Testimonials

"I was seriously considering retirement from my professional career of football before I met Dr. Lobe. I was suffering from injuries that I thought I was going to have not only for the rest of my career but possibly the rest of my life.  After just 2 sessions with Dr. Lobe my injuries were significantly better, in fact I made more progress with him in just two sessions than I have in entire offseasons with other doctors and therapists.  I was able to make it through another season of football and will definitely be visiting him MUCH more often this upcoming offseason."

"I have had migraines all my life. In my 50's they got progressively worse and more frequent. In one session of acupuncture with Dr. Lobe, combined with his recommendation for one dietary nutritional supplement, I have not had one migraine in almost two years."

“I was in a freak accident about 10 years ago and suffered a severe hyperextension injury to the left side of my neck. This led to severe episodic bouts of near- unbeable pain and misery unresponsive to all NSAIDS--until about 4 years ago! I am very squeamish about needles and very suspicious of anything I do not fully understand but in desperation, I submitted to have Dr. Thom Lobe treated me with acupuncture. The results have been near-miraculous. I am now mostly pain-free after 4 sessions of varying intensity. I suspect that my neck will never be normal again but I am fully functional and mostly comfortable. Last summer and fall for the first time in 10 years, I had a full season on my race bicycles which requires a stance that can be very hard on your neck with nary a problem. With spring approaching, Thom, I think I am going to need a top-up so I can get on my bikes again!”

“Apparently miracles do happen! Having been in severe, chronic pain since my accident eight years ago, I had all but given up any hope... certainly no doctor or treatment that I tried (and that's every single one i could find) was able to help. And then, by chance, out of pure desperation, I tried Beneveda. All i can say now is this: thank god for Drs. Lobe, Guernsey and the incredibly caring and skillful staff of BMG. I am no longer in constant, excruciating pain...and I never, ever, ever thought that was even remotely possible. Thank you Beneveda Medical Group... You have changed my life!”

"During my training as a physician I had very little exposure to alternative medicine. I was open-minded, but mostly skeptical as to how helpful it could be. When I first met Dr. Lobe, I had just experienced 21 migraines in one month and had tried multiple traditional therapies over a period of many years. I was ready to "try anything." In the month after I started treatment with Dr. Lobe I had 3 migraines which, in my opinion, was a cure.

I have known many physicians in my life as a student, as a physician, and as a patient. Dr Lobe is one of the kindest, most caring practitioners I have met. He spends as much time as is needed to figure out the problem. He is constantly re-evaluating the situation and looking for new ways to optimize health and well-being for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a way to improve quality of life."
