Dr. Kilcup can help you find real answers

Chronic conditions are often a result of more than one component of the body not working correctly. I see many patients who have been to one or more doctors without finding relief. Usually the other doc has treated PART of the patient’s problem but neglected other dysfunctional components. As a result, the patient either experienced partial relief or no relief at all. Every part of the system is as important as another because they work together. Just like baking a cake, every ingredient is important if you want to get a delicious dessert. I find that if we identify and address every aspect of the patient’s problem we get excellent results.

If this is you, you are not alone and I can help

I work with people all over the country and I am passionate about bridging the best of safe, effective, wholesome healthcare with rock solid science.

Our Approach

You want a doctor to listen intently to you. You want a doctor to be honest, and if you can be best helped somewhere else, refer you to the appropriate professional. You want a doctor to honor you by explaining, to your satisfaction, what your problem is and the best treatment options. You don’t want a cookie cutter approach to care. You want a doctor who is just as concerned about saving you money as you are. You want the doctor to treat you exactly like he or she would want to be treated. How’s that? This is what I strive to do with each and every patient.

I have been going to Dr. Kilcup for several months now and the change has been tremendous. Among other things, I had severe menstrual cramps, migraines, hair loss, exhaustion, anxiety, and brain fog. I had been to several different doctors and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. Dr. Kilcup actually took the time to speak with me regarding all of my issues and then ordered testing to verify the problems. He didn’t just write me off, or order one blood test and tell me everything was fine. He cares about his patients and wants to help them have a better quality of life. I can tell you that almost all of my issues are better or gone. I’ve never been able to work out because I felt so terrible all the time and now I’m training for a half marathon! I’ve never felt this good in my entire life and it’s honestly thanks to Dr. Kilcup.

I went to Dr. Kilcup originally for help with insomnia. I would get 1-3 hours of sleep every night at the most. Also, every time I ate I would feel really sick. Obviously I couldn’t stop eating and I needed to sleep eventually so I went to Dr. Kilcup for help. He asked me about my symptoms and was able to quickly diagnose me. He was great about being up front with me and explained his conclusion in a way I would understand. Then, he got me on an all natural plan to fix it. This involved a strict diet and natural supplications. Although it wasn’t fun cutting half my diet out, I felt so incredible after a month and it was easier after that. I was sleeping at least 5 hours a night easy, and I didn’t feel sick at all! I finally felt normal! I would definitely recommend Dr. Kilcup for anyone who would like a natural fix for digestion problems.
