Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been seeing Dr Wittels since 2017 after being misdiagnosed by many doctors. She listened to my concerns and ran appropriate tests to get to the bottom of it. She has helped to find many missing pieces of the puzzle and give me my life back. I have yet to meet a more thorough and thoughtful doctor. The rest of Montgomery Integrative Health Practice is just as caring and helpful. They always manage to make time for me when I have an urgent health issue.

If you are struggling with Lyme disease, I cannot recommend Dr. Wittels enough. She is compassionate, understanding and very good at what she does. I was diagnosed in August 2018 and cycled through 3 Lyme doctors total before settling on Dr. Wittels. She was the only doctor able to finally get me off antibiotics that my other doctors planned to keep me on long term. I am currently 99% symptom free as of March 2020 and I know it’s because of the care I received from Dr. Wittels. She takes the time to listen deeply to your symptoms but also delves into other factors that may be contributing to your illness such as lifestyle, family dynamics and mental health. Appointments are concise and focused on getting you back to a healthy, happy life, but she always makes a few jokes and keeps the mood upbeat. The practice takes insurance and the prices are very reasonable for other wellness services available at the office.

While I think Dr. Wittels is very knowledgeable about Lyme and it's co-infections I was less than impressed with her bedside manner or ability to fully discuss and explain in laymans terms what is happening with me and why. I really value someone who listens, considers my knowledge and experience and gives me hope/understanding about the severity and consequences of what's going on with me. I have a hard time justifying a fee to become a member of her practice when I am not comfortable with how I am treated as a patient.

I am compelled to write. You idiots who want a 20 min. appt. & a drug that doesn't work. Don't go to Dr Wittels. Figure out what Functional Medicine is! If she wanted $$, she would not spend hours w/ my husband who was told by Penn Med he was dying. It's LYME. He is almost back to normal. Not in the ground!

I feel that Dr Wittels takes the necessary time to discuss all my symptoms and makes changes to my treatment plan as needed. She understands Lyme and stays up to date with current research. It is expensive, but the supplements aren't covered by insurance and her prices are on par with what you get at a health store. The tests are needed to check for specific issues. she is the first doctor to take me seriously and address the disease with some action. She is well educated on my issue.

Unfortunately I think that this doctor is entrepreneurial and makes money by selling supplements to patients who are desperate for help with illness. I have spent hundreds of dollars here and every time I go I feel like I am being taken advantage of. Now they are implementing an annual service fee of $250 on top of everything else? Plus the office staff is less than professional. I had a staff member interrupt my appointment with Wittles to discuss lunch plans!

This woman baits you in saying she can help you and then once you have paid the crazy amount of money to get your tests all done and get the results she then hits you with a guilt trip about how your insurance doesn't pay her enough to cover her bills. So then she tells you "oh by the way I have to charge you an annual fee of $250 to cover my costs". What the heck!!!! So I pay my extremely large insurance bill, pay the copay, insurance pay you and I need to pay more. No way!!!! Watch out for her

Absolutely horrible. This woman does not care for your health. She cares for her income. She wants you to buy everything specifically from her. Her words were "buy from me i need an income" a real health CARE professional does not bring money into treatment in that way. She made me feel like nothing. She had fat shamed my mother who is very healthy. Saying "i see you need help" while profiling her. Extremely unprofessional. Will not be returning. I do not recommend her to anyone. No empathy.
