“BIGGEST FAVOR YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF IS SEE DR BLIEVERNICHT”
Dr. Blievernicht and staff are the REAL thing. I've suffered with chronic back pain for 15 years. I've seen every type of specialist, a couple of whom were quite good. NONE compare to Dr. Blievernicht. Too often, he the doctor we turn to when all else fails. Do yourself a favor: see Dr. B - now. Don't ask your current doctors about prolotherapy - chances are they don't understand the nature or effectiveness of such treatments, much less by as knowledgeable and skilled a physician as Dr B. He and Suzanne have sincere compassion for their patients and commitment to their overall well-being. Their treatment addresses the body as a whole - which is likely why many of us find ourselves there, having failed to heal in an environment where the body is sub-divided. Don't get me wrong – I will see a neurosurgeon for a brain tumor; however, if what you need doesn't fit into a neat medical box, make your appointment. In fear of writing a review that sounds contrived, there are a few things to consider: 1) If you believe medical treatment best comes from big buildings and impersonal staff, it may be an adjustment going to their office, which is adjacent to their home. I find this comforting. 2) If you cannot understand why a physician would eschew being beholden to your insurance company when treating you, I’d say this was money well-spent for medical treatment because I’m not paying for him to spend time trying to get reimbursed for services. Their time is 100% spent trying to heal me and I spend my own time getting reimbursed. 3) If you think a great doctor is someone you need to sit in a waiting room for an hour to see, I’d tell you they value your time as much as their own; 4) If you fear this approach is too “new-agey,†I’d assure you it’s based on established medical science. Bottom line: these people are healers - the highest rating I can give one in a medical profession.
