We have been working with Dr. Bilstrom for over 3 years now (my husband, son and I), and I can honestly say it’s been a transformative experience for our health. His approach to functional medicine is comprehensive, evidence-based, and deeply patient-centered. Rather than just treating symptoms, Dr. Bilstrom focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, which has made a significant difference in our overall well-being. From the beginning, he took the time to listen to our health history in detail and asked the right questions that other providers often overlooked. He uses a blend of advanced testing, integrative therapies, and lifestyle-based strategies tailored to my specific needs. I’ve appreciated how proactive and thorough he is…nothing feels rushed, and I always leave our appointments with a clear plan and a better understanding of what’s going on in my body. What sets Dr. Bilstrom apart is not just his clinical expertise but his genuine care and commitment to long-term healing. Working with him has given me hope and results, and I’m grateful for his guidance on this journey. If you’re looking for a functional medicine doctor who takes a holistic, science-backed approach and truly partners with you in your healing, I highly recommend Dr. Bilstrom.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My regular healthcare team looks at my test results and says everything looks great. Dr. Bilstrom looks at them and sees lots of cause for concern. He also has answers. I love listening to him explain what's happening in my body. I am quite healthy and haven't been working with him for long, but I watched my grandson be healed from intense juvenile arthritis. That inspired all of us to begin working with him...heading off serious illness before it takes hold.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bilstrom saved our son's life. Our son was diagnosed with Childhood Rheumatoid Arthritis at 13 years old. He went from being our healthy, high-energy athlete to being mostly couch-bound, severely anemic, and unable to walk or stand for longer than a few minutes without crippling pain. His knees were the size of softballs and full of fluid and he couldn't straighten his arms or fingers because of his severe joint swelling. He was in so much pain that he begged us to stop trying remedies/NSAIDS and start him on auto-immune drugs. Unfortunately they only made him sicker and even landed him in the hospital with temporary paralysis of his leg. Enter Dr. Bilstrom. We immediately got our son started on supplements through Dr. B to help heal his leaky gut (clearing all the infections and microbiota imbalances present), but hesitated to start the complimentary diet with it because it would "just be too hard." While our son did see some pretty immediate healing, it wasn't until we additionally committed to the diet that we saw REMARKABLE progress. In our son's case we committed to the GAPS diet. Fast-forward to today, nearly 2 years later (2025). Our son no longer has any signs of arthritis!! His rheumatologist wishes he could take credit for his healing, but all he can say is, "Keep doing exactly what you're doing! It's astonishing!" Our son no longer experiences pain, swelling, or morning stiffness in any joints. He plays baseball, flag football, and basketball in organized leagues and is back to being his joyful, energetic, and physically-capable self! It certainly hasn't been an easy journey... And things definitely got worse before they got better (which is an expected part of the healing!) which left me questioning the process time and time again. I only wish I had met more people when we first began that could've reassured me that the challenging days ahead would restore our son's health... and his light. Because of what we've seen Dr. B do with our son, our entire family is planning to see him for in-depth gut analysis and treatment. We're all eager to heal our much smaller issues with his help!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bilstrom is the very best, when I first saw him, many years’ ago, I could barely get out of bed! I remember my first blood draw was 20 something vials, that’s how thorough he is. He has never failed to make me better, always finding the root cause of my problem, and I have had many over the years! He is by far the best doctor I have ever had!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a patient of Dr Bilstrom for several years.

Such a knowledgeable, kind, understanding and caring Doctor!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have known Dr. Bilstrom for over 30 years and about 5 years ago my daughter was feeling really bad emotionally and physically so we went to see Dave. His process of determining what was going on with her was a series of tests and it was determined that she did in fact have a lot of things going on inside her body. As a result she did have Autoimmune situations. She has followed his guidance and she is doing much better and more stable on all levels. His process works but it does take work to get on the right track so be patient and you will see the results. He is very clear and easy to understand so go ahead and take a leap of faith and call him for an appointment. You will not be disappointed and you will be on your way to a healthier life inside and out . I also had Dave do the same work with me and I have also made good strides and feel much better. The process takes time so dedicate yourself to do the work. Good Luck.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr B is MY #1. He is SO intelligent. He literally has an answer to every intricate question I have. He helped me sort my supplements and continue balancing my Graves diagnosis. I trust him with my life.Load more
Dr. Bilstrom genuinely cares about his patients!! My family had been seeing him for years for gut health and autoimmune issues. What he can tell you about your body from ask the years is amazing. Few other doctors go that in depth. And I live how every time you get blood work, it’s compared to the time before, sometimes the 2 times before, so you can see how you’re body is improving (or not). I’ve never gotten that from another doctor. Go see him!
