Dr. Colmer is highly skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have met many practitioners and I have to say that he is the best. I’ve found that some practitioners will do standard protocols regardless of the patient’s symptoms and others, once they get to know a patient, will do the same acupuncture points over and over. Dr. Colmer takes into account the whole patient and their circumstances at each visit. In my opinion, his ability to diagnose is excellent and his treatments are quite effective. When I had a health challenge, Dr. Colmer was there for me and he was able to help me improve quickly. I can recommend Dr. Colmer for anyone seeking to recover or optimize their health, without reservation.
Dr Rick rocks! Without his caring advice, treatments and conscientiousness, I believe I won't be alive today. If he can do it for me, he can do the same to you. Thank you Dr Rick and please accept my gratitude!
Dr. Rick researches and has a treatment plan in place upon your 2nd visit. He gets to the issues quickly and expertly. His knowledge base is vast
Dr. Rick has helped me immensely through the years with numerous issues including cancer recovery, high emotional stress levels and heart recovery. His gentleness, kindness and knowledge of Chinese Medicine have played a huge role in keeping my health and emotional status balanced through it all. I have a positive outlook and remain in great health as a result of his treatments.
Dr. Colmer is a knowledgeable practitioner who believes in life-long learning. He's compassionate towards his patients and passionate about his work. His office is clean, comfortable and inviting. I've found his treatments to increase my overall energy and decrease my instances of migraine headache.
I would like to thank Dr. Colmer for his excellent work. I suffered a serious problem with my eye which made me see double (Diplopia). Other doctors told me I would need surgery, My mother recommended Dr. Colmer. Within 2 months my eye and vision were normal. Dr. Rick and his acupuncture treatments gave me my life back!
