    Having been treated by his medicine hands almost all my life has been a blessing. If you are looking for a real qualified professional, passionate about what he does and caring, if you are looking for an inspiring source of knowledge regarding osteopathy, acupuncture and herbal remedies I cannot recommend Doc. Robert enough. His healing hands will work out the best treatment for your condition with a holistic approach. Above all of this, his touch is gentle, his attention to detail is remarkable and he is a lovely human being.
