"Arthritis, fatigue, digestion issues and weight gain brought me in to see Dr. Shapiro. Many doctors could not make a diagnosis, so I had given up on finding answers. Because Dr. Shapiro spent time understanding my background, environment and lifestyle, she was able to diagnose Hashimoto’s and toxic body burden and treat the underlying causes. I feel better than I have in years, and the people around me have noticed my health improving, too."
—Mara, graduate student, yoga instructor, Katy, Texas
"We are profoundly grateful to know Dr. Shapiro and we trust deeply in her for our health care. Dr. Shapiro’s decades of experience and her vast knowledge of functional medicine and Applied Kinesiology have brought us back to health many times as we have struggled to heal complicated, serious illnesses, pain and multiple injuries over the past years. Dr. Shapiro gets to the root causes and we have learned from experience that it is actually more cost effective to drive six hours to see her for an extended visit than it is to go to multiple health care providers who give only partial or superficial answers. We are thankful every day."
—Rob and Sonia Story, Chimacum, Washington
"I deeply appreciate your practice’s down-to-earth approach and your persistence in revealing underlying causes for physical symptoms. Working with your practice helped me understand and remedy parts of my well-being that I had essentially written off. Having a knowledge base to move forward with is one of the greatest gifts I have received. Thank you."
—Shannon Richardson, fisheries biologist, Corvallis
"Because Dr. Shapiro attentively listened to every concern and then looked holistically at my body and lifestyle, she was able to improve the quality of my life AND my future children’s lives! I am truly so thankful for the knowledge, care, and honest concern that Virginia has for the entirety of me as her patient."
— Alicia Jones, farmer, Corvallis
"To me, Dr. Shapiro is a medical detective and a powerful healer. She not only carefully diagnosed and treated my cervical spine issues, but she also discovered the underlying root cause. I now am pain free and have much more mobility in my neck. Dr. Shapiro is ahead of the curve in health care."
— Ann Schauber, professor emeritus, Oregon State University, Corvallis

“I had tried so many other treatments. I had tried treatment with two physical therapists, massage therapy, and other chiropractors and nothing seemed to work until I went to her. I am so thankful that I did because I am now feeling better than I have in three years!”
— Elaine S., educational assistant, Corvallis
“I had been chronically ill for 15 years and also suffered chronic hives for four years, chronic fatigue, severe skin conditions, MCS, liver failure, depression…the list goes on. Dr. Shapiro was very thorough and informative in her diagnoses and treatment suggestions. Two days after seeing her my physical pain started to subside. The next day my hives also went away. One week later the pain and many other symptoms completely subsided! My GI tract functioned normally for the first time in years! My skin has cleared up. Best of all I have energy once again and am present! Thank you for giving my life back! I thank you and my family thanks you!”
— Faith R., Seattle
“Virginia is the reason I am alive and functioning today. Whenever there is anything out of balance in my body she is able to figure out what is going on and get it back into balance. I appreciate her attention to detail and her extensive and ever growing knowledge about the human body and its various conditions. She looks at the body as a whole and is able to peel back layers. I have yet to encounter another health care practitioner as effective.”
— Jessica King, LMT, Corvallis
“I had been unsuccessfully struggling with chronic pain and fibromyalgia for almost 15 years. Through her guidance I've learned to control the pain with diet, supplements, and chiropractic care instead of prescription medication. Virginia and Dan have huge hearts and a loving commitment to their patients,and this goes a long way to help with the healing process. I can highly recommend their office.”
— K. S., Corvallis
“Dr. Shapiro’s care has given me my life back. I was getting to the end of my rope, feeling so sick and tired all of the time. I was having such a hard time trying to make it through each day of work, caring for my young son, and life in general. Dr. Shapiro used a variety of modalities to get me back on track and feeling much better.”
— Kim R., marine biologist, Newport
“Dr. Shapiro is a gifted diagnostician. I came to her when I had lost hope in my body. Through her expert detection and rich body of knowledge, my health has not only been restored, but I feel better than I have in 20 years. She is a trusted companion on my journey to wellbeing.”
— Laurie Barshay, Reiki practitioner/teacher, Corvallis
“Virginia has uncovered the root causes of some chronic health issues that I was unable to resolve with other therapies. In addition, she has skillfully managed several injuries, in each case significantly reducing my recovery time while addressing underlying vulnerabilities. She truly listens and responds to my concerns, and her approach is compassionate, holistic, and thorough. The depth and breadth of her knowledge continually amazes me. I highly recommend her work to anyone who is tired of the band-aid approach and is seeking deep healing.”
