I also have several herbal formulas from Ryan I keep on hand to use any time I start getting a cold or flu. It's like my own herbal doctor kit. He has helped my wife on numerous occasions with health issues and aches and pains and really helped my mother after another local acupuncturist gave her the wrong herbs and made her condition worse. I consistently hear from friends in the Berkshires that Ryan is the best in the Berkshires at what he does, that he fixed their shoulder, or whatever issue they had, but he is so humble he will never say such a thing, he gives all the credit to the herbs and needles. If you have an ache or pain or something the doctor hasn't been able to fix, I highly recommend calling Ryan.

Last year, my husband was hospitalized for severe mental confusion. Hospital neurologist was…read morecertain this was a symptom of tick-borne illness and placed him on antibiotics. He showed some improvement, but others on his care team disagreed about the cause of his symptoms, and he was discharged without further antibiotic care. Two weeks later, he had to be re-hospitalized because the confusion came back. When I asked for them to resume the antibiotic care, I was met with huge resistance, but our neurologist put us in touch with the Stram Center and told us to follow up there. From that point on, everything changed. I first spoke with Nadine, who listened carefully, expedited my appointment with Dr. Stram and guided me through the intake process. For the first time in a month, I felt heard, cared for and hopeful. We saw Dr. Stram in May 2025 and what can I say? He spent hours talking to us about my husband's health background and symptoms, and, after careful evaluation and testing, identified that my husband had contracted multiple tickborne infections. He developed a thoughtful, holistic care plan that was tailored to my husband's individual needs and included input and supervision from multiple, interdisciplinary clinicians. We travelled to Albany for 6 weeks of 5-day/week treatment. It wasn't easy and it was expensive (health insurance covered very little). But was it worth it? Absolutely! Dr. Stram, Nadine and the entire Stram Team (from the front desk to the nurses and technicians) were always approachable and present, answering our (many) questions with patience, respect, transparency and professionalism. My husband has recovered his mental functioning and his overall health has greatly improved. My gratitude for the Stram Center team is boundless and I'd recommend them without reservation to anyone who is seeking help with complex medical questions and has struggled with the mainstream medical system. My only regrets are that insurance companies don't want to recognize wholistic health practices (so many people can't access this valuable care), and, that it took me so long to write this review.

Verena is a top notch healer. I've seen her over the years for many things, but perhaps most…read moreimpressively was when she succeeded in making me pain free after 5 years of failed attempts working with Western doctors. The thing I tell people when I recommend acupuncture and Oriental medicine, is that it works by STRENGTHENING your body and your natural healing systems. So even if something isn't cured, you're likely to feel better and be in better general health, as well as a better position to take allopathic medicine if you still need to. For instance, when I needed to take an allopathic medicine that was very hard on my liver, after some months I had "the shakes," (I couldn't keep my hand steady, and even my jaw was jittery). I had no idea that it was from the medicine. Verena saw this symptom, commented that it was a sign of a weakened liver, and successfully treated it--by strengthening my liver! I don't think she even knew I was on that medication, she just treated the weakened part of my system, and it worked. Don't just treat the symptom with Western medicine--heal the core weakness causing the symptoms. This is what Accupuncture and Oriental Medicine can do, and Verena is top notch at it!
