What Our Clients Are Saying
Ed Billings
Dear Violet and Megan,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for giving us our lives back! I had given up hope for feeling normal again after the COVID vaccine and having Long COVID! Being overweight and not being able to lose my post COVID 25 pound weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, swelling feet/ankles, low drive and generally not feeling well! After getting treatment from multiple health care providers, neurologist, doctors that included The University of Iowa Long COVID Clinic I started self-medicating with mushroom coffee and multiple energy drinks as well as anything that looked like it would help. It helped me stay somewhat focused and some energy but hardly ever felt normal. Never new from hour to hour and day to day when the fatigue and brain fog would keep me from doing things with family and friends! At its worst I got lost three times going to Menards and thought I was going to have to give up driving! What a hopeless feeling! Then my wife Lorrie found out about Functional Medicine from our daughter in Nashville! Lorrie did a search for local Functional Medicine and found Violet Hunter! Hope was restored! Finally found someone who could treat Long COVID! Now I have days that I feel normal! Lost 25 pounds, joint pain is gone, feet/ankles don’t swell, my throat opened up, almost no brain fog, energy levels are up, she diagnosed me with gluten intolerance, found bacteria in my gut that is causing my heartburn that she can fix, my varicose veins are going away and I feel healthy! I’m still amazed that we have this cutting edge treatment right here! Thank you so much, Ed Billings
Hannah Okerberg
Dr Hunter is a genuine, caring doctor. She speaks to you in a personal manner that allows you to understand the why behind the tests, outcomes and treatment. She is prompt to response and scheduling is easy. I will continue to see Dr Hunter for my functional care and recommend her to others.
Charity Lovan
Dr. Hunter is very kind and always seeks to understand the root cause of problems vs. only treating symptoms. She spends time individualizing plans unique to the patient and is very conscientious. I highly recommend Dr. Hunter.

Staff was prompt and professional. Everything went great. NP Oneal explained everything and started the IVs with zero issue. Was a great experience, and I don't like needles.
