What People Are Saying
“Dr. Dawn is both attentive and thorough. I had multiple health concerns that were causing me distress and Dr. Dawn approached each with compassion and care. Through in-depth testing and her applied knowledge of the body, Dr. Dawn helped identify a protocol that greatly improved my quality of life. I would recommend her to my friends and family!” -K
“I could not more highly recommend working with Dr. Dawn. Working with her in my early months of recovery, she was exactly who I needed in order to trust that a practitioner was actually on my side and I could be completely honest about my addiction history and subsequent mental and physical health struggles. I hadn't been to the doctor in years because I was afraid being “found out,” judged and treated like an addict. Dr. Dawn treated me like a whole human.” — Jessica T.
“Dr. Bantel was the absolute best! As somebody with pretty severe anxiety, she made everything make sense and helped me feel much better about the situation. I definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a good doctor that takes a big-picture approach!”— Halle Clark
