Patient Testimonials


The best part of Functional Medicine is watching my patients heal. When the cause of illness is treated the right way, you feel better! Take a moment to listen from patients who have regained their health and found healing.

You see, all too often, doctors make medicine much more difficult than it needs to be. Most of my patients have been sick for years, but after taking some time to listen to them I can usually identify several issues that have been overlooked or not properly dealt with. If you've been struggling with your health, or feel that your regular physician doesn’t have the tools or experience to help, you’re in the right place. Here are some of the stories of patients that I’ve helped find healing.

"Dr. Joe, thank you! I’m feeling so much better! You know that I had been sick for 15 years. My regular doctors put me through all these tests and still couldn't help me. Then you figured it out within 20 minutes. It's really been life changing working with you!"

- Randy Dinan

"I came to the clinic because I thought I had gut issues, and thanks to you I found it that it was mold, and I am on the path to feeling better. I've spent 5 years trying to find out the reason why I was sick, and I don't think I would have figured it out without you!"

- Kendra Linderbaum

“After COVID, I experienced a mysterious medical condition that was worsening over 12 months and affected various systems in my body and I was unable to eat, work or travel. Neurologist, gastroenterologist, cardiologist, immunologist, psychiatrist, naturapath were unable to identify anything. Dr. Joe Mather identified a mycotoxin problem that was also confirmed by lab tests. Now I'm recovering and feeling well again.”

- Belizar Marinov

“On our first call, Dr Joe had a strong indication, through simple, intellectual deduction, of what I was facing. He began gently with treatment. Four months later, my symptoms have improved greatly! When I first talked to him I feared a set of stairs and had no hope. Three months later, I am looking forward to playing with my kids and a possible summer return to running."

- Kamina Kiske

“I decided to meet with Dr. Mather after he diagnosed and cured my son who was having severe allergic reactions to ant bites. We have discussed a plan to reduce my risk of heart attack and dementia. A great goal which seems to be achievable is reversing calcium and plaque in my arteries (which I earlier understood was not possible).

Dr. Mather prescribed medications, limited fasting, strength exercises, and some new supplements.

Testing also revealed elevated lead levels in my blood. Dr. Mather prescribed several oral supplements to chelate the lead. We expect my lead levels to be significantly lower in 3 months. ”

About

Dr. Joe Mather, MD, MPH & TM

I am a Medical Doctor practicing in New Orleans, LA where I see many patients suffering from complex and chronic diseases.

Because so many of my patients have spent years of their life trying to recover their health I'm passionate about delivering cost-effective and practical care.

I graduated from the Tulane University School of Medicine and the School of Public Health in 2011 and completed my training in Family Practice in 2014. I treat many conditions but have expertise working with GI health, mold and heavy metal toxicity. When I'm not working with patients I'll be playing with my three kids, exercising, meditating or playing the drums.
