Testimonials

There are not enough good words I can say about this doctor and his staff. I am a former law enforcement officer and military veteran that had been diagnosed with PTSD, TBI and chronic anxiety. This procedure was AMAZINGLY LIFE CHANGING!! I went from NEVER getting a full night’s sleep due to insomnia, or night terrors. But since I have had the procedure, I have had a good night sleep since then. Its amazing how easy the procedure was too.

The day after the SGB procedure, I was back to normal and back to work without any issue. Dr. Lynch and his staff of unsung heros are forever in my grattitude. I cannot thank him and his staff enough. You all are amazing, wonderful people!

I HAD SGB IN MARCH OF 2026. IT WAS AMAZING. DR. LYNCH is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He will completely walk you and guide you through the whole way. His staff is amazing and just as
caring and compassionate as he is. I can’t tell you the freedom that I got once the sign was administered. I felt like a sailboat going with the wind. I would stronger urge you, if you have had trauma in your life. And struggle with sleep, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. That you would consider this treatment. Because this is actual treatment.

You won’t find a more proficient and professional Doctors office. They have perfected their skills and have helped improve my life so much!!

Dr. Lynch and his whole staff are amazing to work with. Compassionate, understanding, friendly, I could go on and on. My son has a number of medical issues and we took him to see Dr. Lynch for a SGB to help with his POTS symptoms from long covid. The SGB has helped my son tremendously and the care Dr. Lynch provides is top notch. I highly recommended his office.

I recently received a Stellate Ganglion Block from Dr. Lynch for TBI, PTSD, and severe brain fog, which have all accumulated over a 25-year career in the military, and the results have been absolutely life changing.

For the first time in 20 years, I am sleeping through the night. My daily energy levels and focus have completely turned around, and my resting heart rate has dropped significantly, proving the physiological relief this treatment provides. Beyond the physical changes, it has saved my daily life and relationships – I am significantly more patient with my family and feel like myself again. If you are struggling with the compounding effects of trauma, brain injuries, or chronic brain fog, I cannot recommend Dr. Lynch and his wonderful team enough. They are highly skilled, compassionate, and will give you your life back. I should have done this much sooner.

Having post concussion symptoms for 7 years put my nervous system into fight or flight mode severely! I had exhausted many, many medical procedures and therapy for a very tight neck/headaches/severe anxiety. After being introduced to the SGB block I did further research and made the decision to take the trip to Maryland and ge the block from Dr. Lynch. He especially does a great job at what he is doing! Everything went smoothly and staff was over the top as well as Dr. Lynch! I did feel relief!

Doc Lynch made this procedure both smooth and easy to understand. He is in no hurry when he sits with you and thoroughly explains the science behind the procedure as well as his personal insights that he has gained over his years of experience. In short, he turns a little-known procedure into a comfortable conversation with a friend and the results of the procedure are eye-opening. I recommend Doc Lynch to anyone who is curious about stellate ganglion block therapy and urge you to check him out.

After suffering years undiagnosed PTSD, coping with alcohol, binge eating, and unhealthy habits Dr. Lynch was able to help me take back my life. The entire staff is amazing and shows great compassion. His military background gives him the credibility to care for the military/first responder community. Best decision I have ever made for myself and my family.

Dr. Lynch and his entire team were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating not only to me, but also to my boyfriend, who had the bilateral SGB done as well, and my best friend, who came with us to help get us back and forth after the procedures. We all felt comfortable and genuinely cared for.

After more than 22 years in the military and years of my body being accustomed to living in fight-or-flight mode, I can genuinely say this has been life changing for me. One of the biggest differences has been my anger and irritability. I still experience normal stress, frustration, and emotions, but my body doesn’t seem to get stuck there anymore. I can actually feel myself come back down instead of staying in that heightened state or getting caught in negative thought loops. My sleep has improved, my focus has improved, and overall I feel like a weight I’ve carried for a very long time has finally gotten lighter.

Dr. Lynch was knowledgeable, confident, straightforward, and professional, and he and his team made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. When you’re trusting someone to perform a procedure like this, having that level of confidence and comfort in the people taking care of you means everything. I’ve already recommended Dr. Lynch and SGB to friends who have experienced or are currently dealing with similar symptoms because of the difference I’ve experienced personally.

I’m still doing the work on myself, and I don’t look at SGB as something that magically makes every emotion or difficult situation disappear. But it has given me something I haven’t had in a very long time—the ability to experience those emotions without feeling completely controlled by them. For me, this has truly been life changing. I cannot thank Dr. Lynch and his entire team enough. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering SGB.

10 out of 10 I DO RECOMMEND!

It’s been a little over a month and no longer wake up with nightmares, or full panic attacks in the middle of the night. That’s a miracle in itself. The rest of my symptoms lessened at least 50% or more, those symptoms bring headaches, dizziness, depression, fatigue, nausea, and anxiety. I seem to have more patience and not as reactive as I’d used to be. You know it’s funny, I didn’t realize how on edge I was all the time until after having gone through this treatment.

So I live just just north of Boston, and there are 4 different locations that offer this same treatment within 20 minutes of my home. I chose to white knuckle drive 7 hours to Annapolis instead for a few reasons. First, I just thought I’d rather have this procedure done by Dr Lynch as opposed to these other providers because that’s what he specializes in, having done over 4,000 of them. And second, because after speaking to he and his team, I simply just trusted them more. Dr Lynch and his team are a wonderful group of caring professionals, and I couldn’t be any happier with my experience, and I highly recommend this treatment if you’re in the throes of PTSD/post concussion syndrome, or anxiety.

Dr Lynch is the most gentle and caring doctor that I’ve (in my 70 years) ever been to. The SGB treatment that he was able to do for me has truly reduced my anxiety and PTSD tremendously. I would strongly suggest anyone who suffers from anxiety or any other issue involving your mind go and talk to him!! I suffer from extreme nerve damage and I have all the faith that it will help to reduce my pain if not relieve it all together.

I had absolutely an amazing experience here. Not only does Dr. Lynch have such a calming energy, but the office staff is incredible. I highly recommend this practice.

I had an SGB done a month ago by Dr. Lynch and staff. This was as simple and painless as can be. Everything was well explained ahead of time, attentive post-procedure care, and periodic check-ins after. Price will be subjective to your own financial situation, but compared to other PTSD treatments I’ve done, the cost to effectiveness ratio made it well worth for me. I can’t promise how well the procedure would work for you, but it’s done more for me than every pharmaceutical solution out there. If/when I ever need another procedure, it’s a given that I’ll come here again.

Dr. Lynch is a caring doctor!! He has a very personable and calm demeanor. Dr. Lynch takes his time and thoroughly explained how the stellate ganglion block (SGB) process works and answered all questions I had. Dr. Lynch also takes his time performing the SGB procedure. This provides a very comfortable patient experience! Dr. Lynch is by far the most experienced and knowledgeable professional in the world performing the SGB procedure! I would recommend anyone needing this procedure book with Dr. Lynch!

Take all the great doctors in the world mix them together and that is James Lynch. My trama happened from a doctor so he is a miracle and all doctors should be trained on bedside manner from this man.

Dr. James Lynch and his team in Gambrills are exceptional. Going into a stellate ganglion block can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but Dr. Lynch completely put my mind at ease. He took the time to explain the entire procedure step-by-step, answered all my questions without rushing, and ensured I felt completely comfortable throughout the process. The procedure itself was surprisingly smooth and quick, thanks to his precise technique and calm bedside manner.

I lived with PTSD for years. My whole life was built around avoiding triggers and keeping my nervous system calm. Therapy, medication, and a service dog helped. SGB with Dr. Lynch changed that. Relief was immediate and has held. My brain still warns me, but now I choose what I do with it. I’m grateful to have my freedom back.

Dr. Lynch and his team were the first to make me feel truly heard after years of searching for answers following a 2022 motor vehicle accident.

I received Stellate Ganglion Block treatment for PTSD, post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, and POTS. What impressed me most was how carefully Dr. Lynch listened. He asked questions that other providers hadn’t, and because he stays current with research, he recognized signs of POTS that had gone undiagnosed for years.

The changes for me have been transformative. My anxiety is much easier to self-regulate, and my emotional responses are no longer as intense. Before treatment, even small surprises would trigger an overwhelming startle response. That has decreased significantly. I’m sleeping better and, for the first time in years, I’m not waking up in a panic every morning.

One unexpected milestone was laughing again. I hadn’t realized it had changed so drastically; I was understanding jokes instead of asking my family to explain them. Because my nervous system had chilled out, I was finally able to increase my activity level beginning post-concussion physical therapy. Counseling has felt more productive instead of weekly fight-or-flight assistance.

Every person’s experience is different, but I’m incredibly grateful for the caring staff and Dr. Lynch’s compassion, knowledge, and genuine desire to help his patients heal. Healing truly began in Dr. Lynch’s office.

Dr. Lynch and his team are truly as good as it gets. I had a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for Long COVID, POTS, dysautonomia, and PTSD, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From the moment we arrived, the entire team was kind, compassionate, and incredibly professional. They took the time to answer every question and made me feel completely at ease, relieving so much of the stress and anxiety I had about the procedure.

What meant even more to me was the care they showed my daughter when she had her procedure as well. As a parent, that level of compassion and reassurance is priceless. They treated both of us with genuine kindness and respect every step of the way.

The procedure has already made a meaningful difference for us, and I’m so grateful we found Dr. Lynch and his team. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering an SGB.

This treatment has been life changing for me. Executive function hasn’t been this good in years. SGB treatment really helped me to become more grounded, focused, and productive. Dr. Lynch has a great manner about him, and is very professional, and kind. Speaking from my experience, I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for treatment for chronic stress, anxiety, or PTSD.

How do you put into words the most life saving experience you could ever imagine. CPTSD left me a physical mess. I tried many different methods to try and make it better. Spravato, TMS, IOPs, meds, therapy. Nothing worked. Until I heard about the SGB being done by Dr. Lynch. Hearing half a dozen 1st hand experiences of the procedure and how it changed their lives, I had to try it.
From first point of contact, Dr. Lynch and his team were hands-down the most incredible people I have ever worked with. Their empathy knows no bounds and the opportunity that they are giving people is wonderful. If you could find a way to have this procedure done I highly recommend it. I’m no longer crippled by anxiety, fear and wanna fight or fly for everything. Thank you Dr. Lynch and team for giving me a new lease on Life!!

I cannot give enough praise to Dr. Lynch and his wonderful team. After experiencing a year and a half of chronic back injuries, my nervous system went into fight or flight and I was desperately looking for a way out. A friend of mine recommended the stellate ganglion block.

After hours of extensive research, I knew that Dr. Lynch was the only doctor I wanted for the procedure. His extensive experience and success rate speak volumes. Equally as important and impressive is the knowledge and passion he possesses when it comes to this procedure and perfecting his method so that it is as effective as it can possibly be.

I cannot sit in a car for more than 30 minutes, which is stretching it, but I traveled to multiple hotels to get to Dr. Lynch from Philadelphia. He and his team did not disappoint. From the time I walked through the door, naturally nervous about what was to come, his staff was warm and welcoming and went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable, the office itself is beautiful and incredibly calming and I was brought into a room where I met Dr. Lynch. He is incredibly kind, caring and just as professional and compassionate as I hoped he would be. He took his time answering all of my questions and clearly informed me of precisely what to expect during the procedure and after the procedure.

I immediately felt the sense of calm wash over me once the procedure was completed and have had major noticeable changes since then. That is saying a lot given I could barely make it through my days prior. If you are considering this procedure, I would give my highest recommendation and give it a try. I’m incredibly thankful that I did.

I was blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. James Lynch and his team for my first dual level dual sided stellar ganglion block (SGB). From the outset I was treated with the utmost respect and care from arranging the initial procedure to the follow up post procedures. I had previously received over a dozen single level single sided SGBs during my active duty career and post retirement. Initially, these types of SGBs worked well, but after time the effectiveness was not the same. After receiving my first dual level dual side with Dr. Lynch, I could immediately feel the difference in having dual levels as well as dual sides. The level of peace that came over me had never been felt to this level previously. If you are looking for an SGB for PTSD, I 100% recommend Dr. James and his team. What makes it even more special is his level of humility, being one of the pioneers of the procedure for PTSD with ongoing clinical studies to bring the procedure more attention and acceptance.

Dr. Lynch and his staff are wonderful, very caring and professional, one of the nicest doctors offices I have visited. They made the visit/procedure very comfortable and not stressful. The procedure was easy and there was time to recover. I found the sg block helpful to reduce overall anxiety and would highly recommend it to others suffering from anxiety related symptoms.

I can honestly say this experience changed my life.

From the moment I walked into Dr. Lynch’s office, I was treated like family. Every single person on the team genuinely cared about me, took the time to answer every question, and stayed with me every step of the way. I never felt like just another patient—they made me feel seen, heard, and supported throughout the entire process.

Receiving the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I know everyone’s experience can be different, but for me, it has been truly life-changing. I only wish everyone who could benefit from this treatment had the opportunity to experience it.

If you’re considering an SGB, I can’t recommend Dr. Lynch and his incredible staff enough. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication to their patients are second to none.

Thank you for changing my life. I’ll never be able to express how grateful I am for everything you’ve done.

You are in the best hands at Dr Lynchs office. Ive received the SGB a month ago and it has been life changing. The entire experience was well executed by the staff and I was approved, scheduled and seen in less than a month. The area is amazing and full of good food and shopping. Very safe environment and very welcoming office. Dr Lynch and his staff fully prepare you for thos procedure and are very accommodating and accessible. Best decision of my life was to go to Dr Lynch for the SGB. Thank you guys your friend Towbie 🧡.

If you are struggling, I would definitely recommend looking into SGB with Dr. Lynch. I saw Dr. Lynch for SGB for Long Covid issues. He, his wife Jodi, and the staff, are all phenomenal! They were very patient and understanding with my many, many questions/concerns. His staff even held my hand during my right side injections. Post SGB I noticed instant improvement in my chest pains and deep breathing issues. I’m so glad I was told about Dr. Lynch and SGB. I highly recommend his office!

I wish I knew about this service years ago! Thank you so much to Dr. Lynch, Jodi and the team.

They are all such wonderful people!

Dr Lynch is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He takes his time and truly cares about his patients. His method for the Stellate Ganglion Block is very efficient and cutting edge for optimal results. I found out when I went that he’s refined the process to maximize the effectiveness which was such a wonderful blessing. I was struggling with Long Covid, some POTS, fatigue, depression, some PSTD, and anxiety. All have improved and I am SO grateful!

My time spent with Dr. Lynch and his team filled my heart in ways I cannot fully explain. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt deeply seen and loved. Taking the step to get the SGB was one of the bravest things I have done in my healing journey, and I invite anyone to take that step too. I am grateful of my therapist, Lauren Bittner, for her support and connecting me to this opportunity. Thank you, Dr. Lynch, for the being a light in my darkness and for your unconditional care!

Dr. Lynch and his staff are absolutely the most professional group of medical providers I have ever experienced. He took his time to explain the procedure in detail and answered all questions. The procedure itself was quick and easy. The results have been life changing and I am sharing this with all I know. As a retired Army NCO I want to say thank you to Dr. Lynch for all you have done for others and myself.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience I had with Dr. Lynch and his wonderful team. I’ve never encountered such a high level of compassion and genuine care during medical treatment before. Choosing this practice for my SGB was the best decision I could have made. If you are struggling and looking for relief, I truly cannot recommend them highly enough.

Just amazing 👏. My 15 year old is recovering from POTS. 💯

Incredible Doctor. Great office setting. So very kind. Would advise trusting your care to Dr. Lynch and Jodi, and their team.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. James Lynch and his stellate ganglion block procedure. After struggling with PTSD for many, many years, I was searching for something that could actually make a difference — and Dr. Lynch delivered beyond anything I expected.

From the moment I walked in, his compassion and warmth immediately put me at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, what to expect, and how it works, so I felt informed and confident every step of the way. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines that level of genuine care with such clear, thoughtful communication.

The results have been nothing short of life-changing. The relief I’ve experienced from my PTSD symptoms has given me my life back in ways I didn’t think were possible. I feel like myself again, and have a new lease on life.

If you are struggling and have been searching for something that could make a difference, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lynch and his entire office staff. He is the real deal — a skilled, compassionate physician who truly changes lives.

Prior to SGB and Dr Lynch’s support, I struggled on a daily basis to feel my body without angst and extreme fatigue. The constant worries, stomach aches, migraines, dizziness, and body pain would actively cause me to loose focus on what my mind and breath were doing. My mind, although making great strides with effort in CBT and meditation, would reach collapse or chaos quickly. And very much felt like defeat and an undoing of all my hard work towards balance.

With SGB treatment the calm in my body has helped me open to stronger emotional sensations. Although it is still difficult at times to process anxiety, PTSD, and autonomic dysfunction (POTS) effects; I feel my body relax and reset almost immediately. No stomach aches, just noticing. No dizziness, just breathing into it. All that is left is calm, curiosity, and the understanding that I still have a lot of work to do.

One of the hardest things to practice is self-forgiveness for the trauma and triggers I have been through. SGB has opened space in my body, mind, and spirit for this life long work. 🙏🏽

I’ve never felt like a doctor would truly listen in the past until I went to Dr. Lynch. He was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns about the SGB shot, and made everything easy and relaxing as someone could. The shot itself was 1/10 for pain and fast. The results were almost immediate and truly life changing for me. If I could rate him and his staff higher I would. 100% best doctor I’ve ever had!

I had no idea what to expect. The procedure is fast an comfy. I certainly had a lot of stress and anxiety days prior to the procedure. I could feel a shift instantly, and by the end of second day I could really feel it. Night and day difference, just the reset I needed. Thank you so much!

Outstanding care from compassionate people, and a real difference-maker in resolving PTSD symptoms for both civilians like me, and military personnel.

I’ve struggled with chronic anxiety and PTSD for years, trying different medications and therapy along the way. After receiving bilateral stellate ganglion blocks, I felt relief almost immediately. For the first time, my mind stopped racing and I could truly be present in the moment. I remember noticing how blue the sky looked and how vibrant colors seemed — something I hadn’t experienced in years because my mind was always five steps ahead. This treatment has been truly life-changing, and it gives me a powerful tool as I continue working through past trauma in therapy. I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with chronic anxiety or PTSD.

In my humble opinon, Dr.James Lynch and his entire staff are amazing caretakers to their patients. All of my initial expectations were exceeded. Dr. Lynch fully explained the comprehensive nature of the SGB treatment with distinct accuracy and in laymans terms prior to the treatment.

The thoughfulness and accurate description of the procedure provided me with the highest level of confidence, erasing any looming fears. I am still in awe of the professionalism exhibited by Dr. Lynch an his assistants. From the moment I strolled into his offices, I was welcomed as if I was a long standing member of a family.

It is with the highest degree of conviction that I recommend this treatment to those seeking relief from PTSD. Thank you Dr. Lynch, Jodi, and staff. You are all rock stars!

Choosing to move forward with the SGB shot has truly been life-changing for me. The difference I have experienced — both mentally and emotionally — has been profound. For the first time in a long time, I feel a renewed sense of clarity, calm, and control.
I am incredibly grateful that this treatment exists and that it was available when I needed it most. It has given me hope, strength, and a new perspective on what healing can look like. The positive impact on my daily life has been undeniable, and I am committed to continuing this journey.
I look forward to sharing more details about how significantly this has changed my life, because others deserve to know that meaningful breakthroughs are possible.
Thank you sincerely for everything you have done. Your care and dedication have made a lasting difference in my life. Dr. Lynch you are truly a live Saver
Thanks So Much
Jim

Dr. James Lynch is such a genuine and kind person who is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about the work he does. He made me feel so comfortable and safe and really made the experience a pleasant one. Since receiving the procedure I have been able to process emotions in a way I was unable to do so before. I feel a noticeable shift in my anxiety and it has not only lessened but when I do feel anxious I feel more capable of brining myself back down. I am excited to continue to release what my body has seemed to store, to interact with the world with a greater sense of confidence and security, and continue to nurture a regulated nervous system and a grounded heart. I am so grateful to Dr. James Lynch and his amazing team, they are doing such special work.

Dr. Lynch and his entire staff were absolutely incredible throughout my SGB treatment. From the moment we walked in, I felt cared for, respected, and truly heard. The procedure itself went smoothly, and the results have been remarkable. My anxiety has decreased significantly, and I feel more grounded and steady than I have in a long time. I’m beyond grateful for the impact this treatment has had on my life. Thank you for what you do.

Life changing treatment. Entire staff is caring and friendly. Office is calm, comfortable and modern.

Wonderful, Compassionate, Professional — I highly recommend!

Dr. Lynch and his team are a gem to the community! The process was simple, streamlined and at every step of the way he offered answers, support, and a sense of comfort. Dr. Lynch gives a level of care and dignity to the process that helps you feel at ease and confident about feeling better faster. I have noticed definite differences in the experience of my anxiety and hypervigilence months later with much improvement!

Dr. Lynch and his staff are terrific. They took the time to make sure I really understood the procedure and what kinds of things to expect. Dr. Lynch is both empathetic and really skilled. I’ve gone on to recommend him to friends and family members who are dealing with anxiety or chronic stress.

This has changed my life. The professionalism, experience and skill of Dr. Lynch combined with the compassion and support of his staff make this process clear and comfortable. I advocate for this everyday.

Dr. Lynch is an exceptional physician. From the very beginning, he was warm, personable, and genuinely invested in my comfort and understanding. He took the time to explain every step of the process and answered all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed.

I underwent a bilateral procedure, and the experience was significantly more pleasant than what I had previously experienced with another doctor.

Dr. Lynch’s skill, calm presence, and attention to detail made a noticeable difference in both my comfort and confidence. In addition to a better experience overall, I noticed that the positive effects of the treatment lasted longer than with my prior provider. I truly felt cared for as a patient, not just processed through an appointment. I am very grateful for the quality of care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Lynch to anyone considering this treatment. The procedure is truly life changing.

Dr. Lynch and his team had professionalism, ease, and compassion unmatched! At every step in the process they ensure you feel comfortable and prepared. The office space is beautiful and relaxing and the quality of care is hard to get anywhere else! Months after the Stellate Ganglion Block (SBG) procedure, I have noticed a considerable difference in my anxiety and fight-or-flight response. Getting help from Dr. Lynch can really be a game changer. You are safe in his hands!

Dr. Lynch is the best in the game. I’ve been telling every veteran who will listen about the Stellate Ganglion Block since my first treatment in 2024. Life happened, and when I found Dr. Lynch at his new practice they squeezed me in right away! My 2nd treatment was just as effective as the first. Worth every penny. Dr. Lynch and the SGB absolutely saved my life. If you’re considering this treatment just go for it! Life is worth living!

The treatment performed as promised. I find that I can remain calm and present in situations that my body would usually panic in. My brain is no longer flooded with adrenaline, I don’t have racing heartbeat or shaky voice. My mind can remain clear so that I can focus on listening, communication and connection in social situations. Now I feel like I can really level up in my career and personal life since I don’t have this burden weighing on me.

Dr. Lynch is an amazing Doc who takes his time and treated me in a way that was compassionate and in a way that made me feel like I was the only patient that he was seeing that day. I cant say enough good things about my experience.

Dr Lynch and his staff are absolute professionals with a wealth of experience and a heart for helping others. Highly recommend him and his services. No complaints whatsoever.

Just wish I would have found him sooner.

Dr. Lynch has provided the best healthcare experience possible. He is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable about what he does. His clinic and team are incredibly friendly, accommodating and understanding of your personal needs. I highly encourage anybody on the fence to take that leap of faith and seek is care. He is an awesome physician, and his care and bedside manner mirror this. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend anybody who is on the fence about this treatment to take that leap of faith and seek his specialized care- His clinic and team are top notch, and have made the entire procedure extremely comforting and easy. Thank you so much for what you do!

Dr. Lynch and his team are wonderful! Mrs. Lynch made me feel like family and answered any questions or concerns I had.

The entire experience is mesmerizing. I felt like I’d known them my entire life! From start to finish the professionalism and more importantly their ability to make you feel at ease was unbelievable.

This procedure is life changing and anyone on the fence should most definitely make the leap!
You will not be disappointed at all!

Dr Lynch and his team made the entire process seamless. From my first emails and phone calls they were welcoming and knowledgeable. The procedure went as they described it would and in the days following I am feeling like a better version of myself.

These shots changed my life. In the past 2 months I’ve felt calmer, less anxious and able to focus better than I have been able to in 10+ years. It was a total reset to my nervous system. I didn’t realize how used to living in a constant anxious state I’d become! I don’t feel like the same person! Can’t recommend Dr. Lynch’s services enough.

Could not have asked for a better experience, or fir better results. Dr Lynch performed my bilateral SGB on 11/4/25 and my results were almost instant. Since then I’ve gone through and experienced many of triggers and while yes I did experience flight or fight engagement, I was in control. In every instance I was able to calm myself, stay in control, and ultimately end each experience with my mind and body back to normal. Its simply been a blessing I never thought I’d be able to experience. Thanks Doc. My family and I are eternally grateful for your care.

Ive posted my experience on tiktok for any who would like to see it. Casey@that1familyadventures.

I highly recommend Dr. Lynch for anyone considering the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). I spent a long time researching providers and wanted someone with both exceptional credentials and extensive experience. Dr. Lynch is a true pioneer in using SGB for PTSD, has performed the procedure safely for nearly 15 years, has published extensively on the topic, and holds multiple degrees from top universities. That gave me full confidence I was in the right hands.

From the moment I walked in, the staff—especially Jodi—made me feel welcome and calm. The office has a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere that immediately put me at ease.

Dr. Lynch took his time explaining everything and answering all of my questions. The procedure itself was quick, painless, and took about 15 minutes. The results were incredible—I felt relief immediately, as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. After the second injection the next day, the improvement was even more profound. It was the first time in years that I felt like myself again. Over the next few days, I had more energy, was sleeping better, and my PTSD symptoms had subsided substantially.

If you are exploring SGB for PTSD or anxiety, I cannot recommend Dr. Lynch highly enough. He is skilled, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what he does.

This treatment has been life-changing for me. The reduction in my symptoms was immediate and profound, and it’s given me momentum to keep improving my overall health. In addition to the medical results, Dr. Lynch, Jodi and the rest of the team provided world-class support at every stage of the process. The quality of their communication, empathy, professionalism and transparency are unmatched. I could not have asked for a better team, or a more positive outcome.

Dr. Lynch and his entire staff were outstanding! I have crazy medical anxiety and the atmosphere of the office and demeanor of everyone involved put me at ease. The SGB procedure itself took less than 10 minutes and was relatively pain free. I have experienced a dramatic decrease in my PTSD, anxiety and depression symptoms and am very hopeful for the long term results.

Before seeing Dr. Lynch I was experiencing severe symptoms of anxiety and PTSD. I searched for an effective solution for years and felt increasing frustration with my lack of progress. Dr. Lynch presented a specialized treatment plan, a Stellate Ganglion Block. So far, the success of this treatment has genuinely improved my quality of life. Dr. Lynch and his staff deserve a special shout out for their professionalism and care. Dr. Lynch took the time to explain the procedure in a language I could easily understand and answered all my questions.

Dr. Lynch was very helpful, explained everything well, and did an excellent job on the SGB. Thankful for his and his team’s competence and bed-side manner!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Lynch and his team. I came to him after years of living in a constant state of fight or flight from chronic PTSD and other issues. I had tried every therapy and medication available, and I truly felt like I had nowhere left to turn.

Even though my current doctor offers stellate ganglion blocks, I chose to schedule with Dr. Lynch because this is his specialty, it’s what he does every day, and his expertise shows from the moment you walk in. His team made the entire process seamless, reassuring, and incredibly supportive.

After completing the injections, I noticed a difference soon after. It felt like my body and nervous system finally received the reset they desperately needed , a true hard reboot after years of running on survival mode. The relief I’ve experienced is something I didn’t think was possible.

I am beyond grateful for Dr. Lynch’s skill, compassion, and dedication. If you are struggling and feel like you’ve exhausted all your options, I highly recommend him. This treatment gave me my life back.

Everyone at the facility is extremely kind and helpful. The whole experience is as smooth and efficient as possible. Doctor Lynch makes sure you understand the ins and outs of the procedure, and that you know what to expect following the procedure as well. This has helped me tremendously to stay at a level pace in my everyday life at home and at work. I would recommend this wholeheartedly, and I’m incredibly thankful for Doc and his whole staff.

Dr. Lynch,

You are a healer and an amazing human! To anyone thinking about getting the SGB injection I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Lynch and his team. They treated me like family and have given me hope I had lost years ago.

Thank you Dr. Lynch and your wonderful team.

SGB with Dr Lynch has been very effective. I was feeling not myself and a bit off for a number of months and I tried SGB as an alternative to medications and more invasive treatment modalities. The SGB has brought me back into balance with just a series of four injections over 2 days. I am happy to be chill again.

Dr Lynch and his staff were incredible. I feel lucky to have chosen Dr Lynch. He’s and amazing human. No pain whatsoever. We need more people like these.

Absolutely outstanding treatment and care. Doctor Lynch was the ultimate professional. Everything was explained to me before, during and after my treatment. The results have been life changing for me. Thank you so much.

Prior to the first injection Dr. Lynch referred to trauma as extra weight or rocks in your ruck, a great military analogy for the daily stress we all carry every day. He soothed my fears, gave me confidence in the procedure, explained everything to me in advance and I still wasn’t sure what to expect until it happened; the greatest singular emotional release of my life so far. I cannot express enough my gratitude for Dr. Lynch and his team.

Getting the SGB is one of the best decisions I’ve made, I really wish I hadn’t waited so long to do it. I’ve seen a significant reduction in anxiety. My patience has increased, my wife says I don’t go from zero to furious right away. Communication is becoming easier, and I am starting feel more interested in participating in family activities. I can’t thank Dr Lynch and his team enough! Absolutely life changing.

I went to Dr Lynch for SGB when my PTSD and anxiety symptoms were flaring and nothing was helping. I knew my nervous system was reactive, but it wasn’t until after SGB that I realized I’d been stuck in a stress state for most of my life. I was terrified of going to Dr Lynch as I’ve refused to see male doctors for years because of my SA trauma, but Dr Lynch was incredibly kind and respectful. He truly utilized a trauma-informed approach. Jodi and Adewunmi are equally phenomenal. Jodi offered so much support before I even scheduled the appointment, answering my questions and providing reassurance and encouragement that helped me get there. Dr Lynch, Jodi, and Adewunmi collaborated to make sure that there was always a female in the room to help me feel safe. After the SGB I felt a slowness in my nervous system that I can’t recall ever feeling. I know what calmness feels like now and I could not be more grateful! I’ve tried so many treatments and nothing has helped as much as SGB!

Dr. Lynch made this experience incredibly pleasant after experiencing YEARS of significant discomfort! I feel like a different person!

Dr. Lynch and his entire staff were absolutely amazing. Office was very calming, Dr. Lynch explained everything in great detail. It was a wonderful experience and I feel so much better since my SGB injections. Highly recommend!!!!

From start to finish, Dr. Lynch and his staff kept me well-informed, educated me on the SGB process, and were very accommodating. I will recommend Dr. Lynch and SGB to everyone trying to find a way to manage PTSD.

Dear Dr. James Lynch and Team,

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible care and expertise you provided during my SGB procedure. You have given me new life, a fresh beginning that I once thought was out of reach. From the moment I stepped into your office, your kindness, compassion, and professionalism were evident. You and your staff treated me and my wife with exceptional care and respect, guiding us through every step with clarity and understanding.

Thanks to your skill and dedication, all my symptoms have subsided. I feel like the person I was before deployment, the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders, and the mental burdens that once clouded my mind have been closed, leaving only one window open. The one focused on hope and healing!!

From the bottom of my heart and soul, I thank you. You have changed my life forever. I now look forward with confidence, free from anxiety, stress, irritability, fear, and all the negativity that once consumed me. As my daughter so beautifully said, “I have my daddy back.” I wake up each morning with a smile, ready to embrace the day, cherishing every moment rather than dreading the future.

Thank you again to you and your extraordinary team for everything. Your work is nothing short of life-changing. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE NEEDING A NEW BEGINNING FREE FROM PHARMACEUTICALS!!!!!!!

With deepest appreciation and respect,
Christopher McCallum

A huge thank you to Dr. James Lynch and his lovely wife Jodie for the free treatment they provided to over 50 soldiers in Kyiv.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lynch and his entire team. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt truly cared for and supported. I was honestly pretty nervous about having the bilateral stellate ganglion block, but Dr. Lynch took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in a way that made me feel calm and reassured.

The procedure itself was so much easier than I expected. It was quick, professional, and surprisingly comfortable. I felt like I was in expert hands every step of the way. But the best part has truly been the results. I noticed relief almost immediately, and over the following days, my symptoms continued to improve far beyond what I had hoped for. It feels like I’ve gotten a part of my life back that I didn’t think was possible.

If you’re feeling uncertain or anxious about the procedure, please know you’re not alone. I was too, but I am so grateful that I trusted Dr. Lynch and went through with it. It’s been genuinely life-changing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lynch and his team to anyone considering this treatment. Thank you for giving me hope and making such a positive difference in my life!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Lynch and his team. In terms of the SGB shot itself – I have been dealing with anxiety for most of my life, but experienced an acute episode late last year following a family crisis. I was skeptical that the shot would work for me, but shortly after receiving my second one (I did bilateral), I realized I was dreaming again for the first time in a long time (i.e., my anxiety had subsided enough to allow me to enter a deeper REM state).

Dr. Lynch himself is incredibly kind and caring, and took ample time with me to explain the procedure and answer any questions I had. Obviously most people going to see him are in a somewhat vulnerable position, and he is fully aware of this and truly wants you to feel at ease.

As Dr. Lynch himself explains, the SGB shot is a “tool in the toolbox” for managing anxiety, PTSD, etc. – and I’m grateful to have found a doctor I can trust to administer the tool should I ever need it again in the future.

I am a USMC Marine Veteran with PTSD, TBI and GAD. I was referred to Dr. Lynch by a program that recommends him to many PTSD/TBI veterans. I like to research almost everything I do thoroughly, and found many great reviews and his work in research papers.
His staff sent me video links with Dr. Lynch explaining the SGB procedure fully. I understood the procedure and understood this doctor really cares. When I had my 2 SGBs on each side, his calmness made me so confident and calm myself.

I can’t even begin to Thank Dr Lynch and his team enough. Getting the SGB shot is like getting a new lease on life. I haven’t felt this good or this kind of peace since I was a child before all my trauma. The office was very peaceful and zen while the team was friendly and welcoming. If you’re thinking about getting the SGB shot, don’t hesitate, do it! It might just save your life. Much love to Dr Lynch and his whole team. Airborne 🫡

Dr. Lynch was very kind and gentle during the procedure. He explained everything and entertained my random questions without issue. On top of his bedside manner, the treatment itself immediately began paying off for me. Highly recommend.

Simply put, the SBG with Dr. Lynch changed everything in my life for the better.
Previously I was taking 110mg. of medication every day to barely keep my head above water. Now I’ve been weaning off and am down to 10mg and in the next few weeks plan to be at 0. I feel better now than I ever have. I’ll be grateful forever. I can’t believe I tolerate feeling so poorly for so long. I wish I would’ve done this years ago.

Finding Dr. Lynch and receiving the SGB treatment was perfect timing in my healing journey. After being diagnosed with complex PTSD, I realized that I needed something deeper than just talk therapy or self awareness. I had read all the information on Dr. Lynch’s website and watched his videos and it instantly made perfect sense. The brain and body are a two-way street. When trauma has trained your body to constantly resort to panic your brain creates neural pathways to match that. Eventually, even the smallest perceived threat (often things you don’t consciously recognize) sends your brain into survival mode. What SGB does is temporarily interrupt that loop. It helps stop the constant feedback of panic signals from the body to the brain. Even if just for a little while, that pause gives your nervous system a chance to relearn and to remember that panic isn’t always needed. For me, the physical relief was almost immediate. My body finally felt quiet. I slept for 12 hours that night. I could take full, deep breaths for the first time in what felt like forever. And I could listen to music in the most relaxed way possible really focus in on all the sounds. But the emotional healing is happening gradually in layers and that’s the beauty of it. SGB gave me the stability I needed to begin doing the hard trauma work. With therapy, exposure, and support, I’ve started doing things I never thought I could do again. I’m not just surviving anymore, I’m living. I feel joy, presence, and safety in my own skin. Dr. Lynch and his team are exceptional. The entire experience felt warm, welcoming, and comforting like being with family. He brings reassurance and deep knowledge to a process that could easily feel clinical or overwhelming, but never did. If you’re stuck in survival mode or constantly battling with Cptsd, agoraphobia anxiety, panic, or dysregulation, please know there is hope. This treatment changed my life.

TLDR: Two things I loved about this whole experience — Dr. Lynch as a provider and the SGB was the most immediate, impactful, and lasting medical procedure I’ve ever had done.

First — Dr. Lynch was one of the most kind, patient, and understanding providers I’ve ever had. He is intentional with patients, listens to their concerns, and gives you as much time as you need while getting the procedure done (and after). I was NOT a huge fan of needles (especially around my neck!), but Dr. Lynch was very patient and not only made sure ALL of my questions and concerns were addressed before even setting up for the procedure, but also made sure I felt knowledgeable and confident going in. He was gentle and talked me through the SGB, so much so that I didn’t even realize he had done the second level. (I felt the tiniest pinch at the first level — way better than getting my blood drawn, and felt nothing at the second level.) After the procedure, he gave me space to process how I was feeling and took care checking in on me. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and their wellbeing.

Second — with the SGB, it took me about 5 mins to feel relief and the effects have lasted (now, months after). This is a life changing procedure. I was having some cortisol/unexplained nervous system stress, which was causing other health issues. After trying different treatment options and ruling out underlying causes with endocrinology, functional medicine, and lifestyle changes, Dr. Lynch and I discussed that the SGB might be a good option to “reset” my system, so I gave it a shot. A few minutes after the shot, I could physically feel my body and nervous system calm down. The effect was immediate and, quite frankly, emotional. The medicine only lasts a little while but the calmness has stayed now, even months later. Now I feel less stressed, I get fewer adrenaline “dumps” when something stressful does come up, and I feel like my “baseline” has been lowered. I feel like I’ve gotten my life back with this procedure and been able to heal some of my other health issues caused by stress that weren’t receptive to other forms of treatment. I can’t recommend the SGB procedure enough, especially if you work or operate in a high-stress (or even a lower-but-constant-stress) environment or are having stress-related health issues. This was one of the best things I have done for myself!

Well dr. Lynch did it again. Double SGB yesterday and i am already feeling the results. Better yet my family is which is most important to me. Thanks again Dr. Lynch , Jody and my therapist Lauren Bittner for this unbeliveable oppurtunity to feel human again.

Dr. Lynch is an amazing man and doctor. He fully explains the SGB procedure in videos before you come, he takes plenty of time to make sure you understand and know exactly how the procedure will be done. I found it interesting to see my hd ultrasound of my neck and he showed me what he was doing etc. not for everyone but I thought it was neat. He shows compassion, calmness that spreads through the room, and when I was referred to him, not that you need a referral.. That he is a world expert. I know why, and he has done so much for so many. It was a very positive experience and the follow up has been great. I know I can reach out to his office and his staff will get me answers. His staff is also incredible, the office so comfortable that my nerves about the procedure faded quickly. I have recommended him to my Marine brothers and Sisters and other veterans online. I will go back to him from Ohio to Maryland again if needed.

My experience at Doctor Lynch’s clinic was very positive. The office environment was quiet and calming. I only waited a few minutes in the lobby before being taken back. He took the time to listen to my situation and carefully explained the procedure. This was my second time getting the SGB but I appreciated the refresher on what to expect. I have been struggling with long covid symptoms since 2021; long term taste and smell distortion and fight or flight anxiety. I had improved after my first round of SGB in 2022 but had a significant stressful event this year that brought back the fight or flight hyper stressed out feelings. After the SGB this time, I felt a significant reduction in the fight or flight anxiety I was experiencing within a week after getting it. I also had even more resolution to distorted taste and smell. It improved from about 80% resolved to now closer to 95% which was such an added blessing. I will definitely consider Doctor Lynch again in the future if needed.

Dr. Lynch has given me my life back. I went from having a life-altering, debilitating condition that kept me house-bound and bedridden. Weeks later, I never thought I’d be here doing all of the things I did prior to my diagnosis. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Receiving Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) from Dr. James Lynch helped to bring back my life. I struggled with the ramifications of complex PTSD and repeat TBI/concussion for over a decade. With support from family and friends I tried many other treatments for my symptoms, however, nothing alleviated my persistent challenges with panic attacks, pervasive sadness, and fear of others. I often felt outside my body, as though my symptoms controlled my life. I was constantly on the defensive, often so afraid of others I struggled to leave my home. A year ago it felt like those symptoms would never go away and the PTSD would always rule my life. I had no hope that things could ever be different.

Going into the treatment I was cautiously optimistic given the knowledge, care, and patience of Dr Lynch’s team. Adewunmi was thorough in providing an explanation of the procedure and what to expect. Jodi followed up with me multiple times before and after the treatment to address my concerns. Dr Lynch sat with me to address all my questions before the treatment and spent time with me after the treatment to make sure I was OK. Now, a few months later, I feel as though I can “be where my feet are”. That ability to live in the present moment and do things that once brought overwhelming pain, fear, or panic is life changing. Thank you Adewunmi, Jodi, and Dr Lynch!

I’ve worked closely with Dr. Lynch as a licensed therapist and have referred many clients to him for the Stellate Ganglion Block. His expertise and bedside manner are exceptional! Dr. Lynch is compassionate, grounded and very trauma-informed. Clients consistently report feeling safe and supported with significant relief from their PTSD symptoms. Dr. Lynch and his team are outstanding and are truly are changing lives.

Dr. Lynch and his team, Jodi and Adewunmi, are the absolute best. Everything from the intake process, to setting up my appointment, to travel recommendations, answering all of my questions, their beautiful, peaceful office, and Dr. Lynch’s extraordinary bedside manner and expertise is top-notch. I felt so seen by and safe with Dr. Lynch and his team, and the SGB has helped me so much. Dr. Lynch treated me like no other doctor ever has, and I’ll always remember his compassion and empathy. I’m beyond grateful for Dr. Lynch and his team and truly believe they are angels on Earth. It’s worth mentioning that if you are traveling to see Dr. Lynch, the hotel and area around his office is great, walkable, and there are tons of restaurants and shops. I would not hesitate to get in to see Doc Lynch and get this life-changing treatment. He is simply the best.

Dr. Lynch and staff were incredibly helpful. Miracle workers, if you ask me. Everyone should know about this procedure. Dr. Lynch has the greatest bedside manner & is meticulous in his administration of SGB. I was desperate for a solution to high, uncontrollable anxiety and Dr. Lynch was the answer. Stellate ganglion block is a wise option to those suffering. It really is incredible. Thank you, Dr. Lynch!

Dr. Lynch made the process very clear and offered ample encouragement and reassurance, which was helpful given my unfamiliarity with the treatment. I appreciated the freedom to ask questions and the consideration I was shown as a patient.

When I walked in to Dr. Lynch’s office, I immediately thought I was in a spa. The atmosphere is calm and caring. The entire staff worked to ensure my visit was seamless. Everyone took the time to explain what would happen, answer any questions that I had, and talked me through every step. Dr. Lynch took as much time as I needed. I never felt rushed. I was able to ask all the questions I had. He explained things in such a manner that they were easily understood. I appreciate that Dr. Lynch has decided to provide a much needed resource to individuals who have no other options left. He is leading the charge to make changes in the medical field for the benefit of the patient, not big box pharma or insurance. Dr. Lynch and his team are as excellent as everyone says. Hopefully I will not have to go back, but I will be thrilled to stay in his care if it is needed.

After seeing Dr. Lynch and receiving a Stellate Ganglion Block, my teenage daughter who was suffering from psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), flashbacks, and nightmares (resulting from an attack) is a different kid. Immediately after the block, she stopped passing out from PNES. The flashbacks stopped too. Now she only has the occasional nightmare and they are less intense. We have seen improvements in her mood and anxiety level, and her therapists say she is finally able to open up in sessions now that her body is calmer and talk about the hard stuff. She is also off one of her medications. The results from the Stellate Ganglion Block have been more than we hoped for and were are truly grateful.

I would suggest many others to go to Dr Lynch. Ive gone to him twice now and I always leave happy and satisfied. Not only is this doctor super educated and knowledgeable, but he is also very charismatic and caring. He will treat you like he would treat his family. I have had so many good experiences from Dr. Lynch. The aesthetic of the office is gorgeous! It is very welcoming and I immediately felt relaxed. His assistant is so pretty and always has a smile on her face. Jodi (receptionist) is incredibly patient and sweet. 🙂

I want to share my experience with the stellate ganglion block (SGB) and how it has transformed my life. Before this procedure, I was living with debilitating symptoms that came from PTSD and overwhelming anxiety. Everyday tasks felt like insurmountable challenges, and I was exhausted and hopeless. A friend referred me to the Honor and Courage Foundation. After being assessed by Dr. James Lynch, we decided that an SGB would be a beneficial option for me. They say the procedure helped me regain hope in life. The injection itself was quick, and the team made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Almost immediately following the SGB, I began to notice significant changes. The constant tension and anxiety that had been weighing me down started to dissipate. It was an incredible feeling to experience relief so quickly. In the following weeks, I felt more relaxed and energized. I could enjoy moments with my family and focus on work without the looming shadows of anxiety and anger.

Dr. Lynch and his team provide a much needed option when other processes do not achieve the desired results. I have the bandwidth to live again. My body is not focused on survival, which allows me to enjoy life. My energy levels are back to normal. I am able to sleep and recover each night as the body is designed. Dr. Lynch’s office provides a professional, calm atmosphere with the goal of providing a quality of life again.

Life changing. If you’re on the fence about SGB treatment, or you’re struggling with no clear path to recovery, call Doc Lynch and his team. It’s worth the time investment for a consult, and the results you experience will help you reset to get back control of your wellness. At the risk of sounding like a late night infomercial, my only regret is that I didn’t reach out sooner. Thanks to Jim and the team for the great experience, start to finish, and the end result.

Dr. Lynch, Jody and staff are wonderful. True lifesavers. SGB was done with patience and care and a calm bedside manner. Not sure what I can say that everyone on here hasn’t already said. But, it worked just like Dr. Lynch said it would. Thank you so much, we are so so so grateful for you.

Incredible experience!
Dr. Lynch is amazing and kind and really cares about helping people heal. I definitely feel a major change and so far most symptoms have gotten significantly better.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Lynch changed my daughter’s life. We were hopeful that the Stellate Ganglion Block Dr. Lynch administers would help my teenage daughter’s PTSD symptoms. We are beyond thrilled with the results. Since getting the block, our daughter has been flashback and passing out free, and her nightmares have decreased drastically. Throughout the whole process, from the initial phone call to follow up, Dr. Lynch and his staff have been patient, kind, supportive, professional, and genuinely care about my daughter’s well-being. They’ve gotten her to a place where she can take the next steps in her healing journey, and we are truly grateful.

Dr Lynch is awesome, he provides a quality and professional service with administering SGB. For all you combat vets out there, he’s one of us. Highly recommend.

All of these 5 star reviews are 100 percent accurate, my experience with Dr. Lynch’s practice was truly exceptional. Dr. Lynch goes above and beyond to provide the best care to his patients, his office is designed to inspire peace and tranquility, and everyone who works there truly cares about each patients experience. I have seen quite a lot of doctors throughout my life, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Dr. Lynch is the best doctor I’ve ever been treated by, he truly has the best bedside manner, exceptional skills and expertise, and designed his practice with his patients comfort in mind. He truly cares, and that is a rarity in the world we live in, You are in the best of hands with Dr. Lynch, don’t hesitate to reach out to him if you are in need of his services. Many thanks to everyone at Dr. Lynch’s practice!

The overall care & attention to detail this office provides is beyond outstanding. Dr. Lynch is wonderful & I would recommend this office to anyone.

I can’t thank Dr. Lynch and his incredible team enough for the life-changing care I received during my Double Stellate Ganglion Block procedure. From the moment you walk in and see the words on the wall—‘Calm the body. Calm the mind’—you know you’re in a special place. Those words resound with me deeply because that’s exactly what they’ve done for me. Dr. Lynch, Jodi, and Adewunmi are all amazing people—not just skilled professionals, but genuinely compassionate individuals who made me feel supported every step of the way. This experience has transformed my life. I feel like I’m rediscovering the husband, father, and person I used to be. My chronic pain has decreased so much, my mind feels clear and sharp again, and I finally feel in control. Stress and agitation don’t overwhelm me anymore—I’m truly present in a way I haven’t been in so long. After the second day of the procedure, when Dr. Lynch let me rest and then asked how I was doing, my first words to him were, ‘I feel at peace.’ I’ve never uttered those words in my life before that moment, and that peace has stayed with me. This has been a complete 180 for my life, and I’m so grateful for the expertise and kindness of everyone at this practice. Thank you for giving me myself back.

Dr. Lynch is by far the best Dr. I have ever visited. He took the time to discuss the SGB procedure, including the risks and benefits, and walked me through the procedure step-by-step. The SGB was extremely successful, and my fight-or-flight responses are under control now! Dr. Lynch has added years to my life, and I am eternally grateful!

Dr. Lynch’s office was exceptional from start to finish. Jodi made everything incredibly smooth – from paperwork to helping plan my Maryland trip. The office has this amazing calm, healing energy that puts you at ease immediately. Dr. Lynch’s presence and bedside manner are outstanding. He explains everything during the procedure, making you feel completely comfortable. The SGB procedure was virtually painless, just as promised. His assistant Adewunmi is wonderful – they’re truly a caring team that treats you like family. The results have been remarkable. My nervous system regulates naturally now, which feels miraculous. My sleep has improved significantly, and my well-being has transformed. I found them through veteran recommendations and I’m incredibly grateful. For anyone considering SGB, you couldn’t be in better hands!

The SGB was incredibly beneficial to treating my anxiety and PTSD. Dr. Lynch is an outstanding provider with a phenomenal bedside manner and an extreme degree of empathy. This treatment and provider are well worth the cost. I thought I was beyond help and this dramatically helped with my quality of life and healing. I would encourage anyone in need to reach out.

Review for Dr. James Lynch and His Office Staff

I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. James Lynch and his incredible team. From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with kindness, compassion, and a level of care that truly set them apart. They immediately made me feel at ease, which was a blessing as I’ve been navigating significant anxiety and PTSD from battling cancer and other personal challenges.

Before seeing Dr. Lynch, my nervous system was constantly on high alert, and even the smallest triggers would send me into fight-or-flight mode. After undergoing the SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block), I experienced a profound sense of calm—my nervous system completely settled down, and I feel at peace for the first time in a long time.

An unexpected but welcome bonus was the return of my sense of smell after a year of losing it due to COVID. To top it off, my menopausal hot flashes are now completely gone. Another family member also received a SGB, and it has been absolutely life-changing for her in so many ways.

Dr. Lynch’s expertise and compassionate approach have truly transformed our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking care—he and his team are a gift!

GET THIS! I’ve spent a decade trying to sort myself out. Of the numerous things I’ve tried (ketamine included) this is the only thing that really made a difference. I have anxiety, PTSD, fibromyalgia, and dissociation issues. I’ll speak mostly about the 2nd two, because I think others have the first two covered. My nerve pain is better! I can hold things longer. I can actually sleep for the first time in my life. My tolerance for everything is so much better. My brain fog is better. I can write again. I WANT to do things. I’m not cured, but I’m much better.

I think the biggest thing was my dissociation problems being mostly solved. I never felt close to even my family and best friends – I barely felt like a person. Just like I was far away from my own body. Only ever felt anger or irritation. Now I can goof around again. I want to hear what my family has to say. I have NEVER been happier. I can *feel* happy!

Dr. Lynch is probably the best doctor I’ve ever worked with. And I’ve been through a few! You could not ask for a kinder, more genuine guy. The experience was really great and I felt super at-ease. The whole staff is wonderful, honestly.

PLEASE!! DO THIS!! I want to scream about it from the rooftops! Everyone should know about it! It was so life changing!

I travelled to MD from Massachusetts to do the SGB with Dr. Lynch and his team, and I am SO glad I did. Dr. Lynch has a great bedside manner and put me right at ease. It has been 5 weeks since I had the procedures (one on each side) and the results have been a game changer. My nervous system got a much needed re-set. I went from being in fight or flight most of the time to feeling like my old self. I get anxious sometimes but it never goes to a high level like it used to. I am not white knuckling to get through the day. I am enjoying my days again! Thank you so much!

Wow, wish I did this sooner! Notable improvement immediately, and fun to realize after the fact how I’ve reacted differently and in control of a stressful experience that I would otherwise react poorly to. The TLDR is if I go from 0-100 in a second I now can control my emotions better and bring myself back down where in the past that would be several days later… now it’s minutes or hours.

Dr. Lynch, again, I’m not entirely sure I will ever find the words to explain how grateful I am to have met you! It is obvious that you and your entire team care so deeply for your patients! I hope you know that you’re not just changing lives, you’re saving them!

I had an excellent experience getting two SGB procedures with Dr. Lynch on back-to-back days. He genuinely cares about his patients, and it shows. The clinic had a calming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease, which was especially helpful since my blood pressure isn’t a fan of hospitals/clinics. The SGB treatment significantly reduced the noise and anxiety in my head. The first day brought a vast improvement, and I continued to see further progress over the following days.

Dr. Lynch’s care was exceptional—he takes the time to listen to his patients and can empathize as a fellow veteran with a fascinating story and background. He was very meticulous with the procedure and took the time to explain the process and its background. He ensured I was informed every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I can honestly say that meeting him and his clinical staff on day one was the best experience I’ve ever had with a doctor & medical team. My family and I can’t thank you enough!!

I can absolutely say that going to Dr. Lynch was the best decision I have ever made for my mental health journey. (I have done years of medications, counseling, and self care with minimal results) I am a combat veteran and then a firefighter for over 20 years. I suffered from PTSD from combat for as long as I can remember along with a chosen profession that is unexplainable at times on what you see and have to do. Dr. Lynch, Jody and staff were understanding, caring, and supportive. I traveled from Florida for the treatment due to a lot of discussion with others who were in a similar situations as mine. If the need arises ever again I will make the trip again knowing I’ll be in capable hands. I trust them and the process.

Dr. Lynch is an excellent listener and great at explaining my diagnosis and treatment options. I have received multiple injections from him for various issues and he has performed each procedure with great care and skill.

My only regret is not coming to him sooner.

You have to be out of your mind if you don’t go to this physician for SGB treatment. He’s simply the very best at doing this procedure & has a bedside manner & respect for patients most md’s only dream about. It’s definitely worth the trip even if you’re not on the East Coast. As a mental health prof, he is the only provider of this treatment I will recommend to colleagues.

I recently had the privilege of receiving a Stellate Ganglion Block treatment from Dr. James Lynch, a top doctor renowned for this procedure. From the moment I stepped into his office, I was met with kindness and compassion. Dr. Lynch took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, making me feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. His staff mirrored his warmth, creating a welcoming environment in a beautifully kept office that exuded a sense of Zen.

It has now been two weeks since the procedure, and I can confidently say that it has been life-changing. I am experiencing significantly reduced anxiety and a newfound sense of peace throughout my mind and body. For years, I felt a heavy bundle of nerves in my chest, but that weight is now gone. I can finally breathe again.

After struggling with PTSD due to an extremely difficult childhood, I stumbled upon information about this treatment while listening to a discussion on YouTube. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Yesterday, I visited my parents, and despite witnessing an intense confrontation between them, I was amazed that I didn’t get triggered. I managed to stay calm and even spent an hour in their home with my husband by my side, which would have been unthinkable before the treatment.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. James Lynch for his expertise and compassionate care. His work has truly transformed my life, and I hope that more people suffering from PTSD and high anxiety hear about this incredible treatment. Thank you, Dr. Lynch, for helping me reclaim my peace of mind. I will always be thankful for your support.

As someone who has struggled an entire lifetime with complex trauma, I truly understand the way a provider treats you can greatly affect the outcome. I would not trust anyone else to do this procedure. DR. LYNCH IS PART OF THE MEDICINE… he is part life coach, inspirational guide, a powerful hope-giver, and a PTSI guru- a wealth of knowledge & experience. His words, calming presence, compassion & belief in my healing were a key piece of this procedure for me. He is an incredible doctor & human being. He’s really funny too, just a really likable dude. Long ago labeled “treatment-resistant” and having tried nearly everything, these treatments helped me in ways that nothing else has & have gotten me to a physiologically much better baseline. I have spent decades seeking help of all kinds for CPTSD- there are very few clinicians who I’d honestly say helped me improve my condition & left an indelible impression on me with their understanding and kindness. Dr. Lynch is one of them!

Most amazing Doctor. He treats you like you’re family and does whatever he can to help you. I am forever in debt to Dr. Lynch for all he’s done for me. Simply the best Doctor but a even better human!

I would highly recommend Dr. Lynch for a stellate ganglion block. It has changed my life at a very difficult time and he was so very kind and I trusted him immediately. He is a very kind and caring person and knows what he is doing. Thank you Dr. Lynch!!

Dr Lynch was phenomenal. The SGB treatment has worked wonders for my husband. He has been suffering with PTSD, anxiety, and depression for over 10 years and the weight he feels lifted off his shoulders since the treatment is amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs it. Dr Lynch was so kind and understanding and walked us through every step. I truly believe his input just added to the effectiveness of the treatment.

Not everyday can someone say they were treated by the number # 1 expert in the field. Doc Lynch has dedicated the last decade to perfecting this treatment. He walks you through the science behind the treatment as well as post-op best practices to ensure optimal results. Best of all, the entire procedure took less than 15 mins and wasn’t even mildly uncomfortable.

My results have been life changing. I now have the mental space to process emotions, reducing my overall stress and anxiety by over 2/3s. It’s so wonderful not being constantly on edge, and once again having the ability to be present and enjoy the small things!

Our experience with Dr. Lynch and the SGB procedures (duel reset-both sides) was nothing short of miraculous and has been life-changing for our family. I was dealing with long COVID myself for 16 months, our daughter has POTS and anxiety, and our other daughter has PTSD due to medical trauma. My brain fog lifted almost instantly after receiving the SGB and my symptoms have only continued to improve for the following months. Many of the long COVID symptoms disappeared by 80-90% overnight. This procedure significantly helped my daughter’s PTSD as well and our daughter with anxiety and POTS who has now been able to do so much more physical activity than before. Dr. Lynch’s compassion and excellent beside manner made us feel truly cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend the Stellate Institute-even if you have to travel like we did-it’s worth it 100%!

I cannot recommend Dr. Lynch and his team high enough. They are very professional, thorough and genuinely care about the well being of their patients, during and after your treatment. The stellate ganglion block has reduced my anxiety and panic attacks significantly. I would highly recommend getting this procedure if you are struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd and/or hyper vigilance. And Dr. Lynch is the best at it!

Dr. Lynch and his staff were amazing. I had a very positive experience and would recommend him to anyone in need of his services. Thanks for being so patient with me.

Expressing gratitude towards Dr. Lynch feels almost inadequate for the monumental transformation he has facilitated in my life. Within the span of just two days, his guidance and the SGB treatment have remarkably turned my life around for the better. For years, the severe symptoms of PTS had been an overwhelming presence in my life, but following the SGB treatment, I experienced a quiet in my mind that had been absent for over fifteen years. This newfound peace has not only enhanced my ability to fully engage with therapy but has also opened up a world where I can genuinely appreciate the joys of life. My family and I are profoundly grateful for this change. To those who find themselves struggling, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of seeking Dr. Lynch’s expertise. Your path to healing and enjoyment of life could very well begin with him.

Dr. Lynch was extremely helpful in explaining every detail of the procedure and was very patient and understanding. The SGB was completed within 8 minutes and and helped reset my wiring.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience, which entailed a two-day / back-to-back procedure. Dr. Lynch had the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever interacted with – as a patient or as a supporting role for a family member. He took significant time to ensure that I understood the procedure, was well-informed, and comforted with any concerns. He answered all my questions and was accommodating to my partner, who accompanied me both days. He was highly knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I expect out of any doctor. He also seemed to care and was passionate about his work. I wish more medical professionals displayed that sense of purpose behind what they did.

Dr. Lynch is an incredibly warm and empathic person. He spent a lot of time explaining the procedure and how it could help me with generalized anxiety and chronic PTSD. It was painless and definitely worth trying if you suffer from one of these conditions.

I am writing this review in hopes that anyone that suffers from PTSD will read it, and maybe be pointed in the direction of “hope & help”. I never in my wildest dreams imagined I could be released from the awful relentless symptoms that PTSD had caused me daily ( nightmares, sleepless nights , anxiety and uncontrollable triggers sending my body in some state of reactivity). I found Dr Lynch in Annapolis MD one day while searching through you tube for any treatment that might help me. I watched many videos by several people. After doing my research I called his office. I was greeted by a warm and caring staff. I live a 8-10 drive from this office, but I felt in my gut this trip would be worth it. It was beyond anything I could have imagined . Dr Lynch cares, and he’s doing this because of the suffering he knows PTSD causes in our daily lives, and he knows there is help for us. In short Dr Lynch was simply going to flip a switch off that is flipped on and can not turn off by itself. He spent a lot of time with me before the blocks were put in . He thoroughly explained everything. I could never had really imagined how I was going to feel afterwards. The effects were pretty immediate and profound. There are no words to describe the noise and anxiety that my brain was able to turn off. My brain finally was able to be still and softly quiet without loud crushing triggers crashing into my nervous system constantly, and the conscious mental energy that it took for me to try and hide it from everyone. I took two Stellate Ganglion Blocks, one each day. I felt so much relief right after the first one that I couldn’t believe it ❤️. If you are reading this and you have PTSD you owe yourself a peaceful mind. I would drive to his office again if needed without a second thought about it. There really is relief, and I am enjoying mine. Thank you so very much Dr Lynch you are the best !

Had the SGB done with Dr. Lynch. What a kind and professional doctor. I’m feeling much better!  Thank you so much!

My experience at The Stellate Institute was wonderful and miraculous! Dr. Lynch cared for me with compassion, understanding and patience. He is kind, understanding, thorough and he explained each step of the procedure. I got immediate results and relief and it continues today. I had no side effects only the constant smile on my face and a sense of complete peace! This treatment has given me my life back. I recommend having the SGB to anyone suffering with trauma and the effects of PTSI. Get yourself free from it and begin to live again!

I am 35 years old and have had lifelong debilitating anxiety. Additionally, I have struggled with PTSD, depression, and ADHD. I was terrified the SGB would not work. Dr. Lynch was so kind, empathetic, thorough, and cautious. I felt very comfortable and he made everything so easy. I felt relief within minutes of the first treatment and was sobbing/laughing because I had never felt so relaxed in my life. After the second treatment the next morning, I knew for a fact that my fight/flight/freeze had been switched on my entire life. I’ve never felt so much relief. I slept 8 hours for the first time in months. I no longer felt anxiety or frustration sitting in traffic. I noticed bad memories passing by as if they were clouds floating along in the sky, as opposed to cementing themselves in my mind all day, and ruining the entire day. I no longer feel a constant “threat.” I have been telling all my friends and family. I’m absolutely floored and so thrilled!

Dr. Lynch and his team at the Stellate Institute are fantastic. I would highly recommend their stellate ganglion block procedure to anyone struggling with PTSD and anxiety. The procedure was quick, painless, and immediately effective in reducing the severity of my symptoms. Paired with therapy, the block is helping me heal faster and easier. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and Dr. Lynch has the best bedside manner I’ve ever encountered with a physician. If you’re looking into getting the SGB treatment, this is 100% the practice where you should have it done. 10/10 experience!

I have never felt so great in so much weight lifted off of me in my life after this experience. I have only heard about the stellate ganglion block a few times in over the last few years. I have had the shot once before this visit with Dr Lynch but didn’t go so well. Then through a great non profit organization to help get me the right doctor like Doctor Lynch who has spend years and years of research to hell figure out the number one question and fix the problem most veterans have with PTSD and I believe he has truly found the answer with the stellate ganglion block! A true hero for every veteran dealing with the biggest problem like PTSD! Highly recommend for this with emotional problems.

I have a long medical history and I have never had a doctor with such amazing bedside manners. I was so apprehensive and scared to go and seek treatment, but Dr. Lynch put me at ease. As for the results, after a few days I noticed a huge difference in my mood. I no longer felt like I was in survival mode. If you are thinking of getting this treatment, this is your sign to go through with it.

How wonderful to be under the care of a doctor who understands my condition, takes the time to listen well, explains thoroughly, and is willing to make accommodations for my particular needs. Doc Lynch’s knowledge, experience, and affect are a triple win!

My experience at Dr. Lynch’s office was nothing short of transformative. I embarked on this journey from my home in Canada as an angry, scared, resentful, and anxious individual, grappling with PTSI. Dr. Lynch played a pivotal role in guiding me towards a profound positive change. From our initial meeting, Dr. Lynch exhibited patience and kindness, taking the time to explain every aspect of the process in a clear and concise manner. His approach instilled a sense of comfort and reassurance, making me feel genuinely supported throughout my time under his care. Notably, I never felt rushed, even in the post-treatment phase, which contributed significantly to my overall experience. The procedure itself was meticulously explained, detailing each stage, and unfolded exactly as Dr. Lynch had outlined. This predictability, combined with his thorough explanations, further enhanced my confidence in the process. I left Dr. Lynch’s office a better version of myself!

The second I walked in I was greeted warmly by the welcoming receptionists, along with soothing music to calm my nerves. It was such a safe and comfortable place! The environment was very calming, and it felt more like a safe place then a doctors office. Dr. Lynch was very well educated and had answers to all of my questions. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is in need for a life changing experience.

First rate Doctor/Human and first rate procedure. I couldn’t be happier with getting SGB. Changed my demeanor in so many ways. Best of all, I’m now I’m “totally chill”. It’s really quite amazing. Thanks Doc.

Dr. James Lynch MD. Provided great care and medical treatment for my symptoms! His entire Staff played a Big role in providing the Best treatment I could receive as a patient! 5 stars . I came in with many thoughts and doubts of broken Hope. I left feeling tremendous and amazed with a renewed feeling of euphoria and energy! My aches and pains were vanished! The Dr. had given me a Breath of fresh air in LIFE!

Very simple procedure. SGB. Nothing to be afraid of.  I didn’t hurt at all. And dr Lynch quietly talked with me before the procedure which helped a lot. He gave a list of ideas to do after the procedure. I found it very important to make some changes. Like drinking half decaf with half regular.
It is changing my life. I hope this helps.

I had a life changing experience working with Dr. Lynch and his team. The procedure was simple and Dr. Lynch explained everything that would happen before, during, and after. There were no surprises and he was patient and considerate the entire time. If you are struggling with the effects of trauma I highly recommend reaching out and seeing what help Dr. Lynch can offer. I haven’t felt this relaxed in over a decade. It’s an incredible feeling.

From start to finish, Dr. Lynch was great. He thoroughly explained the process, patiently answered all questions, walked me through each step as he was conducting the procedure, and took great care in keeping me comfortable. Overall, I’m happy with the experience and would highly recommend Dr. Lynch.

Dr. Lynch is truly an expert in this field of treatment; the stellate ganglion block is an absolute game-changer. I cannot think of anyone who would not benefit from this procedure – especially those most in need. His ‘bedside manner’ is impeccable and his team is top-notch. My loved ones are so happy I’ve taken the steps to improve my mental health. They see a vast improvement in me, and I feel better than I considered possible. If you are considering this procedure, or you have a loved one who you think could benefit, I strongly urge you to reach out to ROSM. I cannot thank you enough, Doctor!

Dr. Lynch is the premier and trusted resource for SGB. He is the ultimate care provider, openly sharing his extensive research and dedication with his patients. The opportunity to have one medical voice guiding the SGB process has been an essential component of this healing gift. I continue to make great strides with my health, coupled with Dr. Lynch’s continued guidance. SGB is in the top five best experiences in my life.  Grateful to know Dr. Lynch.

I saw Dr. Lynch a few weeks ago for my stress injuries and pain contributed to 12 years serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. I was getting to a point of desperation and feeling like I was defeated by my chronic pain/CRPS and mental anguish. He came highly recommended by my wife and brother who were both received SGB in July. The ROSM team is with out a doubt the most patient and personable group of people I have ever had the pleasure and privilege of meeting. When I arrived for my first needle, I was anxious and terrified. I have issues with being in doctor offices and a big mistrust with medical procedures. Right away I was greeted with a warm and comforting welcome. In the treatment room Dr. Lynch took the time to carefully explain every step of the process. His overall demeanor was calm and relaxed, he had a great sense of humor. This treatment is virtually painless even though the after effect are pretty intimidating. I entered the room feeling like I was engulfed in flames and within five minutes of receiving the first block there was almost an instant calming effect. My head quieted down, my body cooled and I wasn’t hurting. I was able to pin point the first coherent thought I’ve had in about twelve years. I was worried that I would be imprisoned in my head for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for this treatment, for Dr Lynch’s commitment to bringing this procedure to the forefront, they are both godsends. I plead with you, if you are reading this and thinking about getting the treatment please do it… please. We have lost to many people to mental health crisis and pain. This treatment works and will give you the space in your head to understand what your body and mind needs. Please reach out to the ROSM team and get the help. Even if you read the reviews and pass this information along there is an opportunity to save someone life and potentially help control this pain and suffering. Please look into this treatment, you are worth a life free from this prison! Also on a side note Mrs. Heather is a delight.

Dr. Lynch is an exceptionally compassionate and caring doctor. The SGB treatment I received for PTSD 2 years ago and again recently saved my life. He is extremely skilled and will take excellent care of you!

Ten years ago, I was assaulted and thought I might not survive. Since this happened, I’ve struggled with hypervigilance, panic and intrusive thoughts/memories that made life very difficult. I blamed myself for not being able to stop these symptoms, but since immediately following my SGB treatment, every one of them has dramatically improved. My baseline is not one of panic now. If the panicked feeling does start to arise, I am able to let it go in the way that I thought always seemed to work for “normal” people, but didn’t for me: taking a few breaths, reframing the thought, etc. I’ve tried so many other things, for so long, and it feels like a miracle that this quick, easy procedure made such a difference when nothing else had.
When I read the patient comments on this website before pursuing SGB, I thought it sounded almost too good to be true. But as it turns out, no words can really capture how transformational SGB was for me, and none can fully express the way Dr. Lynch just shines with intelligence, skill, compassion, warm humor and the grace of a true healer. He was so thorough and sensitive in his explanation about why SGB works and what he’d be doing during the procedure. He made me feel safe. I am profoundly grateful to Heather and the wonderful team at ROSM for their care and support through this process, and to Dr. Lynch for his pioneering research and advocacy that brought SGB and hope into my life.

When I was 9 years old I had a few different experiences in that were mind numbingly traumatic. Those experienced I carried in my soul all through my teenage years and through my 20’s into my early 30’s. I just received my 2nd shot and the inner peace I feel I cant find words to describe it. Its not overwhelming, its not anything like you’ll expect especially if you’ve been fighting the anxiety monster such as me. It just is, this feeling of being comfortable in my own skin again, being in synchronization with my mind, body and spirit. This is what the human experience is supposed to be, not a constant game of wrestling your inner demons to see who will win the fight this time, or living in a mind state of scarcity, fear and lack of. Don’t take my word for it, the gates to the kingdom of you’re personal heaven are right on the other side of Dr. James Lynch’s ultrasound machine and needle. If you’re serious, Do yourself a favor. You wont regret it.

After years of suffering I was finally diagnosed with CPTSD on July 28th 2022. After a traumatic incident in my personal life and working professionally as a Paramedic. July 14th 2023 I received a right sided Stellate Ganglion Block. An injection of a long lasting local anesthetic.
Within 10 minutes of this treatment I went from feeling like every single nerve fiber in my body was short circuiting, to complete calm. Silence. Suddenly I had space in my head. The following day, I received the left sided block. It has only got better! To anyone and everyone who hasn’t shared their struggle, to anyone who loves someone with this cruel injury. I NEED you to know, PTSD is curable! Your physiology has been altered, these changes are invisible! Your brain pathways have been rewired! Researchers have even found a biomarker that can identify the body’s response to a traumatic incident which will lead to a preventative measure. But for now… we will work with the aftermath. If you had a broken leg, you’d go have surgery. This is no different! Within 10 minutes I felt a physical and emotional release – tears flowed I was so happy, I genuinely felt free! The tension in my body faded, my brain fog faded and I couldn’t wipe the giddy smile off my face even if I tried. It’s almost been over a month, I’ve stumbled across multiple things and people that would normally trigger me… sending me into a tailspin which could have last days. Instead… it was a small blip on my radar. I was able to acknowledge it and continue about my day. I feel like my kids and husband of 11 years met the real me for the very first time. I’ve had multiple nights without nightmares, I have been able to stay present in my day. The volume of the world was turned down, suddenly I am no longer consumed by my injuries! I am excited have the space to make some real progress in my healing journey!
Dr. Lynch and your team – I don’t believe I will ever be able to put into words the tremendous relief you have given me. How incredibly thankful I am to have you on my support team. Every interaction my family has had with your clinic was stress free and so very genuine! It is obvious you are following your heart and doing work that you truly believe in! I full heartedly believe this treatment is not only changing lives but saving lives! Every single one of you deserves to be free of your pain! It is worth the try, I assure you! You are not alone in this fight! Please, please look into it! You are worth it!

This experience was absolutely life changing. I hadn’t realized how much PTSD had changed my mind and body until getting the SBG. It felt like being calm for the first time in my entire life. It took me a few days to adjust to the new, quiet feeling. I’ve noticed therapy, meditation etc. are easier to focus on now. I’m so thrilled with this outcome, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found the Stellate Institute. I can’t say thank you enough to Dr. Lynch, and I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from a PTSI.

I tried therapy, CBD oil, antidepressants, TMS, and ketamine infusions for my anxiety/depression/ptsd and I can say with absolute certainty that the SGB has been the most effective by a clear mile. If you want to get the SGB treatment from the best of the best this is the place to go to.

If you are reading this, you know that PTSD is debilitating for the individual and their families. My son, a Canadian veteran military firefighter, and my daughter-in-law, a former paramedic, have been struggling with PTSD for many years. Watching them fight everyday to live with PTSD and manage their symptoms is just plain tough. Despite ongoing therapy, PTSD was winning the battle with my son as he was dangerously close to giving up on life. Not wanting to accept this as an option, I started searching for other forms of treatments to help him and found the Stellate Institute and information on the stellate ganglion blocks (SGB). In contacting them I found no barriers to treatment, just solutions, and the most compassionate care and service provided by Dr Lynch and his team. Dr Lynch took the time to explain the procedure, to listen, and his calm demeanor settled and reassured everyone that there was HOPE! My son and daughter-in-law were both successfully treated with a right and left SGB, which substantively reduced their PTSD symptoms. For example, irritability decreased, concentration improved, their brains slowed down, and they experienced a sense of inner calm and peace. After the procedure they asked if this is what normal felt like! Words cannot express how GRATEFUL our family is for the service and genuine care provided at the Stellate Institute. Although the relief they both now experience is long overdue, their experience indicates to me that SGB is, and must become an integral component of the treatment plan for healing PTSD trauma injuries. If you know someone who is struggling with PTSD, spread the word and tell them to reach out to Stellate Institute soonest as they are doing life changing and life saving work!

I came to the Institute with PTSD, plus high anxiety and depression for 35 years. While I didn’t jump off the table and go skipping down the hallway (let’s be realistic, no treatment is going to give you that) I’m here to tell you that the treatments are backed by science and that they DO WORK! This is not a cure, but rather a cease of almost all of your symptoms. I’m a military veteran. I can tell you that I was scared to death of this treatment. Scared that it wouldn’t work. Scared to DEATH to actually have hope. Scared of losing my disability benefits (which you won’t become the VA does NOT recognize this as an actual treatment, they’d rather pump you full of pills instead. Dumb, right? But TRUE!) My doctor was Dr James Lynch, who by the way, is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met! He’s a veteran himself, so he’s not new or unfamiliar with PTSD. That’s why he wanted to be in a position to help people with PTSD. His partner Dr Sean Mulvaney’s story is similar. Both men are outstanding examples of what our country needs more of.

The freedom I feel after receiving the SGB injections to treat my PTSD is indescribable! I’m almost two weeks post treatment & I am anxiety free, night terror free, not consumed with unbearable grief any longer & I’m starting to truly enjoy this incredibly blessed life I’ve been given again! I finally believe in that four letter word, hope – FOREVER GRATEFUL!

I have not felt this calm and cheery in years! I had the best sleep last night, I enjoyed a wonderful dinner without agitation! I felt like my level self again. List of instant relief:

• Headaches gone
• Heart palpitations gone
• Irritation gone
• Chest tightness gone
• Anxiety manageable without the body reacting
• Concentration (actually read and retained a chapter)
• Hyper vigilant much less
• Angry outburst none
• Mental clarity back

What a life changing procedure, “Doc” I am l grateful to have met you and have this done! Your team Heather and Natia for getting me through this be sure to send my thanks. Life changing work you are doing here, the right side hit me but not nearly as well as the left.
Thank you for trusting your passion and going through with it.

I was skeptical while doing my research because I couldn’t imagine how such a simple procedure could actually help me but it did more than I could have hoped. My thoughts are so much clearer now, like the fog is gone. I feel life around me like I am actually a part of it again. Most important, I feel like I can breathe in public again. I’m still me and I still have emotions and responses, it’s just they are appropriate to the situation. I can’t imagine how different the last 12 years might have been if I had this option sooner or knew about it. Unbelievable to me, the amount of treatment I have been through previously and no one ever recommended SGB. DR. Lynch was awesome, I was comfortable and informed at every step and was done in 30 minutes. I don’t know if it’s a combination of me having both sides done or if I was just more susceptible to the left side block but I had a more significant result after the left side block was done. I walked out of the office and felt the sun on my face for the first time in years. If you’re are struggling…do it! Nothing but upside.

I had the SGB treatment due to childhood trauma that followed me to my adulthood. My trauma was the first thing I thought about in the morning and the last thing I thought about at the end of the day. It was always holding me back from living a full life I knew I deserved. After having the SGB treatment with Dr. Lynch I finally feel like my 5 year old self is safe for the first time in 35 years. My trauma is still there but after the SGB it is tucked away in a box in my mind and it sits far in the back. The SGB gave me a whole new outlook on life. I instantly became a better version of myself and that made me a even better Mom to my children. Dr. Lynch was simply amazing. He treated me like I was his family and I truly appreciated that. I am forever in debt to Dr. Lynch for what he not only gave me but for what he also took away. I can not thank him enough from the deepest parts of my heart.

I am writing this after my second shot on the left side and it’s hard to put into words how good I’m feeling right now. The initial right side provided some relief but the left side was amazing. I feel truly calm in my mind and body for the first time in a very long time. Everything about the experience was phenomenal from the pre screening to the actual procedure itself Dr. Lynch is truly a one of a kind doctor. If you are struggling from PTSD/PTSI, anxiety, Elevated stress levels etc… please do not wait for things to get worse.

I waited a while to see if it worked out and it has helped with my overthinking. I would highly recommend this to anyone who suffers from PTSD. Everyone in the office is really awesome and welcoming as well. Thanks for everything.

Doc had the BEST bedside manner with top notch professionalism. His understanding of patient concerns and his ability to explain everything in a way that it was easiest for me as the patient to understand. It was an explanation of how the procedure came about along with what to expect during and afterwards. The real benefits that I experienced immediately to help unload my body and mind as a first responder dealing with the trauma, stress, depression, and anxiety after years on the job. Any first responder that deals with this daily do not be afraid to try. The stigma and fear that prevents us from talking, reaching out, or asking for help dealing with the toll it takes on our mind and body slowly leads our lives into solitude and misery. You owe it to yourself, family, friends, and partners to reach out and take your life back to be the best version of yourself!

My name is Beth Botak in January 2021. I developed Covid. I had a fairly mild case, and two weeks later started developing persistent brain fog, dizziness, balance, issues, anxiety, shortness of breath, vision issues. The worst for me was feeling like I was never a part of my body. I found out about the stellate ganglion block, and that they were having some luck helping people with long Covid. I received the block a little over a week ago and I had to say my brain fog has completely lifted, I have more energy, balance and dizziness is slightly better and anxiety has improved. Now onto the best part it was a fabulous experience. The stellate Institute was amazing. Dr. Lynch performed my block and he stayed with me the entire time he was 100% invested into how I was feeling and what he could do to help anyone that is reading this knows that is unusual today. If you are suffering with Covid long haulers, check out the stellate ganglion block. It is worth a trip to Annapolis to work with these doctors. I am forever grateful.

I am a forty year veteran and retired Warrant Officer from the US Army and having been fighting depression and anxiety since about 1996. I was assigned at the Pentagon in Washington DC for about 32 years of a 40 year career. I was there at the Pentagon on September 11th and where the plane crashed was where I supposed to be in meeting all in the meeting died and I was 10 minutes late for the meeting. All this over all these years made my depression and anxiety go to the max. I have tried 25 different kinds of medication, I have tried TMS, Hypnosis, just about anything to relieve the thoughts in my head. Until I came to the Stellate Institute and Dr Lynch I did not think there was ever going to be any relief. I was wrong, after i got the Ganglion Block all the thoughts are gone the depression is gone and the anxiety is so low I don’t even know its there most of the time. This procedure saved my life and I thank Dr Lynch everyday for my new life.

I feel compelled to share. I’m hoping someone like me reads this and benefits, as I have, from SGB. TLDR: My anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, reactivity, brain fog, and “monkey brain”, and even ADHD went from “nearly every day” to “a few days a month”. (From 30 days to 5 ish.) > 50+ yo executive, non-veteran, w/ childhood trauma, Dissociative Identity Disorder (diagnosed in my 50’s). Stuck. My brain was agitated and anxious and now it’s calm, and clear (most of the time). I still feel stress and get ‘triggered’; it’s just less often. A lot less often. I also get unstuck faster. If I got stressed at something 10 times before SGB, now it’s 2 or 3 times. Though now and then I’ll react too strongly, it’s less frequent, and less strong. Therapy really helped me — and I feel SGB has helped make it easier for me to change. A fresh start. Lastly, I liked the way Dr. Lynch hits 2 spots on SGB. Great experience with this fantastic physician.

I saw Dr. Lynch for help with post-covid neuro issues, headaches, dizziness, etc. I’d previously seen a pain management doctor to get a stellate ganglion block, not without success, but Dr. Lynch was incredibly more experienced and knowledgeable. Dr. Lynch’s overall process was top-notch, implementing an advanced technique, the injections didn’t hurt a bit, and it was very effective. I wish I’d seen him sooner, I’m so much better now, worth every penny.

Dr. Lynch was terrific. He took the time to explain everything in great detail; more importantly, he listened carefully. He was also incredibly careful during the procedures, which produced no pain at all and which yielded immediate benefit. Overall, an outstanding experience. Highly recommended!

Dr. Lynch has exceptional bedside manner. His professionalism is unmatched. Going in for a treatment like this; we all have a reason- and he understands that. He is friendly, kind, gentle, and thoughtful in every interaction with patients.  His entire team is friendly and welcoming. They use a perfect balance of protecting their team from secondary trauma or over sharing with the genuine approach of caring for patients. It’s a safe place to seek help without the expectation of someone digging too deep in a way that harmful. They assess for the required things and then kindly guide you through the process towards healing through a SGB.  I openly discuss my experience with others who can benefit from the treatment. Many receive them at a VA clinic, however I’ve found the differences in the approach taken by Dr. Lynch has proved my results to be greater than those who has received treatment elsewhere.

He was so kind, very informative, and took his time to make sure I was completely comfortable and all of my questions were answered. I was nervous going into the procedure but it was really painless and quick.

Dr Lynch was a true professional and care giver. All my questions were answered and any and all heads up were provided before, during and after the procedure. My nervousness was eased with his process. I didn’t feel like there was a time hack like with most doctors you visit.

The care and time that Dr. Lynch and his staff gave to me were life changing. I was in the worst mental pain I had ever been in and was on the edge of darkness. With the assistance of my psychologist and the dignity and respect that was given to me through Dr. Lynch’s team, I was open to getting the SGB procedure, and it was life changing. Before I left the room I was in, I could feel years of torment and anxiety lifted that had been weighing against my shoulders due to combat related trauma. I could finally think clearly again and was able to process things without going down unhealthy rabbit holes. My anxiety and depression were decreased by a good 90% (yes, it works this well). I am able to differentiate between a trigger at home and what my body used to feel like in combat). I am now able to process the things that triggered me with logic and reason, which has helped me quickly regulate my body’s response. I’m happier, I sleep better, I want to exercise again, I am able to love.

I have dealt with PTSD and severe anxiety disorder for 20 years. The trauma I endured and never could speak of had me at a complete loss of who I was anymore. I chose to do both sides for the best overall outcome. When I walked in the second day, Dr. Lynch could not believe what a drastic change one day had made. Extremely difficult, but I was determined to see the next day through. It has changed my life and I am forever indebted to Dr. Lynch. I pray more people become aware of this procedure.

Dr. Lynch is probably one of the best doctors I have seen in any discipline. He really cares about his work and his patients and took a lot of time to make sure I understood the procedure and walk me through the steps. Just great all around. The procedure itself? I was hoping the SGB would help me a bit hopefully, but it really seems to be working wonders so far, so much more than I expected or even hoped. I have tried so many forms of therapy and medication over so many decades I thought there would be no real help with my PTSD symptoms, but what a difference this has made. I really feel like I can take some real steps forward now. Thank you so much Dr. Lynch and everyone at the Stellate Institute. I’m glad I took a chance!

I had read about this procedure for a couple years. I had spoken to a few people that had the procedure and watched interviews. I didn’t quite believe that it would have the effect that it did. I was in tears to feel the weight of the stress of tense muscle and the on guard feeling to fade. This works. If you have the chance to have this procedure done, do it. It doesn’t hurt, it’s like a pinch a few minutes and you are done. I felt it within minutes. You can start again with a new day and find out what its like to live, love, and laugh and not have to wear a “mask” anymore. Trust in it. I would speak to every Vet out there that struggles with demons and look them in the eye and say, You can be alive again.

Doc Lynch took his time to fully explain to my wife and me what we were going to do, why, and how. There are a few ways to do this procedure and doc uses an ultrasound to ensure he had a great understanding of my anatomy. The SGB has shown great results and is helping me deal with my PTSD.

This procedure was a game changer. My numbers were 76/80 and are now 27/80 one week out. Dr. Lynch was the best. If you want to improve your life please have the S.G.B.

Although I was nervous about the SGB procedure, I was excited too. I was finally going to get relief from feeling anxious and overwhelmed all the time. Dr. Lynch put me at ease. He provided clear expectations, answered my questions, and ensured I was comfortable during and after the SGB. I’m thankful for Dr. Lynch and the SGB. After years of debilitating anxiety, I finally feel like I can cope. 100% worth it!

Gracias a la genial experiencia medica y habilidades del Doctor Lynch, mis sintomas de Estress Post Traumatico (PTSD) desaparecieron. Recomiendo enormemente el procedimiento SGB para pacientes con PTSD, es rapido, seguro y efectivo.
Thanks to the amazing care and technique by Doctor Lynch, my symptoms of PTSD have gone away. I am incredibly grateful to have found him. I greatly recommend the SGB procedure for patients with PTSD, it is quick and safe and very effective.

I was nervous and somewhat reluctant to have the SGB treatment. I shared this with Dr. Lynch who listened, didn’t judge, and offered his support. He took his time, explained everything thoroughly and helped me get through the procedure easily and comfortably. The atmosphere was relaxing and spa-like. In the end, I really enjoyed the process. And post-treatment, I believe the best is yet to come. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and SGB treatment.

Dr. Lynch is a thorough, knowledgeable, and caring doctor. He genuinely cares about your welfare, and I was very touched by a follow-up phone call he made to me when I was in a dark spot. Our mental health is so important, and while we can’t always know which way is up when we’re down and out, we remember the people who cared. Dr. Lynch cares.

Dr. Lynch is thorough, experienced and caring. He really listens to understand. He strives to make your experience exceptional. He is genuinely passionate about healing PTSD and it shows in the quality care he provides.

Dr Lynch performed a SGB on me for long covid. I had very little taste and smell from covid for 11 months. What I could taste or smell was distorted. I traveled over 3 hours one way to Dr Lynch. The entire process was very easy. All my paperwork was done prior to my appointment with his great office staff. The procedure was explained thoroughly, competently and compassionately. Dr Lynch took great care talking me through the injection. I have my taste and smell back. So many people are suffering with this and Dr Lynch has made me whole again. I can’t thank him enough. I would give him and his incredible staff 1000 stars.

Dr, Lynch was so kind and explained everything to my husband and I and put me at ease. I really could tell he cares and only wants to help people. I felt reassured and comfortable with how everything went. It has helped me tremendously. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and trying the block.

As a veteran with PTSD I can not begin to describe how Dr. Lynch changed my life. He sat and talked with me not just about the procedure but also just about me. He shared stories and made me feel like a person and not just a patient. The SGB has truly helped me feel normal again. Something I never thought was possible. Now I am taking this opportunity to help myself long term and begin a road to recovery I never thought would be possible. Thank you Dr. Lynch I can not begin to tell you how thankful I am for you.

As a desert storm veteran with 13 years of service ending in a medical discharge, I’ve been dealing with PTSD for 30 years. My daughter mentioned the SGB “shot” and did all the research, set up the appt and everything. My wife and I have been married 38 years, and were skeptical of this procedure working. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner and i am SO glad i did it! I am so grateful for Dr. Lynch and the true care and passion he has in helping veterans get their life back. I honestly cant explain how clear my head feels and how good i sleep now. Thank you again for everything Dr. Lynch from myself and my family.

Dr. Lynch had my complete trust upon meeting him and his ability to explain the procedure. He put me at ease with his experience and knowledge. He has been an advocate of the SGB for over 10 years and wants the benefits for everyone. I was afraid of doctors and needles. Again, he had my complete trust. As for the needles, I did not need any local anesthetic and I barely felt it. My world is forever changed. I love it. Thank you!

The SGB shot (both sides) was as close to a miracle as I’ve ever seen. My wife’s PTSD score went from I believe 73 to 6 and stayed very low for about 6 weeks. She got a one side single shot after those 6 weeks and it still helped a ton but not quite as much as the 2 shots the first time. We’re scheduling our third visit now. Everyone’s experience is different, but typically, each round of these shots will give you a longer period of relief before PTSD symptoms start coming back. For some people one shot can give permanent healing and for other it can take multiple or continuous treatment. Even if this is something my wife will continue to have to do it’s so life changing it’s absolutely worth it. It gave her her life back. Since her experience 4 other family members have also gotten the shot with good results.
She saw Dr. Lynch and he was extremely caring, professional, and able to work with her in a way that made her feel very safe and comfortable. By far the best experience my wife and I have ever had with a doctor.

I was absolutely amazed by the results! I have dealt with interstitial cystitis/pelvic floor dysfunction and PTSD for the past 15 years. Within minutes of the procedure I felt complete relief in my pelvic floor. All the tension that I had carried for years disappeared. I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off me physically and mentally!

I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours seeking respite from the physical and emotional symptoms of my PTSD. I have been on a multitude of medications and seen numerous medical professionals and Dr. Lynch is the absolute best I’ve met. He is knowledgeable, careful, sets realistic expectations while thoroughly answering any questions one may have. His bedside manner is outstanding and once he sensed I was nervous post procedure he stayed and spoke with me and my husband to reassure me. As a veteran he understands the trauma veterans endure, he also understands that not all trauma comes from military service. For those that are hesitating please consider this treatment and if you so I recommend Dr. Lynch. A week after my procedure, I did the left and right sides, Since my procedure I have had panic attacks since my procedure and they are severely reduced and I have the mental space to acknowledge what’s happening and respond. Dr Lynch truly changed my life.

He truly cares about his patients and gets to understand them. It is more than just an injection, the dialogue with him is truly amazing. I have had the SGB procedure done several times now and I will say without a doubt it has changed my life. I never thought I could feel the way I did after the procedure. It was like a new me! Thank You for giving me the opportunity to feel like a new person with a positive view on life.

Dr. Lynch has changed my life. Before I had my SGB treatment, I was experiencing severe PTSD-related anxiety for extended periods of time, as well as physical responses to triggers. Less than a week after treatment, all of those physical symptoms were gone and I am now able to brush triggers aside without them ruining my day or week. Dr. Lynch is by far the best medical provider I have ever encountered. Even though he had never spoken to me before, he immediately made me feel comfortable, seen, and heard. He explained everything so clearly and took plenty of time to make sure I understood the procedure and had all of my questions answered. Being treated for emotional trauma puts one in a very vulnerable position, but I felt completely safe and comfortable with Dr. Lynch. I would recommend him to anyone seeking SGB treatment.

As a combat infantryman veteran after many years of suffering, my husband decided to seek the SGB treatment for his family but had no idea how much this would help him. He is still alert and protective, but the extreme intensity is gone and so is the feeling of danger at every corner. The IMMEDIATE results of feeling free from intense anxiety brought us all to tears. He is happy, personable, and remembers the good things now. He now can walk me through any anxiety he feels, in a healthy way! We interact and communicate more and spend more time with our kids. They LOVE seeing that Dad’s days are easier and more fun! This reset all our lives! Dr. Lynch was so caring and legitimately got excited to see the immediate results in my husband (double thumbs up). Saying thank you to Dr. Lynch doesn’t scratch the surface of how much we appreciate his help. We consider him a friend, and a brother.

Dr. Lynch and the SGB saved the life of someone I love dearly. I had witnessed PTSD and eventually long covid symptoms nearly take their life. This shot did not make all the pain go away. But it gave enough relief for healing to take place. If you or someone you know suffers from PTSD or crippling anxiety do not hesitate, the SGB is literally a life saver. This practice in particular cannot be recommended highly enough. They are compassionate and meticulous.

I was assaulted almost a decade ago and my PTSD impacted so many aspects of my life that I felt like I would never have control over again. Prior to the procedure, I had an extremely difficult time sleeping every night and very rarely was able to sleep through the whole night. I am now able to sleep through the whole night regularly and feel so much more rested. It is unbelievable. I feel like I have my life back and am able to do things that used to make me happy that I couldn’t do before. I do not have a racing heart and I don’t get scared anymore at night. I had paralyzing fear and anxiety quite often, and it is almost entirely gone. Many things that used to make me nervous and feel overwhelmed do not anymore. This experience changed my life and Dr. Lynch was very patient, thoughtful, kind, and respectful. I am eternally grateful for this procedure and to feel like myself again for the first time in years.

I received the stellate ganglion block due to my loss of taste and smell for two years after having Covid. Dr. Lynch was amazing every step of the way. He is very knowledgable and explained the procedure thoroughly beforehand. The process was quick and painless and within minutes after the procedure, I had regained my taste and smell almost 100%. Most importantly, my fatigue and brain fog I struggled with for two years, is completely gone. I am now 2 weeks post-procedure and I feel like I got my life back. If you are on the fence about getting the SGB, take the leap and do so with Dr. Lynch, and get your life back!

It’s really hard to put words down when there is no description for the amount of emotions that I’m currently going through. Dr. Lynch was not only professional and kind, he made it feel as though I were a family member that he cared about.

My experience was exceptional. I had no expectations, I was a bit skeptical, but was open to attempt the treatment. After the first day, I noticed results, but chalked it up to a placebo effect. The ‘effect’ continued and while I remained on the fence. I quickly realized following my second treatment, the outcome is genuine and positive results.

I had treatment on both sides. minimal pain which was a plus. I felt like 50lbs was lifted off my chest and i could finally take a deep breathe again after years of living with complex PTSD. After my first treatment i woke up the morning after not covered in sweat or overcome by panic from nightmares.  It is also great that he is an Army Vet. And we related on being Fort Bragg Family.  Dr. Lynch is so genuine that I really believe he continues to support the people he has helped. Army Strong Hooah!

Dr. Lynch truly cares about his patients and is very thorough. He has excellent bedside manner and takes his time to answer every question you may have about PTSD and the SGB procedure. I will admit I was pretty nervous during my first visit as I did not know what to expect, but Dr. Lynch explained the process and talked me through the procedure every step of the way. You are not rushed and are encouraged to ask as many questions as you need to. I had excellent results with the SGB where my PCL-5 was initially a 56 and decreased to 19 (GAD-7 decreased to 5 from initial 18) after my first right-side injection. I opted to receive a second injection and already feel additional benefits. I feel so blessed to have such a genuine provider in my corner and will definitely come back as needed. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch!

Dr. Lynch spent as much time as we needed to answer all our questions and give us a complete description of what he was going to do to my daughter. I was able to stay in the room with her and he made sure she was comfortable throughout the procedure. He stayed with us during recovery and took as much time as we needed. I was very impressed with his bedside manner and would recommend anyone to get in touch with Dr. Lynch.

Dr. Lynch addressed all of my questions pre and post SGB procedure. I felt safe and comfortable during the procedures, and I got a reduction of 90% of my anxiety symptoms, to the point of reducing most of my medications to almost nothing. I will always be extremely grateful to Dr Lynch and the Stellate institute for their caring help.

Dr. Lynch was very thorough in explaining exactly how the procedure works, why it works, and how it can help. He listened whenever I had questions and answered them clearly. The procedure was quick and easy. The effects have decreased my PTSD symptoms and high levels of anxiety tremendously. If you are considering doing the SGB procedure, I would highly recommend it.

Dr. Lynch took the time to make sure I truly understood the procedure and what it would feel like after. He took his time during the procedure and talked me through it, with minimal discomfort. I am simply amazed at how kind and compassion he is. Thanks Doc Lynch!

After struggling under crippling insomnia and chronic anxiety for years, SGB allowed me to return to a version of my high-functioning self. Those walking a similar path will know the frustrations of trying multiple medications, medical professionals without fluency in PTSD, short-lived solutions without durability; SGB provides long-lasting theraputic relief of PTSD symptoms that I haven’t experienced until now. Dr. Lynch is deeply knowledgeable, curious and attentive to his patients and their comprehensive care. His expertise in PTSD and the SGB procedure ensures lasting relief from the immediate symptoms and a high quality of care.

Dr. Lynch is kind, compassionate and I never felt rushed, pressured or pushed through a “process”. He treated me like a special individual patient like he would have treated his own family. Thumbs up on the entire process from Heather in scheduling to my procedure to my outcome.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to try this treatment. I felt a difference almost immediately and I am blown away by the changes I already see. I feel such a sense of calm and so much peace. I am so excited for what the future holds. Dr. Lynch and his staff are wonderful! (Thank you!!)

I was a bit apprehensive about getting the injection but I have to say that it was truly a piece of cake. It was done before I really even know that it had started. Immediately after the procedure, I had no idea what to think. I just felt like a blank slate- then It donned on me that that was the goal. Suddenly I felt like I could deal with things with steam coming out of my ears and the top lifting off my head. I was right. Amazingly, it also helped with the nasty nerve pain I deal with every day. It feels like it numbed it.

Dr. Lynch was a one of the most caring and honest providers I have ever dealt with. I have researched their practice for a number of years to find help for my Marine vet son. I can not begin to express my gratitude for the help they have provided.

The procedure was seamless. Dr. Lynch was caring and informative. After it was over I felt FREE. Free from everything that was holding me back. I cried, not from sadness but from being freed from my past. More to come. Thanks, Mike.

Dr. Lynch was very helpful and informative. The procedure takes 10 minutes and is painless. The anxiety vanishes almost instantaneously. Would highly recommend to anyone suffering from PTSD or high-anxiety. Words cannot describe how thankful I was to find ROSM and Dr. Lynch.

Dr. Lynch took great care and time to explain all the benefits and possible risks associated with the stellate ganglion block, or SGB shot I received. Hands down one of the best doctors I have been seen by.

Dr. Lynch made the whole procedure seem like a normal Dr. visit. Absolutely one of the best things I’ve done for myself and my family.

Dr. Lynch is so incredibly kind. PTSD feels like something has been stolen from you, and Dr. Lynch does anything in his power to help restore that.

Dr. Lynch was very helpful and informative.  The procedure takes 10 minutes and is painless.  The anxiety vanishes almost instantaneously.  Would highly recommend to anyone suffering from PTSD or high-anxiety.  Words cannot describe how thankful I was to find ROSM and Dr. Lynch.

I have been suffering from PTSD symptoms for over 5 years after a life-threatening experience. The SGB has proven to be effective for me only a few minutes after the injection. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for what you do. This is an amazing experience.
Pour les gens du Quebec, je vous recommande fortement les services de Dr Lynch pour traiter le stress post-traumatic. La clinique est parfaite et l’acces pour le traitement est facile. Merci a toute l’equipe.

From the moment I met Dr. Lynch I felt like he understood me. I have had multiple years of therapy from being sexually abused by a pediatrician starting in 3rd grade yet my PTSD symptoms have only increased with age. At 55 I knew I needed to try something new. Trauma physically changes our bodies. This treatment has fixed the part of my body that was damaged. I literally can’t believe how much it has changed how my body responds to the world around it. With therapy, this is a very real solution to life threatening condition. Thank you Dr. Lynch. Words don’t even come close to how grateful I am to have met you.

Dr. Lynch was AMAZING! I have never had a medical provider spend as much time with me than Dr. Lynch did. He asked a lot of questions, listened intently, and then shared everything about the procedure, risks and the range of possible outcomes. He treated me as an equal, and was compassionate and caring throughout the entire process. He staff was equally caring and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and ROSM.

I wish more providers were like Dr. Lynch. He took the time to listen to any questions I had, thoroughly explain the procedure, and had exceptional bedside manner. While I hope I don’t need this procedure again, if I do, I know who to call.

Dr. Lynch made this experience easy and stress free. This treatment has made me feel the best i have ever felt in my entire life. I am forever grateful for this experience and i hope many other people come and get this done!

My experience with Dr. Lynch was unbelievable. From start to finish. His office staff—shoutout to Ms. Kim especially— were very responsive and caring. They took great care of me before I ever even made it into the office. Dr. Lynch was very calming, in spite of my apprehensions coming in. He explained everything. He was on time. He took his time with me and didn’t make the visit feel rushed or pressured in any manner. His hands are skilled and effective. His follow up even well after the procedure was more than I could have hoped for. Excellent bedside manners all around. Just the most likable guy you’d ever want to meet, let alone be your physician. Five-star service from beginning to end. Not only would I recommend him, but already have recommended him.

Dr. Lynch took the time to get a thorough background on the issues and challenges that I was facing. He addressed them in a concise manner, outlining expectations, benefits, and limitations of the SGB.

Dr. Lynch was caring and knowledgeable. He explained the SGB procedure and answered all questions. During the procedure, he calmly explained what was happening and what to expect every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to do this procedure.

Dr. Lynch took the time to sit down with me and review every step of the process before getting started. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I’m very thankful for Dr. Lynch and the entire ROSM staff. My right side SGB was a success and I just scheduled my left side.

Visited Dr. Lynch for the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure and I was totally happy that I did. Dr. Lynch is very friendly, compassionate and professional. He kept me informed throughout the procedure and seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. As for the procedure itself, the SGB procedure changed my life. I feel this is definitely an option to explore for anyone suffering with any type of PTSD. I feel more optimistic about my future knowing this procedure is available. It has truly given me a more positive outlook on life.

I am 1 hour post injection and i have not felt this good in 20 years. I wish i had known about this years ago. If you suffer from PTSD don’t think about getting the injection, DO IT!!!!

Dr. Lynch is an incredibly caring provider and I could not be happier with his care. I just left his office now after getting my third and fourth blocks from him. I got my first and second just about four months ago and am back because of the great difference I and the people closest to me have seen them make. I was in a terrible place before coming to Dr. Lynch that I could not imagine getting out of so I am so thankful.

I had great results with SGB for complex PTSD. That terrible sensation of terror in my chest and stomach has decreased from 10/10 to about a 4. My experience with Dr Lynch is the best experience I have ever had with a physician. He is highly skilled, gentle, patient, and dedicated. It is a safe place to go for those obliterated by life who may be losing hope. Dr Lynch is the best of the best.

My daughter has been searching for something to help her anxiety and CPTSD for years. From the minute we walked into the office Dr. Lynch made us feel relaxed and hopeful for the procedure. We have been to many doctors over the years. Dr Lynch is the most caring, kind, and patient doctor we have every met. The procedure did help in turning down the volume of anxiety in my daughter. I know it can seem intimidating to try an “out of the box” treatment but I would encourage you to try the Stellate Ganglion Block if you struggle with PTSD.

As a therapist with two masters degrees and over a decade of PTS symptoms – I’d love to say I knew the secret to fixing myself on my own.  I have been very fortunate to have incredible therapists with military family members with PTS who have had extra empathy for what it’s like. I have tried Effexor up to 225 mg, many other antidepressants in different combos, IV Ketamine, EMDR. Everything has helped me at different points of my journey but nothing has made me feel comfortable in my own skin.  I’m actually shocked at how SGB has worked.  I’m a few weeks out now and instead of having to do 30 minutes of progressive muscle relaxation to loosen my neck and shoulders and try to avoid migraine – I can notice the tension starting and consciously relax in a few moments.  I am gradually planning to do some exposure with my therapist and it’s interesting noticing the dramatic reduction in avoidance.  I am so grateful to have found Dr. Lynch and SGB. (ps have a good therapist to process with after).

Dr. Lynch took the time to review all concerns and educated me on the procedure. Would recommend the SGB block to those who are looking for complementary therapy for hyper-vigilance. Provides immediate relief.

I feel great already after the treatment. Best decision I have ever made.

Dr. Lynch possesses a rare combination of expert knowledge and exceptional bedside manner. He is simply the best physician I have encountered at articulating complex medical situations in a clear and understandable way. He takes the time to make sure you understand the diagnosis and are comfortable with the clinical plan. He goes out of his way to follow-up and ensure your medical needs are met. There is simply no physician I would trust more to take care of me and my family.

Dr. Lynch is extremely professional and caring. He knows what he’s doing and makes you feel at ease. Before I came here, I felt as if there was no hope left. After doing both blocks, I felt like a completely changed person. I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling as I came out of the office. If you’re on the fence about this procedure as I was for a long time, go for it. It will change your life.

Dr. Lynch explained everything to me very clearly. He was compassionate and gentle. He and his team made this entire experience easy. Complete and easy to understand explanations and answers to my questions gave me comfort.

Dr. Lynch is a caring person. He took the time to get to know me and my situation and explained how the Stellate Ganglion Block would work very clearly. He has given me my life back. I had tried therapy, medication, and emdr for over three years. Nothing felt like it restored me back to my normal life before my traumatic accident. But Dr. Lynch’s performance of the Stellate Ganglion Block on me has me feeling like I felt before my accident. I never thought I’d get back to that point, and I am grateful for Dr. Lynch for getting me back to my normal, pre-accident self.

I felt comfortable every step of the way, informative, attentive and understanding. Highly recommend this procedure, I felt confident I was calm and relaxed the majority of the time, this procedure brought new light to a level of calm and lack of anxiety I didn’t recognize I had.

How do you describe getting your life back with two shots in the neck?  I have been suffering with anxiety and depression for 27 years.  Fear and anger rule my life. Negative thoughts were a constant and always my first thought because bad things always seemed to happen to me. The same day I got my first shot, I didn’t think like that. I still have negative thoughts that come up, but I “choose” to think positively because that’s what I want out of life. Dr. Lynch is and will be a good friend to check-in with as I become an active for youth, my community and men who find it hard to handle or experience their emotions. I stepped out on faith by doing this and my only regret is I wish I did this sooner. For anyone that reads this and wonder if they should try this to help their PTSD, I will ask you this one question: “If you’re not getting the result you want, and you tried everything else, why not take a chance?”  Do think, just do it and if not for yourself do for the people around you.

I came into this procedure a bit skeptical… I was NOT pressured or talked into proceeding. It was explained to me in great detail, Dr Lynch spent an hour with me to make sure I was sure I wanted to continue and everything he explained was exactly what happened. For me this has been a life saving stepping stone to getting my PTSD under control and manageable.
