“Dr. Lynch is excellent”
Dr. Lynch was a real pleasure to work with. He was incredibly patient and kind, clear, open to all questions I had, steady, and calm. I felt very safe in his care and very glad to have his support. I have found a lot of benefit in my overall anxiety from the stellate ganglion block and noticing it has helped my body relax as well. I would return to him any time and feel really glad to have found him.

“Compassionate and caring team!”
Dr. Lynch and his whole staff are amazing to work with. Compassionate, understanding, friendly, I could go on and on. My son has a number of medical issues and we took him to see Dr. Lynch for a SGB to help with his POTS symptoms from long covid. The SGB has helped my son tremendously and the care Dr. Lynch provides is top notch. I highly recommended his office.

“Highly Recommend”
Doc Lynch made this procedure both smooth and easy to understand. He is in no hurry when he sits with you and thoroughly explains the science behind the procedure as well as his personal insights that he has gained over his years of experience. In short, he turns a little-known procedure into a comfortable conversation with a friend and the results of the procedure are eye-opening. I recommend Doc Lynch to anyone who is curious about stellate ganglion block therapy and urge you to check him out.

“Expert Care & Life-Changing Relief – Highly Recommend Dr. Lynch!”
Dr. James Lynch and his team in Gambrills are exceptional. Going into a stellate ganglion block can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but Dr. Lynch completely put my mind at ease. He took the time to explain the entire procedure step-by-step, answered all my questions without rushing, and ensured I felt completely comfortable throughout the process.
The procedure itself was surprisingly smooth and quick, thanks to his precise technique and calm bedside manner. The relief I’ve experienced since the blo

“Incredible Results”
I visited Dr. Lynch’s clinic after I had been experiencing some significant and persistent TBI/ PTSD symptoms. I felt an immediate change after my first SGB treatment. Over the course of the past 6 weeks I’ve noticed a considerable reduction in treatment resistant symptoms. I couldn’t recommend this more.

“Stellate Ganglion Block/anxiety&post concussion”
Having post concussion symptoms for 7 years put my nervous system into fight or flight mode severely! I had exhausted many, many medical procedures and therapy for a very tight neck/headaches/severe anxiety. After being introduced to the SGB block I did further research and made the decision to take the trip to Maryland and ge the block from Dr. Lynch. He especially does a great job at what he is doing! Everything went smoothly and staff was over the top as well as Dr. Lynch! I did feel relief!

“Best decision for myself and my family”
After suffering years undiagnosed PTSD, coping with alcohol, binge eating, and unhealthy habits Dr. Lynch was able to help me take back my life. The entire staff is amazing and shows great compassion. His military background gives him the credibility to care for the military/first responder community. Best decision I have ever made for myself and my family.

“Gratitude”
I lived with PTSD for years. My whole life was built around avoiding triggers and keeping my nervous system calm. Therapy, medication, and a service dog helped. SGB with Dr. Lynch changed that. Relief was immediate and has held. My brain still warns me, but now I choose what I do with it. I’m grateful to have my freedom back.
