Success Stories
Patient Testimonials
Real experiences from patients who have found hope and healing through Dr. Hedaya’s functional medicine approach:
“Dr. Hedaya treated my depression by ordering several blood and saliva analysis tests to determine if I was imbalanced in my body chemistry. It took a lot of patience and money on my part and faith in Dr. Hedaya that there would be a brighter day. Now, I’m feeling terrific at age 54 and I’m looking forward to the present and future each day.”
“Dr. Hedaya has an extremely rare combination of skills—board-certified in neurology and psychiatry, as well as a very strong background in endocrinology. His intake was at least 3 hours and at a level of detail that we had not experienced with anyone else.”
“The comprehensive care of 7 specialists in 1 doctor – like the Mayo Clinic, only better.” – Patient KW
“I am a physician and recently had the privilege of seeing Dr. Hedaya for a complex medical problem. I was impressed with the amount of time Dr. Hedaya spent with me but more importantly how thorough, skilled and genuinely concerned he was. Four months out from our initial encounter I am feeling much better and have both renewed hope and the information I need to make decisions about my life and work.”
