Dr. Steve,

Thank you so much for helping me get ready for my race. You are the reason why I'm going home with a gold medal and American record. I seriously don't think I could have performed to my best without your help.

Sincerely,
Sheila Taormina '96 USA Swimming 4x200 Gold Medalist

Dr. Horwitz,

Closing ceremonies are this evening, wrapping up an incredible Olympic games. One of the best parts of this experience has been the U.S. Medical Staff supporting the athletes. I have never been around such a hard working, professional group of people at any event.

Thank you so much for your time and expertise - I've never felt or fought better, and I credit the great staff at the U.S. medical clinic, particularly your treatments.

Best wishes for the future,
Marisa Pedulla, 52Kg, USA Judo 1996 U.S. Olympic Team

Dear Dr. Horwitz,

I just completed a very enjoyable London Marathon, thanks largely to Dr. Horwitz. I had intense pain in my leg and knee from past marathons. Eventually, running any long distance became increasingly painful. Training became a matter of guessing when, not whether, the pain would kick in. I could no longer ignore the problem and just try to run through it. Dr. Horwitz quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem as Ilio-Tibial Band Syndrome, and began a series of treatments. I put full faith in his recommendations, and followed his instructions on icing. With these treatments and a little common sense in training, the pain subsided. Within a few weeks, I began running pain-free.

Anyone could have told me to stop running. Dr. Horwitz respected my desire to finish the marathon I had been training for, and enabled me to reach my goal. I recommend him to any athlete without reservation.

Dear Dr. Horwitz,

A word of thanks for your excellent efforts to restore some order among the tenderized tendons and tissues of my shoulder.

I feel it was fortunate to meet you and receive your able care. Even as I write I find I have to sit up straighter! So if they notice at the altar that Fr. Comber has grown a bit, it won’t be true, he just put the old ramrod in the backbone.

Your staff is a superb group. My thanks to them as well.

My prayers are with you all, and thank you for your prayers for me – that’s what we call spiritual exercise, and we recommend it frequently, daily, for about an hour.

Sincerely yours,
Rev. Thomas E. Comber, CSP
Dr. Steve,

I am still feeling great and my bowling is getting better and better. It’s amazing how much better you can do when you are not in pain and discomfort. Thanks to you, I am back on top of my game :) You are wonderful! I sing your praises all the time. You made a believer out of me:)!!

Thanks again,

Dr. Horwitz,

I went to my Orthopedic Doctor for the awful pain I had. It turned out to be a Sciatic Nerve. After seven injections into the spinal canal, X-rays, MRI's and many trips to the doctor’s office, I was told that I had '2 choices'. A back operation or stand the pain. I guess they never heard of my third choice, YOU. After 2 treatments I put my cane away and have not seen it since October 1997.

Harriet Hibbs
Dr. Horwitz,

In early spring of 1998, 1 was suffering from fairly intense back and shoulder pain. Being a hard-headed individual, I decided to ignore the pain, and to work through it, keeping up with my regular schedule of workouts and other outdoor activities, figuring that the pain would quickly pass. It did Along with the pain went about 70% of my strength on my right side. Literally, over night I was barely able to dumbbell press l5lbs. on my right side, where before the injury I was routinely putting up 85-90lbs. I was truly frightened I had never before in my life experienced any form of paralysis, which is the best way I can describe how I fell. I had no pain in my right side, but I had also lost the use of most of my triceps and pectoral muscles. I quickly found myself bounced around to several specialists, including a neuro-surgeon who told me that I must completely stop working out, for good I was also told that I should strongly consider surgery, and that things would probably get worse for me if I did not get the surgery that was needed This was an answer that I simply could not accept.

Eventually, I met Dr. Horwitz. Being an athletic person himself, he knew that telling me to stop working out was not only unnecessary, but an instruction that I would probably not follow.

Dr. Horwitz explained that I would eventually make a full recovery, if I followed his program. He outlined exactly how I could continue working out with my injury, and how we would make my recovery happen. After a few visits to Dr. Horwitz, I began to get my strength back. Along with my strength came the relief of knowing I was on the right track to a recovery. I continued following his program, and now I am very close to making a full recovery. I am excited about not only getting my strength back, but I look forward to continued workouts and improving. My strength far beyond my strength before my injury-- all without surgery!

Good morning Dr. Horwitz,

I don't expect you to remember me but I saw you because of ITBS injury after running the Marine Corp Marathon in 2006. After a few treatments with you I went from a lowly 2 miles to running in half marathons since leaving you. In browsing the webpage for the Suntrust , I noticed your name and wanted to drop you a line again to say THANKS. I will be participating in the half marathon but am proud to say I will run the Marine Corp Marathon this year.

Keep up the good work!!!!

Dear Dr. Steve,

Words could never express my appreciation for all you have done for me. With your training, there has been significant improvement in my daily life; I feel more energetic, I sleep better and I have more self-confidence. Your knowledge, kindness and professionalism have helped me in achieving my lifelong dream of becoming a professional cheerleader.

Dear Dr. Steve,

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you so much for helping my 12 yr. old son to get into shape for football season. Not only did you help him physically, but emotionally as well…you boosted his moral to a level that we have never seen…I can’t thank you enough!

Kelly Norton
Dear Jason,

When working with Jason, our time is focused and specifically tailored to meet my needs, improving function and performance. He is doing a great job coaching and motivating me towards achieving results. I am learning new techniques that I am adding to my workout routine outside of our time together as well.

Sherman Weatherspoon, Masters Track and Field
Dear Jason,

Jason explains and demonstrates everything so clearly, including explaining the reasons why it is important to move in certain ways while maintaining correct posture. He understands and accommodates people's different learning styles, such as the fact that some people such as myself need to have things written down on paper in order to later remember. He also understands the importance of encouraging people when they are doing something correctly, as well as telling people when they are doing things incorrectly. Furthermore, he is an attentive listener, when I've tried to explain to him what my body is feeling; this ability to listen is a wonderful quality which every medical professional should acquire but unfortunately, many do not.

Peggy Blair, Teacher
Dear Dr. Steve,

Over the past 5 years I have taken a variety of exercise classes, but my recent experience with kettlebells has proven a favorite. The mix of strength training with cardio provides a great workout that is challenging yet fun. I find myself learning something new each session about breathing, body mechanics, technique, etc. and the workout wears me out!
