Fantastic experience: I have loved my experience working with Dr. Desiree Galante! If you’re struggling with gut health, hormone imbalances, or looking to begin your fertility journey, I cannot recommend her services enough. While I’m still a work in progress, the care and guidance I’ve received from Dr. Galante have already been truly life-changing. Yes, there’s some upfront investment—but it’s more than worth it when you consider the alternative of turning to social media for answers (please don’t!) or visiting a standard doctor who might quickly prescribe antibiotics without addressing the root cause. Dr. Galante offers a thoughtful, thorough, and personalized approach that has made all the difference for me.

Fantastic experience: Terrain Clinic and Dr.Galante are a gift to this world! The entire experience has been A+ from the very beginning. Working with a doctor that takes the time to listen to all your concerns, hears you out, and helps formulate a plan that you are comfortable with is rare in todays medical field, and Dr.Galante did just that! It’s not your “typical” doctor experience, she goes above and beyond for your health, looking at the body as one big system, not just individual organs. She has helped me on my trying to conceive journey in ways I am forever grateful for. If you are trying to have a baby, no matter where you are in your journey, I would see Dr.Galante, she will help you! I could not be more grateful for the amazing care I’ve received at Terrain clinic!

Corinne Mazzotta 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr.Galante when my hormones were out of balance. Externally I appeared to have a healthy diet and exercise routine but something was just off, and several doctors I appealed to for help just shrugged it off. Dr.Galante helped me look deeper and found the root cause, which was exactly what I needed. She had the knowledge to help identify outliers in the diagnostic tests we did and gave me actionable steps to take to get them back in line. I could not recommend her more highly!

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with everyone! Dr. Galante helped me understand what’s going on with my body, and how I can help with my fertility journey in a whole body method! Michele was such a huge help with knowing what to eat to help with my endo, so I know what can cause inflammation and what can help aid it! I am so grateful that I found Terrain Clinic because I would have been lost with my endometriosis diagnosis without them! Thank you!

Shivan Segrest 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I simply can't express enough gratitude for Dr. Galante's exceptional care. When I began my journey with her in 2022, I was facing a multitude of health challenges. Dr. Galante's expertise guided me through a year-long process of healing, during which she uncovered chronic gut issues that were impacting my fertility. Despite struggling for 3 years to conceive, Dr. Galante's holistic approach and unwavering support enabled me to pause fertility treatments, focus on healing my body, and ultimately achieve the miracle of pregnancy. My perspective on health has been completely transformed through her guidance. After a year of working closely with Dr. Galante, I bravely pursued IVF once more and joyously conceived my little girl. Now, at eight months pregnant, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Dr. Galante's compassionate care. Prior to finding Dr. Galante, I endured two rounds of IVF and six embryo transfers without success. She is undeniably a godsend – the most patient and caring doctor I've ever encountered. Throughout my pregnancy journey, I've continued to see Dr. Galante in conjunction with my regular OB, ensuring a comprehensive and supportive team by my side. For anyone facing hormonal or fertility challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Galante at Terrain Clinic. Her expertise, alongside her incredible staff, has truly been life-changing. I've referred countless friends to her care and will continue to do so. Looking ahead, I plan to see Dr. Galante for postpartum care and beyond – she is a remarkable physician whom I trust implicitly. Thank you, Dr. Galante, for your unwavering dedication and transformative care. You've made an indelible impact on my life, and I'm forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: The Terrain Clinic staff and Dr. Galante have been fabulous to work with. Very knowledgeable, patient, wholistic, and kind. For me, it has been worth the investment. I worked with them for about a year and worked on making lifestyle changes (stress, sleep, exercise, nutrition, routine, supplementation, etc.) and greatly improved my health and hormones. I have a healthy, happy baby girl now and I attribute it to God and all the work that I did with the Terrain Clinic team to improve my overall health, wellness and fertility.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Galante was amazing to work with while trying to conceive! After learning more about me and things I was struggling with, she knew exactly how to tackle these issues. In our initial call, she said her clients usually conceive within 3 months of working with her and she was RIGHT! She helped me conceive within 3 months and I couldn't recommend her more if you are struggling.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have found Dr. Galante and Jen (the awesome nutritionist) at Terrain Clinic. From our very first appointment, Dr. Galante and Jen took a very "whole of body" approach to my health, and I have never felt so heard in all of my experience with medical professionals as I did with them. I went to Terrain for one main issue but ended up addressing so much more than just that (sleep, digestive issues, headaches). Couldn't be happier with my experience... just wish I had found them sooner!

Fantastic experience: I wish I had known about Terrain Clinic and Dr. Galante sooner, working with her has truly been life changing! She took all of my symptoms and worries seriously when other doctors wouldn't. She developed an individualized plan with different phases to help address all of my needs and would check in periodically to make adjustments as necessary. Care like this is hard to find. 10/10, would recommend!

Aliyah Williams 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend Terrain to anyone seeking health solutions and the desire to improve their wellbeing. My experience with Terrain Clinic has truly changed my life. When I first joined, I was suffering from terrible menstrual symptoms that took a toll on both my physical and mental well-being. Terrain helped me to discover what true health meant for me as an individual. Prior to becoming a member of Terrain, I was experiencing excruciating pain that brought me to a low point mentally. When seeking help from my gynecologist, I was told that birth control was my only option. Despite this I strongly believed that there had to be an alternative solution that addressed the root cause of my symptoms, rather than just masking them. Thankfully Terrain Clinic provided me with just that. Their program not only alleviated my symptoms, but also helped me to develop an understanding of my body's intolerances as well as which foods best support anti-inflammation for me. Through an enjoyable process of trying new foods, recipes, and lifestyle changes, I have found a routine that better supports my health, leaving me feeling at ease physically and a general improvement of mood. By the end of the program, I hardly even remembered experiencing most of those awful symptoms. Friends and family who saw me for the first time since working with Terrain noticed a visible transformation. They were in awe of how healthy, energized, and radiant I looked, without knowing that I joined the program. Aside from the joy of reaching my own personal goals, I couldn’t be happier to be able to inspire my family to take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle and share the valuable knowledge that I gained from Terrain. I am now on a continuous journey of wellbeing. My severe anxiety leading up to periods has gone away. My overall quality of life has improved, and my increased positivity rubs off on those around me, creating a beautiful chain reaction. Terrain Clinic not only offered exceptional care, but also made my appointments enjoyable. The staff was amazing and aside from learning about my health, I truly cherished the personal connections that I formed with the doctors.

Nik H 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Terrain Clinic per a friend that achieved successful results with Dr. Gallante. Starting the 6-month program with Dr. Gallante was the best decision I could’ve made for myself and the start of my family. Dr. Gallante made me feel seen and heard. All of the issues I had experienced over of the years, she made note of and addressed. If I had any concerns about testing or supplements, she answered my questions and made adjustments that worked for me while achieving my goals. In addition, Jen, the nutritionist, helped me come up with a diet/lifestyle change that I could sustain long term. I have since referred several people to Dr. Gallante, in hopes that they too can start a family of their own. Thank you Dr. Gallante and Jen for your care.

Nishu Singh-Afari 3 years ago

Positive experience: I have been patient of Dr. Galante for about 6 months. She has done an amazing job working on my personal health issues. I highly recommend her to anyone as she is a great practitioner, a great listener with lots of knowledge. Most of my issues have been resolved and I was really looking forward to a life long commitment with her until the below happened. Definitely 5 stars to her. This review is mostly of her billing team. I have had few instances with them that haven't been very positive. First off, I used to have ALL communication with Dr Galante via her portal, including setting up follow up appts. The office took her off the portal without informing her patients. I had to reschedule an appt, and I couldn’t find her on the portal anymore. So I assumed there was something wrong with the portal since ALL my communication has always been with her and never with her staff. I waited a day before my appt to see if this issue was fixed. Finally called her office to reschedule the appt. Stephanie (her billing team) wanted to charge me $75 cancellation fee to not giving them “notice”. She failed to acknowledge that I had been trying to get in touch with Dr Galante for over a week. Long story short, after going over the river and through the woods, Dr Galante acknowledged that I wasn’t my fault and indeed the office failed to inform all pts that we as patients will no longer have direct with Dr Galante and I was fully refunded. Great, no problem. Now I am clear for next time. In Dec 2021 my membership ended with Dr Galante and because she is so amazing, I still wanted to continue. I informed her I was probably going to start again late Jan to early Feb for another session. She sent me a questionnaire to fill out that includes the kind of membership, and all the cost associated with it. I verbally told her what type of membership I wanted but never signed the questionnaire. I had a lot going on in Jan with move, last min husband deployed, etc, so I didn’t want to continue until later in the year. Well Guess what? I was charged automatically early Feb without me signing anything. I noticed the charge a few weeks later and messaged Stephanie that I need a refund since I didn't sign anything and never set up an appt. I even said to keep the credit on file for when I am ready to schedule. But no, it has to now or never. The office originally decline to refund me stating it’s the office policy and gave me long spiel. After back and forth, they finally refunded me. I CLEARLY informed them not to charge until I am ready to schedule and to take my credit card from the file. They assured me that this would not happen. Late March, (a few days ago), I got an email saying there will be charge for the membership early April. At this point, I was frustrated with them but still kept my composure. I sent an email to Stephanie asking why am I getting charged again. She and Dr. Boyd sent me a message saying this was an error. And I will not be billed. I said great, no problem. Well guess what folks?? There is a charge of my CC that I noticed this morning. I have never ever written a bad review. My intentions are not to give this office a bad reputation, but to let them know that there is a huge room for improvement. I am a bit sad I will not continue with this office due to the miscommunications.

Hi Nishu,

Thank you for your feedback. Our billing system that we use, Clover, launched a new feature a few months ago that we opted into but it became clear that there were a lot of issues with it that they still needed to correct. These issues were completely out of our control and we put in many hours trying to communicate with the company to correct them. Since then, we have discontinued use of this feature and revamped many of our billing processes.

We're sorry that you had to experience this and that you are ending care with our clinic. We wish you all the best.

Fantastic experience: Dr Galante is the first doctor I've ever seen that has truly taken the time to listen to me and my symptoms. She is always so affirming while also giving me clear, science-backed advice and protocols. Before working with her, I was feeling so disillusioned about my condition, but after working with her for 6 months, my symptoms have all shown improvement, which is why I am so grateful to be able to keep working with her. While functional medicine can seem expensive up front, I have never regretted any cost that I have spent on Terrain Clinic. Thanks to my work with Dr. Galante, I know how valuable my heath is. It's so refreshing to meet a doctor who actually cares and is truly knowledgeable about health! I would recommend Dr. Galante and the Terrain Clinic to anyone who is looking to take charge of their health!

Catherine F. Jimenez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started working with Dr. Galante and Jen (nutritionist) in Fall of 2021 after a recommendation from my friend. I am so glad I did! Immediately, Dr. Galante started addressing some core areas after a few tests and we decided to focus on gut, food, and lifestyle adjustments. I took all her recommendations as well as Jen's and I feel very confident about what I eat now, what foods inflame my thyroid, and how to improve digestion. My core takeaway - they listened! I felt heard at every appointment and felt encouraged in my decisions. Although, my gut treatment is wrapping up, I plan to come back and focus on other areas of my health in the future. Thank you Dr. Galante and team!

Wellness with Audrey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I sought help from Dr. Galante after experiencing a pregnancy loss in 2021. Since I was “advanced maternal age,” I wanted to optimize my egg quality and do everything I could to conceive a healthy baby naturally. Dr. Galante taught me so much about my cycle, ovulation, hormones, etc. She works with a wonderful nutritionist whose recommendations I implemented while trying to conceive and even once I became pregnant. With Dr.’s Galante’s help, I conceived naturally at age 40 and am in my second trimester. My first ultrasound couldn’t have gone better! I’m so grateful for Dr. Galante’s knowledge and faith that women can get pregnant naturally with the right support. It takes the right practitioner and team to find the problem and patiently treat the true underlying cause of fertility challenges.

Weis Sherdel 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first saw Dr. Boyd, I was suffering from a host of digestive issues, had gained lots of weight, and was on an extended short term disability because of my illness. My GI doctor gave me a bunch of medications that didn't help. Dr. Boyd was a life-saver. He listened intently (a quality that's quite rare in today's physicians), ordered the proper labs, referred me to a nutritionist (Jen is awesome by the way), gave me supplements, and got to the root of my problems. Today, I am 25 lbs lighter, stomach issues gone, and feel my best. Dr. Boyd really cares and cheers you on when you make progress. I can't recommend him and his clinic enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Boyd and the nutritionist (Jen Ayala) at Terrain Clinic for the past 6 months. They have both been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I came to them feeling tired and stressed out even though I was eating healthy foods. I learned that some of the healthy foods were actually not healthy for me personally! With some natural supplements and changes to my diet and exercise, I am now feeling much better. I am continuing my journey with them through the new membership program. I am excited to learn more about taking care of my health in order to live fully. Thank you so much! You have both been a blessing to me.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that a friend of mine recommended Terrain Clinic to me. I've had an outstanding experience bringing together all aspects of my health with their 6-month program. I am in my second month and feel so much better already. Dr Boyd and Terrain's nutritionist, Jen Ayala, helped me understand my health especially, why I am struggling with weight in spite of eating healthy. They've created a program for me unique to my needs. I was recently diagnosed with an illness and am on a "watch and wait" protocol. Dr Boyd's great skill, knowledge and care is helping me improve the aspects of my health I can control and helps me feel more hopeful. Dr Boyd and Jen are very responsive. I can't recommend Terrain Clinic highly enough!

Kyra Daniel 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: It is rare to find a doctor who is warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable all in one. It is also so important to find a doctor who can guide us intellectually, emotionally and practically during this global health crisis. Dr. Galante is that Doctor. I can not overstate how warm her spirit is- she is patient, kind, and able to hold her patients' concerns in a deeply nurturing way. If you are looking for a doctor who will not quickly push you out of her/his office, or make you feel as though your questions and concerns are irrelevant or inconsequential, then please try Dr. Galante. She is not going to make you feel anything less than listened to and heard. He is incredibly knowledgeable about her field and her craft. You will not only feel as though you are in good hands, she will also ensure that you are learning how to take better care of yourself. This is a moment to be in contact with a good doctor. You will find that good doctor at Terrain Clinic.

I am constantly in awe of the incredible breadth and depth of knowledge Dr. Galante holds, and on top of her medical and scientific acumen, she is also caring, kind, and patient. Dr. Galante digs until you get to the root of any health concerns, and addresses them based on holistic testing and approaches. I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Galante and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a detailed, thorough, scientifically-minded ND.

Laurie Nelson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr. Galante at the Terrain Clinic has been excellent. We have been working for about a year to resolve 2 auto immune conditions, one of which is very difficult, and have made steady progress. Dr. Galante is responsive, kind and deeply knowledgeable. If she doesn't know the answer to a question, she researches it and gets back to me with an answer or option. It is reassuring to work with a medically trained naturopathic doctor who is able to customize a natural approach that takes my entire health history into account. The work we have done together has given me hope that "incurable" simply means western medicine does not have all of the answers. I highly recommend Dr. Galante.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Boyd was instrumental in helping me balance my hormones. I was gaining weight, having problem falling asleep and feeling stressed over nothing. He knew exactly what vitamins I needed to take to provide balance. I am down 17 pounds, no issues falling asleep and no longer feeling like chaos. He also let me know up front he wasn’t going to waste my money with visits that weren’t needed or run tests that weren’t needed...he kept his promise! I am grateful to have found Terrain, will continue to visit as my body changes and can’t recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to have been refered by a trusted friend several years back and I have been singing Dr. Robert Boyd's praises ever since. He is THE BEST! He is very knowledgable, caring, supportive and thorough.No two patients are the same and what is impressive is that he always takes so much time with you and customizes every treatment for the individual. He has helped me and my children with everything from gut issues, to ezcema, to thyroid disease, ADHD and much more. I am always grateful for his help and appreciate that he thinks outside the box when most traditional doctors have written my problems off as normal. He has given me back energy and quality of life that no one else did. Whenever I have ANY concern, Dr. Boyd is always my goto source and he has never let me down. Wouldn't go to anyone else. I am very grateful to him. THANKS DR. BOYD!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough kind words about my experience with Dr. Galante and Terrain Clinic. I sought Dr. Galante’s help when I was ready to try conceiving my second child. I have PCOS and conceived my first child through the help of Metformin but was adamant that I not take this medication this time around after learning more about potential negative side effects. When my former OB/GYN diagnosed me with PCOS, she gave me the prescription, gave me a hand out about an extremely low carb diet, and recommended that I lose 10 pounds. I am tall and naturally thin and have been a healthy weight all my life, and the restrictive diet was just not realistic for me. Dr. Galante’s approach was completely different. In our initial visit she asked tons of questions about my diet, my energy levels, my menstrual cycle, my mood, etc. The conversation felt very natural, and I felt like Dr. G was truly invested in me and my health. We did a comprehensive hormone panel, and when she walked me through the results I had a much better understanding of my specific type of PCOS and how my hormones were impacting my health. Through small lifestyle and dietary adjustments and a few supplements, I was able to improve my energy levels and mood, and most importantly conceive my 2nd child without any prescription drugs. We have just entered the second trimester, and baby and I are both doing great! Dr. Galante is so caring, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to any women looking to improve their health or trying to conceive.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Galante for over a year now. She helped me rebalance my health when traditional doctors could not. She is a good listener and explained my results to me in a way that I could understand. She took the time to review all the details. I wish I met her years ago. I would highly recommend her if you looking to get to the bottom of what is going on with your health.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Galante is a great doctor and listener. I went in with tons of questions and inquiries toward my health and how to take control my body and being able to heal it. She responds quickly with ideas, suggestions and supplements that adjust to my lifestyle and budget. In addition, I really like that she does not pressure her patients on getting a lot of supplements and she advices on when to stop using them. I look forward to continue my treatment with her and highly recommend Terrain Clinic and her to anyone that wants to take control of their health.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Dr. Robert Boyd. He's a great teacher! Just a wonderful Doctor! I came to him to improve my health after a botched medical procedure and was treated by regular doctors who know nothing about nutrition and health other than writing prescriptions. I came to heal with Dr. R. Boyd through my acupuncturist. He is helping me overcome my infections and get healthy in my gut microbiome. I am learning from him and he is teaching me how to improve my health naturally through food and supplements. I was always into natural healing. I learn each time I visit Dr. Boyd and he explains things in detail to me. I am already feeling better each month. I highly recommend Dr. Boyd because he doesn't order tons of tests to find out what is wrong with your body. He diagnosed the problem right away and treats you with his supplements, food recommendations and vitamins to heal naturally. They are working daily!

Derilyn Freeman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rob and the Terrain Clinic are exactly how you imagine real doctors are when you’re a little kid: Very smart people who listen and create a plan to heal you. As we all learn, most doctors or medical centers do not focus on learning about you, listening or even healing you. You have 15 minutes for vitals to be checked and a prescription to be written.That was my experience after a surgery and I was told to check back in 6 months to “see if I was good” or not... I met with Dr. Rob to find out if there was any opportunity for me to play a more active role in my own health instead of just waiting around with my fingers crossed and I learned there was! I am so grateful for having met Dr. Rob and highly recommend him for anyone who takes their wellness seriously and wants to heal.

Julie S 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Galante is an excellent physician. I highly recommend her, particularly for patients with difficult health challenges. Having experienced very complex health problems over many years, I have come across numerous doctors, very few of whom were helpful. Dr. Galante is one of the most intelligent and caring physicians I have seen. Every time I have had an appointment with her, she has presented me with new and thoughtful suggestions that have overall greatly improved my condition. When one of my health issues was out of Dr. Galante’s range of expertise, she put in extra effort to find another medical professional who was also excellent in her specialty and very helpful to me. Dr. Galante is one of the brightest physicians you will find, goes above and beyond for her patients, and is a pleasure to work with. If you are suffering with a difficult medical problem, I highly recommend a visit with her.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Boyd is the best. He is very smart and humble which is a rare combination. He helps untangle the root cause of your issue and prescribes what is necessary for the body to help heal itself. I love that he uses evidenced-based approaches rather than jumping on the latest treatment fad. He analyzed my blood work for nutritional deficits and appropriate thyroid levels. I would recommend Dr. Boyd and the Terrain Clinic.
