Yours in health,
Dr. Donald DeFabio
Dear Dr. DeFabio,
Thanks for a life renewed.
Last September I sat dejectedly in my living room chair. My body was racked with pain. Ice packs were positioned on my shoulder and my limp and useless arm hung lifeless at my side. "My life is over", I thought. "There’s nothing I can do." Months later, following heavy daily doses of medically prescribed drugs, cortisone injections and physical therapy, my useless arm remained the same; so did my dismal outlook on life.
Faced with impending invasive surgery on my shoulder I sought an alternative direction for my health care. Upon the advice of a trusted friend, I visited your office. Talk about quality of life!!??
Within six short weeks of your hands-on treatments I discarded the use of pain killing drugs. In addition, I began a long needed project in my home; the painting of three rooms. Now, that’s the painting of ceiling, walls, windows, doors, wood trim and even a fireplace. What fun! I loved, yes, loved the work. I loved the activity. I loved the return to life. Thanks, Dr. DeFabio. Your manipulations, your encouragements, your stretching exercises, indeed, your chiropractic skill has brought life back into my life.
Thanks for a life renewed.
Gratefully yours,
George Decker
Dr. DeFabio,
Something you said resonated with me today...you mentioned that I have a commitment to my health. I want to let you know that was not always the case because I have had my back/neck pain for almost two years now. It's because of you and your staff that I have this commitment - - - the effectiveness of your treatment showed me how great I could feel and reminded me what it could be like to live almost pain-free.
Just want to say thanks....life's hectiness sometimes don't allow us to take the time but this was important enough.
Much appreciation.

Dear Dr. DeFabio,
I have taken much too long to write and tell you how happy I am being healthy and at full strength again! I had major surgery on my shoulder following an injury in the weight room. Three years later I was still unable to do half the weight on the bench press that I could lift prior to my injury. I had 6 months of three day a week rehab, saw several doctors, had anti inflammatory pills, had a cortisone shot, had acupuncture, went to a chiropractor, and still nothing changed. Then a friend in the weight room recommended you. From day one you were determined to try whatever method showed the most promise and results. You paid critical attention to my progress and focused on the areas that needed the most attention to become normal. Fitness and weight lifting have been a part of my life for over 20 years now. I was getting myself mentally prepared for the prospect of never being able to bench press again. Thanks to your work my mental and physical well being are sky high. I think of you often, and aggressively recommend you to all who ask. God bless you and I hope your practice prospers as it deserves to.
Thank you again,
Billy Ortman
What chiropractic means to me in one simple word is RELIEF. It helps take stress and pain away and allows me to perform my best at all times." E.B.
Dear Don,
I want to write you a note of thanks for the good work you did on me this year. As a fellow Chiropractor, I appreciate your expertise and skill. I just completed the Jersey Shore Marathon which would not have been possible without your help.
Back in February, I became hobbled by an ankle injury which kept me from running. I was able to train for three weeks, but after three of your treatments, I was running again in just a few days. Thank you again for fixing my body. Keep up the good work!

Dear Donald,
Just a word of thanks for taking such good care of me over the last few years! Best expressed as follows:
My back gets these pains, sometimes to my toes. Where it shows up next, only
God knows. But the good Dr. Don makes me better than new. As he does it for me, he can do it for you!
Aside from your medical talents, you are a caring and faith-filled man, and as such you are a blessing to me and I’m sure to all your patients.
Sincerely,
Howard Meyer
"Chiropractic has provided a means of achieving ‘maximum health,’ ‘maximum recovery" from a recent injury. On maintenance, my circulation, joints and mobility are maintained. Any stiffness, tightness or achyness from day to day stress doesn’t have a chance to develop into a problem. My recent injury received the benefit of traditional therapy, but with chiropractic as an adjunct and beyond, I continue to regain strength and mobility. Thanks, DCA." A.J.M.
Dear Donnie,
No wonder you are so successful. Taking the time to follow up with a patient; almost a lost art today. Couple that activity with your warmth, wit, caring attitude and willingness to help as you are a fellow at the top of his profession.
See you Saturday. X-ray sounds good to me.

Dear Dr. DeFabio,
Just a note to express my gratitude, I don’t know if you remember, but when I first came to you three years ago, I had been pain every single day for 13 months. I woke up in pain and it took 4 or 5 hours of pain medication and moving around before I could function properly. And then, after only 9 weeks of your care, I became completely pain free and have remained that way ever since.
You may recall that I was diagnosed with cervical arthritis about 25 years ago. I had episodes of pain five or six times a year and periodically consulted with my family physician and an orthopedic specialist. No one was able to help and I had resigned myself to always having these pain-filled episodes. Then, 4 years ago, I had an especially lengthy and painful episode which put me in pain every single day thereafter for over a year.
I was at the end of my rope when a nurse friend of mine strongly suggested I see you. And the rest, as they say, is history. Being pain-free is truly one of the most liberating experiences of my life. And it’s all thanks to you!
And, of course, now, you have helped my sister as well—who was on a fairly large dose of pain medication for the past 10 years. As you know, she was born with severe scoliosis and it was thought at one point that she would never walk. Now, she too is getting well under your ministrations – after more than 30 years of restricted activities and episodic pain.
Doctor, as you can imagine, we will ever be grateful for our caring and excellent treatment. Please call me if I can ever be of assistance to you!
Warm personal regards,
Teri Malone-Marsh

Dear Donald,
Thank you so much for everything while I was staying in Kona for Ironman. I will never forget your kindness. With your help, I could do my best. It makes one happy and satisfied and now I miss all of you, my friends. I wish I could see you again in Kona. I’ll send you some photos, so please forget me not.
Thank you,

Dear Dr. DeFabio,
Thank you—Thank you so very much. You really got to the root of the problem bothering me for years. I can feel the difference. I’m sure there will be follow-up adjustments, but the real problem has been discovered. Thank you, doctor, for your gift and talent. Real relief has come for me. God Bless you.
Fondly and Prayerfully,

"It means getting all of my body parts – not just the spine – in proper alignment. It means reducing and ultimately eliminating stress on joints by relaxing and de-stressing muscles, nerves, tendons, etc. I am very pleased with chiropractic services at this office and, coupled with a good exercise program, highly recommend this alternative medicine as a way to gaining and maintaining optimum health." M.D.R.
As the Mother of twin toddlers, I found Dr. DeFabio’s office to be nurturing and supportive. One of my twins was suffering from chronic ear infections. Countless visits to the pediatrician and prescriptions for antibiotics did nothing to help the constant reoccurrences. I turned to Dr. DeFabio for help. After several visits to Dr. DeFabio along with his nutritional guidance, my son’s chronic ear infections disappeared. I would highly recommend Dr. DeFabio to any mother who has a child that suffers from chronic ear infections.

Dear Dr. DeFabio,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for recommending me for the Manipulation Under Anesthesia program. As a result I’ve regained mobility and eliminated the pain I endured after my accident.
Being a singer and a songwriter the procedure also allowed me to get back to the performance level I had once been. Thanks again to you and your staff for making my treatment as pleasant as possible.
Sincerely,
