Patient Testimonials
For almost a year I had a debilitating neck pain followed by episodic headaches. I was hoping that acupuncture would relieve some of the headache pain however, after Jeffrey’s treatments I am not only rid of my headache my neck pain is almost nonexistent. I now have the ability to look over my shoulder again without the excruciating pain and am extremely grateful for the work Jeffrey has done and continues to do. Acupuncture has been keeping my stress down and helping me get improved function in my low back and legs as well.

I had the great fortune to cross paths after a six year struggle with infertility. My husband Paul and I had tried virtually everything to have a baby, including a wheat/sugar/alcohol free diet, and repeat rounds of fertility treatments—all to no avail.
When I met Jeffrey, we had nearly reached the end of the line. But there was one last hope—our niece Krystal offered to be an egg donor to give us the best possible chance at success. We decided to try one final time, with the promise that whatever the outcome, that would be our path to accept and embrace.
I turned to Jeffrey for acupuncture care to prepare my mind and body for upcoming IVF treatments. His work also included counseling and healing from past fertility medications and miscarriage. I found his work to be tremendously helpful in lowering my stress and anxiety, and felt increasingly calm and relaxed while in his care.
As I write this letter today, just one year later, I have a beautiful baby boy, Alexander, in my lap. Jeffrey was an integral part of this blessing. I truly believe his healing touch, warmth and nurturing spirit helped me let go of the past and gain the balance and optimal health to allow this miracle in our lives at long last.

After an online search, I found Jeffrey Szilagyi. Jeffrey has proven to be a
tremendous practitioner and health professional. My knee was injured to the
point that an Orthopedic surgeon wanted to operate. I got a second opinion from
a non-surgeon orthopedic doctor and came to see Jeffrey. For years, I have been
limping at certain times of the year. This Christmas, I continued to exercise, go
to acupuncture and walk freely throughout the season. Jeffrey is an expert
listener. He takes the time to integrate emotions, movement habits and patterns
as well as age related ailments into the focus of his approach. I feel a whole new
level of freedom and happiness since I started using Jeffrey as a part of my
support team for wellness. Jeffrey is a brilliant acupuncturist, who demonstrates
his talents by the results of wellness his clients exhibit. Thank you for your
dedication and quality of service!

“Jeffrey Szilagyi did what a dozen MDs said was impossible. He gave me back the ability to walk without a cane and pain free. He gave me back my life. I highly recommend him, not just for his treatments which are superb, but for his active listening skills when treating the whole patient, not just the part that hurts. Often it is this attention to the person that opens up the potential for major change and improvement. It did for me, and it will for you.”

“I have worked with Jeffrey Szilagyi for more than 5 years, and I have to say he is extraordinary. He combines an extensive knowledge of massage techniques with a unique ability to bring centeredness and tranquility to his clients.”

“I injured my ankle doing a routine exercise in dance class, but the effect was anything but routine. Because I teach dance and choreograph, my livelihood depends on being healthy and able to demonstrate the movement. The injury was painful. I was often limping, and I had to cancel classes. A friend suggested I try acupuncture and recommended Jeffrey. The very first session, I felt a huge amount of blocked energy become unblocked, and as if he had applied heat to the side of my calf, warmth pulsed from the released blockage around my knee down to my ankle, which felt great relief. I had two more sessions, and by the last one I was completely back to normal and doing jumps in class again. The acupuncture, paired with some ankle strengthening exercises, really made the difference. I would recommend Jeffrey in a heartbeat to dancers and to anyone else who needs a knowledgeable, mindful and caring practitioner.”

“I started working with Jeffrey with a desire to explore a new approach to some health issues I was having. I had some positive response and healing with acupuncture from many years past and felt like this could be beneficial. My experience with Jeffrey has been wonderful! I have referred so many friends to him. It was very healing for me to have him really listen so deeply and ask so many questions about the nature of my health and related symptoms – not just at the onset, but all along the way – as part of the acupuncture treatment. And I felt such a strong sense of a mutual approach to my health and healing, which for me really honored my role and part in the process. I am always so impressed by his way of connecting the dots, finding parallels or just offering a perspective that suggests a new possibility or fresh view. I don’t underestimate how this affected my improved health. I think Jeffrey offers his openness, understanding and wisdom very generously, and it has been a privilege to be treated by him.”

“I’d have this pain for 5 years. I had had acupuncture before, it helped some, so I decided to try it again. I felt very comfortable at Jeffrey’s office. The treatments are relaxing and non-invasive. It is actually comfortable and I love the heat lamps on my knees. The results have been unbelievable. This is the least amount of pain I have had in my knees in the past 5 years. And I have been able to work out harder than ever, which means so much to me.”

I am writing this to thank you for the incredible help your Acupuncture practice has given me. Since the accident at work more than seven months ago, I have been in pain daily which has slowly been eroding my happiness and ability to perform daily tasks. Though I was skeptical of the benefits of Acupuncture prior to working with you, I have experienced what feels like a miraculous occurrence in windows of time completely pain free.
After my very first appointment I was pain free from 4:30pm until 8:30am the following day. Upon arriving home from your office my wife commented on how I seemed refreshed, strengthened, and happier than she had seen me in months. With continued treatments these benefits have continued and grown. I would say that not only has it been wonderful to be without pain for up to two and a half days with your help, but even when the pain returns its frequency has definitely diminished by easily one third.
Thank you so much for finally helping me find some relief after so many other doctors, specialists, and prescription drugs had failed. I sincerely hope that we will be able to continue this treatment path to final and complete relief.
Most Sincerely,
Zachary G. Father and Builder
“Jeffrey has a unique way of seeing the whole person, compassionately, and how the mind, body, and so much more affect health and happiness. Jeffrey has not only helped heal my body in times of pain or illness, he seems to always be working towards prevention and better living, and along the way, has offered wisdom that has helped me better access my inner strength.”

“I have been suffering from episodes of gout for the past 3 years. Recently, I have had an acute and debilitating attack for about two months. I had tried traditional western medicine, but it only offered drugs with unwanted side effects. I decided to try acupuncture and found Jeffrey’s center. Jeffrey did a thorough job of understanding my complex health history. He also researched the best herbal approaches for my gout. He recommended a two month course of herbs to eliminate the excess uric acid in my body and acupuncture visit for pain relief as needed. After using the herbal formula for only 5 days, my pain has been greatly reduced. To be honest, I had been skeptical of using herbs, but I am gratefully surprised by the amount of relief I have gotten. Jeffrey has my wholehearted recommendation as a healer.”

“With over a dozen warts on his face and hands, our six year old son, Max, needed expert care. Although Jeffrey had not previously treated warts before, his reassuring confidence, empathetic compassion and his strong desire to help Max’s body heal shone forth. Additionally, due to Jeffrey’s seemingly innate ability to connect with children, Max loved his appointments where he would become a “hero” braving the “swords” that would help him to heal. Jeffrey’s “immune support” advice coupled with Max’s medical treatments were invaluable in helping to create his current wart-free status!”
