Testimonials

  • "Christine worked with me once a week for six months as part of our integrative musculoskeletal medicine program. After medical assessment, Christine was part of a comprehensive treatment plan that included medications, exercise, acupuncture, and bodywork. Patients consistently commented on her bedside skills & several had marked improvement after Christine’s treatments. What impressed me the most was her caring and advocacy on patients’ behalf; Christine never stops looking for additional ways to make her patients better."

  • "Living in New York City I have found that when it comes to health care there are the best of the best and the worst of the worst and then there is all that in between where we spend months and lots of dollars searching for relief. After another injury to my right shoulder the dilemma was to find the best of the best to treat the ailment with minimal waste of my time and money.

    Finally after lots of complaining and networking I was recommended to an acupuncturist. And I consider Christine Marcarian as one of the best. Besides being exceptionally knowledgeable about her craft she is grounded, wholesome, caring as well as very nurturing and accessible. My healing began after the first visit. I highly recommend Christine if you are looking for the best!"

  • "Christine is phenomenal! I saw her weekly during my performance of Macbeth in NYC. Whatever ache, pain, stiffness, or fatigue I had by the time I got off of her table, I felt calm, centered, without pain and always in a far better place to perform. She has an intuition that is uncanny. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

  • "I went to Christine for terrible migraines. Before trying acupuncture, I exhausted all forms of treatment with the neurologist, chiropractor and various other modalities, some of which helped but just temporarily. After several months, I have never felt so good. Not only do I feel better, I look better and am much happier."

  • "Over a period of years now and for very different symptoms-sciatica, migraines, stress, and various side effects from cancer radiation treatment. I have been the grateful beneficiary of Christine’s expertise and impressive touch.

    She has been of immeasurable help to me. I would unqualifiedly recommend her to anyone seeking highly trained, experienced, professional, and compassionate care."
