Laurie Mischley, ND

The bad right up front: You may have a wait, long past your appointed time. Last time, I worked around that by snagging the first appointment of the day.
OK, now that that’s out of the way, everything else is so exceptional, it’s off the charts.
I’ve seen other naturopaths, but, I hate to say this, they seemed a little flakey, not like the kind of docs I would want to see for something dramatically serious. That is, until I found Dr Erica Oberg who eventually moved to San Diego and then, after a few misfires, Dr. Janci Karp, my current fabulous general care ND physician. I got lucky twice to find an ND who combined the best of both worlds, naturopathic and allopathic. Until Dr. Mischely; that makes three great docs!
Janci, recommended I see her when I was smacked in the face by an allopathic doc with a diagnosis of MS. Really, I just went to see him to find out why I had a pain in my eye. An ophthalmologist has suggested I see a neurologist when he couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Well, this fellow I went to see, he couldn’t figure out why the eye pain, after we did the MRIs, and he had no interest in pursuing that.
But he was sure I have MS though I’ve never had a a thing that could constitute a symptom, no matter how hard we dug. Nevertheless, he was 100% sure and told me to hurry up, get out of denial and on the preventative meds regimen for the rest of my life. I said, «Woah, hold your horses, there, Doc,» and hoofed it to Dr. Karp who sent me to Laura.
Am I glad she did! Laura found a dramatic deficiency that explains my scans and can be corrected by a supplement.
I asked her, «When should I come back?» She waved me off with the words, «My work here is done.» OK, there was a lot more to it. We did tests, studied my other test results, she asked questions and listened to the answers with great intelligence and keen insight. She gave me a fantastic education and facilitated my making the choices I feel are right for me, but are based on her huge reservoir of knowledge and experience.
Oh, and the eye pain? It pretty much went away once I stopped reading for hours on my iphone4. Who woulda thunk ;-)

I found Laurie Mischley after having my second baby and suffering from a pretty bad MS «relapse». I was in an empowered living course and met her there. I found that like some other people mentioned I had test results that showed some serious deficiencies as well as allergy charts that were showing a reaction to near everything… I did follow the instructions to supplement as she suggested and am very happy to say that I really haven’t had any serious MS symptoms since I started focusing on improving the basic health of my body (mind and soul too!).
I always enjoy my appointments with her as she is SO chock full of information and I like to stay up to date. As a person who was diagnosed with MS 10+ years ago and as the founder of
a community of mothers diagnosed with multiple sclerosis can get peer support I highly recommend finding a naturopath who has experience dealing with Multiple Sclerosis… and if you have a naturopath that isn’t specialized make sure they have Laurie’s information because I’m sure she has information to share… hopefully a book or something will come out of her on this topic soon!

I agree completely with Bradford C.‘s review! Dr. Laurie Mischley is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with as my doc. I have a somewhat complicated medical picture for which I’ve seen many specialists and regular MDs… Laurie was the one to figure out the full picture and solve what others could not.
She is a Naturopathic doctor, but is a-​typical as she really looks at the whole picture from a very balanced perspective and isn’t averse to turning to Western medicine when needed. She is very well versed and informed/​well-​read in all types of medicine/​healing, and really takes time to get your full picture, seemingly related or not.
For me, she quickly went from being ‘just another doc I was having to see,’ to being someone I consider a friend. She takes everything in your life as being part of your health picture and holistically treats you as oppose to just finding out isolated symptoms and trying to treat those in a bubble. I have recommended her to all of my family and friends as the person to go to as a doctor. My only regret is not to be able to find more excuses to see her. She is great! If you haven’t found that perfect doctor yet, I highly recommend her! Believe me when I say you won’t regret it

I’ve gone to Laurie for a number of years. Sadly for me, it is in fits and starts — but if I had my choice she’d probably have the SPD remove me from the office cause I’d be there all the time! «Wow!», you say…“this guy must be really sick!”…“in the head, and the body!”
Oh no, my friends… its just I know a GREAT doctor when I see her and Laurie Mischley is it! I was skeptical at first recommendation as she’s a naturopathic physician and the last thing I wanted was someone who’d prescribe 4 eagle feathers and a crystal! (My bad!) What Laurie is is a doctor who cares about ALL aspects of your health. Truly — mind, body, spirit — as they all affect each other. And she doesn’t throw the baby out with the bath water in regard to traditional medicine — if that is an option or a necessity, she’ll tell ya’. And isn’t part of getting healthy knowing all of your options?
Dr. Laurie Mischley is everything a GREAT doctor should be.
