Patient Testimonials

“Absolutely love Dr. Springer! He has changed my life. I was having severe stomach issues, distended stomach and silent acid reflux. I had gone to several other physicians, including specialists, and no one could help me get to the root of the problem. He immediately diagnosed the issues and has me feeling better than I have in years! Thank you!!!”

Laura S.

“For 20 years, I was bedridden a lot of the time. Was told by medical professionals I was incurable. I was allergic to most foods. At one point I was at 110 pounds. I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and schizophrenia. Within two months of seeing Doctor George Springer all my neurological and fatigue issues went away. Dr. Springer told me when I saw him for my first appointment…that I had leaky gut syndrome. He explained that with a poor digestion and limited ability to absorb nutrients, my adrenals and brain was starving for vital nourishment. That with leaky gut my body was more sensitive to foods, due to absorbtion issues, which was the reason for my allergy problems. That was almost 10 years ago. From laying in bed watching my life go by… I’ve now been able to go to college, get jobs, date, live life. And am not allergic to foods anymore. I’m grateful and will be so as long as I live. The natural approach and advice I was given has changed my life.”

“Thank goodness my daughter found Spectra Wellness, and especially Dr. Springer! She dealt with debilitating gut issues for several years. She went to a regular GI doctor who didn’t know much about her situation, and all he did was prescribe more harmful PPI medications which made her situation worse. Spectra Wellness not only healed her, but provided an invaluable wealth of information she can use for the rest of her life. She feels great and feels she’s been given her life back! By the way, “Kinesiology” is a natural way your body communicates its internal issues. It’s also known as “muscle testing.” It is truly amazing! If more people would “think outside the box,” there would be a lot more folks feeling great and less need for harmful medications. We can’t thank Dr. Springer enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, a talented doctor, and a genius!”
