Amazing care and support at Innovative Wellness Clinic, Spring Valley I recently visited Innovative Wellness Clinic in Spring Valley during a very stressful period in my life, and I can’t say enough about how positive my experience was — especially thanks to NP Danielle. From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt welcoming and calming, which helped me relax right away. But what truly made a difference was NP Danielle’s exceptional care, understanding, and genuine kindness. I was struggling with workplace stress and anxiety that had started to affect my daily life and health. I wasn’t sure what options I had and felt pretty overwhelmed. During my appointment, NP Danielle took the time to really listen to me — without rushing, without judgment. Her bedside manner was thoughtful, compassionate, and engaging, which made it easy for me to open up about what I was going through. What impressed me most was how thorough and knowledgeable she was, especially about FMLA benefits. She clearly explained what I could do to take a leave to focus on my health, walked me through the paperwork, and helped me understand how to communicate everything properly with my employer. Thanks to her guidance, the process felt far less intimidating. More than anything, NP Danielle helped me see that my situation was fixable — that with time, care, and the right support, things could and would get better. That hope alone was something I really needed. Everyone at Innovative Wellness Clinic treated me with respect and care, but NP Danielle truly went above and beyond. She followed up with me to check on my progress and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to her, I was able to use FMLA to take time off work and focus on my mental health — and it has made a huge difference in my life. I feel clearer, stronger, and genuinely more hopeful about the future. If you’re looking for a clinic that doesn’t just treat your symptoms but truly cares about your overall well-being, I highly recommend Innovative Wellness Clinic. NP Danielle in particular is amazing — knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely dedicated to helping patients feel better. I’m very grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to go back if I ever needed help again. Thank you, NP Danielle and everyone at Innovative Wellness Clinic!

I cannot express the joy and relief I have experienced as a patient/client of the Innovative Wellness Clinic. Danielle Gordon and her staff is amazing. I do not how I would have been able to manage the pain in my body without her care. My primary physician at Kaiser was not responsive the pain that I was experiencing. I was referred to Mrs. Gordon and things changed for me. I have been seeing her for a year and half and I know she cares about my health and wellness. I trust her with my body well being. If you are in need of care and feel like your current provider is not supporting you then please, call and make an appointment at Innovative Wellness Clinic.

From the moment of our arrival, she and her staff exhibited the utmost professionalism, attentiveness, and compassion. They conducted a thorough assessment, ensured his comfort throughout the visit, and communicated clearly and effectively regarding his condition and treatment. Their expertise and commitment were truly commendable and greatly appreciated during a challenging time. I highly recommend Nurse Practitioner Danielle Gordon for anyone seeking exemplary healthcare services. Much appreciated! The Bakr Family
