Optimal Functional Medicine: Rajiv L Yadava DO, St. Louis MO

This man is incredible. I've never been blown away by a doctors appointment before, until I had my first in-person appointment with Dr. Yadava.

I came in after noticing a series of symptoms I haven't experienced before. This was at a time when I had personally lost a lot of faith & trust in the medical industry.

Firstly, I was very impressed how quickly and accurately he was able to connect the dots as he was interviewing me about what was going on. The interview portion of my appointment probably only lasted 10 minutes, and by the end of those 10 minutes, he was accurately predicting subtle symptoms that I hadn't told him yet. By the end of that 10 min, he had even lead me to making connections I hadn't thought of until he asked. For example, I hadn't realized that the timeline of my symptoms had lined up so well with other life events until he started asking about them.

Not only did he connect the dots very quickly & intelligently, but the fact that he was mentioning subtle symptoms I hadn't mentioned yet gave me faith that he was correct in his conclusions.

At this time, his daughter was a new doctor he had brought into his practice. She was present in my appointment and I'm glad she was because it let me see how and why he had come to some of his conclusions as they talked amongst themselves. My appointment had barely started and I was already very impressed my his (and his daughters) critical thinking & problem solving skills.

When they examined me, I was once again blown away by how much information they were getting just from gentle touches. Had his daughter not been in the room discussing what they were doing with him, I would not have realized how much information they were gaining out of this. I probably would have thought he was just sitting in silence thinking had his daughter not been there to talk through what he was noticing.

They started assessing and adjusting different areas of my body. Honestly, I don't really understand what they were doing or why during this part of my appointment. However, the next morning I woke up feeling more refreshed and energized than I had in a very, very long time. That was probably the first time I had woken up feeling that great since childhood and I suspect his adjustments had something to do with that. Once again, I was blown away.

At this point I had actually started reaching out to friends and family members to tell them about Dr. Yadava and my experience. Finally, a doctor I can have some faith in. I know so many people who have been so let down by the medical industry. I'm really glad to finally have some help with an area of life as important as health.

I paid out of pocket but the price wasn't that bad and I honestly feel that my health is my responsibility so I'm fine with paying for it myself. I could have saved money by going somewhere else that accepted my insurance, but I honestly would have expected this appointment to be a waste of time with anyone other than Dr. Yadava. I'd happily pay out of pocket again to see Dr. Yadava again instead of simply paying my co-pay somewhere else. Like I said, his prices are very fair & affordable.

I'd recommend him to anyone & everyone. I'm sure his daughter will be just as exceptional as he is.

I sought out Dr. Yadava after starting to experience new and odd health challenges. Dr Yadava has been very patient and kind with me taking time to answer all my questions and explain his findings. He has also helped to provide holistic solutions to help solve my problems and I have started to notice positive changes. If you want to invest in your health then Dr Yadava is a great choice as a physician!

Dr. Yadava and his staff are very professional and friendly. I have been treated by Dr. Yadava twice for difficult and unknown conditions and each time went from absolute misery to getting my daily life back. I cannot thank him enough.

Dr Rajiv Yadava has treated me for my chronic pancreatitis pain (continuous 24/7 severe pain from last 4years). I had gone through multiple investigations including ERCP, Gallbladder Removal, MRCP, Pain Management and spent thousands of dollars on this but no medicine helped me. With Dr Yadava's treatment I am feeling so much relaxed now after 4yrs of pain.

Much appreciated Dr Rajiv Yadava for his exceptional treatment. I would highly recommend everyone to visit Dr Rajiv Yadava for any treatment or consultations.

Dr. Yadava is an exceptional doctor. A few years ago, he helped me heal a very serious lower back injury without surgery. Knowing that my preference was to avoid back surgery if at all possible, he worked with me over a period of months, and through acupuncture and a variety of other holistic approaches, my back was completely healed. I recently have been seeing him for hormonal imbalances and neck and shoulder injuries, most likely precipitated by my head impacting the car windshield in an accident years ago. The transformation in my physiology through his cranial osteopathy treatments has been surprising and remarkable. He is a highly sensitive, intuitive doctor whose passion is staying up on the latest research. His treatments have put me on a steady path to more vitality, mental clarity and physical flexibility. I highly recommend him for a holistic approach to wellness.
