What our patients
are saying…

“Essential medicine has reframed my perception of health and wellness. Dr. Phillippi, Dr. Candelaria and staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, and consistent in their practices. With their help, I’ve easily overcome gut issues that I previously struggled with for years — I was hitting seemingly endless dead ends and came carrying a lot of frustration and doubt. I was instilled with a fresh sense of hope and set up with a plan that was sustainable. My health has done a full 180 and I have Essential Medicine to thank! Beautiful office with a beautiful staff — not to mention the serene sauna experience offered in the back! Highly recommend.”
