I met Dr. Tom in downtown Summerville,Fall 2025- at a city festival. I remember passing his booth about three time. On that day, I was in a lot of pain. Walking was difficult, Dr. Tom noticed the way I was walking. Being the doubting Thomas that I am, I hesitated to listen to what he had to say about what most likely was going on with my back. However, something about his passion and knowledge for what he knew- helped intrigued me to listen further. With my daughters encouragement, I made an appointment to see Dr. Tom in his office later that week. At that point, I figured what did I have to lose? I've been in pain just about every day for the past couple of years, dealing with back issues and arthritis . After seeing a back surgeon, and cortisone shots, I was still dealing with pain everyday. Well ,here it is 3 months later, and I absolutely feel that Dr. Tom has helped me in more ways than in just walking better. His over-all approach to health, is not a one size fits all. He is real with you and tells you that you need to do your part with proper exercise and movement. In addition, watching your diet, eating healthier, and giving yourself some grace.. His office staff are kind and welcoming, Althea, at the front desk is especially welcoming. My health journey is still in progress, and it will be an everyday effort on my part, but I feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I thank Dr. Tom, and God for that. Dr. Tom continues to encourage me to keep moving, stay positive, focus on my health, and to know that our bodies are meant to be successful... with proper guidance, care, and determination.
