“Dr. Vora is truly an incredible doctor! She understands the value and importance of treating her patients from a holistic approach, and it has absolutely changed my life! Her intellect, compassion, and patience are just a few of many traits she practices with each and every one of her patients. She is the best of the best, and I can’t imagine having any other doctor besides Dr. Vora!”
Her mind-body-spirit approach along with patience and persistence proved miraculous again and I gradually became symptom free. Without medication. My skin has cleared up, my lifelong horrible PMS has dissipated, I now wake up refreshed, enjoy better interpersonal relationships, and found new passions and directions. Most importantly, I’m a happier, healthier, more balanced mother to my daughter. For all this, I feel truly blessed to have had the privilege of being Dr. Vora’s patient and will forever be grateful to her.
