Dr. Durrell Handwerger is the most knowledgeable and effective holistic doctor I've met! From our first session, he asked detailed questions about my stress levels, sleep, family history, and overall health and diet. He wanted to fully understand my symptoms and interpret the tests I had done over a year ago with another doctor. I used to rely on excessive coffee to get through the day, but it seriously affected my sleep. I felt stuck in a cycle of exhaustion. After following Dr. Durrell’s recommendations, especially the supplements and minor diet tweaks, I noticed a massive shift in just a few weeks. My energy is better than it’s been in years, and my anxiety is finally under control. Honestly, I never thought I’d feel this good without caffeine! If you're struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or anxiety, I strongly recommend Dr. Durrell. If you're dragging yourself through the day, convincing yourself that it’s normal to feel this way, it’s not. He has truly changed my life!
Durrell is a fantastic healthcare provider. He takes a natural and holistic approach to health, and his knowledge is exceptional. Through his consultation, I was able to glean great insight about my nutrition and overall well-being.
Doctor Handwerger is an excellent, astute, detail and solutions oriented clinician. My partner suffered from a series of maladies, that to many other doctors seemed unrelated. They had told her there wasn't much to do, or gave her pills - and said to live with it. Handwerger instead, sat with us, looking through all her medical data for the last 10 years, and of course more recent years. He explained how systems in the body interact with other systems - and looked for causations and correlations. Using the data, he offered advice on which foods, herbs, adaptogens, environments would repair and lay foundation for strengthening systems. He paired this with some supplements - for things harder for the body to break down. More tests were done, with more tweaks. Even outside the office the doctor kept in touch with us, for progress. Never before had i worked with a doctor so interested in their craft and in the full health of the patient.
I feel so blessed that I found Durell Handwerger at SFIHC because after 20 years of being told I have PCOS by many doctors and having them tell me to just lose weight, Mr. Handwerger actually listened to me and looked at me holistically. He does not offer the same diet to all of his patients and tailored a plan to me. He gave his time generously and worked around my hectic schedule. He is knowledgable about the latest research and is a brilliant clinician! I appreciate him helping me become my healthiest, most optimal self and I highly recommend him to everyone!
We are welcomed and treated as individuals, and he is indeed very knowledgeable on the science. His NP in-depth experience plus mastery of tests, methods and treatments not covered in most offices, means science-based but not check-list formula responses to each person's needs. There is good follow-up, one feels 'accompanied' as progress is made.
Durrell and his practice goes above and beyond for patients. Truly customized medicine. I firmly believe this is the future of medicine. Taking the time to discover plus personalized testing is medicine 2.0.

Durrell straightened out my GI issues with the first plan he put me on. For years I had been on meds from other specialists with no success. I trust my health to him completely and value his deep knowledge of medicine, science and his holistic approach. I am looking forward to continuing with his treatments and recommendations to understand and control other health concerns. I highly recommend him to everyone interested in quality and in-depth care.
I am so glad i found Dr Durrell , i saw him on video 3 years ago talking about the underlying causes of our symptoms and gut issue , but i always postpone going as we are always busy with life . i wish i had gone there 3years ago . This doctor is a nice human , not like regular doctor who don't want to know about your foot if you come for your finger , he look at the whole picture and try to find out what are the reason you feel this way ; he take time to explain you your blood test and go deeper into the issue until he can find how to help you resolve your health problem . Dr Durrell tailors his plans super specific to each patient. He is extremely caring, so smart, genuine and truly just wants the best for his patients. You really feel like a human not just a number when you are in this office I am so grateful and thankful for you Durrell!!! and i recommend anyone not feeling themself to take the time to go , make an appointment ; it is refreshing to see there are still doctors who remember why they choose to do this profession in the first place ! Thank you very much Dr Durrell for your time and knowledge :)
Durrell is an excellent professional. He is very knowledgeable about integrative medicine and always looking for a holistic approach in order to address unbalanced areas of our bodies. He is helping me reduce my cholesterol with alternative supplements and healthy eating habits. He is also knowledgeable about gut health and the impact on our overall body. I definitely recommend him.
This exceptional doctor invests considerable time delving into your unique situation, meticulously analyzing details to craft a highly personalized treatment plan. In my experience, I haven't encountered another doctor who dedicates such thorough attention to understanding a patient's condition. His commitment is evident as he scrutinizes lab results to identify the root problem, laying a solid foundation for targeted solutions.

Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Handwerger to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient-centered health care practitioner.
