    Over and Above My Expectations...Which Were High at the Start

    I came to see Dr. Mulvaney for knee PRP having been living with osteoarthritis of my knee for over a decade and had 5 PRP treatments previously from two other providers. At the initial consult, Dr. Mulvaney was incredibly thorough and generous with his time and expertise. In fact, we ended up spending more time talking about some low back issues I was having (a recent MRI showed spondilolysthesis, a new finding for me). He treated me with prolotherapy for that (one treatment a month for 3 months). I have only very minor issues since with my back and am very happy with the results. Then came the knee PRP. I had two treatments about 3 months apart. My arthritis is rather extensive but I am fit and active and want to stay that way. After treatment 1, things were better, but not better enough so we did a second treatment. With more advanced arthritis, multiple treatments are often warranted. The improvement after the second treatment was significant and pronounced.

    Very professional and detail oriented experience by a true expert

    I previously had this procedure provided by another provider and I can say first hand that Dr Mulvaney has a unique process that made the experience much more comfortable. I highly recommend making the trip to his office.

    He is very caring and very thorough. He has helped me and my husband so much. He has saved my husbands life. The SGB shot works and no one should have to struggle with PTSD. Thank you Dr. Mulvaney.

    Immediate relief of significant PTSD symptoms

    This is my second treatment for PTSD symptoms due to 9/11 military Tier 1/2/3 CT operations. The first treatment was an immediate and complete lift of the weight of PTSD which lasted a year. Dr. Mulvaney explained after the first treatment the symptoms could return due the nature of the trauma and that a second treatment could be needed. The first treatment results were so significant in the aspect of relief it was easy to decide to do it again. I cant thank Dr. Mulvaney enough for what he does. If you are having PTSD issues and are looking for that lifeline I would this is it. It works@

    Life Changing

    Dr Mulvaney is kind and really delved into treating my issues instead of putting a band-aid onto the problems. I went from a 47 to a 4 on the scale and I have seen a huge difference in my overall reaction to stress and anxiety levels are way down. My jaw was so tight prior to treatment and now afterwards I have zero popping and no pain in my jaw- that was a very nice unexpected side effect of SGB.

    Dr. Mulvaney and his staff are wonderful!

    For almost a year after I took a fall while camping I was unable to climb stairs. I had gone to numerous doctors and was told there was nothing to repair and that I would basically have to live with the pain. I researched and found Dr. Mulvaney and knew right away I needed to make an appointment. It has been 6 months and I am back to boating, exercising and climbing stairs! I highly recommend Dr. Mulvaney @ ROSM! Added bonus: Staff are awesome too,

    So fortunate to have found Dr. Mulvaney...he gave me my life back.

    I was in constant pain and unable to sleep on a bed for over a year, which meant fitfully trying to sleep on a hardwood floor, which was followed by an hour every morning laying on a heating pad. My active lifestyle was put on hold while I hobbled through the day finding relief only in opioids. After my three injections I am pain free, working out and going on 30 mile bike rides. I can't thank Dr. M and his team enough.

    This procedure can help you regain quality of life

    Dr. Mulvaney is truly a gifted physician. Beyond that he has great compassion for his patients. Yesterday I had my 1st SGB shot and when I arrived this morning for my second appointment, felt like I was near 100%. Dr. Mulvaney asked if I wanted the 2nd block and I decided to go ahead. I can't believe how much better I feel. My mind is so still that I can concentrate on my body and overall, I have a sense of well being that I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you Doc.

    Absolutely wonderful

    I have truly never met a doctor like Dr. Mulvaney. He genuinely cares about his patients and just wants to help as much as he can. The procedure went great, he talked me through it and spent time afterwards talking to me and making sure I was okay and comfortable. He was so attentive and kind, which means the world to some people going through this. I really cannot recommend him enough. This has been such an amazing experience and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

    A truly life changing procedure that I highly recommend for veterans dealing with PTSD.

    I saw Dr. Mulvaney 2 years ago and immediately saw results after my SGB. The results of this procedure are immediate and long lasting. I was able to reintegrate back into a productive member of society while coming off a slew of meds I was on for PTSD. If you or someone you know is dealing with the debilitating symptoms of PTSD i recommend reaching out to Dr. Mulvaney. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER. SFC (R) Chris, S OEF 1 OIF 1 OND

    Life giving

    I just completed my second SGB for PTSD. The first one was a major success. My anxiety and PTSD levels were max on measurable scales, after the first one my numbers dropped drastically. After the first shot, Dr Mulvaney challenged me to go live, to not be afraid of triggers. Accepting and living out that challenge I had a few triggers, but each time I was able to bring myself back down. Leading up to the second SGB my numbers had only slightly increased, but warranted another SGB. Needing a second SGB wasn't a failure, but proof that this method works and is part of the continued treatment that I needed due to how high my numbers were prior to the first SGB. After your first SGB it's a new life, you have to go live it, you have to get out in it and experience it without fear.

    Great experience....could feel difference immediately

    Great experience....explained everything in a very easy to understand way. I knew exactly what was happening and how this was affecting me. Really made this a simple and easy to understand procedure and something I would have know about a long time ago. If your on the fence I would contact Dr. Mulvaney. I probably looked at this procedure for over a year before committing and wish I had done it much sooner.

    Life Changing in a Great Way

    Doc Mulvaney did a great job of explaining what he was doing and what to expect and was spot on with his explanation of what the the results would be. He spent extra time with me in the room with me talking about my experiences and how the SGB changed my ability to cope with PTSD. I can't stress enough how great this process is.

    stunning positive turnaround in baseline intensity of emotions

    Dr. Mulvaney is a healer. He is articulate, kind, compassionate and highly skilled in administering the injections. He has empathy for anyone who has endured transference of trauma, and trauma itself, and afforded me immediate relief that cognitive therapy and medication, and unhealthy denial and coping mechanisms did not. I am grateful that he was brought into my life. He is allowing me to move forward and embrace life more fully.

    Dr. Mulvaney has an outstanding bedside manner and clearly cares about helping. He is patient, kind and thorough in his explanations. I felt safe and relaxed in his care.

    Amazing!!!

    Dr. Mulvaney is a is a skill professional who I have the utmost trust and confidence in as a medical provider. The SGB procedure I had was only possible through a grant provided by Troops First. To date it is the only treatment for PTSD that I have received that has worked. The block on the right side worked great and the block on the left side worked even better. I have not felt this good in 18 years!

    Career and Life Saving

    I've been a first responder for 12 years now. I've seen a lot in that time, however two years ago, I was involved in an incident that became life changing in the worst way. I've lost friends and relationships, as well as myself, and I was on the path to losing the career I've loved, as it now became something I dreaded facing everyday. Despite the many treatments I have tried to keep my PTSD symptoms at bay, trigger after trigger would rekindle the storm. That is when someone recommended SGB and Dr. Mulvaney. From the scheduling of the appointment to its completion, I cannot thank Dr. Mulvaney and his staff enough. For the first time in two years, and maybe even longer, I feel at peace and a calmness in life I have forgotten existed. I truly believe that I am now ready to face another day and continue to do the work and service I've dedicated my life to.

    Fantastic - The pain in my shoulder is gone and I have excellent range of motionion

    I am 74 years old and when I tore my rotator cuff and labrum I was devastated because my injuries were quite limiting and I am not a good candidate for shoulder surgery. Then I heard about Dr. Mulvaney's work with PRP injections into the shoulder joint to promote the body's ability to heal itself.. And it worked !!! Now I am able to resume the physical activity that adds so much to my quality of life.

    The most amazing treatment for my PTSD! Mulvaney is the real deal.

    The SGB is allowing me to become a more engaged Dad to my 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter. Yesterday, I spent most of the day in the pool with my kids at our Airb-n-b here in Annapolis...this would have been extremely difficult before due to my hypervigilence/hyperarousal, etc. This treatment works. I have suffered for over five years with severe PTSD. Dr. Mulvaney and his team gave me "another shot for life." Thankful. Blessed.

    Dr. Mulvaney Gave Me MORE Than Hope - He Gave Me My Life Back.

    Dr. Mulvaney is a gift for anyone and everyone - experiencing the life-altering effects of PTSD. He makes you feel at home, and he is by far, the most experienced in performing the SGB procedure. He is the teacher of the other doctors performing this procedure, except Dr. M has been doing it for decades and has actual, multiple published studies and data. His humility and bedside manner are what really makes the experience from start to finish, unlike any other, one that is a peaceful and comfortable one. The procedure was over before i knew it, and the effects are felt literally immediately. I recommend not waiting for things to "get or feel worse". Pick up the phone and take the first step. I have been struggling with life altering, debilitating symptoms for over 10 years. When I researched for other "non talk therapy" that would help PTSD, I never knew that I would not only be combating PTSD head on - I certainly never knew it was possible that I'd have my life back again.

    My experience with Dr. Mulvaney was life changing.

    I came in for help managing chronic neck pain. Dr. Mulvaney is extremely thorough with his care, He took the time listening to me and uncovered additional issues that were contributing to my pain. I had been suffering from PTSD for 12 years and my anxiety, and as result, my muscle tension was severe, Dr. Mulvaney performed SGB on me two months ago and I can confidently say that my life has changed dramatically for the better. Not only have I had a drastic reduction in my neck pain, but I am able to handle life better. I am able to process stressful situations before reacting and manage my life in ways I didn't know possible. My family, friends, and coworkers see the positive change in me and I truly can't thank Dr. Mulvaney enough.

    Outstanding experience for treating pain

    As retired military, I've spent 25 years carrying trauma pain pushing it down and moving on to perform. About 10 years ago, I sought treatment through therapy and medication. I've done breathing techniques, acupuncture, and other means for healing mind, spirit, and body. After a year of considering the treatment, I've followed through with having the procedure. My body immediately felt relaxed, so much so, I had the most restful sleep. I wish SGB information was available sooner as a tool to build back resilience that was chipped away over the years of service as a female working in the military. Cheers to coming out of the procedure stronger and better - wishing other ladies and veterans a shared similar outcome.

    Life changing- seriously

    I was always one to downplay the severity of my PTSD/anxiety; I thought that everyone had similar feelings of shame, fear and irritability and that it was me who was incapable of dealing with those, despite traumatic experiences. My experience with Dr. Mulvaney not only alleviated the guilt of those burdens, but allowed me to give myself the grace and understanding that I do not need to carry them any longer. If you are someone who has similar feelings or experiences, I can assure you there is no other procedure or medical doctor more equipped to shine the light on actually curing the symptoms of PTSD like Dr Mulvaney. I cannot be more grateful for the opportunity now to rewrite my thought patterns and repair relationships, it is beyond essential, in my opinion, for anyone in a similar position to seek his help. It'll be so worth it.

    Dr. Mulvaney changed my life. I came to his practice at the end of my rope. I am a combat Veteran and purple heart recipient, and my trauma left me with incredible anxiety and survivor guilt. Dr. Mulvaney explained the procedure clearly and took the time to answer all of my questions. Being a Veteran himself, he wants to take care of people like me.

    Getting the SGB was the best decision for me; I wish I would have done it sooner.

    Dr. Mulvaney is kind, caring, thorough, and skilled. He's a great listener and is very willing to answer all questions and concerns. He talked me through the entire procedure and even pointed out specifics on the ultrasound for me. I felt cared for and safe during and after the procedure. My only regret is that I didn't get the blocks sooner!
