Aimée Gould Shunney, ND

I spent a lot of money, to see Dr Aimee, she
told me to email here and let her know how things were going and she would respond to help save me money. Well she never responded and the vitamin/​medicine she gave me made me super depressed. It was pretty serious stuff not to respond. I feel like I got no help and am out over $ 300 dollars which is a lot of money for me. So much for really caring about your patients.

Dr Shunney cares deeply about her patients and provides practical medical care that works! I have seen Dr Shunney on and off for the past five years and consider her to be an incredible physician and healer. I have experienced significant health benefits from following her expert advice on my immune system and hormone changes. I recommend her without reservation and will continue to count her as my most favorite health and wellness practitioner — ever!

If I could give Dr. Shunney 10 stars I would… she is that BRILLIANT.
To put it bluntly, Dr. Shunney played a fundamental role in saving my life. About a year and a half ago I reached a point in my life where I had literally fallen apart. I had been seeing a variety of doctors for years which included a general practitioner, a pain specialist, a psychiatrist, a gastroenterologist, a chiropractor, and a neurologist. I was 30 years old and taking anywhere from 7 to 10 prescription pills a day. I felt like I was 70. Dr. Shunney changed all that…
During the initial consultation as I told Dr. Shunney my life story and litany of ailments, she listened with kindness and empathy. I have never met a doctor that I actually felt truly cared about me until I met her. She was incredibly thorough and worked with me to create a course of action to get on top of my issues. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has incredible insight into the needs of her patients. She is kind, compassionate, and has a wicked sense of humor. It is because of her care and guidance that I am healthy and alive today.
I love Dr. Shunney and would recommend her to everyone!

Dr. Shunney is a fabulous Naturopathic Doctor. She is knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and compassionate. With a basic blood test and my personal history to guide her, she has assisted me in bringing my numbers and ratios to a place of greater health and wellness. I look forward to working with her for a long time to fine tune my well being moving forward.

What a great find Dr. Shunney has been. I’ve been going to her for several years now. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, funny and a real person. She took the time to listen to me not look at the clock and tell me my time was up. It seems that’s what going to a healthcare professional should be.
I check in with her once a year to make sure my hormone levels are all good. She responds to email communication almost immediately.
Doc Shunney you’re GREAT!

Dr. Shunney is amazing! She has helped me for years with hormone rebalancing and has enabled me to feel so much better than before. She is patient and caring and really listens, unlike many conventional doctors. I would recommend her approach to anyone who is not getting the care they need. Many of my friends have also seen her based on my recommendation.

Dr. Shunney is kind, compassionate, understanding and a good listener with a humorous twist. After spending most of my life with western medicine approach’s, I appreciate her sincerity, and helpful ideas so much. It has been so refreshing. And effective to say the least. She can take medical lab results and interpret them into English; which I can’t say for most other western medicine practitioners. She usually has an effective approach to a medical issue that really works. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I first saw Dr Shunney about a year ago for a couple of complaints that conventional docs were not able to help me with. She was thorough and listened, and with a couple lab tests was able to diagnose and prescribe what this little out of kilter body of mine needed. The issues I was experiencing are gone, and I though I’m generally a healthy person, next time something comes up, I will contact Dr S. to get it taken care of!

In my opinion, Dr. Shunney is the best naturopathic physician in the Santa Cruz area. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and cares deeply about her patients.
She is especially well-​versed in the area of hormones, so if you are interested in trying an alternative approach to hormone health and balancing, I’d highly recommend going to see Dr. Shunney. Bonus: she gives engaging and informative talks on the areas of hormones and healthy sexuality.
Dr. Shunney easily wins a 5-​star rating from this satisfied patient.

Boo! Dr. Shunney is a waste of money. Very very expensive, and you can’t even get labs done with insurance because she’s not part of any network. She never even gave me an examination, and she didn’t really give me any helpful advise. The sessions also seemed very rushed. She’s really all about the money and not so much about the care. Not cool, lady.

If you are frustrated with western medicine’s approach to treating many health conditions, are looking for something different, Dr. Shunney is definitely the naturopathic doctor to go to in the bay area. She is understanding, and compassionate, and she knows how treat many different conditions. She has helped me numerous times, walked me though the results of medical tests, and endlessly supported me with health issues and concerns. I highly recommend her as well as her coworkers.
