I walked into Dr. Steve's office in February of 2012 a chronic insomniac with frequent cystic acne and sleep apnea, not to mention a slew of CNS and back pain issues from years of athletic competition and weight lifting. I never took a steroid or pain killer but I knew there was something wrong when I began to average only 1-2 hours of sleep per night over the course of a few weeks in January of 2012. That was a pattern that was off and on for about 6 years but my breaking point had finally been reached.
I had seen a plethora of doctors who deemed, through traditional diagnostics evaluations and blood work, that I was "healthy" and that most of my issues were related to stress or "in my mind". I didn't have peace of mind with those reports and needed a better answer. I was tired of doctors treating my symptoms with prescription medication, which half the time didn't work. They were throwing band aids on a larger issue but wouldn't or couldn't take the time to help me figure out what was wrong.
A mutual friend who was, and still is, a patient of Dr. Steve begged me to give him a call and see what he had to say. I took him up on his advice and made my initial consultation. I will never forget how our first meeting ended. He said to me with 10000% conviction: "I can and WILL help you". I have never looked back since!
The first few weeks of adjustments were a shock to my body because I was in the healing stage, which for me was the first time I began to see my body for what it really was... a mess. With his nutritional guidance and his alternative medical approaches I was able to start breathing better within a few weeks and by the summer I was no longer dealing with sleep apnea. My cystic acne began to clear up and by mid-July (2012) my skin was consistently cyst free! The most significant change was my sleep and not just getting to sleep, but being able to stay asleep. By the spring of 2012 I was averaging 4 hours a night (double what I was getting before Dr. Steve) and on some nights it went to over 6 hours!!
Moving forward to 2014, I am happy to say that I am now getting almost a full night of sleep and my skin has remained consistently good. In addition to those benefits through his nutritional and alternative medical practices, I am now free of the burden of anxiety and stress that was plaguing me for so many years and remain a loyal patient of Dr. Steve. More importantly than being a patient I now consider him a friend. He was the first doctor that showed he cared about my overall well being and not my wallet.
The fact that he has patients whom have been with him for over 19 years says a lot about Dr. Steve as a medical professional and as a man! I am proud to give him my highest recommendation and hope that anybody out there who has or is struggling with pain, anxiety, nutritional deficiencies, insomnia, acne, or even cancer....Yes cancer, please give him a shot. He changed my life for the better and know he can and WILL do the same for you. read more
