Melissa Altman, RN, CFMP, CCWFN: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I don't usually take the time to write reviews but Melissa Altman was wonderful at our first visit. She was an encouragement and didn't make me feel rushed at all. She took her time with me and walked me through any questions I had. I will be going back!
Leeann, Thank you for your great review. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Melissa Altman. She is helping me fill in the gaps in my health that traditional approaches often overlook. Melissa takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach and truly listens. Her knowledge of functional medicine, combined with her ability to personalize supplement and lifestyle recommendations, is making a significant difference in how I feel day to day. What sets her apart is her attention to detail and her commitment to getting to the root cause rather than just addressing symptoms. I feel more informed, more supported, and more confident in my health decisions because of her guidance. If you’re looking for someone who is thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your long-term wellness, I highly recommend Melissa.
Thank you, Melissa! I’m excited for the opportunity to work with you and help you meet your health potential.
Fantastic experience: Melissa has helped both me & my wife many times over the years. We each have very different medical issues & nutritional needs. Melissa has helped us navigate through the confusion that can accompany medical care. With her help, we have been able to reduce some of the medications we were taking & we feel better! That’s a plus for sure. It helps greatly that she is educated in “both sides” of medicine … natural & modern.
Walter, it’s a pleasure to be able to help you. Thank you so much for your review!

Heather, Thank you for your comments. It's a pleasure to be able to help people who are looking for a root cause approach to their health.
Fantastic experience: I had my initial consultation yesterday, and it was the most thorough visit I’ve ever had. Even though it was just one session, it felt like a deep dive into everything that’s going on with my health. Melissa was very knowledgeable and customized the entire experience to me personally. I could tell she genuinely cares, not just about a specific concern, but about me as a whole person. It was detailed, thoughtful, and truly reassuring.
Hayan, Thank you for your kind words. It’s my pleasure to work with and support you in your journey.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Melissa has been exceptional. Following cancer treatment I found myself on a downward spiral and did not feel my concerns were addressed by my health care team. In a very short timeframe, I am headed in the right direction and am so grateful. Melissa is highly competent, professional, and efficient .
Thank you so much, Miriam!!! It’s a pleasure working with you.
Fantastic experience: Melissa is so thorough and takes time with you. Her knowledge is top notch and I trust her completely with my issues.
Thank you, Lily!!!
Fantastic experience: We love Melissa!! She's helped our family optimize our health and find hidden areas where we didn't even know we needed to improve, but our bloodwork showed it. She's gentle, wise, and kind in her guidance. She knows her stuff, and is willing to put in the time to research and educated herself whenever she doesn't know something. She diagnosed my Lyme disease after 15 years of doctors visits when nobody else could. She then took it upon herself to spend hours upon hours reading books to learn how to treat Lyme naturally with herbs. She put her heart and soul into helping me heal. I cannot recommend Melissa enough.
Thank you so much, Sarah!!! It's a pleasure to work with you and your sweet family. I'm very grateful for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I have known Melissa over 20 years and she has helped me over the years with many medical issues. She is the most knowledgeable and caring health professional I know. She is helping my husband , my son and I through some medical issues now as well as addressing some nutrient deficiencies. It is making a big difference in our overall health. She’s the absolute best and truly cares about her patients!
Thank you so much, Julie! I’m so glad I’ve able to help you guys
Fantastic experience: Melissa helped me figure out the cause of my 4 year old son’s frequent fevers and he has now been over a year without being sick once! Will be forever grateful.
Thank you, Ansley! My pleasure always
Fantastic experience: My experience working with Melissa has been incredible! She has listened, helped, and educated me through treatment and has such a warm energy that is so helpful (and rare in "conventional" medicine settings) when dealing with health issues. 5/5 stars and would certainly recommend to a friend :)
Natalie, thank you so much!!! It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you
Fantastic experience: I have been a very happy patient of Melissa's since 1/2020. She is extremely knowledgeable and listens to my concerns. She gently guides me to improve the areas in my health that need a push. Our goal has been to keep me healthy with supplements and nutrition...no pharmaceuticals. She seamlessly integrated with my Doctor from Michigan and definitely enhanced my results. I am a 71 year old woman and my Medicare Rep tells me I am one of the few clients she has not needing any prescriptions. She is my best health partner ever.
Kathy, thank you so much!!! It’s a true joy & pleasure to work with you

Fantastic experience: Melissa is excellent. She does a great job of getting to the root of your issue instead just of masking symptoms. She is thorough with her tests, open minded and encouraging. She always responds to questions quickly and will work with you to keep costs as low as possible. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much, Justus! I’ve really enjoyed working with you and your family
Fantastic experience: I have been Melissa’s patient since she started practicing. She’s been great at identifying the root causes of my health issues that have come about from time to time and developing the best game plans to correct those issues. I’m pretty healthy for a 75 year old man and Melissa plays a major role in helping me maintain my good health. Thank you Melissa!
Thank you so much, Ron! You’re definitely a health minority and it’s a pleasure to be a part of helping to keep you that way.

Thank you, Megan!!!
Fantastic experience: Melissa is such a blessing to have in my life. She is so knowledgeable and has helped me and my family tremendously to better our lives. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Thank you, Laurel!!! Y’all are such a joy to work with.
Fantastic experience: Melissa is the most caring professional I know. She really listens to what your body is gong through and makes recommendations according to your individual needs. There is no one size fits all approach here and I believe that she is being guided by the Holy Spirit and using a common sense approach to holistic medicine. Combining conventional and holistic medicine is a rarity that is coming into the mainstream but it has been a slow journey that is well worth the time and effort for those of us who wish for a more individual experience. Her brutal honesty and common sense is refreshingly appropriate for what our bodies are going through and appreciated by many. May God continue to bless her with the knowledge and grit she will need to continue the good fight.
Thank you, Donna!!! I’m grateful for your support .
Fantastic experience: Melissa is great! She has a different approach to medicine, which encourages wellness through healthy lifestyle and dietary changes that are 100% effective.
Thank you, Wesley!!! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with you.
Fantastic experience: Melissa is a true gift! She has helped me tremendously over the years with diet, supplementation and natural restoration of my hormones. I feel younger and more vibrant today than I did 10 years ago thanks to the knowledge and expertise she has provided.
Thank you, Lindsay! It’s been a pleasure working with you.
