I stumbled across Seth by accident, but I am so glad that I did. He offers a 10 minute consultation to hear about your... story and to see if he thinks he can help you, and as soon as we got on the phone I was very impressed and could tell by the tone of his voice he is someone with so much compassion, and he truly wants to help people. Also, this consultation turned into 30 minutes, and at no point did he try and cut the call short.I have been with the clinic a few months now, and I am always impressed by the level of care, which I have never received before from any other doctor. The whole staff are very quick to get back to emails if you have any concerns, ship out supplements, and do detailed walkthroughs of your labs and your plan to wellness. Everything is so organized and well laid out, and when we are very sick it is great to have all around structure and support.Seth listens every appointment, and is very open to feedback and he remembers everything, so when we chat I feel like a person and not just a number. The reason for the program is because as we know, treatment takes time and sadly things are not a 5 minute fix, so he wants to work with you long term to get your body back to optimal wellness.I also like that he is not laser focused on one protocol or illness as I have found in the past with other doctors. He knows that a lot of symptoms cross over into many different possibilities, and wants to look at the whole picture to try and pinpoint the driving cause of the issues.I have honestly never felt the confidence in a doctor that I do in Seth, and trust with your practitioner is important. Betsy, Sandee and Jenn are also great, helping with nutrition, mental support, and all office related things. Truly an outstanding team.read more

Seth is a great human being. He has developed a process to help you from start to finish. My first meeting was about 19... mos ago at his office in Austin. We went over my personal history since I was born. Having to deal with RA has been less stressful since I met him. Through a specific diet and supplements to first detox my body, I have been able to control my pain and little by little go back to a normal life. Even though I’m not there yet, it certainly has been a blessing to have found Serh and being able to work with him towards this journey. Recommend him without any hesitation.read more

Dr. Seth continues to give me hope on my health journey. He is thorough and creative, considering all areas of my... life, not just my symptoms. During my last visit, he asked me if my latest pharmaceutical seemed to be making a difference. When I replied that I couldn’t tell, he said, “alright let’s take you off it then. I mean, the goal is not to be on anything.” It surprised me, since in my experience with medical doctors, the response would have been, “well let’s try a little longer, and see what happens.” Clearly, Seth is not in it for the pharmaceutical kickbacks he can get, he is concerned for MY welfare. His background and experience give me confidence and I’m so grateful to have a care provider like him who is not giving up on my health.read more

I have been battling ME/CFS and autoimmune disease for 5 years. I lost all of my energy and enthusiasm.

I was so relieved to find Dr. Osgood! He has multiple certifications within the field of functional medicine. He took my entire medical history into account and considers the body, mind and spirit as a whole. His unique approach to treatment is exemplified by the utmost thoroughness, compassion, and enthusiasm! Dr. Osgood solved the mystery of my complex illness by uncovering the root causes behind my diseases. His treatment plan has me well on the path toward healing. This will be the first year in several that I can resume my passion - hiking in the mountains! I am so grateful for his care!read more
