Testimonials

Dr Connie is one of the most knowledgeable naturopathic doctors on the West Coast about women’s health. As the Director of the Breast Health Project, I get to interview some of the brightest minds in women’s health and cancer care in the country.

After getting to know Dr Connie, I not only rely heavily on her knowledge and wisdom in guiding the Project, but I also see her personally. Her combined skills of wisdom and curiosity keep her current and open in this rapidly changing field. Still she is so steeped in knowledge from years of practice that you know you are in the presence of a master when you work with her.

In December 2009 I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Through regular phone consultations with Dr Connie Hernandez, we were able to create a suitable protocol to support my body through surgery, talk through the emotional aspects of the diagnosis and together weave a holistic approach to my healing journey. She was able to tap into my needs on many different levels and worked with me to identify what was most important and likely to be effective. Her warm voice enveloped me in love, while her ability to pick up emotions through the phone and her listening on many levels, provided a strong basis on which to build a protocol. Dr Connie’s wisdom, her genuine care for her clientele, her breadth of knowledge and her integrity create a vibration of support that is exemplary, whether on the phone or face to face. With her guidance I am well on the way to recovery and am in deep appreciation of her love and her support.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer my life flipped upside down. I went to Dr C on my “sister’s” recommendation. I was a little apprehensive as I had never been to a naturopathic doctor before. Dr C was amazing. She treated me as a whole person. She listened to my thoughts and fears and then prescribed naturopathic remedies to boost my immune system and reduce my stress and prepare me for my surgery. I have never felt so healthy despite my cancer diagnosis. Dr C has a combination of so much research and knowledge as well as a way of treating you with so much care and respect.

As a transpersonal psychologist, I believe that well being and vitality emerge from the alignment of body, mind, and spirit. A stressful lifestyle and neglected health issues sabotage our efforts to experience well being and vitality. I refer my clients to Dr. Connie with full confidence that she will assist them in not only identifying but resolving health and lifestyle issues. I value Dr. Connie’s sensitivity to each client’s unique needs and circumstances, and her expertise, thorough approach, and caring nature. I trust Dr. Connie and know my clients are in good hands.

I have years of studying and marketing nutritional products. I feel fortunate to have found such a high degree of understanding and application of this special knowledge as I found in the person of Dr. Connie Hernandez. Dr. Connie listens to her patient’s needs, creates a partnership and takes the whole person into account when considering treatments. I first saw her for general fatigue, menopausal symptoms and insomnia. She was able to balance my hormones and help me restore my energy and create health. I had been working with a severe hypothyroid condition as well and she was the only clinician (holistic or allopathic) to offer the proper testing and reading and understanding of the labs. And believe me, I had seen many medical doctors, and their standard medical approach had failed.

I have had a series of medical challenges and have gone to doctors (M.D.s) in my area of rural southern Missouri. I have not been able to find solutions. I had heard Dr. Connie Hernandez, N.D, was one of the very best in naturopathic medicine. I was surprised and pleased to learn that she could work with me on the telephone. I began phone consultations with Dr. Connie last fall, in 2009. After the first session, while going over her suggestions, I was amazed at how many specific, workable solutions she was able to offer me. I have continued to benefit from our one-hour sessions on a regular basis. Despite the fact that I live in a rural area with very limited medical resources, I am now able to receive some of the finest medical advice available.

Dr. Connie Hernandez listens to me in a respectful, compassionate manner, and she gives clear and thoughtful advice. She does this in a way that makes me feel comfortable and relaxed about sharing difficult health challenges. She includes me, as a team member, in the building of solutions (which all doctors should do, but I have not experienced this, until now). She advises and helps me set short and long-term strategies. She has offered and explained specific, detailed testing advice that assists me with a major health concern — no other medical doctor has ever done this for me. All the while, she considers my personal situation and looks at options that include what I can afford, or find available, in my area. After each session, she mails me a copy of her well-organized notes. My doctor-visits-by-phone have been successful — I am healthier, and have real handles on what to do for my future healing. I have a new level of optimism — because I have a warm-hearted Naturopathic Doctor Connie on my team.
