Our patients report the following success:

I've had a series of health problems over the recent years and had gotten to the point I simply felt worn out much of the time. I haven't been able to sleep through the night for years. After eating, I would feel weak and rather ill. As a gift from friends, I went to Dr. Doreo. Within days I'm feeling really good, even after I eat. And I'm sleeping through the night. Thank you.

I've always been interested in Alternative Medicine and gone to doctors that don't give me drugs. This has meant taking vitamins instead. Well, I've gotten to the point where I refuse to take any more vitamins! True, I've handled BIG problems without taking any drugs and for this I'm grateful. However, with the quantity of vitamins I've had to take over the past 10 years, I've had enough! Dr. Doreo understood this and told me she works with many people who don't want to take more than a couple pills a day, or won't take pills at all. She asked me if I was willing to take liquid multivitamins instead of swallowing pills? I hadn't thought of that. I agreed - provided the liquid didn't taste terrible. And it didn't! Thank you, Dr. Doreo, for understanding my problem and finding a solution for me that keeps me going along the right track.

I visit Dr. Doreo about once a month to maintain my optimum health and am usually pain free. As a busy working mother of three I often found myself drained of energy about 3 p.m. Still facing a busy day, one day I reached for a Diet Coke that had been in my refrigerator for quite sometime. It was quite tasty over ice and gave me a nice “pick-me up”. The next day when I did my grocery shopping I quickly added a 2-liter bottle to my cart. That afternoon I had yet another Diet Coke. Well, the typical story goes one led to two, two led to three, etc. and I was no exception. Pretty soon I was consuming one with lunch and two or three throughout the afternoon and sometimes even one more after dinner!

Well, something else was happening as well. I started noticing a “tightness” on the right side of my neck, as well as in my right shoulder. The pain got considerably worse to the point where I was now taking Ibuprofen every afternoon (along with my trusty Diet Coke). Finally my appointment day with Dr. Doreo neared. I couldn’t wait for her to adjust my back to ease my pain.

When my appointment day arrived I could hardly wait for 3 p.m. to roll around. As Dr. Doreo examined me, she informed me that I had a weak neck muscle that was the source of my pain. I thought, “Oh good a simple adjustment and I’ll be on my way!” She also informed me that the said muscle loves calcium and had I changed my diet at all? In no time at all I identified the culprit, “Diet Coke” I shouted out. “Absolutely”, Dr. Doreo confirmed. She then went on to inform me that Diet Coke robs your body of calcium. She suggested Green Tea as a much better alternative. I went home and tossed out all that Diet Coke and instead made some sun tea out of Green Tea. It tasted so refreshing and delicious that I hardly missed my Diet Coke. I was still a little sore for a few days, but once the Diet Coke got out of my system I’ve been totally pain free! Now whenever someone offers me a Diet Coke, I remember all the pain filled days and opt for a glass of water instead!

Thank you for the beneficial services you have provided to me. I just arose from a full night's sleep erect without back pain and walked without favoring any sore muscles. I had no headache and actually feel good about starting my day. I have hoped to reach this state for several years, but did not seriously expect to achieve it.

In December of 1989, after years of what I believed to be migraine headaches, I sought the help of a neurologist. He requested that I cease using caffeine, begin aerobic activity and prescribed two antidepressants. For over three years I followed his and a subsequent neurologist's advice. The headaches diminished in frequency, but still I arose almost every day with pain in my head, neck and back, pains in my leg.

On January 22nd, I met you, Dr. Doreo, and after a thorough examination and testing, coupled with an insightful interview, you recommended a sixteen-week program of massage and adjustment.

For 8 weeks I faithfully and gratefully came to the office three times a week, grateful for the relief I achieved from the muscular pain, but amazingly the headache diminished almost from the first week. At my first return appointment with the neurologist I communicated my improved condition to him. To my surprise he was very supportive of my Chiropractic treatment. He now is anticipating a total release from chemical treatment.

Don't for a moment think that I will abandon your care just because I feel better, Dr. Doreo. I respect your sense of concern for my well being evidenced by your inquiries during every visit to the office. I will continue to be in your care as long as I remain in this area and will recommend you to my friends and associates. One of my co-workers has been a patient of yours for a month or so, at my suggestion, and is as delighted with the results as I.

You have never promised miracles, but you delivered them anyway. There is no way for me to pay what your service has been worth to me. And at many times the cost, it would have been a bargain. I can only hope that by sharing my experiences with others I will save them from the dangers of chemical treatments, the lack of resolution of their pain and the chance that they will miss the opportunity to have a diagnosis from someone who can help many. Your care and caring is very much appreciated.

My orthotic inserts have been a miracle. I don't know why I took so long to get them. My lower back problems have almost disappeared overnight.

RS

Amazing. The woman, Dr. Doreo, has magic! She is also highly skilled in her training; emanates love and genuine concern for her patients. If your intent is to really feel better, Dr. Doreo will ease the way.

To say, "boy, my feet hurt" and multiply that 10 times just begins to describe the pain I have suffered for the past 2 1/2 years; the most debilitating end result of my car accident. You take for granted being able to walk without pain. I had literally given up and accepted that I would simply be in pain forever when I came to Dr. Doreo to see what she could do to help me. To say that she has given me back a goodly portion of my life without pain is to put it mildly. She diagnosed the problem, which 2 years of orthopedic doctors could not seem to do, and helped adjust the bones and "jump start" muscles that were not working. With the steps she taught me to do at home and her occasional help when I needed it, I can truly say I am able to do and enjoy things I have not done for years. A simple walk, shopping, going anywhere that involves walking. My future’s truly a success story, and one I could not visualize without her knowledge, abilities and encouragement. Thank you for making me realize I can live without pain, and not to give up hope.

You have my permission to publish this success story, although I don't think you'll want to! Ha! I smoke cigarettes and (although society now puts a lot of pressure on me to stop) I have no desire to quit. All the doctors I've ever seen have told me I need to quit smoking. My seedy success story is that Dr. Doreo did not tell me I needed to quit smoking, although she didn't encourage me to continue either. Instead, she told me that I need to be responsible about the fact I choose to smoke and to take the necessary vitamins to repair the damage smoking does to my body daily. She told me which vitamins to take and tested me to find the correct dose. I really appreciate this and it makes perfect sense to me. Odd that no doctor has ever said this to me…. My regular medical tests have shown no lung distress since. Dr. Doreo has a very gentle way about her – she helped me without making me wrong about wanting to smoke. That's my success story!

I also sent Dr. Doreo a friend of mine that tends to drink too much alcohol. Dr. Doreo gave my friend some vitamins to repair her body after drinking. She's thrilled with how fast she now recovers – no more hangovers – she feels great in the mornings!

After my son fell 4 1/2 feet off a wall and landed on his neck and back, he started to complain about head, neck, chest pain. We brought him to Dr. Doreo and after 2 visits, no complaints and pain. Great job and what a healer!

MS

As a 44 year old who is taking up snowboarding, I really appreciate Dr. Doreo's expert knowledge. It really comes through when "life's aches and pains" "everyone knows" there is "nothing that can be done about" short of drugs, get fully handled naturally with your care. The many "systems" of our bodies you address amazes me. Anyway, I cannot say enough. Maybe that is why I travel up from LA where there are literally 100's of doctors - to see you.

PS

I had major head pain and ear pain for so long. Dr. Doreo gave me so much relief after my cranial adjustment I can function better at home and have more patience for my kids. I had been to several other doctors, taken medication, and had no relief over the last few years. This really seems to work for me so I cancelled my next appointment with the neurologist.

DS

Because I have Lupus (SLE), I consider my arthritis is more stubborn than most. Dr. Doreo did convince me to try a nutritional product, UltraInflamx (which doesn't even taste badly to my surprise!). I found it worked very well and I had notable improvement in my joint pain within 2 days. Without taking this product, I found my joints re-inflamed after one day and on the second day were back to as painful as before. This product really works! Thanks!

Sheree

You're keeping me in such good shape exercising Tuesdays and Thursdays I do not as yet need any of your professional service but I do hope this donation will be helpful to your charity benefit.

FR

Dr. Doreo has such a gentle touch and has made my neck and back feel so much better. I feel like its such a miracle that she knows all the right places to fix just by a few little tests. Thank you for making me feel so much better.

DS

It is a good feeling to know I can help myself relieve my own foot pain with several different techniques. The reflexology is exciting and I'm looking forward to getting into that a little bit also.

EM

I've learned how to properly use my hands while doing massage on people. Thanks for the training!

J

My foot feels so much better after the massaging. And training will help my ongoing behavior problems to try to correct and avoid the progressive worsening of this condition.

BJ

My son has been suffering migraine headaches for years. Since two years ago (he was about 10 years old) his headaches were getting progressively longer and more painful. Our pediatrician had prescribed a pain medication, which no longer was helping him. Dr. Doreo did a free evaluation and suggested we try some treatments. We started with her regularly (about once a month) and the last nine months he has had only two or three migraines and one was held to 24 hours because she treated him right away. Try chiropractic - you'll like it!

SL

You are truly a terrific person and doctor. You have made a positive impact on my life. Any patient or any friend of yours is lucky.

BP

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting the smile back on my face and making me 18 years old again.

YJ

Just want you to know how much we appreciate your great gift of healing and caring.

PN

I had a female problem which my MD could not diagnosis. This problem emerged every month before my period and was quite painful. I have had it for several years and happened to mention it while I was in for an adjustment with Dr. Doreo. She explained exactly what was causing this and gave me a vitamin supplement that only cost me $12. I have gone nearly a year now without this problem and I am so grateful. She's changed my life for $12! Needless to say, I've stopped seeing any other physician and go to her first. Dr. Doreo is fantastic.

S

We do feel blessed to have found you and do so appreciate and value your knowledge and expertise.

PA

I was out walking and slipped. I ended up with a bruise on my hip that was the biggest bruise I ever had - about 7" in diameter. I have a blood disorder so my bruises usually last for months. Dr. Doreo recommended that I use arnica gel to help the bruising and muscle soreness. I rubbed the gel into the bruise twice a day. Within 2 weeks the bruise was completely gone and that's never happened!

RR

Thank you for all your help and kindness you have shown to me over these years. I want you to know I really appreciate it.

PW

You've been awfully generous with us! I wanted to send you a special thank you because it is rare to have someone care so much about your well being. I am especially grateful as I feel I have been spinning in painful circles and ready to drop. You've given me new HOPE.

LC

As I exceeded age 40, I find I have slowly put on weight and developed a cottage cheese look to my legs. Dr. Doreo put me on herbs that boost the metabolism, cut the appetite, and give you added energy. I have a hearty appetite and did not expect the results I had with these herbs. They cut my appetite! The best thing was that I refuse to exercise and I changed nothing from what I was doing before, other than I felt great and lost consistently about 1/2 - 1 pound per day. I'm down more than 20 pounds now! And the cottage cheese is nearly disappeared. Thank you, Dr. Doreo! You are magic!

THEN: It was May of 1999. My father was in the hospital, dying, and I wanted and needed to spend every moment I could with him. Because my mother also required care (and, of course, emotional support), I relinquished my job and daily routine. This routine included visits to the chiropractor 2-3 times weekly for chronic headaches and neck and shoulder pain. After 18 years, 8 local chiropractors, and innumerous out-of-town ones, I still hadn't found the key to my well being.

Sitting 6-12 hours a day at an ill loved one's bedside create not only emotional stress but physical stress as well. Sitting in my father's room, I began to realize that, I began to realize that, despite everything, I felt better not going to my chiropractor. Because there had never been any significant improvement of my condition, and it always took at least 24-36 hours icing my aching body to recover from each adjustment, it made sense to avoid that painful, jerking/cracking/tension-producing "habit."

NOW: It is now January 2003, both parents are deceased. I have resumed work; my caretaker duties are completed for the moment. At work I take a misstep from the third step on a ladder, a long step backwards to prevent additional damage, and find my right leg and lower back shouting "FIX US!"

Upon the recommendation of a colleague, I phone Chiropractic Works! A cheerful, self-confident Sheree answers. She assures me that I will be in safe hands. Upon arrival on a very busy afternoon, I am impressed by the calming office office atmosphere and buoyed by the enthusiastic staff. Led to a room, I am massaged by the gentle, knowledgeable hands of Megan. I am ready.

Dr. Doreo enters the room. My heart speeds up and my muscles tense. She explains her technique and, after the usual "warm-up", I become almost rigid, awaiting the pain that will surely follow. Dr. Doreo begins. I feel nothing… I hear subtle cracking but surely the actual adjustment has yet to begin. Dr. announces she is finished. But wait! There is no pain. How could she be finished? How can an adjustment not hurt? I am informed it should never hurt. Hmm… this is definitely an approach worth my careful consideration.

Although I am steeped in traditional medicine, I am ready for a "life adjustment". Dr. Doreo may well provide the support and answers I have needed. I am certainly less skeptical. I am ready to become healthy in a new way - not through drugs, and certainly not through "grin and bear it" until I can't stand anymore. With Dr. Doreo's permission, I am going to keep a log of my journey. For those of you trapped in traditional thinking, or those of you afraid to try chiropractic, stick with me. Perhaps my story will encourage you.

"Dr. Nancy" has assured me that it's never "too late". I have begun to feel that good health is a possibility. In addition to the chronic neck/shoulder/head pain, I also have an autoimmune disease that has caused several hospitalizations. For the first time in so long I can't remember, I feel a surge of hope rising within. I am ready for the next step. I'll keep you posted.

January 2003

There once was a chiropractor

Who worked in Newbury Park

Everyone thought well of her

Even those who could meow and could bark

One day an old patient came back

She said please help me with my cat

You see her liver and kidneys are failing

My car is low, she is ailing

Dr. Doreo jumped right in

The cat was quickly examined

The doctor explained what would happen next

The cat was adjusted from her tail up to her neck

That should make her feel better

We'll even give her some silver water

Four weeks passed

And her blood work was tested

The cat that had ailed had gained a whole extra pound

In the blood work healing had been found

The old patient was so happy

Her cat was on the way to being healthy

There was only one thing left to do

It was the patient's turn to be healthy too.

Thank you for your care!! We love you, P and Emjay

I recently came in to see Dr. Doreo to get an adjustment and told her I'd been very tired lately despite getting plenty of rest and taking various vitamins and minerals. I'd been struggling with controlling my alcohol intake and had gotten to the point of despair. It didn't matter whether I had been drinking or not, I always had a "hung over" feeling. I was easily irritated and angry which only seemed to be lessened by drinking. It was a real catch 22.

Dr. Doreo recommended a product called Liver Balance Plus to cleanse and support my liver. After taking just 3 pills I felt a sense of calm and for the first time in months didn't feel "hung over." I've continued taking the recommended dosage and no longer feel like I'm screaming inside. Best of all I don't feel tired and I've been relieved of the compulsion to drink.

Life is good again thanks to Dr. Doreo and Liver Balance Plus.

Thanks,

TS

Dear Dr. Doreo:

Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Three months ago, I came to you for a new problem. My cholesterol was getting high at 220. Diet and exercise were not cutting it and I did not want to go to Lipator Land. Seeking a better way, you put me on Cholarest SC vitamins. It fully worked. My cholesterol went down almost 40 points to 183. So amazing! You are wonderful!
