When most people have a scheduled doctor appointment they do not look forward to going. Well, this…read moreis not the case when you have an appointment with Dr. Lum. I honestly can't wait until my next appointment to learn about my health and what improvements can be made to live healthier and happier. Upon meeting Dr. Lum for the first time you can immediately feel very comfortable thru his kind and caring way. I knew that I did not feel well and that something was wrong with my health. I went to my own doctor and was sent to an endocrinologist to conduct some tests . I had many symptoms including darkness around my mouth, extreme fatigue, weight gain, etc. I had recently lost my mother that I cared for the last 30 years and after my tests came out "normal" the endocrinologist said that I was just deeply depressed. Well, I was deeply depressed, but I knew that my physical health was a problem. As it turns out through blood and urine testing so much has been uncovered about my health status. Dr. Lum is treating me for the health issues discovered including, MTHFR, heavy metal toxicity, cellular hypothyroid, vitamin deficiencies, neurotransmitter imbalance, adrenal fatigue, weight gain and years of constipation issues. I have been a patient for about 9 months and during this time there has been testing leading to discovery and treatment. Everything is not resolved , but so much progress has happened. Specifically , most of my diagnostic blood test numbers are improving. My darkness on my face has improved, my hair has grown more in a few months after not growing for the last 4 years, I am less fatigued and my I am feeling happier. Also, for the first time in many, many years I have become "regular" and truly thought this would never happen. I drive over an hour to go to Dr. Lum's integrated healthcare center and it has been so worth my time and money spent. Dr. Lum is also so kind to communicate with me thru emails when I have other a few follow up things to go over. Dr. Lum and the entire staff are so supportive of each persons health needs. I feel so blessed to be a patient and on the road to better health. Dr. Lum cares for me and I am certain all of his patients with his head (knowledge) and his heart.

I have been going to Dr. Lum for a little over a half a year and have been supremely pleased with…read morehis knowledge and care. For any one with an auto-immune disease (I have RA) who have heard of functional medicine or who are seeking an alternative to the usual immuno-suppressive drug approach, will find a skilled practitioner in Dr. Lum. Through blood work, food sensitivity testing (Cyrex labs) and genetic testing, Dr. Lum has been able to get to the root of my auto-immune disease and given me effective treatments and care to not only stop inflammation but bring me closer to true healing.

Don (Dr Sharnowski) is truly one of a kind. He is warm, inviting and incredibly generous with his…read moretime, but also really knowledgeable about the body and everything within. You won't find crystal balls here. You'll find a super nice guy in sneakers who also sells farm fresh eggs at the counter. I went in expecting to get adjusted (and was scared, because I'd never seen a chiro before). Instead, what I experienced was someone who actually sat down and listened to my history, connected the dots between several ailments (instead of jumping to prescribe one drug apiece to treat each one), and explained things that no one had ever taken the time to do. I was there about my back specifically, but we talked about my whole health. Instead of just prescribing an anti inflammatory (which is what my other doc did), he explained why we get inflammation in our bodies, and how to help reduce it with what we eat. I've also been on thyroid medication for over 10 years, and he actually explained what the thyroid is, and what the drug I take is, and what it does. But not in a defensive or overly crunchy way. He just openly explained in a way that I could understand it. I highly recommend Don to anyone with a body who wants to feel better. His approach is approachably holistic. Just common sense, whole body-centered treatment.

Dr Don Sharnowski is a doctor who is above and beyond all other doctors! Probably his most…read moreoutstanding quality is that he LISTENS to what his patients say. He is willing to explain things to his patients in terms they can understand. Dr Don treats his patients with wisdom, understanding, gentleness, care, encouragement and he is willing to "go the extra mile" to give his patients the proper treatment they need. He does not treat patients like they were on an assembly line or like he is rushing them out the door. Dr Don has fixed many of the problems I had at my first visit, one of which I had endured for 3 years. Dr Don was able to fix that problem in 2 weeks when others had not. Dr Don has also helped me loose 40 lbs so far. My total recovery is still an ongoing process, but should be a cinch with Dr Don's expert help! Thank you, Dr Don! You are an awesome answer to prayers!

I was very sick with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). My symptoms were debilitating…read moreand were both physical and cognitive. Navigating this little-known illness was terrifying at the beginning. I decided to work with Dr. Yakel after doing a free phone consultation. He was amazing and helped me every step of the way. Dr. Yakel was also great about communicating with family members and explaining the complexities of CIRS and the importance of social support for patient recovery. The complex nature of treating CIRS is unfamiliar territory for most patients at the beginning, and Dr. Yakel was very thorough and efficient about answering questions in the patient portal, which I felt was very important. At this point, I am almost fully recovered and I believe that my cognition is 100% where it was before I got CIRS. I am an academic and am so grateful to be able to do the high-level thinking and learning I need for my research. Never have I had a doctor be so invested and excited for my recovery. That is because Dr. Yakel has been through CIRS himself and understands the struggles through first-hand experience. There is no easy way to treat CIRS, but I would highly recommend Dr. Yakel for his thorough and sincere approach to treating this multi-system illness.

Dr. John Mahon has been my primary care physician since I moved back to Kansas City a few years…read moreago. He's associated with the Encompass Medical Group. My parents see another physician at the same medical group and recommended seeing him when I returned to K.C. Instead I was given an appointment with Dr. Mahon, and I've been extremely pleased with the care he has given me. Encompass is easy to get to, if you know where to find it! The office is near 87th and Quivira. Marshall Drive is the western frontage road of I-35. Just turn onto Marshall Drive from 87th Street and head north -- the building is on the left and marked "Encompass". Making an appointment with Dr. Mahon has always been easy, and Encompass seems to be very good about being prompt keeping appointment times. I've rarely had to wait more than a few minutes to see the doctor. Dr. Mahon is very pleasant and personable. It's a busy medical practice, but he always seems to have the time to listen to what's going on and discuss the problem thoroughly. I've never felt rushed when I see Dr. Mahon. When necessary he's referred me to specialists, but on the whole he seems to be able to handle most medical issues I've had. Conveniently, there are X-ray, sonogram, lab facilities, etc. at the medical office, so you can have procedures done there without having to go somewhere else to have blood drawn or images taken. Encompass also has some other medical offices around the metro, and has an after-hours urgent care clinic for evenings and weekends located near 103rd and Wornall, which can save a trip to the emergency room! Dr. Mahon can also be reached by e-mail, and responds promptly, when necessary, which I really appreciate. All in all, if you need a good, caring primary care physician, I can highly recommend him.
