I started with Dr.Gourdine for therapy services but after discussing my concerns of insomnia and acne, I went forward with her functional
Medicine recommendations. I’m glad I did as I’ve had a positive outcome after completing the specialized tests and following her treatment plan for me.. I would recommend her 100%

Dr Gourdine helped me overcome feeling tired, having difficulty sleeping and feeling somewhat depressed. She helped me with Functional Medicine, always explained what she was exploring and why, what supplements would help me and why. I'm very happy with her work and how I feel now!

I am in Dr. Gourdine care for the last 4 years, during this time she literally saved my life.
Suffering from acute Diabetic nervous complications i was admitted at the Hackensack Hospital for observations, for some strange reason they decided to change my usual medications, my situation got worse and i slept in a coma,
Dr Gourdine came to see me and decided to stop taking all the medications prescribed by the hospital and go back to the medications i took when i was home, within two days i was back on my feet and discharged from the hospital.
in my humble opinion Dr. Gourdine is a very knowledgeable and caring Doctor, i warmly recommend her.

I stumbled upon Dr. Gourdine in my quest to find answers to a multitude of health issues I had developed over the past year, and I'm so happy I did! From my first visit, it was apparent that Dr. Gourdine has a wealth of knowledge about nutrition, genetics, and the complicated ways in which all systems in our body are connected. I've made so much progress in the months I have been under her care, and have learned so much in the process. If you've been let down by conventional medicine and are not sure where to turn, I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Gourdine to start your healing process.

I originally went to Dr Gourdine for panic attacks. She was unclear with her instructions and would change her story from one visit to the next. She was rude over the phone when i told her the supplements she pushed on me were making me sick. She is rude, obnoxious, and uncaring.
if i could give her zero stars i would. Don't go to her!

Came in and explained my issue, over an hour goes by and all she did was say "mmhmm" to everything. Then gives me 3 bags filled with "take home kits" that cost about 1,800$ THEN after you do them you pay her 300$ for a consult and a plan on how to go about this. Saw another Functional Med Dr after her and you cant even compare the two. Office had a bad vibe, very small and cluttered. Lady who goes over the test kits with you is rude as ever saying "well if you want to get better you have to do these". You may want to look into another Functional Med Dr if you do not have a couple thousand just laying around!

In June of 2017, my general doctor diagnosed me with Hashimoto Thyroiditis. My TSH level was at a 10.18 (normal range 4.5) and I had thyroid antibodies of over 600 (normal 0). I was told prescribed to Levothyroxine for the rest of my life since Hypothyroidism was a lifelong illness. I REFUSED to believe that. When I panicked, my doctor told me not to worry and that most of his female patients had this condition. His comment caused me to feel uneasy. I thought it was odd that my general doctor did not even ask me how I was feeling, he didn't ask me about my symptoms, nor did he ask me about the potential causes of my diagnosis. I wasn't given any alternative options or any information on the condition. After I got off the phone with my doctor, I searched all over the internet to find out as much as I could about Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. I stumbled upon a group that directed me to find a functional doctor and change my diet.

I learned to remove gluten and dairy from my diet which was very difficult but I tried it anyway. As soon as I let go of dairy and gluten, I had more energy and was no longer falling asleep all day. In the meantime, I researched the FXMed website and looked up functional doctors in my area. Dr. Vanessa Gourdine came up and so I called the office to get an appointment. I was hesitant at first and unsure of what to expect. I was reluctant to even schedule an appointment because I knew the services wouldn't be covered fully by insurance.

I started working with Dr. Gourdine in July of 2017. Throughout our consultation, I was able to figure out some potential root causes for my Thyroid issues. We discussed all areas of my life, career, finances, health, nutrition, fitness, feeling and emotions, family life and history, genetics, past traumas. We also discussed personal and romantic relationships. I was a little confused at first as to why she wanted to know all these things. What does my thyroid have to do with all this? I asked myself. Then I realized it had everything to do with my biochemical imbalance. I took a series of functional tests where I discovered so much about what was going on inside of my body.

After I received the results of the functional tests, Dr. G. created a treatment plan which was designed specifically for me to take action on. It consisted of following a very restrictive diet and taking a number of supplements to help bring my body back to its normal and natural state. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical but I had already invested a lot of time and money so I promised myself I would see it through.

A couple of months after working with Dr. Gourdine, AND doing the work required, I have gained my confidence and energy back. Dr. Gourdine alleviated my depression, fatigue, and anxiety by brining me back to good health with Functional Medicine. I am taking care of myself in ways I've never done before. No longer do I feel bad about myself and my life. I have the tools I need to maintain a healthy life. I know that food is medicine and it is important to educate myself on what to eat and which supplements are beneficial specifically for me. I've literally transformed my life through Functional medicine. It feels liberating and empowering. By the way, my TSH level went from 10.18 to 3.9 and my doctor told me that was impossible. I highly recommend anyone who wants to gain back control of their health and their lives to work with Dr. Gourdine. She's very understanding, attentive and knowledgeable. With Dr. Gourdine, you will get the results you are looking for. In the process, you will learn so much more about yourself. This has been a very arduous process but it is worth every second and every dollar I spent. Invest in your holistic health! You deserve it! -SJ

My best friend just called me crying hysterically after seeing Dr. Gourdine. The doctor and receptionist were incredibly rude and unprofessional to her and made her "feel like garbage" after having gone in looking for mental health assistance. I am appalled to hear this and will be contacting them personally soon to express my disgust and disappointment with the way they treat their patients.
