Dr Brandeis is helping me solve health problems that have destroyed my life for the past four years. (Unfortunately, the office staff leaves much to be desired… always double check for mistakes esp w blood work, testing, medication directions – check every single time! But they have never made a mistake in billing me though LOL ;). Dr Brandeis is expensive, but worth it.

I had seen doctors, did tests, but it never amounted to much else then that I had IBS and there was nothing I could do except medicate myself with anti-​depresents and Tums.
Dr. Andrew Brandeis was the first doctor to have not only a vested interest in my all around health but an actual game plan on how to achieve my digestion goals. He has helped me overcome a lifetime of crippling nausea and pain and I couldn’t be more thankful. My life is forever changed by this amazing Doctor that actually knows what the hell he is doing.

Dr. Brandeis helped me regain a good quality of life back. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease six years ago and initially felt great going gluten free, but despite continuing that diet, a number of other health issues arose a couple years later. Before seeing him for the first time last summer I was struggling to figure out what was going on with me health wise and why I was struggling specifically with a great lack of energy, digestion issues, weight gain and an inability to lose it despite a healthy diet and hours of exercise.
I am lucky enough to have health insurance through work, however the last few times I had seeing a doctor, I left with tears in my eyes and more discouraged than ever before. Dr. Brandeis actually listened to me and didn’t make me feel like I was a hypochondriac as the others did and quickly did whatever he could to get to the root of my health issues. Today, after months of following Dr. Brandeis’ advise and being under his care, I am a much more energized, happy and lighter individual that can’t thank him enough for helping me and listening to me when others wouldn’t.

Just phoned. Told guy only works one day a week and has another job not in this field. Now would you want to see someone who was not the real thing? This is crazy, as crazy as the picture. Weird.

Andrew Brandeis is an amazing practitioner and will work with you to figure out your health problem. The office staff is also incredibly friendly and will go to any length to get you what you need ASAP. Very exceptional.
It will be worth every penny to see him and he’s not godawful like the medical industry.

«I don’t treat labs. I treat people.»
I needed a Dr. House, and I got it. A maverick. A hipster, standard-​issue-​nor-​cal-​hippy version of House. Plaid shirt. Burner. Rides a fixie.
This guy saved my life. Literally. In the not figurative sense of the word.
–If you have CFS/​ME, Lyme Disease, a medical mystery or some other condition where you’ve been seen by a bunch of doctors who haven’t really helped you – DO IT.
–«Radical Access» is incredible. Dr. B is available by email and very responsive. Test results and appointment notes are often emailed to me, sometimes even on a Saturday. Love being able to make and change appts online.
–RE: paying out-​of-​pocket. Going this route ended up saving money. Dr. Brandeis works quickly and efficiently to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment. Won’t order a bunch of unnecessary tests, and you can be sure the ones he *does* want matter.
Staying within my fancy PPO insurance plan would have cost 5x as much and I’d likely have little improvement to show for it. Also, being nearly bedridden is expensive. Reducing time bedridden= smart financial move.
–Supplements. Sometimes he’ll make a suggestion, then emerge with a bottle. I’m always skeptical. But some of them turned out to be more potent than my prescription meds. No joke.
To keep this glowing review balanced there *are* a couple areas that fall short:
–Referral to specialists. This was huge shortfall and surprising given the level of service Care Practice.
On 2 occasions I was advised to consult a specialist, but left with shrugged shoulders in terms of actual referrals and specific providers.
Once I started contacting specialists, most of them (and all the best ones) refuse to interface with patients directly and ONLY work via physician referrals. Trying to negotiate this process as a patient was not effective or efficient, not to mention overwhelming while sick.
–Office staff is mixed. All-​or-​nothing. Either staff who are excellent and SO on their game, to borderline incompetence/​negligence.
Be well.

I began treatment for Chronic Lyme and other tick born infections over two years ago. By the time I found Dr. Andrew Brandeis I was completely run down from the treatment regimen another specialist had me on.
Dr. Brandeis immediately recognized the need to step back from the antibiotic regimen and rebuild my systemic health before continuing Lyme treatment. He prescribed supplements and herbal tinctures to allow my body to become strong again enough to continue treatment. He then managed all of the antibiotics and anti parasitic medications until I was well enough to discontinue treating. He helped me to recover my menses cycle, which had disappeared due to the lyme infection. A few months after treatment I became ill with symptoms that confounded other Drs. Numerous tests, blood draws, ultrasounds and others brought no answers and I continued to deteriorate. Dr. Brandeis did not give up. He took his own personal time and knowledge and consulted with other Drs. until he found answers and a direction to look into. I am most likely also still dealing with Lyme. He will adapt my treatment to current conditions and work on keeping my hormones in balance as well as all other parts of my whole system.
I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Brandeis. he is committed to keeping you healthy and well for the long term. I have recommended numerous patients to Care Practice because they work together as a team. All of the Drs. have integrity and go above and beyond anything you are used to dealing with in insured medical systems. No one wants to be ill, but when you find yourself in need, know that they will actually treat you and care for your health.

I have always been impressed with how knowledgeable Dr. Brandeis is. He has a wealth of information and research at his fingertips that allows him to give the absolute best care to his patients. Dr. Brandeis is someone I consult with often and I never hesitate to refer patients to him because of my utmost trust in his ability to help people. In addition he a pleasure to work with and has a great sense of humor that always puts people at ease.

I’ve been without health insurance for almost 6 months and it never posed a problem… until yesterday. After dealing with several clinics and endless phone calls, I finally found Care Practice. I was pleased to find out that they operate for the many of us without insurance. I walked into the appointment with little knowledge of the place but was pleasantly surprised… they have a Naturopathic Doctor! Andrew is great and I was lucky to have had my appointment with him. Not only did he treat my needs with sincerity, he was also thorough, understanding, and honest. I only needed a basic strep test but was sent home with several remedies that are proving more effective than imagined.
This is my first Unilocal review ever written and I think it is well deserved. I highly recommend Andrew (I have actually already recommended him to my friends) and will be back. Even though I already believe and trust in Naturopathy, it’s nice to FINALLY find a Naturopathic doctor in the city that I can believe in.
