Testimonials | Sarasota Neuropathy Center

Meet Patricia. Patrica says her neuropathy made her feet feel like two blocks of cement. She says it often stopped her from being able to shop, cook her own meals, or even go to the restroom at night without a walker because of how it affected her balance. After starting care, Patricia says she can finally move and feel her feet again, which allows her to keep up with her granddaughter while shopping!

Meet Holly. Holly says her neuropathy made it very difficult to walk because it was painful to take a step. She says she is grateful to find an office that made her feel welcomed, supported, and helped her live a healthier life. Since starting care, she says her feet are now more flexible with much less pain and are no longer a concern.

Meet Robert. Robert had been struggling with neuropathy due to diabetes complications for several years. Robert’s balance had gotten to the point where he was having multiple falls a year while performing simple tasks around the home and he was concerned that he let his neuropathy get to the point where nothing could be done and he would be destined to lose toes. Fortunately, we caught his neuropathy before it got to that point and Robert and Anna have seen great improvement with Robert’s neuropathy.

Meet Pastor Derek. Pastor Derek had suffered from complications from Type 2 Diabetes for 20 years. He tried medications, felt lethargic, and suffered from gout and continuous pain. Since starting care, he says he feels stronger, has more energy, and that the pain has left his body, allowing him to get back to speaking and teaching like he loves to do.

Meet Ralph. Ralph had been suffering from neuropathy pain for over 3 years. His condition was affecting his ability to walk, and his balance had gotten to the point that he had taken multiple falls. Since working with Ralph, he has seen almost all of his pain in his feet vanish, as well as significant improvements in his balance.

Meet Carl. Carl suffered from significant nerve damage in both legs. After just four months of following all of Dr. Berning’s recommendations, Carl is pleased to say he saw a 50% improvement in his condition so far.

Meet Robert. Robert’s neuropathy pain made it difficult for him to work more than an hour or two before he had to take his shoes off and sit down to let his feet rest. He says he suffered from constant pain. He tried medication to alleviate the pain, but says he had to stop because of the side effects. After just a month and a half of treatment, Robert says he can go a whole work day without having to take off his shoes. He is hopeful for how well he will do under Dr. Berning’s care.

Meet Bill. From a decade playing professional hockey for the Boston Bruins, needless to say there is going to be damage in the body.

Meet Melissa. Melissa came to us suffering from neuropathy induced by her chemotherapy treatment. Melissa had been on 3,000 mg of Gabapentin and was concerned with her worsening symptoms of numbness and pain, and having to continue increasing her medications as a result. After about 2 months of being treated, Melissa has experienced incredible improvement in her pain levels. As a result, she is able to sleep much better, and has been able to significantly reduce her Gabapentin dosage to 900 mg with hopes of being completely off of it in the near future!

Meet Peter. Peter came in with discomfort in his right foot around his toes and was ready to live without it. After about one month of working with Dr. Berning, the discomfort in Peter’s feet had vanished, and the overall sensation in his feet has significantly improved.
