Embracing Health

Amin and the nurse I had for my two visits as a new patient were phenomenal! I felt like they were very caring and willing to listen.

Doctor Yvonne Villareal and Hashani are AWESOME! I LOVE this practice, for my entire family - we all (including my husband!) actually like our doctor and PAs. They are super knowledgeable and work to keep us off drugs as much as possible. Healthy clean eating and exercise are the focus. Love it!

I have been with embracing health for a few years now I like it because they listen to you and care about your needs Amin is very good there very thorough. The front desk has good customer service as well.

The front desk staff were kind and greeted me when I came in. The nurse was nice to me and made me laugh, made me feel comfortable. My doctor was Dr. Janne, she was very nice and listened to all of my concerns and gave me plenty of feedback and requested labs to help me determine what health issues I am having. Thank you, Dr. Janne 🙂

Dr. Villareal has been helping me improve my health for more than a decade and the results are phenomenal. She has guided me through building a team that addresses all my health needs. My life is much better now because of that guidance. Her holistic approach has impacted every aspect of being and I'm grateful. The staff has always been caring and attentive. The office always clean and welcoming. Embracing Health has allowed me to truly embrace my own health and well being.

I started using Embracing Health a few years ago. I have been using telehealth for my past few appointments. It's so convenient. When I was in FL on vacation I developed a sinus infection and a rash. I couldn't find any place local that had openings. I called Embracing Health and got a same day telehealth appointment I feel they have looked at my overall health and made suggestions for improvements that in turn heal other issues. The staff has always been very helpful and pleasant. I feel better knowing I can get help when needed no matter where I may be at the time 😊

The staff is great, the nurses take their time and listen. I really appreciated their explanation of my labs. Their recommendations for diet and supplementation before prescribing is a lost art when it comes to " a doctors visit"

I love how they create a relaxing environment as soon as you come in ..
Tea and a massage chair is so nice.
The staff is kind and helpful.
Dr. V is very positive and encourages your health goals and instead of just handing out meds. She helps you change the things that are keeping you from your best self/health.
Gia is great about knowing natural alternatives and vitamins. She’s very interested in your feelings and helping you help yourself.
They listen!!!! And take your ideas seriously. I had So many Drs ignore my ideas and feelings. It’s great to go to-a place where your ideas Matter! I was able to go on a med/ hormone that I had been asking Drs about forever!! I talked to some researchers about my issues and they suggested it.
Dr V decided to give it a try and my energy increased.
I wish I had listened to Gia years ago, it turns out Gluten was causing allot of exhaustion, dizziness and feeling depressed.. i thought it was a fad but turns out it works for autoimmune disease. Heals leaky gut. ThankYou for your insights.
You can get your blood work done in office. It’s so great!
I really love this place and will miss it when we move.

I have been going to embracing health for several years. It's always been a very pleasant experience from the time I walk in the door until the time I leave. Everyone is friendly, helpful and compassionate. I am always able to get an appointment within days of calling. Very good follow-up on previous appointments and procedures as well.

I am so thankful to God that I found Embracing Health. Thanks to Dr. Villarreal and her team have helped me improve my health naturally. They encouraged me to strive for a healthier life style and I did! Thanks to their help. I am so much better today than what I was 10 months ago.

Updated: must have dealt with them primarily on an off week. Have since moved my husband over to their care and have had some really helpful encounters with the front desk staff. Am quite happy and have had no issues since original post and overall positive experiences. Really feel we are on the road to getting better finally between my thyroid and autoimmune issues and my husband's health, we can finally get better!!! Thank-you!!!

So far I have been not impressed with the front desk. Once you get back and see nurses, PAs, Doctor, everything is golden. But to get to them the front desk is awful. Enough to make me upset enough to post this review. I got a call from the nurse, I call back and am told no one can talk to me BC the nurse that called is out today. This was on a matter of fixing my medication dose, sure four more days being on wrong dose. I asked if any other doctor or nurse could talk to me and she (front desk) said they were booked all day and I'd have to wait. If it weren't for my experiences so far with nurses, PAs, and doctors I would go somewhere else, but to be told we called you, call back as soon as you can, and then be blocked by front desk for any information or ability to talk to anyone else is unacceptable. Disgusting and borderline negligent. Beware.

I love that the care is data driven and individualized based on regular blood work. Really appreciate the recommendations of supplements in coordination with prescription medicine. Convenient for blood work because it's done in the office. The staff is caring and professional.

I hesitate to write a review because if I say how great Dr. V is, even more people will want to go there and I will have an even harder time getting an appointment! I love Dr. V and everyone we have seen there. I love the integrated approach to medicine. If you are willing to put in a little work on your end, Dr. V will really help guide you through the best way to manage your health in a holistic way. She has a wonderful bedside manner, listens to you questions, and really works to answer them and educate you about what to do.

Overall I'm very pleased with Embracing Health. Dr. V and Amed (not sure how to spell his name), they have awesome bedside manners and they take time to really listen to you. I have very pleased with them. My health has improved since we started seeing them.

The only thing I do wish however is that they would have some times throughout each day that when your sick you can be seen. I don't like being told to go to Urgent Care because they don't seem to help nor do they really listen to you. Makes you feel like your on an assembly line.

We are so pleased that we chose Embracing Health as our primary care providers when we moved to the NOVA area. We live 25 minutes away and gladly schedule/drive to Stafford to see FNP-C Jie Howe. Embracing Health's support staff are wonderful, experienced and patient. Their in-house lab takes walk-in patients and his staffed by the most patient technicians I have ever encountered.

If you are looking for someone to listen and get to the root cause of your ailments, to make sense of symptoms that seemed unconnected, that have gone undiagnosed for years, trivialized or overlooked by other medical professionals, make an appointment to see FNP-C Jie Howe. She is directly responsible for improving the quality of life of our entire family with her observant diagnosis and homeopathic care.

I absolutely love Dr. V and the practice. I still can't believe how lucky I was to find such a world-class doctor right here in Stafford.

Her nurses are also very helpful. I only wish she would partner with an additional doctor (her appointments book up fast), to minimize the long lines to see her. But that is not her fault - everyone wants to see HER!

Dr V is the best!! We like that she is honest and straight forward. We are healthier now than we were in our 30’s. Dr V makes suggestions, some that you may not like but she is honest. If you need someone to sugarcoat your lab results and tell you are fine don’t go here. She tells you how to take an okay result and make it optimal!!!

I am completely happy with Embracing Health! Jie is friendly, kind, compassionate and has improved my health dramatically! Not only my physical condition has improved but my mental and emotional state has improved! I can not say enough about the beauty of her integrated approach to restoring health! Jie has educated me about my health and has taught me how to make healthy decisions. For the first time I feel incredible! Thanks to her! I am so happy to have found her! This is the only practice where I have been treated with such attention, compassion and professionalism. The results of following the her instructions are amazing! I highly recommend Jie!

I am so glad that I found this practice. I have been seeing Meghan Burke for about a year and have been extremely happy so much so that I have brought my entire family to Embracing Health. She takes the time to listen and and find solutions. She has helped me balance my body which has been out of wack for awhile. Instead of just prescribing medication for my complaints she invested the time to do extensive blood work to find out the root of the problem instead of putting a band aid on it. I have recommended several people to this practice and they have all been very pleased.

I have a thyroid autoimmune condition, and Embracing Health is the first place where I've received support in helping myself holistically and addressing the immune system for my care, instead of the traditional "your numbers are good so we can't do anything else for you" that I was told by countless other doctors. While Dr. Amin reminds me he is not an endocrinologist, he's been instramental in helping me find wellness... And I'm grateful.
