Balanced Well-Being Healthcare

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi, Kara, Nicole, Bailey and Ella are all awesome. Dr. Alessi is the only physician that has taken the time, concern and expertise to get to the bottom of multiple interwoven inflammatory medical issues while providing me support while expecting me to be accountable for my lifestyle actions. Both have made a trermendous difference in my overall health and well-being. Thank you team!! Lorene B

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Alessi for several years and she’s helped with many things. Most recently, she noticed my calcium was elevated & recommended I get my parathyroid hormone checked as well. Based on those test results along with other medical history, she diagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism. She then suggested I reach out to the Norman Parathyroid Center in Florida for a second opinion. After their review of my medical records and symptoms, they recommended surgery. Dr. Alessi looks at so many more things than your typical primary care physician does. I went to Florida recently for the surgery at the Norman Parathyroid Center where they removed three of my four overactive parathyroid glands. I already feel more energy & less restless sleep! So thankful for Dr. Alessi!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Alessi since 2013 and she's an incredible and integral part of my health and support system. She cares deeply about her patients, spends quality time with you, and has a deep and vast level of knowledge. She has improved my overall health tremendously, with specific work in the areas of mood, hormones, diet and nutritional and supplemental support. I have increased energy, reduced headaches, increased mood & sleep and increased internal/gut health. I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Alessi!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi spent a lot of time talking with me, looking at test results, and explaining her approach. The treatments she recommended have been helping me a lot. I have struggled with my health issues (and seen other docs) for over three years and it is nice -- no, wonderful -- to finally see some improvement. I am very grateful to Dr. Alessi.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Alessi for a few months now and I am so happy and grateful I found her! On my initial visit she was incredibly thorough with my medical history, current concerns and issues and was the first functional medicine doctor who ran significant tests to really figure out what was going on with me! She was able to identify and explain the disfunction going on in my body currently that is causing all sorts of symptoms and we are working together to heal my gut and inflammation issues. Dr Alessi is attentive, patient and encouraging and really cares. I cannot say enough good things about her or her team at Balanced Well Being!

Negative experience: Grace does not care about her clients or any clients of her practice for that matter. I would advise you do not pay for services in advance as they will not stand behind what you paid for. I also advise you have clear communication with whomever you work with as they might just up and leave, leaving you as a client stuck in the middle of their petty drama. With the prices Grace charges, you would expect better service and care. This is a health and well-being business, right?

Fantastic experience: Great experience! What a different point of view!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, helpful and full attention to my issues. Professional.

Fantastic experience: I have had an excellent experience at the office of Dr. Alessi. It is refreshing to feel heard and cared for in a medical office. Dr. Alessi, and all her associates, are professional, knowledgeable, caring and thoughtful as they strive to heal everyone who walks through their door. I am finally feeling good after many years of feeling poorly. THIS is how medicine is supposed to be practiced. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you aren’t getting answers from conventional medicine and continue to feel poorly, go visit the team at Balanced Well-Being! It is like getting hooked up to a fire hose, but I promise, it will change your life in such a positive way forever. So knowledgeable, kind and genuine. These ladies have helped me feel great!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi is very detailed oriented. 2.5hr consultation! She definitely knows her stuff. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Getting frustrated with today's standard of care that treats symptoms and not the underlying root cause of your problem? This functional medicine team goes beyond standard of care to discover and treat the underlying cause of the problem...very satisfied so far....I finally know what's going on and have a prescription...treatment and diet plan.

Fantastic experience: So lucky to have found this amazing practice. The entire staff is incredibly kind, friendly and highly knowledgeable and competent. The time, thoroughness and thought that goes into care here is unheard of. Worth every cent as I have seen remarkable results in my overall health since first seeing them only a few months ago. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: This describes me before seeing Dr. Grace Alessi. For three years, I had no energy, experienced brain fog, leaky gut, hormone imbalance, toxic metals in my system and I was extremely moody (my poor hubby!) A friend of mine recommended Grace and told me that she would knock that stuff out of my system in no time! Although Grace is a medical doctor, she does not believe “this” symtom plus “that” symptom automatically equals a certain medicine. She knows we are all different individuals and she gets to the heart of the matter. Today I have so much energy. I’m clear thinking. My leaky gut is so much better. My hormones are balanced. All of that has lifted my mood AND I have a happy hubby. I highly recommend Dr. Grace Alessi!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely have loved my experiences with Balanced Well-Being. I am beyond blessed for the people and what this office has done for my health and my life. It is a true investment in yourself to put your health first. The approach that Balanced Well-being follows will help you reach your best health and best self. Whether it is extensive like mine was or maybe a basic work up, I recommend this office over and over. I will continue to work with them as we keep reaching for optimal health! I am so very grateful! Thank you Balanced Well-Being!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Allesi is very thorough and takes time answering my questions. Her plan to sort out the problems are very well laid out and I feel confident that I will see good results.

Fantastic experience: What a gift to have an experience that well exceeds your expectations. Over a period of less than 4 months, I was continually treated with respect and support while being treated for symptoms that left me feeling hopeless. I am grateful to say that I was heard and the advice given to me gave me the health and results I only hoped for. Thanks you to the entire staff and taking the time to care. I would highly recommend Balanced Well Being Healthcare to those who are looking for a supportive team to help you feel better.

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and a great place to go if you want to figure out what’s going on with you or just optimize your health in general.

Fantastic experience: They are very thorough with their health testing and provide a complete picture of your health. The supplements they use to balance the body are top quality. This is a great place to go if you are looking to get a deeper look into your body's well being

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi is the best doctor I’ve had for many years, and I’ve had a lot of doctors. It makes a huge difference to have a doctor who doesn’t just look at a part of me, but considers the whole picture. I have complicated medical issues and I have been harmed by careless doctors who don’t or can’t consider the whole picture. Dr Alessi has both a broad and applied understanding of cellular biochemistry and she has the ability to pull together seemingly disconnected information to make sense of the clinical picture. Her treatment recommendations are individualized for my situation and don’t come out of some pharmaceutical recipe book. I was feeling very hopeless about my declining health and now I think I’m finally on the right path to substantial improvement, and even recovery. In addition, all of Dr Alessi’s staff are also competent and caring people. I’m really grateful that Dr Alessi and her staff are providing this kind of care!

Fantastic experience: BWB Healthcare is not only the most comprehensive and thorough care I’ve ever received; it’s the most professional. Sometimes a patient sacrifices personable health care for state of the art professionalism. One receives both at BWB Healthcare-from the welcoming space, to the kindness and approachability of Dr Alessi and her entire staff. More than ample time is given to educate each patient in a manner that lends itself to a greater understanding and participation in one’s own healthcare. I’ve never before felt the freedom to just pick up the phone and have my questions answered— the staff is friendly, well versed in the mission, and amazing! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to understand some of the science and take action for my well being with the cutting edge blend of holistic medicine that Dr Alessi offers our community.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi has been a huge help getting my nutritional status back on track. She is very knowledgeable and stays current on the latest research and new information coming out. Her willingness to problem solve and figure out what works for you is a breath of fresh air. She is also humble enough to say she doesn't have all the answers and is willing to research more, which in my experience is not common in the health care field but very needed. I wouldn't be where I am today health wise without her and her entire team. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding care and staff is amazing. Until I came to Balanced Well Being, I spent 4 years getting sicker with no answers to the cause of my worsening health. Now not only do I have the cause, but also a solution. Thank you all so much for giving me back my quality of life!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to report that after years of stomach issues, I am feeeling like I got a second chance at life. I was so sick for so long that this illness controlled my life. I came to the clinic with an inch thick stack of test results from the G.I. Doctors. I did the required tests and the program that was designed for me based on those results and in just 3 months I felt like a new person. The staff was so knowledgeable and efficient. I am so grateful to their ability to think outside the box. The cost for me was less than I had paid for the antibiotics that had been ordered by my former G.I. Dr. I can’t say enough good things about the program. Thank you for your help and care.

Fantastic experience: They are 5 star! Dr.Alessi and her staff truly care about my wellbeing. They are absolutely professional, credible and friendly! I recommend everyone see her, if they can. I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been since seeing her 4 and half years now! You can not put a price on heath and she is well worth the expense, which really is nothing compared to seeing doctors that only have 10-15 minutes to treat you and honestly they don't have the nutritional knowledge. It may be covered by insurance but the quality of care is just not there in my humble opinion. I am absolutely getting quality and quantity with Dr. Grace! I could only dream that she never retire!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Everyone in the office is very nice and seem very caring.

Fantastic experience: Before I came to see Dr Allesi I had been to multiple physicians who told me there was nothing wrong, that I could do nothing about my symptoms or keep myself from getting worse. One physician even told me “It is all in your head and if you get bad enough then we will have something to work with.” That is when I knew I had to do something different. I wanted to find a physician who would listen to me and really get to the root of my concerns. Dr Allesi has done just that and more. Her staff is excellent as well, always friendly and helpful. I feel better now than I have in years and Dr Allesi continues to investigate, support and treat as appropriate. I have found the missing piece to my health at Balanced Well Being.

Fantastic experience: If you want to take charge of your health you need Dr. Grace Alessi and her team. Get a personal, accurate, do-able health plan that increases vitality and allows your body to heal itself based on comprehensive lab tests. I have been a patient of theirs for over 5 years. My husband has just finished the 4-visit package that included 2 appts each with Meghan Anderson, RNP, and nutritionist Ella. He feels they listened to him & explained lab results and the nutritional & supplement plan made for him very clearly. He is off his GERD med, has lost 10 pounds & feels great!

Fantastic experience: The value of Balanced Wellbeing is so high, especially compared to conventional care. If you really want to get to the root of your health issues and live a higher quality of life, go now. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: After 2+ years of going to specialist after specialist and only being able to control my sons symptoms with prescription medications we decided another approach was necessary! We have never looked back. Dr. Alessi has searched to find the root causes of his colitis and healed him. He rarely has to go on prescription medications and she monitors his condition so that we are on top of any flare up. Grace has restored his health and given him back control of his life! I couldn’t recommend her more!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi, Megan, Ella, Kara, and Nicole are awesome! This approach to health is life changing. My family and I are forever grateful!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi is incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. She has an amazing grasp on the human body and doesn’t give up until she gets to the root cause of your issues. She is dedicated, passionate and personable! I would recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Alessi and her office. Traditional medicine told me I was just a tired mom. Grace helped uncover deeper medical issues, treated them, and helped set me up for success. Ella walked me through a nutritional plan specific for my body and my genetics. After trying so many other plans unsuccessfully on my own, I have lost 40 pounds over the last 6 months under her guidance. I feel so much better, have so much more energy, and feel like this was the best investment in my future health. This team of professionals has been life changing for me!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Balanced Well-Being Healthcare for the last 3 years and it has completely changed my life! I’ve been dealing with an auto-immune condition, hormone imbalance and gut issues, and have found so much healing through this office! The entire staff genuinely cares for each patient, and whether it’s a visit with Dr. Grace, Ella or picking up supplements, I always feel so heard and supported. I highly recommend Balanced Well-Being Healthcare to anyone looking for a functional approach to health!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Alessi is an amazing clinician, and I am so thankful that I decided to go see her. Tests that she ran uncovered a previously undiagnosed auto-immune problem that conventional testing hadn't. After following the treatment plan she prescribed for just six months, I've already had great improvement. Dr. Alessi takes time to get to know her patients, and she's invested in getting to the root causes of my problems, not just treating the symptoms. To really get well is a partnership between doctor and patient. As a patient, I had to make a lot of changes to what I eat and stick with it; thankfully, the good results are really motivational. Lastly, the whole office staff is friendly, responsive, and super helpful. Going to Dr. Alessi was one of the best health decisions I've ever made.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Grace and her team for the past three years. My health has improved dramatically during this time. I understand my health issues better than ever because Dr Alessi and her team take the time to explain everything to me in terms I can understand. I highly recommend Balanced Well-Being Healthcare.

Fantastic experience: After suffering from gut-related problems for the better half of a decade, I was feeling defeated and dismissed by the medical community. I remember thinking I wished I could find a doctor who would listen to me and could leverage both Eastern and Western practices—enter Functional Medicine with Dr. Grace Alessi and Ella Ringdahl Soderholm. These two women are especially skilled in medicine and nutrition and actively take time to listen, validate, explain what they're seeing and how to fix it. Using a combination of testing, medicine, herbs, food, and education to heal, I was finally able to obtain and understand a diagnosis (SIBO), gain insight into how it occurred, receive coaching and support through using a natural, custom regiment of foods and herbs to eliminate my symptoms, and I finally FEEL GOOD. Thank you Dr. Alessi and Ella for all you've done for me. Your approach is the definition of Holistic Care and so much more!

Fantastic experience: What a refreshing change in western medical philosophy. Dr. Alessi and her team take the time to find the source of illness and then work with you through diet and supplements to give your body what it needs to heal itself. I have suffered from auto-immune like symptoms for over 10 years. My tests would always come back "normal" so other practitioners had few answers. Dr. Alessi spent a tremendous amount of time with me to understand my concerns. I felt like someone finally believed me that there were issues. The in depth testing is incredible and showed the root of my problem. Dr. Alessi was able to explain the direct correlation between my symptoms and what my body was lacking. I am now on a path to healing with a diet and a detailed supplement regiment that is giving my body exactly what it needs, naturally. If you haven't found answers, do yourself a favor and give them a call.

Fantastic experience: I came to Dr. Alessi only 8-weeks ago. Conventional medicine hadn't given me answers to the multiple symptoms I had experienced for the last 17+ years. When I first met with Dr. Alessi, she spent so much time sitting with me to hear the very depths of my health journey and struggle. I felt such hope for the first time in years. She gave me a food and supplement protocol that made sense instead of just treating me with more medicine for my symptoms. I can tell that Dr. Alessi and Ella really enjoy what they do as the puzzle pieces (labs) start falling into place to answer questions about why my body is doing what it's doing. Every time I walk into this office, I feel excited. My symptoms are becoming less and less. I haven't felt this good in years. I would recommend this office to ANYONE and EVERYONE that feel stuck and hopeless. You don't have another day to waste feeling this bad. Make an appointment!

Fantastic experience: Dr Grace is an exceptional clinician! She spends one on one time getting to know you, discussing your health challenges, and seeking the source of the problem. I've never had a doctor spend so much time with me. She has a deep understanding of how all the systems of the body affect one another, so she can often find answers to problems that other doctors brush off as "part of getting older." She educates you about the cause of your disease, and how you can treat it with a combination of lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and sometimes pharmaceutical treatments. After seeing her, I feel like I am in the best health of my life.
