Hi, Winnie- I recommend Dr. Aparna Dandekar. She is knowledgeable in both Western and Ayurvedic medicine and is based in north Berkeley. She also makes house calls. She works part time in a traditional primary care practice in the East Bay, and as an urgent care physician at Cal. But she sets aside the rest of her time to apply her combined skill set in her own private practice. She has been working successfully with a close friend of mine who has various longstanding issues and he's very happy with his improved health. I worked with her to improve my overall well being, mostly through dietary changes. She's also super nice and has a good (while appropriate) sense of humor. Her contact info is below:

I recommend Dr. Sarah Ferguson in Lafayette - I saw her a few years ago for low energy/fatigue and perimenopause symptoms and found her to be thorough and caring. After a thorough evaluation, and blood and saliva testing, she prescribed a series of supplements that have been very helpful to me. We self-pay for insurance or else I would definitely see her on an ongoing basis. Her office manager is also very efficient and helpful, office is warm and welcoming. Good luck!
