“'Taking extra weight out of your ruck'”
Prior to the first injection Dr. Lynch referred to trauma as extra weight or rocks in your ruck, a great military analogy for the daily stress we all carry every day. He soothed my fears, gave me confidence in the procedure, explained everything to me in advance and I still wasn't sure what to expect until it happened; the greatest singular emotional release of my life so far. I cannot express enough my gratitude for Dr. Lynch and his team.

“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.

“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!
