TESTIMONIALS FOR GABRIEL SHER L.Ac.
Katie, New York, NY
"I decided to finally try acupuncture after years of sinus problems. I had been to numerous ENT doctors and allergists who told me nothing was structurally wrong with my sinuses and that I just had seasonal allergies. I was beyond frustrated because I was constantly blowing my nose, getting sinus infections and had to go everywhere with a stash of tissues. I hated being that girl at work who everyone thought was "always sick". Meeting Gabriel was reassuring and he gave me faith that we could fix this. He took a completely different look at my problem. He told me we had to find out why my body was producing so much mucous. That was a mind blowing yet simple question that no one had ever asked before….WHY was I producing so much mucous?! Gabriel had me immediately cut out dairy, we started a weekly acupuncture regiment and I took Chinese herbs daily. This three prong approach worked miracles and only took three months to cure my sinus problems. Now I barely use tissues and I feel great! I have more energy because I can breathe better so I am getting more oxygen into my blood. On top of Gabriel being amazing at what he does, he sincerely cares about his patients. I highly recommend him for any ailment you may have!"

"Gabriel is nothing short of a miracle worker.
I have been going to Gabriel since 2006 and he has never failed to relieve whatever pain I had in the shortest period of time possible. When I first found Gabriel, I had severe foot problems that no doctor seemed to be able to diagnose or cure. I had countless MRIs, went to the hospital for special surgery, and no one could figure out a way to help. Gabriel took incredible care to talk through my problems and treat me and I was able to walk again in no less than a few weeks! Since that time, I have gone to Gabriel for severe sciatica during two pregnancies and he has relieved my pain quickly. When all of my medical doctors couldn't treat my pain or figure out how to help, I have always been able to call Gabriel and he has never failed me. He's a fantastic person, and I can't recommend him enough! I am 100% converted to acupuncture and there is no one better than Gabriel."

"A friend of mine had gone to Gabriel for her sinus infections and had very positive results so I decided to give Gabriel a try. My first appointment we spent 30 minutes just talking about my symptoms, what I had tried so far and my diet! None of the doctors had ever asked about my diet. All of the allergy tests had been testing external factors, not internal factors and no one had ever asked me about what I could be ingesting that may be causing all of my mucus. Gabriel suggested I cut out diary (as it turned out I was actually consuming quite a bit of it). I had about 6 treatments (which were the most relaxing and peaceful experiences of my life), Gabriel explained everything he was doing and why, he answered any questions I had and created an atmosphere where I was able to completely relax and allow my body to experience the healing power of the acupuncture. Additionally, he gave me herbs which were specifically blended to dry up some of my mucus and IT WORKED!!! For the first time in a year I was able to sleep through the night without having to get up to blow my nose! It has been about 3 months since my last treatment and I am still mucus free!
"I would absolutely, 100% recommend Gabriel. He is an amazing healer and an incredible person."
"After suffering with extreme allergies for over a year, seeing allergists and ENTs regularly who told me simply: "my body creates too much mucus" and wrote prescriptions for all sorts of sprays and pills (including steroids!), I decided it was time to try something different.
"I am forever grateful to Gabriel for making me a believer in acupuncture. After having irregular periods my entire life and trying to get pregnant for about 8 months a friend recommended I contact Gabriel. I was very skeptical about acupuncture but was desperate for anything that may help. I immediately feel in love with how relaxed I felt during the treatments. It was almost like every stress I had been feeling instantly melted away. Gabriel's kind and friendly demeanor also helped me to forget why I was there. Instead of being depressed and overly focused on getting pregnant I looked forward to my appointments as a chance to free my mind from worrying and to just completely relax. It made me feel calmer and happier. It gave me hope.
"Within the first month my cycle became a normal 28 days. I was amazed. The following month I started on herbs and I got pregnant. My husband and I are so thankful we found Gabriel. Words can not describe how lucky we feel. I continued to see Gabriel throughout my pregnancy and I believe I was healthier from it.
"I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience with Gabriel has been. I recommend him to all my friends, not just those women I know thinking about having children, but anyone who simply needs some more peace and calmness in their lives."

I have been a patient of Gabriel's since 2005. When I first came to the Center, I had been to at least half a dozen traditional doctors, trying to diagnose my physical issues, with no luck. I had very little contact with eastern medicine and was skeptical, but desperate.
Gabriel was professional and as approachable as they come. He listened attentively and took a great deal of time listening and learning about my life, issues and triggers. He was very pragmatic regarding his diagnosis and what he thought I could, and would do based on my hectic lifestyle. Lemme tell you, once I started treatment, not only did my symptoms dissipate within 4 sessions, but over time, I was able to once again thrive, both physically and mentally. Truly incredible, and I can't say enough amazing things about the process. As a result, the Sher Acupuncture Center has and will continue to be a regular part of my ongoing wellness routine.
Shawn, NYCGabriel is an amazing Acupuncturist and an outstanding person. You've got to make an appointment. More specifically - he's incredibly talented at his craft. I've gone to him for countless ailments and every single time I leave in remarkably better condition than when I came in that day. I've referred him to numerous people and every person raves about his results. I'm waiting for my mom to visit so I can send her too! The treatments are always spot on and the herbs are a wonderful compliment to the work. I truly appreciate that he works to hone the formula to best suit your system as it changes with his treatments. Furthermore - he cares, listens.. and is supportive in good times and bad. A healer he is - and if you haven't gotten in to see him DO IT - before he gets so booked that you can't get an appointment! REALLY - he's that good.

Let me begin by saying, Gabriel is the best !!! He really understands a persons physical and emotional needs. Not only has he treated my numerous injuries, he is adept at understanding the emotional body as well. He is very kind, a great listener and intuitive in his work. I have been a patient for many years. Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for all of the healing he has given to me. I am extremely "grateful" to have him as an acupuncturist. He is also very "gentle" with the needles. I highly recommend Gabriel for whatever is ailing you..... :) :)

I find this to be both a relaxing and healing experience. Not only is he a kind and considerate human being, but he has a wonderful sense of humor! Since I suffer from chronic daily migraines, this kind of environment and treatment is perfect for me!! I see Gabriel as often as possible and would recommend him enthusiastically to anyone suffering from chronic pain.
Alex, Brooklyn, NY
Gabriel is a great acupuncturist. I suffered from back pain from a motorcycle accident and after one treatment i felt a tremendous amount of relief. I continued to see him and after 4 treatments in a 2 week period my back felt 100% better. I recommend everyone to him.
Ally, NYC
I can't express how much acupuncture has changed my life. Since I started seeing Gabriel I have felt like my mind and body are connected again. I saw several doctors who could not offer me anything but medicine to mask the symptoms of my condition. I suffered horrible side effects from the medicine. With herbs and acupuncture, Gabriel actually looked to the cause of my problem while simultaneously addressing the symptons and side effects that manifested. I can now say my body is functioning properly again. Gabriel offered me a sense of trust and compassion which many doctors and therapists did not. He is always open and listens to everything I say and feel. I am so happy that I found Gabriel at this time in my life.
Stephane, New York
"I came back from Brazil in suffering from severe digestive problems and acute diarrhea, undoubtedly due to some food I had ingested there. I did not take care of it immediately when I came back to NY, hoping that it would cure itself, which it did not. I then made an appointment with Gabriel Sher, who cured me in two acupuncture sessions, coupled with herbal teas which he prescribed - and which actually did not taste bad at all."
Rashmi, NYC
"After spending over a year with chiropractors and specialists treating both back and lower abdominal pain (primarily with pain killers), I approached Gabriel in hopes of finding an alternative and more successful remedy. Gabriel has proved to be not just an acupuncturist, but an extremely thorough and knowledgeable holistic healer. He has helped me understand the complicated and integrated factors that affect my health, and treated both the root causes and symptoms of my problems. He is fun to work with, is a patient listener, and an excellent teacher and de-mystifier of the techniques and benefits of Eastern medicine. In just two months, his efforts and treatments have alleviated almost all of my previous pain! "
Natalie, NYC
"I am prone to stress and anger easily but, through treatment including acupuncture and herbs my health and mental state has become balanced. I feel great after treatments and continue going as preventative medicine for the imbalanced and hectic city life. I don't get colds or have painful periods since I have been getting treated for a year consistently. Gabriel has the best 'Bedside Manner' too!"
Esther, NYC
"As a nutritionist I find Gabriel to be the most competent acupuncturist I have evr worked with. He has a comprehensive knowledge of herbs and acupuncture, and uses them together to produce a powerful synergistic effect. He is an excellent listener, and takes your concerns seriously to provide quality care."

"Thanks to Gabriel both of my boys were relieved of
their colds, coughs, congestion and earaches. They
both did very well on the herbs and didn't mind taking
them. I am so happy!"
