I consulted Dr. Ries soon after my husband was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer. I have been interested in a holistic approach to health for the past 20 years and have reached out to MD’s, ND’s, and other healthcare professionals for my own health needs. I firmly believe that my husband will do better with whatever treatments he undergoes for his cancer if his primary care is integrated with support from the wider healthcare community. Dr. Ries made diet, supplement, and IV therapy recommendations for us to include as we move forward with my husband’s treatments. She also helped me identify naturopathic physicians closer to our home. Dr. Ries’s friendly, but very professional support in a time of great need was much appreciated.

I have been under the care of Darcy Ries ND for well over two years. At this time in my life, when normal functioning seems to be failing me, Dr. Ries is my rock, and fortunately my primary care physician under my current insurance! She is devoted not only to her profession, but to each of her patients, if my care is any indication of that holistic approach. I am so grateful to her for taking the time to communicate her resources, alternative treatment, and collegue-recommended experiences. ALL have changed my overall health for the better, moreso than any previous Western or alternative practitioner. I would and have highly recommended Dr. Ries to steer one onto a path of mindful, meaningful and purposeful peak health.

When you receive a treatment from Dr. Ries you are in caring, healing hands.
