Berkeley Naturopathic Medical Group

I've gone to countless doctors over the years and am so grateful to have found Dr. Korza! I wasn't familiar with naturopathic medicine before, but my aunt had recommended Dr. Korza after she had visited her and I had mentioned how it was difficult to find a doctor to do a proper thorough assessment for me and take the time to understand my needs. It's not that I've had a horrible experience with general physicians, I've even seen an internal medicine specialist, but I finally felt properly heard with Dr. Korza. She did a very thorough assessment of my health history and background, listened to my concerns, and ordered a variety of lab tests. For the first time, I had a doctor sit with me for an hour and talk through each lab result, what they meant, and whether or not certain things were issue areas of concern. She was able to point out something I had been concerned about and gave me just a few supplements to address the issue. I've only had two appointments with Dr. Korza and it's been about four months since my first appointment, but I finally feel like I'm in control of my health and on a path to fully understanding my needs. Dr. Korza is very accessible via their online communication system as well, so I appreciate being able to be in touch with her if I have any questions. In person she's just amazing!! She has a very kind, caring demeanor and sincerely takes her time to address your concerns in a non-judgmental fashion. I finally feel like I met a doctor who doesn't just take a quick fix jumping to conclusions about my situation approach to my health, I most definitely recommend her.

Dr. Korza and Dr. Colby both rock. Dr. Korza is my clinician. She is smart, deeply knowledgeable, thoughtful. Her treatment protocols take into account where I am in my life, what I am ready to change, and what I am working towards. Her nutrition recommendations have quite literally changed my life. She is also conservative with recommending supplements, which I appreciate. Dr. Colby was there for me when I had an acute illness, and in a 15-minute phone appointment, gave me a treatment plan that knocked out my flu and had me back on my feet in a few short days. I love that they offer a private email network for questions between sessions as well, which also has an archive of notes from all of our sessions. Naturopathic medicine starts with the gut, and takes in the whole patient. I've valued every recommendation I've received from them and am glad to have them as partners on my journey to my best self.

I spent 20+ years with chronic joint pain, stomach pain, headaches (migraines) and fatigue. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue, IBS and of course fibromyalgia among others. Every diagnosis was followed up by more drugs. The drugs made it all worse especially my stomach. One meeting with Dr. Korza addressed all of these symptoms. She gave me a strict elimination diet along with  supplements which changed my life. The brain fog went away instantly, I slept well, my body began working like a well oiled machine. Diet clearly is a huge part of it all and Dr. Korza is able to make it clear so you can follow it. Although it was a lot of money at times it was well worth it. After 20 years of missing out on life due to health issues it was a small price to pay. I would ask anyone wondering if Dr. Korza is for them... have you had enough of the plethora of drugs and being treated like you are a hypochondriac by traditional docs? What I have come to realize is my symptoms began after large doses of antibiotics and NSAIDS. The "cure" was not worth it in this case. I will take a well thought out diet and supplements (temporarily) over that any day. Love, love, love Dr. Korza and the staff at BNMG.

Dr. Korza did not help me very much. She helped, a little, I suppose. I came to her a few years back to work on my fatigue among other things, and didn't improve much. I also suggested several tests to her during our time together which I read about and she didn't think they were necessary. I honestly don't think she was just very informed about these tests or at least did not have experience using them. I remember her rates are very expensive, and she spent at least 15 minutes of the time writing up paperwork while you wait. Since then I have seen another nutritionist in the easat bay. This person ran a great assortment of tests that Dr. Korza did not run, put me on a body specific nutrition plan and supplement plan, and my fatigue has greatly reduced. This person spends the full hour with me, writes up the treatment plan later, and has good email communication, at a lower rate than Dr. Korza. I tried emailing Dr. Korza a few times and her responses would take a week and be 1 sentence long. That is very frustrating as a client. Dr. Korza is very good at making money and has streamlined this business, and I do feel a bit ripped off. There is truth in a lot of her nutritional recommendations, but I think there are a lot better options and well versed healers out there.
