After seeing 3 other doctors (over a 5 year period)for Hashimoto thyroid disease treatment, I finally found Dr. Holtorf (thank God!). I could write paragraphs on what I’d been through but the bottom line is that I finally found a doctor that is not only a good listener, compassionate & kind, but one who actually thinks “outside the box”. [...]

Tracey D.

I feel like I could write a book describing the excruciatingly painful and frustrating battle I’ve gone through for so many, many years since my health first began to decline. Suffice it to say, that fifteen months ago, just before I found Dr. Wightman and Holtorf Medical Group, I was in such bad shape [...]

Lauren C.

I just wanted to take the time to write and thank the Holtorf Medical Group and Dr. Wightman for everything they have done for me and shown me. Before I came to the Holtorf Medical Group I could not for the life of me figure out what was wrong with me. I was constantly [...]

Carol M.

Steve B.

I would like to thank Dr Wayne Wightman and the Holtorf Medical Group for turning my health around. Dr Wightman correctly found the causes of weight and health issues that had existed for 15 years. For years, I spent a lot of time and money [...]

Mike E.

Amazing is probably the best description of my experience at Holtorf Medical Group. I almost forgot what it was like to feel this good each and every day. And to think my previous primary care physician just wanted me to take some Prozac. Dee Dee White N.P. and the entire staff at Holtorf are the most caring professionals [...]

Bonnie M.

This is the story I tell over and over to me friends: When I came first came to Dr. Holtorf, I was exhausted, depressed and suffered from severe anxiety. The exhaustion and anxiety were so bad it kept me from [...]

Laura S.

You are such a wonderful blessing. The ways in which shown your kindness, compassion and caring are beyond what I ever would have expected. You are patient and understanding. Moreover, you have been empathetic and have always believed me [...]

Margie W.

I went to several specialists before finding the Holtorf Medical Group and my symptoms were dismissed as simply “getting older”, “it’s due to stress” or “you must be depressed”. I was made to feel I was crazy and offered little more than an antidepressant and sent on my way. [...]

Karen M.

I just wanted to tell you what a difference the serotonin shot made for me last week.  Driving home I noticed my eyes seemed “open” and a fog lifted from my brain. But the biggest miracle is that all the pain in the left side of my neck was gone and as of today it is still gone. Dee Dee, as I told you I have been suffering with a much worse pain than normal in neck for the past several months. [...]

Cheri B

Thank you Dr. Laufer, I have now been able to return to work with all of the therapies and treatments, especially the growth hormone injections, after no one else was able to help. Also, thank you for being very patient and listening to all my problems. I am very grateful. [...]

Linda C.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Holtorf and Dr. Laufer for their true compassion and understanding that they and the staff have given me. I have only met one other physician in my life, so far, that has that same attitude toward their patients. I am now in my 4th month of treatment for CFS, hashimotos thyroid disease, fibromyalgia and totally unbalanced numerous other hormones and minerals. [...]

Demetra W.

As a 51 year old Registered Nurse, I was working in one of the major medical centers in Los Angeles. I was under the impression; I had access to the best physicians. In the span of one year, I saw a total of 11 physicians-3 internist, 1 gastrointestinal, 2 Rheumatologist, 2 neurologist, 2 psychiatrists, and 1 Endocrinologist/pituitary Specialist. These physicians put me through the battery of tests.  [...]

Marti E.

I have been plagued with a chronic skin condition for five long years, referred to as Morgellons Disease. This disease is vicious and aggressive, causing open sores and lesions. Each sore can last from six months to a year to subside and it has caused me facial disfigurement. My nose has been partially eaten away. [...]
