About Wholendo

What is Wholendo?

Wholendo is a holistic hormone care practice at 2100 Curtner Ave Suite F in San Jose, California. The practice names Dr. Shreya Soni ND as its prescriber. Dr. Soni is the founder, completed medical school at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, and completed a residency at the University of California Irvine. The practice says it takes a whole view of the gut, immune system and hormones, with a plan built on diet, lifestyle and vitamins. On hormones, it says it works on adrenal, thyroid and sex hormone function naturally, and with synthetic medications when necessary.

Its services are labs and testing, physical exams, nutrition and vitamins, referrals to specialists, and menopause care with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy when it is indicated. The hormone section also lists conditions such as fatigue, hot flashes, low libido, hypothyroidism and PMS. Office manager Amita is often the first person a patient speaks to. Hours are listed as Monday through Thursday, 10am to 4pm, though the About section gives 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The practice has a 4.8 rating from 43 Google reviews, in the category Naturopathic practitioner.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee or membership terms, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. It also does not say whether hormone medication is included in any price. Before you book, ask what a first visit costs and whether it is billed as cash pay. Ask what labs and follow-up visits add. If any plan is offered, ask what it covers and how to cancel it.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Soni ND writes your prescription, and what license she holds to prescribe in California. The practice's team lists only Dr. Soni and Amita, the office manager, so ask who else would be involved in your care.

Ask whether the hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and who makes it. The practice's own articles say bioidentical hormones are often compounded into personalized formulations, so this question matters. Ask whether the monthly or visit cost includes the medication.

Ask how often you would need labs, what they cost, and whether follow-up visits are included. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the practice does not say. Ask which days and hours apply, since the listed hours cover Monday through Thursday only and the two hour listings differ. Ask how many years the practice has been open, since no figure is stated. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic doctor to look at your hormones alongside gut health, diet and vitamins, and you can visit San Jose on a weekday between 10am and 4pm. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price, telehealth or weekend hours before you commit.
