Lakeside Natural Medicine - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Meister! I have been struggling with my acne for so many years and have tried everything. My dermatologist finally told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. Dr. Meister talked through so many options with me and made sure I felt comfortable with every new option. She helped me find out different food sensitivities and in just 6 months my acne has basically cleared up! As someone who has struggled for so many years it was such a relief to find a doctor who would listen to me and take an approach that was more holistic than other medicines. I cannot recommend this place and Dr. Meister enough!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Axtell and Lakeside Natural Medicine enough. After years of struggling with anxiety, chronic fatigue, and other unexplained symptoms, Dr. Axtell has helped me feel like myself again. Thanks to her guidance, I have successfully transitioned off antidepressant medication. The knowledge I've gained from her and the group classes has been truly life-changing.

Dr. Axtell has also been instrumental in helping my husband navigate his health challenges. We can't sing her praises enough. I have referred, and will continue to refer, family and friends to Lakeside. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Axtell and her team, and I look forward to having them as a resource for years to come.

I have had such a positive experience working with Dr. Meister at Lakeside Natural Medicine. I had been struggling with gastrointestinal and IBS issues for a decade now and had not been able to find any improvement or relief until finding Lakeside Natural Medicine. Dr. Meister was able to pin point exactly what my issues were during our first consultation and come up with a game plan of how to improve/cure my symptoms. After working with Dr. Meister for 5 months now I can honestly say my life has been changed for the better! I feel the best I've felt in years and honestly didn't think I could feel this way. I am so thankful for Dr. Meister and her medical guidance and would strongly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Aponte has really helped me with my issues when western medicine has fallen short. She has been patient and truly listens for all the information before diving in. She has set me up with a thoughtful wellness plan that includes nutrition and supplements to support me. My experience has always been positive.

I had been experiencing digestive problems (constipation and diarrhea, leaky gut, IBS, etc) for many years. Last year, I learned about functional medicine and decided to give it a try. I was not sure what to expect and was a bit skeptical at first. Dr. Joanne Aponte first had me do food sensitivity and stool tests, and then I made many changes to my diet and started taking different supplements she recommended.
Now, all my symptoms are a lot better, and best of all I know better what and how to eat. To get and stay better, you do have to be willing to make diet and lifestyle changes, and Dr. Aponte has provided plenty of good advice in all my appointments. Thanks!

Dr. Aponte has helped me this past year solve my hormonal problems and look into what was causing my hormonal symptoms all together. Within seeing Dr. Aponte for the first 3 months, I had received my period (first time in 3 years) and started to clear my skin up and also many other smaller things. She is very knowledgeable and I feel really listens to any of my concerns and questions. I highly recommend going to Lakeside Natural Medicine, their staff is always very friendly and the atmosphere is on point. Thank you Lakeside!

I felt an immediate sense of calm when I walked in the door at Lakeside Natural Medicine. The waiting area is very serene, clean and bright, with very friendly staff. I was very nervous for my first appointment, but I felt those fears and nerves melt away upon meeting with Dr. Meister.

I felt very comfortable confiding about my issues and was treated with kindness, compassion, and empathy- and most importantly, with a positive attitude in finding solutions that work for me!

Highly recommend Lakeside Natural Medicine.

I had been dealing w/ respiratory issues for almost 8 months. Working with traditional doctors, they just kept trying to treat the symptoms I was having vs trying to identify why I was dealing w/ these issues. After working w/ Dr. Aponte for the first 3 months I saw significant changes in my symptoms and quality of life. I have now been a patient for 8 months and the care & amazing push to continue to find the root cause of any health issue is refreshing. Following my wellness plans Dr. Aponte has provided, my symptoms have improved & I feel 90% better. I will continue to see Dr. Aponte for any related or new issues that arise. Also, the option of being able to have appointments in person, virtual, or over the phone is helpful for any schedule.
