Raleigh Natural Wellness (formerly The Natural Medicine Center of Raleigh) — Attraction in Raleigh

Well!

I’ll give you the facts and then I’ll tell you what I think.

When you call to book an appointment, you’ll be directed to watch an orientation video that will review their wholistic approach to health. The video was very general and perfect for folks completely new to functional and naturopathic medicine.

Upon completion, you’ll be prompted to email the business to let them know you’ve watched the 20min video.

You’ll then be asked to sign up on their portal and emailed health questionnaires. Unfortunately, their system does not yet allow for virtual submissions. You’ll need to print them off and bring them to your first visit. I did not have access to a printer; they mailed me the documents to complete.

The consultation is under $100 and must be paid over the phone prior to the visit. This decreased fee is to allow for you and Dr. Kelly to see if her practice is a good fit.

The business itself is shared with a yoga studio. No worries! It does not smell like mystic sweat all up in the waiting room.

As for the consult, there’s mostly vague talk and getting you to feel comfortable. As someone who wanted detailed breakdown of treatment practices, this consultation was not particularly helpful to make a decision about fit, but is mandatory for all incoming patients/clients.

From my understanding, they have very recently switched from scheduled visits to a comprehensive program. To my knowledge, these program prices were not on their website.

One 6 month treatment package (including portal usage, supplements, health coaching, testing, her private cellphone number, doctors visits) was quoted at $7,395. They have financing available and offer 7.5% discount for folks who can pay in full.

Three stars reflect my 50/50 impression if their fit with my treatment goals. Best of luck finding a provider who works for you!

Note, Dr. Kelly is not legally allowed to prescribe in the state of NC. This includes antibiotics.

The vibe and business model...

Dr.Kelley, Diane, Amanda, and all the staff I encountered were all very friendly and professional and I had a great experience. They were definitely invested in making sure that I was successful in my 3-month plan that I participated in. To learn about them I went to a free dinner presentation at La Coquette in North Hills. It was delicious food and Dr. Kelly’s presentation resonated with me and the path I wanted to be on and I kind of knew some of what to do but knew I needed a little more help and guidance. Dr. Kelley and Diane were very helpful in guiding and directing me when I was unsure (although I probably didn’t take advantage of this as much as I could have! ... my own fault for thinking “I got this”). You are able to text or call anytime for help and they were usually very responsive. The tests were very informative and helpful in getting me and Dr. Kelley the information I needed to succeed. The progress meetings I attended were very helpful and convenient as you were able to do “visits” over the phone instead of having to go into the office if you so chose to do so. I learned a lot doing the elimination diet/ detox and plan to do it again on my own as it was very helpful in detoxing my body and helping me feel better and give me a nice clean slate. They are all about the proverb of “teaching a person to fish to feed themselves for a lifetime and not just giving a person a fish to eat once” so they can help themselves to live a healthier lifestyle and thrive instead of just survive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kelley and her program to anyone who wanted to live a healthier life and have help in learning how to do that effectively. They helped me with many different issues I was struggling with and couldn’t figure out on my own and now I have the knowledge and tools to live life to the...

Dr. Kelley is amazing. I cannot express how grateful I am for her wisdom and guidance. My 6 year old daughter was dealing with malabsorption, stomach issues, and chronic constipation. I had taken her to the ped and GI and the GI was struggling to figure things out. I am a very natural based person anyways so I decided to Google natural doctors in the area. This was a huge blessing bc Dr. Kelley was the answer to my prayers. She's incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, kind, but VERY on target to attack the issue at hand and see results quickly. She is not a doctor that wants you reliant upon her forever but she empowers you with the skills you need to make life changes and live a healthy life without her. My daughter is a different child than she was when we first started with energy, color in her cheeks, able to poop normally, laughs and plays, and is just a normal girl. I am so so thankful!! If you are looking to truly change your life and health, Dr. Kelley is your girl. She was an answer...
