I was going downhill fast and he suggested some certain Vitamins and left a few things for me at the counter and I was right as rain before it got a chance of really getting bad….. #noscrips …#bobisawesome!!

I have been treated by Dr. Bob Linde since I was in high school (that’s at least 20 years). His knowledge, expertise, and manner of treatment never ceases to amaze me. He puts his heart and soul into not only treating patients, but also teaching people to be herbalists. With the addition of Renee, they have gone above and beyond in so many ways that they serve the community through alternative treatments, herb walks, and educational classes and events. This place is a gem and I am so grateful to always have these two as my allies of health! Thank you so much for all that you do!
