I recently went to see Dr. Mason-Wood, ND as I had a bout of shingles. The shingles had been misdiagnosed as a bacterial skin infection so it went several days before I was diagnosed. Because of this, the traditional antiviral medication I was prescribed was less effective than if I had began the dosage at the immediate onset of the shingles. When I went to see Dr. Mason-Wood, ND, I was in a lot of pain! Shooting pain into my left jaw, ear, and teeth. I was taking Percocet every 4 hours and even then was experiencing some pain. At my initial visit, he was incredibly prepared. He had his books out and explained the treatment plan he had in mind for me. We “attacked” the shingles from 3 different directions – homeopathic “tinctures” following an anti-viral protocol, daily vitamin B12 injections and finally a nerve block injection into my affected nerve and homeopathic injections around the rash on my face. After the first nerve block injection, I had no pain for 8 hours and only needed to take pain medication to sleep that night. By the next day, the rash on my face had flattened and nearly disappeared. I went back the next day for another set of injections. Two days later I was back at work – tired, but still back at work. Overall, I recovered from shingles in about 2 weeks from the initial onset – in many individuals the pain can persist for months. Now, 3 weeks since the initial onset, I am no longer on any medications, and am not in any pain or discomfort. Thank you Dr. Mason-Wood, ND!

I thought I would take time to write you a thank you email.
I came to you in 2016 with vulvodynia. You said you didn’t have much experience with this condition, but agreed to see me anyway. I received vulva and spinal injections and multiple 03 intravenous sessions. I cried out of emotional depletion for almost the full duration of one appointment, but you still managed to give me hope.
About six months after my last visit, my symptoms resolved by half of what I was experiencing. Within one year I was pain free.
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being an outstanding doctor. For going the extra mile with research and offering multiple interventions. Finding this clinic was a milestone in my healing path.
I wanted to thank the ladies at the front desk for holding my hand through visits, listening, offering water and most of all offering my mom (who often accompanied me) an empathic ear. They always made my visits less stressful, and I cannot express my gratitude for the generosity and kindest I was given.
Drs. Michael & Chris, NDs are such wonderful people and have helped my husband and I tremendously. We are forever grateful.

I saw Dr. Mason-Wood, ND for my shingles. The day after my visit the rash on my face had nearly disappeared and 2 days later I was back at work. I was completely recovered in about 2 weeks – for many, the pain can be long lasting. Thank you!
I received NAD IV therapy for 5 days from Dr Mason-Wood, ND to treat pharmaceutical medication dependency, anxiety, and insomnia. The treatment was very successful. I had very little withdrawal symptoms from the benzodiazepines I had been taking.
