I just wanted to take a
moment and let you know how much you mean to me and the whole family.
For the first six years of our marriage Jason had watched me having
trouble with my back and had urged me to go to a chiropractor.
Growing up I had heard lots of stories about how people would go to
chiropractors and come out in worse shape than when they went in and how
some had been paralyzed. These myths along with my reluctance to
accept help caused me not to listen to him until after having Emily and
my condition got worse. I could not move my leg and I was in so
much pain that I figured it could not get any worse and Jason took me to
meet Dr. Bob.
I was only in his care
for a short time before he passed but I had a lot of respect for him and
the approach he took with me. He was patient, gentle and most of
all he cared that I understood everything that was going on with my body
and that I was armed with knowledge. When he got too sick to care
for us we began to see you and all I can say is that even with all that
you were going through you were always there ready to heal. You
are such a joy to be around and the only way I know how to describe you
is that you are a light; not only with your bright personality and sunny
disposition but also a light in the way of knowledge. You
continued to teach me as well as our whole family about a healthier
lifestyle and how to care for our bodies. Since the time of Bob's
passing I have had Ethan, Elyse and Elizabeth and my desire for my
children is not only to be healthy but to have an open mind when it
comes to alternative methods of healing and to also be armed with the
knowledge that you and Dr. Bob have passed on to me.
I sit back in amazement
when I think of how you have grown this practice. I know that Bob
is so proud of you. Your heart is in everything you do and it
shows. You have been so wonderful to our family and seen us
through many illnesses and I want to say thank you for that. We
all have appointed reasons for being here and when we find that calling
all of the pieces just fit together so seamlessly. You have found
that calling and through that you have and continue to touch the lives
of those around you. Thank you and we love you from the bottom of
our hearts!

Five years ago I had a
severe ear infection which caused a 70% hearing loss. I saw an ear,
nose, and throat specialists (ENT) doctor who told me the loss was
permanent and my only recourse was hearing aids. After 6 or 8 months
chiropractic treatment by Dr. Bob my hearing had returned to slight loss,
less than 30%.
Last year I fell two times
and twisted my knee in the same way each time. An orthopedic doctor,
after x-rays, found the cartilage had been damaged, but at 80 years old, I
was not a good candidate for surgery. His advice was to kill the
pain with NSAIDS (aspirin, tylenol, aleve). Under Dr. Bob's care my
pain has decreased to about 50% and I continue to improve.
