Dr Tatiana is absolutely amazing! She honestly saved my life. After 7 months of doctors visits, emergency room trips, seeing specialist after specialist, many expensive x-rays and cat scans, all to try and figure out the cause of my debilitating hip and abdominal pain. I had no answers other than swallow these pain pills for something we can't explain. What do you expect when each of appointment lasts maybe 15 minutes, with minimal attention given to me, the patient. I was at the end knowing I could not continue to live like this. I WASN'T living and barely surviving. The pain took my very active and fun life away from me. It also drained my bank account. I went from a very self-sufficient woman to not being able to leave my home. Let alone go to work. I couldn't even stand up to take a shower. There I sat, a shell of myself, desperate for another solution.
On a Friday evening, like so many other evenings, I was studying my old college anatomy textbooks. Just trying to find any answer all those doctors missed. Nerves, joints, the way the body moves. There had to be something. This wasn't normal, and I didn't want to take meds they couldn't give me any explanation for. That is when it hit me! I started to cry.
I plopped my faithful old textbooks on the floor next to my recliner. The recliner I had been prisoner to for 7 long and lonely months. I grabbed my phone and started researching alternative medicines. Mainly Chinese Medicine. This is how I remember it was a Friday. I spent the whole weekend researching every practitioner in the area. I found Dr Tatiana and decided she was the one. After a huge deep dive into her credentials, education, and licensing I could see she was so much more than an herbalist. Monday I called and we booked an appointment.
My first appointment she spent 2 hours talking with me. She actually wanted to understand my issues and my body. With all the other Doctors I felt like they were thinking about what they were going to cook for dinner that night, or whatever important life events burdened they're evening. Not with Dr Tatiana. She listened and she understands the body is a whole being.
After we talked for so long she had a game plan! She surprised me by having me get on her table. I thought for sure after spending that much time with me, the treatments would start on our next appointment. By the time I left her office ON THE VERY FIRST DAY the pain was hardly even noticeable!
That appointment was September 10th, the day she gave me my life back! It is now October 12th and I am back to my original physically active self! All with chiropractic work, knowledge of Chinese Medicine, and compassion. No pills, no supplements, no bologna word salad.
I write all of this because I really was going to end my life. The pain was too much, I was too much of a burden on my loved ones, I stopped talking to everybody because I didn't want to bring them down with my issues. After a life of raising kids and taking care of everyone, I simply felt useless.
Dr Tatiana really did save my life. And for that I will be forever grateful.
