E. L. Hollenberg, MD

"Dr. Hollenberg is a most conscientious individual and a very able physician. He has stressed the need for a high level of spirituality along with compassion and competence. His unique illustrations, his study of and use of words is an unusual but effective method of making his points. Its textbook-like material and presentation deserves the attention of both physicians and the public at large."

Dr. Hollenberg had been in private practice since 1955, including five years on the teaching staff at the University of Illinois School of Medicine Family Practice Residency program in Peoria, IL.
