Dear Health Seekers,
All too often it's
the health care practitioner who gets personal information
about the patient, while the patient gets little information
about the practitioner and his or her practice. As someone
who constantly strives for balance in all aspects of my life,
I want to tell you my story.
My professional training began at
the Tristate College of Acupuncture in New York City.
After three years of intensive, hands-on training, I received
my license to practice acupuncture in New York City.
Later, I earned a Master's Degree in Acupuncture from Tristate.
Nationally board certified, I am also licensed to practice
in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
I was inspired to become an acupuncturist
when my father, an alternative-minded M.D., discovered the
many benefits of this 3000-year-old healing art over 20 years
ago (well before it became fashionable). He was so successful
at his work that he completely dedicated his life and practice
to becoming a skilled acupuncturist. As a result, my
practice is, in part, a way of honoring his expertise and
courage, as well as the invaluable lessons that he passed
down to me. Furthermore, he was able to effectively
integrate both traditional and alternative forms of medicineÑa goal to which I also have devoted my
professional life.
I firmly believe in the principles
and methodology of my work, which are to offer you a range
of treatments to help you become healthier now and in the
future. My goal is not only to relieve you of your illness
and discomfort, but to work with you on a personalized plan
for preventative care, and to empower you to be your own best
healer.
Safe and completely compatible
with other types of health care you may be receiving, these
treatments do not include drugs of any kind, nor must you
discontinue any prescription medications. All courses
of treatment are determined on a case-by-case basis; quality
time is dedicated to each patient at every office visit.
I decided to base my practice
here at 40 Park Avenue, because I am continually presented
with challenges and opportunities to realize my professional
objective: to combine the best that Western and Oriental
medicine together can offer. My goal is to bridge the
two by fostering a connection between traditional M.D.s and
alternative health care practitioners. As a potential
member of your health care team, I offer my personal promise
that I will be tenacious in my commitment to support your
efforts to achieve complete well-being.
Sincerely,
Roberta
