Nova Clinic Dr. Shama Patel

I started working with Dr Patel late 2022 when I recognized symptoms related to the dreaded perimenopause. I am a retired ICU nurse. I am also a huge proponent in preventative therapies. I am extremely active. I eat a well balanced healthful diet. I care about the quality of what I’m consuming. I am full throttle 99.9% of the time. Perimenopause was wreaking havoc on my life. That had to change. Perimenopause and menopause aren’t talked about enough and options in treating it are fewer especially in western medicine. That is why I’m beyond grateful for Dr Patel’s dedication and expertise. I have a family history of breast cancer so doing the very limited traditional HRT is not for me. It’s worth mentioning that my GYN was very impressed and asked for referral info. Working with Dr Patel for the last year and a half has truly been life changing for me with my symptoms. I feel sooooo much better. The plan and care you’ll receive with Dr Patel is comprehensive. She doesnt just treat lab work and numbers, she treats the whole patient and factors in potential life stressors. She listens intently. She is brilliant and highly qualified and importantly, licensed. It’s truly disheartening that insurance companies are not on board with preventative therapies because services like those provided by Dr Patel should be widely accessible.

Dr. Bongiovannis presentation was very informative, and I love his approach to wellness and finding the source of health issues rather than just treating with pills. Hes exceptionally knowledgeable and really cares about helping his patients. Unlike the 7 minutes you get on average with your typical doctor, he spends a greater amount of time with you. Also, his team of people are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Dr Shama Patel is the best doctor I have ever visited. She listens, researches and addresses every concern. It amazes me how effective following her protocol is, she has improved my quality of life dramatically.Other doctors have said part of my issue was just from getting older, but those same complaints have disappeared by following Dr Patels advice. She has not only helped improve symptoms but she taught me why I was having them in the first place and how to stop them from coming back. She has given me the power to heal myself.She definitely knows what she is doing yet is humble enough to listen and make sure she is not missing anything.

Ive been seeing Dr. B for a couple of months now. I am amazed at how easy he is to talk to & the amount of time he takes with me during each visit. The office is very relaxed & comfortable. Claire, which handles the calls, scheduling & Im sure a ton of other things, is such a pleasure. I initially went to see Dr. B for anxiety & thyroid disease. During my initial visit we discussed my concerns & with this information Dr B had a real good idea what may be the cause. Dr. B is very organized & detailed. His recommendations are easy to stick with especially since he sends you home with a treatment plan that includes Goals, The Plan & Future Considerations. My initial plan included supplements, a blood test & a saliva/urine test. The first supplements certainly helped quickly. Once the results of my tests came back, which ironically were what the doctor had thought, he changed my supplement plan around a bit & I seem to be reacting even more so to the new plan.I have been very fortunate & blessed to have found Dr. B. He puts in the time to help others & truly wants to see people find answers & get resolution. Dr B is even working together with my medical doctors...how often do you see that happen?Thank you Dr. B & Claire...

I was introduced to Dr.B by my sister who was also a patient of his and had great success. I most say that going to see Dr.B was one of the best decisions that Ive made. I have been suffering with chronic fatigue, bursitis pains in my hips, increase bouts of migraine headaches and insomnia for a few years. Also, being an ER Doc who works both day and night shifts in the same week did not help with my insomnia. My primary care physician did all the standard blood work and could not give my any answers.My first visit with Dr.B June 2017, we decided on a plan that was best suited for me and had the necessary blood work/saliva/urine test done. The results were able to explain so much. I had so many food sensitives! Food sensitives can cause increase inflammation in the body and in turn chronic inflammation can put one at risk several disease process.Once I started cutting out the foods I was sensitive to and taking the supplements that were recommended I noticed a huge difference in the way I felt. Fast forward to Aug 2018, I have never felt better. I am sleeping better (except days when I have an early morning shift which is not often, thank God.) I cant remember the last time I had a migraine headache and I my energy levels have improved drastically. My bursitis pain has also improved. I had a little problem with pimple breakout which is no longer a problem. We have repeated blood work for certain antibodies and they have dropped significantly! All in all I most say that I am thrilled with my results and I intent to keep up with my new live style. I highly recommend Dr.B without any reservation, he is amazing!! Thank you so much Dr.B!

Im so thrilled that I found Dr. B by attending one of your info. dinners and signed up right away to be a patient. I was so frustrated with severalMDs discounting my Hashimotos autoimmune disease and not ever addressing the anti-inflammatory diet...after I had to have several surgeries. After this year, Im doing so much better with my test results and esp. how I feel! I was finally able to get back to joining a gym and working out after 5 yrs. of pain and low energy. Ive lost weight and feel so much better. Id highly recommend Dr. B and his true concern and time and great vitamin and supplements recommendations which have given me my life and hope back!

Dr. Patel is the best practitioner Ive ever worked with - and Ive worked with many to try and get to the bottom of my health issues! She is empathetic, extremely knowledgable, easy to talk to, and really cares, and I learn new things each session. She has helped me turn around my health by getting to the root of the issues instead of just slapping a bandaid on top. I couldnt be more thankful to have her on my side and highly recommend that anyone who wants to take a different approach to their health look into working with Dr. Patel and Wholistic Medicine Specialists of Atlanta/Nova Clinic.

After suffering for 13+ years and seeing numerous doctors for a chronic itching condition, Dr. Patel and her wonderful assistant Rebecca were able to unfold several changes I needed to make. This is the first summer I have been able to enjoy and not feel miserable. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend Dr. Patel.Dr. Patel told me it would take time, and I would keep improving. It’s been almost a year and I’m thrilled to have results, understand what triggers my itching and improve my overall health with all Dr. Patel’s great tips! Thank you!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr B and his team of professionals! It was a blessing I found them. From the first visit I knew I had to seek treatment from them. The research, the testing to the guiding and caring approach to my situation was unlike what a medical doctor would provide. Dr B helped me find the root causes to my condition (I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis) and begin a treatment protocol that immediately gave me relief from my worst symptoms.As a busy professional myself, I couldn’t take the time to let this issue take control of my day to day. Through customized program of exercise, supplemental and dietary adjustments I was able to begin feeling like myself again.I’ve kept up with the program and treatment and with Dr B’s help, I am closer and closer to remission every month. Thank you, Dr B and WMSoA for changing my life!

I drove over 5 hours to have my first consultation with Dr. B. That was about 4 months ago, and I am happy to say it was completely worth it. I came to him as a Ulcerative Colitis patient who was on and off steroids as well as many other medications. I was at my wits end and needed to take a different approach to my health issues. He has helped me much more than I ever thought possible. Today, I am a much healthier person. I feel so much better, and you cant put a price on health. Dr. B played such a large role in this transformation. He is very thorough. He will listen to you, take notes and then give you a detailed treatment plan to follow. I can now do follow-up appointments over the phone. I am so glad that I found this place. My only hope is that others will happen upon it just as I did. Thank you Dr. B and staff for everything that you have done for me and others.

I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. B by my daughter. After meeting in early June 2014, my blood work came back three weeks later which revealed that I needed to go on a gluten-free, dairy-free, and other assorted food sensitivities diet. How daunting! After much encouragement and support from Dr. B, my daughter, husband, and sister, I began the road to an amazing recovery from 12 years of debilitating migraines. Dr. B also adjusted my hormones, changed my supplements which were part of the solution, also, I believe.I feel great, have good energy, a sense of well-being and a little scared that I might loose this sense of balance. It has been 11 weeks since I started this journey - I started feeling better within 2 weeks and have continued to get stronger each week. I have lost 15 pounds without one thought about my weight. I stated exercise walking last week which is broadening my strength, having not really exercised in years.Has this been a difficult process? Initially, I felt very overwhelmed and didnt understand how I was going to do it. I was scared and angry, but decided to bite the bullet. At first I was mentally processing all the foods I couldnt eat, but after a wonderful experience at on a womens retreat where the owner of the bed and breakfast prepared incredible meals within my dietary needs, I began to see all the possibilities of everything I could eat. I continue to feel this way to the present!Thanks you, Dr. B, for helping me discover what I needed to do to regain my health!

I first started seeing Dr. Brad myself a number of months ago and was very impressed with his knowledge, commitment, and perseverance. After a short while of following his recommendations, I was able to see and feel a significant improvement in my health. Because of my positive results, I recommended that two other family members begin seeing him. They have also experienced positive results.Brad is extremely thorough and up on the latest information, tests, and natural treatments. I only wish I would have started seeing him several years ago instead of merely months ago. He has dealt with health issues Ive had for a number of years and done so in a short period of time.Rather than simply treating symptoms, Brad determines to find the cause of the symptoms and then treats the cause.I cannot recommend Dr. Brad enough and mention him to others on a regular basis, whenever the conversation turns to health matters.

After over a decade of not having answers to health issues, I searched for an ND. Through my search, I found Dr. Patel. From browsing her website, I could sense her caring demeanor. I made my appointment, where she spent her time patiently and empathetically listening to my entire health history. This journey began in 2018, and I have been a patient ever since. Dr. Patel is the first medical professional I have encountered who truly cares and looks after a patient’s complete well-being. Her model of care extends beyond physical health. She works with you to enrich your life in every aspect. She also can break down medical information into easy and digestible information. Working with Dr. Patel enabled me to find answers and tackle the root of my health issues instead of placing a band-aid on them. Being a patient of hers changed my life. Dr. Patel’s care and staff model will make you feel confident, secure, and empowered. She also assisted in preparing me when I was ready to transition into motherhood. From pre-pregnancy, to pregnancy, to postpartum, she monitored my health every step of the way. Dr. Patel is deeply passionate about her work, and I guarantee if you become a patient of hers, you will thank yourself for doing so.

I have been a patient of Dr. B’s since July of 2017. I stumbled upon him through research I had been doing on wholistic medicine and I am so glad that I did! My heath has changed for the better! I am 36 years old and when I first went to see Dr. B I was sleeping 4-6 hours a night, 15+ migraines a month, heart palpitations, asthma, digestive issues, etc. I was taking at least 6 prescription pills a day and constantly at the doctor for one reason or another. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired! I wanted answers and all I got was another prescription...not answers to why this was happening or what could be causing it. Went to see Dr. B and he talked me through his thoughts, order the tests he thought were appropriate, and took the time to thoroughly review the results and a game plan. Within 30 days of starting my program I saw results!I am so happy to say I no longer take prescription meds and I feel better than I ever have! I would say in this short amount of time I am 90% better. CRAZY! If you have problems and want someone to really dive deep to get you the answers you have been looking for go see Dr. B. This was the best decision I ever made for myself mentally and physically. I only wish I found him sooner. It takes work and dedication to stick to your plan, but with the results you see you will never look back. Thank you Dr. B for changing my life!

Words alone cannot express how delighted I am with the care I am receiving from Dr. B and his staff. I spent 5 years battling chronic joint pain, muscle weakness and fatigue and weight gain. I was totally frustrated with the treatment I was receiving from my traditional healthcare providers and had given up on ever feeling well again. Dr. B did the most comprehensive evaluation of my condition I have ever experienced. He created a treatment plan specifically for my needs focusing on the root cause of my problems. His care is not “one and done”, he adjusts the treatment plan as needed based on your physical and emotional response. Before my first visit I filled out an assessment and when he sat with me on the first visit he had actually read everything in the assessment. He spends time with you listening to your needs! He is kind and caring, as is all the staff at WMSOA. The focus is on wellness which is refreshing. I have been a patient just over 4 months and I feel like a new person. I have lost weight, my joint pain and muscle fatigue is almost nonexistent. I have much more energy and look forward to being active again. I highly recommend Dr. B and WMSOA. If you have been struggling with your health you owe it to yourself to attend one of the free seminars and become informed.

Ive been a patient for just over 2 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about the treatment Ive been getting. Other doctors would just throw tons of prescriptions at me, but the treatment plans and wholistic approach here were an amazing change of pace for me. Ive received treatment for bladder issues, digestion, acne, and joint pain, and in 6 months I saw significant improvement in all areas. We got down to the root causes of my issues (mostly food intolerance related), and rather than just throwing prescriptions at the symptoms, we put together a program of diet changes, supplements, and a topical probiotic that curbed my inflammation and radically improved my day to day. Ive improved so much that I only need an occasional visit to address new issues. Its been nearly a year since Ive needed a doctors visit, and I owe it all to the wholistic treatment plan we put together.

Dr. Brad and the entire team at Wholistic Medicine are truly a gift. The work they do to make a difference in lives is admirable. They are working towards a better health system, they not only get their clients the results they desire - but go beyond that and create a future for those lucky enough to be clients. To say I am blessed by their knowledge and care is an understatement. Highly Recommend!

I came to Dr. B. after being referred very highly by a friend. I had been sick for several years with no real answers. My health was going downhill and affecting my life and my family. I was literally depressed and starting to believe I would never get answers. I spent years, money and unneeded suffering trying to find help with different doctors. I had been told my symptoms were not connected, my suspicions were not correct and given antibiotics repeatedly for years for the same issues. Test given to me came back inconclusive.Dr. B. sat down with me and listened to my issues. He made me feel comfortable and that my symptoms were real and needed to be addressed.It was the first time I felt heard and like we were on the same page. After the correct tests were given, my suspicions were confirmed along with additional information. Once Dr. B. put a plan together for me and I applied it, I felt relief very quickly. It will be a journey and a new way of living. Dr. B. has given me the information and tools so that I can take back control of my health and wellbeing.I finally feel like myself again. I have my brain back with clear thinking, my energy back and a drive to take on the day. I haven’t had an infection since starting the program. My friends and family also see the huge difference in me. I feel excited and empowered! I am overjoyed with what Dr. B. has done for me!Almost on a daily basis I am telling someone about Dr. B. and how he helped me.

I had been struggling with not being able to sleep through the night for years. I was sooooo extremely tired. I had been to my family doctor and had testing done; everything checked out and was normal. I was foggy during the day, forgetful, and completely dragging by 1pm, yet I would wake up at 2am every night and be up for hours.I finally found Dr. B and everything changed. Dr. B really cares about his patients and cares to find the root problem of the symptoms instead of just masking the symptoms. He ordered testing for me and then set me on a path to sleeping with supplements along with some dietary changes to help re-balance my hormonal imbalance. My cortisol (stress hormone) was peaking in the middle of the night causing me to wake up and stay up. Then I would crash during the day and crash hard. I went from only being able to sleep 3 or 4 restless broken hours a night, to sleeping 7 hours a night and feeling better than I have felt in years.If you are having chronic health problems...youve got to go see Dr. B. Your quality of life will greatly improve after seeing him; mine definitely did!!!!!!

We have been seeing Dr B for several months to assist us with an few problems with my 23 year old daughter. Dr B suggested a four prong approach, as well as various supplements. We have followed his advice to the tee, and have experienced extremely favorable results in a very short time period. The practice is very well managed, with Claire being friendly, helpful and highly efficient. The location in Alpharetta is convenient with ample parking and a pleasant setting and environment.We are very grateful for the advice, assistance and direction Dr B has offered to us, and would highly recommend him to anyone that needs his services, or other possible options in the medical field.

I have been seeing Dr. B. for the past 8 or so months for anxiety and panic. After seeing many other doctors with a slew of prescriptions that left me sicker than before I finally came across Dr. B. and have continued to heal with only the need of supplements. He takes care of the core problem and does not band aid with prescriptions. Multiple times I have emailed him with questions and have received a fast response even changing supplements with out needing another visit.

Great team of doctors! Dr Tracy helped me determine the right diet and supplements for my body. I lost the weight I wanted to lose and my C Reactive Protein number dropped into the normal range!! I highly recommend this practice.

I have been seeing Dr. B. since Fall 2013. I initially went to Dr. B. because I kept clearing my throat and coughing. I had been to an ENT, Pulmonologist, Gastro Doctor and was told I had reflux and asthma. Dr. B. ordered blood work, a comprehensive food panel, changed my diet and my vitamins. He gave me a Treatment Plan designed specifically for me. After 3 months, I no longer cleared my throat, my cholesterol went down and my Vitamin D went up. I cannot believe how much better I feel since going to Dr. B. I would highly recommend Dr. B. and his staff. He is amazing.

This program is SO much more than just a diet. I learned a great deal about food, health, hormones, exercise, toxins and our bodies. I lost 15 lbs while eating whole, delicious foods and was NEVER hungry. My gut is healed and the detox has helped balance my hormones. This program has changed my life and is well worth the money, time and effort.

I have had stomach problems for the last 15 years. Visited many gastroenterologists and they all prescribed the usual: antibiotics and omeprazol. Last year I started to have severe stomach pain to the point it was hard to breath. WMSA did several tests and found the root of the problem. They taught me how to change my food habits and all the symptoms quickly started to desappear. After 2 weeks of antiinflamatory diet not only stomach pain was gone, but constipation and depression as well.

When I met with Dr. Bongiovanni I was beyond frustrated with the diagnosis and treatment that I had been getting from my traditional healthcare provider for years prior. I was searching for effective alternatives from extensive pharmaceutical solutions.Dr. Bongiovanni took the time to painstakingly evaluate my situation, leaving no stone unturned, and get to the root of the problem as opposed to only focusing on a near-term, cover-up solution.He outlined a plan for me that focused on mind, body and soul, recommending vitamins, supplements, and treatments that all aided in treating the causes of my ailments and therefore ultimately healing. He was patient, yet diligent with me, in helping me remain driven to achieve my overall goals that we set together.Lastly, the staff that surrounds him is top-notch. Totally professional with a kind and generous demeanor, with everyone in his office concentrating on the same thing - your overall wellness.

I love this practice!! They listen to you when you talk to them about your situation. They dont just gloss over things that you dont quite understand. Plus the functional medicine is great. I have never felt better. I wasnt always a big believer, but now I am 100% a believer in what functional medicine can do for your quality of life. Thanks Dr. B and team!!

I began my journey in wholistic/functional medicine years ago. I started seeing Dr. B. last year & am truly grateful I did. The service & care Ive received is truly remarkable. Dr. B, along with his entire staff are outstanding. There is a wealth of knowledgable & assistance in striving for a patients overall health. I highly recommend Wholistic Medicine ...

I have experienced significant changes in my overall health! Dr. B. is very focused helping me reach my goals. I feel like I am no longer guessing about what I should do but have a health plan based on testing and his expertise!

I struggled with migraines to the point of not being functional. After a comprehensive review of identifying what the root cause of my migraines were Im good as new now. Dr. B and his team were wonderful. I am very grateful.

I was recently referred to Dr. Bongiovanni by a close friend because Ive been having health problems for 7 years which are getting worse. Upon first contact of Dr. B and his staff, I was delighted! It felt very different than what I was accustomed to and gave me hope that I now have a real chance to correct my health issues.

We were very fortunate to be recommended to Dr. Bongiovanni. He has helped my family tremendously by treating various health concerns ranging from anxiety, asthma, menopause, and ADHD. He is extremely professional and is an excellent listener. We are all doing so well now and I wouldnt go anywhere else!! I highly recommend Dr. Brad...THANK YOU Dr. Brad!!

Thank God for good, honest reviews like Mr. Smiths!! Reading it just saved me a lot of money and time and aggravation. Dr. B sounds like a real beaut - more scam than the real deal. Sad that so many folks are looking for help and all they/we get is taken for a ride. Dr. Bs response to this unhappy client was priceless. He made the case for why Smith felt like he was scammed. Just priceless - good material for a comedy show!

Highly recommended.if you are looking to change your health and well-being Dr Brad is the best doctor to go to. He combines a natural and functional approach to your health issues to resolve them without drugs.

After other doctors said nothing could be done to help our 18-month-old daughter, we turned to Dr. Bongiovanni. He provided us with the testing that we needed and was spot on in determining the cause. Within weeks we started seeing results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bongiovanni for any issues you may be having. You won’t regret it. He’s very knowledgeable and helpful!

Dr. Bongiovanni is a very knowledgeable, caring physician. He takes the time to listen and understand before proceeding with his own thoughts and questions. He explains things thoroughly and allows for a back and forth dialogue. I am extremely pleased with his philosophy of understanding the whole person as well as his way of approaching the solution to an issue.I would highly recommend Dr. Bongiovanni if you are searching for a physician who has your best interests in mind.

Dr. Brad is not like most docs. He actually takes the time to get to the root problem. If you want to truly get your health on the right track rather than just manage your disease then this is the place!

This practice is a wonderful place full of knowledgeable people who truly address the root cause of health issues in the body. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They take a natural, holistic view to treatment and actually GET RESULTS!

Dr Patel is a scamster. Caused more problems with her supplements than curing.
