Testimonials From Patients
LeAnn T. “Laura made me feel supported, cared about, listened to….”
I approached Laura Dankof because I was dealing with an undiagnosed hormonal issue and a gut infection. Honestly, I had a complete workup done by a well-known hospital and they were not able to find anything and left me feeling like it was all in my head and told me stay on the PILL and not to change anything! I had a substantial weight gain that I could not get rid of despite eating healthy and exercising. My hair was falling out, I was not sleeping, I felt sluggish, tired, angry, and sick! I was a mess.
Laura had helped me by diagnosing exactly what was wrong with me. I had estrogen dominance and a gut infection. The first thing she told me was to get off the pill!!!! She gave me a specific plan that was tailored to me individually and I really felt like she was listening to what I was telling her. I was not a number or “that complaining patient” or “it’s all in her had patient”. She looked at the root cause of my illness and was able to put me on a path to reclaim my health! I can not express the impact this has had on me. After doing western medicine for 20 years with the same response of “that’s all we can do for you”, I have finally found a practitioner that got to the root of my illness!! It really is life changing!!!!!
Laura made me feel supported, cared about, listened to, and gave me all the tools I needed to take care of myself holistically. I feel empowered and excited about my health!!
Laura provided me with everything I needed to help my body heal from information about my hormonal issues to resources to better medication/supplement that supported my body.
I am most grateful for begin able to work with Laura Dankof because her knowledge is extensive, and she is a top-notch practitioner. I cannot express enough that if you are a woman and feel your hormones may be out of balance, make an appointment with Laura, she will help you!!! I am a BSN RN that has worked in medicine for the last 10 years and she is the first practitioner that looked at the root cause of my illness and has been able to help heal my body rather than slap a band aid on it and hope that it helps!!!
Jolene W. “My sister spoke highly of Laura and recommended I schedule an appointment with her, and I’m so glad I did!”
I approached Laura when I was having an array of symptoms and medical problems. I had seen countless Doctors, Specialists, and even some Naturopathic physicians. I had been through a couple of hospitalizations and misdiagnoses, and had been put on medications that were doing more harm than good. I was struggling with my health and after everything I had been through, I found it difficult to trust healthcare providers altogether.
My sister spoke highly of Laura and recommended I schedule an appointment with her, and I’m so glad I did! Laura took the time to thoroughly listen to my story. She recommended testing that would give her further information to help find the root cause of my symptoms, instead of jumping to conclusions. Laura was easy to trust because she listened to my concerns, and put care and thought into the medications/supplements she prescribed (for example, she helped me find a supplement that helped enormously with gallbladder pain). She has a great understanding of Autoimmune Disease, and has provided helpful resources related to my complex medical issues.
I’m so appreciative of the help and support I’ve received and continue to receive from Laura; she is extremely compassionate and easy to work with. Most of all, I am grateful for all of her hard work in helping me work towards healing! Thank You.
Teri. “Laura Dankof is your #1 choice!”
If you are looking for a medical partner that really listens, then Laura Dankof is your #1 choice. I have never felt rushed and she asks good questions to help get to the bottom of my issue. She discussed alternative ideas and I’m happy with what treatment techniques we landed on. I am made to feel comfortable, where I can share information that was never able to share with other medical practitioners, and didn’t feel judged. Five stars out of five!
