Dr. McDonnell has been a wonderful support during my cancer treatment, and post chemo healing. New to naturopathic medicine during my diagnosis. Dr. McDonnell has offered invaluable insight into plant-based medicines and wellness strategies that are effective and - quite honestly - life changing. Her sessions are structured and to the point, and I leave with a personalized and detailed health plan to get me to reach my individual health and wellness goals.

More about Dr. Penelope McDonnell, ND
Dr. McDonnell focuses on prevention as the primary strategy for maintaining health. Her treatment plans generally include a combination of natural medicines and specific lifestyle changes designed to bring balance to every system of the body. Dr. McDonnell is particularly interested in treating challenging health concerns such as cancer coping and recovery support, lifestyle nutrition planning, women's health such as hormonal imbalance, fertility, and menopause, as well as SIBO.

CT/ NY Rules and Regulations: Dr. McDonnell is a licensed Naturopathic Physician in the state of Connecticut. Currently New York state has no licensing laws for naturopaths (that's right - anyone can put up a shingle and say they are a naturopath - so beware of this and make sure that the naturopath you chose has graduated from one of the five accredited medical schools, has taken - and passed - the required rounds of boards and had a valid non-NY state license). In Connecticut, Dr. McDonnell may work in the role of primary care physician for her patients, but in New York she works with MD's to care for her patients and provides wellness counseling strategies using herbal remedies, homeopathy, cranial sacral therapy, diet, nutrition, and more.

Dr McDonnell is an incredibly thorough, thoughtful, diligent, sensitive and kind practitioner. She's has an amazing memory and is a terrific listener and diagnostician. I've been with her for 6 years and will continue for the years ahead. No one does a better job of keeping my body, mind and spirit healthy.

I have been seeing Dr. McDonnell for at least 8 years now for problems my internist is unable to help with. Dr. McDonnell's holistic treatments have done wonders for me and her knowledge is incredible. She is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have known and I am so grateful for finding her.
