Testimonials


Dr. Montgomery has been a powerful influence on my life.

After complications following the birth of my first child I was diagnosed with Asherman's Syndrome - a disease which causes adhesions in the uterine lining. Traditional doctors told me that it would be unlikely that I would have a second child. Naturally, I was extremely grateful to already have one healthy baby bit I longed for a second and wanted, at minimum, to have the ability and choice to provide my daughter with a sibiling.

After being diagnosed with Asherman's, I had two surgeries in an attempt to eradicate the scarring which was causing the walls of mu uteros to ostensibly be stuck together, preventing pregnancy. I worked with Kaleb throughout this time over the course of a year. During the routine pre-op blood work ordered by my western doctor on my way to a third surgery, I learned that I would not need to have the surgery after all as I was pregnant!

I firmly believe that the work Kaleb and I did together _ a combination of acupuncture, re-establishing a framework of openness, acceptance and calm in my life through meditative exercises, journaling, simple yoga stretches and having fun (yes, he gave me homework to have fun and laugh!!!) fuelled my full recovery. My sessions with Kaleb left me feeling listened to, emotionally bouyed and unburdened and no doubt helped me to get -and stay- pregnant.

On May 8th 2007 I gave birth to a secnd healthy baby girl. I thank Kaleb from the bottom of my heart for helping me and my family fulfill a dream and overcome what others said wasn't possible.

Prior to starting fertility treatments with Dr. Kaleb we had tried all types of conventional medical treatments as well as naturopathic remedies and much much more, it's been a challenging several years with no results. Two months after moving from Australia to Canada for work we found Dr. Kaleb, who not only performed acupuncture treatments and gave me herbs to take, he insisted on listening, which is very rare and also incredibly helpful for couples that are having trouble conceiving. To our joy, several months into my treatment we conceived a child that is due to enter the world on 14th January - this little miracle is very much owed to your dedication, care and expert knowledge in fertility. Thank you just doesn't seem enough of the joy that you've helped us bring (very soon) into our world.

Forever indebted - Ilona & Arthur

Re: Article - The Charter of Human Responsibilities.


Dear Kaleb,

This is so beautiful! Thank you for sending out your thoughts on improving the world. I believe there is much good will out there and people would be more helpful if they had more guidance and knew how. Somebody told me once that there is a huge base of people who would volunteer to help humanity if they had direction. I guess that's why people start non profit organizations and chairities and some people like yourself write articles... blessings to you,

Stephanie


Dear Kaleb,

It's incredible how much difference one treatment can make. I tend to get
impatient with treatments that take a while to produce any results, although
I acknowledge that they do make a difference. I was delighted that even
after 1 session with you, I saw a major difference in my condition.

Also, I really appreciate how receptive you are to my concerns. I've had my
share of doctors, Eastern and Western, that are ready to tell you, "my way
or the highway!" Rarely have I encountered someone who is willing to work
with the patient in finding not only the most effective treatment, but one
that incorporates the patients fears, states of mind and beliefs. It truly
feels more like a partnership than a doctor-client relationship.

Dear Dr. Montgomery

For many years I suffered from PMS and menstrual cramps, and then I discovered Dr. Kaleb Montgomery. Dr. Montgomery's acupuncture as well as his holistic approach to treating his patients has made a huge difference in my life.

Dear Dr. Montgomery

In just three acupuncture treatments, Dr. Montgomery managed to completely eradicate the chronic knee pain that conventional medicine assured me there was no treatment for, aside for taking painkillers.

Hi Kaleb


We still have 6 weeks to go before Christine is due. She is doing very well . After slight but constant nausea during the 1st trimester, the 2nd was very smooth. And now half way through the 3rd she is a little more tired than usual but still very happy & healthy. Can't wait! Hope you are well Kaleb.

Thanks
Tom


Re: Article - Faith and Letting Go of Control

Hello

I want to thank you for the article you shared with us yesterday. It has touched a chord with me, because control is a big thing for me as you no doubt know. It has helped to put into perspective the changes going on at work, family and the world. Of course I will continue to look for answers to all life's questions! - but reminding myself that there is a greater force at work helps certainly helps. Trick is to not resign oneself to fatalism.

Thanks
Pam


Re: Article - Faith and Letting Go of Control

At a time when my current relationship has ended, and being
distraught about losing someone that I am in love with, I'm
realizing that I can't control their actions and feelings. The
only thing I can control is how I act towards that person- and
if it's not good enough or what have you- then I have no choice
but to just TRY and move on.

Your article has helped me put things into proper perspective,
more than you could imagine. I'm trying to do what you suggest,
its not easy, but I know I will have to in order to remain sane!

Thank you Kaleb. I owe you big time for this. Matter of fact I'm
going to print it out and re-read some keys to it (as dumb as
that sounds) to drill into my head the concept:

Change what you can,

don't worry about what you can't change
.
Its important, not just in my situation now- love- but in

general.

AGAIN, much thanks.

Dear Kaleb,

I wanted to let you know, I gardened last week! It seems a little strange to start a letter this way, but it's a world of change from where I was a little over a month ago.  When I first came to see you, I had trouble lifting my arm without being in pain.  Yet after just a few sessions with you, I was not only able to do some serious gardening (roto-tilling and cutting sod out with a small shovel is HARD work), but I also went to the driving range and walked a full round on the golf course.  All essentially pain-free (other than my golf score which is another story).

Speaking of golf, I also have to say that my swing hasn't felt that good in over three years.  It hasn't improved my score (you would need to be God to accomplish that), but I now have back the range of motion that I had gradually lost.  This, to me, is amazing as I didn't even realize I had lost the range of motion to begin with. At about the fifth swing, I realized that I had regained so much motion, my swing seemed new!  The result of all this is that I actually noticed a marked improvement in my performance on the course (now if only you can help me putt ;-) ).

While the physical improvements have been welcome, I think that this is only part of the success you have worked on me.  Our discussions have gone a long way to improving my work stress and outlook on life.  While, I have always been an optimistic person, the combination of our discussions, and being pain free, has improved my perception of the world.

Being Chinese-Canadian, I had always been open to traditional Chinese medicine, but the approach that you take was, in my view, a lot more comfortable to me (and more effective) than others that are strictly ³old school.²  My wife and I joke that after seeing you, I smell like my dad.  However, this is a small price to pay given the improvements to my well-being ­ physical and emotional.

Thank you again.  As you already know, I am heartily recommending you to everyone I see.  Stress is so prevalent in our society these days, I think everyone could benefit from seeing you!

Sincerely,

Ka-Hing Lin.
