We are beyond grateful for Dr. Doreen and the care she has provided to my mom during her fight with cancer. The alternative treatments, including IV supplements and other therapies, have been life-changing. Not only has my mom experienced a significant improvement in her quality of life, but the compassion and dedication from Dr. Doreen have given us hope and comfort throughout this journey.
My mom’s strength, resilience, and positive outlook during this difficult time are a testament to the incredible care she has received.
Dr. Doreen’s holistic approach, combined with her kindness, has made all the difference in my mom’s health and happiness. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our family. She is truly a blessing, and we would recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, personalized care.

Dr. Doreen has been such a blessing during my mother’s in law cancer process, the treatment protocol has made her beat the odds and also have a wonderful quality of life during chemo. Dr. Doreen is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and patient, she always replies to our concerns and emails, her approach focuses on attacking every variable that affects the progressing of the disease.

CAUTION……preying on vulnerable recently diagnosed cancer patients!!!!! They quickly relieved me of $1400.00 !! Set me up on auto-ship and sent me out the door with a bottle of turmeric suppositories with no protocol or follow up scheduled !! When you call the phone which has no message on it and no way to leave a message. I won’t be fooled again !! BEWARE

I went in for a consultation after dealing with multiple holistic doctors who have dropped the ball and become lazy practitioners.
Dr Destafano and her staff are THE BEST I've come across in my 8 year of using alternative medicine and methodologies. She is thorough, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She answered every question I had, and there were a lot! I went in for a consult and spent 4 hours in her office and left feeling amazing! I feel so much relief knowing that I'm working with an amazing doctor, and also an incredible team of medical staff that back her up. Sandra, Debbie, Frank and the others are so impressive and they are all incredibly kind and supportive. I wish I lived closer because I'd visit weekly for all off the next level treatments they offer in this office.
Thank you for all that you do, I look forward to working with you and your team and I truly believe I'll finally get to optimal health working with Root Causes!

Quite honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a medical office. This woman was extremely arrogant and clearly hates it when patients have questions or are seemingly knowledgeable about their illnesses. She was dismissive and rudely cut me off any chance she could. Did not care to listen to my medical issues but rather more interested in getting me to buy her supplements and powders before checking out. This woman chewed gum loudly the whole 20 minutes and rarely made eye contact. I asked her about a specific treatment I had much interest in her office and she literally told me I probably wouldn’t be able to afford it.. so she wanted to put me on other things before that (such as her long list of capsules). Left paying almost $900 and totally angry about her persona and energy. Her office staff is nice, but this woman is just awful. I’m beyond myself that she gets any positive reviews. I felt as if she abuses patient’s desperation for healing and walks with a god-type complex. Ugly person overall and hate to see her face in local events or gatherings. I had high expectations with that visit, especially after almost giving the office $900. I left and invested my money on a significantly better office in Naples that has better technology and caring doctors.

—in regards to the response from the owner on 4/30/22: I know exactly where it was that I dropped that amount of money- which may be easy for you to swift away from desperate clients, so called Root Causes. I will never forget your colored bird bush you have for hairs and your little chihuahua figure. What you don’t have in height you try to make up in arrogance.
I one hundred percent have seen you at events with your husband, or whoever that less fortunate soul is. I am also glad to have found true medical help somewhere else, definitely not with you and always make sure to tell my clients to never set foot in your office. Have a great day!

Since May 2023, Root Cause Holistic Health has helped me get back on my feet from long term Covid and a thyroid issue that no other medical doctor could diagnose over the past year! .It took Dr D minutes to figure it out my issues and with the proper plan of care, within weeks I was back to normal. Dr D and her staff are truly a god send to our community and I had highly recommend her holistic services to my family and friends.

I always have a great experience with each visit. Dr Destefano is always compassionate and attentive. She addresses my issues with a unique perspective helping solve them at the root of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms like some of my previous providers. I will definitely be sticking with her for years to come.
