In confronting a medical challenge, it is very helpful to have an expert on your side, advising you on how to best prepare your mind, body, and spirit to position yourself to achieve the best possible outcome. Dr. Wollman provided excellent advice on how to approach my cancer diagnosis, treatment, surgery, and post-surgical chemotherapy, and how to specifically prepare for all stages of the process. His advice was instrumental to maintaining a positive outlook throughout my experience.

Dr. Glenn Wollman helped my family and me through a very difficult time. I was diagnosed a year ago with Behcet’s Syndrome, a very rare auto-immune disease. This was after being mis-diagnosed and treated for Lupus for 9 months prior to that. In June 2013, I was very sick and getting sicker every day. The disease was attacking my colon and intestines, and the local doctors in my hometown of Fresno had run out of answers. I was transferred to Cedars-Sinai to be seen by one of the top auto-immune specialists in the country.
This is also where Dr. Wollman came in. Dealing with many doctors through several operations and a few close calls, Glenn was able to tie everything together and communicate to my family and me what was going on in plain English. He had access to my medical file as it grew thicker by the day, and was able to answer questions from several members of my family as they arose. He also acted as my advocate, making sure all the care providers involved were giving the best care possible. He was especially helpful seeing my wife through the whole process. She had a difficult time dealing with the whole process, and Glenn was as much help for her as he was for me.
He was always accessible by phone when a problem or question came up, and was always, without a single exception, positive and upbeat. He also shared with me his own inspiring story of the medical challenges he’s been through himself, which is no doubt the source of his tremendous empathy. Anyone facing a challenging health issue would benefit by having Glenn Wollman on the team.

When a very dear friend of mine fell desperately ill I was fortunate enough to know that Dr. Glenn was in the business of helping people through tough medical situations. I am very comfortable in stating that without Dr. Glenn’s vigilant, intelligent and compassionate guidance the outcome would have been very different and most likely terminal.
Glenn was not only their for the patient, he was a mentor and confidant of each and every person involved. His kindness combined with his common sense (something not so common in these situations) was appreciated and essential. In the confusing and frustrating world of modern medicine he was a god send. Frustration and anxiety are your constant companion and I witnessed Glenn’s magical calming influence bring peace and calm to what otherwise would have been a hopeless situation or feeling.
Who are we to question a doctors decision or nurse or even the nurse’s assistant. Some of them appear to know very little but the fact is it is still more than most of us. In these situations it is essential to have a trusted voice to answer your questions and most importantly question the medical staffs decisions. Dr. Glenn enabled the family support team to make a difference.
His authority and commonality with the medical staff was enabling, his knowledge facilitated better, more focused treatments, his perspective provided hope and patients when both were sparse. Without this advice, knowledge and leadership it would have been devastating for both the patient and the family.
I would highly recommend Dr. Glenn to any family that has a medical situation, especially if it required long term recuperation and care from multiple doctors.
Sincerely
Mick
I would most heartily recommend Glenn’s services as a health advisor to anyone facing a serious health issue. Being faced myself with a diagnosis of a potentially life threatening condition, I found consulting with Glenn a most powerful tool to have as I started facing a barrage of tests, surgical procedures and medications I had never heard of before. He helped me to be able to ask important questions of the doctors who would be taking care of me. He also opened my eyes to other possible paths to take as far as treatment and procedures. Also very important was what I will call holistic practices such as breathing meditation exercises and goal setting which just makes for a more centered and energized state to deal with life as a whole.
David Furumoto
Thank you again and again.
No one should be without a Medical Guide when you are or know a seriously ill person! And patient and proactive Glenn was ours. Glenn always had time for us. His expertise was that he talked to us and listened to the family’s concerns as we occasionally saw, heard or felt differently about what was happening. I believe our input made it possible for Glenn to see the family dynamics so he could, and did, make comments and suggestions to help us all cope and help in Don’s (my son in law) recovery. Glenn was immeasurably helpful for Don. He knew how to get Don to share his feelings (not an easy thing to do when Don was really, really sick) and he gave Don invaluable information on what to do to help in his own care (like drinking the dreaded cocktail) and recovery. Glenn provided the very important service of being Don’s advocate as he kept contact with Don’s doctors and the hospital. Along with Don’s team of doctors, Glenn was definitely a plus factor in helping Don on his road to wellness.
Personally, your availability and information meant the world to me.

Before working with Dr. Glenn Wollman on personal healthcare issues, I often wondered what it would be like to receive care from a highly qualified physician who also understood the critical importance of treating/healing the whole person– body, mind, heart and spirit. After decades of health issues, I had never once stumbled upon a doctor who responded to the human side of healing while not compromising his/her professional expertise.
Working with Dr. Wollman has comforted my fear of, and renewed my faith in the medical profession. He is available, listens carefully, asks the right questions in a sensitive manner, and then proceeds to offer, in highly comprehensible (but never patronizing) terms, an informed diagnosis as well as a number of alternative possibilities for approaching the problem.
His suggestions take into account the attitudes and disposition of the client; he understands that healing is affected by the state of mind and readiness of the ailing person, and that the client must ultimately understand and participate in his/her own wellness. All modes of healing capacities, in a balanced interaction between Dr. Wollman’s proficiency and the client’s needs, are explored.
“Compassionate” and “skillful” are the key words. I am deeply appreciative of the warmth and support I have received from Dr. Wollman in times of vulnerability and suffering. While this should be the prime agenda of the healthcare profession, it is ironic that a patient would feel so blessed to encounter a physician who still considers this his oath.

With the world of medicine changing so rapidly, we need increasing guidance in finding and selecting the best direction for our health and well-being. Dr. Wollman’s holistic understanding, combined with his intuition, draws from years of study of all levels of healing. Using his scientific medical knowledge as his background, he readily perceives, and guides, the direction that is best for his patients. He is the forerunner of this unique aspect of “medical guide”.
Trust is the single most important factor in a physician/patient relationship – this is easy to have with Dr. Wollman.Herbert M. Janklow, MD

Sleep Suite CD
I recommend whole-heartedly this wonderfully effective and soothing CD for anyone who wishes to experience relaxed meditation and restorative sleep. This first co-creation by Dr. Glenn Wollman and his award-winning musician cousin Terry Wollman is a welcome gift.
Chungliang Al HuangPresident,
Living Tao FoundationI promised I would get back with you re: your CD and it is EXCELLENT! I have used it several times and it works like a dream! In fact I have NEVER gotten past eight minutes of it! In the music biz, people know me as “The British Ambassador Of Soul,” the owner of soulmusic.com and the author of “The Soulful Divas”! And, my sister says that after years of sleep deprivation, the CD is doing wonders for her – so she thanks you too!

I enjoyed your Musical CD very much but the biggest hit was with our infant granddaughter. When she was upset and having difficulty sleeping we would put the CD on and she calmed down almost instantly. MAGICAL!

During a Reiki session, the goal is for the client to enter a deep state of relaxation, enabling their body to heal itself as it is meant to. Along with the Universal Life Energy that flows through them, the “Sleep Suite” CD helps them reach this state of deep relaxation, often within minutes.

Dr. Robert Ginsberg, Director

Humanities and Value InquiryWhen I was reviewing the Morpheus cut, I fell asleep! Do not play this CD at work. I did, and suddenly realized I had fallen asleep at my desk and had to start the CD over again to review it. This CD is dangerous and should not be played at the same time as driving, or operating heavy earthmoving equipment! It is the most relaxing music I have ever encountered, and I have been a Taoist/Buddhist for decades, exposed to innumerable selections of music for meditation and quieting the mind. Wollman’s CD is a wonderful preparation for any activity in which a calm mind is an advantage or in which the dimension described as “Flowing with Golden Stream—Flying with Celestial Cranes” is to be experienced.

I get exercise and eat fairly healthy, so when I entered menopause and had difficulty sleeping I was very frustrated. Your “Sleep Suite” CD has gently guided me to a serene and restful sleep and I am now able to start my day more energized and on top of my game. I’m looking forward to even more success than I already have now that I have added this level of balance to my life.

When the soul seeks repose and immersion in a tranquil environment to engage the healing processes of sleep, one could hardly find a better aid than the “SLEEP SUITE” compositions of Glenn and Terry Wollman. Through the creation of harmonic relationships that erase the frenetic pulses of awake awareness, these sounds easily induce a serenity that is, indeed, “a balm for sore minds.” Cheers and thanks for sharing,
Gene R. Kelley
Human Factors Consultant (Santa Barbara, California)I haven’t slept this well in a long time as when I’m listening to “Sleep Suite”. Perhaps you should market it in DC and NYC as the “anti-terrorism go to peaceful sleep and forget about it” CD. I haven’t had such crystal clear good dreams for a long time either. Please thank the dream doctor for me. I conscientiously DON”T listen to it when I WANT to worry/think about work in my sleep, which I do, because then, I don’t.

I have recommended to all my friends, even for their rowdy cats. This CD will put your beast to sleep.
