What Patients Say
Great office, best doctors. Dr Kalva is amazing to work with. Appreciate everyone here in the office, so helpful and kind.
Absolutely fabulous place. Best doctors ever.
I have been seeing Dr. Kannankeril for a few years and she is actively helping to get my body balanced and healthy. She listens, is knowledgeable, up to date with new treatments and excellent in her field. I always feel confident in her care that she is supporting me to great health in a personal way.
Dr. Kalva is an EXTRAORDINARY GEM of a doctor. HE IS ONE OF A KIND. He’s compassionate, warm, and highly skilled in functional medicine. He has great knowledge on thyroid issues and progressive treatment. He’s a wonderful communicator with teens and parents. We have been so blessed to find him. His care has been transformative for our family.
Dr. Coy Roskosky is the best Chiropractor I’ve ever been to! I even trusted him working on my children. My son played football and Dr. Coy help tremendously!
This is an excellent dentist office. After moving to the area, I struggled to find a great dentist. Most dentists in the area were still okay with mercury based fillings and routinely told me I had cavities when I suspected that was not true. NIHA provided a healthy experience and in my opinion are much more trustworthy.

How to Find Out About Your Genetic Risks
A human being’s genetic blueprint is housed in our 23 chromosomes which is where the name of the genetic test “23andMe” gets its name. Each of our 23 chromosomes has an average of about 1000 genes, and each gene has an average of about 100 quirky substitutions, which are sometimes referred to as mutations or polymorphisms. These millions of quirky substitutions partly explains why we are all so delightfully unique in the way we look, think, act and feel about life’s challenges. Most of these mutations or polymorphisms are not considered to be detrimental, but a handful could be important under certain circumstances and cause serious diseases and other health problems, which is why it is important to know about them.
