| After several years
of going from doctor to doctor, being poked, prodded,
tested and even operated on I was finally referred to
Dr. Prywes. From my very first visit, I knew this was
going to be different.
Dr. Prywes has a very positive relationship with his
patients. He has always treated me respectfully, taking
time to listen, and treating me as a person, a true
partner in my health care. From the beginning Dr. Prywes
has helped me to look at my pain differently and to
respond to my symptoms constructively.
Dr. Prywes has helped me to change my eating habits,
improve my exercise, have better control over my stress
and have true relief for the relentless pain I was living
with every day. Through traditional medical care as
well as acupuncture, nutrition support, physical therapy,
homeopathic remedies and hands on treatment, Dr. Prywes
has made it possible for me to return to the life I
love.
As a result of Dr. Prywes' care I have been able to
have an active life, filled with hiking, biking, skiing,
and dancing while raising my children and teaching.
I am confident that without the support and care of
Dr. Prywes my life would be quite different.
I am truly grateful to Dr. Prywes and his wonderful
staff for their kindness, compassion and care. Thank
you Dr. Prywes, I love the active life your care makes
possible.

I prefer not to use drugs or pain killers
to mask symptoms of any physical problems I have, so
that is why I contacted the Center for Pain Rehabilitation.
My first experience with Dr. Prywes was a few years
ago when I had what is known as a "frozen shoulder"
due to calcium deposits that had built up after an injury.
Among other non-invasive treatments, Dr. Prywes prescribed
physical therapy which I did long term and I avoided
having a painful surgery with a long recuperation period.
I had a pain in my rib cage about six
months ago, and I went to a chiropractor for several
weeks with no relief. I had several diagnostic tests
done to see if it was something more serious and then
I called Dr. Prywes. He treated it with a combination
of massage, acupuncture and topical ointments and the
pain subsided in a matter of days. Just recently, I
pulled a muscle on the opposite side of my rib cage
and Dr. Prywes alleviated the pain almost immediately
with massage, acupuncture and laser treatment.
I would be happy to discuss my experience
with the Center for Pain Rehabilitation and Dr. Prywes
with anyone who has questions.

I want to thank you, once again, for the wonderful
relief from the debilitating headaches I experienced
after my last stroke.
Your patience and enthusiasm in treating my problem
with a view to "helping the body heal itself,"
is inspiring. More doctors should be so proactive and
aware of the tremendous capabilities of a human being
who is properly diagnosed and cared for with insight.
I wish you well in your endeavors to increase the knowledge
of the medical community as a whole in treating the
causal factors of an illness and not just the symptoms.

During the last few years I have had the good fortune
of being treated by an exceptional physician. In January
2000, I was involved in an automobile accident in which
my car was struck head on and totaled. After consulting
several physicians I was referred to the Center for
Pain Rehabilitation and Dr. Mitchell Prywes. His attentiveness
and concern for both my physical and emotional pain
was outstanding. Dr. Prywes provided a variety of pain
relief treatments, which allowed me to continue functioning.
The use of medication was minimal; instead, acupuncture
and therapy provided relief.
Dr. Prywes was always available if the pain suddenly
became unbearable. There was always some time available
to squeeze me in for treatment. His caring nature and
genuine interest in my well being facilitated my continuing
recuperation from injuries. I would recommend Dr. Mitchell
Prywes to any person suffering from pain.

Just a quick note to let you know that I sincerely
appreciated you seeing me last week and helping me to
prepare for my long "stretch" through France.
I promise to be diligent regarding my exercises and
won't hot dog up any awful hills.
Thanks again, you've saved my vacation!

I wanted to drop you this note to thank you very much
for helping me with my back.
As I told you, at the visit, I tried several methods
of Doctors in hopes of discovering my problem, but to
no avail. After my visit with you I felt significantly
better. I now have a clear direction to pursue, complete
relief from the problem (which has been plaguing me
for more than a year.) I can now enjoy my honeymoon,
my studies and my life without a nagging monkey on my
back.
Your professionalism/thoughtfulness was much appreciated
- I could tell you weren't going to let me leave until
I was "fixed." See you for my follow-up. Thank
you very very much.

I want to thank you for your kindness and patience
with me over the past several months. I appreciate all
that you are doing to help me get back on the road to
feeling good again. I also want to tell you what a wonderful
staff you have! I have been to many different medical
offices over the years and have never met a staff like
you have here.
Thank you all once again for treating me so kind.

Thank you for the pain relief! I'm on a roll surfing
