Provided by Doctor.comFrom the moment I met Dr. Lynch I felt like he understood me. I have had multiple years of therapy from being sexually abused by a pediatrician starting in 3rd grade yet my PTSD symptoms have only increased with age. At 55 I knew I needed to try something new. Trauma physically changes our bodies. This treatment has fixed the part of my body that was damaged. I literally can't believe how much it has changed how my body responds to the world around it. With therapy, this is a very real solution to life threatening condition. Thank you Dr. Lynch. Words don't even come close to how grateful I am to have met you.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch makes you feel comfortable, heard, and informed. I have a lot of medical trauma and am scared of doctors, especially new ones. From the first visit I immediately felt at ease and I knew I would be taken care of. I underwent the Stellate Ganglion block procedure and the idea of it was terrifying. He told me exactly what he would be doing, and even assured me it would be underwhelming, and it was! The effects have truly changed my life and that's not something I say lightly. I suffer from PTSD and a post-Covid effect called Parosmia where everything I taste and smell smells like garbage. I was truly hopeless and desperate for some kind of relief after more than a year, I tried everything and read online that this procedure was providing some people relief. I was going to have to be tube fed and hospitalized, but now even if it is not perfect I can finally eat, it feels like magic. My PTSD symptoms have also improved, I feel like someone erased my whiteboard. One word, relief.

I had not been able to sleep very much, ptsd ubo w the roof, anxiety was crazy and depression was bad. Since I have had this shot, I have been able to handle everything much better and I don't have long attacks from above mentioned problems. Even all the people who know me have seen a big change for the best!

Provided by Doctor.comIt's really hard to put words down when there is no description for the amount of emotions that I'm currently going through. Dr. Lynch was not only professional and kind, he made it feel as though I were a family member that he cared about.

Provided by Doctor.comi had treatment on both sides. minimal pain which was a plus. I felt like 50 lbs was lifted off my chest and i could finally take a deep breathe again after years of living with complex PTSD.
After my first treatment i woke up the morning after not covered in sweat or overcome by panic from nightmares.
It is also great that he is an Army Vet. And we related on being Fort Bragg Family.
Dr.Lynch is so genuine that i really believe he continues to support the people he has helped. Army Strong Hooah!

Provided by Doctor.comI have been suffering from PTSD symptoms for over 5 years after a life-threatening experience. The SGB has proven to be effective for me only a few minutes after the injection. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for what you do. This is an amazing experience.
Pour les gens du Quebec, je vous recommande fortement les services de Dr Lynch pour traiter le stress post-traumatic. La clinique est parfaite et l'acces pour le traitement est facile.
Merci a toute l'equipe,

Provided by Doctor.comThe line sounds hookay but its true. Dealing with Civilian doctors makes you feel like you are just a paycheck to them. Dr. Lynch goes above and beyond that and make you feel important, He throughly and accurately explains the process he's going through letting you know in layman terms whats about to happen. Constant check in during relaxing period something he could dictate to his nurses to do for him but he personally does it. I'm 100% satisfied with my experience and would not go to anyone else for this.

Provided by Doctor.comGreeted professionally, treated very friendly! The office staff was ready for my visit and had all the paper work ready for me to sign. Dr. Lynch saw me with little to no waiting, and explained what might have caused my foot issue. I have followed his recommendations and my foot is getting much better!

Provided by Doctor.comAfter many surgeries, I still had considerable pain and mobility impairment. I couldn't find anyone who could help, other than to provide me with steroid injections and pain medication. Dr. Lynch took the time to explore alternative treatments with me. After a few treatments with Dr. Lynch, I am now able to walk normally and live a relatively pain free life. Would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Lynch to anyone who is looking to avoid surgery and restore their body's normal functions.

Provided by Doctor.comDr Lynch was very thorough in explaining exactly how the procedure works, why it works, and how it can help. He listened whenever I had questions and answered them clearly. The procedure was quick and easy. The effects have decreased my PTSD symptoms and high levels of anxiety tremendously. If you are considering doing the SGB procedure, I would highly recommend it.

Provided by Doctor.comBest step we have taken in the care of our daughter's PTSD. After numerous other attempts we have found the immediate effects of SGB to be exceptional. Looking forward to seeing the long term effects.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch perfectly described everything in great detail from what the SGB results would be to the physical procedure itself. It seems too good to be true during the initial research on your own. I have never felt so calm and collected in my entire life as I have after the SGB. My mind was always spiraling out of control with random thoughts of anger/anxiety and within a minute after the procedure, my mind is finally placid. A snow globe was my best description. The SGB is not too good to be true, it is just true in my experience, if you are thinking of getting the SGB done, I cannot recommend Dr.Lynch enough. This is certainly overwhelming in the best possible ways.

Provided by Doctor.comDuring the past year I had struggled with extreme anxiety and constant nausea to the point where eating daily had become an issue. I tried medicines and therapy which were great, but the Ganglion block made the largest difference in my life by far. Within 24 hours of the procedure I took my first nap without medication in about two years which has been such a huge relief. I just came in to get my left side as well because it has been such a life changer.

Provided by Doctor.comI came to visit Dr. Lynch regarding a long-time constant pain in my shoulder/trap area. At my initial visit, he listened carefully to what my issues/concerns were and offered a solution that was individualized to my specific needs. I have to say I NEVER felt, rushed, pressured, or not part of the decision making process. Dr. Lynch took the time to explain everything to me in a manner which I could understand. The procedure was a success and I feel like a different person. I would highly recommend him. I would also like to say the staff are polite, professional, and courteous as well.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Lynch is extremely professional and caring. He knows what he's doing and makes you feel at ease. Before I came here, I felt as if there was no hope left. After doing both blocks, I felt like a completely changed person. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling as I came out of the office. If you're on the fence about this procedure as I was for a long time, go for it. It will change your life.
