Grass Roots Functional Medicine Reviews

Wow! After years with a chronic disease leaving me with no energy and constantly fatigued, its a relief to finally find GrassRoots Functional Medicine. I feel amazing! Thank You Dr Osgood and staff.

Dr. Seth continues to give me hope on my health journey. He is thorough and creative, considering all areas of my life, not just my symptoms. During my last visit, he asked me if my latest pharmaceutical seemed to be making a difference. When I replied that I couldn’t tell, he said, “alright let’s take you off it then. I mean, the goal is not to be on anything.” It surprised me, since in my experience with medical doctors, the response would have been, “well let’s try a little longer, and see what happens.” Clearly, Seth is not in it for the pharmaceutical kickbacks he can get, he is concerned for MY welfare. His background and experience give me confidence and I’m so grateful to have a care provider like him who is not giving up on my health.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Seth’s for the past year and my husband has been a patient for the past two years. He is incredibly knowledgeable, researched, compassionate, caring and detailed. He’s a good listener, too. Dr. Seth has helped my husband successfully gain control of his Rheumatoid arthritis without drugs and he is now in remission. I had been to countless doctors over the years trying to find a cause for my ongoing fatigue and muscle pain. Dr. Seth was the only medical professional who took the time to dig deep and tried to find a root cause. He is also the only medical professional that tested me for Lyme disease. Unfortunately, that came back positive. He’s been overseeing my treatment and I am making progress. Words can’t express how much we appreciate Dr. Seth and the work he’s doing. He has positively impacted our lives and we are grateful for him.

Dr. Seth Osgood has many qualities of an ideal healthcare practitioner: knowledgeable, dedicated, thorough, compassionate, well-researched, positive, and a great listener, to name several. I have been a “tough case”, with many others having told me that I’m out of options and have to live with ineffective Band-Aid solutions. Not something you want to hear in your 20s! Throughout my treatment, Seth has never doubted my symptoms and has remained resolute in finding the root causes of my illness, so that I can be the healthiest version of me possible. He has consistently been concerned with not just my physical wellbeing, but also my emotional wellbeing. I know that my health would be stuck in a downward spiral without the Functional Medicine approach of Dr. Seth. I’ve gone from barely being able to get through each day to enjoying things that I am passionate about again! It is rare to find a practitioner who can be trusted as much as I trust Seth. I highly recommend working with him to get to the root of your chronic health issues!

I went to Dr. Seth with severe eczema on my hands, to the point that some of my fingernails had separated from the skin and were dying and coming off. No one had been able to improve it. On first visit I asked him if he could please make my hands feel better. He said, why don’t we just make them well. Following Dr. Seth’s plan, my hands gradually began to improve. Yesterday I painted my normally-shaped fingernails. And I feel better than I can ever remember feeling! Thank you To Seth! Thank you to Functional Medicine!

The functional medicine route is by far the best way to go. When I met Dr. Osgood, I was 40 pounds under my ideal weight. I had struggled for 2+ years trying to gain weight, put on muscle, and feel strong again. I was also experiencing heart palpitations, and was extremely irritable. I had been a collegiate athlete, but at 28 years old was so weak I was unable to hold our newborn son for any longer than a few minutes at a time. At my first appointment with Seth, I appreciated the time and energy spent to understand my health history, and my current struggles. I felt heard and understood. There was time and space to ask any and all questions I had, without feeling rushed or degraded. Going into my first appointment, I was convinced I had a parasite, and balked at the idea of doing the lab tests Seth recommended. However, I’m now so thankful we did all the tests Seth recommended. Those tests revealed I had Graves’ Disease – an Autoimmune Hyperthyroid condition, as well as several underlying gut issues. I had no clue. Knowing exactly what was going on in my body was key for us to put a plan together to correct all the health issues I had going on. With diligence and support, following the plan we put together with Dr. Osgood, I’m overjoyed to report Graves’ Disease is now in full remission! Something my Endocrinologist originally told me would never happen. Now, I’m off all medication and have implemented several healthy lifestyle habits that will continue to benefit me and my family for years to come. I am strong, have energy, and am generally happier than I have been in years. Thank you Dr. Osgood and GrassRoots for leading the way for those of us who desire true health and healing!

When my oldest child started to have some health issues I was at a loss for how to deal with the situation. As a pharmacist, I knew that what she was experiencing wasn’t completely typical. I know the basics of lots of health conditions and I know about the medications that are usually prescribed and I knew that in her case, they wouldn’t help. When I couldn’t bear to watch her suffer anymore I went the route that was the only thing I knew about-traditional medicine. While the physicians we met were compassionate, I could tell they didn’t know what to do with her and I felt like they dismissed everything I said. We were referred to a specialist because of some odd lab values and the summary of the visit was him saying, “We don’t worry about those lab values. A functional medicine Doctor would be all over that but we don’t concern ourselves with that”. I left the office, took my daughter to school, and cried in frustration. Then I decided to listen to what the specialist inadvertently recommended and make a change to functional medicine. I decided to take a chance and head in a direction that I knew NOTHING about. I called my sister in law and she knew I was ready to listen. She told me how Dr. Osgood and Grassroots Functional Medicine had changed her life and healed her when traditional medicine had failed her for years. I made an appointment that day and began the journey of finding healing for my daughter. I had a million questions and concerns and Christina in the office was so helpful and patient with me. Dr. Osgood was amazing and supportive and knowledgeable. As he described what he felt was going on with her health it just clicked-I knew what he was saying was exactly what she was dealing with. I had been reading and researching for months and I just couldn’t make everything fall into place but it finally all made sense. Healing wasn’t an easy process-it took commitment and a lifestyle change for her. However, the reward was worth it. After a year or more of increasing misery and worsening symptoms, she finally began to feel better. Last week she left to go to college. I cried a few sad tears because I was saying goodbye to her but I cried even more happy tears because she finally feels great and has been symptom free. My goal was to find answers for her by the time she left for school and thanks to Grassroots and Dr. Osgood I have a happy healthy girl. I couldn’t be more grateful.
