I first saw Dr. Ben Benjamin at a time of desperation. A few months earlier, I had taken a leave of absence from medical school due to severe pain in my body and general poor health. My doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and repetitive stress injury to both wrists, but really couldn't suggest any treatments beyond the ineffective medication I was already taking.

As a student, I initially worried about the cost of being treated by Ben. After our initial meeting, however, I knew this money was well-spent. At my first visit, Ben took an extensive history (more extensive than I have ever received by anyone) and spent a long time doing physical assessments to pinpoint my injuries.

Over the past year, Ben has treated me, and guided me towards other treatments, that have helped me feel dramatically better. He is a creative, gifted healing professional, who knows more about the human body, especially the musculoskeletal system, than most doctors I have seen. He is also very personable and funny, and I have found him very easy to talk to even about difficult subjects. He is one of the most generous and caring people I have ever met, and I consider myself lucky to have worked with him.

As I head back to medical school, I am deeply grateful to Ben for helping me regain my health. I cannot recommend his work highly enough, and I am excited to bring what I have learned from BenŐs deep understanding of the human body to my future practice as a physician.
