DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY! I have SIBO with constipation and for 5 months she has not help find exact root cause, nor herbal treatment and no herbal laxatives to help me. I was always left with so many questions after each video visit to the point that she was onky answering what she wanted and later when i became more vocal of lack of treatment, she told me ti get help elsewhere!
She claimed she was going to help me find a GI doctor that can prescribe the antibiotics that she says would help, but nothing. I kept losing weight as i couldn't eat too many foods. I left so disappointed and mad that i wasted so much time and money for nothing! Very unprofessional and not nearly as knowledgeable as she claims to be. Stay away!

This review was sent a while back on another platform- I believe Zocdoc- that seems to have since been refreshed. So here we go again. Dr. Kuzniar is probably best seen for cosmetic concerns, perhaps for acne or weight issues. Please think carefully prior to seeing for any acute medical issues! If you are in need of medical attention for pressing medical needs - gastrointestinal matters or otherwise- I would not recommend. Tests results were released upon the doctor's timetable (and whim?) not this patient's needs.
So I was unable to coordinate and share already processed but not yet released (?) test results with my allopathic physician and gastroenterologist. Said GI finally healed me from what had been an acute case of Crones disease brought about by a virulent stomach virus.) While working with Dr K she explicitly demanded a minimum of texting and no calls between the two weeks time table for meetings she had set.
Her office manager was profoundly curt and remote- grudgingly answering even the most necessary of questions. All involved seemed annoyed to be interfacing with "needy" patients. LK was seemingly knowledgeable and pleasant enough in the first meeting- but her patience wore thin quickly. Had I continued to rely on Dr. K at such a critical juncture I would have been in serious trouble.
The gastroenterologist who eventually healed me and who, incidentally, teaches at Weil Cornell WAS willing to field calls and answer questions. Fortunately I found him in time.

Dr. Kuzniar solved an issue with my digestive tract that I didn't even realize I had and has truly changed my life. I no longer experience upsetting occurrences of diarrhea and/or constipation which I thought were my norm. I had been to a gastroenterologist who did not help me, and certainly, none of my regular physicians thought I had a problem. Dr. Kuzniar had me do a breath test and based on the results, prescribed pills from a vitamin store that I had to take for 30 days.
The change in my digestive tract did not happen immediately upon finishing the pills, but within a few months of finishing them, I realized I was in a new state of well being. I will be forever grateful to this kind, knowledgeable and caring doctor.

Despite the amazing reviews Dr. Kuzniar has, I have to say I had the worst experience with her! About a year ago I was diagnosed with PCOS by my gynecologist and wanted to try a natural treatment, that's when I found Dr. Kuzniar. First, she said she wasn't convinced I had PCOS (even after showing her all my blood work, ultrasound and my doctors diagnosis). Second, she put me into different supplements and herbs for the past year and I really thought I was being treated properly. However, my symptoms never went away and in every follow up visit I used to complain about the same things.
One year later, I did another ultrasound and found out that my case has gotten much worse and that I always had PCOS. Not to mention all the money I've spent throughout the year on the follow up visits, supplements, etc. All she wants is you to come in as much as possible so she can make a lot of money. Yes, she seems very knowledgeable and smart, but she is neither, she's fake! Do yourself a favor and find a better doctor that truly cares about your health!

This review is long over due. I came to Dr Kuzniar in my early 20's battling fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. After seeing dozens of doctors that only wanted to put me on antidepressants to "solve" my problems, my mother brought here. Dr Kuzniar sat with me for hours, asking thorough questions, reviewing extensive blood work labs, and most importantly- she listened to me.
She believed me. She said that she understood, and had treated people with my illness before. She was the first doctor to give it a name, and make a plan. It was a long road back, and she helped me every step of the way. I live in New York City which makes it hard to get to the office easily, but Dr Kuzniar made herself available to me both by phone and email. She's always quick to respond, and always has the answers.
I went from being practically bed ridden in pain and fatigue, to someone who practices yoga 5/6 times a week, and is extremely active. I highly recommend Dr Kuzniar, she is truly a healer.

I made an appointment with Dr. Kuzniar after my MD was ignored my repeated concerns about my recurrent sinus infections. No doctor ad ever taken the time to sit with me and to ask questions that would help get to the root of my problems.then I met Dr. Kuzniar. At first, I was reluctant to make an appointment because naturopathic doctors in New Jersey are unfortunately unable to accept insurance.
I was so fed up with feeling sick and tired all of the time that I decided to take a chance and make an appointment, and I'm SO glad that I did! I had done research on natural remedies for sinus infections, but I was overwhelmed by the quantity of information on the internet and unsure about what advice to take from friends. Dr. Kuzniar uses current scientific research in order to give the most accurate and useful advice to her patients.
I haven't had any sinus infections since going to see her! I also had a skin problem and I had seen a dermatologist SIX TIMES about it. My problem got progressively worse. I mentioned it to Dr. Kuzniar and she suggested a simple cream that I purchased off of Amazon. Within 1 month, my skin condition was 100% clear! I can't make this up! What I like best about Dr. Kuzniar's approach to holistic medicine is that she will tailor her advice to YOUR specific needs--she won't ever push you to do anything that you're not comfortable with or tell you to do something that you're not ready for. She's laid back, practical, and most of all, kind. She WANTS you to feel better and she will research and do whatever she can to help you get on the path to feeling whole.

My appointment with with Dr. Kuzniar was my first experience with a naturopathic doctor. Having been trained as a registered nurse in traditional medicine, I was a bit skeptical of how she would be able to help me. However, I was willing to give it a try and I am glad I did. I had been having abnormal papsmears since 2011 and there was concern that this could eventually turn into cervical cancer.
This was troubling because I was visiting my gyno every 4 months and it was emotionally stressful. Dr. Kuzniar sat with me and dissected my every day habits as it related to my sleep patterns, my diet, lifestyle, and life stressors. We spoke for 2 hours and she wrote out an effective plan of care for me to follow and also prescribed natural high dose vitamins.
She also gave me tips on how to incorporate these changes into my life. After completing my naturopathic treatment, my lab results came back completely normal (after many years of abnormal). The power of natural medicine and food is life changing. More importantly, the lifestyle modifications recommended by Dr. Kuzniar continue to be applicable in order to continue on the path of wellness. I highly recommend Dr. Kuzniar!

My personal health issues were discussed for 2 hours upon my first visit. Dr. Kuzniar listens, provides great advice, and wants to speak to your personal wellness goals. Everything that she has asked me to do, take, or continue has been life changing for me so far. Conventional medicine wasn't meeting my hopes or expectations. I can speak volumes to how much Dr. Kuzniar has helped me. I highly recommend a visit.

Dr Leat Kuzniar is an AMAZING NP who has endless genuine concern for for my total wellness and I would sincerely recommend her! She was able to "think OUTSIDE THE BOX" when several allopathic MD's over a three year search from University of Penn, Cornell, Harvard docs could NOT come up with the accurate diagnosis! With her skilled insightful background in biology and chemistry she was able to look at my allopathic lab results like a genius!
It is because of her guidance and protocol I am finally able to deal and embrace menopause and work closely with her for my continued natural healing! I could go on and on with specifics. But what speaks higher volumes is that my intention for this New Year is to have my adult children and husband also get under her " amazing professional natural wellness care"! ( oops also my future daughter in law!) Her Homeopathic background is an added bonus!
