Jeanne Andrews is a well-seasoned acupuncturist. Her skill set across the board of very comprehensive. She has a genuine healing nature and leaves no stone unreturned when it comes to partnering with her clients. I left my treatment feeling relaxed, but energized. I could not even feel the needles when she placed them on me. So glad to have her in my neighborhood! Thanks Jeanne! read more

I've on been twice to see Sharon Sherman at Empirical Point acupuncture and I am very impressed with her ability to use her practice to alleviate my pain/discomfort. If you are in need of expert professional to get relief from neck, back or other musculoskeletal symptoms I highly recommend this practice read more

I went to Sharon after suffering for years with upper right quadrant pain. After getting nowhere with G.I. guys I'd thought I should try something different. Luckily I found Sharon. Not only did she treat me with acupuncture which helped ease my pain right away, she then sent me to a massage therapist who focused on facia work. I am most impressed that Sharon is willing to suggest other treatments with another professional! Who does that?!!! After two treatments each I have felt better than I have in years! I no longer have to compensate for my ULQ pain and I'm able to move with ease at last! Thank you, Sharon. read more

Honestly I just cant say enough about working with Empirical Point Acupuncture. Sharon has helped me deal with a so many different issues from hot flashes to migraines and plantar fasciitis! It is so worth the money to have a private, relaxing, professional place for acupuncture. read more

I highly recommend Sharon Sherman to anyone seeking acupuncture treatment. She's extremely professional, helpful and friendly. She has been my acupuncturist for over 2 years and she always goes above and beyond researching symptoms I have or providing alternative treatment options to help avoid the side effects of prescription treatments. She treats me for migraines related to PMS symptoms and I have not had one intense migraine since I started seeing her. Like many, I still suffer from the odd headache, but her treatment has been very effective for me. For those who are hesitant to try acupuncture, don't! You do not feel the needles at all and it's actually quite relaxing. I always leave my treatment with renewed energy and focus. Acupuncture for life! read more

I was referred to Sharon by a new acquaintance about ten years ago when I was unable to move my right arm more than a few inches because of a problem with my shoulder that hadn't responded to almost 2 years of other treatments. The problem was gone after my first visit. Since then, I've come to rely on her extensive knowledge and talent not only for pain relief, but for GI and numerous other issues as well. She's absolutely the best diagnostician I've ever encountered and genuinely cares about her clients. She responds quickly to my pleas for help and I'm always delighted to hear similar accolades from friends I've referred to her. She's incredible. read more

I call Sharon before I call my doctor, most of the time. Over the 5 years I've known her, she has helped me through many small crises, and one major one: when I was about 7 months pregnant, I fell and injuried my arm. Sharon treated me and in a very short time I had full range of motion and no pain! Sharon has a firm grasp on the academia of Chinese medicine, but more than that, she has keen intuition and a very comfortable, salt-of-the-earth way about her. I trust her expertise and her advice on any topic, actually, not just my health. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone and everyone! read more

I'm so incredibly grateful that I connected with Sharon . Not only is she very professional, she has a vast knowledge about various medical issues. She takes a lot of time to listen to your needs and concerns and never rushes you through your session. Sharon herself has a calm, pleasant demeanor. She is a skilled practitioner and was very gentle during my acupuncture treatment. Her office space is spotless with a relaxed, tranquil feel to it. Another plus is the ample parking and easy accessibility to her office. read more

I love going to acupuncture. There, I said it. I first went to see Sharon about 10 months ago for help with some running injuries that were nagging and not getting any better. With the help of acupuncture and herbs, my recovery time was much faster than my docs expected and helped me get back to running really quickly. She's also been working with herbs to treat my Raynaud's--which I haven't found ANY good treatments for besides what we've got going (I had a doctor write a prescription saying "Move to CA" before). They aren't super tasty, but being able feel my fingers and toes all winter is pretty cool! She's one of the first medical professionals I've ever worked with who I feel like listens to what I'm saying and cares about finding answers and solutions. Her genuine, candid approach is comforting and makes me look forward to treatments. Highly recommended! read more

Sharon is incredibly skilled as a practitioner of acupuncture, and as a healer, she truly cares about her patients. I started seeing her when recovering from Lyme Disease. My energy was quite low at the time, and it has improved drastically since. Her treatments have not only helped me physically, but she has also empowered me to make many positive changes in my own lifestyle that support my overall vitality and well-being. Because of her many years of experience and study with master teachers, you can't really find many other practitioners as well versed as Sharon when it comes to acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and essential oils. She brings that knowledge, along with her compassion and sense of humor - much needed in any healing process, to the treatment room. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for truly holistic care. read more

I love Sharon! She reminds me that there's a lot of room for humor in healing and her treatments always leave me feeling better. I love her office and her treatment tables are so comfortable. She helped me feel better during a really challenging time with my health and also encouraged my personal growth as well. Highly recommend Empirical Point Acupuncture. read more

Sharon has changed my life. I started my journey here when I was working through a pinched nerve in my neck, in addition to a lifetime of back pain. I went from Frankenstein to full range of motion in 2 weeks, and I was sold on how incredibly talented and well versed Sharon is. She truly cares about the well being of her clients and will not sell any snake oil. You can trust that she has only your best interests at heart. I leave the office feeling like a million bucks (and somewhat like jello) every time. read more

Empirical Acupuncture is the best medicine you'll ever need. I've been going for several years and Sharon Sherman is the best! Sharon has helped my sinus congestion issues, sore muscles and arthritic knee. I highly recommend Empirical Acupuncture. The atmosphere is quiet, relaxing and calming. Sharon really listens and offers her expertise without fail. Get to Empirical Acupuncture asap-don't delay!! read more

Prior to seeing Sharon at Empirical Point, LLC, I had been receiving acupuncture treatments--with mixed results. I had no energy, and I kept on getting sick. I was averaging a cold/flu once every 4 or 6 weeks for about six months, and each illness would be worse than the last. As a result, I was physically drained and my overall attitude wasn't particularly pleasant. I started seeing Sharon about 4-5 months ago for some relief, and I can sincerely say, there has been a drastic improvement in how I feel. Thanks to Sharon I am no longer getting sick, and my energy level is beginning to improve. What I appreciate the most about Sharon is her expansive knowledge of Eastern medicine, accompanied by an in depth knowledge of Western medicine. In my previous experience with acupuncture practitioners, there seemed to be a negative view of Western medicine. Sharon's respect for the benefits of both forms of medicine is what makes her such a great practitioner. She is incredibly intelligent, and possesses such a down to earth attitude. I thoroughly enjoy my regular appointments with her, and look forward to them. I also find that she is really in tune to, not only my physical condition, but my mental and emotional states as well. There have been times when I've needed to vent, and she listens, offering bits of advice and wittiness. Sharon's got a fantastic sense of humor, so there have been many times when I've been able to laugh off whatever was bothering me. I can't say enough about how much Sharon has helped me in the past few months. In so many ways, my treatments have changed the quality of my life. She is a methodical practitioner who sincerely cares about the overall health of her patients. (I was impressed to find out that my treatments have been planned in advance.) If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Sharon is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her to any and everyone looking for an awesome acupuncturist!!!! read more

There are a lot of quacks out there in the acupuncture and alternative medicine arena: Sharon Sherman isn't one of them. She is well trained, down to earth, and effective. She does a more thorough intake than any doctor I've ever been to and takes the time to listen to her clients. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are the best option for a wide range of chronic conditions and pain that Western medicine just can't seem to treat effectively. She has helped me and I've watched her work magic with my boyfriend and best friend. read more

You need to go here!. I first went to Sharon Sherman 8 years ago while I was experiencing knee pain. To say that I don't like needles is a understatement. Sharon soon put me at ease with a combination of professionalism, warmth, knowledge and humor. Since then she has treated me for back, stomach, sleep and general life issues with great success. Sharon will take the time to get to know you, assess the problem that you are experiencing and fix it. It's that simple. It isn't magic, it is simply someone who has the knowledge and the compassion to heal. Sharon has been a blessing in my life as well to anyone I have referred to her. read more

Sharon Sherman is truly gifted and knowledgable in the art of acupuncture and herbs. I have been going for several years and I can't believe the difference it has made in my body for deep healing. I am so thankful to have her in my life to continue my healing process. Thank you Sharon. read more

Writing this review for my fiancé. He had never had acupuncture done before but was desperate for relief of a pinched nerve in his shoulder. I found this place on google. Not only was the price the most reasonable around but Sharon was incredible. So friendly and accommodating. The office was beautiful and his shoulder pain is GONE! He almost couldn't believe it. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be returning. She helped him but she helped me even more, because now he can actually get out of bed haha. Thanks, Sharon! You're a magician read more

I started acupuncture with Sharon after trying just about everything else under the sun to ease my post-concussion headaches and TMJ. When I entered the office I was nervous about trying acupuncture for the first time and feeling very frustrated about my ongoing pain. Sharon is very easy to talk to and comforting. I left feeling calm and relaxed. After ongoing treatments I feel the best I have felt in months. I would recommend Empirical Point Acupuncture to anyone and everyone! You will leave feeling great :) read more

Sharon is awesome! She's so smart and so good at what she does! When you walk into her office, you will immediately relax. It's clean, calming and utterly professional. Sharon is a great listener and will spend a good amount of with you to determine what is going on with you. She is a superb acupuncturist, and after a few sessions, my back problems were gone. I often go back to Sharon for help with everything from acne, general stress or the flu. I highly recommend Sharon! read more

Sharon saved me from elbow surgery 2 years ago and I return every couple of months for a "tune up". I am a nurse and cannot explain how this treatment works but can say that without a doubt IT DOES. I recommend Sharon to anyone and everyone. If you wish to be well and stay well---see her! read more

I've tried to review Epirical Point a few times but it keeps getting removed, I don't know why. I LOVE Dr. Sharon Sherman! She is so nice, funny, down-to-earth, and does fantastic work. I had problems with singing and rosacea, and after 5 treatments, my voice was excellent and my skin was basically fully clear. ENTs and dermatologists (numerous) could not help me. I highly recommend seeing Sharon if you are curious about acupuncture. Plus, being in the heart of Chestnut Hill, is a beautiful way to spend the evening after your treatment, or before it. Can't say enough positive things about Sharon... seriously, she is AWESOME!! I am so happy I live relatively close to her office. I plan on getting treatments as often as money allows. It has greatly, greatly improved my life, and she is a joy to talk to and the advice she gives is fantastic, too. read more

I highly recommend Sharon Sherman at Empirical Acupuncture to anyone interested in acupuncture. I have had acupuncture treatments from many practitioners over the years and Sharon ranks among the very best. I have been seeing her on and off over the past year or so. I have benefited greatly from her care. Additionally, my close friend also saw her to treat his Rosacea and vocal issues (he is a singer). The results were incredible! He had been dealing with very severe outbreaks of rosacea for years and he couldn't sing at all on many days. After following Sharon's diet and herbal recommendations and receiving acupuncture treatments, he was cured in two weeks!! No exaggeration. His skin was perfectly clear and he could sing beautifully. He first saw her about a year and a half ago and his skin is still clear and his voice is doing great! read more

Sharon Sherman is the real deal. She helped me recover from a life-long struggle with low energy and immune system problems. I've received acupuncture and Chinese medicine from various practitioners for over twenty years. Sharon is unique in her in-depth knowledge of Chinese herbs in addition to a mastery of acupuncture. She has a keen intelligence and encyclopedic knowledge, and knows how to craft an individual treatment that encompasses the body, mind and spirit. read more

Sharon is awesome. I saw her several years ago for fatigue, food allergies, and recurrent sinus infections. After only a few treatments, I began to feel better - in fact, at the time I had no idea how much better I could feel, and I attribute a huge improvement in my quality of life to her skilled and compassionate care. Since then, I have asked Sharon to help me with a myriad of aches and pains. She is incredibly knowledgeable, is an amazing listener, and has taught me how to better understand my own body. Sharon is warm and welcoming, has a great sense of humor, and truly cares about making her patients feel better. read more

I have seen Sharon professionally for the last 3-4 years - always with amazing results. I am a consultant and long distance runner with a busy schedule, and she is always accommodating for appointments, and genuinely interested in my issues. I have seen her for a variety of aches and pains over the years, including stress-related chronic pain and more run-related injuries. Quads, adductors, achilles, neck, back, shin splints - her results are genuinely incredible to me. I am usually disappointed in myself that I didn't schedule her in sooner before my other less-than-successful attempts with PT, xrays, medicating or rest. She has kept me on the road - happy & healthy - and definitely understands the athlete mentality and endurance-specific issues. I have also used her from time to time re: Chinese herbals, with great result, particularly around spring and fall allergies. Lastly, she is a great resource for referrals to other quality health professionals in the area. Client for life! read more

Sharon is truly wonderful and an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner. I have been under her care for several months now with amazing results! She is always accommodating, takes her time speaking with me, and also has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend her!!! read more

Sharon combines being a gentle healer and listener with a practical, very down-to-earth personality. I always feel better after leaving her office - whether I have come in for a physical ache or pain, a need to clear a mental block or feeling of anxiety, or just a tune up. I've probably seen her 6-10 times and want to start going somewhat regularly because it really makes a difference in my health. She has a technical command of acupuncture, herbs, and aromatherapy and frequently combines these in treatments. She is also not too "out there" - she used to work in corporate America and she has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Bonus: her large office is conveniently located across from the train and a block off Germantown Ave and is always spotless, quiet, and serene. read more

Sharon is a great acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. I have had an ongoing intractable health problem and she has been able to provide me with relief. Sharon really tries to get to the root of the problem and solve it, which is much better than managing symptoms. Her office is so relaxing that I almost always fall asleep on the table. read more

Sharon Sherman is amazing. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. I've had kidney disease, lupus, and am now receiving chemotherapy treatments once a month. Since being treated by Sharon, the symptoms associated with the chemo have lessened (typical wisdom says they are supposed to worsen the more treatments one receives). My bloodwork and numbers have gotten better since i've been seeing her. My energy has increased and I feel more grounded. I just basically think she's amazing. I've searched far and wide for a well-trained, knowledgeable acupuncturist in the Philadelphia area and I've finally found this person in Sharon. She tells you what she can and cannot do. You never feel taken advantage of or like you are being sold snake oil. I feel more optimistic about the future since i've been seeing Sharon. I feel like I'm able to take things one day at a time, in large part due to her services. I would recommend Sharon Sherman and Empirical Point to anyone looking to regain their health and their sense of self. read more
