In 12-06, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. The doctors removed a malignant tumor the size of a baseball. The cancer had spread to my lymph nodes and liver. I was told there was no hope to live. I prayed to God for healing and guidance. I feel God led me to the Gonino Wellness Group. I have been coming to Dr. Gonino for about 16 months. I have regained by weight and I am able to work part time as well as mowing and trimming my 2 acres. I Thank God I am alive and doing well. I pray to God that he will bless Dr. Gonino and his associates in their efforts to comfort and heal the sick. Walter R It just dawned on me that after these years under your care, I’ve never stopped long enough to tell you how thankful I am that God led us to you when we were looking a doctor in Rockwall area. It was about 5 years ago that I began your program of chelation therapy to counteract the angina that I was experiencing. I never had any reactions to the IV whatsoever, so I wasn’t sure that it was doing any good. My wife and I usually take an evening stroll to walk the dog, and get some exercise ourselves. The walk back to the house was an elevation of 10 to 15 degrees, so it took some effort for me to make that grade. In fact, I usually, if not always, had to stop and get my breath (wait for the angina to subside) before continuing on up the hill. I had taken about four chelation therapies, and found myself walking clear up to the house without stopping! I was delighted and overwhelmed, but still somewhat skeptical. However, from then on, I never did have to stop again to “catch my breath”. Now, that I am on a maintenance program, my angina has disappeared, my blood pressure has stabilized, and general health is so much improved. Now, if I can just continue to hold my weight in check, you and I will both be much happier about it. The veracity of your authencity as a true Medical doctor who cares about his patients, and subscribes to the Hypocratic Oath, is a number of patients who drive for hundreds of miles to be able to come to your office. I have visited with some of these people, some who are even from out-of-state, and found them really grateful to be able to be under your care. Thank you, for your personal care and concern that we experience when we visit your office. Your staff has that same “caring Attitude”, and believe me attitude is 90percent of life, God bless you as you continue to serve and reach out to your clients with your healing touch. Amy A Dr. Gonino and his staff have been a blessing and answer to my prayers. I found this website after weeks of searching the internet for anyone that could help me. At age 25, I went from working full time as a nurse and making several mission trips a year to becoming bedridden for a year. I had every medical test possible done and stopped counting at the 100th vial of blood that was drawn. After
nine months I finally received a diagnosis of Chiari Malformation
and had brain surgery in 2000. The following years were spent SLOWLY
recuperating, but suffering from many other problems. At times I
was getting better minute by minute and going to doctors who would
smile, pat my back and say, “See you in a month”. One
doctor actually said cheerfully, “Well dear at least you’re
not dead”. I was a number in their appointment book. I knew
something else was wrong, but doctors blew me off as having anxiety
and stress. These issues continued three and a half years after
my move to Dallas. When I began searching for another doctor I found
Dr. Gonino. I came to the office fearing that he would be like the
other doctors. On my first visit he diagnosed me with candida and
started a treatment plan. I have been coming here for almost three
years now and am so thankful God led me to him. He always takes
every concern seriously and looks at one as a total person, not
just a symptom. I never have trouble reaching someone when I have
had an emergency after hours. Dr. Gonino has given me hope when
I’ve been hopeless. In the future I plan to move back “home”,
1500 miles away, but will definitely travel back to see Dr. Gonino
as needed. Dr. Gonino and his staff treat me as a person with a
name and I am so blessed to have found them. I wanted to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of my family. We started seeing you when you first started your practice. We have seen the progress and growth of your practice. Your practice would not grow as quickly if you and your staff didn’t care about your patients the way you do. Whenever we need to make an appointment we can get in to see you. If we can not see you personally we have seen Susan. We find her very personable and caring. The staff in your office is always friendly and helpful. Mike and I are very grateful for the good health care we get in your office. After Mike’s heart surgery you showed how much you cared for your patients when they need medical care. You had asked for me to leave Mike there with you for a vitamin IV to help him back on his feet. He was not recovering as quickly as he should have until that day you gave him the vitamin IV and when I came back to get him I could see a difference it had made for Mike. Thank you again for the caring medical care we got at your office. Bobbi C. I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the benefits my son, Connor, has received since becoming a patient of the Gonino Wellness Group. Connor’s history involves chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic ear infections, acid reflux, vomiting, and many more. He was under constant doctor care and a large list of medicines. At age two, Connor became a patient and weighed 23 lbs. With the Gonino Wellness Group, we discovered multiple food allergies that Connor suffered from and the fact that he suffered from Celiac disease which resulted in his failure to thrive. After putting Connor on the special diet, he began to increase his weight for the first time in over eight months. By the end of 2005, Connor had put on 5-7 lbs. Since following the Gonino Wellness program which included chiropractic services, Conner’s medicine list has decreased from a total of eight different medications given up to four times a day down to two maintenance medications. This past year, Connor has been seen for more routine check-ups then ever before. His acid reflux is under control and we have not experienced the uncontrolled vomiting he used to suffer from. He is a beautiful, healthy, active child which I thank the entire staff of Gonino Wellness Group for being a part of his life. Cynthia D. In May 2004, I went walking and jogging on a neighborhood trail with my daughter. A few weeks later, I began to experience tremendous pain in both ankles. I had difficulty walking even a few steps. My regular M.D. ex-rayed both ankles, prescribed an inflammatory drug and reassured me that I did not have arthritis. After two rounds of the drug, the ankle pain returned. I sought out a doctor of sports medicine, his diagnosis for my pain was “tendonitis” and he prescribed the same anti-inflammatory as well as wearing an orthopedic boot for three months. The pain diminished so the anit-inflammatory was discontinued and I kicked the boot aside. Nearly a year had passed and I refused to wear that boot for the summer! The summer was punctuated with more periods of pain so I decided to phone Gonino Wellness. I’d heard great things about that medical group. I prayed that Gonino Wellness had the solution to my cycles of ankle pain, and would tell me why my ankles still hurt 15 months after one jogging episode. During my first consultation with Dr. Gonino, he quickly diagnosed my problem and identified as “candida”. I was surprised that he diagnosed it within four minutes of meeting me for the first time. He recommended immediate options to make me from “painful” to “pain free”. His recommendations were long to follow and I have learned of more natural and healthier ways to care for my body. Every single visit to Gonino Wellness leaves me feeling better each time I leave. My last visit to treat pain enabled me to feel like I could easily run in less than 24 hours! This office is one in which the staff truly desires to see you whole and healthy. Dave V. I suffered for over a decade with chronic fatigue. I was an active guy and I exercised regularly with a fairly good diet but I was unable to combat the fatigue that continued to plague me. I sought the help of several physicians who never found anything. Finally, I heard Dr. Gonino on the radio. I made an appointment immediately. After following his treatment plan I fell like a new person. No longer do I fight the chronic fatigue, and I no longer look like I’m exhausted. Things that I never expected to improve, have. My receding hairline is reversing, my knees have quit aching when I run, and my skin was soft enough that my little girls commented about it! Ronnie S. For years, both my mother and father were told that disease just happens and were led to believe that the only treatment was to take more prescription drugs. I knew that kind of thinking didn’t address the root of their physical problems. My 86 year old mother who has Alzheimer’s which was worsened by two strokes and one serious seizure began seeing Dr. Gonino a year and a half ago and we’ve witness steady improvement in her stamina and cognition. I no longer accept the conventional main stream wisdom that Alzheimer’s is a disease that has to become progressively worse. Thank God we found Dr. Gonino and his friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend the Gonino Wellness Group for anyone for anyone who wants to improve their overall health and not just medicate symptoms. Marvin S. Freda and I have been searching for a John Gonino and we found him. John listens to Freda and adjusts his treatments according to her feedback. As a result she is making steady progress (contrary to prior experiences) toward perfect health. Our specific questions are met with specific answers. He is an excellent professional. Jean R My past medical experiences include my tenure in working for a surgeon in a clinic as a registered nurse in Tallahassee, Florida. There, I saw the wonderful benefits of IV therapy. Later, I became ill and after treatment with antibiotics, I felt the need for IV therapy for my own recovery. I regained my health from receiving IV’s from a surgeon in a Wellness Clinic in Milton, Florida. When I came to Texas, I immediately began to look for a medical doctor who would provide me with complete medical treatment necessary to keep my 70 year old body functioning properly. Through some recommendations, I was led to the Gonino Wellness Group, and I have never been more pleased with a doctor or clinic in all my medical profession. I only wish that everyone could receive the benefits that I personally have received, and the miraculous benefits I have seen in others. I depend on this IV therapy routinely, and know that my health would not be the same without it. In my experience, the professionalism is superb, and the medical staff at Gonino Wellness Clinic is excellent, a tribute to the medical profession. Jim B You are, indeed a greatly man with so much conviction and compassion for your patients. We were so impressed with the manner in which you communicate with god’s love to all who enters your practice. God must look at you and say “well done my faithful servant”! You are a man of integrity for when we have great respect! All of your employees treated us as if we had known them for years. What a welcome! Yes, we really feel like part of your family. Life can’t get better than that! We love everyone! I look forward to getting to know you more and more-and …getting healed mind, body and soul. I thank you God for Dr. Gonino, because he opened all of the doors for me to come to see you. Thank you for harmony one of God's greatest commands: love the neighbor as thyself. You are wonderful! Martha R I was so excited to find that my very painful foot neuropathy could be treated by chelation therapy. On a trip to England my husband and I saw how this special therapy helped cure many serious conditions. So here I was in Rowlett, Texas at the Wellness Clinic of Dr. Gonino. I enjoyed the experience in Dr. Gonino’s office. The large staff was easy going, pleasant and professional. As I left the building on my second visit I became aware of a “somewhere else” feeling that left me very peaceful and even happy. It had nothing to do with the medical help I was receiving. The medical help was all I had wanted. However, with each visit the comforting “something else” feeling grew and lovingly assisted me. On one occasion I entered the building burdened with guilt from a bad decision I made that put family in severe financial stress. I could hardly breathe, upon leaving that day I was totally comfortable and could breathe easily. I am so grateful for this extra gift of peace. Michelle B In 1998. I saw Dr. Gonino for the first time. I was having very short periods with heavy bleeding and bad cramps. He put me on bio- identical trans-dermal progesterone and after that; my periods were regular, light and tolerable. After many years, I got off the progesterone (for reasons I still can’t remember) and eventually started having horrific periods even though I was not sexually active. I had been having my regular annuals and was fine. I also had an abdominal scan, which indicated that there was nothing out of order. Due to the dangers of birth control, my age, and my husband’s vasectomy, I got off birth control in December. My periods started to get worse and when I went in for my annual just three months later and a sonogram confirmed that I had an enlarged uterus, fibroids, and a cyst on my ovary. The gynecologist wanted to do a second sonogram in six weeks and indicated that if they got worse I would have to get a hysterectomy! I immediately went to Dr. Gonino and asked for oral bio-identical progesterone. I started taking the hormone right away and returned for my six week sonogram. After scratching their heads for a moment, the technician and the doctor indicated that I did not have any cysts or fibroids, and that they didn’t know what happened. They just went away. They told me to come back in one year. I didn’t bother to tell them about the progesterone. However, I think I will go somewhere else next year. Najiva Q. I’ve been visiting doctors and hospitals for more than four years now. They did all kinds of tests to determine the cause of the weakness I suffered from in my hands and the loss of muscle in them, from them they decided that it was ALS. I felt that I had no hope, especially when day after day I was felt like I was getting weaker and weaker. I needed help doing simple things like combing my hair, washing my hair, putting my clothes on, carrying a cup, reaching to grab something I want to buy, putting toast in a toaster, etc. I finally required help to feed myself. I was not able to do anything and at night I was feeling more cramps in my legs and hands. A friend saw me and he told my brother about alternative medicine. He even made the first appointment for me. Now after the treatments and diet I am using, I have more hope. I feel stronger. I walk for long periods of time now. I can write easier. I can do all the stuff I mentioned earlier a lot easier, and I rarely feel cramps, the shaking of my hands are less. I feel I am recovering. I am with the right people and the right treatment now. Rex R In 2005 I was taking 6 to 7 medication all for hypertension! I was really interested in finding out ways to lower my blood pressure and also down my medication if possible, the first time I saw Dr. Gonino he then threw several medications in the waste basket and put me on two new medications. The blood pressure went down some. I began to loss weight and to exercise. We are now on three medications for high blood pressure and reading at home recently was 125/60. Of course, the white coat thing usually puts me higher in the office. Dr. Gonino has a spiritual quality in his office which comes across in his gentle approach and I think this helps him with his patient’s treatments. The atmosphere in this office is unlike any I know and I just find it healing and comforting each visit. Robert M. I was taking at least one nitroglycerin tablet daily for chest pain. Since November 2003 when I started doing chelation, I have not had to take a nitroglycerin tablet. Sally C You have been taking care of me since my 62nd birthday which was six years ago. I consider you and your staff a blessing in my life! You’re completely thorough care and recommendations have prolonged and improved the golden years I have left. I have never known a more caring, dedicated doctor. You treat the whole person, not just the medical complaint. And, you amaze me with your ability to gather the finest support professionals around you. It is no wonder that your office is always full! Please know that when I come to your office, I have all the faith in the world that my care is in the best hands possible. A dear friend recommended you to me and I pass that recommendation on to those I love. I pray that you continue to serve with such exemplary medical care, kindness and devotion for many years to come! As God makes a difference in us, you and your staff have continued to make a difference in the lives of all those in your care! May god bless you abundantly. I am so proud of calling you My Doctor. Sherry J Love Heals…we’ve all picked up one of those cool stickers in the office and I hope you’ve kept it in a visibly prominent place. It’s encouraging, it’s restorative and it reminds us of what matters over absolutely everything, Love. It means so much to me as a Gonino Wellness Group patient to know that Dr. Gonino, Susan and all of the staff openly display that Love to all of us. They value our individual voices as patients, not just the predefined lab results that mainstream medicine uses to justify “one size fits all” treatment. A popular cliché in recent years has been to “treat the whole person”. Unfortunately, few in the medical community have lived up to that noble goal. Gonino Wellness Group is a beacon in the storm by realizing and practicing that simple little phrase…Love Heals! Stacey T. I saw Dr. Gonino for the first time yesterday and cannot tell you how relieved I am. He didn’t overwhelm me with information or directions (such as, “change your lifestyle immediately and thoroughly!”); he did ask unnecessary questions…he was very focused, extremely kind, and very encouraging. He had such and air of competence and confidence, without and ego or arrogance. All his staff were friendly and helpful. I feel like I am going to get real help for the first time in a long time. I appreciate all Doug Kaufmann and his team does in this field, and please let him know how grateful I am to find out about Dr. Gonino. Isn’t it sad and pathetic that we live in such a sophisticated, educated metroplex area, and yet it is nearly impossible to find doctors or other medical professionals who support alternative, holistic, integrative approaches to treating illnesses. I had already experienced that in the pediatrician world – I could only find one pediatrician who would take my girls, because I won’t get them vaccinated (my older daughter had a strange welting and coarse hair growth on her leg after receiving a round of vaccinations). Almost all pediatricians won’t take patients who avoid vaccines or try to vaccinate on a spaced out schedule (which was my original approach, ultimately confirmed by my daughter’s experience). They pretend it’s a trust issue, but the truth is, the drug industry puts this pressure on them. I would love for another Doug Kaufmann to rise up on behalf of the anti-immunization parents! Thanks again for all of your time, and best wishes in all you endeavors. Brenda W. The Gonino Wellness Group is unique. They use ways of treating patients that I have not seen elsewhere. I love that Dr. Gonino “customized” a health care plan for me. It has been amazingly effective. I am no longer losing muscle mass (I was down to 92 lbs.). The chronic fatigue and chemical sensitivities are going away, and I am continuing to get stronger and have more energy. I think the way Dr. Gonino practices medicine is model that other doctors should learn from. |
