Heather Herington NMD, DHANP

Dr. Heather Herington basically saved me from being treated with pharmaceutical drugs by a rheumatologist for Rheumatoid Arthritis that would have eventually made me very sick and more than likely killed me!
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was told I would have to take medications for the rest of my life. And informed that if I stopped taking them the arthritis would come back with a vengeance. I refused and said I would deal with this on my own with the help of my naturopathic doctor, Dr. Heather Herington, for whom has helped me in the past. I knew her kind nature, guidance, expertise, and understanding of which anti-​inflammatory foods and natural supplements would help me regain my health, and I have achieved just that! I know too, it is also what is going on emotionally with oneself that takes work to get that balance between mind and body, for which we have been working on, as well.
After being treated by Dr. Heather Herington I had the same blood work done 3 months later, i.e.; C Reactive Protein and others, that previously showed inflammation in my body, including The Rheumatoid Factor blood test, I have no more inflammation in my body or any sign of Rheumatoid arthritis! This is quoted from my doctor’s email: «All of your blood tests, including those for Rheumatoid arthritis and for inflammation, are normal or negative.»
I highly recommend Dr. Heather Herington for anyone who wants to go the natural route to help heal one’s body and mind and stop depending on those horrible drugs that include side effects that a lot of the time are worse than your original problem!

Dr. Herington has been hugely helpful and successful in the treatment of my PTSD. I have several family members with whom I share PTSD, and her insights into all of us have been immensely helpful. Dr. Herington has been of tremendous aid to all of us, and we’re all very grateful.

I recently was treated by Dr. Herington for stomach problems with fantastic results. I found Dr. Herrington very concerned and focused on me and my problem. She did some lab work on me, which showed that I had an inflammation in my gut. She prescribed certain botanicals and supplements and put me on a specific diet which corrected my problem within three weeks. I have great faith in Dr. Herington because she is very thorough and knowledgable and I recommend her highly.

I went to see Dr. Herington about a gut issue I was having. I should have started to have qualms when I asked her something and she told me to, «trust my gut». She ordered a myriad of lab tests for me, which she intimated would be paid by my insurance, but that would not have qualified for payment since she is not an MD. She should have known these rules. These tests would have cost me thousands of dollars. When I mentioned that I could not afford this in my budget, she said I was resistant. She also could have saved me her hefty consultation fee by informing me, before the appointment, that I would have to concur with her approach that my gut problems were emotionally related. When I replied that these gut issues were primarily not related to my emotions, she told me that she couldn’t continue to see me. She put me on a bone both diet for 3 days, but the goals and protocol for after the 3 days were vague. There did not appear to be a clear cut long term goals or explanation behind the nutrition plan, botanical medicine she ordered, or if there were, she did not explain them to me. She sent an email with botanical med information that bounced back to her because the email was incorrect, yet she communicated with me by email previously so she knew my correct email. The protocol she wrote out was composed of the recipe for bone broth and a few extra sentences. (When I temporarily misplaced this, she said she would get me a replacement.) I am very sorry I wasted my money.

We have been seeing Dr. Heather regarding our 5 year-old’s motor tics for the last year with very good results. His tics have decreased dramatically and are now virtually non-​existent.
Dr. Heather is very thorough and we appreciate her systematic approach to solving a problem. We’ve been able to address the issue without the use of any drugs or other unnatural substances, which was our goal. She’s very understanding and a complete pleasure to work with.
