Testimonials

Working with Dr. Chotocruz has greatly enriched my education as a naturopathic student. With patients, her manner is direct yet gentle, frank and unmistakably sincere. Her compassion for patients' health is apparent. In complex cases, she reveals an astute skill of teasing out pertinent information to arrive at the correct diagnosis. While she demonstrates a comprehensive and impressive medical knowledge it is the commitment to her patients' well-being that is remarkable. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Chotocruz for the greater part of an academic year and I have both learned exceptional patient care as well as been witness to a experienced physician that is inspiring to me as soon-to-be doctor.

I first met Dr. Chotocruz following a motor vehicle accident. Throughout my recovery, Dr. Chotocruz has provided excellent care. She is a skilled professional with many different approaches in her toolbox. When indicated, she is willing to work with other health care providers to find the best solution possible for her patients. Most importantly, she is warm and caring and she really listens to her patients.

I came to Dr. Chotocruz at age 47 with symptoms of hot flashes every 45 minutes; tossing and turning and losing sleep every night. On my first visit, we had a one hour appointment and she asked me to take some tests to assess my condition and to see how my body was functioning. She found where I had a hormone imbalance. She prescribed natural hormone replacement therapy, vitamins, herbs, and within 8-10 days, my symptom subsided.

I suffered years of feeling badly, taking anti-depressants, gaining weight and finding no real medical answers before finding myself in the office of Dr. Yasmin Chotocruz. With prompting from family and friends, I decided to take a new approach to my health. On my first visit, Dr. Chotocruz sat down with me and truly listened. She asked questions and made connections that no other medical professional had made. Dr. Chotocruz's honest, open, straight-forward manner allowed me to relax and feel comfortable sharing details that had previously been dismissed as unimportant. I never felt rushed or pressured and was given the gift of her time and attention. When I left her office that day, I had real hope about my health and my emotional state.

It has been six months since I first met Dr. Chotocruz. In that time I have lost my excess weight, gained energy and I am well on my way to great health. In an age of nameless health care, Dr. Chotocruz is a true breath of fresh air. She has been a miracle worker in my life. I have sent friends to her doorstep, many of whom were also suffering greatly. Without reservation I would recommend Dr. Yasmin Chotocruz to anyone needing to be heard and helped with medical concerns.
