"Dr. Oenbrink is THE MOST CARING doctor I have ever met! I am so grateful for his counsel!"

"Dr. Oenbrink is first of all a kind, compassionate and caring person. As a doctor he relentlessly studies and researches to stay up to date with current information and best new techniques for dealing with difficult chronic complex illnesses that he treats. For me as a patient with chronic Lyme & Mold illness, Dr. Oenbrink stands out from all the other doctors I've seen in that he actually has the knowledge to deal with my problems instead of brushing them aside and ignoring them! Dr. Oenbrink is patient and understanding. He has protocols that will actually help patients with chronic complex illnesses. On top of that, "Dr. O" has a dry, quirky sense of humor that he will enthusiastically "practice" on you at each visit just to keep things on the light side. He says that laughter is the best medicine!"

"If you have given up and feel like there is no more hope after going from doctor to doctor, please read this because I was there myself. After 2 years of being ill and from doctor to doctor I was not only getting frustrated, but more sick. Every doctor I went to kept telling me there was something wrong and it was always let’s try this drug or that drug. Working in health care myself I knew enough to to listen to my instincts and know that I needed to keep searching. After going to the Mayo Clinic, I found out the root cause of my issues. However, it was after I had already returned home and had been there 3 weeks already. Mayo is great and I credit them for helping me however there are certain things even they don’t specialize in. CIRS from a water damaged building and mold exposure is one of them. Knowing what was wrong and dealing with the effects I still was sick and getting no better. Many times I had felt hopeless and like there was no help but being I have two girls and a husband at home, I was determined to get better for them. I went in a search for a specialist. Found several and made phone calls to them. After talking to Dr. Oenbrink on the phone I felt like this is where I needed to be. The knowledge and understanding he had about my condition was promising and I had to give it another try. I traveled to NC from Indiana for my appointment. I can honestly say I have never found a doctor as compassionate about his patients and their recovery. Dr. Oenbrink took the time (over 5 hours) and listened to what I have been through. Examined me and came up with a game plan. I am still in the beginning of this phase but can tell you I am certain with his help I am on my way to recovery. I have a new positive outlook on life and hope. I have worked in healthcare myself for over 7 years and have seen good and bad within our physicians but to see a physician take so much time and put the compassion into his patients and their recovery is something I have not seen very much. I have prayed and prayed for help and I know this is where God led me. Please if you are struggling like I was don’t second guess yourself. Even if it is a far travel for you it will be worth it. I wish we had more physicians who specialized in this life changing condition. I will always have issues with my health because some of the damage that is done is irreversible but I now have hope to be able to enjoy life more with my family with treatment. Thank you Dr. Oenbrink for your dedication and knowledge in this condition."
