Infertility

When my husband and I first met Drew, we were at the point where we didn’t know where to turn. We had gone through 3 sessions of IVF with no success and no diagnosis as to what was wrong – because nobody knew… As one of her last efforts, our doctor suggested acupuncture. I had read about it but didn’t know much and I was a little skeptical. But we didn’t have anything to lose, so there we were…

Drew has been the best thing that happened to us. His knowledge of acupuncture and TCM were not the only two things that came across as treatment progressed. He is easy to talk to (almost like a therapist but without the fees!), modest and very understanding. He has an awesome personality. I quite enjoyed my sessions with Drew. I really believe that with Drew’s expertise in acupuncture and TCM, along with IVF, I finally succeeded in getting pregnant. We are expecting in December! I feel that this would not have happened without Drew. Thank you very much for what you do!

Breech Birth

Hi Drew, I just dropped by your clinic to tell you in person that my baby turned down! wowowowow! I had another ultrasound today to confirm it. I’m so happy, relieved and thankful! Thank you so much for your great help. I have no idea how and why but something worked out! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Fibromyalgia

I have been living with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease for over 4 years. I have tried everything from pain medication to lidocaine injections to massage, and the list goes on and on. Nothing and no one was able to give me any kind of relief. Soon I gave up hope and accepted my fate to live with pain. I was fairly “young” when I started to experience pain, 29 years of age and no one took me seriously. That was probably the hardest part of living with pain – when you appear to look “healthy” on the outside, most doctors assume you are either a whiner or hypochondriac.

It was about a year ago, I was introduced to Drew by a physiotherapist. The minute I sat down with him, I knew he was different. He was empathetic, sincere and very knowledgeable, I felt at ease with him right away. I have been in his care ever since and my pain has become very manageable. I often spend weeks forgetting that I have pain. My treatment with Drew includes cupping, scraping, acupuncture and massage, but the best part of the treatment is that I have a therapist who actually listens to me and my pain. I have met many doctors and alternative medicine practitioners who are extremely dogmatic. With Drew, I always feel like we are a team rooting for ME to get better. I drive an hour just to go see him and he is worth all that crazy traffic.

Hives/Urticaria

When I first called Drew, I was dealing with pressure urticaria that was becoming progressively worse each year. It had progressed to the point where on a daily basis my torso, legs and arms would be covered by wheals – at night the hives would keep me awake scratching, hot and extremely uncomfortable. The pain and discomfort from the wheals were becoming unbearable and would be triggered by the slightest pressure on my skin. It was affecting the clothes I could wear , products I could use and the activities I could do. Unfortunately, the only solution doctors would give me were antihistamines – the higher doses required left me tired and unable to concentrate. Often, the medication and creams had no effect at all…

After only a few acupuncture sessions the severity of the hives decreased drastically. I now only have to deal with the slightest, occasional breakout – no more than a tiny patch of hives that now only lasts a few hours versus a few weeks! Acupuncture was my last resort and I admit I wasn’t sure if it would even work but Drew’s treatment has made such a large impact on my pressure urticaria and on my daily life…he’s now the first person I call!

Breast Cancer Care

Before I came to see Drew, I had just finished chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer and was undergoing radiation therapy. I had a fast pulse rate, trouble sleeping, raised blood pressure, hot flashes, tingling in my fingers and toes, and watery eyes. The raised blood pressure and fast pulse were making me feel tense, the watery eyes and hot flashes were annoying, not sleeping well (and worrying about it) was debilitating. The rest was manageable.

Following my acupuncture sessions, I felt more relaxed and often could concentrate on my work better in just 2 days. My eyes gradually stopped watering, and the tingling of my extremities eased noticeably. I am sure that this was not only due to the acupuncture alone, but also to Drew’s wonderful care, enthusiasm and genuine attention to my problems. Thanks again.
