Stramcenter

I don’t even know where to begin, because Dr. Stram truly changed our lives. Our daughter is now 17 months old, and we began seeing Dr. Stram after she had a seizure around 10 months of age. Before finding the Stram Center, we saw multiple doctors locally and were given a wide range of vague explanations and non-answers. There was no clear plan, no real direction—just a lot of sympathy and, at times, the painful message of “we’re not sure what’s going on, and there’s nothing more we can do.” We were desperate. Out of that desperation, I started searching online and stumbled upon the Stram Center. By pure chance, Dr. Stram had a same-day cancellation, and we took the appointment on a whim. From that very first visit, everything changed. For the first time, we felt truly seen and understood. Dr. Stram recognized that something real was going on and made it clear that he was committed to helping our baby get better. This was not an overnight fix—it has taken months—but the progress has been life-changing. At every appointment, even when I would say things were “okay” but not where we hoped they’d be, Dr. Stram never gave up. He consistently pivoted, offered new ideas, and provided tangible, thoughtful recommendations. He explained everything in depth so we fully understood not only what he was recommending, but why. Every decision felt intentional and grounded in deep experience, wisdom, and knowledge—something we sadly did not find elsewhere. While local doctors suggested things like chamomile tea or fish oil, Dr. Stram was thinking several levels deeper. He introduced concepts and treatments we had never even heard of, and ultimately helped uncover that we were dealing with significant food sensitivities/allergies combined with extremely low gut microbiome levels. He pieced together a complex puzzle and guided us toward real solutions. Before working with him, we were exhausted—waking up all night, struggling with a baby who wouldn’t eat, wasn’t gaining weight, cried constantly, and could never be put down. She was miserable, and we knew something was wrong. Today, the difference is incredible. She wakes maybe once a night (and sometimes sleeps through), eats real food and real meals, and has long stretches of contentment throughout the day. She is a thousand times better than she was when we first called. I get emotional talking about this because I know, without Dr. Stram, we would not be where we are today. We still have progress to make, but the improvement we’ve seen has brought literal tears of joy. If you are considering the Stram Center—especially if you feel dismissed, lost, or desperate—you are absolutely in the right place. We will forever be grateful to Dr. Stram and his team. -The Tracy Family

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Stram Center for Integrative Medicine. Our family is incredibly thankful for the support we have received for our 4-year old son, who suffered for two years from a myriad of neuropsychiatric symptoms, Despite countless appointments with various doctors and therapists, we struggled to find help or direction. In September of last year, our son was diagnosed with Lyme disease, coinfections, and PANDAS. Even with this diagnosis, relief from symptoms remained elusive. Being originally from the Capital District, we had heard wonderful things about Dr. Stram's expertise in treating Lyme and decided to reach out to his office. After just 4.5 months under Dr. Stram's care, our son is thriving! We have seen a significant reduction in all symptoms, leading to a much improved quality of life for him and our entire family. We cannot thank Dr. Stram and his amazing staff enough. Everyone we have encountered radiates warmth and compassion, making our journey much more bearable. Thank you!

Where do I even start? The Stram Center for Integrative Medicine is truly a gem. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're met with a sense of peace, compassion, and deep care that is rare in most medical settings. The team takes time to truly listen, treating the whole person, and not just symptoms. Every practitioner is highly knowledgeable, patient, and deeply respectful of your individual journey. Their collaborative, science-informed, and patient-centered model has made a profound impact on my health and well-being. It’s clear they are passionate about empowering patients and helping them heal on all levels. I’m so grateful for the care I’ve received here. Would recommend to anyone!
