“Dr. Ivy is extremely knowledgable and thorough. When you go to a conventional doctor, they take about 2 minutes to diagnose you and send you off with some type of prescription medicine that often masks the symptoms but does not actually cure the illness (not to mention the side effects that are often coupled w these). My husband and I have consulted with Dr. Ivy for several reasons and have been blown away by her expertise. She takes her time to get to know you and your daily habits so that she can recommend supplements that will work for you . My husband and I were trying to conceive last spring and consulted with her to help us expedite the process. Needless to say, I was pregnant within a month of following her regimen! I am now mother to a beautiful, healthy 5.5 month old baby girl and I give Dr. Ivy much of the credit. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Ivy. She does not mask issues with medications, but instead, helps find long term solutions for what’s causing the issues.”
“Dr. Ivy was able to help me identify and treat my PMDD (Pre-menstrual dysmorphia disorder) which had been a chronic and mysterious issue for me for YEARS. Simply through analyzing blood work and asking the right questions, she created a personalized vitamin regimen for me that has completely changed my emotional and hormonal landscape and eliminated symptoms that ranged from suicidal thoughts, depression, migraines, gastro intestinal discomfort and asthma. Highly recommend!”
“Dr. Ivy is the only doctor I fully trust and would recommend to friends and family. Not only is she super kind, supportive and attentive but she’s extremely intelligent and always gets back to me right away, no matter what. She cured my hormonal issues from birth control within weeks of my first appt. Whenever I need a doctor, I go to her first!”
“I came to Dr. Ivy to try to get my period back after missing it for over 7 months and suffering from PCOS symptoms for 7 years, and within a month of starting her protocol I got my period! Dr. Ivy is incredibly thorough and clearly cares about her patients. I’ve gone to countless ob/gyns and naturopaths and this is by far the best experience (and results) I have ever had. Highly, highly recommend!!!”
“Dr. Ivy is very wonderful to work with. I mainly visited with her via phone as I live out of state and work in remote areas for extended periods of time. She was very responsive and compassionate, and was a delight to work with. She helped me to rid HPV with a comprehensive naturopathic vitamin/supplement regime and diet. I highly recommend working with her. Thanks Dr. Ivy!”
“Dr. Ivy is a miracle worker! She helped me tremendously and I am so grateful to her. Prior to Dr. Ivy, I had never worked with an ND, but I decided to reach out to her when I was feeling less than 100 percent and could not figure out why. I was amazed by how during our first appointment, Dr. Ivy was able to pinpoint what was happening with me and create a plan to fix it. I am so happy to say that it worked! Through Dr. Ivy’s dietary recommendations and targeted natural supplements, I was feeling better within weeks. Perhaps best of all, though, was her kind and understanding demeanor. She checked in with me even in between appointments and it was so clear that she genuinely cared and was very invested in my health and happiness. Dr. Ivy is the best!”
“I took by teenage daughter to see Dr. Ivy for a stubborn skin condition. She was very attentive during the visit and provided us with a very easy to follow protocol. Within weeks my daughter’s skin condition was clear and she was immensely relieved. I highly recommend Dr. Ivy, she is professional, knowledgeable and supportive. ”
“Dr. Ivy changed my life. More precisely, she helped me stop a disease process that mainstream doctors thought would surely develop into cancer if I did not have a minor surgery. Instead — much to my oncologist’s wild disbelief — after 6 months of Dr. Ivy’s natural treatment protocol, we had reversed the process. Another 6 months later, it was gone.
She’s a thoughtful, well-versed, diligent and honest practitioner, and particularly versed in women’s health. I recommend her to everyone! Thanks, Dr. Ivy!”
“Very caring and kind professional who helped my son overcome his acid reflux as a baby and helped me get stronger and feeling more energetic while nursing. Ivy is a lovely person and professional”
“I started seeing Dr. Branin almost a year ago. She is incredibly friendly, professional and brilliant! I went in because my body was experiencing an imbalance. She put me on a protocol for 6 months and recently I went in for a check up and everything was back to normal. YES!! I can’t explain how grateful I am for Dr.Branin’s knowledge of medicinal herbs and alternative medicine and she was always readily available to share any information with me when I had questions about anything. She really spends time with you and gets down to business! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“I had a severe case of reflux. As well as general pain and inflammation, it had caused a lesion on my vocal cords. An MD was treating me, in addition to adjusting diet, with large dosages of over the counter anti acids. Things improved for a couple months when they plateaued then got worse again. The drugs ceased working and seemed to backfire, the lesion and symptoms got worse. The MDs were anxious to operate to remove the lesion by surgery, even though the cause [reflux] had not been tamed. I was not crazy about the idea of surgery in general, especially on such a delicate organ.
I was referred to Dr. Ivy by a friend. She began by questioning me about diet, lifestyle, work, stress, other medical matters. After a few sessions, designed a regimen of supplements. It took about 4-5 months, but the MDs were pleasantly shocked to see the lesion was gone and the general inflammation of the entire area had subsided. My painful reflux and other symptoms had gone away too. Very happy to be have cured both the cause and symptoms with Dr. Ivy’s help, and of course, avoided surgery. I of course continue my regimen to stay healthy.”
“I took my fourteen year old daughter to see Dr. Branin for ringworm. We found her to be friendly and professional. Her office was conveniently located and welcoming. Dr. Branin spent an hour talking with my daughter and created a custom protocol for her to follow. My daughter followed the protocol religiously and within a few weeks the ringworm was gone. If you are looking for an alternative healer who uses natural remedies, I would highly recommend Dr. Branin.”
