This is a money hungry office that does not look out for the best interest of their patients. Dr. Todd Maderis prescribes costly IV treatments that are not FDA approved. They do not work and his ego is hurt when you point that out. He switches your treatment plan to another treatment plan with little to no explanation and will switch the plan many times.
This office expects you to be prepared to shell out many thousands of dollars for experimental treatments that likely won't work. Dr. Todd Maderis will ignore you if you tell him that you believe the treatment isn't working. Even worse, he will discharge you from his practice with little to no explanation if he feels that you are questioning his motives or reasons for his prescribed treatment plan.
The office will also refuse to to show you the labs that you paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to have performed unless you go to a follow up appointment to review the results. I asked to see my lab results prior to an appointment so that I could prepare questions for my costly $350 30 minute appointment and the office refused and said they would be given to me at my appointment. I feel sorry for anyone who steps foot in this office. Be prepared to waist many thousands of dollars and leave disappointed.

My daughter who is 18 was misdiagnosed by Marin natural medicine No blood tests just " intuitive medicine". I spent over $1000 on iv 's, her appointment and herbal products that were recommended. Two days after starting the herbs, she had a gallbladder attack. She said the herbs were making her feel worse. A week later she was properly diagnosed by a different doctor.
We were told by later by their doctor not to use the herbs we purchased from them as she realized she gave us the wrong supplements. I asked for a refund for the herbs. The office said no way. I did not select the herbs myself. The doctor told me they were going to be helpful. A week later the doctor said don't take these herbs as she heard my daughter was diagnosed with a gallbladder issue.
The office staff was incredibly rude and disrespectful, especially the office manager Amber. I would never go back to Marin Natural medicine. I never write reviews for bad business but decided to this time because I feel taken advantage of. When I told the office manager Amber I was going to write a poor review she said no problem, we always get bad reviews taken down anyways.
Then she said we're not allowed to come back to her clinic. And they will dischargee her. I am assuming so they can discredit this review, as I told them I was going to write a negative review. I would've never taken my daughter back to the clinic anyways. I found the whole experience very disturbing and highly unprofessional. Amber the office manager was incredibly rude and unkind.

IF you want help right away: Dr. Todd Maderis is a phenomenal resource for cutting edge treatment on all things related to LYME disease. He saved the quality of my life. He and his staff are very warm and easy to work with; I have seen many practitioners and he is the first doctor who really helped me. I was not sure I could work as I was so ill, and within a month I was feeling almost like my younger self without Lyme disease.

I came for treatment of menopause with bioidentical hormones, which she said she does. I got zero help with that. No prescription after 4 visits. Instead, she wanted to sell me a lot of expensive supplements to treat other issues and to have me come in for osteopathic treatments. When I told her that one gave me horrible side effects, she seemed to not believe me and gave me no help overcoming it.
I lost two weeks of my life recovering from it. She didn't seem interested in what I've tried before (including osteopathic treatments from 3 others). Also, there is an email system but no nurse in the office. Any question that I've asked over email was replied, make another appointment to discuss - even when issues were urgent and related to something sold to me by her. She seems like she cares. It may have just been me. The setup at this office though doesn't seem to be patient focused but $$$$$ focused.

When I was reviewing the best decisions I've made over 2017 the first thing that came to mind was going to Dr. Jacqueline Chan as a patient. I had been struggling with EBV Type Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for over six months after a case of mononucleosis. As you know the prognosis for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is dismal. I was sleeping 14 hours a day and had to cut my work back to half time and had no social life because I was sleeping all the time and had no energy.
It was even painful to ride in the car because it was overstimulating. After three months on her regimen I got back to BETTER than full strength! I have used Dr. Chan several years ago as well and again she got me feeling the best I ever felt in my life: outstanding energy, tranquility, amazing mental stability. I would recommend Dr. Chan anyone who wants to have the best life possible!

I feel blessed to have found Dr. Jacqueline Chan. She is an incredible healer, doctor and practitioner. She truly is a complimentary doctor, in that she is extremely well versed in medical and osteopathy, yet extremely well versed and experienced with natural, alternative healing techniques also. She treats via osteopathic adjustments, cranial sacral, breathing, stress reduction, nutritional supplements, diet, and lifestyle modifications.
She even taught be a new QiGong exercise that I had never new, even though I have been praticing QiGong and Taiji on and off for 5 years. She did a thorough patient intake with me that included my diet, my lifestyle, my blood work up and my stress levels. She customized a treatment plan that had great results, including I now have MUCH better sleep.
She is a caring, sensitive and brilliant doctor, healer and person, and I give her a big thumbs up. A link to read more about her is at: http://marinnaturalmedicine.com/practitioners/drchan.html She has recently moved to a new office, and practises at the Marin Natural Medicine Clinic, 265 Magnolia Ave, Suite 201, Larkspur, CA 94939. The telephone number there is: 415-945-3213

Dr Chan is an extraordinary practitioner, I have never worked with anyone with access to such a broad range of healing modalities; her knowledge of each is deep and she intuitively knows when to use the many tools at her disposal. She is firmly based in science; watching her read blood work is like watching a master chef. She goes through each result describing the meaning of each one, how it relates to all the other levels and, if required, what to do to correct it.
And she also uses her powerful intuition to actively heal both the physical and emotional body, through energy treatments, muscle testing that identifies a proper herb or medication to be used, or her other tools and potions. It is clear that she is constantly learning and seeking out new treatment options for her patients. She is a committed and skilled healer.

I have been seeing Dr. Chan for about 6 or 7 years now. She has been a tremendous help through the mis-adventure called Menopause. When I went to her I was at my wits end having tried many doctors and all kinds of therapies, including the hormone guru Uzzi Reiss in Beverly Hills. I ended up in her office in desperation, thinking that she could probably not help me either.
But I was so wrong. She listens carefully -- is empathatic, nonjudgemental, knowlegable, and innovative. Within a month or so I was feeling better and soon back in charge of my life. My energy went up. I was less foggy. I felt so much better. To me she is a miracle worker. I also like that she treats patients with the most natural form of medication/treatments first. Run, don't walk to make an appointment: I highly recommend Dr. Chan to anyone, but especially women of any age dealing with hormone-related issues. She can be reached at Marin Natural Medicine in Larkspur -- 415-945-3213
