarely write negative reviews on Unilocal.As a small business owner myself, I find it hard to really go negative unless it’s warranted. Which brings me to my experience with Dr. Nguyen…
…a few years ago, I was having problems with always being tired. Being a great believer in homeopathic and naturopathic health, I looked up Dr. Nguyen and made an appointment. What a mistake!
Shortly after I arrived, Dr. Nguyen ran some tests. This is to be expected. But then it got weird… really weird.
She started to ask me about my relationship with my parents. I felt like I was being psycho-​analyzed when all I had was a problem getting enough sleep.
I felt really creeped out when I left and vowed never to go back. The kicker… all this psycho-​analyzation wasn’t cheap. A complete waste of money.
Further, it took going to a homeopath who knew what he was doing to fix the problem… which, weirdly enough, had nothing to do with possible parental issues.

Dr. Alysa is awesome! She’s been so helpful in treating numerous physical problems I’ve had in the past year. She takes the time to really do a complete physical and go over lab results. She has given me accupuncture, cupping and even massage treatments and has also recommended natural vitamins and herbs. Every time I left her office I felt better and very relaxed! Thanks Dr. Alysa
