Nava Health & Vitality Center

Fantastic experience: I had a truly enjoyable appointment with Yesenia. She was warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to. After a very informative consultation, we decided on Daxxify to treat my frown lines. I also opted for a tiny bit of filler to minimize the appearance of several small scars. I am absolutely LOVING the results so far! I will be scheduling with her again soon to continue my laser hair removal journey.

Fantastic experience: I love NAVA, the staff are so welcoming and friendly and I was in for a real treat with my aesthetic service with Yessenia, the new injector nurse ! She is so informative, described the whole process as it was happening, was always checking in on me and actually listened to my goals and DELIVERED. I am so happy with the results and I’m very grateful that she had such a keen eye to detail ! In addition, the PRX facial treatment is a must to keep your skin rejuvenated! I also had a massage with Kim and she was amazing !

The staff is amazing, friendly and extremely supportive. The facility is also amazing, zen and nourishing. Thank you Nava for helping me to flourish and live my best life.

Fantastic experience: I went to NAVA Bethesda for an IV treatment. Nurse Christine, Rebecca and Ami were great. Christine got my IV first time ad my veins are small. Mary and Renalie at front desk are so welcoming. Love Bethesda.

Fantastic experience: I received my first vitamin IV at Nava! It was literally painless. Christine did an awesome job!! I felt like a million bucks the next day! Highly recommend the services at Nava. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I had a great acupuncture experience with Sabina and the staff at Nava are exceptional. Thank you! Update: I had an amazing massage from Phillis today. Pressure was perfect and muscles feel so much better. Thank you Phillis and the staff for all that you for my health!

Fantastic experience: Nava Health in Bethesda is my go to for my mission to put my Autoimmune disease into remission. I have Hashimoto's and Nava health has played a big role in my health journey. I recently had a massage by their new massage therapist Kim and AMA hooked me up with my Ozone treatment. I am truly blessed and I highly recommend Nava health! 100% A big plus is the atmosphere at the Bethesda location, everyone at this office is kind, genuine and extremely helpful!!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at the Bethesda location

Fantastic experience: My experience at Nava was nothing short of Amazing! The staff was top tier! I will definitely recommend them to all of my family and friends!

Fantastic experience: I love this location! I always feel at home when am there. The Ladies at the front desk are always so kind and helpful. I have recommended NAVA to all my friends and family, specifically this location.

Fantastic experience: Had to get my blood drawn. Although it was terrifying, I had several lovely ladies to help me through the process. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: All the staff at the Bethesda office is so nice and caring. Ama is wonderful with the EmSculp. She is so nice and professional. I recommended her and the Bethesda Office staff and services.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Nava for IVs for a few years & has been great with helping me recover and keep playing basketball! Also the Equiscope in the last 6 months has been super helpful zapping inflammation. The staff have been courteous , educational and helpful! Look forward to future visits as it's part of my health regimen.

Fantastic experience: I’ve sent so many friends to Nava. I’m feeling great and love that much of it is covered by my healthcare provider. I love the text reminders days and day of appts, I also enjoyed my Drs monthly zoom follow-ups. I was very close to pre diabetes and had no idea. NAVAs integrated team taught me a lot about my own expectations for my health care providers.

Fantastic experience: Came in for an IV post bodybuilding show and it was a great first experience! Loved how in depth they were with bloodwork and information as well!

Fantastic experience: Nava has made a huge impact on my physical and mental health. After over 5 years of chronic sinus infections, migraines, allergy issues and stomach problems Nava has taken an overarching approach to my health and address all my symptoms together. I have spent years going to countless other providers and specialist who blew off my concerns blaming allergies and anxiety for my issues or often times not even attempting to help with my issues. At nava they looked at all my symptoms together to actually treat the root cause of the problem rather than prescribing random drugs to treat the symptoms. The providers at nava are all very kind and informative as they take the time to explain your issues and why they are occurring. I have enjoyed all the services I have received at nava and the staff has been incredible.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to get a hydrafacial, come see Ama! My face felt so refreshed and clean, and my pores were so clear. Hoping to get one at least once a month, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nava Health truly cares about your health and getting to the root cause of your symptoms. The staff in Bethesda are truly kind and caring. The nurses Christine, Ama, and Rebecca really interact with there clients. I have had the pleasure of having each of them for my IV treatments and they do it so painless. There is always a nurse practitioner who checks on you and follows up to see how your treatments are. They answer your questions and concerns right then and there with a solution or recommendation. Thank you Nava for helping me.

Positive experience: Friendly staff, great therapists

Positive experience: It is confusing at first. So many disciplines want to help you. Sometimes it can be too much and hard to figure out. You don’t want to play whack-a-mole because chances are you’ve been doing that and it hasn’t worked with traditional medicine and prescriptions and whatnot. So once you have a steady routine of treatment and a solid take on what might help you, the staff and clinicians are wonderful slowing you down and helping you figure it all out with steady guidance, encouragement and knowledge. I look forward and am hopeful that I might find pain relief here.

Negative experience: For those of us who have a disability (in my case, deafness)-I was told twice they would find an interpreter for me and I have not heard back from them. Really disappointed. Just be aware. One week later:still no response from them.

Fantastic experience: I embarked on my wellness journey with Nava four months ago, and I have been truly impressed by the whole experience. After hitting a roadblock with my medical team for almost a year, Nava's comprehensive blood work, doctor and nutritionist appointments, along with my dedication to the supplements and recommended services, have made a significant difference in how I feel. The team at Nava is both welcoming and professional. One highlight for me is the massage by Laurel. She provides the perfect massage every single time! The pressure is just right, and her hands seem to move with remarkable intuition. I always leave feeling refreshed and noticeably less stressed.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I found Nava! Everyone is so friendly and really listen to you and concerns. I’ve been through a lot doctors looking for help and this is the first place I felt that my concerns matter.

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome customer service experinencr with Erin. She was detailed oriented, efficient and so pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Functional labs and testing is what brought me to NAVA Health, and after having such a positive experience, I continued exploring other services offered, i.e. acupuncture, IV, and massage, all of which have been phenomenal.

Negative experience: I entered with high expectations for the care and guidance I would receive from the NAVA team. However, regrettably, my experience fell short of these expectations. My disappointment stems from the appointments with the medical doctor and nutritionist. During my session with the medical doctor, I felt that the discussion lacked depth and meaningful interpretation of my bloodwork results in relation to my specific concerns regarding the correlation between my health markers. This left me feeling as though the appointment failed to provide the valuable insights and guidance I had hoped for. Similarly, my appointment with the nutritionist did not meet my expectations. Despite my optimism about receiving a tailored diet plan to address the energy challenges I face due to my illness and medication, the session lacked personalized guidance. Instead, I received generic recommendations that I could have easily found online. She showed no care for me and the problems I brought up. I had anticipated a holistic approach to my care, with a focus on personalized support and guidance to help me achieve optimal health. Unfortunately, the emphasis of NAVA health is more on business than on patient-centered care. Furthermore, despite canceling my membership, I was billed, which is deeply frustrating. I explicitly requested cancellation during the setup, and I even followed up with a phone call to ensure it was processed correctly. I’m even more worried now that I’ve read reviews saying that they will take months to cancel my membership and issue a refund. My brother was hoping to find a nutritionist to talk to here as well, I told him to SPRINT the other way. I do not recommend this place at all.

Fantastic experience: Ama is great and she's helping me get better

Fantastic experience: Love the experience. Gentle thoughtful care by Naranyana, Alma and the front desk Chloe!!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Calvin and Christine at Nava. The customer care was outstanding and the in-service procedure was painless. From the front desk to the RN and specialist, thank you.

Fantastic experience: Lovely team and the first place that finally convinced me I can feel better!

Fantastic experience: I love my Nava provider practice. Rachel is outstanding for acupuncture and Phyllis is an incredible massage therapist.

Negative experience: NAVA has totally failed me recently... a NP dropped a diagnosis in my lap and then failed to follow up - no next steps, no calls, no messages... I have called to ask many times and am just given the runaround.

Fantastic experience: Nava is a wonderful place that truly cares for my total health! I am so happy that I discovered this gem in healthcare in our area and have found such knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate doctors, nurses, and therapists here. Nava has helped me to transform my health and find relief from chronic pain through dietary changes, acupuncture, Equiscope, Emsculpt Neo, and massage. Amina and Ama are phenomenal care providers! I can’t recommend Nava Health highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility! I get hyperbaric oxygen therapy here for my tbi symptoms and it's helped so much. The staff is caring and flexible, the pricing is great and they have some of the most cutting edge approaches. Highly recommend

Negative experience: Total scam. I had a 10 minute consultant call and was charged $165 dollars after paying a co-pay. After your initial round of calls/appointments they ask that you sign up for a membership for monthly services/while paying for those services on top of your monthly membership fee.

Fantastic experience: The staff there is amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Phyllis massage totally worth it

Fantastic experience: Christine was amazing; she is very professional.

Fantastic experience: Nava is great! Great products and services. Love the massages. Must see Kimberly!! Great hands and very knowledgeable. If you want relief, go see Kimberly!! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Amina at Nava is amazing! I started with her acupuncture treatments for my back pain after having multiple cesareans and diastasis recti. Now I’m doing Equiscope therapy with her and I’m feeling so much better. She is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.

Negative experience: Disclaimer: This is going to be long because details are necessary to understand the type of scam Nava is running. I write this review as someone who has experienced excellent alternative and holistic care. I started my journey with Nava under the belief that this would be a similar experience but I was sorely mistaken. At my initial appointment the nurse took my information and concerns but it didn’t necessarily seem like a doctor’s appointment. The strangest part was at the end when another person came on to “check me out” and that’s where he vaguely explained the membership component but it wasn’t at all thorough which by the end of this experience I realized was by design. Following the initial appointment, I went into the office and took my tests and did blood work. I also asked the front desk about the membership program and they gave me a pamphlet but once again no explanation aside from your insurance may cover some of it. Fast forward to my second appointment with the doctor, she was very standoffish and seemed ready to go. She prescribed me a hefty amount of supplements some of which were explained, others were not. But at the end a new person came on to do the check out but in all actuality it was a sales rep explaining how after my third appointment I will need a monthly membership to see any of the doctors or access any of the services. The recommended membership was $99 per month PLUS any recommended services. He also explained that he couldn’t tell me how much my insurance would cover for the services until I came in. The supplement total was well over $400 and one of the recommended tests alone was $800 out of pocket. When I started asking direct questions about alternatives to the membership and so on, the conversation got tense and he basically was like well you need to know by your third appointment if you’re going to get a membership or not. I asked about getting my test results and so on and that was ignored. He alluded to the fact that if I don’t decide then I won’t have access to my results. I checked my portal after my second appointment and before my third and none of my test results or notes were there. At this point I was convinced they were trying to hold them until I opted in to the membership. I met with Colleen Desimone the nutritionist who was very kind and patient. She was attentive to my needs and made sure my test results were released as they should’ve been after my second appointment. This time the sales rep couldn’t come on the line because there was a wait and I happened to miss the call. When I went back into the portal I still didn’t see the supplement recommendations so I had to call and the customer service people made a fuss about giving me access. I decided to google Nava Health & Vitality Center jobs out of utter curiosity. Not to my surprise, I found a job ad for “ health coach” which per the description is the official title for the sales rep that comes at the end of the appointments as I mentioned earlier. The whole purpose of the health coach is signing people up for these memberships and adding these high ticket services and “recommendations”. What gets me about this whole operation is the claim that they are doing something so different from western medicine when it’s honestly just a hustle. Had they been straight forward I wouldn’t have wasted my time and I could’ve been treated by folks who have my health needs at the center. Please please please read others experiences who have low ratings. I’m an avid review reader and it seems like for every bad review there’s a high one so they’re hidden. Read the BBB complaints and take your money elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Nava for over a year. It has been an excellent experience. They have offered alternative medications for my thyroid disease and that has helped a lot. I have also been getting accupuncture from Amina and I absolutely love her! She is very knowledgeable in eastern medicine and I have learned a lot from her. Overall I am very happy with Nava!

Fantastic experience: Phyllis is an excellent masseuse and all the ladies at the front desk are spectacular

Fantastic experience: Greetings! I am elated to share my experiences with Nava Health Services in Bethesda, MD. The staff are extremely supportive and helpful. I have been on a health journey since 4th quarter of 2023. The customer service and hospitality is amazing. Gina, Ama, Rachel, Mary, Renayla, Leslie and Chloe have been a pleasure to work with. Nava is a breath of fresh air and allows me to prioritize my self care and health unapologetically. I’m grateful for this opportunity and this great staff of professionals who care about my wellbeing. Thank you for all your support. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I am truly appreciative. Keep up the good work team!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a little over 2yrs but it feels like a lifetime of Holiday family visits every 2 weeks. When I walk in Mary(manager) has the warmest happiest smile and it immediately makes me feel welcomed as if she’s been waiting for me and only me along with a little girl chat . Ama (RN) appears from the back with a warm smile and happy to see me, once I’m in the back enjoying my painless IV therapy Ama started for me , here comes Narayana (FNP) to ask how am I doing with all the beautiful compliments from her . You guys tell me if this doesn’t sound like a family affair . Nava family i mentioned makes me feel like I’m the only patient/client/customer aka family member they have. Oh !! forgive me the services are just as amazing as the people that take care of you .

Fantastic experience: Sabina is fantastic! Probably the best acupuncture treatment I have ever had. Not only is she warm and friendly , she truly listened to my concerns about my health.

Fantastic experience: Amina was wonderful. It was my first acupuncture appointment and she was patient with me and took time to listen to my history and questions plus explain everything. I felt so much more relaxed after the session.

Fantastic experience: Ama was wonderful, she was very kind and informative on my treatment plan. Will definitely recommend NAVA Center!

Fantastic experience: The hydra facials are so pleasant and the results are amazing. I can’t say enough about the front desk staff. Love them.

Fantastic experience: The team is highly capable to meet our every needs. Super effective and the IV team (Gina) is super gentle and met my every need. Thx!

Fantastic experience: I love Nava Health! The staff are so welcoming. I had a wonderful hydra facial with Ama. She was patient and answered all my questions. She was so lovely! I will definitely come back ☺️

Fantastic experience: Simply amazing! The front desk staff is wonderful and welcoming. The doctors and nurse practitioners are caring and knowledgeable. Over the past year, my over all health, specifically my mental well being has improved significantly. I cannot imagine my life without Nava Health!

Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing! Renayla in the Bethesda office goes above and beyond to ensure that your front office experience is excellent!!! She’s wonderful and her smile lights up the room. Likewise, Ama is the kindest nurse I’ve ever met!!! Had a similar fantastic experience with the team in the Columbia location.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to nava for 7 months, highly recommend Phyllis. She is very knowledgeable and by far the best masseuse.

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience and I’m looking forward to my next visit. She was great.

Fantastic experience: Phylis is an absolutely amazing massage therapist! She is not only great at her craft, but she is very knowledgeable about holistic health principles and shares helpful information. She truly cares for her clients!

Fantastic experience: I have been a Nava client for almost a year now and I am glad I am under their care. I have tried 3 massage therapists and by far Laurel, at the Bethesda facility, is the best. I was not necessarily unhappy with the other therapists, they were skilled and professional but Laurel attended to my needs exactly as I asked. Laurel is versatile, one day I could ask for a massage that requires a firm hand with pressure that will work out muscle strains and she will comply with my current needs. But I prefer light pressure and a relaxing touch and Laurel is always perfect. I am very grateful for the care at Nava, for all the skilled professionals and for their expertise that has helped me feel better, stronger and more resilient.

Fantastic experience: Sabina, the acupuncturist, is fantastic. I highly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Ryan for the great advice! At goal weight and next is working on a healthy mindset next.

Fantastic experience: Their new massage therapist Kimberly is excellent. She soothed my sore muscles. Great with those of us who work out!!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to life that brought me such a wonderful healer like Sabina. I have traversed the world and met many Acupuncturists but Sabina is a league by herself. The combination of essential oils, Accupuncture and innate healing powers makes her a gift and one of the best people one can meet. Thank you Sabina for choosing to be the wonderful healer you have become

Fantastic experience: Rachel is a wonderful acupuncturist! So glad I found her.

Fantastic experience: Laurel is an amazing massage therapist! She is professional, always making sure that she is asking questions and addressing all my concern areas. I’ve been coming to NAVA for two years. She is the best! Helen

Fantastic experience: Love the massage therapists here, and acupuncture professionals are just amazing!

Fantastic experience: Rq

Fantastic experience: I had some underlying issues mostly falling hair, joint pain and chronic fatigue, it has been two years I am taking some of their servives like IV Rejuvaniation and hyperbarick oxygen in regular basis as a subscribed member , they offer one free credit every month and it lowers the cost average of mine in total. The staff are so kind and polite. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Nava is amazing! Not only are they educating you, they are improving your quality of life! I had an amazing facial with Gina today. The team is also super patient and kind, Miss Mary, Renayla, and Chloe in the Bethesda office all give the warmest welcome and answer any questions to get you comfortable and ready for your treatments. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Amina is fabulous for acupuncture and equiscope. She really listens and applies her knowledge and experience to get to root issues, and she checks back to see what works and what doesn’t. She’s great!

Fantastic experience: Laurel was just fantastic in her approach and massage technique. She helps with facilitating mindful relaxation as well as addressing any specific physical concerns you may have for the day. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Phyllis is the absolute best masseuse. All the the tension and stress melted away.
