Dr. Shaw was exceptional! I started with Dr. Shaw because I wanted to lose weight, and just feel better all around, and I achieved each of these goals. I worked with Dr. Shaw for 9 months and lost 50 pounds, which was my goal weight loss. On top of the weight loss, I no longer take Prilosec for GERD, I have more energy, greater clarity of thought, and I sleep better.

When I exercise, my recovery time has been significantly reduced. I am thinner and healthier now, at 40, than I was throughout my 30's. Through Dr. Shaw's guidance, I have been able to make sustainable lifestyle changes so that I can maintain my level of health. I truly can't recommend Dr. Shaw and his practice enough. It is absolutely worth the time, effort, and money!

I came to Doctor Shaw feeling so frustrated with my inability to lose weight. I tried all kinds of diets, work outs and nothing was working. I was also feeling tired all the time and dealing with anxiety with everyday life. I heard about Doctor Shaw from my sister and I was hesitant to start another thing that would possibly fail. I am so thankful I made the call.

I found I had hormone imbalances as well as food sensitivities. Doctor Shaw got me on the right track with diet and supplements and I have now lost almost 25 lbs and have so much more energy and am in such a better place mentally. Make the call, you won't be sorry!

Dr. Shaw provided me with excellent care to get my body back on track after a DCIS treatment. He explained things in a way that I could understand, and I was confident in his knowledge, expertise, and recommendations. Thank you, Dr. Shaw!

A big thank you to Dr. Shaw and functional medicine for helping bring my mom back to her spunky self. It was only 6 months ago we started consulting with Dr. Shaw about her tremors, balance issues, and several neurological symptoms including hallucinations and memory loss. After seeing other doctors and having countless tests performed, Dr. Shaw came to our rescue and found many unbelievable root causes such as vitamin deficiencies and heavy metal toxicities.

His compassion for his patients and dedication to health is extraordinary. He educated us on how her body can heal itself from all the symptoms she was experiencing and supported her through the entire process. After significant dietary changes as well as a supplement regimen, she has no tremors, no hallucinations, her memory is back, she's walking without a walker and even driving again! Thank you again Dr. Shaw!

I spent months going to different doctors, trying to figure out why I kept feeling sick and bloated every time I ate. I had both a colonoscopy and an endoscope done, but they both came back clean. Dr Shaw was a lifesaver! Within just a month I could already tell there was an improvement to my symptoms and my health. He's very patient and explains things extremely well. I was extremely hesitant to try him out since all my traditional medical doctors had failed me, but after my experience I would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Dr Shaw! After having my daughter three years ago, I started developing several new allergies, to the point that I was breaking out into hives regularly. I talked with several traditional doctors and allergists, who all recommended I go on immune suppressions to stop the reactions instead of trying to understand why my allergies were getting worse.

Within three months of seeing Dr. Shaw, my reactions have decreased significantly and I have more energy and mental clarity than I have had in YEARS. I was so skeptical starting this process with him, but it's truly amazing what he can do if you trust him and follow his plan.

I am so grateful to have worked with Dr Shaw! After conculting with serveral other doctors with no luck, I came to him with fatigue, insulin resistance, anemia (I had no idea!) and several other sypmtoms of PCOS. He was very understanding and didn't question the validity of any of my symptoms like the other doctors. He set me up on a dietary and supplement plan and after a few weeks I was starting to feel back to my old self. Dr Shaw is great at explaining everything that is going on and helping you to see how your body is starting to heal. He's not trying to keep you as a patient forever, but wants you to be able to function on your own! I felt like I learned so much and feel so much better! 6/5!

Dr. Conan Shaw is one of the smartest clinicians I have ever worked with. I came to him for help with Lyme's disease when the rest of the medical community decided I did not have it or that all my symptoms were in my head. I appeared to have both classic and more severe neurological symptoms. He listened to me, he did more advanced testing and determined I did have Lyme's.

Then he put me on a very clean diet, herbs and supplements and slowly over the next 12 months, I fully recovered. He has continued to help me nutritionally with other health issues and I feel better now than I have in a very long time.

If I could give more than 5/5, I would! Dr. Shaw helped me with my stomach problems, after having ulcers and taking horrible acid reducing medication. I went to multiple GI and PCP doctors, but none took my symptoms seriously and said I needed to take the medication. Dr. Shaw helped me understand what caused my stomach issues in the first place, and helped get my stomach, hormones, and mental health back on track.

His advice on nutrition plans and supplements were tailored just for me, but having someone who was truly empathetic was the biggest benefit. He truly cared about understanding my specific situation and helping me. Beth and Bebe are also delights, making the office comfortable and easy to order any supplements! Would definitely recommend going to Dr. Shaw's office for any health help!

Dr Conan Shaw is an awesome doctor and natural healer. He has been helping people get healthy for 20 years in the Pittsburgh area. His expertise, bed side manners and results are second to none. I highly recommend anyone to see him especially if you are not getting the results you desire. If a doctor tells you they cannot help then you need to make an appointment with his office manager Beth and see Dr Shaw!

I am completely overwhelmed today after being released from treatment after only 10 months. Dr Shaw listened to my symptoms and strategically identified the root cause of my issues. I stayed diligent to following supplements and food regime- and it paid off!

This man is blessed with a talent of proving that the body will heal itself and within my heart and soul he saved my husband's life. A rare immune disorder (Sarcoidosis) has been attacking my husband's lungs (somewhat silently) for many years now. (51% breathing capacity remains) After being diagnosed, we traveled to Cleveland Clinic (an outstanding facility I might add) where he was treated for a few years.

The drugs, however, made him feel miserable and getting to the point of not being able to work. He quit the drugs "cold turkey" on his own. After seeing Dr. Shaw, he reviewed blood work, ordered some of his own, instructed him on a detailed diet and supplements. We will be returning to Cleveland in a year. We have been going there every 3 to 6 months.

If his test results are the same, they plan on releasing him. I am not going to paint an easy picture here though. This was a complete change of lifestyle and it takes hard work and yes you may have to spend some of your money you may think you do not have. Please tell me what a better investment could their be than your health. I would have sold my house if I had too to have my husband in my life. We truly love you Dr. Shaw. A "blessing" to all is what you are.

I can not say enough great things about Dr. Shaw. He listened to me when no one else would. He helped me figure out what all was going on with me in one visit. He listens and he explains.

He listens to his patients like no other Dr. I have ever seen and knows just the right way to treat your problem. He is always available. I refer him to others often because I want them to feel as good as I feel because of his expertise.

I went to Dr Shaw after consistently telling medical doctors that my daughter had a metabolic problem and they gave me no suggestions. Within 5 minutes of our first consultation he understood her struggles and had ideas about what was going on. Blood work confirmed his intuition and now my daughter is on her way to a healthier life. The rest of the family is learning to be healthier too. He gratitude I have for his knowledge and skill is enormous.
