I feel so blessed to have Dr. Ness as our family doctor. He is a true gem. Several years ago, before we were patients, we were on his waiting list, and it was well worth the wait! We had a home birth and he actually came to our house for our daughter's post birth check up, such a help not to have to put a newborn in the car and go to an office.He fully supports my parenting choices of extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping and no-vax.He is knowledgeable in nutrition and homeopathy and wants to treat the whole patients and find root causes, not just treat symptoms.Could not ask for a better pediatrician.

Because I'm a nurse myself with a holistic philosophy, his integrative approach was the reason I chose him as my doctor. On my first visit, he asked me about my philosophy of life. He cares about how I want to live in the world, & what matters to me. We are a team (along with his ARNPs) - in my health care. I trust him with my body/mind/spirit.

Dr. Ness is very patient and a great listener. He is open to ideas outside the mainstream. His style is cooperative, with the patient taking responsibility for him- or herself where appropriate. He is actually an extraordinary human being; the best doctor I have ever known from a human, caring perspective. He would be an appropriate doctor for anyone who wants an open-minded health care partner in their doctor, but not for someone who wants a medical mechanic. He does not act like God, and does not treat his patients as objects. In my experience, he is also quite wise in advising patients on the psychological aspects of health and illness, on the development of healthy attitudes and appropriate perspective.
