I have been seeing Jan for approximately 20 years. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a real connection with their doctor. She assists wherever you are and how much you are willing to dedicate. Never, ever has judgement. She also has a wonderful sense of humour. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life.

I have been a patient of Dr.Dorrell for 7 years already and she has been a n essential key in my wellness. Suffering from several autoimmune conditions which have, over the years, resulted in other ailments such a kidney transplant, she has been able to guide me and monitor my progress at my pace. She is understanding and compassionate. For me, we have used the « baby steps » approach as my the general state of my health is extremely unstable. I trust Dr.Dorrell completely. She takes the time to do extra research and communicates often with me. I feel very lucky to be her patient.

I am writing to thank you Dr. Jan for being helpful and caring even though I am not your patient. Dr. Jan understood my money situation and she did a review of my file for free. Yes, you hear it, for FREE, and you may wonder why ? Because 95% of doctors these days are mafias and they are there for money and not for you. Dr, Jan gave me few options and named few doctors to see as she is more experienced in women's health. Thank you for answering all my emails and explained the way you do things. I will def refer my friends to you. You rock and happy to have you in Ottawa.

After reading the excellent reviews given to Dr.Dorrell it is very difficult to add anything more! I hav e been a patient for about two months and have already achieved some of my health goals. Jan's approach is helping me and my family and I only wish I had gone to her sooner. Thanks for "being the right one"!

I totally agree with all the previous reviews that Dr Dorrell is extremely knowledgeable and I would also add very professional. She meets the patient where they are at on their journey, respects their boundaries and beliefs and gently directs them towards a healthier approach. Dr Dorrell will assists you whether you need to be brought back to health, need support while going through a medical procedure or simply need guidance to keep up a healthy lifestyle. She is open minded, caring and non judgemental. I have seen several naturopath in the past (which were also quite good), but nothing compares to the Dr Dorrell's approach and knowledge.

If you are looking for great advice on proactive health care - Dr Dorrell is it. She is thorough, approachable, down to earth, and not pushy. She is a wealth of knowledge and willing to share it.

Jan is really knowledgeable and I also appreciate her practicality - she is aware of my active busy life and she offers solutions that I can realistically incorporate into my daily routine. The supplements and herbs she has recommended have helped me reach my health goals. She is also very thorough and her manner is caring and kind.

I have seen 3 naturopaths in Ottawa in the last year. Dr. Jan Dorrell is by far the most equipped, caring and compassionate naturopath I have ever met. I have been trying to get certain blood tests done for over a year and no doctor would help me. The state of my health, my life depended on these blood tests, Dr. Dorrell was sensitive to my needs and has done, and is continuing to do everything in her power to get my health back. The kindness and understanding from her is so overwhelming at times it is hard for me to believe that she is real. She cares more about her patients than their money. She doesn't just take your ‘physical’ problem into consideration, she treats you as a whole (mind, body, soul) and you leave her office feeling so good about yourself knowing you are in the best hands possible. I highly suggest Dr. Jan Dorrell to everyone out there who wants to improve their health. I wish I would have found her years ago. She can change your life and give you so much HOPE!!

I have been suffering with a chronic illness for several years. While the medical system could do nothing to help me, Dr. Dorrell has helped ease the terrible symptoms I have. She has helped me to be able to sleep again, have less fatigue, less depression and anxiety, recover from some severe reactions to prescription drugs and more. I have had immediate, major improvements from the remedies and acupuncture she has given me. She is highly knowledgeable about naturopathic medicine and experienced. Because of my illness, I have been to many different doctors, specialists and practitioners and she has helped me more than anyone else ever has. She is an expert in working with patients who are sensitive. I am sensitive and she always cautions me to take it slow with remedies/supplements and to follow up with her. She is the most patient, caring, compassionate person and doctor. She is also an amazing counsellor. She is so accepting and non-judgemental. Thank you for everything Dr. Dorrell!

Recommended remedies for menopausal symptoms that caused horrible side effects. Unable to reach her or get advice. Subsequent naturopath told me the remedies should never have been given together or in such a strong dose and that effects should have been closely monitored. Not impressed.
