My wonderful Dr. Sue! ❤️ She played such a huge role in my healing journey physically, emotionally, and energetically. One of the biggest struggles I faced was significant hair loss, and thanks to her guidance, I was able to get to the root cause and start seeing real, lasting progress. So grateful for her deep knowledge and heart-led care. 🌿✨

@dr.susanc is the literal angel! We’ve been working together for 6-7 years at this point! And we’ve healed and worked through so many things together and happy to have had 2 beautiful pregnancies under her care on top of that. I could go on and on - she’s amazing and the absolute real deal. Love her so much!!!🥲
@daymilanInstagram
@dr.susanc is truly a gift!! The most diligent, thoughtful, and caring doctor I’ve ever worked with!! She genuinely cares about her patients, and she digs deep to find the root cause and doesn’t stop until she has answers (and solutions)! Having worked together for the last 6+ years, she has been an integral part of my healing journey, and I am so unbelievably grateful for her guidance, her wealth of knowledge, and her friendship! ❤️
@robinelubinInstagram
This was such a great article. I always want to know what’s causing the problem and how we can fix it that way, not just masking it with medicine. This is exactly why I love working with Dr. Cucchiara
@boudoirbymelissamInstagram
@dr.susanc is THE BEST ❤️ this article is amazing and attests to Dr. Sue’s abilities to naturally treat patients. Test and don’t guess is a wonderful motto that can help patients get to the root cause of the issue. Amongst many things, she has taught me the importance of stress and emotional well being on our health; key components that are typically overlooked in allopathic medicine. I am truly grateful for you Dr. Sue and all you do. Can’t wait to read more of your articles 🔥
@dr.eveygInstagram
@dr.susanc this is so true! You’ve been through the infertility/before kids, the after kids and treating the kids! You’re a valuable part of our village to raise these kids. BTW, they love the homeopathic balls, they call them “sugar balls”. They think they’re candy and ask for them and they get jealous when someone else gets to eat them but they aren’t. Haha.
@kati.olsenInstagram
Dr. Sue - great article. You are indeed a national treasure ❤️. My healing journey started with Dr. Sue in 2022. Her deep knowledge about health & wellness for the physical body and the mind is responsible for my incredible healing. Thank you Dr. Sue. To more healthy journeys w 😊
@michelemyca13Instagram
So grateful to work with you Dr. Sue! Such a trusted source of information and healing. Your guidance is such a gift to the world❤️
@drmahvishahmedInstagram
@dr.susanc is truly a trailblazer. I remember when she was the first to really bring emotional health into the wellness sphere before anyone else. Incorporating this into my own practice really led my own clinicianship to a place from which I couldn’t ever imagine coming back from !

Before you book

Questions, answered

Still wondering if naturopathy is right for you? We’re happy to talk it through.

What is a naturopathic doctor?

Naturopathic doctors are trained in both conventional medical sciences and natural therapies, providing a comprehensive understanding of human physiology, disease processes, and the body’s interconnected systems. This foundation allows us to approach health from a whole-body perspective, using natural therapies to address the underlying causes of illness.

What is naturopathy?

Both. We see patients in person at our Manhattan office and in Los Angeles, as well as in Massachusetts and Minnesota, and virtually.

Your free intro call helps us match you with the right doctor on our clinical team for your needs and location.

Every journey starts with a free intro call to make sure we’re the right fit. From there, new patients book a dedicated first visit, 60 or 90 minutes, in person or virtual, to review your history and goals and map out next steps.

New patient visits start at $495.

We are not in network with any insurance companies. However, depending on the state you live in, we may be able to provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. In select states, we may also be able to use your insurance for labs. This is a cash-pay practice, and we accept FSA and HSA for appointments, supplements and specialty testing. You can talk to our office admin about our current rates and any questions about your unique situation.

We support a wide range of concerns, including hormones and women’s health, thyroid and autoimmune conditions, gut health, fatigue and brain fog, anxiety, hair loss and skin concerns. See the full list in Areas of Focus above.
