Dr. Valencia is awesome. She has helped me greatly since I started seeing her earlier this year. All her recommendations have been excellent and so helpful. She spends quality time with me and treats me holistically. This is how medicine should be. I do have health insurance that doesn't cover visits with her, but I choose to work with her and pay out of pocket because I choose not to waste my time and health. She has mainly used herbs, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations to help me. She is also extremely compassionate and patient. She really honors personal choice and free will, which I appreciate. She is willing to find compromises where there need to be. I can tell she is passionate about what she does and love to continue reseaching and learning. She stays up to date. I also appreciate that her office is gorgeous and feels SO good. The feng shui, the light, the energy, the natural scents, the view of all the herbs, the bookshelf, etc. I discovered a book on her shelf that ended up really helping one of my patients! This is good energy medicine.

Dr. Valencia, I just don’t even know where to begin in expressing my love and gratitude towards you saving my mom’s life. You have been and continue to be so instrumental in our family’s life and I am just so grateful to God for bringing our paths together. THANK YOU is such an understatement. I want to say it a million times over to you!!! Deeply, from the bottom of my heart — thank you. And thank you for following your heart’s passion so that you may help SO many people. You are so loved and cherished.

From the first moment I walked into Thrive, I could feel that I was in a different kind of doctor's office... The doctors who own the practice are gracious and knowledgable, and all of the healers with whom I have interacted there are equally skilled. I can't imagine looking for healing support in any other medical office now, there really is no comparison.
