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.

Her professional certification is in women’s health. She is also a certified practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine.

Catherine joined Newbridge in 2014, after working at Riverside Family Physicians for 21 years and Fairview Clinic Riverside for 4 years. She works to understand the “why” behind the symptoms and addresses the underlying problems. She finds it interesting, challenging, and gratifying to support healing in this way.

Catherine recognizes that good health depends on one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. Through her practice, she discusses and supports each area to bring her patients full health and healing. Her special areas of interest include deeply listening to each person’s story, mental health challenges–especially depression and anxiety, and gut health.

Dr. Dolan’s educational background includes a BS in Chemistry from Mundelein College in Chicago, MD from University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, family Practice residency at the University of Minnesota- Fairview-St Mary’s, and then she became Board certified in Family Medicine. So much more learning came from listening to and learning from patients over the years, working with many excellent colleagues, and regular conferences on Holistic/Integrative Medicine. She is a member of the Minnesota Holistic Medical Group, the ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

In addition to work, she enjoys time with her husband, children and grandchildren, extended family and friends. She practices mindfulness and deepening her spiritual life, yoga, gardening and is especially enjoying her first season tickets to watch the Minnesota Gophers Women Basketball team!
