Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine - Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac.

I'd recommend Andrew's approach to weigh loss to anyone who wants to lose weight while also working on improving their self-esteem. I've lost about 35lbs on his program which very quickly becomes your own if you really stick to it. His colorful diet is not hard to follow at all and it's very vegetarian friendly (one of my concerns).
However, I have to say I see him for everything now, he's a caring healer who listens to your every concern and helps you with any issues you may have with your body or spirit. I could never re-pay him for all he has done for me.

Pros: Caring

Posted 07/14/09

As a crazy juiced up wall streeter, I was the perfect example as a man out of balance. Overworked, never enough time for anything, juggling ten things at once...
I was conviced that Andrew was the man to see after seeing him on CNN, reading about him in Men's Journal and was coincidentally referred to him by my doctor! Synchronicity. Andrew is not JUST an acupuncturist, but I think a guru disguised as a city dweller, as he is very calming and centered. I have learned so much from him through his affirmations, meditations, and our talks about bettering my life. He is a consummate herbal master who was correct in every detailed diagnosis. He showed me how to really honor who I am and how to live. He was fantastic with the nutritional advise, gave me great exercises, helped me with "bedroom" issues and had a great take on being comfortable in my own skin. What a guy. Definitely, a guy's guy. He knows just what men need to keep fit, feel good and how to keep it all together. I recommend him to any man (although, I realize he is a fertility expert for women) he is a virility expert for men too!

Pros: Master of his craft

Hey, Andrew.
I just wanted to let you know that I have good news: I just received my admission letter to the positive psychology program. Thank you so much for helping me get there! I seriously think that your letter played a huge role in my getting admitted. From what I understand, the competition for a seat in the program was very intense and your letter was critical.

You have no idea how much I appreciate your help. Now, I can finally switch things up a bit and explore (and hopefully make a living doing) something that really gets me excited. I owe this all to you and I certainly owe you one (actually, probably many more).

It's important for me to let you that I do appreciate all you've done these past several months (almost 2 years???). You have allowed me to find my voice, to learn to be comfortable with myself and to show me who I really am! There is no gift greater than this!

I hope everything is great on your end and you are getting ready for an awesome summer.

Thank you again.

Carol

Pros: Offers great knowledge and experience.

I saw Dr. Pacholyk for my anti-aging concerns. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and brilliant expert in this field. He designed a better nutritional and dietary format for where I currently am in my life and age. We discussed an exercise program for a man my age. We talked about boosting libido and those things that are important for a man, at any age. Dr. Pacholyk gave me a series of circulation improving, libido boosting, energy enhancing acupuncture treatments that made me feel like a new man. He suggested the right vitamin supplements and got me started on his infamous anti-aging herbal regime. It was worth the time effort and money to not only make me feel GREAT, but he gave me a new outlook on life! How many doctors can offer you that kind of confidence, empowerment and success! You need to see this man!

Pros: First hand, knowledgeable experience

Posted 04/21/09

Andrew was referred to me by my chiropractor. He had heard great things about him and recommended I pay him a visit. I was greeted by a polite, respectful guy who took the time to introduce himself. He asked me how he could help me and was very good at listening and repeating back to me exactly what I was there to see him for. He got right to the root of my problem and I was pain free after the first session. This has been a chronic back pain I have suffered from for years. The first treatment was great and the relief lasted about 3 days. I went back for several more visits with Andrew, each time he did a variation on the first treatment that worked so well. It was if he was taking the session a step forward, breaking down my pain. I am now pain free! I am really amazed and very happy that Andrew took such great care of me. I hignly recommend his work to anyone who is suffering.
Thank you, Mark Tipper

Pros: Actually listens and has great follow through!

Posted 03/10/09

I will never, never, never be able to thank Dr. Pacholyk enough for his incredible work we have done together. After a very traumatic situation in my life I was not able to get my period. I went to every Western doctor who would see me. I was repeatedly brushed off as "past my prime", "early menopause" and even "crazy". Basically, no one took anytime to look a little deeper, or to care. That completely changed after meeting Dr. Pacholyk. He is an open hearted man, who is a good listener and an even better care giver. He got my periods back to normal. To the point where I felt like a teenage girl again. As hard to believe as this is (it completely baffled me as well) I was then pregnant eight weeks later. I am currently 14 weeks along and I have called every doctor who passed me off, and told them exactly what I thought and did that feel good. I also let them all know about acupuncture and what Dr. Pacholyk has done for me. How is that for a testimonial. Run, don't walk to see Dr. Pacholyk. He offers you insight, respect and an education about your body... and your mind.

Pros: Worth everything!

Posted 02/19/09

Andrew,
Thank you for sticking needles in the sides and front of my head. My sinuses have improved!!!
And the calm dragon is magic! I had one of the most challenging work days while taping a show in the control room, and I completely kept my cool. Slept so deep, like a baby.... after years of not sleeping! I could kiss you!

LOVE YOU!!!

Posted 02/17/09

Hi Andrew Hope things have been amazing for you. California has been okay for me. A little up and a little down but my upcoming trip to New York for the holidays will help me determine whether I made the right decision or not. Anyway, I will be in town and was always need to make an appt with you. Also, just know there truly is no one else out there like you...I've had little luck meeting an acupuncturist (or doctor in general) that met my expectations made by you and the care you give your patients.

Best,
Karen Katz

Pros: The one and only

Posted 12/19/08

After many hours, Milo Thaddeus Foreman arrived. He was 12 days early on Oct. 24th. 8 lbs even and 21 inches long! We are all doing great. Tired but estatic! We could not have done this without Andrew. After months of help we were able to conceive naturally because of the acupuncture and Andrew's unique herbal teas! It was frustrating wanting to have a baby and not being able to for over three years. It was Andrew to the rescue. He is the fertility specialist!

Pros: FERTILITY EXPERT

Posted 11/17/08

It is with amazing respect and admirable affection that I would love to recommend Dr. Pacholyk as your acupuncturist. I was a women facing the fact that I may not have any children and Dr. Pacholyk turned that bad dream around for me. He helped me through several miscarriages, IUI and IVF treatments with his skills and knowledge of herbal medicine and acupuncture and his utmost talent of compassion. He is a patient, gifted, intelligent and forthright practitioner who coaxes you along in away that not only heals you but shows you who you really are. He is a true vessel of the healing arts and deserves all the adoration, news coverage and love from his patients that he receives. I am the proud mother of a two year old girl and we now go to see Dr. Pacholyk for his skill in working with children as well as with new moms like me.
He is tops on my list and should be on yours as well.
Many Blessings, Mrs. Tina Tyrell.

Pros: True professional in his field of expertise

Posted 10/13/08

It is a very stressful thing to go through fertility treatments. The urge and desire to have a baby is one of the most important issue in many women's lives. What is even more important is that when you are trying to get pregnant, it is imperative you have a successful team around you! Andrew has been a huge part of this team. He has taught me so much about 'how' the entire process works, when the body is out of balance. I am blessed that he would treat me before and after my IVF. He came to the clinic to treat me the day of. He was there to pick up the pieces when it did not work the first two times. He was there once I became pregnant. I am currently in my 19th week and I owe so much of this to Andrew.

I recommend you see Andrew, as he is a knowledgeable, trusted health care practitioner who understands the needs of any women who is going through this experience!

I look forward to him treating my children and to carry on a long lasting health care relationship with him. You should too.

Pros: INTELLIGENT

Posted 05/21/08

Hi Andrew, congratulations on that great pieces on CBS evening news! It was wonderful! I can attest to your wonderful treatments for facial rejuvenation. It has been a year since I came to you for help with my eyes, treating some fine lines around my nose and mouth and just an overall toning of my face and neck. I am so pleased with the work you did on me. I have continued the diet regimen we talked about as well as really getting into exercise now. I have seen a tremendous difference in my over all appearance and health as well. I did a lot of work to get there, but you really made it all a reality for me. Anyone who reads this review and is considering facial acupuncture, I recommend Andrew highly. By the way, I feel like it is time for a tune up, so you will see me soon. Much appreciation, Lisa Stienberg

Pros: Exceptional practitioner ~ knows his medicine

Posted 04/24/08

Thanks for the connection! I am a deep believer in the amazing benefits of Asian energy healing ! Thanks for providing excellent service and knowledge to NYC !

Pros: Insightful healer!

Posted 03/28/08

I saw Andrew on CNN and seeked him out. I was able to get an appointment the following week and went to see him. I was so very impressed by his knowledge of both Western and Eastern information and he had much experience with working on fertility and NK cells. I took his herbs and saw him twice a week.
With in 13 visits, I was pregnant! My first time! I have referred countless patients to Andrew as well as to my IVF doctor who has embraced his practice. He is deserving. And so are you! Go to this man. He will help.
I offer you my highest recommendation.

Posted 03/13/08

I went to see Andrew about 4 months ago for problems with fertility. I was experiencing difficulties in getting pregnant because of my irratic period. Within about a month of treatments, I became pregnant and was so suprised!!! Now at 12 weeks I woke up one morning with tingling and numbness on one side of my face.
Within hours the left side of my face was drooping down and I could barely speak. I was mortified. My doctors diagnosed me with bell''s palsy and prescribed prednisone! Well I went running back to Andrew for more help instead! Thank God I did. Andrew told me that this is more common in pregnant women and that with a few weeks of acupuncture treatments, we could significantly improve my face. Well I visited him 3 times a week for two weeks and my face is BACK TO NORMAL! Again, so amazed at the power of acupuncture, I am beyond hooked. I have to thank Andrew for so so much. He is a caring, compassionate, and passionate about his work! He is positive and life affirming! He has given me a baby and my appearance back. What more could any girl ask for. THANK YOU!!! In Gratitude, Ella

Pros: Life Affirming, Positive Attitude, Compassionate

Posted 02/24/08

I am so grateful I found Andrew! Through his expertise and compassion, I have found the doctor with the right blend of knowledge, know how and empathy to understand my problems and how to get me to where I wanted to be. I was a smoker for 20 years. Over time, my treatments with Andrew helped me to stop smoking and lose wieght. It was not easy, I must admit but with his guidance and encouragement, amazing treatments and herbal recommendation I gained more insight and become so much more healthier, thanks to him. I recommend him highly!

Pros: Expect in his field

Posted 02/16/08

Hi Andrew,
Just wanted to thank you again for all your help. After this past menstrual cycle, I am beginning to feel what it is really like to be "regular" and "normal. I feel so well balanced these days! You have given me my life and my confidence back and I could never be more happy and at peace! Thank you again and, as usual, I will be in touch.

You have a real and incredible spirit gift!

Pros: A wonderful doctor!!

Cons: I should have found him sooner!

Posted 10/24/07

How can I ever bring to light the most grateful feelings I have for this man! I have never experienced a caring doctor such as Andrew. He really puts the Western medical doctors to shame in the compassion department. I went to Andrew with infertility issues. I found him here on city search and was so impressed by what others have said about him and his healing work, I had to experience it first hand. He has achieved success where my gynecologist failed! I now have a healthy, baby girl, Iris Marie, and all thanks to the knowledgable, professional, focused practitioner, Andrew Pacholyk. Run, don't walk to see this man.
He is everything, I have read about him...(just try googling his name) and you will learn first hand what he can do for you.

Great blessings to you!

Pros: Run, don't walk to see him!

Posted 10/18/07

I found Andrew through his web site, Peacefulmind. His approach to weight control has changed my life. The first session, Andrew explained the entire process so that I could understand. What he would take about in western medicine, he would explain the equivalent in Chinese medicine theory. We did acupuncture the first visit and it was simply mind blowing for me. The sensations I experienced were incredible the entire week after the session. I had no cravings, I felt energized and I have not slept so deep since I was a kid!!! What I really loved about my sessions with Andrew has been the way we talk about my emotional issues that get in the way of me moving forward in my life. He is a master at this!! I had no idea I would be getting such a great therapist as well! I'm down 25 lbs in two and half months and boy, do I feel great. Don't walk..... run to see this man! Cordially, Helia

Pros: Intuitive Angel !!!

Posted 10/07/07

8 sessions got rid of my TMJ after 10 years of suffering and pain. Andrew, thank you. Your execises and great cranial work on my neck has helped me like you would not believe.

I no longer have the serious headaches, tension in my face, radiating pain and neck spasms!!!

You have the gift. I recommend you to everyone (as you now know!!)

Thank you.
Jeffery

Posted 09/12/07

I haven't posted a review on City Search before, but I think Andrew is definitely worth posting about! I went to see Andrew because of ongoing sleep issues, and have found him to be an engaging, intuitive and an amazingly effective healer. I have been doing acupuncture as well as herbs because of it, I am more relaxed during the day and night, sleeping better and having better concentration. I had to take a month off from my weekly visits due to business travel and vacation and had a noticible increase in stress level (even with vacation!) That was further proof the treatments I was receiving from Andrew were truly making a difference.

I also had stiffness in my knees after sitting still in a movie theater or aiprlane. When I mentioned this to Andrew, he altered his prescribed acupunture regimen to include my knees and the stiffness is hardly noticiable now.

The quality I like most about Andrew is he treats the body as well as the mind. He gathers a much more detailed history than I've had performed in a western medicine office visit, and this is one of the reasons (as stated in other reviews here) he is able to connect to his patients--he genuinely takes an interest in your life in addition to what is bringing you into his office.

I can't recommend him highly enough.

Pros: In tune with others, extensive knowledge and expertise

Posted 08/17/07

I went to Andrew for digestive issues and found it to only be the result of much more emotional issues with my boyfriend. Then it was the relationship between me and my mother, then my coworkers.... As Andrew pointed out my repetitive patterns, I kept finding my very own solutions to what was causing my digestive problems in the first place! Yes, I did acupuncture and I went through a few months with herbs, but these were the icing on the cake for me and helped to solve my physical aliments. What Andrew did for me, that I had no intention on seeing him about, was my emotional healing.
Oh, Andrew, I hope that even a third of New York can get to experience your healing gifts! You better write a book!

Pros: SO in tune with the physical as he makes that emotional connection, every time!!!!

Posted 08/12/07

I had no idea what I was getting into when I came to see Andrew. That was 6 months ago. I am a regular with him now! He started out treating me for a sore back and knee problem. With each visit I was able to ask so many questions. Questions I could never ask my Western doctor, nor would he have time for. Andrew is very knowledgeable with Western Medicine and if very willing to express his views on Eastern medicine and their take on things. Each week we would keep up rooting emotional connections that seemed to be underlying issues that would keep coming up.... at work, with relationships and at home. His life coach experience, I soon learned was extensive and dealt out in small doses but with earth shattering clarity and profound truths. He's better than my therapist, even. I'd rather go for some great acupuncture with a side of clarity!

Posted 07/25/07

Hi Andrew

I just read your article about anger and how it relates to Spring.

I have been feeling oddly more depressed and anxious these last few weeks. I have regular acupuncture and herbal medicine prescribed by you and it had greatly reduced the amount of anxiety that I had.

I have questioned my psycho-therapist on why I am feeling this way now. There are definately external factors that we can contribute to the flare ups I am experiencing but we weren't sure why.

Reading your article brought home that I do have a lot to be angry about and I have been trying to resolve them and take responsibility but the process is slow and long and sometimes they don't turn out like I
would like.

Your article also helped to validate my feelings and the steps that I have taken to work on the issues are similar to those that you had mentioned in your article.

This makes my acupuncture sessions with you even more enlightening!

Thank you.
Ronald Weitz

Posted 07/16/07

God bless you. After two treatments with you, I have no more pain!! I don't know how you do what you do, but it is amazing that I am not suffering. I have suffered for years with cramping pain, irregular periods and fibroids. My doctors have given me every anti-inflammatory and pills I can't even pronounce!

Two treatments have alleviated my pain. Even after the first treatment, I felt wonderful. It is incredible to wake up in the morning feeling great. I almost forgot what that felt like.

Andrew, I look forward to our next visits!

Posted 05/31/07

I went to Andrew because I was feeling stressed and tired. I was getting enough sleep but not restful sleep. I was not sure why I was getting all of these symptoms. I started getting treated by Andrew and and almost immediately started feeling some relief. My stress decreased, my sleep improved and my energy was up. I started feeling more balanced. I highly recommend Andrew for anyone experiencing these vague symptoms without any true "medical" reason. He has really helped me improve how i feel.

Pros: Very easy to talk to

Posted 05/11/07

Hi Andrew
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my digestive issues. Since seeing you I have eliminated gluten and dairy from my diet. I've also been working out more, which has been a great help. Although I still get only occasional bloating it hasn't been half as bad. I'm hoping to eliminate completely. You helped me when even my doctors and specialist could not.

Thanks again for everything. I hope to come in soon for a visit.

Best Regards,

Daniel Wallston

Pros: Very persistent in finding the answers.

Posted 05/11/07

I started seeing Andrew in September last year, just before my recurring eczema was about to start during the fall/winter months between October-March. I have experienced very dry, flaky skin with red itchy rashes for the past 30 years (early childhood). Over the past 10 years I have unsuccessfully tried alternative medicine to avoid the not so healthy Western Medicine creams, so I was at the point of just "try and see -- nothing to loose". I saw Andrew every week from Sept thru March this year. During this time, he treated me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs; occasionally he added extra acupuncture needles for other minor maladies (e.g. swollen knee from an injury). His treatment helped me so much that I hardly experienced any symptoms this year. After trying to find a solution for so many years, Andrew?s diagnosis and treatments were surprisingly effective and efficient. I will continue with him again next fall.

Posted 04/28/07

I work with Andrew for 6 months through his infertility treatments. I am so pleased that I hung in there and kept up the special care Andrew offered to me as he worked effortlessly to assist me in getting pregnant.
Thanks to him and his herbs (ugh!) I overcome my endometriosis and became pregnant!!

Andrew treated me right through my first trimester.

When the baby was turned around, I went to Andrew who in one treatment was able to breech the baby and turn him in the right direction!

When the baby was 2 and half weeks late, Andrew induced labor to help me in giving a happy and healthy birth!

I cannot ever thank him enough from start to finish. Unbelieveable!!!

All our blessing,

Mr and Mrs. Jonathon Anwaro

Pros: DO NOT HESITATE TO SEE THIS VERY BUSY, MAN

Posted 04/27/07

I gave Andrew a call after reading his article on treating muscular skeletal problems in Massage magazine.
He was courteous and very helpful over the phone, which insured my confidence in his abilities.

After meeting him and going through several of his great treatments I no longer have the intense pain I was suffering after tearing my rotator cuff during a ski accident. I had been suffering for several years and his acupuncture treatments and herb poultices have been extremely helpful.

Highly recommended for anyone suffering from this kind of pain!!!

Pros: Understands how to treat muscular skeletal pain very well

Posted 04/22/07

I came to Andrew from a recommendation from my gynecologist. I had ovarian cysts, which was making difficult for me to get pregrnant. I found Andrew to be very knowledgable about coping with and GETTING RID OF my cysts. With his herbal medicine (not the most pleasant tasting) to his acupuncture treatments ( a mini vacation every time I was on his table) I was able to get rid of the cysts that were a big cause of my infertility. Now that I am pregnant, I will see Andrew for follow up treatments in conjunction with my gynecologist.

Andrew's "bedside manner" is that of a thoughtful caring man, who likes playing dectective when getting to the root of my problems. I found that there was not only a physical blockage, but indeed a psychological one, which Andrew allowed me to discover and overcome!

I recommend this man for any women who needs to get in touch with themselves and solve the types of issues that I have overcome!

In appreciation,

Nina Bernstein

Pros: very knowledgable, real in his expectations

Posted 04/14/07

I have been seeing Andrew as a recommendation from my gynecologist for Polycystic Ovarian Cysts.
I was grateful for the recommendation from her. Andrew has been working with me for the past three months and I am so pleased with the results. I was on the pill for over 8 years and that, on top of PCOS completely obliterated my periods and my hope is to get pregnant.

Since seeing Andrew, I have my periods again! I have no more pain over my ovaries during ovulation. Andrew gave me a diet that has seemed to be helping my PCOS along with the herbs and acupuncture he has been administering.

I would highly recommend Andrew for any women coping with this. There are obviously more solutions for PCOS with Chinese medicine than my poor gynecologist could come up hence, her recommendation.

Thank you so much ~ Lori Ana Marius

Pros: One of the most knowledgable Doctors of alternative health!!

Posted 03/26/07

I have been suffering from pain after a car accident for 6 years. I found Andrew through his books and courses and was very excited when he had an opening to see me. After several sessions with Andrew, I had a 90% decrease with the pain I was suffering from the accident. What I did not expect was how he found the emotional connection that was driving my pain even deeper! This was amazing to me. We worked on my thought patterns about the pain. This was an incredible breakthrough for me!! Something I did not even realize was connected to my suffering.

Andrew Pacholyk is one of the most fascinating practitioners of energy medicine today! With his unique blend of acupuncture, somatic touch and herbal formulas, he moves the notion of healing into a new era. ~

I am grateful!!

Zachary Selig, author, "Kundalini Awakening"

Pros: He listens!

Posted 03/19/07

Andrew is a true healer. I came to him because of sleep and weight issues. Not only did he help me with them, but he also got to the core of the problem. Additionally, he doesn't have you come "forever" like many in his field or similar fields. In fact, I graduated! Andrew is a wonderfully kind person, truly knowlegable and very proficient in his field. I really can't recommend him highly enough. If you have any hesitation or question at all the body, mind, spirit approach, he will dispel any further doubts. He truly helped me and I am so appreciative.

Posted 03/15/07

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for such wonderful work that supports all women in their healing transformation and journey to reclaim their culture and healing traditions and to restore ritual in their lives. Your books have been very helpful in supporting the work that we do, especially the work we do with much younger women who want to reclaim and understand the power they have within. ~ Casa Atabex Ache, The House of Womyn's Power

Pros: supportive and responsible

Posted 03/09/07

Much appreciated!!!!
