"Love these doctors. They are good at what they do and really take time with you to understand what is concerning you and explain what they can do for you. My son has already shown so many improvements from their treatments and we haven't even finished all the recommendations yet. So excited to see what is to come. I love that they really care about the patient." - Lauren
"This is my testimonial that Dr. Aaron Henkel, ND is by far the best doctor I have been to. If you have the determination and you listen to what he tells you--you will succeed! Most doctors give you ten minutes, he will give you all day if necessary. He listens to you, determines the problem and figures out exactly what to do. My arthritis was so bad my job was affected and I cried myself to sleep. My boyfriend would ask "Are you ever going to get better?" and I would say 'No'. Well, after only one week my pain started disappearing. First he said to cut out white flour and sugar... He changed my vitamins and I was on my way to a better life! It was amazing. Within a week I was feeling great. I started losing weight too. and I was not exercising. I lost about seven pounds in a week and in three months lost twenty three pounds and twelve inches. I went from size 12-14 to a size 8. Before I saw Dr. Aaron I could not even go for a walk with my boyfriend for a half-hour now I can walk around the cubs stadium, the badger stadium and walk for an hour. I refer Aaron to everyone I talk to." - Penny
"I am a registered nurse and work in a busy hematology/oncology clinic. I am all about mainstream medicine. I’ve seen many wonderful things happen from conventional treatments. Though I’ve never had anything as serious as cancer, I have had my share of discomforts…for years now. I first heard of a naturopath after my sister started seeing one. She did have good results but, then again, naturopaths are covered by insurance where she lives. I looked into it 2-3 years ago but never went further. Over the years I visited my regular doctor several times for various continuous and recurring symptoms. Always the same, I would be rushed into a room, made to wait a long time for a short visit. I would leave with a prescription and/or advice that never really worked. I finally made my way to Dr. Aaron in January of this year. We had a very long visit which was spent taking a detailed history. He was warm, friendly, attentive, and showed genuine concern. I left with a list of supplements and a feeling that I had finally found someone who could help. I don’t have serious medical issues but they are serious to me and to Dr. Aaron as well. He employs conventional and natural testing methods. He keeps digging and digging to get the answer and can’t stop smiling when he does. He has discovered problems I never knew I had and prescribed conventional and natural treatments that have really made a difference. He has given me the tools, encouragement, and motivation I needed to help me help myself. I did an elimination diet, nothing but juiced fruits and vegetables for a whole week followed by slow re-introduction of possible problem foods! (I had opted for the easier lab test in the beginning but Dr. Aaron didn’t believe the negative results. The elimination diet ended up being a 30+ day investment of time, energy, and sacrifice but he was right and it was worth it.) I can now navigate the overwhelming supplement isles of the health food store. I also have a starting place when going to the internet. I am a nurse but I admit I have never heard of N-acetyl-glucosamine! What I’ve found I can’t wait to share.
If your story is similar to mine, I would encourage you to see a naturopath and would highly recommend Dr. Aaron. He is caring, compassionate, and sensitive…he truly puts you at ease. You know he is listening to everything you say. His recall of small details of past visits is amazing. He is enthusiastic and his intelligence is obvious as he links seemingly unrelated symptoms, explains complicated body processes and discusses various treatments and options, all in a way that is easy to understand. Don’t wait like I did, you won’t be sorry." - Christine, RN
