"I first came to see Dr. MacMullin because I was frantic with stress and unable to sleep; I was also dealing with a number of challenges related to entering menopause and I wanted to avoid traditional HRT. Dr. MacMullin has a calm, reasoned, collaborative approach to health and well-being that involves nutrition, exercise and the use of natural supplements. Within a short period of time I felt my symptoms ease and I was able to sleep better. Dr. MacMullin has essentially provided me with a safety net, a stable foundation that enabled me to move forward while quietly encouraging me to deal with the issues underlying my stress." - Dorothy T.
