What makes Dr. Massey different?  He listens.

• "Dr. Massey really wants to hear your whole story...not just look at lab results and MRIs...he listens...concerned about you."

• "He wants you to heal...not just prescribe drugs...takes his time."

• "He listens...first 30 minutes, he did not say a word...I did all of the talking...and he was looking at me, not typing into a computer."

• He said to me..."it's not in your head or because of your age or being female." He did not dismiss me - he listened and found a solution."

• "A 30 minute office visit...I'm lucky if I even see my doctor - they all use physician assistants and nurses. 30 minutes with Dr. Massey - every time!"

• "He teaches...he drew the biochemical diagrams showing me where the problem was and had an answer. My other doctors don't even talk with me...they lecture and leave."

• "Every time I see my physician, a new prescription...not with Dr. Massey."

• "Dr. Massey is a regular doctor, expert in alternative medicine and an energy healer...met a lot of physicians - regular and alternative. No one does what Dr. Massey's does."

• “He asked me about everything...most complete first visit ever...and he showed me how it all fits together.”

• “…seven physicians and no result. Saw Dr. Massey and he put it all together. My condition does not even have a specific diagnosis."

• “I am not sure how to describe what Dr. Massey does...except that he helps you heal. This is what medicine is suppose to be.”

• “Way ahead of the curve! Thank you.”
