Dr. Shimizu is the physician that everyone needs. I felt unheard and was brushed off by my general practitioner and I really wanted more testing. I left my previous appointment where my doctor spent 5 minutes with me, and went straight to Eri's office. She invested 90 minutes with me looking at all of the pieces to my unique puzzle. She listened carefully to my past and current ailments, then considered with great care the tests that should be taken. She explained in detail the reason for those tests and the reason for the treatment plan that she created. She follows up with me, calls me to explain any of my concerns and provides me with literature that actually relates to my personal health, not a flow chart. In the past 3 months we have detected and fixed my hormonal issues. I cannot thank her enough for all of her time, care and commitment to my health.

Dr. Shimizu is amazing in taking care of her patients and anyone who becomes her patient is lucky to have her as their provider. She cares so much that she goes above and beyond in treating patients. I knew her as a physician in the hospital and I know how good she is and learning that she is practicing as outpatient… I didn’t hesitate to see her. As a provider myself I’m very picky with physicians for myself and my family members..I recommended her to my family members already because I know for sure they’ll be in good hands. I am grateful to what she has done to help me specially recently with so much stress and I needed direction with my treatment. It is difficult to be a patient yourself when you are a good provider but I am confident of having her as part of my treatment team.

Dr. Shimizu is your ideal physician! She is a wonderful functional medicine clinician who will spend the time to get to know you. She will not only focus on your disease pathology and lab results, but cohesively paint a picture of you as a whole being by carefully intaking your physical, emotional and psychological history. With visual aid from her very impressive powerpoint slide deck- (let’s be honest, we are all visual learners post many zoom meetings), I was able to understand the pathophysiology of my condition and the rational of her recommended treatment plan. As a clinician myself, I am learning vital information I can apply in my daily practice. Her attention to detail and compassion she pours into her patient care earns my utmost accolades. I will continue my care with Dr. Shimizu and recommend her highly to any patients who are searching for functional medicine doctor.

Dr. Eri Shimizu is outstanding. She combines a strong medical background (Board Certified in internal medicine) with a superb overlay of the new field of functional medicine which incorporates supplementation, nutrition, and life style. So many diseases respond to this combination approach.The anti-aging aspect of functional medicine is of particular interest to my wife and myself at our current age of 80. We have also found Dr. Shimizu to be both exceptionally intelligent, and genuinely caring. We feel most fortunate to be in her care, and recommend her highly. Ron

Dr. Shimizu helped me feel and live better. I had been waking up with a double espresso every morning, getting kids to school, working, shuttling kids to activities, eating fast fatty meals, staying up late to catch up on chores, and finishing the day with a glass of wine to sleep well. I went to bed tired, I work up tired, my gut was irritated, and I felt foggy all the time. I had given up on caring about what I wore or what I looked like. Rather than prescribing a quick fix, Dr. Shimizu took the time to listen to me, and analyzed my symptoms. She reviewed my entire medical history, tested my gut bacteria, metabolic acids, and hormones. Based upon all this information she selected key vitamins for me, a 5 day fast followed by specific diet for 21 days to target my main problem - inflammation. She encouraged me to do the work to achieve my health goals in a natural and healthful manner. I could not believe the the clarity and increased energy that came from clean eating, good sleep and regular exercise. I felt better, lighter; my clothes were not as snug, and for the first time in a long time (basically since Covid) I looked forward to the day ahead. I was amazed that this dramatic change could be accomplished without meditation. Dr. Shimizu’s kind and professional approach, and her enthusiasm for sharing the benefits of functional medicine truly helped me live a better healthier life. I am most grateful.
