Wonderful Doctor

by GrammaHoge at Citysearch

Before I came to his office, I was not scared but was very frustrated with the Medical Doctors and the drugs they wanted me to take. I have not taken any type of drug for over 10 years. Thought I was fairly healthy with the supplements I was taking, but come to find out with Dr. K, I do have some serious problems. Now under his care, I know things will be much better. Finding out the correct supplements to take, the right kind of diet, and helping my back - he rates all AAA's. He is very knowledgeable and professional, caring and kind. Yes, I would highly recommend Dr. K. to my family and friends, have already done so.

Great Doctor!

Real results, great service and such kind people. This is the perfect place if you're looking to feel better and enrich your life.

I like to refer to Dr. K as my healer, not my Doctor. I'm only 24, yet when I found the Applied Kinesiology Center I was literally at the end of my rope. I'd seen countless specialist (12 in a few years time to be exact) and no one could find what was causing my many ailments. Fainting, low blood pressure, fatigue, weight gain, hair loss.. the list goes on. They had become so unbearable I was hardly able to get out of bed in the mornings; and as a fitness instructor I needed my energy and my health, back. I was already extremely healthconscious, eating organic, taking supplements, working out daily and nothing was working. But just a few short months of seeing Dr. K and I already feel so much better. I'm actually starting to feel like myself again! That's something I could never accomplish going to traditional doctors. He's so great in fact, my sister and I both drive once a week from Houston to see him. I wouldn't make that drive if it wasn't worth it!

Great Chiropractor!

I am very happy with Dr. K!

Before I came here, my overall health was declining, despite regular visits to other practitioners, eating primarily organic foods and taking supplements. With prior doctors there was a set protocol for the adjustments and treatments, which didn’t always address my issues.

I felt better right away after seeing Dr. K. He reduced my supplements and has used numerous treatment methods. Each time he listens to me and solves my particular concern. His knowledge of different healing methods amazes me. I have never known a doctor to spend so much time on continuing education. He must spend most of his off-time doing it.

I’ve been seeing Dr. K. for almost two years now. It turned out I had some long-term health issues that had never been accurately diagnosed before. For the first time in years, it feels like I am getting to the root cause of my health issues and actually solving them. My biggest issue was chronic headaches. He has helped me understand the cause, given guidance and support to keep them from occurring some tricks to make the go away, if I get any.

I feel like he listens and really cares. I am so much healthier since I’ve been seeing him. I have referred several friends and relatives and will continue to do so.

Fantastic!

After having my daughter I just couldn't bounce back! It was all I could do to drag myself out of bed to take care of her let alone the rest of my family. I was EXHAUSTED. Then I started getting really dry skin which turned into a rash and then hives. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of (let me mention that my sister is also a Chiropractor, but not a Kinesiologist, so I tried TONS of non-medication treatments). I couldn't sleep at night because of the hives that were on 90% of my body and combined with waking up with my new baby at night, I was a wreck! I finally gave in and made an appointment with a Dr at Scott and White and was told during the 10 min appointment that I had Eczema and was sent on my way with a prescription for steroids. NOT what I wanted. I KNEW the steroids wouldn't fix whatever was wrong with me but I didn't know where else to turn.

Then I found Dr. K. Feeling very hopeful, I made an appointment for the next week. Dr. K was FABULOUS! I walked out of that first session KNOWING he would help me figure out what was going on with me.

Healing didn't happen overnight (don't we wish it did!) but after a couple weeks I began to notice amazing improvements! It was slow going but I stuck with it and after 6 months I felt more normal that I had in almost 2 years. Oh, and I lost the 20 pounds Id been trying to get rid of since my daughter was born.

I am so far from the person that walked into Dr K's office for the first time- I cant even believe it was me. I have the energy and motivation to exercise, work, take care of my family (6 yr old and 2 yr old + husband and dog), Bible study, football practice and healthy cooking - Thank you Dr. K!

If you feel that you have tried "everything"...

I can’t start off with an accurate review without mentioning some of my history, and what got me to this point. Years ago I had a major battle with hives. They were so out of control that I could not function normally for about five months. I went to my doctors and had blood drawn and several tests run for allergies. I was given steroids (which made it worse) and Atarax (which made me feel like I was paralyzed). Even though I have 100% medical coverage through my employer, I paid to try acupuncture, foot detox, reflexology, lymphatic drainage massage, infrared sauna treatments, had dental amalgams removed, and anything else that I heard might bring some relief or cure. I was literally at my wits end and did not want to be on the planet any longer if I was going to have to deal with that for the rest of my life.

I was living in Arlington, TX at the time and was recommended to an Applied Kinesiologist (AK) nearby. The first day I gave samples of blood, urine, and saliva, then returned later that day for the analysis. I was educated within the first few minutes on exactly what was causing my hives. It was so simple that I cannot tell you how frustrating it was to know that everyone else I had seen just scratched their heads and explained to me that there’s no way to determine what causes hives, and that the only relief was going to be with drugs. I did get some immediate relief and eventually win that fight, and I wound up using him as my regular doctor for the remaining years that I lived there.

My work brought me to Austin in 2009, and it was a challenge to find someone whom I could trust and have confidence in regarding my ideas about what true health care is. But several months ago my life took an interesting turn, and it forced me into doing just that. I began having severe feelings of anxiety and depression, and felt as if I were spiraling downward quickly. I went to several doctors, even a psychiatrist, and they all recommended a ‘mild’ anti-depressant. Talk about making things worse, and in my opinion putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound; treating the symptom while the underlying issue remains. I knew that it was something I could make it through without drugs, and I also knew I could not do it alone. I got online and did some serious research, found Dr. K’s website, and made an appointment immediately.

During the first visit I received several things; knowledge about what was causing it, confidence that I would be able to get out of it quickly, initial immediate relief, and most importantly someone that I knew I could count on to help me out of that difficult time. Thankfully, within just a few weeks I was completely out of my crisis mode; and have since then been working with Dr. K to target some specific health issues which again, have not been identified properly and/or resolved through the health care already provided to me.

Dr. K is a team player. You will know right from the start that he genuinely not only wants to help you get better; but can. He is able to take very simple and natural approaches to target the issue(s), as well as provide drug-free solutions. He has an amazingly positive attitude and compassion towards making people better; and no lie, you feel better just being around him.

For what it’s worth I’m offering my experiences as a person who has spent years trying various modalities and spending thousands of dollars trying to find one that consistently works. If you have unexplained or unresolved health issues, feel you have tried everything but nothing has worked yet, are at your wits end and willing to do anything to get better, have asked for answers and no ‘doctor’ seems to be able to provide them to you, are in need of some relief and/or hope for your condition, then it is a small price to pay to know what’s causing it, get a solution, and be able to regain quality of life. You do deserve that, and your life is worth it.
