What our patients say

Real experiences from our community of patients who have found healing and balance.

"As a Family Nurse Practitioner with complex medical conditions in my family, Ashley & her team have been amazing in thinking outside the box with testing & with more natural treatments for our individual medical needs. It’s well worth paying outside of insurance to get to a diagnosis & treatment that work."

"The long covid clinic has been the most helpful medical treatment I have received after seeing 15+ other doctors and specialists. I wish I'd started with the GWCIM long covid clinic instead of spending a year trying to convince other doctors that long covid is real and was ruling my life. Now with help from dr drapeau I'm seeing substantial positive change for the first time in years."

"After 6 years of CRPS (aka The Suicide Disease), I was losing all hope when my POTS doctor told me about GWCIM because no one would manage my pain. And we couldn't manage POTS without controlling pain. Ashley Drapeau is a life saver!! She recommended a battery of tests that no one else had done. Those tests identified that I had no good bacteria left in my gut due to repeated rounds of antibiotics for an infected tooth while I waited months to get in to see a dentist. That one discovery unlocked answers to other untreated issues that I've had. Since I started her regimen, I am sleeping well, my brain fog is 99% better and so is incontinence, both of which I've suffered with for years. GWCIM offers many options, and they are very thorough. I just completed my first infusion treatment this week, and am seeing more improvements. I couldn't be happier to have found GWCIM. I recommend them 1000%!!"
