Dr. Batool Dawood is the founder and CEO at Enaya LLC, located in Blaine MN. Dr. Dawood believes that we all deserve a life of health and vitality. Disease and dysfunction often follows when our body is not given what it needs to be able to function optimally. She is passionate about identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases. Her treatment approach is “patient-centric” and she creates customized treatment plans that are unique to each patient. At her clinic, she uses latest laboratory and diagnostic techniques, along with a patient’s comprehensive medical, family, social, and occupational history to find the root cause of an illness. She then develops a customized treatment plan, using a combination of herbals and/or supplements, specific therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, spiritual/emotional counseling, and other self-care/wellness practices to treat the patient and bring patient’s body back to an optimal state. In addition, educating patients about their conditions empowers them to take charge of their own health, ultimately leading to greater success in treatment.

More information about my practice is available on my website. Appointments are home-visit based and are carried out in the comfort of your own home. Patients will be asked to complete an in-depth questionnaire prior to appointments. The first two appointments allow time for detailed history, explanation of lab results, and recommendations. Appointments after that are typically an hour. If cost of treatment or testing is a concern, I will work with you to figure out a cost-effective approach for your individualized needs.
