Deerfield Acupuncture Clinic's Online Review Report Card

I started acupuncture to help with my jaw pain and stress, and I’ll admit—I was skeptical at first. I had previously tried Botox for pain relief, but it was extremely expensive and only provided temporary results. I’m so glad I gave acupuncture a chance because it has been far more effective. Not only has it helped manage my pain, but it has also allowed me to truly relax. It’s much more affordable, and I notice real improvement after every session. Instead of just masking the pain, acupuncture addresses both the pain and the underlying stress. I highly recommend Anatoliy to anyone considering it!

Anatoliy was great to work with. He really cares about making sure that his patients make progress and provides advice on additional steps outside of acupuncture that one can take to address the problem in a holistic manner. Highly recommended!

Professional, ethical, responsive and effective! I cannot speak highly enough of this practice. If you think acupuncture doesn’t work it is because you have not been here. Words cannot express my gratitude and relief. Amazing!!

I originally went to Anatoliy seeking relief from months of persistent congestion, and the results have been amazing. He really listened to my concerns and went above and beyond with each session, customizing my treatments to target my specific issues. The difference has been remarkable—my congestion has improved significantly, and I finally feel like I’m breathing freely again! The office itself is a tranquil, beautifully designed space that instantly puts you at ease. Appointments were always on time, and I never felt any pressure to book more than I needed. I even had the option to extend sessions if I wanted a little extra time. I highly recommend Deerfield Acupuncture Clinic!

While the jury is still out on the condition for which I went to see Anatoliy, I am very impressed. Anatoliy makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, and you can talk to him about ANYTHING, no matter what your ailment is. I do believe the few treatments I've had have done some good. I would recommend this facility for anyone curious about acupuncture, and for anyone already familiar with acupuncture who is looking for a different provider.

I have had the great honor of knowing Anatoly Pak for the last 10 years. I have sought his wise council, assessments and treatment for many things ranging from maintaining overall well being to treatment for specific issues, localized pain and discomfort. I trust him implicitly. It is so easy to book through his website, he is always flexible, spends as much time as needed to better understand root causes and care for the human in his chair. Then he works his magic. I have always found relief. That said, acupuncture works best over time. You. must believe and have patience. Thank you Anatoly!

Had the absolute best experience with Anatoliy. I have a fear of needles and he made sure that I always felt extremely comfortable and relaxed during all of my appointments. He is very kind and thoughtful. Working with him was nothing but a complete joy. As a sceptic, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a vast improvement in my symptoms to the point where my migraines had completely gone away! I would recommend him to my friends and family in a heart beat.

I was very nervous to try acupuncture for my headaches. Even for those with a fear of needles, I encourage you to try it! My results were truly extraordinary. Anatoliy Pak listens to your concerns and addresses them with patience and care. I was suffering from environmental headaches all too often. Headaches that were truly debilitating from something as simple as the weather change. Within 3 months, these headaches seem to be gone. The acupuncture re-programmed my body's response to the external variables. I did not know this was even a possibility. I am overjoyed with the results and will be sure to go back if and when other health concerns arise.

Anatoliy is the best in the business. He has helped me out of numerous chronic health issues with his skillful practice. I have been to many acupuncturists and he is the best. He uses the balance method developed by Dr. Tan himself, which seems to be the best.

Review from an empiricist and skeptic: I was highly skeptical of acupuncture, but facing an almost year-long battle with depression stemming from a traumatic-stress response, I was desperate. Dr. Pak combines acupuncture- which has a noticeable physiological effect due to the release of endorphins- with compassionate dialogue to encourage reflection, meditative practices, herbal-support therapy, and things for me to practice at home. I think that this integrative approach is the key to success. When the source of severe depression is deeply-rooted in traumatic events and continual life-stress outside of your control, it's never going to be as simple as "acupuncture cured me." However, after trying numerous drugs, those didn't provide a cure either; but here's where Dr. Pak is different: he uses a combination of practices which are research-based, namely acupuncture, which evidence shows prompts a chemical response by the body, and controlled breathing and mindful meditation, which is well-documented to prompt neurological changes. Together, these practices have not cured me, but put me on a path towards wellness that Western medicine did not. Is my insomnia cured? Is my depression gone? No. Have they become more manageable? Absolutely. Am I on a path towards recovery? Yes. How do I know? My behavior has changed: I eat better, I have begun exercising, some nights my sleep is a little more restful. This is only in a few weeks! While I cannot say which is having the greater effect- the acupuncture, the meditation, or the compassionate talks- it's probably all three, and the reason I return and will continue to return is because it has an element that is highly therapeutic. It allows me to schedule a time where I receive attention, get advice, meditate, and yes, of course, receive acupuncture. Everyone's mileage may differ and I'm not saying that you won't find immediate and enduring relief for your back, but when it comes to issues that are far more complex and difficult to resolve- psychological- commit to giving it a chance for at least a few weeks, and take the practices from his clinic to your home as well. As for me, I will continue to visit Dr. Pak and treat our sessions like I would a Western psychotherapist, because I believe this is something I need in my life to maintain accountability for taking care of my self. At this clinic, there are no distractions and it's very clear what you need to do: heal. In our distractable world, that's something that is missing and I think if you need that in your life, you will find value in treating this clinic as a place to receive ongoing support and care.
