“Great doctor”
Dr. Bier has been the most thoughtful care provider I have ever worked with. He is great about a holistic view of the body, and frequently relies on peer reviewed medical literature to support his recommendations and treatment protocols. The office staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone there is a joy to work with.
My case was complex, and I truly believe my survival was greatly enhanced by Dr. Bier’s insight and care. I have since moved 150 miles away, and continue to work with him as my life

“Guided my cancer treatment and improved my overall health”
I came to Dr. Bier after my colon resection operation for early stage 3 colon cancer. I underwent a short chemo treatment but stopped due to severe side-effects. Dr. Bier gave me a new diet and a regime of appropriate supplements. He was able to communicate to me the relative benefits of the treatments. The protocol he developed for me has helped to strengthen my immune response and overall health. I am now cancer free testing in the normal range for A1C without medication!

“Excellent: Very informed, eye-opening, and extremely helpful”
I made an appointment because of my up-and-down roller-coaster energy issues, and before I could tell Dr. Bier what was wrong with my energy, he was able to tell me that I had burnt out my adrenal glands, so I had no energy, and to compensate for the low energy I was self-medicating by eating massive amounts of sugary and starchy foods, which spiked my blood sugar levels, then I would crash, which is why my energy would go up and down so quickly, and by doing so I was doing a lot of damage to my pancreas. But wait! There's more! He also discovered I had digestive problems, AND mucus issues (caused by a lifetime of dairy consumption). He also said I was not getting nearly enough protein. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor, with everything he was able to figure out without me even saying a word. I then said that I had cut sugar and all processed foods out of my diet for several weeks prior, and he asked if I was eating fruit. I said "yes... A LOT of fruit..." He showed me this great diagram that compared a perfectly healthy person (which I thought I was...) to my current situation. I realized I was in pretty rough shape. I asked: "Am I fixable?" He said yes, but that it would take some time, and a strict diet and supplement regime. He explained that I would feel worse before I started feeling better. He was right, but I'm finally over that hump, which took many months. I'm slowly but surely starting to feel a little better with each passing month. I have become fascinated with health and wellness, and I thought I knew a lot going into my first appointment, and Dr. Bier was able to dispel all of my misconceptions and explain why in ways that made perfect sense. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet! There's a lot of misinformation out there!
Overall, I highly, highly recommend!

“The best Dr. I have ever experienced”
I discovered HNNH when I was diagnosed with Stage 1b HER2 positive breast cancer and I wanted to explore an alternative healing process. Dr. Bier has been the most helpful medical professional I have ever experienced in my 63+years. Not only has helped me through the breast cancer without chemo or radiation, he has given advice on many other issues that have come up and I always appreciate his perspective. I'm not sure I would be alive today if I had followed my oncologist's prescription.

“I have never received better treatment from a practitioner in my LIFE!”
Simply put, I have never received better treatment from a practitioner in my life! And I have been around, battling multiple autoimmune conditions and other chronic health problems for the past ten years. Never have I ever felt so seen and heard by a doctor, and NEVER have I ever been so healed! (To add to the superlatives, never have I been more impressed by a doctor's clinical and holistic knowledge, either. Basically my response to this entire practice is, "Wow. I wish I had found this place

“Excellent, Comprehensive and Kind ND!”
Dr. Bier is incredible. I travel from VA to NH to see him. After YEARS of trying to find a solution to my thyroid/adrenal imbalance, Dr. B finally helped me. His approach is unique, comprehensive, kind and thorough. He and his staff are so helpful and supportive.
Highly recommend.
