Dear Dr. DiRoma, 

Thank you so much for everything. Another year of treatment has come and gone, a year of ups and downs, hurdles and struggle, revelations and more and through it all we've been beyond thankful for the patience, care, compassion and support we've received from you. 

You've truly saved me from the worst of a serious and severe amount of pain and debilitation in so many ways and situations. You've  given us hope and a pathway  to healing and life in spite of the limitations of the Lyme journey. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for walking through the storm with us. I know I express thanks every year, but life on this earth is precious and short, and people who truly care to partner in safeguarding the quality of that life as you do are rare, and deserve to have the words of gratitude and appreciation. I'm not sure what my health journey will look like in the coming year, but we're both very thankful to have you at the helm watching over and supporting the best life. Thank you so much for all that you do and have done for us and so many people. We hope you have a wonderful  Christmas and holiday season and New Year. May God bless you and keep you and everyone here at the Stram Center. 

Love, 
Angela and Patrick

They were the first health care facility that seemed to truly listen to my concerns and symptoms.

 Before I found them, I was told I might never get better, and I began to believe that, as I felt worse with every day. Once I started my medical journey with the Stram Center everything changed. They finally pieced together the missing pieces of the puzzle and over the course of a few years I went from hardly able to go for walks, to running for miles and miles. I went from sick, exhausted, and chronically in pain to healthy, active and normal. I am forever grateful for the consideration they gave me, the treatment plan they tailored to my body, and the care they take with each of their patients. If you're sick, and you are looking to heal, look no further. I believe they saved my life.

Dr. DiRoma was extremely helpful to me during my period of prostate cancer treatment. The nutritional suggestions and herbal supplements he prescribed resulted in a remarkable diminishment of the side effects of my cancer treatments. I found Dr. DiRoma to be patient and informative and a pleasure to work with.

I am so thankful for the very few practitioners left who can do what Dr. Stram and Dr. DiRoma due, find a root cause and heal. 

There I was, sick, sick for over two years periodic episodes of 101-104 fevers, 90 pound weight loss, heart palpitations, nerve pain, fatigue, joint pain, headaches, brain fog, sudden OCD symptoms, horrible constipation alternating with days of making frequent trips to the bathroom, unbearable GI pain, constant nausea, heartburn even though I was on medication, electrolyte imbalances, dizziness, urinary issues, leg weakness to the point where I would sometimes fall over when standing, and yet not one of the 14 doctors I saw could give me answers. I was thrown around from specialty to specialty told it may be IBD, hypothyroidism, lupus, or maybe it was cancer. I felt like a lab rat being poked, scoped, and having every test you can think of. All possible diagnoses wrong.

Desperate as I sat home accepting this was the way the rest of my life was going to be. My family frustrated unable to help me, watching me rapidly decline. Then a light went off, my mom who worked with Dr. Stram over 20 years ago in ER medicine and suggested I see him to take a holistic approach to just help me feel better, I did not even know he was a LLMD at the time. I was so desperate to just feel better that I no longer wanted a diagnosis but just wanted to feel better. I walked into his office and was a bit hesitant as I have been failed by so many already, but he figured me out. Less than two weeks later I was CDC positive for Lyme, Tick Borne Relapsing Fever, and Bartonella. Here I am 6 months later, all of my symptoms better. I can function again; I feel like I have a future again. To be a 26-year-old mother to a child with a disability in our medical system, I was written off as being just “stressed” because I had a child with down syndrome, but Dr. Stram saw me, a woman who was indeed very sick and who was worthy of good health. Dr. Stram and his whole team has helped me and given me so much to look forward to again. I felt so alone, so ill, and had given up. The Stram Center has given me hope, gave me back purpose, gave me back my health & my future and for that I feel so grateful. I am so thankful for the very few practitioners left who can do what Dr. Stram and Dr. DiRoma due, find a root cause and heal. They are the very few making a difference and challenging the medical field to be better. In a broken medical system, they are the shining stars that are truly helping ill people regain health. To all of the healing hands at The Stram Center, thank you.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel toward the Stram Center. After feeling so gaslighted by previous doctors, I went to the Stram Center for help with undiagnosed issues with my gut, weight, skin, and hair loss. I immediately started meeting with Korey DiRoma as my naturopathic doctor and Janna Neitzel as my dietitian. These people really care.

 Through multiple tests, I got a lot of answers about my gut, hormones, and other — the biggest one: Lyme Disease.  And not only that, they listen and KNOW how to help you. I'm still in treatment with Dr. DiRoma, and he has been great. I've had so many of my weird questions answered with understanding and deep knowledge. Each of my appointments have left me feeling more and more hopeful for healing my body.

Meeting with Janna has also been amazing and successful! She gives you the tough truth when you need it, and a kind, caring ear when you need to talk through your food issues. Janna helped me work through disordered eating, food fears, and navigating food sensitivities from Lyme. I was coached in gaining healthy weight back to restore both my physical and mental health. I truly don't know where I'd be without her and am so thankful! My full review of the Stram Center is TBD because I'm still in treatment, but wow— to say the Stram Center has improved my life is an understatement. I'm so excited to keep healing
