Testimonials// CHECK OUT WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US

My name is Kate Reppucci. I am a massage therapy student, and subarachnoid hemorrhage survivor who tried to contact you via telephone recently to interview you for a paper I wrote on MTBI and Massage Therapy for my pathology class. I was able to find a massage therapist in Framingham who works with clients at the Spaulding Rehab. I also would like to tell you that your book, "Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury," recommended to me by my speech language pathologist, has been an extremely important tool in my recovery. Thank you for all the work you do.

Words can't describe how grateful I am that I met you. I remember the day I met you. You had been seeing my mother for almost a year for her myoclonic jerking and pain and I went in to meet you and learn all the wonderful things you had done to help my mother. You made a world of difference in her life, and by helping her you helped me before I even met you. You gave me my mom back who for years was in pain, and had gotten to the point where she could no longer drive. However, after she met you I saw a change in her. Her pain level went down, and her jerking stopped. I can finally say I have seen my mother smile again. Not to mention, you were the first therapist to ever help mend my relationship with her. There were years of pain between us, and some how you were finally able to open the waves of communication again between her and I. Not only had you done a wonderful job helping my mother, but then you helped me. In May I went to see you, for my panic attack disorder that had gotten so bad I had to take an emergency medical leave from school. I was having panic attacks two to three times a week often passing out each time because I would hyperventilate so badly. I felt like I had lost hope in getting better. My panic attacks which I had been having since the ninth grade (I am now a senior in college) was an uphill battle for me, and it felt like every year it was getting worse. I currently have only been seeing you since May and it is now August but I have already noticed a world of difference. I have not had a panic attack in two months. I signed up for fall classes and now I can go back to school without having to worry if I am going to have another attack. Between the therapy, the biofeedback, and the Bach flowers I finally have my life back. I honestly believe you are truly a gift from God, and one of the most wonderful people that have ever walked this earth. You have finally given me hope again and brought a new meaning to the tattoo on my back which reads "always have hope". I have seen many doctors in my lifetime, and I can honestly say I have never met one as wonderful as you. I can see in your eyes how much you care about every client who walks through your door. You are the first doctor that I have ever seen make a call to another doctor right then and there. There is virtually no waiting, and you always keep your promises. I know no one in this world is perfect, but you are damn near close. You are a true inspiration in my life, and inspire me when it comes to my social work career. You are everything I hope to be in a healthcare provider. Also, as a side note, you have some of the most awesome people working for you. Every time I call your answering service they are always so nice and polite and always call back. As for Paul your assistant in biofeedback he is a true gem. He is one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. He's intelligent and witty, and has the best sense of humor. He's an incredible person and I feel blessed to have met him. All in all, thank you and as my mother said God bless you.

My son has a traumatic brain injury. We are doing the neurofeedback training with Dr. Diane at home and it is very easy with Dr. Diane's Neuroband. It makes the process effortless and comfortable, without the messy paste and cleanup after. And the clarity of frequency is comparable. I would highly recommend any home user doing remote training to try it. It's a great product!

Thanks for all the info on your diet . As a person with MS who has been wheelchair bound for the past 10 years, I've experienced constant weakness and fatigue. I have been on the carb free diet for 1 week and cannot believe how different I feel. I don't know if it is coincidence, but I seem to need far less sleep and my weakness and fatigue seem enormously better. I am definitely going to stick to it for a while. Is it safe to omit carbs permanently?? I burn off so few calories that I am sure it wouldn't hurt. I will keep in touch every now and then with a progress update.

Your web site saved my life. Dear Dr. Diane, We ordered your book over the weekend and it arrived yesterday. So fast!! I sat in bed this morning and cried as I read the very symptoms I had been experiencing since my fall last March 23. I'm not crazy and not alone. Doctors in the Atlanta area have been of no help so now armed with new knowledge I will set about finding someone to listen. I can't wait to share your book with my husband who had a stroke of the cerebellum (at age 44) in June 1998 and has many of these maladies too. Both of our brains are drained tonight so Sat. we will talk. Friends and family affectionately call us the dizzies.

My name is Christine; we met last October in Columbus, Ohio. We had dinner together, the Thursday night before the Ohio Conference on Brain Injury. I was the one individual who told you that I had Epilepsy. We spoke about nutrition after your seminar. You had so much valuable information to share. I continue to be energized. I was most interested in the change in diet you proposed. You asked that I try the new diet and e-mail you in two weeks. Well, surely this isn't two weeks. I apologize for not writing you before. I feel my responsibility goes farther than just responding to you. This change is huge. I've changed my eating habits and the clarity is unreal. Let alone there has been a big change in the daily "balance" I seek. I always knew an abundance of sugar could bring problems, however I never realized (or understood) the correlation between Carbohydrates and sugar. To think that I started each day with cereal! My seizures are under control to a point. For about 10+ years I have had warnings, usually in the a.m. in the form of twitches or jerks. They may be the result of too much sugar, lack of sleep, my menstrual period or not eating enough food. Any one of those things combined with a situation that is exciting or stressful or missing a dose of medication might also lead to these "jerks". There is a definite connection between Aspartame and jerks so I have eliminated it from my diet. I take Ativan (as needed) to stop the jerks (and prevent a potential grand mal seizure). When these situations occurred, I used to be slow to take an Ativan. I felt I could "control" the jerks and I knew I'd be tired later in the day. I also saw it as a sign of defeat. Since changing my diet I've learned that it's easier to take a piece of Ativan than to try to control the jerks. The few seizures I've had have not afforded me the longer warning time I once had. Another change I've made is that if I miss a dose of medication it's best to adjust and work it in. Since changing my diet, the jerks have decreased substantially. I had 3 grand mal seizures in January. That was a lot. However, a few of the reasons above can be given for each one. I have not had one seizure this month. I think I took a piece of Ativan one time. I am most excited that I wake each morning with so much energy -- and I maintain that energy throughout the day! I feel I have the potential to do as much as the next person. I feel like a cloud (I didn't even realize was there) has been lifted from my brain. I do have to be a little more "heads up" with regard to the items I mentioned since changing my diet. In the past few years I have gained tremendous knowledge about how my Epilepsy affects me. I know (now from experience) that a balance can be achieved with a change in diet. I also know that I only listened to you because you had first hand experience with what you were talking about. Thank you for your great advice.

Our chance meeting approximately 1 year ago was a Godsend. Since starting neurofeedback in May my chronic pain has decreased significantly. I used to have trouble sleeping and doing routine chores. My pain level was pretty much 24/7 and from a level of 1-10, ten being the worst, I was at a 10 the majority of the time. After approximately 3-4 weeks (twice a week) of treatment, I started noticing a change. Today my pain level is much less frequent and certainly less severe. The neurofeedback has also helped with my myoclonic jerking. My jerking is much less frequent which both my friends and family have noticed. The jerking has kept me from driving for the past 3 years. I have recently started driving short distances with success and am very hopeful that I will soon be driving more & more and once again be the independent person I was. I have also been able to put away my cane! The other tools you have given me to help me sleep and for pain have also been a great help. I would never have known about them without meeting you. It feels good not to have to take medications to sleep or medication for pain which the side effects were causing me more problems. For approximately 7 years, I have been under the care of a neurologist. In that time my symptoms continued to progress and the medications weren't working for me. Since my neurofeedback sessions, not only has my pain and jerking lessened but my blood pressure has gone down. On my recent visit to my neurologist, he was pleased with my progress and I think amazed at how well I was feeling. I feel blessed to have met you and look forward to working with you and your team to continue to improve my quality of life. Your passion for helping others surpasses anyone I have known. I am blessed to have met you that special day. Thank You and God Bless You!

I would like to thank you for how much your services have helped me with my focus, concentration and my overall better health, physically and emotionally since my stroke. It really has helped and I would recommend you to anyone else who had been through what I have.

My son, Tim was 17 years old when he was in a car accident and diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. A year after Tim's accident I called her and was brought into this whole new understanding of neurofeedback. It was wonderful. And it worked! When Tim began the neurofeedback he couldn't even remember what he had for lunch. Then, all of sudden, he remembered! And he has continued to progress. Last fall Tim was able to go to college and I owe that all to Dr. Diane and neurofeedback.

Dr. Stoler, Thank you for my college graduation gift, it really does remind me how far I have come and I could not have done it without your help and support. I will keep your beautiful gift on my desk for years to come and I know I will continue to succeed in life!. Take care and I really do appreciate everything you have done for me.
