Testimonials

Here are things students, patients, and colleagues are saying about Dr. Petley and Maine Center for Natural Health:

Clinic:

“My experience with Dr. Petley and his skills, knowledge, and intuition has been incredible.  The day after a visit to the ER for abdominal pain, I went to Dr. Petley.  The ER doctors wanted to remove my gallbladder even though their tests showed nothing.  I decided not to choose that option.  Dr. Petley discovered the pain I was experiencing was related to a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes and together we corrected the entire digestive tract.  Thank you, Dr. Petley, for saving my gallbladder.” Female, 2017

“Dr. Petley has been a fabulous source of information for me – in a few short weeks he has uncovered the reason for several of my longstanding health issues – the most profound knowledge for me is that the adrenal exhaustion I’m prone to is an underlying cause of my chronic widespread body pain, as well as my periodic bouts with balance and vertigo. Through giving me this information, and through a health support plan that’s customized for the particulars of my body, I have high hope that things that have plagued me for decades will now be resolved.” Female, 2016

“Dr. Petley is a compassionate practitioner with a keen eye and wealth of knowledge in natural therapies. His training as an herbalist before becoming an ND makes him an expert in botanical medicines in particular. I’m always astonished by the thoroughness and long-lasting impact of his recommendations.” Dr. Aline Potvin, ND, 2016

“Hey, I wanted to thank you for telling about Dr. Nate Petley. Wow. I had my first visit with him in February and was absolutely blown away by his waiting room, his friendly, sunshiny, confident, and reassuring professional demeanor.  And even the sweet fragrances of all the herbal products, wow! Within two days of beginning treatment with him I made gains that far surpassed any of the past ten years.” Male, 2017. Posted with permission, a text from one patient to another.
