Integrative Wellness

I went to see George because I had poor digestion, headaches, and fatigue, and had heard great things from some former patients. After starting on my new diet, I immediately felt a dramatic change: an enormous increase in my energy level, improved clarity of thinking, and improved digestion. I've now been on my new diet for well over a year, and have noticed that I get sick far less frequently and my headaches have almost disappeared. George is a dedicated, highly-knowledgeable, and caring practitioner, and an excellent listener. Highly recommended.

My partner Li is pregnant, and we went to see George because she was very fatigued and she also had some liver enzymes outside the normal range which concerned Li's doctors from Harvard Vanguard enough that they had her doing monthly blood tests to monitor the situation. George asked to see Li's medical test results before we came in, and he must have been surprised when she sent him a 127 page pdf. When we went in to see him, he had printed out the test results and had noted various things that concerned him deep inside the stack of papers. I am a Ph.D. myself, and I could tell he was able to understand the test results, and he could explain things to me where needed in scientific terms. He put Li on several supplements, and he suggested some dietary changes that were quite hard for her to make (adding liver to her diet, for example). He also asked for Li to request some additional tests in her next round of blood work because her symtoms suggested a few things to George, and in fact, those tests did determine that two things George suspected were out of whack. Li was 100% compliant, and saw immediate results with her energy level. She also noticed that her cravings went away. He answered questions by email over the next month, and then I took her in for a second visit, this time for acupuncture. By that time, her liver enzyme had gotten better markedly, and since then it has returned to the normal range. George also provided some great guidance in helping us find a doula, and the right birthing option. I really appreciated that George did not try to keep Li coming back. We have had experience in the past with other practitioners (chiropractors, acupuncturists) who seem to try to create a false dependency which benefits them financially. George helped Li to get her health up to optimum, and did not try at all to keep us coming back. That applied to the supplements he recommended as well. Though he could have supplied all of the recommended supplements, he let us know which ones could be gotten more economically from Whole Foods or from the internet. That really made me feel that he was looking out for our well being!
