The Digestive Detective And Symptom Sleuth You've Been Searching For
Dr. Madelein Shafferman
Naturopathic Medical Doctor,GI Health & Women's Hormones
Walk me through your story; what’s holding you back from living life? Getting to know you as an individual and listening to your health concerns and goals, will allow me to create a treatment plan that best suits your needs and allows the body to do the rest.
Diving deep into the history, investigating the culprits at play, and naming the problem is necessary so we can get to work on fixing it at its deepest level.
Whether you’ve been on a long health journey, or just began to seek answers, I hope to serve as both your doctor and a resource to answer your questions. I look forward to hearing your story, so together we can identify and treat the cause of your ailment.
Dr. Melissa Van Buren
What has your health journey looked like so far — and where would you like it to go?
I approach every case like a mystery waiting to be solved. Finding the why behind your symptoms, connecting the dots, and uncovering the root cause is genuinely one of my greatest joys as a physician.
One of my favorite naturopathic tenets is docere — doctor as teacher. I believe that when patients truly understand the why and how behind their treatment plan, they are far more engaged and far more successful in their healing journey. Educating and empowering you is just as important to me as the plan itself.
The body is truly miraculous in its ability to heal and autocorrect — often all it needs is for us to identify and remove the barriers standing in its way and provide the right support.
I want you to have the audacity to dream of a level of health that may have once seemed out of reach. A vitality you may have been told wasn't possible. Together we will investigate, build a clear picture, and create a path forward that is uniquely yours — one that makes that vision a reality.
I look forward to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you toward the health you deserve.
