Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive system of health care, which blends centuries-old knowledge of natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in the understanding of health and human systems. Naturopathic treatments are effective in treating a wide variety of conditions. Fatigue, trouble sleeping, aches and pains, skin rashes, indigestion or stomach discomforts are all symptoms of an underlying cause. Rather than just suppressing symptoms, our goal is to identify the underlying cause of illness and support the body's natural healing process.
Dr. Nguyen treats people of all ages with acute and chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic fatigue, skin conditions, pain, digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases and more. Whether your focus is on creating a healthy lifestyle, alleviating or preventing ailments, preparing for a healthy pregnancy, optimizing your energy or performance, or seeking optimal health through natural remedies, Dr. Nguyen can offer you health care solutions to fit your needs.
There is no doubt that what we eat affects our health. Changes in gut health can occur after illness, chronic stress, and infection. Natural medicine can support optimal gut function and address the symptoms of poor gut health, like constipation, gas and bloating, food sensitivities, acid reflux, and irritable bowel disease.
Fatigue can be due to hormone imbalances, chronic illness, poor nutrition, stress, poor sleep, toxic exposures, and a decline in hormones. Don't accept fatigue as a natural part of aging. Fatigue is just a symptom of an imbalance in the body. If your labs "look" normal but you don't feel good, then a holistic comprehensive evaluation is needed.

I have been seeing Dr. Nguyen for over three years now and she always listens and works to get to the bottom of what is causing the issue. Often times I have found Western medicine does not always listen to what the patient is saying. She has run tests that traditional medicine wont and has found and treated me holistically to bring the whole body back into balance and is not afraid to think outside the box. Sometimes with acupuncture and sometimes with medicine- whatever might be needed at the time. I would highly recommend her services.

I went in for 3 different issues and 2 are under control already thanks to her treatment plan. Food is medicine so you must do your part also. Acupuncture helped my hip pain by that evening! I've been going up and down the stairs and able to sit and not have pain. Blood pressures are normal with her recommendations and careful diet plan. She listens and then comes up with a treatment plan for you. Highly recommend her!

Following a recent injury on my right shoulder/arm, I went to Dr. Nguyen and received several injections and acupuncture treatments to relieve the strong pain that I had. Very quickly I started noticing significant reduction in the pain level and I was able to move my arm with little pain. I highly appreciate the attention and dedication of Dr. Nguyen and the fast diagnosis that resulted in a quick improvement of my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen's services to anyone seeking an alternative, more natural, way of approaching health-related treatments.

Dr Nguyen has been working with me to keep my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis in check. She's thoughtful, listens, and does a whole bunch of labs so that we know a good part of the story of what is actually happening. Her bedside manner is always very pleasant and kind. Despite her busy life, she genuinely listens and cares. I very much appreciate that.

Dr Nguyen is the 3rd naturopath I visited on island and the one that I stuck with for several years. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and competent, she balances that with a very patient and comforting bedside manner. She definitely treated me as a partner in my own healthcare and always provided various options for treatment and was very mindful of cost.

She assisted me in managing several separate health issues, and I was very comfortable and confident about her care during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I am thankful to have worked with her to improve my health.

Alysa is a thoughtful and thorough professional. She was able to help me rehab a bad ankle, allowing me to avoid heavy meds or surgery. I've been pain free for 2 years now. I would definitely use her again for any sport-related injuries in the future.

I had been struggling with a "hormone imbalance" for 20 years. Doctors never took the time to find out what was wrong and always resorted to medication. I found Dr. Nguyen on Yelp to see if she could help me with my hormone imbalance. Blood tests showed that my hormones were perfectly fine but my body was struggling with inflammation. With a change of diet, acupuncture, and an herbal formula. I've never felt better! Dr. Nguyen is truly a blessing.

She listened to my concerns and worked with me every step of the way. And I never thought everything would work so quickly! Progress within the first month of treatment! I'd highly recommend Dr Nguyen for anyone looking for a second opinion (like me) or just looking to be a healthier you.

Dr Alysa is a great Naturopathic doctor. I had some big issues with my shoulder and lower back with a lot of pain for over 6 months. After several treatments I started to feel much better. I am really happy with the results. Highly recommended.

I had never been to a Naturopathic Physician before. I knew I wanted to try an alternative to the usual western medical practice, because I had been having gastrointestinal distress for over a year and nothing was showing up from laboratory and laparascopic studies; so the gastrointestinal physician kind of dismissed my symptoms as nothing serious. But, I felt miserable!

I found Dr. Nguyen on the internet via highly positive recommendations. My own experience is I find Dr. Nguyen to be a very thorough, caring, and reason-based practitioner. I found benefit learning the root of my gastrointestinal distress and unpleasant symptoms as an inflammatory process. I responded to her treatment, diet and acupuncture. I feel really well now. I am also motivated to continue to eat more healthfully. I highly recommend care by Dr. Nguyen!

Dr Alyssa has given me my life back! I have suffered from constant digestive problems almost my entire life. Constipation, irritability, fogginess, bloated to the point of having a belly as big as if was pregnant, constant tiredness and lack of will or initiative to do anything. With her wisdom, patience and amazing focus on detail she was able, in such a short period of time, to prescribe me with supplements and acupuncture treatment that showed me immediate results and was able to solve issues that I had had for a long time.

Another thing she has helped me with is Post partum depression which I had not realized I had and have lasted for more than 4 years. She is very caring and will not push you to buy supplements or do tests unless you really need them. You can tell when you talk to her, the level of compassion and care she has for her patients. I always look forward to see her for accupuncture sessions and talk to her about the improvement I see in my body, mind and soul. Thank you Dr. Alyssa! My family and I love you so much and the rest of my family can't wait to make an appointment with you! Janina

I went to Dr Alysa with severe knee pain that wouldn't go away even weeks after stopping exercising. She was able to diagnose my problem without running expensive tests and treated me on the spot with acupuncture and a special injection. My pain decreased immediately after the treatment and disappeared the next day. She not only treated my knee but she also gave me a treatment and supplements to increase my energy level which was a huge plus. Dr Alysa is great and affordable I will definitely be back for more treatments if needed.

I am an herbal supplement junkie. I have a high stress job and it really helps me cope. But after one acupuncture treatment with Dr. Nguyen, I felt better, more uplifted & rejuvenated than any amount of supplements ever have made me feel. She is an intuitive doctor and really takes the time to listen to all the subtle signs that an average doctor or acupuncturist would miss. I highly recommend giving her treatments a chance.

I consulted with Alysa about addressing my Restless Leg Syndrome symptoms through homeopathic methods. Alysa spent a lot of time with me on gathering initial information about my health and habits. I am a retired health care social worker and I was impressed with her thoroughness and thoughtfulness in the initial interview. We went over treatments options and I selected what made sense for me. Three months later, I am more relaxed and getting better sleep without the need of continuing treatments. Thank you, Alysa!

Dr. Alysa Nguyen is so awesome! She really took the time to understand my problem thoroughly and came up with a solution that worked. I had been suffering from a chronic condition for years and several other doctors were unable to help. I am so thankful for Dr. Nguyen and her medical expertise. She is a great listener and really cares about her patients. I would recommend her to anyone :

I started to see Dr. Nguyen because i was having issues with hormone balancing. She gave me around 4 different "medicines" to take but I didn't really responded to any of them. So on that part, I didn't get much help. I also received accupunture which I believe she is talented in. It was nice to get accupunture and I feel like it assisted me but didn't rid me of my issues.

She is a very nice, sweet and calm lady. She really listens to you and wants to help. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't get the treatment I needed. I think I have a more complex case though.

Tim G. clearly has no idea that "psycho-therapy" is often a component of an integrative approach that only the best practitioners employ. (My chiropractor does it too, even though I am seeing him for whiplash sustained as the result of a car accident.) That being said, Dr. Nguyen is a gifted healer, who genuinely cares about her patients. I have a thyroid/auto-immune disorder that we have patiently been working on for the last 6 months. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's outside the spectrum of "traditional medicine, " but we are seeking to end a war my body has waged against itself for the last 20 years. Wellness doesn't happen overnight. It's not a magic pill that Big Pharma wants you to take. (I already went that route for 20 years.) It takes determined perseverance, and that is what I have found with Dr. Nguyen - a practitioner who listens to my symptoms, not just the black and white lab results, and takes my unique experience into account.

I finally feel like I have an ally in my struggles as opposed to a doctor patting me on the head and telling me I should feel fine. We're not out of the woods yet, but I am confident I found the right partner to lead me on that journey.

I rarely write negative reviews on Yelp. As a small business owner myself, I find it hard to really go negative unless it's warranted. Which brings me to my experience with Dr. Nguyen.a few years ago, I was having problems with always being tired. Being a great believer in homeopathic and naturopathic health, I looked up Dr. Nguyen and made an appointment.

What a mistake! Shortly after I arrived, Dr. Nguyen ran some tests. This is to be expected. But then it got weird.really weird. She started to ask me about my relationship with my parents. I felt like I was being psycho-analyzed when all I had was a problem getting enough sleep. I felt really creeped out when I left and vowed never to go back. The kicker.all this psycho-analyzation wasn't cheap.

A complete waste of money. Further, it took going to a homeopath who knew what he was doing to fix the problem.which, weirdly enough, had nothing to do with possible parental issues.

Dr. Alysa is awesome! She's been so helpful in treating numerous physical problems I've had in the past year. She takes the time to really do a complete physical and go over lab results. She has given me accupuncture, cupping and even massage treatments and has also recommended natural vitamins and herbs. Every time I left her office I felt better and very relaxed! Thanks Dr. Alysa
