I am so thankful for Dr. Hayduk! Her recommendations for alternative methods and supplements have helped my illnesses. I was in pain everyday for months and after seeing Dr. Hayduk, and within a week or so of following her recommendations, my pains have subsided. It's been 3 months now and I'm still doing great.

After years of searching for solutions for my skin health, Dr. Hayduk was the doctor that finally figured out what was going on and how to get it too feel better. It did take some time to get to this point, but I have not needed any steroid cream in months! In fact, my friends tell me that I look younger and how amazing my skin appears. I've struggled for years with awful red, flaky itchy skin all over my body and horrible embarrassment from it.
It prevented me from dating and feeling like a normal woman. Now, I'm engaged and thriving in all areas of my life. Dr. Hayduk has helped every aspect of my health improve and I still have some work to do and I'll get there. I highly recommend Dr. Hayduk. Her office is small, cozy and welcoming. I find her staff to be friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable with all of my concerns and questions.

Dr. Hayduk has always been there for my daughters and I. Things that I've had going on that I thought were so weird, she was able to assess and give me really sound advice that has really worked on multiple occasions. She is incredibly nice and you can tell that she really cares about you. Something that is not often felt from PCP's. She is a doctor that ACTUALLY listens and doesn't make you feel like your imagining things. I would recommend for anyone who really wants a doctor who will listen and work with you to go to Dr. Hayduk.

Update: 5/23/20, I continue to see Dr. Hayduk and follow her instructions. Update: 4/14/18, Dr Hayduk continues to provide me with fantastic care! We all age, and with that comes health changes. Dr. Hayduk evaluates my blood results and modifies my nutritional care as the changes occur. I've become consistent with taking my supplements and vitamins, so my results are GREAT!.
I continue to highly recommend Dr. Hayduk to all my friends and co-workers! Dr. Hayduk's approach was new to me. She wanted to know what brought me to see her, a naturopath, but just as importantly, to describe my health history. I felt comfortable talking about all of my efforts to lose weight, not embarrassed. I wasn't pressured to take the latest miracle drug like my primary care doctor is want to do. Dr. Hayduk prescribed nutritional supplements based on blood work showing, in black and white, where I was nutritionally deficient. Adding this to my exercise and diet regime was remarkable. I recommend her to all of my friends and family.

Dr. Hayduk is by far the best doctor I know of for young ladies with female issues. She takes her time, and moreover, she listens. I have been dealing with GYN's for my daughter for years, giving her artificial hormones for her period stimulation until enough was enough. In one visit, Dr. Hayduk, diagnosed my daughter after looking at her labs, and talking with us extensively. We finally have our daughter back, and that is worth a world of gold to us. We can not thank you enough, Laura and Ellia H.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I began to look for a way to fight the disease without causing myself more sickness. I was introduced to Naturopathy by a friend who had been through the same thing 2 years ago, but who lives on the west coast. I looked for a Naturopath a bit closer to me and was blessed to have accidentally found Dr. Hayduk. It was truly divine intervention.
I found her to be kind, patient, attentive, pleasant, funny, available, and sensitive to my needs. But most of all, she is very knowledgeable and was willing to work with me within my personal quirkinesses. I felt like I had known her all my life the first time I met her and was very confident she could help me through the chemo and radiation. She did not disappoint!
And she continues to guide me along the path of improved health and prevention of recurrence without all the side effects of conventional medicine. Dr. Hayduk's skills are the answer to my prayers and her super personality is the icing on the cake. She was--and continues to be--a blessing in my life for which I am eternally grateful every day.

Dr. Hayduk spent so much time listening to me and helping me get my life back, the appointments just fly by, she's easy to talk too. I had horrible skin and gut problems and really wanted a baby. Birth control pills were all that were offered to me to fix my skin and it only made it worse. Dr. Hayduk did not judge me on my lifestyle and created a plan that worked and that I could do.
Yes the forms are long but the more she can learn about you and your life, the more effective the plan will be. She's always there when I have a question and her office staff is amazingly kind. A truly unique medical experience that everyone should enjoy. It really wasn't that hard to do either.

I had two excellent experiences with Dr. Hayduk. Once I brought my daughter to her and another time I went for myself. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. I had tried a different naturopath, who was terrible, but I still wanted to try a natural method and I am so glad that I found Dr. Hayduk. Both my daughter and I wanted to avoid medications with serious side effects and we had great results with Dr. Hayduk's guidance. For both of us, our problems (which were totally different) completely went away. She is very personable and responsive. I highly recommend her!

I have been seeing Dr. Hayduk as my naturopathic physician since 2007. When I first started seeing her it was over GI issues for which traditional GI doctors just wanted to put me on medication to solve. I prefer more holistic approaches and using prescriptions as last resort. When I met Dr. Hayduk and she looked at my lab results, she immediately felt like I had food sensitivities.
She had me take a food sensitivity test which had MANY things listed. I avoided those foods for 3 months and my symptoms gradually resolved. I have colitis so at times thru the years the symptoms returned but Dr. Hayduk is always there to provide me with sound counseling and a well grounded opinion. She's always helped me with any medical issue that crops up.
She knows A LOT. I would recommend being prepared with your list of questions when you meet with her the first time because you want to have your expectations met and that's a good way to accomplish that. Dr. Hayduk is also very kind and has a great sense of humor - which is needed at times for someone like me who takes myself way too seriously - and she knows it! :) Seeing Dr. Hayduk is one of the best things you can do if you're looking for natural approaches to healing and overall health maintenance.
I seriously think it would be hard to stump her - she's a wealth of knowledge and I've been really blessed to have someone as caring and wonderful as Dr. Hayduk in my health corner all these years.

I love Dr. Hayduk! She was the only doctor that could figure out what was wrong with me. She's so easy to work with and takes a lot of time to explain things. Dr. Hayduk is patient and funny with how she explains complicated medical things. Her office staff is friendly and excellent. Very attentive to my needs and both Dr. Hayduk and her staff treat me like I am Dr. Hayduk's only patient.
I feel like a part of her family when I am here. I know I am in good and capable hands and have brought many of family members to see her and always refer her to my friends and neighbors.

(I was) initially diagnosed with hypothyroidism by an out-of-state clinic, I started searching for someone more local who could help me with my thyroid as well as infertility. With much prayer and by following Dr. Veronica's advice and suggestions to help with these things, my husband and I are now excitedly expecting our first child! I am also very grateful for her encouraging words and quick responses to my questions.
She always seems ready to help, even though she has other patients to help and a life of her own to enjoy. It's comforting to have someone like her to refer to, since traditional doctors are not as accessible to their patients.

Dear Dr. Hayduk, After thirty plus years of spending thousands of dollars on doctors and medication trying to heal my dermatitis with no results, you are a God -send. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What a difference you have made in my life. I can now shake hands without fear of people thinking they might catch it. My feet are also completely cured.
The blisters, peeling, bleeding, itching and oozing all gone and in such a short time. You really know your stuff! If only I had known of naturopathic medicine before wasting so much time and money. Thank you again and again and again!
