I had really bad back pain. Did everything. Tried everything. Pain pills and muscle relaxers (but stopped because I felt like I would turn into an addict. Chiro massage PT no good either. Injections of steroids, PRP, and even autologous stem cell! Anything to avoid surgery! Dr woliner knows trigger point therapy and found my quadratic lumborum side musclento be the culprit. Stretching with the cold spray did wonders, especially when he fixed my short hip and thyroid. I now stretch not just every day, but whenever I can! It really helps!

I am so thankful I found Dr. Woliner. My weight kept on going up and up. I'm only 5'2", so every pound on the scale makes a difference. I Rufus's to buy more clothes! Dr. Woliner was able to explain why my metabolism was so so. Doing the HCG diet 7 times over and over again being a BiG cause. But I didn't know that then. I just got sucked in by those other diet clinics. At Dr. Woliner's office, we charted out a meal plan. He doesn't push exercise more than what feels fun to do. And he works with insulin resistance (I have PCOS), thyroid and adrenal issues. Weight is down 12 lbs. clothes feeling looser. But I realize I have to be I. It for the long term. I'm on board!

Dr. Woliner is a Top Thyroid Doc! I found him through Mary Shomon' website, and after reading up on Natural Desiccated Thyroid, I knew I needed to switch. Doctor Woliner explained why Synthroid wasn't working for me, and put me on Natur-throid. Not only does it work better, it is 1/4 gg the price of my old medication. I'm really happy with his bedside manner too!

I have had the worst case of Crohn's disease for the last 8 years. Yes, I've been on remicade, but still have loose stools tinged with blood. And then when I get exacerbations - the pain is so bad that even Percocets don't help. Dr. Woliner is a Functional Medicine doctor, and that is what I was searching for. He really got to the bottom of my illness. Bad Klebsiella bacteria in my gut. Low vitamin d levels. Thyroid out of wack. Stuff like that. Now I feel confident that I can go outside without having accidents, or be doubled I've in pain in the bathroom at work. My future feels brieghter now. Thanks Dr. W!

Dr. Woliner is the best! I actually had been seeing him about 4 years ago, but when I retired, I tried to stay in network to save money. Well the mainstream internist doesn't understand hormones well and certainly doesn't understand thyroid! After cutting down my dose over and over again, I gained back 30 pounds of weight I previously lost. So I came back, and Dr. Woliner was welcoming as usual. Right away he switched me back to a higher dose of Armour Thyroid. I know I'm back on the right track!

I have been plagued with hiccups for years. For no reason at all I would go into an attack where I couldn't stop hiccuping. Dr. Woliner taught me how to stop these hiccups when I get them, but also how to prevent them by avoiding food allergies. Finally! I can sleep again!

DR. Woliner was my Christmas present to myself. I saved so I could go to see him because he does not take my insurance. But he is so worth it. My HMO doctors never spent time with me the way he does. And my IBS diarrhea is finally under control. I'm so looking forward to 2017!

My Ob/Gyn referred me to Dr. Woliner to balance my hormones with bioidentical HRT (my ob delivers babies mostly). Dr. Woliner is real conservative. He first explains each of the symptoms I had, and how they
Might relate to hormone imbalances. He then tested them all, so we could know what was low. He then started with small doses of hormones from the same compounding pharmacy I get my cat's medication from. We gradually increased doses to balance my symptoms. Lastly, when I felt myself again, Dr. Woliner combined all my hormones in one and said to follow up when needed only, as my gynecologist was willing to refill these safe meds

I see Dr. Woliner for my thyroid. My other doctors would only prescribe Synthroid, no matter how many times I asked them I even tried showing them books I bought / "Thyroid Power" by Richard Shames, MD, for example. They didn't care and just shooshed me out the door. Dr. Woliner really listens though. He did switch me to Nature thyroid and I feel so much better!
