Sound Clinic

i’m not someone who often writes Unilocal reviews, or any review for that matter, but I feel that I would be neglectful not to write one.
I can’t speak about all the physicians or staff of the Sound Clinic, as my experience was limited to Dr. Shawn Naylor, but I have only positive things to say. The Sound Clinic is a Holisitc/​Naturopathic clinic and as such they have a broad approach to both diagnostic and treatment procedures. Dr. Shawn Naylor always took the time to consider all the test results, and the symptom severity when meeting with me, and treating my condition. While some of his procedures may seem unorthodox to someone who’s used to a more traditional medical approach, the results speak for themselves.
I began seeing Dr. S. Naylor approximately 5 years ago, after a sudden onset of paresthesia left me in a constant state of anxiety, discomfort, and pain. I took the traditional medical approach at first, seeking the guidance of my primary physician, multiple neurologists, and even going so far as being placed on the wait list for the Mayo Clinic. My symptoms at the time didn’t conform to any one specific diagnosis according to the other «traditional» doctors (by traditional i’m referring to the non-​holistic medical professionals). When I went to Dr. S. Naylor the first visit, I had already stumped several neurologists, but my paresthesia was severe enough I couldn’t dress my child, or type long enough to continue working.
Fortunately despite my own skepticism, Dr. Sean Naylor’s medical recommendations worked. I took the medications as prescribed (both holistic and prescription) and within 2 months my symptoms had dramatically improved. A year later, I was doing so well that when my family moved across the country, Dr. Naylor and I were confident that if i continued the last course of recommended treatments that I should be in the clear, and I was for another 3 years.
3 years later I returned with a new equally baffling condition. I had developed corneal inflammation in my right eye due to a viral outbreak. After a year of treatment with traditional physicians I again turned to Dr. Sean Naylor, and again within 2 months of treatment there was no sign of viral outbreak. In essence, Dr. Sean Naylor did in months what other physicians (specialists mind you) weren’t able to do in years. I continued treatment with Dr. S. Naylor for an additional 10 months until he gave me the final and most desired «all clear.»
While I still can’t explain or even logically reason to myself how muscle testing works, and better yet how it informs the Dr of what I needed, but despite my skepticism with the methodology, and the treatment… it worked! I have no greater praise to offer than I’m symptom free, and I’v remained that way for over a year.

We are very fortunate to have found these doctors. Most doctors (and we have seen many in multiple US states) do not take an open minded positive approach to healing. We love their holistic and friendly approach to solving medical problems. Their mix of learning about our symptoms and applying their vast knowledge give us confidence we are doing everything possible towards curing difficult, complex diseases. Our lives have improved DRAMATICALLY after treatment from the Sound Clinic.

My husband and elementary aged daughter have been going to Sound Clinic for about a year. Between the two of them, we have seen three practitioners. Dr. Lindsay Naylor and the PA Amie have given my husband’s quality of life back from debilitating pain, without all the pain killer meds his old Dr. was masking the problem with. My husband has been very happy with his care by both practitioners. They have always taken their time and given him honest and quality care, even when it wasn’t all good news. My preteen daughter has been seen by Dr. Sean Naylor but mostly Amie, PA. It has been a long, hard and expensive road (insurance doesn’t cover a lot) to improvement for my daughter but well worth our patience and diligence following Amie’s treatment plan. She changed my daughter’s life after discovering a genetic mutation causing nutrient deficiencies. My daughter is more focused than ever and is finally keeping up with other kids in her class. We are so thankful to have found the Sound Clinic. I was sad to read a negative review and hope it doesn’t keep others from the life improving experience we have had there. It is evident when a person complains at having to leave a message that the person requires instant gratification. One visit and a script doesn’t solve complex problems. We’ve spent so much time, effort and money but would do it again for the life improvements for my daughter and husband.

Shawn Naylor saved my daughter’s life. She lost 10 years of her life to misdiagnoses and doctors who were completely unequiped to treat her. We saw doctors all over the country. Four years ago my daughter began to feel she was losing her ability to walk. Three years ago we found Dr Naylor. In two weeks my daughter leaves for college and has a very bright future. Our experience is nothing short of a miracle.

Colorado is fortunate to have the Sound Clinic. The staff is compassionate, friendly, and skilled. Our insurance is accepted and filed there which has been a key factor for our family. While we don’t have a personal account of Amie, those we have referred speak highly of her. Dr. Shawn and Lyndsay Naylor provide exceptional health care. They can explain a concept in great detail or break it down into simple explanations. I appreciate their efforts to recognize that a patient has an intelligent and active role in their health. As a patient you will be treated with dignity and respect. They make the time to sincerely listen to your concerns. Both will think «outside the box» if necessary to explore solutions to your issues. As a licensed professional myself, I admire their quest to stay current with research and information; this factor maintains my confidence in their practice.
For a year and a half, Dr. Lyndsay has been the primary care provider for myself and three of my children. She continues to manage our healthcare with positive outcomes. Lyndsay’s approach establishes trust and she engages my kids so well that they look forward to their appointments. Her excellent OMT skills have brought relief to my daughter’s braces adjustments as well as, an overall benefit to our health every time we leave her office.
Just as educators differ on the best approach to teach students, physicians also take various approaches to heal patients; results are the key. We have experience with a Missouri physician who believes that thyroid issues should be a clinical diagnosis; his decades of work have shown him that he should treat to the patient rather than the labs exclusively. Many of the infections that Dr. Shawn Naylor treats are also based on a clinical diagnosis. We have family members who have been CDC positive and those who have been negative, but all have seen improvement of symptoms due to his care.
Our society is extremely mobile; infections can be picked up through travel, in vitro, blood transfusions, etc. Thoroughly do your research with caution. Some of these infections are not well known either by the public or medical community. One of my friends is an ER nurse manager at a large hospital in Colorado Springs; she had never heard of three of my infections nor did she realize how symptoms vary in people. One of our daughters was CDC positive with very few symptoms. Our son was a successful engineering student who developed memory issues, fatigue, and headaches. One physician wanted to put him on anti depressants rather than figure out the cause; Dr. Naylor knew the cause of the rash he had and after a few months of treatment, his symptoms improved. We had taken our other daughter to 16 different providers looking for answers to her symptoms. A Boulder doctor referred us to Sound Clinic, and she credits Dr. Naylor with «saving» her life.
I believe that if a doctor had diagnosed me sooner, my need for 14 of my 15 costly surgeries could have been avoided. Affordability is an issue and a conscientious choice. During treatment you may have to decide to buy solutions for your health instead of $ 30 – 60 for clothing, the movies, or a restaurant expense. Good health is PRICELESS.
I have dealt with physicians in ten different states and in Germany; some of them are Northwestern in Chicago, Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, and Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The Naylors continue to prove that their abilities are among the best. Our family highly recommends the Sound Clinic; you will feel like you have a provider that is your ally.

I made an appointment (several months out was the earliest available) with the sound clinic after hearing that dr. naylor might be someone who could help with my ibs symptoms. The first and only thing they sent me as pre-​appointment paperwork was a lyme disease questionaire… for my ibs?
My girlfriend was also referred to dr. naylor for gastrointestinal symptoms, and was able to see him first. After initally pawning her off on his mother, who did «muscle-​testing» to give a diagnosis of h pylori (for which naylor prescribed dual antibiotics despite negative stool tests), he then treated her for «candida overgrowth,» which we have learned since is extremely rare and would have shown up visually on her previous colonoscopy (it had not, but he treated her with both rx drugs and very expensive homeopathics he sells at his practice).
When he then was unsuccessful in treating the very real c diff infection caused by his previous treatment of phantom conditions, he showed his true colors and presented the trojan horse that clearly keeps him in business– a lyme disease diagnosis. Using very expensive lab tests that were not covered by insurance, a type only one suspect lab in the country uses, he diagnosed my girlfriend with Lyme disease.
So, why the one star? If I could give zero, I would. She had never presented any of the tell tale symptoms of lyme. The PA at the clinic told us that 90% of their patients have Lyme disease. Any reputable source (cdc, american infectious diseases society, numerous articles and statistical studies) would state the incidence of Lyme disease contracted in Colorado is zero. The ticks here don’t transmit it. So somehow, all of Dr. Naylor’s patients must be traveling to the east coast to get tick bites that they don’t notice, then contracting a type of lyme that doesn’t present any of the usual symptoms, then somehow only DO Naylor with a degree from Touro University College (heard of it?) can save the day. Either that, or a Lyme diagnosis keeps patients in treatment for years, and provides a very expensive excuse to prescribe treatments that insurance doesn’t cover. By the way, we took the lyme results to the infectious disease department at UCLA and they confirmed they are 100% negative.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from this practice. While it is nice to have someone enthusiastic about treating you when you’ve gone undiagnosed for any period of time, this is someone who clearly takes advantage of desperate and sick people. If you have had a hard time finding help for your symptoms, see some specialists at Anschutz or another trusted institution. Please don’t waste your time or money on this crook.
