“I love treating patients.  My skills in diagnosis are one of my proud points and I don’t just accept a previous diagnosis, I dig into the cause of pain and get to the heart of the condition.  I utilize a number of techniques to help patients feel better and will do everything in my power to restore health.  It does my heart good to see people get relief from pain without taking drugs or having surgery,” says Dr. Lubkeman.  "One of the requirements for being a patient in this office is that you actually get well.  I will refer you to another physician if I see that you are not making progress.  When you have achieved health, I will advise you about the best ways to maintain or improve your state of health."
