Naturopathic Medicine

“I’ve struggled with cystic, persistent acne for over 15 years, ever since I was in middle school. I’ve tried everything for my acne— from two rounds of accutane to every topical, antibiotics to weekly facials, etc—and have always been frustrated by nothing helping. It wasn’t until I started working with Dr. Shin that I’ve finally seen my skin clear in a way that I’ve never experienced before. Although I consider myself a healthy person, we worked a lot on my gut health in ways that I didn’t know was necessary or linked to my acne until I started working with her. My skin has never been so clear, and I’m so thankful that Dr. Shin helped me in this journey!” - T.C.

“My eczema seemed like something I have to live with for the rest of my life and manage with the strong biological topical cream prescribed by my dermatologist. I’m so glad I was able to work with Dr. Shin in balancing out my body and getting to the point where I see an end to my eczema! This is really life changing!” — G.O.

“At first I didn’t try to fix my hormonal acne because I assumed through time it’ll just disappear on its own, but two years later nothing had changed so I decided it was time to take care of myself. Thankfully I got connected to Dr. Shin and she gave a thorough and concise consultation providing me supplements catered to what I needed. Overall, it is safe to say she helped change my relationship with food positively and encourages me to continue eating cleaner for healthy skin!”—A.S.

“With her gentle patience and astute observational skills, Dr. Shin helped me make the small but important changes in my lifestyle that greatly improved my health. Thanks for her guidance and help, I was able to recover from and keep away health issues that I had for over fiver years.” —L.L

“My child was diagnosed with eczema at 4 months old. Her dermatologist recommended topical steroids and after trying to get off the steroids, my poor baby suffered with topical steroid withdrawal. I knew I had to do something different and that is when the God-send, Dr. Shin, came into our lives. Dr. Shin is the most understanding, supportive, compassionate physician I have ever worked with. She listened to me sob about my daughter's condition, offered reassurance and excellent guidance. After specific testing, supplements, consistent communication, and expert guidance, my daughter is on the road to recovery and she is THRIVING. Oh, and did I mention, Dr. Shin did all of this virtually. We live about 2.5 hours of the practice. If you're considering a more naturopathic and holistic approach, you must schedule an appointment with Dr. Shin. I will forever be grateful to her for giving us our lives back.”—K.K.

About a year ago, my 9-year-old daughter suddenly developed a severe eczema flare-up. It started on her face and quickly spread across her entire body. We were devastated. Over the next few months, we saw five different doctors—pediatricians, allergists, dermatologists—but none of them could help her. In fact, some treatments only made things worse. It was frustrating and heartbreaking to watch her suffer with no relief in sight. In our desperate search for answers, we found AlphaPed and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Shin. From the moment we walked in, we felt seen and heard. Dr. Shin listened to all our concerns with so much compassion and care. Instead of just treating the symptoms, she approached my daughter’s condition holistically, looking at the root causes and guiding us through healing with patience and understanding.

Slowly but surely, my daughter started to get better. Her skin began to heal. The oozing and painful patches faded. But what meant the most was seeing her smile again—seeing her confidence come back. I truly believe Dr. Shin and AlphaPed gave us our daughter back. We are so grateful for the care, the hope, and the healing. I cannot recommend them enough. —J.M.
