" I thank God for Dr. Stram and pray that He will continue to bless this practice"

When I first came to the Stram Center three years ago, I could not stand up straight and had a hard time walking. I knew I had Lyme Disease, but could not find a doctor in all of Syracuse who would diagnose or treat me. Dr. Stram spent two and half hours with me on my first visit (when has that ever happened in a doctor's office before??) He diagnosed me with Lyme and started me on a treatment plan immediately. While recovery for anyone with Lyme is a long and often complicated process (and it was for me) I can tell you that I am living a full and happy life once again. Dr. Stram and his staff have been so much more to me than simply "providers". They have been compassionate healers dedicated to my overall well-being. I have recommended them to many people in my circles who are suffering with Lyme and I would recommend them to you. I thank God for Dr. Stram and pray that He will continue to bless this practice.

 My daughter was sick for almost eight years and not one "specialist" we were sent to said, "Lyme" ("Lyme doesn't exist".) Thankfully we found the Stram Center and I cannot say enough good things about the staff. My daughter is finally getting the help she needs.

I have been meaning to write to you all to thank you so much for all that you have done for Davida and our family.

Greetings Stram Center:

I have been meaning to write to you all to thank you so much for all that you have done for Davida and our family. You have no idea what you have done for us and we will be forever grateful, accommodation in Ireland for life.

Just to tell you how much you have done for us:

Jan 2013 we were in hospital in Dublin thinking that this will be it, as we had our Lyme results from Germany in our hands and that help would be given. Our Dr. had looked for Davida to be admitted as she hadn't walked since the previous Sept and the pain was getting worse. Unfortunately or fortunately as we look at it now they ripped the results up and ranted and raved how crazy we were. I brought Davida home and we had already an appointment in Germany for Feb 12th. Before we left for Germany I asked Davida was she sure about going as she was very unwell and sleeping a lot. She said she had to go as she knew she had someone to meet there...... at the time I thought nothing of this but now believe that was to be Dr Stram.

We are so appreciative of the whole Stram Team and just know that from the reception door to the treatment rooms the atmosphere and the kindness exceeds all other places we have been to. I hope that you are all proud of that and no matter how rough a day has been for any of you just know that you have helped so many just being in the professions that you are all in.

Forever Grateful

Thanks to Dr. Stram who recognized my symptoms as being Lyme and treating me immediately with a multi-supplement and drug regimen that has me back on my feet and functioning well!

Kelsey is helping to spread the word that Lyme Disease is REAL through her original song and story of how she "smiles through the pain" of Lyme Disease.

"Within a month, I was nearly pain free, my digestion was under control and I was able to enjoy things in life again"

Kim has this to say about her experience-
I don't often do recommendations, but these folks are truly wonderful! The Stram Center is extremely clean and welcoming. The staff are very pleasant, supportive, and helpful. They really care about the patients, and have always taken the time and effort responding to any questions I have had. I arrived at the Stram Center with chronic joint pain throughout my body, IBS, arthritis, and severe fatigue. With the help of their fantastic licensed acupuncturist, herbal medications, and sound professional advise from Dr. Stram I improved weekly. Within a month I was nearly pain free, my digestion was under control, and I was able to enjoy things in life again. Highly Recommended!!

Listen as Mary describes how seeing Dr. Ron Stram and the caring practitioners at the Stram Center for Integrative Medicine near Albany, NY, has been one of the top 10 best things she's done in her life.

The practice of Dr. Stram is the most incredible healing practice that I have ever been involved with. Listen to Joe's experience

The Center and Dr. Stram helped me deal not only with my health problems and managing my health issues, but also just taught me a different way of thinking about life and that's been helpful to me to grow as a person. Listen to hear Kecia's personal story of health and  recovery

The Stram Center didn't tell me I have 4-6 months to live; they said 'we are going to attack this with everything we can.' I believe I have been helped here. Listen to Christine's heart felt story about her battle with cancer

In loving memory of Christine, who lived more than two years beyond her initial prognosis. Christine agreed to sit with us for this interview because she wanted to encourage others not to give up hope if you are told you have a few months to live and to seek an oncologist who will work with alternative medicine.
