I have been to a large number of Chiropractors but John is the best. When I first went to him I…read morewas involved in a car/deer accident. After 2 adjustments he strongly suggested that I see an Orthopedic Surgeon. Great call on his part I had a fractured hip and required a hip replacement. Many Chiropractors would have just had me coming in 2 or 3 times a week. But he is professional enough to know when he can't help. I have been seeing him for over 13 years now and don't know what I would do without him. He is now helping get back to normal after a very long stay in the hospital. 7 weeks in bed made my back very weak. His adjustments have helped me move more comfortably. Don't know what I will do if he ever left the area. If you are thinking about going to a chiropractor for the first time, stop thinking and call Dr. John Van Wagner. He will do right by you every time.

Lonny Jarrett's reputation precedes him within the professional acupunturist world. He has written…read more3 tomes on Traditional Chinese Medicine that delve deeply into the spiritual realms as well as the practical knowledge needed to practice acupuncture in the traditional manner. That is not a "cult" but a following of both patients and practitioners based on Lonny's dedication to his life's work. In other words, he knows his stuff. Asking detailed questions about bodily functions, diet, sleep, personal habits and more,builds a picture that is essential to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) because TCM is a holistic approach. We wish western medicine was as thorough. Someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Lonny is a gift to the world of healthcare as a preventative, an adjunct to healing, and guidance to maintain health. Ask him about his Tiger Wand

After filling out lots of detailed paperwork, I sat in Lonny Jarrett's office and answered his many…read morequestions. Some questions were invasive and uncomfortable ("what are your bowel movements like?") but I answered gamely and honestly. I told myself, "He's here to help. He wants a full picture." I'd been told he was a brilliant acupuncturist, and I wanted to have a good acupuncturist. So I continued to answer questions: my diet, my menstrual cycle, my sleeping habits. Then Mr. Jarrett peered at me and said: "Are you aware that you are yelling?" It was a question tinged with condescension. I was not yelling. I had not much raised my voice. It felt like a trap, like a move he's done a zillion times on more vulnerable patients, likely more on women. There was something mind-effy about it. Maybe even with a tiny smidge of sexist sadism. Ten years ago, I would have said, "I'm sorry! Did I raise my voice a little? I didn't mean to!" Even if I knew I hadn't raised my voice. I would have been ashamed, embarrassed, shamed, flushed with awkward remorse. But maybe the benefit of being a little older is to recognize a micro-aggression for what it is. I said evenly, "I'm not yelling. And if I sound a tad tense, it's because this is kind of scary and uncomfortable to me. I am in a vulnerable position here, as a new patient. This is your office, your practice, and you have more power than I do in this situation. So maybe I am responding to those dynamics." He tried for awhile to say he hadn't meant to be imperious/judgmental/condescending but didn't really change the tone. By the end of the appointment, my feeling was: I am not going back. I haven't returned.

Many people do not have a similar resource they can turn to for assistance in these situations. Maura has served as a mentor and role model for both my personal and professional endeavors. Her expertise is the result of a variety of experiences gained throughout her years of dedication to the nursing profession. In addition to the knowledge she has gained, and her curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, Maura has an uncommon ability to put those around her at ease. In challenging times, this comfort can be of more value than any health care information you receive. It is challenging to find someone with the talent to offer objective feedback compassionately. I am confident that RN Patient Advocates of the Berkshires can offer you and your family support in a unique and personal way, because I have personally benefitted from this support.

My Grandfather who is in his mid-80s recently had a minor heart attack. As much as a family tries…read moreto prepare for these sort of difficult health episodes, you never seem to feel prepared when it actually happens. Our situation was particularly challenging because my grandparents live in Florida (most of my family lives in NY) where they care for my aunt with cerebral palsy. My grandfather is also in the beginning stages of dementia. We weren't really sure what questions we should be asking the doctor, what my grandfather's options were medically and the type of outpatient care that might be covered by insurance. A family friend who had also gone through this type of experience with an elderly family member suggested speaking with Maura Rose from RoseCare Patient Advocacy. I must say it was one of the smartest decisions we made. Maura was not only caring and comforting, but extremely knowledgeable. Our situation was complex with many people involved and Maura was able to help navigate us through the confusion. After a few conversations with her, we felt much more comfortable dealing with the doctors and figuring out a care plan for my grandparents. We have continued to follow Maura and find the articles she shares on elder care to be extremely helpful. As a prospective dietetic professional, I will be working closely with the geriatric population and will definitely be looking to her website for the latest topical information in this area. I would highly recommend Maura and RoseCare Patient Advocacy & Elder Services and am so thankful for the help she provided my family.
