After only three sessions of neurofeedback with Dr. Gil Winkelman, I am noticing a definite improvement in my concentration, focus, and ability to do many complex tasks without being overwhelmed. I feel as though I am finally coming out of a longstanding fog! In addition to having a gentle and kind bedside manner, Dr. Winkelman is very skilled and knowledgeable both about neurofeedback and medicine in general. He has also recommended natural medicines that have improved my overall health and well-being, and I look forward to further improving and maintaining my health with his holistic approach even after my neurofeedback sessions are over. I couldn’t be more pleased. C.S., 39 year old female, Portland, OR
Our experience at Insights to Health has been nothing short of life changing. I was referred to Dr. Gil Winkelman by a friend when I started having some major health problems in the fall of 2011. I had started having panic attacks and knew something was very wrong in my body- as this was not the typical anxiety I had previously experienced. Like many other women in my situation, I had seen my primary care provider, only to be told it was postpartum anxiety and that I needed to be put on medication. I didn’t like the brush off, and felt strongly that something was physically out of place, so I pursued Insights to Health and have never been the same. There are many things I love about the treatment offered, but what I most appreciate is how both Dr. Gil and Dr. Christie look at the entire person- mind, body, and spirit- and treat all of those components. When I first started treatment, I was a complete mess. I was grieving the death of my father, dealing with abuse from my childhood…
Dr. Christie Winkelman does one of the most detailed health histories I’ve ever seen. Not only did I have 6 pages of paperwork to complete before I got there, she had actually spent time reviewing it before I met her and jotted down some notes so we could discuss more. Their approach is holistic, and I mean it – they were counselors before they were NDs.Next, I’ll say you feel like you are being heard, and that you matter. They are not there to tell you what’s wrong with you – they’re there to help put everything in balance.This is NOT cheap – seriously. If you have insurance, use it. If you don’t… don’t be surprised if each visit is about $200, including medicinary. However, personally, I think it’s worth it.P.F., 48 year old female, Portland, OR
When Western medicine failed to acknowledge I even had a problem, or that there might be a non-pharmaceutical method for treating it, I decided to look into naturopathy. A skeptic at first, I am now a firm believer that naturopathy is the most natural, safe, and effective form of healthcare. Though the idea of taking a pill to alleviate all of my problems seemed alluring, it ultimately proved ineffective. After countless trials with different types of birth control pills and anti-depressants, I determined that conventional medicine’s cure was worse than the illness. As a result, I gave up treatment altogether and resigned myself to living with a sometimes-debilitating hormonal imbalance. One day, in desperation, I searched online and found Dr. Christie Winkelman, a naturopath who (according to her Internet profile) had worked with many women experiencing similar hormonal issues. Under Dr. Christie’s care, I have learned how the physical, mental, emotional, and even sp…
When I decided to go to “Insights to Health” to see Dr. Gil Winkelman for the first time it was because like a lot of people, I wanted to explore what Naturopathic Medicine could offer. After having a couple of issues that came up with being a 40 year old male who hasn’t always eaten right throughout his life, but became fed up with conventional medical doctors who only had time to discuss two issues per visit, spending no more than fifteen minutes with me and then just handing me a bunch of prescriptions that really didn’t fix my problems and seemed to make things worse.Well let’s just say that going Dr. Winkelman is not like going to any other doctor you have ever been to and to just give him a glowing recommendation is an understatement.Dr. Gil Winkelman and Insights to Health is the best-kept health secret in Portland, Oregon because there is no other doctor in Portland that listens to your health problems and concerns with more knowledge, understanding and empathy than Dr.…
I started seeing Dr. Noska because I was having pain in my foot. He suggested I start wearing a zero-heel shoe with the Correct Toes and he usually also does a cold-laser treatment on my foot/ankle/leg. The cold-laser treatments and the new shoes seem to be lessening the amount of pain! Dr. Noska seems very knowledgeable and I am impressed with how he listens to what I have to say.
I have never had a doctor this caring before. I have never had a doctor that would allow well over an hour listening intently to all my ailments.To have a doctor who wants to treat me as a unique individual is rare, in my opinion.I am a mother of four. Naturally, I was too busy taking care of my family and naturally neglected yours truly, sigh.I went to see Dr. Huffman with the last attempt to find relief for my symptoms. I have to confess I was a tad skeptical and at the same time curious about this naturopathic approach. After an hour or so of talking (mostly me talking), we agreed on a treatment plan. (You must commit and follow the instructions in order for it to work!) Within a week and much to my pleasant surprise, I felt better. Oh, and another surprise- Dr. Huffman called to see how I’m feeling. Jolly nice.Although this is a pricey approach, the outcome is priceless. It is a kinder and gentler approach to a long-term healthier you.Signed, Mother of Four Te…
I first came to Insights for Health to see Dr. Christie Winkelman about allergy and sinus issues. Within a few sessions she noticed that some of my headache problems were probably strongly muscular/skeleton in source and strongly recommended I make an appointment with their new associate, Dr. Nolan Noska. I am very glad to say I followed up on her suggestion to see Dr. Noska. Since childhood I had an area of my back that when pressed would cause a painful spasm. I would also get bad back aches from doing things such as washing dishes, canning foods, sitting at the computer and other activities. Another problem area was in my lower back. It would start aching and I would develop migraine like headaches and this was starting to get fairly often. I would always get “wash day “ headaches from the lifting and twisting motions of doing the wash. Well, after a few skeptical sessions with Dr. Noska I was very surprised and relieved by the load he literally got off my back. No m…

I saw Dr. Gil Winkelman a number of times regarding some issues I had with sinus congestion. He suggested that I follow a ‘anti-inflammatory’ diet and prescribed some homeopathic remedies that were quite helpful. I noticed a definite improvement in my condition and was impressed by the connection between this diet and the congestion. Dr. Winkelman was very knowledgeable of the possible naturopathic treatments and was very patient and easy to work with. I highly recommend him for your naturopathic doctor needs! J. Holmes, Portland OR
