Heart of Wellness - Tumwater (WA)

3 /5 Kathryn Kirkpatrick: I went in looking for a new Naturopath and had a lovely visit with Dr. Duncan. She was very professional, a great listener and knowledgeable on my questions and issues. Ultimately our views on health did not match and I was a bit taken aback by some of her philosophies as they dont seem to align with Naturopathy (in my opinion). This was a 1/2 point deduction. The remainder of the reason I gave a 3 star review was that I was initially charged as self-pay at the desk for my visit, which is what I was quoted over the phone. Later I was charged an additional $60 with no explanation after confirming that I paid in full at the office. So now I am paying for $60 more for no apparent reason. Which is odd.

5 /5 LD K: Dr. Attwood is wonderful. She listens and really takes the time to understand. Very helpful and friendly front desk staff. I’ve been going to Heart of Wellness for 10 years and am very satisfied with the care I’ve received.

5 /5 Lisa Lewis: Dr. Carpio literally saved my life. I was really ill. I had been to doctor after doctor after doctor. Nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. I was sick all the time; I was losing weight, but too much; I was in and out of the hospital; I didnt have enough energy to do basic activities; and I was slipping into depression because I was so dependent on others for everything. After my very first visit, I was feeling 90%. He gave my issues real thought. He didnt just try to throw medicine at me. He sat with me and walked me through his thought processes. I felt comfortable with his direction and treatments. He recommended small things that had big impacts. I was very impressed that he did not walk me to the front and tell me to buy the things he sold in office. His recommendations were based on my need, not his bottom line. I thought I was cured and finished my course of treatment. I gained the weight I needed back (and a little more because I was feeling so much better), but then I relapsed. I went in to see him again. He recommended two supplements. The day after starting those supplements, I was back to 100%. What I have will be with me my entire life, but I do not suffer from it anymore. Dr. Carpio empowered my body to fight it. I will be forever grateful for Dr. Carpio for putting patients over profit and giving me my life back.

5 /5 Brittni Vargas: So far my experiences have all been amazing here! Mary has been extra amazing!!!!! I had a Pap with her and I have never been treated with so much care and respect at a pap appointment before. She was very gentle, caring, took the time to explain things. Zero judgment! So much care! I, as a plus size women, felt so so cared for. Highly recommend! Glad I found her.

2 /5 Nikki M.: I love my doctor, but I dont love Heart of Wellness. My explanation is this: 1) I dont appreciate that I have to hold my credit card with them or be charged a $20 fee for processing a claim. 2) You must sign up for a "membership" at $100 a year (single). I continually get emails for classes I can sign up for etc, the holistic approach. Okay, I get it, but I dont want to join classes, dont feel it is necessary for my particular goals and do not have the time to devote to attending classes 60 miles away. This all seems like a money grab in the name of natural medicine.
