Dr. Liz is a wonderful healer. I have been seeing her for many years at the Alliance Institute for various medical issues. She had been kind, attentive, and most importantly of all - helped me heal!! Recently, she has been doing prolotherapy on my knee (due to a soccer injury). After many years of pain, I am finally pain free again. It's wonderful to be able to run and play soccer again. I read the other reviews. I have to question the one negative review of Dr. Liz. Did this person actually see the same doctor as I did?? Go to the same office?? See the same people?? There is no way. Upon reading more details about the negative reviewer, it seems that he/she is very negative about all of her contacts within the health profession. My guess is that he/she has some sort of chronic - hard to treat -illness.. All I can say is that I wish her well and I hope she finds what she needs. To sum up: I highly recommend Dr. Liz. I have given her name to many friends and family who all have had similiar experiences as I. read more

Dr. Woolford and the practice staff are amazing to work with. I highly recommend them. The positive reviews for her speak the truth.

Dr. Woolford is an exceptional doctor. The prior reviewer clearly has issues with doctors, if you view their other rating, it is apparently obvious that they do not like them. I am sure this reviewer has extraordinary pain that is hard to treat and is taking it out on any doctor that can not completely alleviate this pain. I wish them all the best. I am found her to be caring, an amazing listener, and extremely helpful in regards to counseling with acupuncture, menopause and nutrition. I have referred four family members and multiple friends in the Cincinnati area to see her. I have heard from three of them who have said nothing short of amazing things. I agree with Leslie in saying that we are lucky to have her in the Cincinnati area. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Woolford for many years. Her expertise within wellness medicine has been such a blessing. She has enabled me to overcome depression, obesity, and back pain. She takes her time with you in order to understand what your needs are, and then presents all of the alternatives available, answering any questions and concerns that you may have. Each and every staff member is always friendly to me, and the atmosphere at the center is very peaceful and healing. I highly recommend Dr. Woolford and The Alliance Institute. read more

Liz Woolford refused to perform treatments which are well known to help my syndrome, declared I did not have a tendon problem while holding documentation from my physical therapist stating I have at least 7 sites of tendonitis, insinuated that my problem was psychosomatic while holding documentation from multiple other physicians who all agreed on the actual diagnosis of my very real physical illness, lied that there were no Aqua Therapy centers in the entire state of Ohio despite her office being on the same block as one of them, never physically examined me, mocked me for educating myself about my illness, dismissed any treatments she was unfamiliar with, declared that treatments only fail when patients refuse to heal, insinuated that all people with illnesses are nothing more than professional victims, repeatedly referenced a book written by her bosses which she seemed to regard as a kind of bible and her bosses as some kind of gurus, lapsed into Landmark Forum cult lingo whilst accusing me of sticking to a false narrative/racket, implied that if I did not share her spiritual beliefs that I would not recover from my syndrome which is believed by scientists to be exacerbated by a gene defect of the MTHFR pathways, tried to sell me pseudo-psychology CDs and was just generally insulting, uninformed, dismissive, arrogant and completely out of touch with reality. Also, her acupuncture was mediocre, at best, only relieving the pain in my ankles for about two hours and greatly increasing the pain in my shoulders and jaw and her assistant forgot to remove all the pins from my right arm. Woolford also made the weird claim that attaching what is essentially an electrostimulation machine to the acupuncture needles was making them vibrate on some emotional/spiritual plane rather than the scientific fact that certain vibrational frequencies (including cats' purring, fyi) promote healing. Frankly, after my experience, I find it difficult to believe Liz Woolford even has a medical degree; the clerks at Cincinnati Natural Foods are better informed about science, tendons, joints, nerve pain and the methylation process than Woolford and much more pleasant to talk with. Those who are still considering seeing a different physician at The Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine should know that there is a very strange, culty vibe to this office; they reverentially give you a copy of the book the owners co-wrote when you check in and it made me feel as though I'd accidentally joined Scientology. I would not recommend that anyone, and especially not anyone with a serious health problem, waste their time or money at this place; given that they withold IV Glutathione for peripheral neuropathy and Prolotherapy for tendinopathy, it's worrying to think of what other treatments they advertise as offering but actually refuse to perform for more urgent and possibly fatal illnesses. My aunt died painfully and much sooner than she otherwise would have because of the same kind magical thinking that is promoted here; she believed she could cure her cancer with coffee enemas and that the same said cancer was caused by "toxic" people in her life she had to rid herself of rather than cellular mutations which needed to be halted and excised. Personally, I have no interest in discussing inane metaphysical theories, Astrology, Big Foot nor The Easter Bunny with physicians; I go to doctors so they can use all that science they were supposed to have learned in all those years of schooling and training to cure or, at least, treat whatever medical issue is ailing me. In the few days since my awful experience with Woolford, I've begun Aqua Therapy with a great physical therapist who physically examined me, studied my medical records and read up on my illness at one of the many physical therapy offices in the state of Ohio which offer Aqua Therapy, offices which Liz Woolford claims do not exist. 2/25/14: Strange that these recent glowing reviews by people with no or few prior reviews focus as much, if not more, on me than on the treatments they claim to have received from Woolford. Do you people honestly believe that pop-psych CDs are a valid medical treatment for tendinopathy‽ You're trusting your health with someone who does. Do you think being screamed at by receptionists or having to listen to the loudest couple on the planet bicker through your acupuncture treatment are positive experiences? Those are the complaints in my other medical reviews. Are those incidents in any way comparable to the degrading ineptitude displayed by Liz Woolford throughout my appointment with her? Not by far. Liz Woolford might be surprised to know that there's a lawsuit in progress against Bayer and J&J for knowingly causing the 'psychosomatic' illness that I and tens of thousands of other people have developed from their extremely dangerous fluoroquinolone antibiotics which now carry two FDA black box warnings. read more

I have been coming here for several years for chronic health problems. My experience here has by far surpassed what I thought possible. The medical staff is unbelievably talented. Everybody is friendly and patient. This is a no pressure environment. It is very relaxing. The doctors take the time to know you and learn about your health problems. I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I am extremely grateful for what Dr. Woolford and the other medical staff have done for me. I highly recommend AIM if you are frustrated with your health issues and do not know where to turn for help. read more
