My Own Journey into Healing

Nearly 50 years ago, during my undergraduate pre-med

studies, I found myself caught in the relentless pressure of

maintaining a 3.8 GPA to secure a place in medical school.

The stress was overwhelming—endless studying,

competitive coursework, and the constant fear of falling

short.

​

Over time, my body began to break down. I struggled to

regulate my body temperature, suffered from insomnia,

and battled anxiety so intense that it felt like needles were

piercing every pore of my skin. Desperate for answers, I

turned to the student health services, hoping for relief. The

diagnosis? Anxiety. The solution? A prescription for Valium

and sleeping pills.

​

The medications I was prescribed only made me feel

worse, and I knew deep down that masking symptoms

wasn’t true healing. I asked myself, Is this really the kind

of doctor I want to become—one who prescribes

medication without addressing the root cause? On a whim,

I followed a recommendation to visit a chiropractor and

nutritionist in the next town—Dr. David Kaufman.

​

That decision changed everything. Within weeks of

working with him, my symptoms dramatically improved. I

felt a level of balance and well-being that I hadn’t known

was possible. I knew then: This was the kind of healing I

wanted to practice. Six months later, I enrolled at New

York Chiropractic College, eventually earning my doctorate

with a specialty in kinesiology. Later, I pursued advanced

training in acupuncture, further expanding my

understanding of how the body heals.

​

Now, after nearly 45 years of practice, I can say with

certainty that my personal healing journey shaped the way

I care for my patients.
