Toni Varela, NMD

What a great discovery! Having relocated to the city from Southern CA, I was looking for a local Naturopath for b12 injections, and supplements! She is very friendly, knowledgable highly recommended!

Toni still remains the best in the West! I am sleeping and feel great and I know she is always there for me!
One can only appreciate this care if they are tired of the egos that Western Medicine doctors have and getting the 8 second miracle visit and then they bill your insurance $ 450 for the visit and you leave with nothing!
I would rather pay cash for the rest of my life and keep my insurance for true emergencies or just for my annual exam, which is free under insurance, than to ever go back to a «traditional» doctor ever again! Love and hugs to you Toni! :-)

Toni Varela is amazing! I started going to her in June 2013 because I was feeling tired, sluggish and just not myself. She took the time to talk to and learn about me and recommended a few minor changes. They worked great! I have since gone back to her a few times and every time I do there is something new she recommends that just makes me feel even better.
I would recommend Toni to anyone!

I have been searching for answers for a couple years as my vitamins started to deplete. Doctors said my levels were fatal but didn’t seem to invest too much time into changing them. I found Dr Varela by chance on google and I am so blessed to have done so. I came prepared with labs going back 2 years and all my patient forms (from website) filled out and ready for consult. My family and I drove 2 ½ hours to see her. Best visit ever, she has the same investment in my life that I do and I believe she will be able to turn things around for me! After my first treatments with her I am already feeling so much better. Worth the drive! I have already recommended her to friends who have been checking out her website to see what she has to offer! Check the Specials on the website!

AMAZING DOCTOR! Dr. Varela is just what everyone else has said in the previous reviews and more. She is always there 100%. Positive, compassionate, energetic and insightful. The fact that she has not been licensed for many years is such a benefit! She is on the cutting edge with her knowledge. If she does not know an answer (does not happen very often), she is right on top of researching it (unlike many doctors I have seen). Dr. Varela is one of those doctors who you wish you had started with before you wasted time, energy, and money on other doctors.

I always go to Dr. Varela to get honest and complete medical advice. If there is a way to heal your body naturally I am all for it. Dr. Varela has helped me clear my skin, relieve muscle tension and lose weight with natural remedies and treatments, focusing on eating the right foods for my body. Her knowledge and expertise go beyond traditional medicine. I would definitely consult with Dr. Varela first before going to a doctor who will load you up with medicines which contain more side effects than benefits. She will get you back to health while educating you on what works and what doesn’t for your particular issues.

Just got back from visiting Dr. Varela for the first time. I Cannot express how happy I am with my visit. She is very kind, gentle and made me feel so comfortable. I feel really fresh and rejuvenated. Dr. Varela had so much information to give to me. Shows how much she is educated and knows what she’s talking about.
Hopefully I will try to visit her as much as I can. Drive from Tracy and well worth the drive. :)

Being an herbalist with past professional experience in the medical ‘industry’, I discovered Dr. Toni via her open house a few months ago. She has a very energetic presence which is healing in itself. I made an appt & found Dr. Toni to be professional & caring unlike a AMA mechanic who works on you, she works WITH you as a WHOLE person. She listens attentively without the typical, unapproachable, arrogance found in the AMA industry. Long story short, my health issues were resolved, without drugs, & I feel better than I have felt in years. I highly recommend Dr.Varela.

i was referred to Dr. Varela from a friend & was a lil skeptical about seeing a holistic doctor cuz i am 1 of those people who wants to see instant result or else i don’t think its working. But after giving birth i was not given a healthy check up even after 6 months later i knew i had to try something different.
I was not healing as fast as other mothers w/​normal vaginal delivery. it’s my fault cuz instead of being in bed rest when i got home from the hospital i was too excited to being 20lbs lighter & still had unfinished housework before my baby arrived. Well w/​the new baby home & little to no sleep for the 1^st few months, my body was seriously in need of help. I asked my obgyn if there was anything i can take or do but all he told me was to let my body heal naturally. So after 2 mastitis later & doctors telling me there’s really nothing i can take cuz i was breastfeeding, i decided to give Dr. Varela a call.
I didn’t know what to expect when i went in to see her. The front desk area was just like a doctor’s office but they played meditation music. I thought Dr. Varela was a nurse when she came out to greet me. She looks so young. I didn’t have time to look at her website or Unilocal (gasp) before i went so i was surprised when she introduced herself. We went in to her office & it is not like doctor’s office where u only see an exam table, sink, & a chair. It was very warm & inviting. I felt like i was at a spa & going to have my facial done.
We spoke for awhile. She actually listened to me & wasn’t in a rush to get me out like my other doctors before. She explained everything to me so i can fully understand my diagnosis & how it’ll be treated. When i left it felt as though i was leaving a friend’s house. She answered all my questions & concerns & not just say, «sorry, you’re gonna have to grin & bear it cuz you’re breastfeeding.» or write me off for some prescriptions.
Moral of the story… don’t be so quick to judge on the unknown or on looks. Dr. Varela looks young, but she’s very informative & genuinely cares about my health.

Dr. Varela is an amazing doctor. She listens, is empathic and takes time to diagnose appropriately. She uses a holistic approach, so while it takes time to heal, the problem tends to go away permenantly as opposed to western medicine. Dr. Varela cares about all of her patients and does not look for a quick fix to solve the problem. She diagnoses appropriately and also treats with the best interest of the patient.

I am so grateful to know Dr. Varela, as a wonderful doctor and kind friend.
Although i was a bit hesitant about non-​western medicine; her sincere concern, patience, generosity and ability to truly listen enlightened me to her holistic approach.
I had a mysterious rash on my left hand (among other symptoms) for about 6 months.
I saw numerous doctors and specialist but it wasn’t until I consulted with Dr. Varela that I began to heal and really understand how to help my body.
I highly recommend her, as a person, and as a naturopathic doctor.
