When I met Melissa Tomon, I had been very sick for over two years. I was at rock bottom - so much pain, nerve burning, body on fire, dehydrated, emaciated and I couldn't eat or sleep - no relief. I was in bed with ice packs every night, shaky, a horrible sore throat and getting worse everyday. I had seen emergency room, infectious disease and family doctors but I was only offered antidepressants.

Melissa diagnosed Lyme disease for the first time in January 2019 and prescribed treatment. I got better, then relapsed she ordered more tests and new protocol - I gradually improved but she never ran out of solutions each time I relapsed. She got to the bottom of every symptom's root cause and knew how to fix it. It is June 2021 and I am alive and extremely well and strong and pain free! I still do exactly what Melissa suggests from lab work to diet, Stress Management and protocols. She is a priceless treasure! The whole office works together as a unit to practice the highest level of care and compassion. Many times my nurse, Jessica answered my cries of pain and despair with hope and encouragement no matter how busy she was. I love these people and I owe them my life. I continue to recommend chronically ill people to this office because I believe they offer the highest and best form of Medicine.

Gratefully,
Terry

I have been a patient of Dr. G's since 2001. When he first saw me I had already been to many doctors and was frustrated and quite sick. He runs blood work that no other doctor will run and was able diagnose and treat me for Lyme, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I followed his protocol and finally felt myself again. His staff was so supportive and would answer any phone or email question. I continue to see him as I have developed autoimmune diseases that he treats. He is extremely knowledgeable and spends our visit explaining blood work and answering my questions in great detail. I continue to recommend him to others.

About 10 months ago, my daughter was experiencing severe digestive discomfort, mood issues and an overall failure to thrive. Her energy was low, her hair wasn't growing and she had been in the same clothing size for over a year. I became frustrated with the options available to us via our local pediatrician. The Garabedian Clinic and specifically Melissa Tomon were recommended to me and I'm happy to say we are making great progress. Ten months later, Alexa has an entirely different attitude, has gained weight, her hair and nails are growing and now that we've identified her food triggers, she's experiencing much less digestive discomfort. I feel as though I've regained my daughter back. While the progress is most welcomed, what I really appreciate most about Melissa is the time she takes to understand her patient's story. She builds a protocol to help the individual patient and can adjust as needed. Her team is extremely accessible and willing to answer questions and provide information which made me feel comfortable and confident in the path we chose to heal my daughter. I'm grateful to have Melissa and her team guide us on my daughter's journey to wellness.

After struggling for years, Dr. Garabedian was the doctor who diagnosed and treated my Lyme and CFIDS. Though I'm not "cured", I'm functioning at a much better level than the times when I wasn't using his protocols. Over the years I've seen numerous doctors as I moved around the country. Dr. G. has been the most successful at managing my symptoms. I've found him to be extremely knowledgeable and caring. His staff is friendly, compassionate, very competent, and has always has gotten back to me in a timely matter. Difficult cases can't be cured with a magic pill, but I've seen first hand where Dr. G. is always aware of the latest treatment options, and uses them where appropriate. If someone I cared about was struggling with Lyme/CFIDS, I would suggest they pay a visit to him, knowing that he's done well by me.

I am so happy I have found Melissa Tomon and The Garabedian Clinic. I first came to Melissa after receiving my thyroid blood work and being told by my Family Doctor that it was normal. My blood work indicated my thyroid antibodies were high so I began doing some research. I was under the understanding I had Hashimotos and I didn’t know what to do with this. Through my research for a Functional Medicine doctor, I found the Garabedian Clinic and Melissa. My health has drastically improved over the last year. Melissa was the FIRST person who actually understood what I was going through and didn’t just tell me I was depressed and to take medication for it. She understood what these high antibodies were doing to me and we started on a treatment plan. I have since been diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and she has been amazing to work with on this. She is compassionate, understanding, and she really listens. She has been wonderful with nutrition guidance and also lifestyle options that fit with my crazy busy life. She is realistic and empathetic. Melissa, along with her nurse, Jess, have been instrumental in both my mental and physical health. This has been quite a journey for me and I’m beyond thankful for finding Melissa and her team!

Nerina has been a patient to Dr. Garabedian since 2014. We attend as a wife and husband team since there is so much information the Doctor provides. With the treatments and supplements my wife continues to take she has improved her energy level and health 100 percent over the past 5 years. We visit from Connecticut and leave the office every time thankful that we were introduced to this medical gem in King of Prussia. Dr. G’s understanding and amazing knowledge is why we continue to return on a regular basis. He also surrounds himself with a group of compassionate and highly skilled office staff and nurses that strive to make every visit a seamless experience.

Dr. Garabedian is an excellent doctor. He listens to his patients and provides excellent medical care. He is one is a million.

I have been a patient of Dr. Garabedian's for almost 11 years & can say this man literally SAVED MY LIFE. I had been to 9 different doctors in the NY/ NNJ area before finding him through a series of serendipitous events led me to him. I had been misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, mistreated, & untreated by this time & was VERY sick & very sick & tired of being sick and tired. After a series of blood tests, I was started on treatment for CFS which presented symptoms including, but not limited to, extreme exhaustion that would not go away NO MATTER how MUCH I SLEPT, low thyroid, dry eye, digestive disturbances, weight gain that WOULD NOT BUDGE, chronic muscle aches & joint pain, & headaches of migraine proportion. With a few Rx (mostly compounded) & many supplements, diet and lifestyle tweaks, I slowly but surely began to see an improvement. While there is no cure I am able to manage my condition & have MY LIFE BACK! I am FOREVER GRATEFUL to Dr. G. for helping me when no one else could...

December 24th of last year I started experiencing debilitating dizzy spells and panic attacks. At first I thought it was just anxiety, being that it runs in the family or possibly diabetes that also run in the family. After about a week of being dizzy almost 24/7 I started seeking medical help. My first doctor diagnosed me with panic disorder and prescribed me medication for these panic attacks. Three days of being on this medication I was having thoughts of suicide and just really depressed all the time and couldn’t be alone. These dizzy spells just got worse. After multiple trips to the emergency room and having the doctors tell me "nothing is wrong" it was becoming very frustrating. At this point I reached out to my best friends’ wife, Jessica who is a nurse at the Garabedian Clinic in King of Prussia. She told me to come and talk to Melissa Tomon, holistic nurse practitioner. My very first day of meeting Melissa one thing stuck out to me and gave e, hope. She said it may be a long process but I will not stop until we get you feeling better. I was most nervous about my upcoming wedding in April, I was afraid I was going to be too dizzy or have a panic attack and not be able to get through the best day of my life. After some testing Melissa had sent me for, she found out that I have Chronic Lyme Disease along with some other health concerns. She immediately started an antibiotic treatment for the Lyme Disease along with other supplements. Long story short, I was able to get through my wedding, get back to work and start functioning somewhat normally again. Melissa was the only person that was able to get my hopes up and get me back on the right path to feeling better and having a normal life again. Today is November 24th, almost 1 year since my dizziness started and I would say I am probably 60% - 70% back to normal. I still have some bad days but I am able to get through it. I just want to say thank you, Melissa from the bottom of my heart for having such a caring heart and the knowledge to get me back to a normal life -

I have been seeing Melissa Tomon for about 10 months. She is amazing! She is extremely thorough and has gotten to the root cause of the problems I have been experiencing. Melissa ensures the patient is on board with all recommendations and will work with any concerns you have. The office staff is wonderful and friendly too. They always respond to any questions or needs I have quickly. Switching to the Garabedian Medical Clinic was the best decision I ever made!

I can not recommend Melissa Tomon enough. She spends so much time with her patients explaining every detail and helps you every step of the way towards a healthy lifestyle. If it weren’t for Melissa I would have had major health concerns go completely unnoticed. I have never had such comprehensive evaluations and labs done with previous practices. I can’t thank Melissa and her nurse Jessica enough for the remarkable care they provide. Highly recommend Garabedian clinic! -
