Patient Testimonials
“Dr. Austin gave me hope after countless other doctor’s appointments. She was able to get to the root cause of my health issues when 5 other doctors could not. Dr. Austin is extremely knowledgeable, she truly cares and listens. She is absolutely the best doctor I’ve ever had.”

“Dr. Austin is one of the most patient and knowledgeable doctors I've come across. She took the time to not only review any notes I had written, but actually talk to me, and hear me out. She was committed not just to working together to find the best possible solutions, but the entire patient care experience. She really enforces the meaning of "holistic" in her practice, and I have full trust in her care.”

“Dr. Austin is THE best doctor I've EVER had. I only got to see her a few times before I was forced to move, but even in that short time, she was able to help me tremendously with all the issues plaguing me. Every session I had with her was very productive, and I loved that she would listen and really try to understand me and my body. Every other doc I had in the past would brush off my problems as "normal" and then prescribe me pills to fix them. Dr. Austin never once pushed meds on me or prescribed anything for an easy fix. Thanks Dr. Austin!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Austin for only a few short months and am excited to continue my medical journey with her. I’ve been dealing with a variety of medical issues for over a decade now and have yet to find a doctor willing to help search out root causes and go beyond, “Take this pill and swallow.” Over the past few months I’ve eliminated 2 specialists and greatly improved my overall health with her support and guidance. Dr. Austin is an incredible listener and critical thinker and I’m lucky to be working with her.”

“I found Dr. Austin two years ago, after a long search to find someone who could diagnose and develop a coordinated health plan to improve my health changes evolving during menopause. Often, I would just hear from specialists to ‘cut out the carbs and exercise 30 minutes a day’, or ‘that is due to menopause and there’s not much that can be done.’ After her detailed evaluation and recommended testing (beyond the standard annual-physical blood tests), she was able to recommend a customized plan that built towards the results that I had been searching for over a decade. During each visit, we’d celebrate the wins and continue to adjust my path. I can attribute my significant improvement in many vital markers including cholesterol, glucose and inflammation, as well as overall weight loss to directly working with Dr. Austin. She also was more than willing to help me support my plan to supplement care with my Primary Care Physician. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable, she always listened and educated on the options that were new approaches, while remaining open to where I was comfortable. She is super approachable, allowing me to ask questions to either get clear answers and/or provide additional resources if I wanted more time and information for consideration. She was very coordinated with my health coach as well. It has been a life changing journey that has renewed my excitement and commitment to my health with real results. I owe this success directly to her dedication to my specific needs.”

“Dr. Austin is the best! I became a patient of Dr. Austin’s…after seeing several conventional medicine doctors, specialists, and functional medicine doctors. Dr. Austin is always empathetic, understanding, genuinely interested, and goes the extra mile to investigate any of my symptoms, no matter how trivial. She also makes sure to include me in my treatment plans and is open to my questions and concerns which is often not the case for other doctors. I always feel confident and looked after under her care and I’m so happy I found her!”

“She's knowledgable and shares a demeanor that is comforting. Rather than "Here's a prescription, NEXXT!", I've felt like Annemieke knows health is a journey.”

“Dr. Austin has shown care and compassion in her approach over many years. She is dedicated to listening fully and waiting until a client has shared their perspective. Her analysis is thorough and thoughtful with sensitivity to where a client is in the process. She provides clear explanations of potential causes and describes the various options in a way that leaves the client empowered to make the best choice for them. We would all be in such a better place if her approach was more universal across healthcare.”
“Dr. Austin is a rare find among doctors in our current healthcare landscape. She exhibits exceptional expertise in modern treatments as well as a deeper understanding of the root causes of many of the issues that affect her patients. I have been Dr. Austin’s patient for two years. In that time, she has helped me navigate some incredibly stressful circumstances without losing sight of my health goals. She listens to her patients, provides clear explanations to questions, and teaches skills to help her patients make the best choices to continually improve and optimize health. She practices true Medicine 3.0, and inspires trust and confidence in the process.”

“Dr. Austin is an incredible doctor and resource! I feel so grateful to have been under her care for the past 3 years. She is one of the most thorough yet thoughtful doctors, always taking time to ask inquisitive questions to uncover the root cause or help me optimize my health. When I became her patient, I brought a lengthy health history, and she spent ample time thoroughly understanding it, referencing it throughout our journey together. This personalized and attentive approach made me feel truly seen and understood. I also appreciate how Dr. Austin stays updated with the latest research, incorporating it into my health plans. Highly recommend working with Dr. Austin!”

“Dr. Austin takes the time to really listen as well as review your past history and thoughtfully maps a course forward. Most people seeing a functional medicine doctor have been on a health journey for quite some time and have seen many doctors. Her caring dispositions is very welcome, and not that common”

“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Austin for a few years now and she has been a huge help in my healing journey. She’s helped me to discover as well as heal mold toxicity through testing and a specified approach. She was also able to identify a major source of underlying inflammation through genetic testing and dietary/lifestyle suggestions. In addition, I’ve been dealing with hormone imbalances and a recent endometriosis diagnosis. Her knowledge and guidance surrounding hormone health has been extremely helpful in reducing my symptoms and finding some balance. I appreciate her openness to some of my alternative therapies and she is always on the hunt for the root cause of my symptoms. She’s a very knowledgeable, approachable and nonjudgmental doctor. She spends time asking questions and going over treatment plans. I’ve had many health issues over the years and it took many years to find the right Doctor. I’m very thankful to have found Dr. Austin.”

“…Dr. Austin has helped me complete additional tests and then patiently answered all my post-menopausal health questions. Where my local GP had little to say, she expanded on all topics of concern, specifically: cholesterol, bone density, supplement use, and gut health. She has weighed in on sensitive topics with the kind of care found in a good teacher. I consider her an essential bridge to the conventional medical system, where doctors are siloed and short on time. Thankfully, she has helped me put dispirate pieces together to form a whole. She routinely takes time to answer follow up questions via email providing additional clarity, and direction outside appointments.”
