Joe has never been dry at night. At the first meeting, he talked with Dr. Lazarus and received some “homework.” When he returned the following week, he had been dry five out of seven nights! At the second visit, he learned self-hypnosis-and he has been dry ever since.

I had migraines once a day with a really bad one maybe twice a month. After seeing Dr. Lazarus two times, sessions, I haven’t had a migraine since. Dr. Lazarus really helped me out a lot.
