What patients say about Dr. Schwartz

Five-star reviews on Google that mention Dr. Schwartz.

Dr Schwartz was able to diagnose my problem in the first session. (I had been to doctors for 15 + years with no success) she told me if I stuck to a plan to reverse it I would be cured in 3 months. She was right! I have seen her a few times since for check ups and I am always great! She is the best Naturopath and Dr. I have ever seen and I am so happy. She always listens so intensely and answers all my questions. I trust her completely. Now all my #'s for my blood markers are in optimal range. 😊💗

I just have to thank Dr. Badalamenti for her help on getting me well again. I have a history of Lyme, but ended up getting really sick from black mold exposure in my now former home.

A Nurse Practitioner prescribed ciprofloxacin to me for what we thought was diverticulitis. It wasn't. The drug "floxed" me, causing a host of issues.

Dr. Badalamenti put me on the Cowden Protocol, along with IV ozone therapy. She recommended infrared saunas. I did them a couple days a week for a month. I took various supplements, but her recommended glutithione and binders really helped me turn the corner.

She then put me on an all natural testosterone supplement to boost my low testosterone.

I am almost back to 100%.

Dr. B, thank you. You saved my life. I wish you all the best and Congrats!

I had been to the same doctor for over 10 years. When I became very ill nothing was done. Not even the tests I requested. It turned out my doctor was never reading my lab results and never changed my thyroid meds. I was over medicated causing other issues in my body. I went to a thyroid specialist (while still in the investigation stage) and they never suggested reducing the dosage (But I did right way) and kept telling my I had some other auto immune disease. Short story is I started with Dr. Badalamenti and she did a full comprehensive review of my issues and went through a bunch of blood tests to rule things in or out. It was also my wish to do all of these. I had some other weird issues and she took the time to research and help develop a plan. Almost everything seems to be in balance now and I recommend her to everybody. This route is so much better than a traditional doctor that wants you in and out of their office inside of 10 min.

Dr Laura is the best! I have been seeing her for years and she's helped me with my hormones and my thyroid issues. I have much more energy now and I I don't have the brain fog anymore.

Dr Badalamenti aka Dr. B. Has been one of the only doctors to fully listen to me and actually believe what I had to say was a valid concern. Dr. B has helped and continues to help me in getting my body back on track.

In the last 4 yrs I have been told by multiple Dr's my fatigue was due to me being a "busy" mom and "stress." I was told my blood sugars were within "normal" ranges (family history of diabetes) and that my severe nerve pain was nothing to be concerned about. I was starting to believe I was in the wrong of how I felt.

Dr. B has helped me to uncover many underlying issues in the last year. All of which link back to the symptoms I was feeling and I finally am seeing progress and feel like I am getting answers.

Dr. B got my blood sugars in check and I lost 40 lbs because of it! and even though we are still in the process of improving the other symptoms, at this point I'm already feeling 1000x better than before.

EVNP has been amazing. So much so my husband, mother-in-law and mom all now go to this facility to see Dr. "B".

The staff is always friendly and is always accommodating. I am so thankful to have found this practice.

I am lucky to have Dr. Laura Badalamenti as my naturopathic doctor. When I started to have severe gut problems several years ago, it was Dr. B who got me to the right tests and treatment for parasites. After that when I had severe diarrhea and underwent numerous tests with my primary care doctor and then a specialist, they could not diagnose me. Dr. B and I tried several different approaches and finally found the right supplement and a diagnosis that the specialist had never even considered. Dr. B is the best!

I apologize for this delay.

I just want to share with you how Dr. Badalamenti helped me get my whole health back on track. In my late 50s and going through menopause is not fun. I knew my body was off balanced and I had to do something or I would struggle in my 60s. I decided to go see a Naturopathic doctor and the front office directed me to Dr. B. She’s an Angel sent to me!! I cannot say enough of how she has changed my life and don’t know what I’d do without her! She cares so much and I always look forward to seeing her! She helped balanced my body and lose weight! She gave me the tools and I used them to my advantage! When you have a doctor like her, you MUST listen, follow instructions and do what she says!! Because you don’t know everything, but she does!!! I thank God for her! My life has changed for the better and data has lined up like it should!! I love you Dr. B and appreciate every steps you’ve taken me for a better health journey and more! ~JoAnne

I have been going to East Valley Naturopathic Doctors for over 10 years. Recently we have been going through some health issues with my son and I wasn't able to find a doctor who would dig below the surface and invest time in figuring out what the root of the issue was. After just one appointment with Dr. Badalamenti I was blown away. Through blood work testing she was able to connect the dots and come up with a short and long term plan that included the combination of medication and natural supplements to help get my sons health back on track. I am forever grateful for her holistic approach!

I came to EVND after beginning a serious bout of anxiety and panic disorder. I was afraid of everything--standing for too long, driving, leaving the house... it was horrible. Dr. Badalamenti listened to my concerns and figured out all my problems are related to hormone imbalance. I also voiced concerns about my thyroid, and she got me a thyroid panel just to help put me at ease. It's been about a year now and I can function normally again. Amazing!
