In fact I have already recommended Dr Christopher Hogrefe to one of my friends. Dr Hogrefe sees his patients as “whole” people, not just a knee problem or muscle tear. He listens and he took my issues and lifestyle seriously enough to keep asking questions until a diagnosis became clear to him (even though I am an old woman.) I have been trying to get a satisfactory treatment ( all from NWM specialists) for almost two years without success. Even if Dr. Hogrefe is wrong this time I have no doubt that he will keep trying until he finds an answer— positive or negative. The others were done with me or passed me on to someone else as soon as their specialty was ruled out.

Dr. Hogrefe has played a pivotal role in my recovery journey following my concussion over the past six months. His expertise, patience, and compassionate care have been indispensable during this challenging period. Not only has he provided me with the necessary treatment and tools to manage my symptoms, but he has also been a constant source of support and guidance as I navigate through this process. I am currently 80% recovered and confident that with Dr. Hogrefe’s help, I will achieve full recovery in no time. Thanks to his dedication and assistance, I will soon be able to resume my regular activities and embrace life once again. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hogrefe to anyone in need of a skilled and caring healthcare provider. Thank you, Dr. Hogrefe, for everything you’ve done for me!
