Boulder Holistic Functional Medicine — Attraction in Boulder

Dr. Fox listens, which is huge with health issues that are complex and longstanding. Where other doctors quickly wrote off symptoms to depression or stress, Dr. Fox has helped bring causes to light and restore balance in my body. After listening, she tests, evaluates, supports my system in all ways possible, retests and then patiently continues to deal with the various insults and unwind the impacts on my body. Dr. Fox takes time. I’m never cut off or hurried by Dr. Fox. I’ve never felt a sense of irritation or impatience from her in going over all of the many aspects of my health situation. This gives me a feeling of validation, support, and the hope and encouragement that I will continue to improve. Dr. Fox is effective. I’ve dealt with chronic illness for many years. I’ve gained more improvement systemically in the year and a half I have been under Dr. Fox’s care than under any other practitioner. She keeps all systems in mind and treats all aspects concurrently, and the result for me has been a gradual improvement in all areas of my functioning. Dr. Fox is responsive. She has always responded to questions I have after appointments about protocols or issues that come up between appointments. As with all medical facilities, this sometimes takes a few days. I assume Dr. Fox has other patients, and also a life of her own, so I understand this. Dr. Fox is credible. Dr. Fox points me to books and other resources to read and learn and be able to advocate for myself in this maze of chronic health problems. Her methods have been substantiated by many leading MDs (and their research) who are successfully treating very complicated long-term illnesses. Dr. Fox is holistic. I appreciate the approach of treating the body from a holistic and as natural as possible way. Rounding out the experience at Boulder Holistic, the front desk staff are always responsive, friendly, patient, service-oriented and kind. If you are new to integrative functional medicine, here are some things to expect – these are all worth the end result to me): • It can be quite costly. It is not conventional. The much longer (but needed) appointment times, tests, diagnostics, nutritional support and remedies used go so far beyond what conventional MDs are trained in or often accept due to their lack of holistic/integrative/alternative training. This kind of care must be very personalized and cannot be standardized, and therefore is not part of insurance protocols and is generally dismissed by insurance companies. Short-cutting the expensive diagnostics. • Necessary supplements are expensive (but effective...

It is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Fox has turned my life around. She is an absolutely brilliant, out of the box thinker. I knew from reading reviews that she was going to be compassionate and a great listener- but I didn’t expect such a drastic change in my health so quickly. I went from debilitating symptoms and no hope of healing, to signing up for a half marathon and being able to enjoy life again within 3 months.

I won’t bore you guys with the list of doctors I’ve seen throughout the last 10 years of being sick, but let’s just say I was a little jaded by the time I found Dr. Fox. I didn’t believe getting better was an option, but I was so desperate to keep trying.

She has completely changed my view on functional medicine and what is possible. Every single aspect of her care plan has been methodical and different from any other naturopath, MD, etc. that I’ve seen. She is cutting edge and knows how to work with highly sensitive patients.

She goes above and beyond, and I can tell that’s for every patient because it’s simply who she is. Yes, it’s ‘pricey’ but it’s worth every single penny I’ve spent to feel this good.

Lastly, special shoutout to the front desk team who have been incredibly helpful and attentive as I’ve gotten adjusted to a new care team. Thank you Boulder Holistic...

This clinic is located in an older medical complex located on a subterranean level. The building has MOLD! Upon entering the reception area, I experienced a strong clove scent from an essential oil diffuser on the receptionist’s desk, used to mask the musty odor in their clinic.

Do NOT schedule an in-person appointment at this location if you have been diagnosed with mold illness or are being treated for mold eradication.

I am unable to share a review of the medical providers as I had to cancel my new patient appointment based on the moldy conditions.

Standard protocol in holistic clinics is to provide a fragrance-free environment as many patients with mold illness also have challenges with MCAS and/or MCS. It’s surprising that these doctors are not aware of this.

The office staff was supportive and cancelled my appointment without charging me a cancellation fee. They did mention that when they arrive to work on Monday mornings that they “air out their offices because of the musty smell.”

For a clinic that charges $600 per hour to treat mold illness, patients should expect a safe, mold-free environment in which...
