Stram Center for Integrative Medicine

“I have been a patient at the Stram Center for just shy of a year and a half, and what has happened during that time is truly unbelievable. While I am not completely back to where I was before Lyme disease, compared to where I was when I first walked through their doors, the progress has been incredible. When I first arrived at the Stram Center, I had been completely undiagnosed and dealing with Lyme disease for over a year without knowing it. I could barely walk, had extreme difficulty speaking, terrible vision issues, and a long list of other symptoms. At the time of writing this review, all of those symptoms have improved dramatically. I am on track to living the life I had before Lyme disease. My recovery is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when. While I may not have had the most severe case the Stram Center has ever seen, I certainly have had one of the more complex and stubborn cases. Despite that, they have never stopped working to help me improve. The Stram Center is truly second to none. I have been to many medical facilities over the years, and none of them even come close. From Dr. Stram himself to the person cleaning the building after hours, every member of the staff is professional, compassionate, and dedicated. Their only goal is helping people regain their health and quality of life. You can genuinely tell the staff wants to be there. Their compassion, positivity, and professionalism are unlike anything I have ever experienced in healthcare. The staff makes every reasonable accommodation possible and truly works on a case-by-case basis to do what is best for each patient, both health-wise and financially. They understand the hardships that come with compromised health. While I wish there were more Stram Centers, I believe their current size is part of what allows them to provide such personalized and exceptional care. I also took time to read through some of the negative reviews. In my experience, many come from misunderstandings about how complex chronic illness treatment works. The Stram Center had every opportunity to take advantage of my desperation to get healthy and my willingness to do whatever it took financially, yet they consistently did what was best for me, not what would make them the most money. They were always transparent about pricing, frequently found ways to reduce costs, and helped me transition long-term treatments to home whenever possible. Lyme disease is an incredibly complex illness, and there is often disagreement between providers. None of my previous doctors agreed with my current treatment plan either — but those same doctors also could not improve my condition. I work as a firefighter, and I would not write a review like this lightly or dishonestly. No healthcare facility is perfect, and mistakes can happen anywhere. But I can confidently say the Stram Center is one of the best healthcare facilities I have ever experienced.”

“Thank God for the Stram center. It is defined by its' knowledgeable healers, thoughtful and caring staff and progressive, multi faceted care. Dr. Ron Stram is the heart and soul of this serene, beautiful healing center. Through his dedication and talented, open minded approach the center is a synthesis of Eastern, Western and alternative knowledge and wisdom. One feels seen, heard and well cared for. I don't know of any other place that provides the incredible level of healing modalities that the Stram center offers. Specializing in Lyme treatment and chronic illness, IV therapies, red light therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapies, bodywork .... it takes a wholistic approach to wellness and recovery. My family and I are most grateful for Ron and the presence of the Stram Center in our region. Sincerely, the McNamees”

“I’ve been utilizing Stram Center’s resources for about three years now with nothing but a positive experience from a friendly staff all the way up. They did a great job from the onset level setting the type of service (ex: SWT) and potential outcomes, rather than guarantee, something would definitely work. They’re great at listening to patients needs and exploring the whole picture versus your typical assembly line PCP you find this day and age.”

“Stram Center saved my husband’s life and allowed him to enjoy his grandchildren, his garden and life in general. When I first brought my husband to the clinic he was experiencing crippling symptoms from Lyme Disease. He was often bed-bound and the neurological symptoms were robbing him of experiencing life in general. The first treatment he tried made him sicker and we were desperate for answers. Dr Stram knows Lyme disease and treatment plans that work best. Dr Stram and his amazing team saw Dale as a person, not just a patient; he was concerned with Dale’s physical as well as his mental health. Shannon and her amazing team of nurses are the kindest we have ever encountered; their empathy for their patients is evident from the first meeting. The staff in all areas of the clinic are friendly as well as professional. One year later we are happy to report Dale is 90% back to his baseline and again enjoying gardening and planning future adventures. Thank you everyone.”
