For those of you who have read much of what I've written, it may seem
that I hate all MDs and DOs. Not so at all. Here is a short list of people, including MDs and DOs, that I refer to as necessary:
Hallowell
Family Practice
Nathan Murray-James is my doctor. We don't agree, but we listen to each other. He is the only person
I know of who can talk a patient into doing things without invoking fear. He does do just drugs, labs and surgery, but he
does it in a very humane way.
Manchester Osteopathic
Charles Landry is a very smart diagnostician and thinker.
He does pain management with hands on treatment, but he is completely comfortable working with other issues.
Winthrop Family Practice
Jennifer McConnell is someone I know through my patients, who have wonderful
things to say about her. It is clear that she is very knowledgeable and partners with her patients in their healthcare.
Family Medical Institute
Dr. Woytowicz, Dr.
Craigie, and Dr. Moss have all impressed me with their intelligence and commitment to their patients. If you manage
to get some time with any of them, you are in good hands.
Kennebec Therapeutics
Beth
LaBaugh is more of a musculo-skeletal micromechanic than a massage therapist. If you have specific muscle pain, she is the
master at releasing every single tiny tendon in that area. If it still hurts after she'd through, chances are there's something
else going on.
Susan Eames
If you ever wondered if sound had anything to do with your health, or if you are
particularly sensitive to frequency, Susan has a range of sound and body tricks that will draw you down or pep you up. Her
newest thing is a bath that draws out all the toxins in your feet. It involves her putting an electrical device in the water
with you, which is a little like firewalking in terms of trust. Stuff did come out of my feet, but I still prefer her tuning
fork acupoint work.
Brenda Colfer
Leave the body aside for a moment. Take a trip to the spiritual and spend
a couple of hours with Brenda as the meditation bowls sing. Effects: left sacral joint freed up to the point of being painfully
flexible, two days of greatly altered bowel movements, an urge to clean my entire house, tasks accomplished that had been
sitting around for years. And that's after one session.
