Dr. Kieffer is a gifted and skilled individual…read more Our daughter was born via induced labor two weeks early. At about two months old she started having problems with digestion, and was in obvious pain. Sometimes she would cry and then scream herself to sleep after eating. She was on breast milk and we tried different brands of formula and all sorts of combinations to try to ease her digestive problems. She would struggle and struggle to have a BM, her whole body tense and contracting, and when she did it was a small but non-productive explosion. She was born very content but her life was becoming a cycle of waking up hungry, eating, crying/screaming, and sleep. My wife and I were very concerned. We knew we had more than a "colicky" baby as out GP had told us. My wife committed herself to finding a solution and started researching the symptoms. It was a conversation with a friend of hers that brought up Osteopathy, as her friend's daughter had been relieved of acid reflux problems through Osteopathic treatment. My wife found Dr. Kieffer through an extensive search for DOs with specific abilities and familiarity with infants. Within minutes of sitting down with Dr. Kieffer I felt we were on the right path. Dr. Kieffer started out by asking about the pregnancy. She wanted to go back to learn what she could about our daughter's time in the womb. Obviously she wanted foundational information before determining a course of treatment, or if Osteopathic treatment was even an option. After a lengthy conversation she began examining our daughter. What happened next was awesome. Our tired, tense, fidgety infant "melted" in Dr. Kieffer's hands on the exam table as Dr. Kieffer worked her "magic". As she gently and slowly used her skilled and practiced hands to work with our daughter my confidence in our decision grew. Dr. Kieffer was soothing and comforting to our daughter and it was obvious our daughter was feeling relief immediately. That night after we got home from that very first visit our daughter had the best night of sleep she had since entering this world. So did we! We followed up with three more visits. Each time Dr. Kieffer used her skills, knowledge and ability to gently work with our daughter and each time we saw our daughter becoming a happier baby as a result. After the fourth visit Dr. Kieffer advised that our daughter seemed to be doing well and she didn't see a need for more treatments unless symptoms reappeared. We were prepared to go for treatment as long as it took. Obviously Dr. Keiffer isn't in this practice for the money, she genuinely wants to help people feel better. Now a little over four months old, our daughter is a very happy, healthy "normal" baby that sleeps like champ, has a healthy appetite, normal BMs, and is learning to laugh at silly faces and make a variety of funny noises. In my opinion Dr. Kieffer greatly improved our daughter's quality of life. As a parent I am very grateful for her skilled treatment of my daughter. If you or someone you know has a baby that is more than just a little colicky, or seems to be having trouble with digestion or sleep I very strongly recommend a consult with Dr. Kieffer.

I…read morewas a skeptic once, before I married my wife, whose family has been committed loyalists for decades. One Xmas, about three years ago, she gave me the gift of a visit to a "D.O." (not hers, as she was not taking new patients at the time)-- instead, I went to see Dr. Kieffer, and I'm glad. Think holistic medicine, fully clothed treatments, and unbelievable results. I had suffered from allergies for almost my entire adult life. Two visits in, I ditched the inhalant, and I've been allergy-free since. Lower back pain? Gone. Now, I schedule a visit about once every six months for a check/tune-up, and I feel better than ever before. I'm a believer, and I think you will be too.

I'm now six days post-PRP injection into my lumbar, and while there's still some soreness at the injection site, my daily pain level has dropped to a 1 or 2. It's early, but I'm really happy with the results so far. Dr. Derrington and his assistant, Jocelyn, are fabulous. They explained everything clearly and couldn't have been more professional and supportive throughout the process. Their office is also incredibly responsive to emails and phone calls, which makes a huge difference. I wouldn't look anywhere else for care--highly recommend!

Dr. Capetenakis misdiagnosed my Stage IV Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I was referred to Dr…read more Capetenakis by a functional medicine doctor, and was hoping that by establishing care with a "boutique medical practice", I would get the care that I so desperately needed. Long story short, I ended up having an excision surgery for Stage IV Endometriosis, and it was so bad that I also ended up needing a bowel resection. For being told multiple times during my visits that my pain was due to ovulation, my fibroids weren't an issue (he had women with 12cm fibroids get pregnant), and that the developing cysts on my ovaries were nothing to be concerned about, it was a genuine shock that my situation was so dire. My doctor that did the excision surgery shared that I had a life expectancy of 5-6 years if I had not been treated. With regard to the office experience, it is a shock that his office does not send out appointment reminders. According to his staff, they are too small. Given that my dog groomer, acupuncturist, and my therapist all manage their own schedules and send automated appointment reminders without issue, that is definitely an area of improvement. Especially when I was charged a $50 no show fee for an appointment that I never scheduled. All in all - they tried. However, when a patient is far too complex they should be referred out to another provider, not told that everything is fine and to move on. If it were his family, I doubt he would have taken the same approach as he did with me.

I had noticed…read morea huge improvement with her, not only in her physical health but mental as well- she looked and felt fantastic and everyone noticed. No joke... she literally glowed! And at the same time I was feeling frustrated and upset with my current health situation. I was seeing practitioners and even specialist and getting no answers. So, I decided to go and make an appointment with Dr. M and have been seeing her for over a year and a half now. She is amazing! Her and her assistant Sunny are warm and welcoming and make you truly feel like you are important to them. You feel like you are being heard and every ailment matters. Not only do you feel like you are finally being understood by a knowledgable professional, Dr. Maraio spends a good amount of time with you finding the root causes. She educates you and helps you have a better grasp on what your body is going through and how to alleviate the pain and stressors. For the first time I finally understood what my body and mind needed and how to take important steps towards optimal health. I completely contribute it to Dr. M and her guidance and vast knowledge. Dr. Maraio has not only been a doctor diagnosing me, but a mentor and a support system that has completely changed my life. If you are looking for answers or just better health, I highly recommend Dr. Maraio (trust me- I recommend her to everyone I come in contact with that just doesn't feel 'right' anymore). And to be honest... I think I cried my first couple of appointments because someone finally understood and didn't just tell me that I was getting older. I am so grateful I found Dr. Maraio and you will as well!

Dr. Lizotte freaked my husband out telling him I was going to have a stroke or cardiac episode. He insisted I should go to the ER because something was wrong. He insisted the ER nurse would look at my blood pressure and rush me back. Not the case at all, I ended up spending 8 hours sitting in an ER and left with no diagnosis, normal labs and EKG.

I was seen By Mr. Kasendorf on the 27 of April. I've been in Comp for almost 2 years. I've been…read moreseen by 5 different doctor countless times. never getting more then 15 mins with them. 1 doctor even retired and i was moved to a temp as well. Each doctor saying they are going off the others recommendation in a circle all while Comp insurance denies everything. no one every really explaining to me what may be going on with my arm but the bear bones descriptions. i didn't know what to expect but let me tell you the first thing the Doctor here did, after saying hello was to explain to me now he was here for me. That today was about me, how we will be getting to recovery and how that was all i needed to focus on. once he went over the paper work i could see what he was reading was as mush of a bother to him as it was me. To finally have someone that understands may have been the most relief I've had since my injury. in just 45 mins i had a set recovery plan with treatment that was going out to be schedule that cant be blocked and for the first time i see a way to getting the use of my arm back. on top of all of that where the other doctor said it was this issue come to find out there is a very common other reason i could be having my issues. Doctor here took just a few minutes to explain how the area works and why it could be one or a combination of both. knowing this i change how i rest my arm thinking i was defending the area but was pushing right on the other side where i may have been aggravating the other part causing the same pain in the area. Don't let distance from the Doctor here be a factor, He is worth the extra mile you may need to go to be seen by him like i did. When your health is on the line this man will do all he can to get you to the best spot you can and he's very down to Earth easy to talk with and even with 20 years in the trade still treats people like people. cant say that about my surgeon none the Comp Doctor. Thank you again Doc!!

Dr. Cohen gets the highest marks when it comes to healing. Within minutes, he addressed, found, and…read morerepaired a problem I'd been having since I was 35. I am 72. No amount of orthopedic or physical therapy had helped --the problem was structural. The fix? A temporary 9mm heel lift that got my pelvis moving correctly. (And that is not even what I saw him for!) People mention the price and, although it took a couple months to get the check, Medicare covered a lot of the cost. Because health insurance doesn't ever reveal to us how much MD's are actually charging for their services, we assume they are cheap or "free". They are not. They are very expensive. Top osteopaths like Dr. Cohen are healers, in the best sense of the word. They go through the same training, study, residency as MD's. But MD's can only test, diagnose, and give a prescription drug or surgery --the American way! Unless it's catastrophic ICU, I prefer being healed. I like to stay ahead of the game. Lastly, I have history of long-term emotional trauma, complicated by a recent concussion. That is what I went in for help with. I tried many things to recover yet Dr Cohen helped far more than any of the other standard treatments did. I highly recommended several sessions in a row, a week apart, to get full benefit of his work. I can't say enough good about his work. Highly recommend!
