Im sorry but whoever runs their front desk does a horrible job. I called and emailed numerous times over the past month with not even so much as a reply. The dr seems like he would be very helpful if the office would ever get back to you. Very dissapointing.

I wish I could delete the review I wrote before. I acted out of anger because I thought this doctor made me worse when actually I was just sicker than anyone thought and couldn’t process the medication that I probably needed. I called him a charlatan and said he was only interested in money and then he shocked me and went above and beyond and actually refunded the entire amount I paid him. Having brain autoimmune disease made me a very a difficult and angry person and I directed my anger at this doctor who actually was just trying to help me and who actually acted in a very gracious and selfless way even after I totally freaked out on him. Not only do I wish I could retract my previous hateful review but I also hope I don’t deter anyone from seeking him help and knowledge. I actually originally called him because I was so impressed with his knowledge on autoimmune diseases and the brain through watching his YouTube videos. Unfortunately my liver and organs are so weak and I was already on such a downward spiral that though he tried it was hard to help me. However on numerous occasions he really did surpass my expectations and I feel very sad and uncomfortable that I left such a negative review. I hope webmd reads this and takes down my previous review because he truly does not deserve it.

This was the worst doctor I ever had the misfortune to work with. Being a super sensitive patient he put me on a ton of supplements and 15 homeopathic remedies! Told me to get a mold medicine from my primary doctor and he would send a test which he never did!! I would email him showing him pictures of my hair falling out (I have alopecia, hashimotos, brain autoimmune and vitiligo) he would just ignore my questions. I finally got so fed up with when I asked him if he had ever worked with anyone with autoimmune brain disease and he just ignored. When I told him I didn’t want to work with him anymore because I just got worse he just sent me back an email telling me to book a 45 minute consultation so we could switch directions. This doctor is a total charlatan just looking to take your money. Pls beware!!!

Prior to coming to Dr. Kan I was experiencing brain fog, headaches, extreme fatigue which caused me to fall asleep in the afternoon in addition to an inability to sleep through the night. I also had stomach ache and bloating. All of these symptoms began impacting my ability to focus at work as well as overall active lifestyle and I knew I needed to do something as previous doctors were not of any help, telling me I had no problems. After attending one of Dr. Kan’s evening sessions I scheduled time to meet with him and learn how he might be of help.

During my initial visit Dr. Kan took the time to listen, a very rare occurrence in this medical day and age, and explain what steps we might take to identify root causes to my issues. I walked away with hope. After six months in the program and having learned I had leaky gut, issues with wheat germ as well as a circadian rhythm that was completely reverse of what it should be. I can say that the investment was well worth it. Yes, it is an investment. Not only for my health today but also well into the future. I no longer have any of the symptoms that I came in with, which is incredible. I sleep well at night, am able to maintain focus at work like I was unable to do previously, I no longer have the gas and bloating and have an overall increased level of energy and wellbeing. Dr. Kan was able to identify the root causes and along with his wonderful and caring staff partnered with me to educate and ensure that I am well prepared to maintain the course. For that I am so very grateful!

My journey with Dr. Kan at Hope Integrated Wellness Center and his staff started back in 2012. After years of battling with hashimotos without any success I sought out a more natural approach to finding the cause of my autoimmune instead of just throwing pills at it, because truly the meds were not getting me anywhere. I was suffering from extreme fatigue, headaches, weight gain, hair loss, skin issues, chronic stomach issues, and was just not enjoying life like I used to. Up until finding Dr. Kan, I went to my PCP, several top endocrinologists all to here the same thing over and over again for 10 plus years, "I don't know why you feel bad, your labs are normal". Lets just increase your synthroid dose. I was taking 175mcg of synthroid prior to finding Dr Kan.
When I started seeing Dr. Kan in 2012 we started out with finding the root cause with blood work, stool testing, saliva testing and a full neurological exam. We found my main food triggers to be gluten and dairy. I started a 6 month treatment program that included a 1 month long food detox, leaky gut diet, chiropractic adjustments and brain based therapy. These treatments saved my life!!!!!
As of today I continue to follow a gluten and dairy free diet, and I exercise 5-6 days a week ( and I love it ). My weight is steady, I have so much more energy than before, rarely have headaches, and my skin issues have completely resolved. I continue to see Dr Kan 1-2 times per year to have my labs checked and make sure everything is still in line.
Oh and did I mention, so far I have been able to stay off thyroid meds!!!!!! I do take a few healthy supplements from Dr. Kan and will continue to do so. Finding Dr. Kan and his staff was the best thing to happen in my life. I am truly happy and healthy again!!!!
THANK YOU DR. KAN!!!!!!!

For the last 20 years I have suffered with various ailments such as fatigue, constipation, swelling of extremities, weight gain, brittle nails, hair loss, dry skin, and muscle aches and pains. I have seen a number of doctors through those years and have been told I just need to exercise more and eat less. Finally, about 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and began medication. Unfortunately, my symptoms never went away. And, then, I finally found “HOPE” through the aptly named Hope Integrative Wellness Center. Dr. Peter Kan and his friendly staff give personalized and attentive care which leads to favorable results. It’s wonderful to have a doctor who listens and works with you. I finally have energy and can walk 6 1/2 miles with no pain. This is tremendous as I could only walk ¼ of a mile when I began to see Dr. Kan. My pain level has reduced about 75%. I have lost 40 pounds enjoying food and feeling satiated, and constipation is a thing of the past. Thank you Dr. Kan!

Dr. Kan and his staff are amazing! I went to him with symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog and many more that had been going on for years. No other doctor had been able to fix these issues. Dr. Kan works hard to get to the root of the problem. After going through his treatment, I feel like a whole new person! My symptoms have all been relieved and I lost 45lbs! His staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kan!

For several decades I have been suffering from severe, debilitating neck and back pain as well as reflux and chronic stomach and abdominal pain. Over the years I consulted with different physicians and underwent many different treatments only to come out with no relieve, and often worse. Treatments consisted of oral steroids, muscle relaxers, injections into the neck and spine, nerve ablation, and even chemo therapy.

There was little quality of life for me as every little task was difficult because of pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and chronic fatigue. As a registered nurse, my work was difficult and often impossible from always feeling ill.

I had decided my state was going to be for the rest of my life. My boyfriend (a pharmacist) showed me an ad in the local newspaper about a workshop given by a doctor who specializes in autoimmune diseases.

What did I have to lose but a couple of hours of my time?

When my boyfriend and I attended Dr. Kan’s workshop, we were both very delighted and impressed by his knowledge about so many things that no one else had ever addressed.

I started therapy after being thoroughly tested physically, completing lab work, and providing samples. When all test results were available, Dr. Kan would meet with me and adjust any treatments necessary. The nutritionist met with me often to follow up on my needs and progress. Physical therapists were always available for any questions. The office staff is courteous and knowledgeable.

Dr. Kan has helped reduce the severity of my symptom and pain after a few months of treatment. I no longer have to spend all day in a reclined position or near a toilet.

This is the best investment I have made for my health and I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kan.

I'm a 62 year old female who was having lifelong issues of weight control, hormonal issues, depression, chronic pain and inflammation throughout my body, lethargy, concentration & comprehension, memory recall (brain fog),and a more recent issue of hand tremors. An evaluation and treatment from a neurologist, a year earlier for the hand tremors, resulted in a subscription for clonazepam. Great, just what I didn’t need, another prescription pill. While it took the tremors away, it left me in a haze and tired all the time. I had resigned myself to living out my life in a manner that prevented me from enjoying life in every capacity. All my prior doctors seemed to do is manage a condition. I was always looking for resolution and not another pill! That was until I happened to read an advertisement about Dr. Kan in a local newspaper about a free clinic explaining hormone & thyroid issues. I called and was able to get into the next available class (they fill up fast!) After attending the seminar, going through the initial exam, reading the material provided, and some mind/soul searching, I decided that this was the plan for me. Dr. Kan’s explanations (and whiteboard drawings) appealed to my senses and understanding. He is very knowledgeable on the entire systems in the body, I learned the most from him on the interaction of the brain & digestive systems. No other doctor ever took this approach…getting to the root of the problem.

My program involved a 6 month long treatment plan. My life slowly changed and flourished under the care of Dr. Kan and his staff. There was extensive physical and blood testing after which my own personal plan was devised. Repairing my leaky gut, detoxing, and outlining a new way to eat (basically clean & green) were the biggest help for me. The tests determined that I had allergies and sensitivities that I was unaware of and I learned how these affected my autoimmune system. I agree that his plan is not for everybody but it was the plan for me and made a remarkable difference in my life. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Kan and his staff as they were with me every step of the way. They become your family and along with the encouragement, suggestions, compassion, understanding, and assistance given during weekly visits, they also, give hugs!! I always felt that I mattered and was valued.

They were available to answer questions via the website which was very helpful but a phone call was always an option too. They have a remarkable site that they can help you track your food and daily intake which is monitored by both the staff and Dr. Kan. They have an excellent response time whatever mode of communication you choose. In my aftercare, I tune into the weekly AskDrKan Show when I can…still learning things from him! Also, I love watching The Mix with Dr. Kan & Shelby, new recipes, informative, and humorous.

So, now I’m a 62 year old woman enjoying life, who travels, hikes, exercises, eats well and has found cooking as a new hobby! I’m eagerly looking forward to a vacation with my daughter & granddaughters exploring New York City. I have no misgivings in keeping up with them.

Throughout life we all make investments. This time, I made an investment into myself! It was worth every penny! A shout out and big thank you to everyone at Hope Integrative Wellness Center!

Before I find out about Dr. Peter kan and Hope Integrative Wellness Center I was having inflammation all over my body. I had pain in my joins. I was suffering for a very intense fatigue, brain frog, depression, insomnia, despite me been eating healthy I was gaining weight every month about one to two pounds. On top of that my hair was falling off and I got Alopecia. Over all it was a feeling that I wasn’t at my best. It just wasn’t “me” anymore. I went to my regular doctors and they couldn’t find what was wrong with me. That was very frustrating. At one time I found Dr. Kan talking on facebook and it called my attention that he focused on the root cause of the problem instead of treating the symptoms. The information he provided was very educative and mind opening so I decided to go to his free workshop and get more information. After my first visit with Dr. Kan he ordered a detailed lab work and when he get the results he spend over an hour going over every single detail and answered all my questions. Following his program had changed my life. The pain is gone. I sleep all through the night and wake up full of energy. I had stop gaining weight and lost some pounds. My hair is growing back. Thanks Dr. Kan and his beautiful staff for helping me getting my health back!
