This has been a good experience. Dr. Patel is kind and takes time to explain things. I have learned more about my health here than at any other time in my life. The only downside is that all expense is out of pocket.

Dr. Cardwell has been treating me for the past five years. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen. His level of compassion and the time he takes with his patients is something you very rarely see these days. I have some complicated issues and he has spent a lot of time researching what issues I am experiencing to help find a cure. I would recommend Dr. Cardwell and his staff to anyone.

Acupuncture has helped with my headaches when nothing else worked. It has taken about a year and a half to remove a problem that existed for about ten years. It is also helping with my schizophrenia symptoms, but that'll never go away sadly. I'm driving right now. I may or may not have read what you sent. I'll respond properly when I park. doctor Cardwell knows his stuff.

AIM far exceeded any of my expectations. After years of hearing the same reports from my in network GP, Dr Patel and the folks at AIM listened to my concerns and formulated a plan tailored to my needs. The results have been amazing.

I’m so grateful I found Dr. Ronak Patel and AIIM. It’s actually been the most positive experience of this type I’ve had as far as the whole staff being so pleasant to work with. I knew something wasn’t quite right and I had run into a bunch of dead ends elsewhere. Dr. Patel listened to me like no other doctor has before. He was flexible with my budget as much as possible in both diagnostics and supplements. He was able to give me both peace of mind and identify some specific areas that need support. After about six months of working together (I had to do my part too, as far a exercise, diet and being consistent with my treatment plan) I am feeling the best I have felt in years in multiple ways. I’m sleeping better, my digestion is better, my energy is good, my mood is much more stable and I am having fewer and less severe migraines. I’m grateful for an approach that was scientific and drew from multiple methods of treatment. While my initial issues are currently resolved I look forward to working with Dr. Patel, as well as other AIIM staff members, for my future needs.

I’ve been going to AIIM for several years now and so grateful to have found them. Dr. Cardwell has been so instrumental in my healing taking me from mostly bed-bound, in severe pain, and unable to care for my children to giving me hope that my body could heal and restoring my quality of life. I’m a different person today thanks to his care. Previous to finding Dr. Cardwell I was drowning in the conventional medical system and desperate for help for several years until he properly diagnosed me and treated me when over 20+ physicians I had seen could not. Dr. Cardwell is the most intelligent Naturopath I know yet possesses a humble spirit and always full of empathy- the perfect combination in a physician. He genuinely cares for his patients and always has their best interests at heart. I’m forever grateful and thank God for his care as well as his kind and attentive staff. I don’t know where I would be today if I wasn’t under their care. Cannot recommend Dr. Cardwell enough!

When you get an initial diagnosis of Stage IV cancer that has damaged your bones it can be devastating. In looking for alternative support to conventional medicine (that didn’t give me much hope) I was referred to Dr Cardwell for a treatment I was pursuing. From my initial visit to my labs, follow ups, IVs and acupuncture all of the staff have been so caring and compassionate. Two years later I am doing well and still following up with Dr Cardwell not only for my cancer support but my overall health. He is a wealth of knowledge, patient and kind. What more can you ask from a member of your healing team!!

I have been a patient of Vicky Armstrong at AIIM for several years. The care I have received has been medically sound, professionally delivered, and always caring. She spends time discussing and analyzing any issues and makes me feel that she will find the best way to treat and protect me. I highly recommend her and the entire practice.

“My success with HCG is the best thing I’ve ever done for my overall health and well-being.  The protocol can certainly be challenging however the results for me are overwhelmingly positive!  In addition to losing weight, I have detoxified my body of all the unhealthy sugars and unpronounceable ingredients that make up so much of what is sold and consumed today.  It has helped me return to how I grew up eating – fresh vegetables, healthy proteins and portion control.  An added bonus is having Cris and the AIIM team in your corner with tips, recipes and most importantly encouragement!” – Juli Anne

“Exceptional integrative and internal medicine clinic. I see Dr. Patel and he has been nothing but genuine and caring. I can say if if wasn’t for him I would not have my quality of life back after suffering from mold exposure. If you are not getting the treatment you need with your regular doctors and need more help I would highly recommend this clinic no matter how far the drive is. The doctors and staff are excellent and very kind. They definitely set high expectations for other medical clinics.” -Charridy Roberts

“My experience at Atlanta Integrative has been amazing. My family has had excellent care here. Nicole and the other members of staff we come into contact with are always pleasant and up to task to get it done. Our highlight at this practice has been Dr. Ronak Patel! He has treated us with a very high level of care, amazing bedside manners and an understanding and knowledge that far exceeds any other medical experience we have ever had before. We tell everyone about this practice and Dr. Patel!” -Nicola Harvey

“Dr. Cardwell is extremely knowledgeable. Following his treatment recommendations have improved my condition, activity and quality of life in spite of my complicated medical history. His pharmacy and team are also knowledgeable and just as amazing and supportive as he is. When I come to this office I feel very safe, welcome and at home; which truly helps when you’re experiencing health challenges. I believe God led me to the right place at the right time for my healing journey.” -Astrid Pierre-Louis

“I first met Dr. Patel shortly after moving to Alpharetta. I was looking for a Functional Medical Facility when I found Progressive Medical. I was pretty sick and had been that way for months. Within 4 days of being treated by him I already felt so much better. Dr Patel continued to treat me until he left Progressive. I eventually found Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine and became a patient there. Shortly after I had a happy surprise to find Dr. Patel had joined AIIM. I immediately became his patient again. I have never met a more compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, and openminded physician. I felt that way the first time I met him and I continue to feel that way. Dr. Patel is one doctor I totally trust with my health and well being. I always feel heard by him and he allows me to be a co-contributor to my own healthcare which is very important to me. I’d also like to say how satisfied I am being a patient at Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine. It is truly a great Functional Medicine facility.” -Shareina Fisher

“Approximately 14 years ago my whole world collapsed. Several major personal life changing events took place: My business failed, leaving me bankrupt and forcing me into foreclosure of the home my daughter and I designed and had built. That same precious daughter, who suffered from severe depression and had attempted suicide more than once, finally succeeded. Her two sons, although young men in their late teens, were zapped back into childhood by their grief and even now still feel that they were abandoned. All I could do was try to hold their lives together and comfort myself by eating. Then, 0n 9/11/01 everyone’s world changed. It was around that time that My Doctor broke the news that I was a diabetic, full blown, not just slightly. A1-C about 10, blood sugar over 300. THAT got my attention! And saved my life. The loving care of my Doctor helped my immensely. She understood all I had been through. She also knew that I had tried every diet known to man, in an effort to lose weight. I am 5 feet tall and weighed 265 pounds. She treated me as an intelligent adult. I already knew what diabetes does, the slow and cruel ways it kills you a piece at a time. First one foot, then the other until both legs are gone, sometimes even the hip bone. You end up a breathing corpse in a wheel chair without even having hands and arms to move the wheelchair. I even considered using my daughters escape method, but I didn’t want to take away my Grandsons’ only stable part of their lives. But I was determined not to die from that insidious disease. So I tried the only diet I had not tried before: The Atkins Diet”. I never actually followed the Atkins method, but it caused to educate myself about Sugar (pure Carbohydrates) and starches which convert to sugars (carbohydrates). I eliminated sugar from my life that very day. I also defied the food pyramid doctrine by taking grains from the top to the bottom. I realize that a farmer feeds his animals grains to fatten them up before they are butchered. I defied that miserable butcher, diabetes. I threw away anything white: flour, rice etc. And honey, whether natural or not, is still sugar. Fast forward: Saving my own life became more powerful than my grief. I lost 35 pounds the first month. In the meantime I moved away and had to find a different doctor, who, of course, preached the same tired solutions, but I, of course ignored them and kept on shunning sugar and grains. In the first year I lost 100 pounds. I am no longer considered a diabetic at all. My total weight loss at this point, and holding steady, is about 130 pounds. I went from a size 26 dress to a size 12. No medications – I just don’t eat sugar or white grains. I use only nut flours to bake with, and use only natural fats. No artery clogging Crisco or phony fats from hydrogenated vegetable oils. I use almond flour or almond meal coconut flour for my cookies, muffins etc. I make a really good New York Style Cheesecake, or other flavored cheesecakes, using crushed almonds instead of graham crackers for the crust. I make banana nut or applesauce almond flour muffins, chocolate coconut cookies, peanut butter almond cookies and many, many varieties of goodies. I eat Bacon, Ham, beef, pork & shrimp (pork & shrimp limited due to the high Purine content)- any kind of fat and protein I choose. I just don’t eat carbs.” July 2014 – E.H. Atlanta, GA

“I reached my top weight this year as I have at least three other times in my life which is about 25lbs. above my ideal weight. In the past I have done Quick Weight Loss Center or Diet Center and a very disciplined exercise regime and gotten the weight off for three or four years each time. Problem is that approach always takes me about four months. This time I tried the HCG plan as monitored by Dr. Smith and her nutrition counselor Ginie Hogan, with no exercise. I had amazing results and lost 20 lbs in 30 days. The next 5 came off slowly over the next 30 days as I stabilized. I would highly recommend this approach when you just have to get it done! No surprises, very good counseling and no cravings! I will never diet another way again and I learned a lot about what triggers abnormal fat accumulation in my body. I now know what trigger foods to avoid for my body and doubt I will get myself to my top weight again but if I do I know what the solution is!” -C.R. Atlanta, GA. (Brookhaven)

“I was skeptical about starting the HCG program last January (2012), but I was at the point I had to do something to stop my out of control weight gain. I had high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and the potential for diabetes if I didn’t get my weight under control. The weight loss started immediately and I actually lost 35 pounds over the course of 2 rounds. I have been able to stop taking blood pressure and cholesterol medication, my blood work i normal, I have more energy, and my back and joint pains have improved dramatically. It was a comfort to have Ginie’s support and encouragement available at any time to keep me on track. If you need to lose the weight and want to keep it off, the HCG program is a great way to do it. C.H., Roswell, GA

“What a great way to start off 2013… already down 33 pounds since late September! While I have about 25 more to go, I don’t have that overwhelming feeling that most have on January 1st about having to lose weight. HCG works – I lost 20 pounds the first cycle. The program is easy to follow, and you get plenty of support from Ginie and team. Best of all, the clean eating has made me feel great. Never during the program did I feel bad. I slept well, and for the most part, I was not lethargic at all. Looking forward to losing the rest in 2013!” S.G., Roswell, GA

Thank you for enlightening me on the subject of CRP. I’m going to check my lab results today! I really love your page. I learn more from you than any physician I’ve been a patient. Thank you so much!! P.P.S.
