Patient Testimonial
I first visited Dr. Lisa Wada after 5 months of invasive testing by 6 different doctors. I was suffering from what felt like the flu for several months. No individual could find anything wrong with me and it came to the point that I figured this flu and fatigue I was feeling could be all in my head (which was also suggested to me by two doctors).
I went to visit Dr. Wada after I thought maybe it possibly was something I was eating so wanted to see a naturopath and nutritionist. After 30 minutes with Dr. Wada, she diagnosed my problem and blood tests later confirmed my diagnosis of Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Dr. Wada listened to me and looked at my symptoms in a different way than all the other professionals I had seen. She truly delved into exactly I was feeling and found out that I was at my last rope.
After some time Dr. Wada wasn’t content with my progress and she kept asking me about my gall bladder as she thought that it maybe was the root of the evil in my body. I had had 3 tests done on my gall bladder by other doctors, but at her insistence I went to a gastric doctor who took Dr. Wada’s advice and took a closer glance at the gall bladder. Two weeks later I had my gall bladder removed. I never would have pressed the issue if it hadn’t been for Dr. Wada’s recommendation.
Dr. Wada is kind, caring, and takes the time to really understand her patients. She has changed my life as I am a calmer person, am off several medications that I had been taking for years, and am on the road to recovery. I call her my “Dr. Angel” because I truly believe she saved my life as I was going 100 miles and hour and had amazingly high levels of stress which only exacerbated my virus. I can’t say enough about the doctor that has helped me through so much. She is truly a brilliant physician.
