Dr. Elizabeth Ann Woolford, MD

I have taken ACE treatments from Dr. Woolford for about 4 years and it has completely changed my life. I was badly overstressed and suffering from intestinal disorders as a result. The concept of combining acupuncture, chiropracty and energy massage to encourage the body to heal itself has worked well for me. We also combined this with blood and gastro-intestinal analysis to change my diet, include specific vitamins and bacteria, and these steps have improved my overall health, probably preventing a second colon surgery. I am very pleased with the overall results and the facility.

I have always felt cared for as a whole person, not segmented body systems or physical vs. mental health. I have also felt that the staff as a whole truly CARES about me. When I come here for treatment I know I am taking care of myself as well, and usually leave feeling very relaxed, grateful for the 'me time'. The treatment here initially helped overcome an issue that wasn't being improved by traditional medicine; I continue to come to maintain a level of wellness and to deal with symptoms early on before they become serious.

Since my first visit I have always been treated by the staff in a very caring and accommodating manner. Dr. Liz has gotten to the root of my problem and addressed the issues through testing and treatment. She is always concerned and makes me feel like a friend instead of a patient. I feel the course I am on will place me on a road to better well being.

At The Alliance Institute, I always feel as though the staff truly listens to my needs and concerns and they address each of these needs with the proper treatment. I have been very pleased with the results of these treatments and I am feeling better each day. I have recommended this facility to many people that have not seen results with conventional medicine.

Dr. Liz is always attentive to my concerns, interested in me as a person, and has good suggestions for me. Her acupuncture treatments center me and go a long way toward keeping my fibromyalgia at bay. The supplements she has suggested are so much more helpful than the drugs I used to take. So very glad Dr. Steve Bleser and Marcia suggested I see her. The staff at AIIM always makes me feel valued and special. The calming music and aroma add to my healing experience. So pleased to be a patient here.

Treatment of prolotherapy has been a move in the right direction. After years of constant low back pain I am eventually feeling relief. It is taking numerous sessions but that is expected with this type of treatment. I am glad I found this facility to do the prolo versus going to some doctor for steroid shots.

I thought dr Liz and staff were wonderful. She is very attentive and listened to my needs, developed a plan that I could follow to allow for optimal health.

Refused to perform treatments which are well known to help my syndrome, declared I did not have a tendon problem while holding documentation from my physical therapist stating I have at least 7 sites of tendonitis, insinuated that my problem was psychosomatic while holding documentation from multiple other physicians who all agreed on the actual diagnosis of my very real physical illness, lied that there were no aquatherapy centers in the entire state of Ohio despite her office being on the same block as one of them, never physically examined me, mocked me for educating myself about my illness, dismissed any treatments she was unfamiliar with, declared that treatments only fail when patients refuse to heal, insinuated that all people with illnesses are nothing more than professional victims, repeatedly referenced a book written by her bosses which she seemed to regard as a kind of bible and her bosses as some kind of gurus, lapsed into Landmark Forum cult lingo accusing me of sticking… to a false narrative, implied that if I did not share her spiritual beliefs that I would not recover from my syndrome which is believed by scientists to be caused by a gene defect of the MTHFR pathways, tried to sell me pseudo-psychology CDs and was just generally insulting, uninformed, dismissive and arrogant. Also, her acupuncture was mediocre, at best, only relieving the pain in my ankles for about two hours and greatly increasing the pain in my shoulders and jaw and her assistant forgot to remove all the pins from my right arm. She also made the weird claim that attaching what is essentially an electrostimulation machine to the acupuncture needles was making them vibrate on some emotional/spiritual plane rather than the scientific fact that certain vibrations (including cats' purring, fyi) promote healing. I would not recommend that anyone waste their time or money at this place. There is a very strange, culty vibe to the place; they reverentially give you a copy of the book the owners wrote when you check in and it made me feel as though I'd accidentally joined Scientology. I don't see how this place could be of any use to anyone with an actual physical medical problem when the treatments they do offer are lousy and they withold IV Glutathione and Prolotherapy from people with tendinopathy and peripheral neuropathy. The clerks at Cincinnati Natural Foods are better informed about science, tendons, joints, nerve pain and the methylation process than Woolford and much more pleasant to talk with.
