I have nothing but great things to say about Margaret. Before being referred to Margaret by a friend, I'd been suffering terribly from debilitating symptoms and practically no quality of life due to my ulcerative colitis. Over a period of 4 years, I'd seen various GI doctors, surgeons, and UC specialists, and I'd eliminated just about everything from my diet. In those 4 years, there were a couple of 1-2 week periods when I felt reasonably healthy, but I was usually miserable and unable to leave my home. UC had taken over my life.
After chatting with Margaret on the phone and hearing her optimism that she could help with my UC symptoms, I ignored my skepticism and scheduled an appointment. During the first appointment, it was immediately obvious that Margaret genuinely cared about my well-being and was committed to helping me overcome my symptoms and resume a normal quality of life. She's one of the nicest and smartest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and she made me feel at ease throughout the discussions and treatments. She took the time to understand my symptoms and the progression of my disease, and she talked with me about my life and my concerns so she could craft treatments that would work with my lifestyle.
After a few acupuncture sessions, Margaret had me start taking a couple of different herbs that she believed would help improve my symptoms, and much to my surprise, she was right! Within days of taking the herbs, the most severe symptoms were gone, and over the next couple of months, my body and quality of life continued to improve dramatically.
Since then, I've dealt with occasional minor flair-ups, but the worst days were (and hopefully still are) behind me, and Margaret's supported me through my healing even without regularly schedule appointments. I've now gone nearly a year and a half without major symptoms, and my quality of life has been normal for the last year. My improved health is completely due to Margeret's help, and I can't thank her enough. read more
