Report
After months of seeing doctors; being referred to specialists; trying various medications; and being poked, prodded, tested,and scanned, I called "enough!" and came to the realization that I was the person ultimately responsible for my own health care. All I needed was for someone more knowledgeable to guide and advise me. Patricia Diefenbach turned out to be that someone. Her willingness to listen, practical advise, expert knowledge, support, and follow-up made all the difference. Two months later, I feel like a new person. Thank you, Dr. Diefenbach!

Patricia is amazing. She listens, evaluates all the factors and creates a plan that is simple and effective. She has helped my son get off acid reflux medicine he has been on since a baby, regain his appetite and enjoy eating again. I would recommend her to anyone.
