TMJ alleviated!

by Acupuncture Chinese Herbs at Citysearch

After 1 treatment with Andrew to address my TMJ I experienced more positive results than the past 4 months of chiropractic and cranial work combined. The discomfort had become so bad and my jaw so out of whack that it had started to effect my hearing in my left ear. While waiting for my "emergency" appt. with an ENT specialist which is at the end of February I decided to try acupuncture. All I can say is, What a relief! Andrew did a combination of gentle massage on my jaw, neck and head and acupuncture. I could feel the difference already while on the table. I am continuing with weekly visits and so grateful and relieved to find relief after all of these months of discomfort and lack of progress. Jeanne A. NYC

I loved Andrew's weight loss method

by reginapuglia at Citysearch

My first meeting with Andrew was a hard one! He brought to my attention many of the reasons we gain weight (and the difference between how women gain weight compared to men) and his approach is different. He really helped me to see how it is always my responsibility and that I was able to find blame in every situation around me for my wieght gain instead of looking at myself as the sole reason. It was a hard but important lesson to look at. It was really my aw-ha moment. I saw Andrew for 3 months and lost a total of 39 lbs! I went down 3 dress sizes and I am so pleased with not only his acupuncture treatments but his constant motivation, encouragement and support he constantly offered. Five stars for Andrew for he is more than an acupuncturist and an herbalist, he is a rock of support, understanding and knowledge, as well as someone I really consider as a friend.

Great for Bodybuilders

by delts777 at Citysearch

I was recommended to Andrew from my trainer. He told me that Andrew was great at helping with injuries and speeding up recovery time. I thought I had torn my rotator cuff while lifting and the pain was very difficult for me to deal with, especially while working out. Andrew treated me with some acupuncture, light manipulation and he gave me herbs and two supplements to help my body recover faster. I did take 3 weeks off and during that time, I saw Andrew twice a week. In less than 5 weeks, I was back in the gym and training. Andrew explained to me how to care for my arm and shoulders and what the body needed in order to recover. Turns out, my rotator cuff was not torn but the entire attachment and surrounding muscles where inflammed with only minor tearing. Andrew got me through the pain, anguish and aggravation associated with this injury. I really felt great after treatments and he really knows the body well. I definitely recommend him to any guys (or girls) who are especially professional lifters, body builders or trainers. He talks our language.

IVF and acupuncture

by lenastoma at Citysearch

If I could give this doctor more than 5 stars, I would. He was incredible,accommodating, shared information freely and was very upfront. I found him through a recommendation from my fertility clinic at RMA. We did treatment before and after my procedure. It was the only thing I had done different from my other 4 attempts of just doing IVF alone. I am now 6 weeks pregnant and I could not be more happy. I need to thank RMA for the referral and the best part is, he takes my insurance.

Thank you, Andrew.

Waste of time and money

by abs6 at Citysearch

I completely agree with user rabbitrun64 titled "dubious reviews" for his profile under a different address. The dude writes his own reviews. I went to him with a certain painful condition that he told me he was an expert in. After first acupuncture session, I felt a temporary relief. The next day, pain was back as before. Encouraged by the first session, I was going to him every week, often twice a week, but didn't experience any noticeable relief any more. He gave me some herbs and showed some exercises, and encouraged me to continue seeing him for acupuncture. After a while, I realized I wasn't getting anywhere with this. I did my research, found some good books about my condition, and found a good physical therapist. With help of that therapist and special exercises that I found in the books, I began feeling much better, and I did not need any acupuncture. I felt betrayed by him. If he was an expert in that field like he said, why didn't he tell me about physical therapy? Knowing what I know now, acupuncture alone, even with those lame exercises that he showed me, would have NEVER EVER resolved my condition. He either knowingly withheld that information from me, or he just doesn't know what he is doing. And now I see he is jumping on the whole infertility wagon - just don't...
