Lou Bierman, DO, has been my personal physician for about 20 years. His office has been at the same location in Victorian Commons in Langhorne, Pa., for longer than that. He is a local guy who set up his medical practice to serve the people of the Newtown area. He knows the community, and his patients well. He always amazes me with his vast wealth of medical knowledge. He not only sizes up my condition quickly, orders the right tests, and diagnoses with empirical and intuitive accuracy, but then can prescribe exactly the right medicine. He seems to have memorized the PDR(Physician’s Desk Reference — the doctor’s bible.). More than that, he is open to alternative medicine and treatments. When I suffered herniated disks and the orthopedic surgeons recommended surgery, he supported my quest for another way. When I found a Chinese doctor in New York capable of treating me with aggressive massage and acupuncture, which relieved my symptoms for several years now, he was pleased to know such remedies were effective, and promised to consider them with other patients. What more could I want in a doctor? He’s my kind of healer.
