Amy and her husband first started bringing their young son to see Dr. Brad at Hope Clinic years ago. Their son, at the time, had just been diagnosed with ADHD and they were looking for alternative natural health options for him.
“Our 10-year-old son has Asperger Syndrome. He had been pulling out his eyebrows and his hair. He was not sleeping through the night and had a lot of angry verbal outbursts. These things had been going on for two to three years.
We saw almost immediate results under Dr. Brad’s care.
Our son began sleeping through the night and quit pulling his hair. His attitude has improved and his reading took off.
I appreciated Dr. Brad’s understanding of the situation and his honesty about how often he really needed to see our son to get and maintain results. I would highly recommend Dr. Brad. He understands the dilemma of families like ours and is always very friendly to our son.
The results have been great and quick.”

“All my life I’ve gotten headaches, but the last 13 years they had been continuous—just to different degrees.
Dr. Brad has worked on and adjusted my neck, jaw, and cranials and given me herbal supplements. It has worked and it’s natural.
I have to drive a long way to see Dr. Brad but he’s worth it. I have far fewer headaches and there are many days I am headache free—it’s wonderful!!
I have told many people about my experience and would recommend Dr. Brad."

"I came to Hope Clinic because I was experiencing hot flashes (20-30 a day), sleeping in short bursts of 1-2 hours maximum at night, and then awakened due to hot flashes and had ceased menstruation.
I was taking a pill form of progesterone and a cream form. I was experiencing lack of memory focus. I couldn’t carry through on projects and anxiety was something that was becoming a building crescendo of rhythm in my thinking. This had started four years ago, but had increased in intensity in the last year and a half.
I had a hard time convincing my medical doctor that I was in peri-menopause, and changed doctors twice in order to be heard. I then saw a PA who specializes in women’s issues and she took my FSH levels which ended up revealing I was definitely in menopause. She put me on progesterone cream and a pill. While these helped reduce the intensity of the hot flashes the anxiety and sleeplessness were still increasing.
I really liked how Dr. Brad, Wells, and Sue worked together with homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, herb,s and nutritional supplements as well as looking at the overall wellness of my body, mind, and spirit. I also appreciated Dr. Brad’s intentional-ness of care and answering questions about “why” and “how” the parts of treatment work together. So very helpful! Gradual change to my diet, vitamins, and current regime, felt do-able with Dr. Brad’s help.
I am now sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches consistently each night. My memory is beginning to engage and be more active. My hot flashes are completely gone. I have not had one for five weeks and I’m on much less medication. Anxiety is no longer overwhelming me and infiltrating my sleep patterns.
While I highly recommend the holistic look at our bodies, it does require some work of active participation with the change of diet, juicing mixture, additional appointments with Acupuncture as well as a commitment to engage with the process.
Dr. Brad is a great partner that invited me to participate with my body on an intimate level of understanding that went beyond just treating symptoms, and into the depth of listening and interacting with my body to bring about healing in a more natural way that allowed my body to respond.
Thanks so much, Hope Clinic. I respect my body more and am aware of how I can consciously engage with listening to my body."
