Dr. Woodrow's knowledge is vast and her experience extensive, she has trained with many of the lineage carriers of these esoteric traditions. While many "alternative healthcare" paradigms often feel unmoored and metaphorical, Dr Woodrow's touch carries a palpable authority whose effect is immediately felt in the different systems she deftly navigates. Thorough and effective. Wise and powerful.

I have been a patient of Patricia Rochette's since 2018 when I was experiencing debilitating…read moresymptoms from mold toxicity and a history of head injuries. In one session she reduced my brain fog 75-80% when no other doctor or medicine could! Being on her table feels like being held in a safe, compassionate space where my nervous system regulates and my breath returns. She works with the whole body, intuitively knowing how each part is interconnected, affecting one another. Dr. Rochette is one of many practitioners I have seen for this challenging illness, and I choose to continue to see her over others because of her ability to continue to support my body as my needs shift and change. Her knowledge, expertise and understanding of the body feels like magic - but I know magic is only part of it - she is truly well trained and continuously learning how she can better support her clients. Two different people recommended her to me - one friend who had a crushed pelvis and another with whip lash. Both women sang her praises, as I am today. I am truly grateful for her and each of our sessions. Thank you so much for helping me heal Dr. Rochette!

I made an appointment with Dr. Rochette for an osteopathic evaluation of my right shoulder where I…read morehad experienced inflammation due to what I suspected was a chronic pinching of the supraspinatus tendon. I brought an MRI study for documentation. She gave me a very nice back massage. She did not touch affected shoulder area. She did not even glance at the MRI. She gave me (what sounded like) a very dismissive, standard palliative on breathing (to open my shoulder area) and sent me on my way to the receptionist who billed me $375. No manipulation. No evaluation or diagnosis. No directives or advice for exercises or stretching. My take was she did not want to take my case (probably because she had no idea how to approach it). Weeks later there is no change to my chronic pain despite my extra breathing. From my experience, it is the receptionist who seems to know the most about osteopathic practices in that office. In the past I have had good experience with osteopathic practitioners. Dr. Rochette does not belong in that league.

I do not think that I can overstate the healing benefits I have gotten from receiving treatments…read morefrom Dr. Rochette. I saw her initially because I was exhausted from gut-associated panic episodes which severely limited my ability to exercise. She works deeply, attentively, responsively and quietly. After a few months of treatment, my body began to come back into equilibrium and I regained my ability to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It was like getting out of captivity! An added benefit: her warm and humorous receptionist Teri serves as a discreet gatekeeper for each session - I always look forward to our hello's. Though I have gone well past the point of healing from the issues that first led me to Dr. Rochette, I continue to see her regularly because of a remarkable shift in paradigm: I have come to see through this work that beyond learning to listen to the body, I have become aware that the body itself is listening.

Office surroundings feels relaxing in this residential neighborhood. Interior is zen like clean and…read moreclear as is her treatment room. Colors are pastel and healing (lavender). Dr. Brown's attitude is clear, straight, and unemotional in a good way. I had two sessions before yesterday and prior to yesterday left wondering what if anything was accomplished. Yesterday after a 45 minute session, I was absolutely astounded at my body's response to her treatment. She replied that in a way she didn't do anything except listen to my body, and assist in it's own healing of itself. I left in a wondrous state of consciousness: one of clarity and openness with my body literally breathing itself. I could feel my breath and for lack of a better word, my life force or chi running from my feet to my head as if traveling through an empty bamboo flute. My neck and back hurt as always but somehow I sensed that the "life force" was now accessible to those areas that had been blocked. I could easily go on and on here for the experience was totally different from my mind's "evaluation" of her treatment. What I can say is that I have found a true healer in Dr. Brown - a person that intuitively senses the body, respects it's current state, and somehow encourages it to let go of holding and withdrawal and then allow it's own innate wisdom to heal itself. Dr. Brown is the midwife holding the space and encouraging all to happen in it's own time with it's own wisdom. What a difference from standard allopathic medicine where it is the practioner that thinks they know what is best rather than myself. I encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful healer - and stick with her as if you are at all like me, it takes a few visits to realize that real healing is actually happening. Ten Stars!

This would be 5 stars only that she is unavailable by email…read more I had my first visit with Dr. Carmen Hering. She was kind, attentive and a fantastic listener. Which, I am gathering, is what osteopathy is about. Listening to the body and helping guide it to heal as a whole. I come to Dr. Hering with 3 years of back and sciatic pain. 4 chiropractors, accupuncture, physical therapy, rolfing, private yoga instruction. But, still haven't found the root of the problem. I am hopeful with osteopathy.

She'll say things like I would like to not see you on antibiotics again or take Tylenol/IB for fever but when you're in the middle of illness and she's not available like a PCP to have conversations about appropriate measures of care, what's one supposed to really do? I end up calling my PCP and the advice is different and the illness and pain/fever need to be addressed, and quite frankly relieved. The care is mostly wholistic but it's not complete so I feel unsatisfied at times. My chief complaint is that she tends to run behind schedule. Since I pay her up front and submit a bill to my insurance I expect more timeliness. And I have noticed that she has started booking appointments every 15 min online. As a reference point my family and I see other physicians where we pay up front and submit super bills on our own, and these other doctors almost always run on time. It's the courtesy of paying the whole fee upfront.

Nina Birnbaum is an outstanding person? And an outstanding doctor!…read more I made an instant connection with her the first time I met her: she is an excellent listener, asks very good questions, is well-connected, and a superior team-builder. When I came to her I had just finished up with several bouts of pancreatitis - very painful. Three doctors before her had left medical practice during a period of intense change for physicians. I asked her to promise me she would not leave; a rediculous thing to ask but just to say how scared and desperate I felt. I am now older and need more specialists, but she has been with me to help build that team. She is incredibly smart and has diagnosed a number of my situations just by listening to my descriptions (and then getting confirmation). She is kind... so kind. And she tells the truth. I am not afraid of dying, but I really don't like loss of control. Which means having a doctor who is honest with me and treats me like a partner in addressing my medical concerns. I hope Nina will remain my doctor for the rest of my lifetime...

The one-on-one care and attention to detail he provides is unmatched by any other physician I have had experience with. I really felt like he listened to me and my concerns and was so comprehensive in his recommendations and treatment options. He found issues with my posture and footwear that have never been addressed by any of the countless doctors I've seen before. He didn't rush me or talk down to me as other Dr's have done. Dr. Gratz has restored my faith that there are still good health care providers out there that genuinely care about their patients and don't think of them as numbers on a screen or a piece of paper. I feel so fortunate to have found a truly caring and genuinely compassionate care provider, I can't recommend him enough. After telling my wife about him, and after her personally witnessing the inattention, lack of returned calls and delayed appts I had been receiving from my previous Dr's office, she described him as an "angel". I agree completely.
