I've been seeing Gary Weiner for over a year now, and I really can't say enough good things about him and his practice. I'll start with the front desk, everyone is so friendly, very patient and incredibly helpful. I've only had very positive experiences with scheduling, insurance, and payments. I've met Dr. Breen on a number of occasions, mostly for blood work. She's always very friendly and personable, she really listens, and cares. Bonus: I never feel it when she takes my blood. Dr. Weiner, I've been dealing with PCOS and thyroid issues for years. I have also been looking for a doctor that actually listens to my symptoms, and does the correct blood test. I've been to...quite a lot of terrible doctors, Dr. Weiner has redeemed the medical industry for me. Personality, he's very friendly, easy to talk to, funny, but gives it to me straight, which is something I really value and ask for. He has given attention to every symptom I have, even has a running list that we go through each visit to make sure the symptoms are being addressed. He offers different approaches to treatment, discusses each option thoroughly and ultimately leaves it up to you for which direction you would like to go. He has never insisted on a treatment, talked me into anything, if I say no to something he completely respects my decision. I feel in complete control of my health and treatment. Price, naturopathy can still be expensive, unfortunately, Dr. Weiner is very up front with costs of all testing and treatments, and even goes the extra mile to try and make it more cost effective and works within your budget. I will say that there's a lot of work you as a patient needs to do, Dr. Weiner is not a miracle worker, you need to put in your time and effort. It's worth it, in just one year my autoimmune disease is in remission, my PCOS symptoms are continuously improving, and I feel the best I have in years. Switching to him was the best decision I have ever made.

Called in regards to my wife having adrenal fatigue symptoms. Receptionist was extremely rude! When I was surprised by the cost of 1 hour he blew up on me and said "This conversations over dude!". Maybe I was a bit frustrated about the cost, but I wasn't rude. My wife has been extremely sick on and off for a while now, and there's a good reason for me to be stressed.

Ellen Goldsmith and the entire team at Pearl Natural Health have made such a positive impact on my life. Ellen is exceptional with her needles! but, what makes her really stand out is her caring and her ability to listen without judgement. I've had some rough patches in my life, as all of us do at times - and I'm grateful to Ellen and Pearl Natural Health.

These doctors genuinely care! It's so refreshing to meet doctors who are totally committed to finding the source of your problems and pain and helping you get better. They have a lot of experience and as a team, Ellen and Gary, seem to be able to treat most issues. Every time I talk to them, I can feel how much they care. Thank you!

I have had the privilege of working closely with both Julia and Dr. Weiner for almost a year, now. I have had Ulcerative Colitis for five years. While, I've made great strides, on my own, while following SCD, I have fallen into a couple of flares. As a result, I first started meeting with Julia to help analyze all aspects of my food/nutrition. I have felt so much encouragement from her, as she, herself, follows SCD and has struggled with Ulcerative Colitis. Julia is dedicated to her work and the overall wellness of the person. She gives practical advise, is quick to respond, and provides appropriate vision/next steps.
Through this flare, I also began working with Dr. Weiner. He is the first doctor that I have trusted. He cares for his patients and their well-being and looks at all aspects of what can be causing the issue. He is not pushy and has given me options of what would be the minimum he would like for me to do (financially) and what would be the most he would like to do (if money wasn't an option, as I didn't have insurance covering my bills for a good majority of our time). I feel secure knowing that he specializes in gut issues and auto-immune issues. I can't say enough about the care and heart that these practitioners put into their work. Thank you.
