Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch is an incredibly caring provider and I could not be happier with his care. I just left his office now after getting my third and fourth blocks from him. I got my first and second just about four months ago and am back because of the great difference I and the people closest to me have seen them make. I was in a terrible place before coming to Dr. Lynch that I could not imagine getting out of so I am so thankful.

Provided by Doctor.comI had great results with SGB for complex PTSD. That terrible sensation of terror in my chest and stomach has decreased from 10/10 to about a 4. My experience with Dr Lynch is the best experience I have ever had with a physician. He is highly skilled, gentle, patient, and dedicated. It is a safe place to go for those obliterated by life who may be losing hope. Dr Lynch is the best of the best.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch took the time to sit down with me and review every step of the process before getting started. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I’m very thankful for Dr. Lynch and the entire ROSM staff. My right side SGB was a success and I just scheduled my left side.

Provided by Doctor.comDr Lynch was caring and knowledgeable. He explained the SGB procedure and answered all questions. During the procedure, he calmly explained what was happening and what to expect every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to do this procedure.

Provided by Doctor.comHow do you describe getting your life back with two shots in the neck? I have been suffering with anxiety and depression for 27 years. Fear and anger rule my life. Negative thoughts were a constant and always my first thought because bad things always seemed to happen to me. The same day I got my first shot, I didn't think like that. I still have negative thoughts that come up, but I "choose" to think positively because that's what I want out of life. Dr. Lynch is and will be a good friend to check-in with as I become an active for youth, my community and men who find it hard to handle or experience their emotions. I stepped out on faith by doing this and my only regret is I wish I did this sooner. For anyone that reads this and wonder if they should try this to help their PTSD, I will ask you this one question: "If you're not getting the result you want, and you tried everything else, why not take a chance?" Do think, just do it and if not for yourself do for the people around you.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch is a caring person. He took the time to get to know me and my situation and explained how the Stellate Ganglion Block would work very clearly. He has given me my life back. I had tried therapy, medication, and emdr for over three years. Nothing felt like it restored me back to my normal life before my traumatic accident. But Dr. Lynch's performance of the Stellate Ganglion Block on me has me feeling like I felt before my accident. I never thought I'd get back to that point, and I am grateful for Dr. Lynch for getting me back to my normal, pre-accident self.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch saw me to help with a number of injuries to my right leg. I had experienced numerous complications from a dislocated knee injury and the subsequent vascular surgery and nerve palsy. Dr. Lynch helped tremendously with listening to and understanding my concerns, and laying out a clear way for me to continue to rehabilitate my injury effectively. Dr. Lynch also helped me with pain relief from a gunshot wound to the same leg. The pain resulted from the bullet still remaining in my lower right leg muscle, and I have had no pain issues with that injury since the visit with Dr. Lynch.

Provided by Doctor.comAfter getting a "there is nothing you can do other than heel replacement surgery" :( from another Ortho doc I was referred to ROSM. Dr. Lynch did two alternative procedures which seem to helping reduce the pain significantly, I am still recovering, but it's going well. I am VERY active with hiking, rucking, biking and ice hockey and I need my heel to be pain free. Dr Lynch is great!

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch was very easy to talk with and explain my injury. He then clearly explained his treatment plan to heal my meniscus tear. He listened to and answered all the questions I had. I have recovered from the meniscus tear according to Dr. Lynch. I have followed the prescribed physical therapy and I am seeing the benefits. We have reviewed my status and I'm continuing to pursue strengthening my knee. I look forward to getting back on the tennis court soon. Thanks Dr. Lynch.

Provided by Doctor.comI NEVER do reviews, but I had to do one for Dr. Lynch! After years of ongoing back issues I luckily came across Dr. Lynch. He went over some options before we decided on Prolo Therapy. It truly changed my life! My pain is gone and I am able to enjoy day to day living again. He clearly communicated throughout the process and did an excellent job explaining everything. He shows genuine concern and does a great job of building a positive relationship. During each treatment, he puts you at ease with his step by step explanation of what is occurring. I would highly recommend Dr. Lynch!

Provided by Doctor.comAfter years of high impact activity and weight gain, my back became a consistent source of pain and a limiting factor for exercise and other activities. Dr. Lynch analyzed my history and scans and presented several options for non-surgical intervention. After considering the pros and cons of each option, I chose to pursue prolo-therapy. Dr. Lynch walked me through the entire process and was upfront about what to expect at each stage of treatment. After finishing the therapy, I can easily say that it was a success. I'm more active now (jogging regularly) and my pain is no longer an impediment to enjoying life. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and his entire team.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch and his staff were incredible, from the 1st call I made to their office to right now experiencing the relief of my 1st SGB. I will only recommend ROSM for SGB treatment, their reputation is truly above and beyond any and all expectation. Dr. Lynch is a true HEALER. I thank him for everything and for the SGB giving me a 2nd chance at life.

Provided by Doctor.comDr Lynch quickly and accurately diagnosed my lower back issues and recommended Prolotheraphy. I followed his advice and have to say I am really pleased that my back pain has been eliminated.
I would strongly advise anyone, weather an athlete or not, that has back problems or other orthopedic issues seek out R.O.S.M. and especially Dr Lynch for guidance, assistance or treatment for the problem.
No pain is a very good thin.
Thanks Dr Lynch
Sincerely,
Gary E Utterback

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch was AMAZING! I have never had a medical provider spend as much time with me than Dr. Lynch did. He asked a lot of questions, listened intently, and then shared everything about the procedure, risks and the range of possible outcomes. He treated me as an equal, and was compassionate and caring throughout the entire process. He staff was equally caring and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and ROSM.

Provided by Doctor.comI had anxiety and pain that had threatened to make me unable to do my job anymore. It certainly had taken the joy from my life. I heard about this treatment from a friend and had hoped it would help me too. I felt immediately different, calmer. I noticed being able to enjoy things again that I hadn't in some time. The anxiety had calmed enough for me to assess things more clearly and make better plans to eliminate stress. Dr Lynch was absolutely amazing, highly recommended!
