He resolved a very painful abdominal nerve issue that 7 other Dr’s had no idea why I was having pain, but had no issues running every test on earth and even prescribing meds for diseases I didn’t have. I prefer Dr Dumanian’s approach to fixing the issue and being able to hopefully live a medication free existence.
