Left me with Confidence as soon as I met Dr Lynch.

I am a USMC Marine Veteran with PTSD, TBI and GAD. I was referred to Dr. Lynch by a program that recommends him to many PTSD/TBI veterans.
I like to research almost everything I do thoroughly, and found many great reviews and his work in research papers.
His staff sent me video links with Dr. Lynch explaining the SGB procedure fully. I understood the procedure and understood this doctor really cares.
When I had my 2 SGBs on each side, his calmness made me so confident and calm myself.

Dr. Lynch is a huge part of the medicine!

As someone who has struggled an entire lifetime with complex trauma, I truly understand the way a provider treats you can greatly affect the outcome. I would not trust anyone else to do this procedure. DR. LYNCH IS PART OF THE MEDICINE… he is part life coach, inspirational guide, a powerful hope-giver, and a PTSI guru- a wealth of knowledge & experience. His words, calming presence, compassion & belief in my healing were a key piece of this procedure for me. He is an incredible doctor & human being. He’s really funny too, just a really likable dude. Long ago labeled “treatment-resistant” and having tried nearly everything, these treatments helped me in ways that nothing else has & have gotten me to a physiologically much better baseline. I have spent decades seeking help of all kinds for CPTSD- there are very few clinicians who I'd honestly say helped me improve my condition & left an indelible impression on me with their understanding and kindness. Dr. Lynch is one of them!

Dr. Lynch and the SGB was nothing short of miraculous

Our experience with Dr. Lynch and the SGB procedures (duel reset-both sides) was nothing short of miraculous and has been life-changing for our family. I was dealing with long COVID myself for 16 months, our daughter has POTS and anxiety, and our other daughter has PTSD due to medical trauma. My brain fog lifted almost instantly after receiving the SGB and my symptoms have only continued to improve for the following months. Many of the long COVID symptoms disappeared by 80-90% overnight. This procedure significantly helped my daughter's PTSD as well and our daughter with anxiety and POTS who has now been able to do so much more physical activity than before. Dr. Lynch's compassion and excellent beside manner made us feel truly cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend the Stellate Institute-even if you have to travel like we did-it's worth it 100%!

A true expert and professional

Not everyday can someone say they were treated by the number # 1 expert in the field. Doc Lynch has dedicated the last decade to perfecting this treatment. He walks you through the science behind the treatment as well as post-op best practices to ensure optimal results. Best of all, the entire procedure took less than 15 mins and wasn’t even mildly uncomfortable.

My results have been life changing. I now have the mental space to process emotions, reducing my overall stress and anxiety by over 2/3s. It’s so wonderful not being constantly on edge, and once again having the ability to be present and enjoy the small things!

I felt listened to and taken seriously.

Dr. Lynch is an incredibly warm and empathic person. He spent a lot of time explaining the procedure and how it could help me with generalized anxiety and chronic PTSD. It was painless and definitely worth trying if you suffer from one of these conditions.

Good experience with SGB

Dr. Lynch made the process very clear and offered ample encouragement and reassurance, which was helpful given my unfamiliarity with the treatment. I appreciated the freedom to ask questions and the consideration I was shown as a patient.

I went to see Dr Lynch to find root cause of chronuc hip pain after surgeru

7 years ago, I fell and broke hip, requiring surgery and pt. Improvement was temporary despite approved treatment. I demanded an MRI which showed a tear in my tendons. Dr Lynch recommended prolotherapy. I finished the series of shots and see real progress daily. I feel like there is improvement and stability after 7 years of frustration. Thank you

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience, which entailed a two-day / back-to-back procedure.

Dr. Lynch had the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever interacted with - as a patient or as a supporting role for a family member. He took significant time to ensure that I understood the procedure, was well-informed, and comforted with any concerns. He answered all my questions and was accommodating to my partner, who accompanied me both days. He was highly knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I expect out of any doctor. He also seemed to care and was passionate about his work. I wish more medical professionals displayed that sense of purpose behind what they did.
