Why I chose HeartLight Wellness ...
LIFETIME STOMACH PROBLEMS SOLVED
I struggled with painful stomach issues and had a flare-up while in Santa Fe working on a motion picture. I was frustrated after an incredible number of doctors in New York City could do nothing for me. Desperate for help, I did an internet search and found Dr. Irene Dougherty at HeartLight Wellness.
Dr. Dougherty had a 5-Star rating, and I was intrigued that she was also a Loomis Digestive Health Specialist and held a Masters in Acupuncture. I made an appointment with her, and after two visits, I made a huge recovery. I am now symptom-free and healing back in NYC. TJ

48 million doctor's office visits and 8 million emergency room visits
