Testimonials

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in November and started on intravenous chemotherapy medication in December. Over the following 18 months I experienced deteriorating balance and walking issues. When I first learned about Dr. Cole, I did not know anything about Functional Medicine. Being medical professionals, my husband and I did our research and we were all in. I also have full support from my Primary Care Physician. I have been under Dr. Cole’s care for 8 months. My mobility and balance have begun to improve. Dr. Cole and his health associates are very knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful. They all will do anything they can to assist me. I plan to continue with my journey and look forward to continuing improvements in my health.

I am so grateful for the care of Dr. Cole and his entire team. After trying almost everything to make myself feel more energized and lose weight they were able to get to the root of my problems and support me throughout the entire journey. I have learned so much about myself throughout the process and now have created life long habits to optimize my health.

I have been working with Dr. Cole and his amazing team for around 10 months now and have seen a major transformation during that time. Prior to seeing Dr. Cole I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and IBS so I knew my thyroid was not functioning properly. I had somewhat controlled it with medication but never truly felt as well as I wanted to. Also my stomach issues were never really addressed and having them since late teenage years, I considered them my normal. Dr. Cole and his team were much more thorough than any other medical experience I had ever had. Now, I feel so much more clear, less tired and no longer have daily stomach issues. My low-level general anxiety feelings have also decreased remarkably; something I had not even considered as connected to my other symptoms. The process felt very supportive and was so thorough that I knew I was in great hands. It was finally time to be more serious with my health journey and I’m so happy I found Dr. Cole to guide me through it.

For more than half of my life, I have struggled with various health issues – ranging from chronic infections, debilitating food allergies and sensitivities, and a compromised immune system. Since 2016, my quality of life and health took a turn for the worst and continued to decline. After seeing numerous doctors in mainstream medicine, I was left with more questions and no answers, let alone the root cause of my issues. A year ago, I met Dr. Cole and decided to put my trust in him, his team, and functional medicine. Today, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Cole and his team – for their everyday compassion, incredible support and encouragement, and most importantly, for giving me my life back and feeling better than I have in years. I’ve learned a lot about myself, what works for me, and I’m looking forward to continuing my health and wellness journey to become my best self.

I have found my tribe with Dr. Cole and his team; and for that I am eternally grateful. I began experiencing health issues at a young age, and over the course of 25 years, I have seen numerous specialists. Those experiences were always the same, it was just the doctor’s faces that would change. My personal values regarding health were disregarded, and I was only offered pharmaceuticals, surgery, or a referral to see someone else. Even as a teenager, none of these options ever made any sense to me, so over the many years I learned to cope as best I could while making my number one priority being pouring my energy into living a lifestyle that supported wellness.

After over two decades, I recommitted myself to finding a practitioner that was in alignment with my desired approach towards health. I quickly discovered that functional medicine was not very accessible in my area, but I continued searching and educating myself, hoping my efforts would provoke some sort of breakthrough.

By June of 2019, when I made my first drive from Chicago to Pittsburgh, I was exhausted yet determined. This ultimately was the pivotal moment- everything was different. With Dr. Cole, I had a thorough consultation and extensive testing so that no stone was left unturned. I felt heard, and from that day forward I had answers. I have been following the clear protocol for healing outlined for me ever since, with the amazing guidance and support from Dr. Cole and his team every step of the way. I am 7 months into my journey and have experienced significant improvements thus far, which has instilled a tremendous amount of hope, while revitalizing my optimism towards ultimately being able to live my life to its fullest. And undoubtedly, I have Dr. Cole and his amazing team to thank for that!

Most of my life I relied on western medicine when I didn’t feel good or got sick. That changed a few years ago when I just didn’t feel well and began experiencing chronic pain. I went from doctor to doctor and specialist to specialist and no one could find anything wrong. Doctors didn’t look at me as a whole person and they wanted to treat each of my symptoms with a medication – one pill for every ill. That’s when I decided to become my own health advocate. My journey took me to holistic doctors, a nutritionist, a naturopath, and spending thousands of hours researching but I never got any answers or any pain relief. I was very frustrated because everyone promised me they could help, but I was always let down. This took a huge toll on my emotions because I felt like I would never get answers or feel good again.

Everything changed once I met Dr. Cole and his staff. They were the first people to look at me and treat me as a whole person, addressing my physical pain and emotional wounds. Dr. Cole did an extensive interview that spanned my entire life and he ran many tests that no one else did and he identified the root cause of my chronic pain. He pinpointed the cause and then developed a customized recovery protocol specifically tailored to me. He explained that he had seen many cases similar to mine which told me that I was at the right place. It is so refreshing to work with a staff that not only knew how to help me physically recover, but they also showed a great deal of empathy and compassion through every step of my journey. They also understood that my identity had been taken over by my illness and they encouraged and helped me begin my emotional recovery too.

I’m only a few months in, but I know in my heart that I’m with the right doctor and I am finally on the right path to becoming pain free and feeling normal again for the first time in a very long time.

The last couple of years, I suffered from severe fatigue, brain fog, emotional instability, and other symptoms that made it nearly impossible to cope with my responsibilities as a wife and a mother of five children. It got so bad that I was always tired (even in the mornings) and stressed out, often had zero motivation, and was slowly gaining weight I couldn’t lose. When I skipped my morning coffee, I could count on a headache that day, and I frequently had stomach pains.

After only four months with Dr. Cole’s program, I have energy and a drive for life that I haven’t had in years. My weight is down to what it was before I got married, and I’m enjoying a stable mindset for the most part. I still get tired some afternoons, but I feel rested after sleeping, and often wake up mornings without an alarm. My stomach pains, headaches, and brain fog have disappeared, my mind is much clearer, and I am enjoying life with my family again.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr Cole and his team. My experience with them has been nothing but positive. Their process for establishing a care plan and their prompt and knowledgeable email support is top-notch.

I had been struggling with health issues for over 21 years, going from one treatment to the next without any results. I was reluctant to give up because I knew that one day I would find a cure. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Will and his team. This is the first time in my life where we have identified the root cause of my issues and treated them. I’ve found healing and freedom. After going to over a hundred doctors in my life, I have to say Dr. Will has been the best and most knowledgeable doctor I have worked with and would recommend him to anyone.

I had become accustomed to living cold, achy, digestively challenged, emotionally depleted and just plain exhausted before I met Dr. Cole. I remember coming home and crying after I met Dr.Cole, because I felt heard for the first time and I felt safe knowing that there was a plan to change all that I was feeling and going through. I never once thought I couldn’t do it, because I knew I had a team with knowledge and heart to guide me all of the way. My family and I thank Dr. Cole and his team for gifting us with my renewed health. It is a blessing to be able to enjoy my life with my family and I am grateful to share my experience with others in the hopes that they too will enjoy the everyday beauty in their lives.

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2006. I had been eating a gluten-free, healthy diet and yet still struggled with gut issues, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, joint pain, and weight gain. Being a registered nurse, I knew I did not want to just mask these symptoms with medication, but wanted to get to their root cause! After much prayer and research, God led me to Dr. Cole and his team. I am SO thankful!! I haven’t felt this good in years and as a bonus, those stubborn pounds fell off as my body’s inflammation subsided! I am enjoying life to the fullest again…especially chasing my sweet, little grandsons!

Before working with Dr. Cole, I was incredibly frustrated; I was doing everything I could to live a health conscious lifestyle, but still felt exhausted, stuck, and unable to get clear answers or advice from any doctors. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Cole, I could tell that he was actually listening to my concerns. He’s been able to help me understand so much more about my body and the food I use to fuel it. This program has empowered me to take control of my health, also giving back the energy I had at some point lost. I am so grateful to Dr. Cole and his office for giving me the tools to take control of my health in a natural and sustainable way.

I am 4 months into my health journey with Dr. Cole and have to say I never felt that good before. Dr. Cole is a functional medicine practitioner who works with all his heart and profound knowledge. I was suffering for years of severe heartburn and could never get rid of extra-weight that stuck to me like glue no matter what I tried. Today I am 12 pounds leaner and fit easily in any jeans. I have plenty of energy and sleep better. I know it is his advice about precise nutrition and tailor-made supplements that reset my metabolism. I am so grateful to him and his dedicated team for their ongoing support. They all rock!
