I am pleased to share some recent accolades from my clients with you.  I am very highly rated and highly recommended as a holistic doctor, acupuncturist, and naturopath throughout the web. We have won the BEST of Arlington Heights Awards for THREE consecutive years for both Acupuncturist and Nutritionists, Naturopathy is not a current category. 

 On April 15th, 2015 I celebrated 15 years in practice which, if you can imagine for a moment the climate of alternative medicine in Chicago that many years ago you may understand my considerable pride in still being here!  We are rated 5 stars across GOOGLE, YELP and WELLNESS.com.

There are many glowing comments and letters across the web which are not posted here and which we also greatly appreciate since this enables us to attract more patients in need of our help!  If you wish to leave a positive review on the web please do so on Google versus YELP! YELP filters out all of my positive reviews as a tactic to strong arm small businesses into advertising with them.  They also leave phony negative reviews which are then published and they have done this to us.

In September and October Apple-A-Day Clinic for Naturopathy and Acupuncture in Arlington Hts, Illinois received the Best of Awards for medical and the Talkof The Town Awards for Arlington Heights, Illinois.  I appreciate the phenomenal press my clinic is receiving. 

  

 

talk of the town 300x50

 

Recently, my clinic or I...both are interchangable....received high marks from the BBB and Angie's List.  Your testimonials and reviews mean alot so if we've helped please share your experience.  I truly believe the most important thing anyone can do in our world is to SUPPORT those doing GOOD!  Thank you for supporting the valuable work I do. Thank YOU clients for doing what needs to be done to be healthy!  It has been my privilege to work with MANY of you.

 

 PS 15 years ago people still sent letters and cards and they STILL adorn my walls please feel free to come over and check them out.

 

Best of Health!

Doctor Taryn is helping me reverse years of stomach problems. She is always attentive to my needs and constantly provides suggestions to work with my daily lifestyle! The supplements are much more affordable than costly medications and are significantly easier on my body. It is a joy to visit this clinic!

Dr. Taryn Decicco helped my husband to wean off of acid re flux medication through diet and supplements. She is very friendly. First we did a microbiology test to figure out gut micro biome. Based on the results she advised few supplements and changes in diet. Since then my husband didn't had to take acid re flux medication. He can sleep peacefully at night. Anyone who has GERD I recommend you to see Taryn. She helps to overcome GERD in natural possible way without any pharmaceutical drugs.

I had three different appointments with them. I have some issues with weight loss. I have an issue with depression and stress. I went to see her originally for that. I've been treated the whole time for the same issues.

She's a holistic practitioner. She's excellent. She's extremely friendly and positive. She spends time with you answering your questions and explaining everything. The office is very friendly and very inviting. You feel good there. I rarely waited for more than 5 to 10 minutes. There was one time I waited long. Her communication is excellent.

I was having health challenges.

I have been managing my own healthcare for over 20 years.  I have been eating healthy for the most part and had been taking vitamin supplements for over 20 years which I was selecting myself.  Recently, over the last year or so, I have been under stress and my health has become more challenging.  I have seen changes, although not yet serious, but nevertheless have been of concern. So. at this point, I decided to seek more professional assistance.  I do not like MDs, even though my brother-in-law is one.  I feel they are not efficient in prevention and usually create fear.  So, I feel uncomfortable with them.  I decided to seek a Natropathic doctor.  I found Dr. Taryn DeCicco through a newsletter e-mail which I had received.  I have been reading her newsletter for several months and based on my knowledge and research, I felt they were helpful.  I scheduled an appointment recently and was pleasantly and professionally greeted.  She never rushed me and allowed me to present my symptoms in detail.  She noted everything I said and then she explained in simple terms to me what she felt were my issues.  Having taken care of my own health for so many years, I suspected a couple of problems, and Dr. DeCicco, who not only has much experience, but also is intuitive.  She indicated her findings and gave me an herbal formula to take and also sent me home with a kit for a sample which will be sent to a lab for further testing.  I left feeling better and I know that my issues will be solved.  Today is the second day I have taken the herbal formula and I am feeling better with more energy and also a better mental outlook.  Thank you Dr. Taryn!

I went to Dr. Taryn for very high blood pressure. In just under a year, she was able to help me lower my blood pressure to normal levels through supplementation and changes in the food I was eating. I am excited to have accomplished my goal to stay pharmaceutical free as much as possible. I would highly recommend Dr. Taryn if you want to learn the root cause of your symptoms and how to treat them naturally!

After being diagnosed with a digestive issue, Taryn has 100% nursed me back to health. With consistent effort and following her directions, I really do feel like a brand new person. I have actually never felt this good before. It leaves me to think that I actually feel better than I was feelings my stomach issue even started. She has also opened my eyes to a whole other aspect of life, nutrition, and health. Even if you don’t have any real issue that you see wrong with you, I would say go and see her anyways.

I came in a year ago for my skin...acne....and have been beyond pleased. If you are expecting a quick fix...don't bother. If you are committed to listening and doing what Dr. Taryn says I bet you will see positive results like I have. It is not cheap and it has taken a year but I began to see improvements in a couple months which continue to the present. Now we will work on some scarring. Give these guys a chance!

After seeing my husband's condition improve under Dr. Taryn's care, I went to  see her about my constant tiredness,  depressive state.  She diagnosed me as having adrenal fatigue.   in  just 2 weeks I was feeling better with the supplements that were prescribed,  and a reasonable diet.  Currently, I feel so much better that I am now exercising (which I was too tired to do before) and am on the right track to overall well being.  Thank you Dr. Taryn - You have helped us so much and we really appreciate it!   Highly respected and recommended!

Dear Taryn, just a thank you for putting me on the right path with the supplements and probiotics for the digestive problem that I had .This was over a year ago and I no longer have that problem, I want to thank you for your professionalism and your concern. It's refreshing in this day of medical indifference. Thank you.

I have been a patient of Dr. DeCicco's for about 9 months.
I came to her with a pretty complicated history. I had digestive and anxiety issues since childhood. As an adult, I acquired a lot of crazy symptoms, a goiter, thyroid issues, autoimmune issues, and the list goes on. I changed my diet on my own, and a lot of these diseases cleared up. Unfortunately, I was still stuck with poor digestion, some lingering symptoms, and whatever else was going on inside there. Things were better, but I still wanted more improvement.

I had been bouncing around from western doctor, to alternative doctor, to trying to diagnose myself for 15 years. I am so glad I met Dr. DeCicco and have stuck with her. My body and the way I feel about myself have changed sooo much. My digestion is better functioning than it has ever been. It will still fluctuate throughout the month, but how much it fluctuates has reeled in greatly. Things are so much easier now than they ever have been.

Dr. DeCicco's approach is so completely different from how I thought the healing process should be. I expected to find one or two things to 'fix' about my body and that it would heal. But the process is so much more than that, and I had to let go of my expectations and judgments to allow this to work. The first months were difficult, and challenged me greatly. But every time I got down, I got up again.

I am incredibly grateful to Dr. DeCicco for her guidance, knowledge, patience, and open-mindedness. I not only see the physical changes in me, but I feel so completely different on the inside. I feel fulfillment, and joy, and so many times I have said to myself "Wow, it feels awesome to be me. It feels good to be in this body".

So in summary, I absolutely recommend Dr. DeCicco. I am happy to continue my healing journey with her guidance, and I am loving living life along the way.

And as a final note, if I had the chance to give my old self some advice, 9 months ago when I started this journey, I would look to these lyrics from REO Speedwagon:

So if you're tired of the same old story
Oh baby, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, baby,
Roll with the changes,
Ah you know you know you know you got to

(Keep on rollin') Oh yeah
(Keep on rollin'), oooh roll with the changes
Keep on rollin' (keep on rollin' keep on rollin')

Apple-a-Day has always been prompt to get anything I order and if it is not in stock promptly orders it for me. Both Dr DeCicco and Mike, her assistant, give me excellent service, in the office as well as over the phone. I can call and get answers to any questions I might have as well as recommendations on products.

I learned about the clinic from a neighbor of mine and have been a client ever since. I HIGHLY recommend Apple-A-Day to everyone.

Apple-A-Day Clinic is fantastic. I like not being prescribed a drug for every ache and pain. Through diet, exercise, and natural supplements I am able to control my sugar levels. 

I also have acupuncture treatments to help diminish some deep creases on my face. These have been very successful. 

I highly recommend Apple-A-Day Clinic. Dr. Taryn is highly qualified and treats the problem not just the symptoms. I haven't felt this good in a long time.

I have been seeing Dr. Taryn DiCicco for several months to cure me of an auto immune disease. With her sunny personality and expertise I am halfway to being healed. It has been an amazing road and you really need to see her as soon as possible! I have lost 12 pounds by eating right and taking the supplements Dr. suggested. My health has turned around 180 degrees. Mike works with Dr. in the clinic as well, he is great! So call her now! :)

I cannot thank Apple-A-Day Clinic enough for helping me with my health issues! By working with Taryn I not only saved myself several tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills and avoided a debilitating and painful surgery, but I also learned how to make myself a more healthy person and avoid such issues in the future.THANK YOU Apple-A-Day!

Doc Taryn is a great healer and someone I'm so glad to have on my side as I'm facing some medical problems the conventional doctors have said I have no hope (or choice) of fixing without surgery. When I asked them why I got so sick, they say I was dealt a bad hand. When I asked Taryn, she explained how my immune system and digestive system are out of whack and that'll cause all sorts of health problems over the years - including and up to facing surgery. Not only did she give me hope and support but respect and spoke to me as a person.

I have a long road ahead of me to heal naturally but it's worth it. If I have surgery, the problem would go away but not the cause of the problem - which means I'd be facing surgery again in the future. With Taryn's help, I'll fix the underlying cause of my problem and be truly healed.

About 13 years ago, the doctors diagnosed me with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and prescribed drugs and said I'd have to be on them the rest of my life, I can never eat spicy foods again and I will forever have to sleep in a reclined position. And I might develop esophageal cancer. I found Taryn back then and, under her guidance, cured myself in under a year. I never have acid reflux, I eat food as spicy as I can stand it, I sleep laying down and am at no risk of developing esophageal cancer.

I don't know what your health is like - I've had health issues my whole life and have dealt with conventional doctors my whole life - but if you're looking for an alternative to conventional American medicine, I don't know how you could do better than Doc Taryn. Be prepared to work hard, dig into your own strength and come out at the end healthier than ever.

Apple-A-Day Clinic has helped me so much over the past few years.  In 2006, I was in a horrific auto accident which left me with several degenerated and slipped discs in my lower lumbar spine.  Doctors told me I needed to have a double disc fusion and several discectomies.  To date, I have not had surgery.  Dr. DeCicco provided me with acupuncture and chinese remedies to aid with my pain.  I am thankful every day for the level of assistance she gave to me in my time of need.  She's a wonderful doctor.  I would highly recommend her and will continue to see her in the future!!!  5 star rated!!!

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Taryn:

 

I cannot believe how much my health has improved in the three months I have been seeing you.  We started by fixing my digestion, and now that we are remedying my stress and nutrient deficiencies, I truly feel better than EVER in my entire life.  I am so thrilled that I was referred to you and will continue to refer people to you for the rest of my days.  Please post my information on your website, as a testimonial.

Dear Taryn:

Thank you so much for creating an immune system for my young daughter!!!! She is now

five years old. As you recall, she was a 30 week preemie and had some health issues when she

was born which caused her to be administered LOTS of medications and anitibiotics.  According to you,

and I believe you are correct, this caused her immune system to be weak and not develop properly. From

years 1 to 4 1/2 she averaged a cold every other week.  When she was 3 I kept her home from preschool for three months due to my fear of catching even more colds. 

 

Since she has taken what you have recommended, her immune system has blossomed! Not only that but her skin now has a healthy pink tone and her evergy level is much better.  She stopped needing a nap after a week or so of taking your supplements. She used to snore, and that has all but disappeared, the first couple of nights she slept so soundly and stopped snoring that I had to place my hand on her to make sure she was still breathing.

 

She still gets colds but nowhere near the frequency of before.  I find the longer she follows your protocol the more resistance she has.

 

So thank you again so much!!!!  You have dramatically improved our entire families quality of life.

 

Please feel free to share this note with any of your potential of current clients.

 

All our best!

 

Heather Mandel, the mom, and Elyse, the daughter.

 

PS in June 2009 when all the school age children were contracting the swine flu Elyse remained healthy

even when her older sister did not!!!!!!

Just a note to say: Thank You! for all that you have done. I feel so much better

and am still taking the two supplements you recommended, the symptoms I had are

gone I am so grateful to you for getting me back to normal.

I have also lost 10 pounds, exercise strenuously three times a week and walk daily, and

I know that would have been impossible six months ago as I was too sick.  I trust your

business is good despite the economy.  Lots of sincere thanks!

Dear Taryn:

 

This letter is long overdue and I apologize for my tardiness.  At the age of 72, I am in

excellent health on no medication, pain free, energetic, have all my marbles, am

still working three days a week and volunteering and taking classes.

I have God to thank for my basic body and you for giving her a hand in maintenance &

upkeep.  When I do exactly as you say I have spectacular results. There is no doubt in

my mind that the vitamin regimen you have me on and the acupuncture sessions for

minor aches and pains have played a very important role in my health. 

I know I wouldn't be in the shape I am without you and I thank you for it.  You're the best!

After numerous sessions of chemo and radiation treatments my husband had given up all hope of ever ridding his cancer, then we met Taryn DeCicco!  Thanks to her interventions, not only is his cancer getting better, but he actually has hope now.  She took the time to find out the root of his illness, and continually shows him that she genuinely cares about him and wants him to get better. She has instilled hope where there was none.

She makes him see the positive where before there was only negative.  Every time we walk into her office we just feel the love and know everything will be alright. She has changed my husbands life for the better and we will always keep going to see her for everything.

My Dearest Taryn,

 

"Your capacity to truly care about your patients continually amazes me. Having been in the medical system over the past 10 years of my life I feel pretty qualified to assess a good, bad, or mediocre practitioner and you are the best I have come across.

 

I have never met a healthcare practitioner that cares more about their patients than you have. You take the time to know and understand your patients; not only addressing their physical issues, but their physiological issues as well.

 

When I talked to you the other day I was very distressed by the news and information (or lack thereof) that my medical doctor gave me, you so took the time to listen, understand and address my issues. I so appreciated your openness, honesty and willingness to work in partnership with my medical doctor to get me well.

 

I thank you so much for the sincerity and incredible concern you show your patients. I am so very blessed to have you in my life and I thank you so much for all that you are doing to get me well."

 

Sincerely and respectfully,

Esther Brown
