“Dr. Fleck immensely improved my overall health and quality of life in literally one visit! I had been having stomach issues for about a year and a half, and then for the past six months my energy levels and emotional state was extremely depleted. I am only 22 and it was very discouraging to have so much fatigue and have to be so careful with what I ate. Nothing was helping me improve at all. I had my first appointment with Dr. Fleck and within an hour of my appointment she diagnosed me with what was causing my stomach problems, which in-turn was causing my fatigue and mood levels. Within a week of following her treatment plan I felt a million times better! It has now been about a month and I feel back to my old self!! My energy levels are way up and my emotions are so much more leveled! My stomach is much stronger as well. I am so grateful and thankful for Dr. Fleck and her knowledge of the overall body. I never could have imagined that what was going on in my stomach was so deeply affecting everything else! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fleck, not only is she an amazing and knowledgeable doctor, but she is such a sweetheart with a beautiful soul! Thank you!”

“Tonya has been my primary care doctor for 6 years, and I'm sad to be moving out-of-state. I have consistently been way beyond satisfied with her care, whether I was seeing her because I was sick or for routine care. I always feel like I get her undivided attention and the support I need. She doesn't hesitate to say when a traditional Western medical approach is warranted, or to explain the pros and cons of traditional and naturopathic approaches and leave it to me to decide. She is totally nonjudgmental, compassionate, and thoroughly competent. I trust her implicitly, and will continue to do phone consultations with her while I get settled and find someone I like as much in my new home -- a tall order!”

-Nancy O.

“I struggled for a year to find out what was wrong with me. After traditional doctors gave up and didn't bother helping me anymore, I sought help from Dr. Fleck. Within one visit I was feeling better and she diagnosed my condition on the second visit.
The doctors at SCNMC are patient, comforting, caring, and trust-worthy. It's too bad most insurances don't cover this type of treatment because Dr. Fleck looks for the cause, she doesn't just cover up the symptoms. She's the only doctor who has helped me feel better and seems to really care for how I fee. I feel great and can't say enough good things about Dr. Fleck and SCNMC.  I highly recommend SCNMC!!”

“I highly recommend Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center.  Dr. Tonya Fleck D'Andrea is a fantastic naturopathic physician.  I've also taken classes at SCNMC that have been enjoyable & informative.  So many modalities are available, you owe it to yourself to go to SCNMC,”

-Tammy R.

“Awesome Alternative Healing Community. Dr. Tonya Fleck is so caring and present. She took her time with me and listened. What's different about Naturopathic Care is that the doctor listens to everything going on with you and treats you like a whole person, not a bunch of parts and symptoms. Its such a better way to look at your health. I'm getting great results with less invasive medical care and without drugs.”

-Marti M.

“I've been a patient at the Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center for about three years now. I first came in with a skin condition that had been misdiagnosed by a dermatologist and wasn't improving. I got great results because my naturopathic doctor addressed my issue at the systemic level instead of masking the symptoms with medication. My treatment was based on who I am as an individual and what was going on in my life that contributed to the skin condition.

I can't speak highly enough about this clinic. The environment is warm and welcoming. The doctors and staff are qualified, competent, and they genuinely care about my wellbeing. I always leave feeling physically and emotionally recharged. If I could come here every day, I would!”

-Judy P.

“SCNMC is AWESOME!!! I have been going to Tonya for about a year and a half now. Tonya is a wonderful and compassionate doctor. Tonya has helped me go off of mediation using herbs and supplements. I was headed in the right direction and Tonya gave me the boost and additional direction I needed, and I couldn't be happier! SCNMC has many different kinds of services and the staff is both welcoming and kind. AND you can't beat the B12 Happy Hour on Wednesdays from 4-6”

-Diana S.

“I have been seeing Dr. Fleck for adrenal fatigue for two years.  I can't believe what a difference it made in my life - I was really sick and didn't know what was going on for several months and I started to feel better almost right away after I began my IV treatments and started to take her herbal tinctures.  She has also helped my 8 year old daughter get stronger and healthier with natural supplements rather than traditional medications.  
The whole staff at the center is wonderful and attentive.   I highly recommend Dr. Fleck as a naturophatic physician.”

-Claudia B.

“Naturopathy has the potential to prevent diseases before they happen, and to support vibrant health.  Dr. Fleck has been working with me for over 10 years to keep me balanced and healthy.  I have annual women's health exams and she offers suggestions that include herbal supplements, exercise, massage, osteopathy treatments, and homeopathy.  She is diligent about tracking my blood pressure, bone density, and hormone levels as I go through changes in my life, and offers support in ways that prevent disease, not just treat disease.  I am so grateful to her for helping me to be disease free, into my 60's.  I am not on any pharmaceutical medicines, and live an active and busy life.  Thank you!”

-Sharon R.

“Dr. Tonya Fleck is a lovely, caring person and an excellent, professional doctor. When I go to her office, it almost feels like I'm going to a friend's home. I have been her patient for nearly two years and she has helped me through the most challenging years of my life, physically and emotionally. She has helped to uncover root causes of illness and offer solutions to help fix the problems not just mask the symptoms. I have experienced marked improvement in my overall health as well as specific issues such as allergies and eczema. I highly recommend this doctor's office if you want to truly work on healing your body. Yes, it costs money and insurance won't pay for it like they would a conventional western medicine doctor's care, but it is well worth the cost and she does not over charge. The prices are very fair and she also gives options for those needing to save money.”

“Once you've gone naturopathic, you'll never go back!  I highly recommend Dr. Tonya Fleck at the Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center!

I've never been to the new location, but I did see Dr. Tonya Fleck at a previous location before I moved away from Santa Cruz and she was so great that I had to track her down just so I could write a review for her.

When I starting seeing Dr. Fleck, I had been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).  For those of you who aren't familiar, it's a disease where you develop cysts on your ovaries and the symptoms include infrequent and painful menstruation, extra weight in the mid-section, and discontinued ovulation.  It can lead to type 2 diabetes as well!  I was seeing a regular medical doctor who was giving me some horrible medication and I was feeling aweful.

Dr. Fleck took me off the medication, gave me herbal tinctures and supplements to take instead, and in 6 months my period was regular for the first time in my life, and an ultrasound showed that I had no cysts on my ovaries!  I also began to loose weight and feel much better.

In addition to the great results, Dr. Fleck had a great bedside manor.  She is so friendly and kind and her healthy glow inspires confidence.”

“I can most enthusiastically recommend Dr. Tonya Fleck and her Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center.
After seeing a traditional doctor for most of my life, I can say that since I started seeing Dr. Tonya six years ago, my health and overall well-being have markedly improved. She takes a very holistic approach to your health including emotional, mental and other life factors that affect your body's physical health. Her approach, in complete contrast to traditional MD's, is to keep you from getting sick, not simply treating you once you have an illness.
The atmosphere in an office visit is relaxed and Dr. Tonya is sincerely interested in you and your overall health. When I visit my traditional doctor, I feel like I am on specific time allotment, mandated by the insurance company. Blood tests results are reviewed in detail with positive suggestions on improving areas that may need attention, using diet, exercise and life style changes before resorting to drugs for improvement.
In addition, I believe Dr. Tonya very likely saved my life, or at least prevented me from very serious physical degradation. I am a very active and energetic person and I started experiencing tiredness and fatigue. It continued to get worse, to the point where I was resting or sleeping most afternoons, not playing golf because I was too tired and even started missing work. My traditional doctor said I was just stressed and that I needed rest. I knew this was far more serious than that. My wife suggested I see Dr. Tonya and with in 20 minutes on my first visit, she said that I had all the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning.  After testing, we discovered that I had seventeen times over the acceptable amount of mercury in my body. Through chelation treatment, supplements and replacing my amalgams with non mercury fillings, I completely recovered and with 6 months was back to my normal active lifestyle.
If you are looking for someone to help you stay healthy and enjoy life, Dr. Tonya and her staff should be your partners.”

“After a year of dealing with Kaiser and multiple psychologists I was pretty discouraged by my healthcare options. I'd been battling anxiety, panic attacks, and fatigue the whole time and no one had any answers for me other than "it's all in your head." I felt that something was wrong in my body, almost like mono, but my doctor refused to run any tests, instead he gave me anti-depressants. That helped manage the anxiety, but the fatigue and cloudy head didn't go away.

I decided to give a naturopath a chance for the first time, and it was life changing. Dr. Fleck believed me and trusted my instincts that something else was going on besides an anxiety disorder. After a few weeks of tests, talking, and supplements, we uncovered that I did indeed have 2 active viruses, both of which my Kaiser doctor could have tested for, but refused.

Dr. Fleck gave me weekly anti-viral IV treatments and set me up with a supplement plan, and a few months later I feel like myself again! My energy has returned. My family and friends notice the change too. My fatigue is gone, my focus is back, and I feel like I can get back to my life.

It is expensive to pay for a naturopath, but the care and time you get compared to Kaiser is well worth it. And Dr. Fleck won't give up on you. I have a new appreciation for what health care can be!”

-Kevin T.

“I highly recommend Dr. Fleck and all of the staff at Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Clinic. I came to see Dr. Fleck as I was experiencing issues with my menstrual cycle and suffering from anxiety and adrenal fatigue! My "regular doctor" said I was in the normal range on all my testing, but Dr. Fleck worked with me to address the symptoms I was experiencing (that were NOT "normal"). Within three months my mood had stabilized, my anxiety was gone, and my PMS symptoms gone! Dr. Fleck and her staff are incredibly kind, attentive, supportive and caring! I would refer anyone here who is looking to truly heal themselves, not just take a lifetime prescription diagnosis. So grateful for all Dr. Fleck has done!”

-Magnolia R.

“I am so grateful for the entire staff at SCNMC who have each played a role in my health transformation. Before I started partnering with Dr. Fleck in my health, I struggled for five years in the standard healthcare system. I have been told repeatedly that standard doctors couldn't do anything else. After just a few months of working with Dr. Fleck, I feel so much better than I have in years! I have received a B-12 injection from Dr. Caspi as well, who is also very professional and friendly. I've never looked forward to doctor's appointments in the past, but everyone at SCNMC makes me feel so welcome and safe. Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover naturopathic medicine, so instead, I look at it as the most important investment I could ever make.”

-Whitney W.

“The doctors at SCNP have helped me tremendously with my health! I have been seeing Tonya Fleck since 2015. I started seeing her for assistance with athletic recovery and throughout the years she has helped me with hormone balance, sleep, stress, immune system issues.. Tonya not only treated my issues, she educated me about the underlining reason for them and the purpose of treatments being used. I have referred my Personal Training and Nutrition clients to their office! My clients have gotten the results they wanted and then some.”

-Jenny W.

“Been going here for 7 years.... very convenient.  They have Happy Hour. Vit B Wednesday afternoon..”

-Nancy M.

“A great group of professionals that truly care. I have many mutual patients with SCNM and they all have been very happy with their treatment here.”

Rick Williams

“I am very happy with my experiences at Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Clinic. I appreciate being treated with respect and recognized as a participant in my own healthcare choices. I have had great improvement from chronic illness using naturopathic approach. Also, I don't get faint and sweaty palms just walking into the office (unlike my reaction to stepping into a Western MD's office)! Thank you, Dr. Fleck.”

Susie Wood

“I really appreciate their holistic approach to my wellness and the expertise to prescribe both western and eastern medicines. I also appreciate Dr Flecks employing supportive measures as a way to treat. I continue to be impressed by this approach to health care and feel compelled to say so. It's a new approach for me and it's working. I have seen consistent benefits and the staff is great. I recommend it.”

Greg Cotten

“Dr. Fleck has created a miracle here. The first time I met her she looked at me and was able to intuit exactly what I was lacking in my health regimen. She's gifted and the entire office reflects it. I can't recommend this place more vigorously for those who are feeling a lack of energy or joy in life. If you're feeling run down, pay them a visit.”
