Marsha Nunley, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Nunley’s for 3 ½ years now. Upon arriving from Hawaii where superior medical care is hard to come by, I knew that I would find a physician who could help me with bio-​identical therapy in San Francisco. My first attempt was with a doctor from NYC who simply met with me in her fancy downtown office. It felt like a hostile job interview rather than a meeting with a medical doctor. My second encounter was with a doctor who seemed established and well versed– in male hormone therapy.
Needless to say, I wanted to doctor who could empathize with my specific needs, because had done a considerable amount of research and knew intuitively what I needed/​wanted. I was surprised that there were so few doctor’s that worked in this field– especially in SF, but the third time was a charm when I met with Dr. Marsha Nunley!
I am very pleased with the ongoing care, treatments and medical advice and follow up I receive at each visit. I would highly recommended Dr. Nunley. I appreciate how she and her staff are not only professional, but empathetic, friendly and knowledgeable. I am also impressed with the continued growth in her practice as she provides alternative treatments for patients who care about being pro-​active with their own health.

* Since I saw her in November, I asked repeatedly for a doctor’s note simply stating that she saw me and what she’s treating me for, for my employer. I never got it. I asked roughly 5 – 6 times for it over a 3 month period.
* During my appointment Dr Nunley stated «I think you need cortisol.» But she never followed up with even a phone call to see how I was doing.
* I spent about $ 1000 that day ($ 400 for her consultation fee + $ 300 in supplements + $ 300 in hormones). The supplements gave me diarrhea so I was instructed to just stop taking them.
* Every phone message or email I sent, I had to wait about a week before I got a reply. Despite this lag in response time, the doctor would not even consider extending my hormone prescriptions for a few weeks so I could get the lab work done and gather the money needed for that plus the follow up fee.
Terrible service, awfully inattentive. I’m going elsewhere.

The customer service experience at Dr. Nunley’s office has been a huge hassle for me. I have emailed 3 times and left a voicemail asking to have an itemized copy of my bill sent to me so I can re-​submit it to my insurance (and be reimbursed $ 375) and Dr. Nunley’s office has not bothered to respond.
This is consistent with their lack of response a few months ago when I emailed at least 3 times and left at least 3 voicemails asking for the results of a lab test. I’m left with the impression that Dr. Nunley’s office is really inattentive.
Also, during my visit to Dr. Nunley’s office she checked her phone for text messages!
According to this website doctors are legally required to provide a electronic itemized copy of patient bills for free:

Fabulous Dr, I think she’s really great! She just helped with a pain medicine consult and was able to easily and quickly offer nutritional and supplement support and advice to my wife, in addition to helping her understand which is better for her; aspirin vs ibuprofen vs acetaminophen vs the opioids.
She also was able to offer advice on how and what kind of physical therapy assessment we should get, and that was a huge, huge help!
Plus, she was very personable, friendly, down to earth and nice.
What a great mixture and blend of interpersonal, technical and professional.
We highly recommend her, and think any body interested in preventive medical help ought to see her.

Dr. Nunley has greatly helped me achieve my health goals. She’s supported me through adrenal challenges and helped me get back to full strength. Most recently, she has helped me with some chronic issues that are likely due to genetic predisposition. I feel we have a game plan that will work. The treatment protocol has not involved debilitating or fatiguing medications, but have rather helped me focused on energy and health-​creating solutions.

Dr. Nunley has helped me tremendously. When I first saw her, I was struggling with Peri-​Menopause, thyroid issues and weight gain. Since September of 2011, I have lost over 30 pounds, my thyroid and hormones are more in balance and I feel wonderful!!! She has helped me to feel like my old self again and given me renewed enthusiasm for life! I recommend her highly.

I have been suffering from hormonal imbalances since I was a preteen. Nearly a decade battle of chronic acne, sporadic weight gain, mood swings, irregular menstrual cycles, and severe cramps, I saw an abundance of doctors that diagnosed me with varying conditions from PCOS to endometriosis. As a result, I was prescribed with synthetic hormones that improved a portion of my symptoms in sporadic bursts. Disgruntled with the traditional medical system, I sought out alternate methods of treatment that would not only heal the root problem of my imbalances, but would also be sustainable. Dr. Nunley entered my life and changed it forever. She performed a comprehensive analysis of my wellness that included my diet, exercise, genetics, emotional wellbeing, and medical testing of my blood work. She recommended a bio-​identical treatment called the Wiley Protocol. It has been three years since I’ve been using the WP treatment and my menstrual cycle has not skipped a beat. My symptoms have subsided without compromising my desire to prepare for children in my near future. In a world saturated with mediocre doctors, Dr. Nunley genuinely cares for the overall wellbeing of her patients. Approachable, kind, and knowledgeable, I wish that everyone I know could be in the healing hands of Dr. Nunley.
