Chronic Illness

Dr Stram is like no other doctor I have met. And I’ve seen MANY

Dr Stram and his team have been a Godsend. I truly thought I was facing death when I went to my first appointment. Lyme Disease had attacked my body for almost a year, focusing on my heart. I had been in the hospital with abnormalities, and Dr Stram took that very seriously. He addressed the heart issues immediately. I am currently 12 weeks into treatment and having normal EKGs thanks to him. Many of my other symptoms have been minimized greatly. Dr Stram is like no other doctor I have met. And I’ve seen MANY. He sincerely cares, takes his time, addresses all questions I have, I never feel rushed, and he’s truly compassionate and giving. Between him and his staff, I never feel pushed off or like I’m a burden. I have many questions often and I never have to wait long for a response. I could go on for days about how I highly recommend Dr Stram and his staff. The team is highly equipped with many different services to help with detoxing and self care. Massage, acupuncture, HBOT, Sauna, and so much more. Thank you will never cover my gratitude. But thank you to the team at the Stram Center.

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

We feel fortunate every day and we recommend Stram Center to everyone who comes to us with questions.

This review is long overdue. In the winter of 2014, my husband and I found ourselves getting sick every month for no apparent reason. We dismissed it due to wedding planning but then right after our wedding in early 2015, both of our bodies shut down and we were suddenly, severely sick. We spent the next year and a half visiting doctors and specialists with a couple trips to the emergency room. We endured scares of cancer, MS, Mono, Chikungunya virus, Typhus, MRIs of every major organ, the brain, and spine, countless amounts of blood work along with a painful spinal tap. We were checked for Lyme three times by our doctors but results came back inconclusive. Neither of us ever even had a rash! Eventually we were told, "We don't know what's wrong with you, wait and see what happens." We were so sick that we couldn't get up to get a drink of water without exhaustion or fully explain what was wrong due to impaired/delayed cognitive function, just to name a couple symptoms. We had no quality of life and thought we would never get better. Our doctors advised against going to Stram Center but we were fed up and desperately needed help. We went to Stram Center in Delmar, in the summer of 2016 and we are forever grateful we did!  who tested us and began treatment immediately. Treatment was intense but we followed protocols exactly as instructed and started feeling better within weeks!! We continued treatment as advised and I'm happy to say that I completely finished treatment by October 2016 and my husband finished this past March. We are both in complete remission without major symptoms. We have our lives back! We feel fortunate every day and we recommend Stram Center to everyone who comes to us with questions. Everyone we met at Stram Center in Delmar was not only very helpful but they were the most compassionate and patient people with us during the hardest time of our lives. Thank you so-so-so- much Stram Center!!

It would be impossible to thank the entire Stram Center enough for helping me with my Lyme Disease. After going to hospitals in NY, Philadelphia, Boston, NJ, Mayo Clinic . I was diagnosed with a ton of diseases none of which I had.  Finally, I found my way thanks to a friend to the Cleveland Clinic.  They had just opened a division for patients like me that cannot get diagnosed. Cleveland diagnosed me with chronic Lyme and sent me immediately to The Stram Center. Within two weeks I was at Stram getting treatment. I cannot tell you how kind and helpful the entire staff was. They were always there to answer questions and to help me with whatever I needed. 

One day I was in the infusion room and when finished tried getting up from my chair...

Could not stand by myself at this time.  Before I knew it two nurses were right next to me picking me up.  Never had to ask for help they just had a very sharp eye on all the patients. I am in constant contact with The Center, and I do go up for visits.  I also have phone appointments with Dr Stram.  He is following all my treatments closely and he is speaking with my Doctors in NJ.   This man is just so caring, brilliant and he is always there if needed.

The Stram Institute saved my life and kept me out of a wheelchair.

I highly recommend Dr Stram for anything you may need.  He will take blood, analyze it and then get you on the road to recovery. The fact that Cleveland Clinic said this is the "only" place to go for Lyme I knew I was in the right facility. I was petrified when I first went.  The staff immediately calmed me down and I soon became very comfortable with everyone.  Yes, Gretta you are the only person in my life that ever gave me an IV that I did not feel.  You as do all the staff have amazing skills. I now belong to the Stram Family and I will be with them forever.  

I love you all

The team at the Stram Center saved my life without a doubt. They also gave the tools and knowledge to remain well and healthy. I'll forever be grateful!

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.

I have worked with Rebecca for over one year on a matter doctors could not treat without heavy medicine, which I did not want to do. I looked  for an acupuncturist to help me, and chose to go to the Stram Center to meet with Rebecca. On our first meeting, I felt comfortable to talk to her about my problems. IBS is not really talked about but Rebecca knew how to treat it. Even when I had at tacks, her treatment was always available to me and she made time for me when I needed. I highly recommend Rebecca!

Today is one of those days, when the words "thank you" seem so ordinary for offering gratitude for extra-ordinary gifts. When I first came to the Center, I came with some amount of cynicism, since I have spent so much time, energy, money and most of all trust and hope on promises and sales jobs by other practitioners. Very soon I came to realize that what you and your colleagues are doing is so much different and most of all it is authentic, genuine and sincere. Over many years the empty promises led me to dis-trust most everyone and to lose hope that I would ever find a path to wellness. For me, the most important element of healing is really knowing someone is "really" there to support the process.

This compassion, caring and true knowledge that you offer is a gift that only true "healers" possess. So, once again, I offer my deep gratitude for what you are doing and I feel very fortunate to be a beneficiary of what the Center offer
