I healed very quickly and because of his treatment I was left with a minimal amount of scarring. He is a kind, gentle practitioner who really perfects his craft using various techniques and achieves great results. Subsequently, Stas treats my left knee which swells and becomes very painful from arthritis. Acupuncture has allowed me to manage my pain and avoid surgery.

I was a complete skeptic when it came to acupuncture and had a fear of needles. Dr. Zhang changed…read morethat. It was incredible that with just a few treatments my sciatica was cured. After months of not being able to sleep without pain, I was finally able to sleep through the night.

I solemnly swear that every word in this unbelievable review is true. Dr. Zhang was NOT on Yelp, so…read moreI decided to remedy that. I am 70 years old. My wife, Stephanie dragged me to see Dr. Z. This was because our 92 year old friend, Al, looks and acts like he is in his 50s. His secret is Dr. Z. I told Stephanie, "I have tried acupuncture; it is OK, I'll probably feel a little better, but I can't afford it." When she said she'd pay, I was in. I have lots of health issues, but I told Dr. Zhang that my biggest issues were 10 years of chronic fatigue; and because I only take Wellbutrin (refusing SSRIs) 65 years of depression. At least that's what the therapists say. Now they think it is probably "General PTSD." After Dr. Z stuck a few needles in me, for the first time in my life, I felt energy flowing through me. I wanted to jump up and do something productive. Then I felt relaxed and fell asleep. When I awakened, I was no longer depressed at all and I felt less fatigue. The next morning I woke up feeling like I was 20 years younger, and happier than I had ever been. The second morning I was not quite so happy, and only 10 years younger, until time for that day's appointment. Since then I've had 2 more appointments (First appt. was on Th, then Sa, T and today, Th.) I have been incredibly happy for the last five days, with no fatigue anymore and accomplished lots of things that I had been procrastinating. Furthermore, I am not experiencing the sleep difficulties that I've had for the last 18 months. Yesterday I awakened at 4am feeling ready to go. Worked 16 hours straight then went to sleep at 8am. Slept all the way through until 4am. Now I am finishing up another 16 hours of accomplishments, minus the 30 minutes of being stuck by needles. I felt so good that I was able to get my old 1995 car started, bully it through Mass Inspection (2 months too late) and trade it for a 2005 truck that I had decided to buy months ago. I told my daughter Michele that I had never been happier in my life, and that if I was any happier, I would be manic. Her comment: Well Dad; you DID go out and buy a big truck!" lol Today, Dr. Z said for me to drop down to just 2 appointments per week. He says that eventually the body will "forget" how it used to misfunction and I will only need 1 appointment every 4-8 weeks. Depending upon genetics, most people take 4-6 visits are more to get my kind of results according to Dr. Z. He says 15% of people are genetically not suited for acupuncture and will never get results. I think that this will be Dr. Z's first Yelp review. I'm going to see if Stephanie will write one, and maybe Al's 88-year old wife, Norma, who also looks in her 50s. Maybe even Al! What a hoot if the four of us are his first four reviewers.

Several months ago, I came across an article about Rui (Acupuncture & Qigong for Integral Health)…read morein the Shoppers News. I have been suffering from chronic pain since last July 2013 slip & fall accident. After seeing several doctors, several MRIs, c-scan, physical therapy, chiropractor, and lastly resorting to epidural steroid injections in my neck, I was still in chronic pain. Nothing seemed to help me get sustained relief. The pain quickly returned. I have seen other acupuncturists in my lifetime, but I think Rui is by far the best. Rui gave me an hour acupuncture treatment on a Friday in April 25, 2014. She knew I was having total knee replacement on Monday, April 28, and she wanted to help me as much as possible to have a speedier recovery from the TKR. She was very thoughtful and kind. She took more time with me. Rui is a very compassionate human being. She really genuinely cares about people. I did not feel rushed or anxious, etc. I felt completely relaxed during the treatment. Almost immediately, I noticed benefits from the acupuncture treatment. Two months later, my left knee is now considered my good knee. It is amazing how much better I feel compared to first surgery (where I had no acupuncture treatment). There is no doubt in my mind that because of the marvelous acupuncture treatment Rui gave me three days prior to surgery, my recovery was expedited at least hundred-fold. I am OVER THE MOON with joy of the way I feel today. And I owe a BIG THANK YOU to Rui of Acupuncture & Qigong for Integral Health in Arlington, MA for helping me out in my time of need. If you are in chronic pain or have other health problems, Acupuncture & Qigong for Integral Health in Arlington, MA can help you feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Thank you for reading my unbiased review.

I began my sessions with Peter at the urging of a colleague and fellow musician who instinctively…read moreseemed to know what I needed. My playing (piano) and singing began to feel very disconnected and I really felt like a was falling apart spiritually, and mentally too. I didn't know what was happening and to that end I didn't know what I needed in order to " get better". I just knew I couldn't go on in the state I was. I call what Peter did for me "intunation". Because through acupuncture and herbal medicines, My mind body and soul became and continues to grow more integrated. Like the fine tuning of a violin string. The resonation in my mind, heart and solar plexus (gut) seem more aligned and focused and I no longer feel out of control on gigs like I had been BEFORE my work with Peter. I Highly recommend both him and his wife Jamey for deep healing.

It's been 19 years this week since we almost lost our daughter. She was 4 years old at the time. We…read morehad been road tripping back from Washington, DC when she needed to keep using the bathroom. That in itself was not so peculiar but it was the speed in which it came on. By Connecticut I could tell she had a fever. We hightailed it home, used Tylenol and raced her in the next morning. She was much better and we thought it was the flu and went home. That night her fever was very high again so we rushed in the next morning. Dr. Garber did some tests and we left. I was about 3 miles away when he called and said head straight to Framingham Union, pass admissions and go straight to Pediatrics where they are waiting for you. Immediately she was hooked up to IV's and passed out. Within ten minutes Dr, Garber was there to tell us she was in Sepsis. The hospital set up the room for us. A real bed for my husband and i slept with my daughter. The next day Dr. Garber came in and told us she was resistant to the antibiotics and let us know it might be very bad. I'm not sure if people can grasp those words and the desperation involved. He came to the hospital frequently for us. Our daughter was sleeping with tubes in her arms thus far. In the next 2 days the new antibiotic was taking effect which was visible as well. Princess Diana had dies that week and all the TV news was covering that. Within the next 2 days my baby had woken up and wanted to watch Pocohantes non stop. After she was better he explained what caused it and how she would grow out of it. After 3 years of testing she was over it and we had a pill funeral where we laid to rest her remaining bottles. I NEVER doubted Dr. Garbers competency or care. I've lived all over the country since then and have never had a more competent Pediatrician for my child. I've heard the complaints and have even heard him but when the rubber hits the road I would rather have a great Doctor than one who has to think about the best words to use. Doctor Garber saved my child's life and I do not think some of the subsequent Doctors could have done it.

After many years w Dr Garber as our pediatrician he was rude and condescending to me one last time,…read moreand so we have now moved to another practice and are very happy. We stayed because although his bedside manner has always left a lot to be desired, he is apparently is a very smart doctor. And the nurses and office staff are great. Sometimes that just doesn't cut it though. We are not a family who visits often-he actually used to comment that we see him almost exclusively at well child visits only. We are not parents who fuss over nothing. Be warned, if you haven't explained your concerns in 10 words or less he will cut you off and tell you he doesn't have time to listen to you. As our children are now adolescents we want a doctor who they can feel comfortable enough to chat with and ask questions. Dr Garber is not the man for this!! I know of 2 other families who have changed practices because of Garber and countless others who switched to other doctors within his office. As far as the other docs at F'ham pedi go-they are great, the women especially. Unfortunately for us Garber was the only one taking new patients all those years ago when we had our first child!
