Dr. Meaghan Dishman Functional Medicine Naturopathic Doctor Acupuncturist

The effort from Dr. Dishman and the staff is unmatched. They really care about the patient long term Jacque has gone above and beyond to assist me . My interactions with Dr. Dishman have been life changing . Highly recommend.

My husband began as a patient of Dr. Dishmans in 2010. His cholesterol and general health was way out of the normal, healthy range. He had IBS symptoms and deep vein pain in his legs when walking for any distance. His seasonal and pet allergies were out of control. At 36 years of age, he faced the choice of being put on a multitude of drugs from his primary care physician, or, as he described it, taking his body into his own hands and getting down to the business of truly becoming healthy. After one visit with Dr. Dishman his life was changed. She prescribed an anti-inflammatory diet and ordered blood tests. His blood work revealed sensitivities to a multitude of foods. He cut them out of his diet and began to feel better immediately. He lost over 20 pounds, his blood lipid panel came back fantastic, and he was no longer even allergic to cats!Needless to say, I had to see what Dr. Dishman could do for me. I didnt have as many health complaints, but what I have learned from her has also changed the way that I eat and care for by health. I feel better at 42 than I did in my 20s! Finally, my youngest daughter is also a patient of Dr. Dishmans; she is a 10 year old who suffered from high cholesterol and IBS symptoms. Thanks to Dr. Dishman, after 1 month of treatment, she feels absolutely wonderful! Our family is now so happy and healthy!

I had been to ten other drs that passed out useless prescriptions that just increased my symptoms prior to meeting Dr. Dishman. Needless to say I was beyond frustrated. Patiently, kindly, and throughly she worked testing my entire body arriving at results and treatment that started to heal me. Releief and direction for the future, I finally had optimism! I can’t give her enough praise in words as I can be a challenging proactive person on my own. Dr Dishman thank you for all that you continually do for me.

I had carpal tunnel syndrome and severe lower back issues that began 25 years ago. I eventually had to give up a major portion of my dental practice due to constant pain and lack of mobility, particularly in my right hand and back. Previous physicians had prescribed medication, which only made me groggy and didnt improve the pain or mobility. I sought out physical therapists and chiropractics whose treatment results were very temporary at best. Also, tried yoga, which made my back and hand pain worse. Then I saw Dr. Dishman over 10 years ago. She performed a thorough evaluation, was very insightful, probing and compassionate with her questions to understand the history, symptoms and progression of my pain. She prescribed specific stretching movements, particularly with gyrotonic, an anti-inflamatory diet and acupunture, as well as hydrotherapy. After a few sessions and following her recommendations, I finally felt relief from pain and developed much more mobility in my hands and back that lasted more than a week. She was always very gentle, kind, listened intently and articulated her instructions for great comprehension.I continue to practice Dr. Dishmans regimen and have been able to live a much more active and healthy lifestyle with more energy than before my symptoms. It is with great honor for Dr. Dishmans talent, knowledge and expertise that I confidently recommend her without reservations. She is the best!

“I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 29 years old. In the years that followed I was diagnosed with Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I was extremely ill and in a great deal of pain. By the time I was 42 I was having trouble simply getting out of a chair on my own. I knew I had to do something.None of my doctors were really doing anything to help me. All they ever did was put me on another medication. I was on every drug they had and nothing ever improved for me. Several people recommended that I see Dr. Dishman. I knew from our first meeting that she was going to help me. I also knew that it was going to be a long, hard fight to get better but I knew with her help and guidance, I could do it. I had to literally change almost everything about my life but it has been more then worth it. My health has taken such a dramatic turn and I have her to thank. Now, I play tennis 3-4 times a week, I practice yoga 3 times a week and I play softball on the weekends. In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined that my body would ever allow me to move without pain let alone play sports again. Now I feel like I am actually living my life rather then just getting through every physically painful day.Dr. Dishman has changed my life and I am so incredibly thankful to her.”

Dr. Dishman totally revolutionized my health. After many years of chronic respiratory infections and numerous rounds of antibiotics, which were becoming ineffective and also giving me horrible side effects, Dr. Dishman was recommended to me by a friend. Dr. Dishman ran tests and found a number of food intolerances, as well as leaky gut. After a 3 month regimen of gut repair, a custom diet, and the proper supplements, I now am rarely sick. I also get accupuncture from her, which helps the circulation in my legs and feet. What a blessing she has been to me since 2012!

“I have known Dr. Meaghan Dishman over the past seventeen years and can say with confidence, Dr. Dishman is one of the most knowledgeable and professional physicians that I know. She combines her skills as both a Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist to treat the root cause of disease using comprehensive diagnostics and innovative therapies. It is a challenge in today’s diverse field of healthcare to find a truly Integrative doctor. Dr. Meaghan Dishman is one of these unique gems.”— Dr. Joshua Berka, NMD, LAc, MSOM

“From the patient perspective, Dr. Dishman has a brilliant, analytical mind and a deeply caring focus on causes and prevention of just about any medical issue. Her results surpass nearly all the allopathic medical advice I’ve received from Walter Reed to various regional medical centers, especially on gastrointestinal and endocrinology issues. She’s miles ahead of most doctors on the cutting edge of solutions, not the old “pills and surgery” approach. I tired of hearing other doctors say they practiced “evidence-based” medicine, when that was exactly what Dr. Dishman does so well.As an expert on Integrative medicine and highly skilled acupuncturist, she teachers her patients, inspires them, and heals them. The medical profession would do well to learn from her great example. Goodbye IBS, adrenal fatigue, and other long standing issues, and hello good health thanks to Dr. Dishman. Much of the nation’s medical issues could be solved by national licensing of and taking advantage of the valuable resource naturopathic doctors represent. North Carolina is lucky to have such a skilled physician.”— John Vann, Colonel, USA-Retired

Would 100% recommend Meaghan Dishman. I have seen her for about 3 years struggling with intestinal problems. No other doctor was able to figure out what was going on. She works hard to give thoughtful and carefully researched care to her patience. She is an incredible doctor and just an overall great human.

“Dr. Dishman, my friend and colleague, is an excellent choice when looking for a doctor to take care of your healthcare needs. With her keen mind and perceptive holistic nature, she will take the time to truly listen to you. She will I inspire you toward a path of vibrant health and wellness.
