What Patients Say about Holistic Family Medicine

We feel that a patients word of mouth is considered the best testimonial we could get from our patients. However, many feel inclined to send us a letter in appreciation, which we also accept. Here are some of the many that we have received.

If you would like to send a letter of thanks, feel free to contact us.

Positive Progress

Good Morning!

Just wanted to inform Dr. Woliner on my medical progression. I am sooooo happy with the results that my body is finally giving me! All thanks to Dr. Woliner and his appropriate prescription for ME to get back on track. I find myself shopping for clothes again, and no longer wearing potato sacks and hidding in my appartment because of my disgust.

I feel super too! More energy, great sleep, and less anxious with daily life and situations.

Dr. Woliner has my deepest appreciation for his ability to properly “fix” my condition, when other Dr.’s could simply just guess.

I will forever be a patient of Dr. Woliner, and am 100% confident that he will continue to keep me on track for the rest of my productive life. Thank you to him, and to his caring and kind staff. MR

A Life Restored

For years I had seen many different physicians who had run dozens of tests and had loaded me up with dozens prescriptions that were not working. I had gained weight and was having problems functioning and doing everyday things.

After a friend showed me an incredible magazine article that a real person had written on how Dr. Woliner had changed her life, I called his office immediately, as did many others like me, and there were no openings for new patients until six weeks. For almost two years, I hadn’t been able to sleep, depression loomed over me so much so that I didn’t want to leave my home and couldn’t work, I had no energy and anxiety prevented me from enjoying life. I was so bad that my friend called his office to see if they could fit me in sooner and I am so thankful that he made time for me. I was too sick to drive myself to the appointment so my friend went with me and the staff and atmosphere at Holistic Family made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived.

Dr. Woliner spent over an hour and a half with me, really listening to what was happening in my life and my background, something that had been missed before. I was a successful CEO of my own multimillion dollar company in my late 30’s, who couldn’t get out of bed and he explained to me that many of the medications that were prescribed to me had side-effects that were causing the anxiety and fatigue. After blood work and tests, Dr. Woliner found I had a low thyroid problem and gave me information and studies so I could understand why I was so tired, why my hair and nails were not growing, and that depression was part of not having a thyroid work, as it should.

Dr. Woliner not only changed my life, he saved my life. He helped me start dating again, I became active, I am traveling again, and I dropped 10 pounds in the first month of seeing him without trying.

Now, in my late 40’s, as pre-menopause sets in, I am thrilled that Dr. Woliner is on top of the newest and greatest supplements and treatments from around the world. I don’t know what I would do without him and I plan on ‘growing young’ with him for the rest of my life.

Thank you,

How Dr. Kenneth Woliner helped me reach optimal health

Hi, my name is Eli Herskovitz and I want to share with you my experience of how Dr. Kenneth Woliner helped me to reach my goals of losing weight and achieving optimal health. Someone suggested I go see Dr. Woliner and after the first consultation I knew I was in good hands. Through, accurate diagnosis, professional advice, education and the right supplements I was able to embark on a change of lifestyle. Through diet, exercise and supplements I was able to lose 46 pounds in less than a year. My cholesterol and sugar levels are now perfect. I feel energized and ready to take on the world in a whole new way. Because of the information and direction of Dr. Woliner and my commitment to my program I am now healthy and at a point of optimal health. Thanks Dr. Woliner for all your work and knowledge, it really helped me to get to where I am today.

Sincerely,
Eli Herskovitz

Dr. Woliner,

Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you. I had flown down from Montreal about 2 years ago and with your guidance was able to find a doctor through the compounding pharmacy in our area.

Which has helped all of my 5 children and many other family members and friends.

Andre and I with my sister and husband just got back from a cruise…We are all enjoying vacationing with so much better health.

Thank you for getting us all on the right path to health We are so tremendously grateful for your concern and guidance.

Sincerely,
M & A R

A letter of Thanks…

I have been a patient of Dr. Kenneth Woliner since 2003. Prior to seeing Dr. Woliner, I was suffering from extreme fatigue, migraine headaches, and frequent respiratory infections.
Currently, these symptoms have all but disappeared. This did not happen overnight, but through the years that I have been working with Dr. Woliner to get at the root of these problems. Some of the things that Dr. Woliner prescribed to correct the situation:

• Additional Armour thyroid to treat the Hashimoto’s thyroiditis that I was suffering from.
• A significant increase in magnesium supplementation to stop the migraine headaches. Everyone on my father’s side of the family suffers from migraines. I experienced approximately six debilitating migraine headaches every month. Now, I may have six headaches a year, none of which are as severe as when I first became Dr. Woliner’s patient.
• Supplements and dietary recommendations to lower my blood sugar, which I had never been told was too high in the first place.
• Medication to treat a sleep disorder, which had gone undiagnosed for well over seven years. Based on the results of a sleep study, Dr. Woliner determined that I was suffering from alpha wave intrusion. For years I complained of waking up exhausted, no matter how many hours of sleep I got. Since I am finally able to get adequate rest, I no longer suffer from extreme fatigue or frequent respiratory infections.

The one thing that I admire most about Dr. Woliner, is that he truly does have a holistic view of the human body. He is a remarkably thorough diagnostician possessing an incredible amount of knowledge on all body systems, and their interplay with one another. I think that this is what enables him to find the solution to problems that other physicians miss. I am absolutely convinced that had I not found Dr. Woliner, I would still be suffering from all of my original problems and their exacerbation’s.

A Response to Understanding Thyroid Lab Tests

Thank you so much for writing the article” Understanding thyroid lab tests”. I spent 3 years in misery getting my dosage of Synthroid upped and downed. About a year ago after doing much research on my own I finally convinced my reluctant endocrinologist to let me try Armour thyroid. According to the “tests” she put me on 60 mg. I felt better but still not good. I started tweaking my own dosage till I felt better and then I convinced her to adjust my dosage. I now alternate 60 mg one day and 45 the next. For the past 9 months I have felt like myself again. I finally got my life back. Your article helped me understand why and I will continue to fight for my own health and well- being even if the tests say I should feel fine. Thanks again.

Dear Dr. W,

I just wanted to say “Thank You” for being such a great doctor!
Not many would have taken the time to go the extra step & order a third view of my Chest X-ray. The nodule that was found may or may not have been there for a long time and / or may not have been seen, if it were not for you. Since there was nothing to compare it to, I will have to wait to see if there are any changes in the future. I am currently being followed by a Pulmonary Specialist that the family has used in the past. He told me that I was fortunate to have such a thorough Primary Doctor.

Again, Thank You,
P. M.

A letter of Thanks…

Both my wife and me have found the services Dr. Woliner of Holistic Family Medicine, a refreshing change in today’s hectic and hurried world. Dr. Woliner takes the time necessary to address problems or find problems both equally important. If thoroughness is a trait we all seek, then it will be found in the hands of Dr. Woliner.

There is little more important than working with a top Diagnostician because doing otherwise will lead to much suffering and disappointment. You will be in good hands.

A letter of Thanks…

Hello, my name is Hope Blechman and I’ve been Dr. Woliner’s patient for the last two years. During the middle of my initial visit, I started crying tears of joy, knowing that I had finally found a doctor who would be able to make sense of a very complicated medical puzzle. From that day forward, he has never failed to surprise me.

Throughout my 14 years of illness and about 50 doctors, Dr. Woliner has been the one who’s helped drastically improve my quality of life. Because of his vast knowledge of how the body as a whole works, he has been able to help support each body system, ensuring they are working in harmony. This approach has led to a major changes in functioning. Here are just a few of his discoveries and treatments that have improved so many symptoms:

• he diagnosed “thyroid hormone resistance syndrome”, using medication and supplements, 50 pounds came off my body with ease. At last, not another endocrinologist accusing me of eating for two and snacking in my sleep!
• he did “trigger point therapy” for myofascial pain, which I never knew I had. I was shocked at the powerful instantaneous relief I got. He then instructed me how to work with my body to alleviate some of the pain on my own.
• nutraceuticals, in the proper doses (unlike what many other doctors prescribe), have helped tremendously with everything including immune support, energy, muscle pain, blood sugar, skin and mood.
• he was my only doctor to find a serious antibiotic resistant infection, merely by taking the time to actually listen to my complaints. The other doctors I had seen, totally missed it for months.

In the opinion of someone who has traveled through the medical system for many years, there are many unique qualities that make Dr. Woliner stand out from other physicians. He is a passionate, caring human being first, and a passionate, caring, brilliant doctor second. He not only teaches patients about how their body works, but also teaches patients about themselves and how their behaviors affect their health. He tells it like it is, with your best interest in mind. If you can allow yourself to trust his instincts, I believe you will benefit the most. Dr. Woliner also works as a team player and an advocate for his patients. In a world where time is scarce, his will take the time to do what is necessary to get you to a better state of health. He is very smart and practices “smart” medicine. If you are frustrated and disappointed by the lack of answers to your health issues, a consultation with Dr. Woliner is sure to provide you with information that you probably haven’t heard before.

Thanks to Dr. Woliner, I am a healthier version of the person that I was two years ago, when I could barely even speak. I am eternally grateful to both him and his staff for their support in getting me to a much better level of health.

With appreciation,
Hope Blechman
