I have a condition which makes it extremely difficult to lose weight. I saw Dr. Paris to help me with this and to hopefully just make my life better as my condition coupled with IVF was really wearing me down. She changed my diet (which I have yet to master) and recommended some pills which are actually cheaper on her website then elsewhere. (I checked) For the first time since I hit puberty I can actually tell if I am full.

I no longer wake up in pain (Unless I ate what I now know I shouldn't) and I'm down 23lbs in 3 months without being perfect ( I would say maybe even bad) at this correct way of eating. That's also not counting calories which I am definitely supposed to be doing. I highly recommend her. She really knows what she's doing. Also don't wait a few months before starting her regimen like I did :)

LAURA PARIS is the medical sleuth I prayed for. After 60 practitioners, two ER visits and tens of thousands of dollars - with still no diagnosis or treatment (apart from painkillers and antibiotics that made matters much worse), I started working with Laura. She took on my advanced and complex case very seriously and fearlessly. She made a thorough assessment of my history, symptoms, environment, diet and activity, then ordered tests that no other practitioners ever did.

Now after four years of being homebound sick with constant physical pain, we have a diagnosis and a treatment plan which she has written up for me very clearly. Honestly, I was on my last hope, and now I can say Laura it is probably saving my life. She is ridiculously smart and always learning more by studying and attending courses and conferences. On top of that she is a very clear communicator, generous, caring and alot of fun to work with.

Laura has been instrumental in my healing and health. I came into her office eight years ago with an undiagnosed thyroid disease and Hashimotos. I have been to several doctors prior who had no idea what was going on with me, she was the only one willing to listen and to work with me. Her guidance and care changed my life and I am grateful for her. She is a wonderful listner and is different than most practitioners in the way she approaches her patients.

She also stays current in her field and is always adding onto her education and experience. She has excellent bedside manner and is very friendly and professional. I feel so fortunate that I found her!

I started seeing Laura for acupuncture because I have PCOS. I had a history of miscarriage and was ready to have a baby and my midwives recommended her. I wasn't sure about acupuncture, but Laura's knowledgeable, warm and caring presence made me feel comfortable, starting with our very first appointment. Every time, Laura checks in with how I am feeling to explore what I need out of the session. I always feel genuinely cared for.

My goal when I first began was to overcome infertility and get pregnant, and have a healthy pregnancy, and that's what happened! I consider it an amazing bonus that every session I feel so relaxed as well. Thanks to Laura, I was able to get pregnant, and stay pregnant! During my pregnancy, she helped to relieve the morning sickness and headaches I experienced in the beginning and helped induce labor at the end, and everything else in-between.

I even received a hand-written card from her after I had my baby (whom she met at my first postpartum session)! Laura is amazing at what she does, what I've experienced has been relaxing and healing and transformative!

I came in for an emergency visit with severe shoulder blade pain. One visit and I was moving pain free again. Laura is an incredible acupuncturist. Intuitive and thoughtful. Highly recommend!
