About this business
Unlike traditional medicine, which viewshealth problems as separate and unrelated conditions, functional medicine viewsthese problems as symptoms of underlying imbalances in the body andlooksfurther"upstream" to identify and addressthe primary causes of illness. Identifying the underlying causes and triggers allows us to unravelwhat led to the diagnosis rather than just dealing with its symptoms.

This doctor performed an HCG test on me. First, he struggled to figure out what antimicrobial to use due to my betadine allergy. He then could not find the opening to my cervix and so he perforated my uterus. He did not inform me of this. 5 years later, I am still having problems with infertility and this is one of the main reasons. No other provider has had difficult finding that area or cause me the pain he did that day.
Dr. Arata is one of the most compassionate, caring and knowledgeable doctors that I have ever seen in my 45 yrs of life. He listens carefully and backs up all his advice with references/data. I appreciate his diligence to constantly educating himself with new information. Dr. Arata is stellar.
Literally saved my life. Turns out i had impaired drainage internal & external jugulars and mri/mrv showed multiple TIA's. Quite scarry for me. The internal jugulars were pinned between C2 and my styloid process. No real drainage, I was in deep trouble there was no way to treat the internals. I had 4 good teeth pulled as teen and jaw narrowed vs widened caused this problem. Over 2 years dentist restored space in jaw & now have 50% drainage vs zero! Dr. Arata is great. He found this complex issue
Having driven 2hrs to see him after months of waiting for an appt. he spent 15 min listening to my symptoms and performed a QEEG and mailed us the results. He mis diagnosed she had Lyme (malaria) and said to try neurofeedback. His office staff was cold and focused on $. They never followed up to see how she was doing. They seemed so disinterested that I kept thinking the universe was keeping us away from him For a reason. A little compassion goes a long way.
Compassionate team and formidable doctor. Dr. Arata listens, listens, listens and is committed to helping me win my life back. It’s hard finding a doctor you can trust - I wouldn’t go anywhere else. -Mindy
Dr. Arata seems to be primarily interested in selling me supplements and giving me life advice. I really did not find him helpful or useful in any way. I also found on the internet that he got in a bunch of trouble with the FDA. I would not recommend him at all.
I sought out Dr. Arata several years ago for help with a chronic nerve abnormality I've had for many years. He performed a procedure on my neck that made my condition worse. I later came to discover that he was investigated by the FDA for this same procedure. I think it's abhorrent that he experimented on patients like me. It's hard for me to understand how a man like this is allowed to practice.
I was recommended Dr. Arata by a friend. I have a chronic condition that I have had most of my adult life. I had hoped that he would be able to help me. Sadly he is the same as everyone else that I have been to. Lots of tests and pills and no real or long term benefit. It all sounds good in theory but ultimately he was not only unhelpful, but very disappointing given the promises he made to me but was unable to keep.
Dr. Arata is selling hope for profit. He has sold me a lot of supplements and subjected me to several procedures all to the tune of thousands of dollars. Throughout the course of treatment he has preyed on my fears of my condition worsening while at the same time pushing more and more at me. During my last visit with him it dawned on me that he has never not told me that I need to buy something else. I just really don't trust the man.
