“I went to Dr. Dembski with severe pain and swelling of my right arm and upper chest. My family physician diagnosed a pinched nerve in my neck and referred me to Dr. Dembski who diagnosed me with a Deep Vein Thrombosis – a DVT is a blood clot.  Dr. Dembski sent me to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with three blood clots in my arm and upper chest. After 8 days in Danbury Hospital, I was released and placed on a blood thinner for the blood clots caused by a postural condition called thoracic outlet syndrome. My thoracic surgeon told me I would need surgery to correct this problem which consisted of removal of my upper rib. Dr. Dembski gave me several exercises designed to improve posture and open the thoracic outlet. The exercises worked and I was able to avoid surgery. If I had not seen Dr. Dembski, I may have never been diagnosed correctly and I could have died because of it. I have fully recovered and I am back to my regular routine in life a little wiser, and also grateful to a person who was willing to take his time in diagnosing and correcting a life threatening condition.” — Joseph Byers, Southbury, CT
