As a healthcare provider myself, I found that I was confused and misguided when it came to optimizing my own health. I decided to work with Dr. Rafatjah to sort it all out and she did not disappoint! After 15 years of suboptimal thyroid function, I’m happy to announce my thyroid and I am much healthier and happier – thank you, Dr. R., Your knowledge and skill as a doctor are admirable only outshined by your warm, compassionate and gentle nature. I appreciate every minute of care you have given me.

Not many doctors will give you hope about healing from chronic, lifelong eczema, but Dr. Rafatjah has done that for me. I went to her hoping to get off of my dependence on high-intensity cortisone ointments and to preserve my fertility. Dr. Rafatjah identified some autoimmune issues that no other doctor or dermatologist had, got me on the right supplements, and helped me make the correct dietary changes. 2 years later I am 99% eczema free (with no medications), and happily pregnant. She is kind, compassionate and listens deeply to her patients. Rather than being told what’s wrong with me and walking away with yet another prescription, she has empowered me with a deep understanding of my body and given the tools to maintain my own health, with her as a supporting partner. This has honestly changed my life in more ways than I can detail here and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I searched for 30 years for a truly integrative, holistic internist. I had basically given up, cobbling together various specialists and attempting to direct my own healthcare, when I found Dr. Rafatjah. I knew from the first appointment I had with her that she was going to be a doctor who would look at my health in a truly holistic way – taking into account lifestyle, personality, genetic issues, and tricky health challenges. Thoroughness is her hallmark, and it is remarkable to find that quality in a doctor who is also very open to my own ideas about healthcare. Dr. Rafatjah is a talented doctor who is responsive, accessible, and compassionate to boot.

Dr. Rafatjah is the thoughtful experienced doctor I’d been looking for, who practices new—integrative and holistic—medicine with a thorough knowledge of allopathic medicine and has an astounding capacity for asking the right questions and searching out a successful and very individualized therapy. A gifted wonderful physician.

My experience with Dr. Rafatjah has been immensely rewarding. I have struggled with allergies and inflammation my entire life. When I first sought her care in November of 2016, I had already been through two sinus surgeries, several ENTs, and more primary care docs and specialists than I could count. Dr. R’s holistic, total body approach and empathetic manner really guided me down a path to health that, while not always easy, has been lasting.

Since I began treatment, I have significantly reduced my allergic reactions and inflammations, identified my most potent food triggers and lost 45 pounds. If my future self had told my past self that I could feel this healthy, I don’t think I would have believed it. I highly recommend Dr. Rafatjah, not just for her manner and approach, but for her results.

I discovered Dr. Rafatjah after being frustrated and confused on how to manage my Hashimoto’s thyroid disease, perimenopause, and adrenal fatigue – my previous endocrinologist, gynecologist, and general internist were not on the same page. Dr. Rafatjah took the time to look at me holistically, understand my unique factors, and treat me, the whole person. She attentively listened to how I was feeling, monitored by blood levels, varied my medication and supplements, accordingly, and helped me find the right nutrition and lifestyle practices to incorporate into my daily routine. We worked together to: optimize my nutrition, balance my hormones, and help me find sustainable nutrition and lifestyle solutions to manage my condition.

Dr. Rafatjah had a very positive impact on my life. My allergies, eczema, and overall health greatly improved whilst being treated my Dr. Rafatjah, I would highly recommend her to any patients looking to take control of their health.

Dr. Rafatjah changed my life! After a lifetime of stomach problems, visits to specialists and testing, I had become resigned to the fact that even though I was a physician with access to the best medical care, no one could help me. Then I met Dr. Rafatjah and began to learn about functional medicine. Within 4 months of implementing her program, my lifelong stomach issues disappeared. In addition to that, I have more energy, my brain fog has disappeared and I have lost 20 unwanted pounds. I am forever grateful to Dr. Rafatjah. She is truly special!

Dr. Rafatjah is an absolute breath of fresh air! Incredible bedside manner and a visible passion for what she’s doing. We worked together for a year and a half and I always looked forward to our appointments. While I connected with Dr. Rafatjah primarily to optimize my health and begin tracking specific blood markers, her holistic approach shined a light on the areas of my life that I hadn’t realized were causing me so much stress! With Dr. Rafatjah, you are truly seen as a person – not just as a patient. No feeling judged or lectured, Dr. Rafatjah makes you feel deeply cared for 🙂 Highly, highly recommend for anyone seeking holistic practices, experimenting with elimination diets and getting an advanced biomarker assessment.

Dr. Rafatjah is very attentive and has provided some noteworthy advice, which has greatly improved my general disposition. She is friendly and cared for me and my family.
