The service and ambient is amazing. You can feel how much each of the persons working there cares for you. They don't rush your appointment and do give you a lot of confidence in any procedure. More importantly, they all are committed with the Functional/integrative medicine approach, which is rational, effective, and science-based. Without a doubt, being part of CIH has been one of the best health-related decisions that we, as a family, have done.
So so happy with this practice! After years yes, years of looking for a comprehensive practice both my daughter and I joined them after some dear friends also had wonderful experiences. They were fully on board with doing full testing of every kind, have finally diagnosed issues that other practices ignored or refused to test for, and we are on our way to feeling so much better. All the staff have been kind, the practitioners knowledgeable, and almost everything conducted by video except for two in-office tests, which has been so convenient. We never feel rushed and every communication is comprehensive and responses are prompt.
My experience started off positive and slowly started to decline. I have to send multiple messages to receive a response, have been left waiting in the waiting room without any acknowledgment or apology, and have felt more lost about my health than ever. My previous PCP not a functional medicine team was more responsive than this practice. Pros: Some medical assistants are lovely, warm, and timely. The office is cozy and well-decorated. My current doctor, who is leaving, was very attentive when she realized I was sitting in the waiting room for 15 minutes, and no one told her or came to check on me.
I have been using CIH as my PCP for two years now and can't imagine life without them. I have a few autoimmune issues and have always been the sick one since I was a kid. In summer of 2020, I had a major autoimmune flare up and they helped me get myself - not only better - but healthier than I have ever been. They look at the real causes rather than just addressing symptoms. It takes time to go through the testing and then implementing their recommendations, but it was life changing. I like to meet with them every few months just to touch base and make sure my health is stable. I love that they actually care about me and are invested. There's always multiple practitioners on my appointments and I never feel rushed. They actually talk through things with you and are so thorough. This is how medicine should be! Personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
I'm a new patient to this practice and have been blown away by how comprehensive, responsive, and caring they are. It's also exciting to access Integrative and functional medicine approaches that accept my insurance. It can take a little while to get an appointment, so don't delay!
I've had nothing but great experiences at Capital Integrative Health! The staff is great and Dr. Alakija is one of the best wellness doctors I've seen. She listens and has an overall concern for your well-being. You do not see this in a normal doctor's office setting. I'm very thankful to have found CIH and will continue to refer my family and friends here!
I have been a patient at this practice for 3 years. All of the doctors and staff have been consistently caring and professional. I am so relieved to have a clinic with an integrative approach to health and healing that I can trust and that take the time to know their patients.
First impression - the staff seem happy to be there, and it translates into the experience from walking in the door, through the last check-out process. Everyone is helpful. The medical professionals actually LISTEN and take time, and go out of their way to take patient needs into account like taking blood pressure twice with the machine, and then manually, when i said that the readings are atypical for me. The Drs listen and respond and ask questions and treat the whole human.
Living in a large metropolitan area makes it challenging to find practitioners that have enough time to hear your story and really consider your needs. They are knowledgeable and I felt confident they knew what they were talking about. They are caring and sympathetic to what you are going through. Paying for your own health and wellbeing is a no brainer. So coming here is well worth the money!
It is a great experience to be joining a practice that is truly a community of practitioners, all devoted to improving the health of their patients. I particularly enjoy CIH’s non-judgmental approach to care.
