I have been a patient of Dr. Khalsa's for several years. My health has vastly improved since our first meeting. Dr. Khalsa's MD and Naturopathic licensures and her commitment to excellence in patient care provide the balance of natural therapies with traditional medicine. She is an intent listener and very empathetic. Can't recommend her and the staff at Living Wellness more highly.

I was referred to Dr. Khalsa when I was looking for a new practitioner a few years ago. She is exceptional in her approach to natural medicine. She has identified underlying conditions that traditional western medicine overlooked. I also appreciate her kindness and thorough approach.

Dr. Cooper at Living Wellness Medical Center has already changed my life in just the short couple months I’ve seen her. She has helped me so much with my PCOS treatment and I’m forever grateful. I feel so much better and I can’t wait to see my progress in a year.

Can’t say enough about Dr. Marianne Marchese! Her commitment to women’s wellness, calm, knowledgeable, non-judgemental guidance and insightful diagnoses / treatment has me turn to her for all my wellness needs. She takes the time to really listen. I feel heard and valued in her care.

I'm writing my review for Dr. Sarv Varta Khalsa. I met with her a few months ago to receive treatment for a condition I'd been dealing with for an extensive amount of time. She was incredibly kind and took the time to listen to all the details of the symptoms I was experiencing. The office had the prescriptions I needed on-hand so I didn't need to go off-site to find them. All natural remedies, and at comparatively good prices (I don't remember how much exactly, but if they were up-charging, which I doubt, I didn't notice nor would I have minded for the convenience). I'm still symptom-free now after following her recommendations, so I wanted to write a review to express my gratitude. Even though the appointment was pricey, it was worth every single penny to finally be able to live my life feeling normal again. Thank you so much!!
