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.
