Dr. Autumn Frandsen, ND

I never write reviews, but I have to warm people. 2 yrs after suffering at AF hand I can finally write about it without getting upset. She is not a doctor, but a quack and a crook. I was having GI and histamine issues. She put me on over 40 supplements+pills/day and 'allergy drops' from her store. It all cost me thousands of dollars in about a month's time. She gave me almost no direction as to what to eat. I became so sick I ended up in the hospital, and she was barely responsive the entire time, not responding to desperate calls or emails, even pushing off paid phone appointments. After leaving the hospital, and at their direction, I switched to another functional medicine doctor who's also a real MD. She took me off of everything AF had me on & started a gentle treatment plan, really looking deep into what was going on. I immediately felt stronger, & we did treatment slowly & carefully. Now I'm doing great! Please heed my warning-AF has no business practicing medicine of any sort.

I came in because of severe eczema and allergies. After 6 months, Dr. F. was stumped why I was not recovering. We tried costly supplements, diets, and lifestyle changes, and nothing seemed to work. Now that it's been 2 yrs., I am giving up and going back to western medicine. Looking back at all the money and time I spent, I wonder when it is a provider's ethical responsibility to refer a patient to another doctor or inform the patient of their difficulties. I never got any of these indications.

Dr. Frandsen was very thorough and asked me questions that no other doctor has taken the time to ask. After two visits she discovered that my colitis was caused by seasonal allergies and after two weeks on the allergy elimination program, I felt better than I had in years!

I don't normally write reviews, but I feel the need to warn people. Dr. Frandsen had blood work done for me and told me that it might not all be covered by insurance. I said, ok not realizing that the bill would be $4,000. My insurance did their dance with Quest and the bill was ultimately $1,000, but I in no way expected even a $1,000 bill for what I thought was simple blood work. I feel she was negligent in not telling me this.
