Testimonials for Restorative Health - Washington DC
For years I had been progressively getting sicker and sicker with allergies and sensitivities. Nothing conventional medicine offered was helping and I didn't know what to do. I had lost my job due to illness when finally a friend recommended Dr. Safayan. I felt this was my last hope.
I met with Dr. Safayan and Dr. Threlkel and feel that their integrative approach and treatment saved my life - they knew what I had and were able to help.
I did months of NAET treatments with Dr. Safayan and found that I was reacting to absolutely everything - every food, everything in the air, everything tangible. I was fatigued, had respiratory problems, hives. Now, my reactions are milder and I bounce back more quickly. Instead of putting chemicals into my body, we used acupuncture to help stimulate my body to help itself. The treatments at first seemed strange and I was a little afraid, but I found that nothing was painful and my body responded positively.
The doctors and I work together as a team. They were very dedicated, empowered and educated me, and responded to my needs. They are open to thinking of things in very creative ways. Many people have chronic issues but not everyone listens and tries to figure out what to do. Other medical people - if it's not in their box of what they know how to do, they don't have interest in it, or maybe they don't have time to address it. To have a doctor that thinks outside the box is great. I feel as if Drs. Safayan and Threlkel are always trying to learn different things and blend all kinds of treatment options.

Upon returning to the DC area, I was in search of a general practitioner who merged the best of Eastern and Western medicine. My father and grandfather both died of heart attacks in their mid-40s and I wanted to do something proactively to prevent that. I found what I was looking for at Restorative Health. Dr. Safayan monitors my heart health and I feel confident about what I am doing. He will treat you with a well-rounded approach and use different types of alternative medicinal practices that are not harsh on your body. However, when you need it, he will prescribe the best of the best of traditional medicine as well.

In the early 90's I began getting sick but was not diagnosed until several years later with fibromyalgia, and later still with chronic fatigue syndrome. I did not want to take many prescription medications but no doctor I saw knew what to do. I tried what they found on the Internet but no one had the big picture.
Searching for a doctor online, I found Dr. Safayan and liked the fact that he was an internist and did acupuncture and NAET; I liked his training. I felt this was the right person to see.
Dr. Safayan found something very early on that other doctors had missed: mercury poisoning. My kidneys, sinuses, endocrine, digestive, and adrenal systems were all compromised. We discovered how I got this and why I was so ill. They know how the organ systems all work together and the cascade effect that one system not working properly has on every other system, and how to bring them back into balance.
I trust the doctors implicitly. They always have an explanation and if they don't, they tell me what they are gong to do to try to figure it out. Both Dr. Safayan and Dr. Threlkel listen to everything I have to say in terms of work, social, and family life. He makes sure he knows everything that's going on in my life so if I'm under stress he can help. He and Dr. Threlkel really care and are very available; I was really sick and they built me up from a bad situation.
In the midst of being sick I have had a remarkable journey. Drs. Safayan and Threlkel have been with me every step of the way. Dr. Threlkel is so positive and they are both very intelligent. They have made the effort to get to know me very well and help anticipate what I need. They put one foot in front of other just as I do.
