Patient Stories

"I have been to 3 internists and 4 gastroenterologists about these stomach issues I've been having.  They all ran the same tests and said there was no problem.  I have to admit I was skeptical coming in to your office, but you asked questions that none of the other doctors had asked before they ran the tests.  It's been hard, but I've been avoiding the food sensitivities you found on the tests, and I haven't had a flare-up since!  I can hardly believe it!  Thank you!"
25 year old female patient (Gastrointestinal issues)

"I just wanted to thank you so much for your personal care with my son.  As you know, when we first came to your office, he could only say a few words and was constantly looking out the window instead of making eye contact.  It's been hard, but after following your treatment for 6 months, he is saying complete sentences, making eye contact with all our family members and I think you remember this from our last visit: 'Dr. Kannankeril, look out the window, the crane is moving.  Also, your name is hard to pronounce!'  It's been wonderful working with you and we're so glad we found your practice."
Regarding 6 year old male patient (Autism)

"Amazing experience from the time I signed in to checking out.  Everyone was friendly and supportive.  Dr. Kannankeril spent a generous amount of time listening to me and understanding my history and concerns.  She was also extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand when explaining my treatment path.  I am in a place of thanks and gratitude for the support and compassion, as well as the personal, loving, human element Dr. Kannankeril exudes.  I look forward to my return visit."
30 year old female patient (Hormone imbalance)

"I couldn't have made it here without Dr. Kannankeril.  I was on bio-identical hormones including testosterone for 2 years without any help in my hot flashes or libido.  On my first visit, Dr. K listened to what I was going through and reassessed everything.  I'm on a treatment specific to me now and my energy is up, hot flashes gone and my libido is getting back up there.  I really appreciate the work she's done for me and I can't recommend her enough.  I'm taking my first vacation in 10 years and I couldn't have done it without her treatment."
50 year old female patient (Hormone Imbalance)

"I told my daughter that I'm so happy to have you as my doctor.  You have this magnet with your personality that makes you so easy to talk to.  You let me talk, but you listen to me, which is more than most doctors do.  And I'm getting better!"
32 year old female patient (Fibromyalgia)

"I wanted to share some really good news with you.  I've been on your treatment for about 2 weeks now and I have no complaints on my period for the first time in 8 years!  No mood swings, no cramps, no pain!  I wasn't expecting to feel this good so soon and I don't think you were either, so it's amazing!  Thank you!"
22 year old female patient (Women's Health, Premenstrual Syndrome)

"I don't know what it is about you or your office, but I always feel so comfortable around you.  I can open up about anything and you're able to make connections and help me make changes.  I always leave your office feeling better about everything and it's a great feeling."
54 year old female patient (Depression and Anxiety)

"All the lifestyle changes you've instilled in me and have truly paid off.  My previous doctor told me to go on a diet and exercise more.  You've given me the tools so I don't have to diet.  I know how to shop now, what different foods will do to my body and I can apply that to my whole family's diet.  We're on a whole new path as a family because of you and I appreciate all the help you've given me!"
40 year old female patient (General wellness, Prevention)

"I tell my family every day that you're my angel.  You're the only doctor who listened to me and trusted what I was saying enough to run the right tests to figure out what was wrong with me.  I wouldn't have had a diagnosis before coming to you and without actually following the protocol, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you."
37 yo female patient (Gastrointestinal issues)

"It seems like we've hardly gotten started on the DAN! treatment with our son and we're seeing results already.  I can't tell you how frustrating it has been going through the schools and IEPs and even pediatricians.  It seems like no one listens or wants to listen.  Going through this has been so hard on me and my husband and your office was such a find.  It's hard to put our son through any kind of treatment because we're worried about what it will do to him.  You always explain everything to us in a way we both understand and you always seem very careful in your treatments and running the tests to make sure he won't have any side effects.  It makes us feel secure in our treatment decisions and it's something we never found with any of the autism resources.  We really want to thank you for all your help throughout all of this."
Regarding 2 year old male patient (Autism)

"I've been going to Dr. Kannankeril since 2006 and we got on a path towards treating my hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis.  I no longer have joint pain and I have been steadily decreasing my thyroid medication.  I feel the best I've felt in years.  I'm Dr. K's biggest fan and can't thank her enough."
48 year old female patient (Hypothyroidism, Rheumatoid Arthritis)

"Thank you so much for your time, your attentiveness and your explanations.  In the hospital and even with my regular doctor who I've seen for years, I never got this level of care.  No one ever explained to me anything about my diabetes or high cholesterol.  They just gave me the medication.  You took the time to explain everything to me and my daughter and we have learned so much from you.  Thank you again."
65 year old female patient (Diabetes and Cardiac issues)

"I tried everything from medications to acupuncture and nothing worked for that feeling of low energy.  I just couldn't shake it.  My regular doc thought it was in my head and only listened to me for a few minutes, but I knew something wasn't right.  Two appointments with Dr. Kannankeril and everything has changed.  I'm actually waking up before my alarm clock and I have energy to exercise again.  She ran some tests and then actually sat down to review the results with me!  I only had a doc call back if things weren't ok.  After the testing, we found out that I had a gluten allergy and the doctor guided me through the dautning task of giving up gluten.  It's been a great experience and I'm very satisfied with the results." 
45 year old male patient (Chronic fatigue)

"Dr. K, you are a tremendous blessing to me. Rarely in health care today, do people get the kind of care you give.  It means so much.  I truly appreciate it."
42 year old female patient (Chronic migraines)

"I was suffering from fatigue for 6 years after a particularly stressful period. After hormone testing and an intense diet change, Dr. K has helped me get the energy back to take care of myself.  Her techniques for stress management have helped my whole family!  I'm very grateful to her."
38 year old female patient (Hormone imbalance)

"I came in to you feeling like I was about to die, I had never felt so bad in my life.  I came out of desperation, but I never believed in this stuff.  And literally within a day of following your treatment, I haven't felt that way again. I just want to give you a hug, I'm so happy."
45 year old female patient (Lyme disease)

"We thank you very much for all of your information, time, and care.  We always enjoy our visits and appreciate your compassion and passion for your work."
33 year old female patient (Preventive care, Wellness)

"My teenage daughter has traveled throughout the world, picking up parasites and always treated with heavy medication.  On our last trip, she had over a week of severe stomach upset and other symptoms.  We finally decided to go to Dr. Kannankeril for naturopathic treatment and she ordered testing.  The testing found Blastocystis hominis which we looked up on the internet as very difficult to treat.  Dr. Kannankeril put my daughter on her specific series of herbal preparations, some lifestyle changes and changed my daughter's diet and since that first week of treatment, she has been symptom-free!  We always believed in this kind of medicine, but it's so nice to see it work so quickly."
