Zerona Laser Treatment Testimonials
My name is Karen and I am 46 years old. I am unable to exercise due to a back injury and I hated my stomach. After having four children and stomach surgery, I felt that my stomach protruded far more than it should.
I enquired about the Zerona Laser and was advised to come in to LaTorre Wellness center for a consult. I was also given a website to look at. By the time I came in for a consult, I had studied the site thoroughly and was convinced this was the treatment for me. Three weeks later at my final appointment, I had lost a total of 12 inches from my stomach and hips.
Dr. LaTorre and his wonderful staff were so kind throughout this procedure. Pam gave me lots of great advice to maximize my results and did a great job of keeping me motivated. I traveled over an hour from the Sarasota area to the Wellness Center. This drive was well worth it.
I would highly recommend the services offered by Latorre Wellness Center. The facility offers a "zen like" atmosphere of peace and warmth. I enjoyed the time I spent there and was thrilled at the results. I will be returning for further wellness treatments.
Thank you to you all!

When I called Dr. LaTorre out of sheer desperation and asked him for something, ANYTHING, to ease my suffering, he not only scheduled me for an appointment that day, but he personally showed up at my hotel in less than one hour. Dr. LaTorre to calmly administered a few acupuncture needles to my ear in conjunction with about 25 minutes of completely non-invasive cold laser therapy on my ankle. Almost immediately, I felt my hysteria and my breathing begin to calm, I could talk and think clearly, and within the first ten minutes, the pain was completely under control. I had never received acupuncture or cold laser before this occasion and, consequently, I'd had no confidence personally in the treatment. I can say now that as a pain management alternative to pills, what Dr. LaTorre offers is absolutely incredible, not to mention safe, healthy and completely inexpensive when I take into account the costs of the three prescriptions I was written, I have found a doctor with the knowledge and skills to provide a much appreciated alternative. Thank you, Dr. LaTorre, for easing the worst pain of my life and showing me proof of the effectiveness of holistic alternative medicine.

Wow, what a relief you all have given me so far. I was reluctant to begin treatment, but was desperate to try anything that would help relive my pain. Other doctors only suggested painkillers or surgery. I went to your clinic with high hopes and was not disappointed. I have had pain in my shoulder and low back and knees for years. My shoulder was so bad I could not lie on that side of my body when sleeping, and when I sewed, my fingers would go numb. After the first treatment, I did not think much about my shoulder, but that evening I slept on my side for the first time in years. AND I woke in the morning pain free. I used to have so much pain in my shoulder that it would wake me from a sound sleep and I'd be in agonizing pain if I accidentally rolled on it while sleeping. After one treatment, I can sleep at night after years of being awakened by pain. I am looking forward to seeing myself well, which I have not been in years. You and your staff are a gift to this community. Thank you for helping me to wellness.

I have had non-stop headaches for the past four years, diabetes, stroke, back pain, blurred vision, embolism, a heart condition, neuropathy, sleepless nights, stomach issues, high blood pressure and horrible halitosis. Dr. LaTorre treated me with Chiropractic adjustments, cold laser therapy and nutrition, as well as dietary counseling. After the first treatment, my headache went away and has not returned. The fogginess and blurred vision is gone also. What a huge relief after having such intense headaches everyday. I have reduced my high blood pressure back on my diabetic medication as I am getting my sugar levels under control using cold laser therapy and nutrition. My halitosis was gone after my second visit, to which my wife is extremely grateful. I am sure glad that I have come to LaTorre Wellness Center. Thank you Dr. LaTorre and your entire staff for putting me on the road to recovery!

Dr. LaTorre spent a lot of time with me. When I walked out, I felt much better and the next day I felt like I had a new body. I believe in Dr. LaTorre. He put the fun back in my life. I do believe in his great gift. He truly has magic hands! I would recommend his treatments to anyone.

My head doesn’t hurt any more I use to take 4 or 5 BC a day everyday without failed. Since I 've been going to Doctor LaTorre Wellness Center I don’t take them anymore. Thank you.
- Latreal
Excellent! First time in my life I could drink red wine. No more headaches or feeling bad!
- Cecilia
After the first treatment, the condition went away. I had allergies to certain things that they found. The experience with the treatment was very pleasant.
- Robert
I was simply miserable. My home was surrounded by oak trees and I thought my allergy to mold and pollen was beyond help. I was amazed after just a one hour treatment. What amazing relief!
- L.S.
I am writing to thank you so very much for changing mine and my husband's lives. When we initially met you on April 7th, 2008, we told you of our allergies and you said that you could change our lives, and you have. I have been allergic to albumin [egg white] since 1974 and for many years carried an Epipen. After one treatment in your clinic, I can now eat eggs, shellfish and peanuts. I no longer need to carry an Epipen, thank you for my new lease of life. My husband who has been a celiac sufferer since 1998 has resented eating gluten free products. Since your treatment, he can now eat anything that he likes. Our family and friends are amazed and still cannot believe it. Thank you once again for our new lease on life.

After moving to Florida from Canada three years ago, I was excited to live in such a tropical and warm environment. Unfortunately, I began suffering terribly from newfound allergies -- pollens, grasses, and trees here in Florida. I was getting terrible headaches, watery eyes, and having breathing problems. After visiting LaTorre Wellness, and having only one allergy elimination treatment, I am now symptom free. Now I enjoy my days outside without any problems.
- Lisa
It has been a joy at LaTorre Wellness. I have more energy and a mere positive attitude. My hair loss has stopped. I truly blessed to have found Dr LaTorre, Sonya, Rebecca, and the entire staff at the center.

: I have had stomach problems for years. It got to the point that my stomach would bother my no matter what I ate. After less than a month at Dr LaTorre’s my stomach is so much better. I actually feel like a normal person. Dr LaTorre & Rebecca have made my life so much better. This was my last resort & I wish I had known about the years ago. I had an allergy treatment which not only relieved my allergies but also helped my stomach. Now I don’t have to worry about what I am going to eat how its going to affect me. I know I’ll feel good finally.

As a pastor, I place my faith in God to heal my body, and was a little skeptical about going to Dr. LaTorre at first. I never had been to a wellness doctor and I went into this with the attitude that our relationship would probably not last long. In my line of work, I try to make believers out of people. Dr. LaTorre made me a believer in what he not only practices, but what he believes in as well. I am better and much healthier because of what this man believes in. In my visits, I have seen people healed with my own eyes and Dr. LaTorre has brought me a long way with taking care of myself. I know that because of Dr. LaTorre, I will live longer and healthier from what I have learned. I just feel so much better and have more energy to serve my church because I take better care of my body
- Stan

Have found everyone professional, helpful, friendly, caring. I feel better in my attitude and my energy. My blood sugar is down by 25 points or more consistently. I have changed my eating habits and I just feel like getting up in the morning.

I thank the Lord for Dr LaTorre and his staff especially his assistant Rebecca. They have been there for me these four months. With the adjustments, cold laser, foot bath and last but not least the prayers. I have had a great improvement in my health. However, because of the cold laser I have had a miraculous change in my I.B.S.

My wife Helen was in a nursing home and failing fast. I was not given much hope by the doctors and staff there. Helen suffered a stroke and was all curled up in a fetal position and feeding tube, and catheter. She babbled senselessly and non-stop. She had been this way for two years getting progressively worse. I was desperate and began to search for someone, some treatment anything that could work. I found Dr La Torre in St Petersburg.
Just by me speaking on the phone telling him about my wife, he agreed to drive over to the nursing home in Tampa and treat my wife with cold laser therapy. I had never heard of it before but I was willing to try something new. I wanted my wife back. Dr La Torre came once or twice a weekend and treated my wife's brain with this laser. Almost immediately, she stopped the babbling and could communicate with me! Five months later, my wife is off her feeding tube, her catheter, and home for Christmas with the family. Tears fill my eyes as I tell you this is the greatest Christmas gift ever! Thank you Dr. LaTorre. I am eternally grateful.

I can smell again! No pain! No surgery! About five years ago after a bout with a severe head cold in which I used an over-the-counter zinc-based inhaler, I lost my sense of smell. It was truly a devastating event in my life and after five years, I thought my sense of smell was gone forever. Imagine not being able to smell flowers, food. Nothing! After one session with Dr. LaTorre with cold laser technology, I began to feel a tingling sensation in my nasal passages. Within minutes, I was able to distinguish differences in aromas. Little by little, my sense of smell has been improving. Dr. LaTorre was respectful to my situation and the emotional impact that comes with losing something as important as sense of smell. Thanks for returning hope and my sense of smell.
