I have been going to Artin for a few months for various emotional and physical issues (anxiety, sinus problems, heart palpitations, stress, TMJ...). I was skeptical and fearful about acupuncture at first, having not had positive experiences with Western medicine and concerned I would never feel better. Artin is patient, kind, an excellent listener and so knowledgeable about his craft that it is difficult not to ask lots of questions. He prioritized my ailments and targeted some of the emotional triggers for my physical issues. I felt immediately better after the first treatment and my health has only improved since. I feel amazing now - like a new person - and can only credit all the benefits of acupuncture and herbs. I am so happy to have stumbled about Artin. He is so passionate about his work and it is rare that you find someone who genuinely cares about their patients and takes a holistic approach to healing. Artin has a gift and anyone who is on the receiving end of it will be blessed and healed. He is amazing. You have nothing to lose by going and everything to gain.

I do not believe I could've done this without your help. My outlook on life has really changed since meeting and working with you.

I couldn't be happier with my progress since I started going to Artin. I've had serious tension and neck/shoulder pain for years now, which triggers migraines relatively often. After going to countless doctors and neurologists, I decided to try Eastern medicine. Imagine my amazement at waking up one morning after our session to find that my familiar tension and pain was gone. I still have a ways to go to retrain my muscles, but overall, I can not say enough positive things about Artin. The location is very convenient, he has appointments after regular business hours, and overall he is just a wonderful person. In some ways, I feel as though he's also acting as my shrink; he is always reminding me to appreciate the good in life and in myself. One final example of how great this individual is -- he came in one day on his day off to see me when I was struggling with a migraine attack. I rest my case! I highly recommend him. :)

Dear Artin, throughout my husbands chemotherapy, we have trusted his oncologist to treat his cancer, and we have been so fortunate that we have been able to entrust you with thinking about his well being as a whole. My husband has said that coming to see you has felt like the "care" part of his health care. We are deeply grateful for all of the support you have given both of us throughout this challenging time. With thanks and love,

Thank you for helping me cope through this summer during a very difficult time for me and my family. You really care about people and it shows.

While a citizen of France, my doctor prescribed medicine for my palpitations, yet they still persisted. I have been living in the US for the past year, and after meeting Artin, I decided to get acupuncture treatments. After a month of treatments, not only did the palpitations stop, but my vision and overall energy has improved, I look healthier, have more color to my face, and I can sleep through the night. I like the new me. Thank you Artin for your caring, thoughtfulness, correct diagnosis, and skills.

I just received my very first acupuncture treatment from Artin last night! I have various hormonal issues, including migraines and irritability (ladies - you know what I mean), and I'm already feeling better! I did my research before I found Artin, and I can't wait to go back and see even more results! There's a reason this tradition still exists after thousands of years.

Crohn's disease runs in my family, and as I started to get some of the symptoms last year, I got very worried and concerned. Fortunatley I ran into Artin due to a mutual friend and I am still amazed at how quickly my symptoms improved and how effective Chinese medicine can be. Thank you.

It's hard to overstate the pain, discomfort, and debilitating disruption to my life caused by my condition known as non-allergic rhinitis. Over the past seven years, the condition gradually worsened as I tried everything to cure it. Nothing helped. But one treatment by Artin cleared up the problem immediately the same day. And the effect lasted for months. In the months that followed, the problem returned twice and both times Artin was able to instantly clear it up again with long-lasting effects.
The great care and precision with which he treated me has made me a believer, not only in the tremendous healing powers of acupuncture, but in his prodigious skills as well. LC, 46 Alexandria, VA
Your work really helped me cope with the cancer and all that I was going through. Thank you Artin.

What first made me comfortable with Artin was that he had previously treated patients with my disorder. It is not an easy condition to understand or treat, and I felt reassured when I found out that he has experience with the matter. I experienced a steady improvement in my symptoms during the course of treatments. I really appreciated that Artin suggested ways other than acupuncture of addressing my condition in order to tackle it from all sides. Artin encouraged me and even emailed me studies on the condition and improvements commonly seen with diet and nutrition.

My ongoing restlessness and anxiety had made life so difficult. A few treatments with you and things started to change dramatically. I am more calm and relaxed and very glad with my decision to come see you. Thank you.

I was extremely irregular and after two treatments with Artin, I had my first period in 6 months! Over time the regularity started to return and the irritability that preceded is much less. Now I am completly regular and am happy with my decision to seek help with natural medicine as pharmaceuticals are not something I would've even considered. Artins reassuring nature and confidence without arrogance was also very comforting.
