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.

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.

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.

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.
