About Dr. Dorine Karlin: "Dr. Karlin is working wonders for me. I have had hormonal imbalance all my life. For the past eight years it got worst and worst because more hormonal imbalance condition arose such as multiple fibroids and ovarian cysts. Two months ago I was hospitalized and underwent surgery and blood transfusion all from complications of  the above conditions. I have been battling with severe bleeding and pain. I was prescribed with a lot of medical interventions but all did not work for me. I thought my pain and suffering will not end. I was getting frustrated and depressed. Until a month ago my husband and I came across another option which is to seek treatment from a naturopathic doctor. I went online and researched for the best one I could find. When I decided to go with Dr. Karlin, it was not only that she is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable but she is very responsive, warm and caring. Right there and then I trusted her.

Initially, she started me with a once a week treatment. But because I was in a very, very bad shape, she recommended a series of  treatments which is composed of two times weekly for five weeks. But only after two weeks of treatments, my pain is 98% gone and I gained about 80% of my energy. I feel more like myself that I am going back to work in a week after being on disability for a month & a half.

Thank you Dr. Karlin for giving me light and hope. You are a miracle and blessing to me”. - B.P.

About Dr. Sarah Murphy: "The best massages go beyond loosening muscle tension and relieving stress, they help bring one's body, mind and soul back to center, back to a place of balance. Sarah's massages do that for me, she has that touch, that gift". - R.R., Artist Manager

About Dr. Dorine Karlin: "After knee replacement surgery at the Lennox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, I contracted a severe rash, which persisted for nearly one year. I was treated by two internists and three dermatologists without effective results. Dr. Karlin diagnosed the problem and the rash was eliminated in two treatments. I  also suffered from severe headaches and neck pain for nearly 11 years. The treatments I received from specialists were ineffective and resulted in severe side effects from the prescribed pain- killers. During Dr. Karlin’s first acupuncture treatment, my headache dissipated within minutes of the needles being inserted. Furthermore, her treatment protocol is treating the root cause and my duration, frequency and intensity of the pain all continue to improve". - H.K.

About Dr. Sarah Murphy: "I had been having panic attacks for about two years when I started seeing Sarah for acupuncture. They came quite suddenly and unexpected. I did have an attack and then a very slight attack in the very beginning of my treatment. But since this time, I have not had any more panic attacks. It has been quite an amazing journey for me because previously I would always be so afraid to go to bed at night as this is when they would occur. I sleep very well at night now and I am less tense and anxious and more sociable. I have also received treatment for chronic back and neck pain. My treatments for this have started easing the tension in these areas and the relief is immediate during and after treatment. Also, my mind is more alert and I think so much more clearly. I have great energy after my treatments. I am so glad I decided to have acupuncture with Sarah. It has been of great benefit to me and I will definitely continue treatments for whatever may be affecting me". - L.C., Writer

About Dr. Dorine Karlin: "I came across your business card and on the card I had written your advise 'Be your highest self, learn from those that are in your life….relationship’s are about who you are.'

I have never forgotten how you have helped me with my health, mentally and physically…" - R.C.

About Dr. Sarah Murphy: "When I recently found myself in the Allergen mecca of Dallas for a month-long gig, I was plagued instantly with the worst, most productivity halting, machine-gun-sneezing, eye-rubbing, sinus seizing allergies of my entire life. I tried many over-the-counter options including combining multiple formats of drops, sprays, and pills. When I called Dr. Sarah I was completely miserable. She gave me a short list and sent me to the health food store. Within a few hours of her prescribed combination of natural products I felt like myself again". - M.R., Artist Manager

About Dr. Dorine Karlin: "I have been seeing Dr.Karlin for acupuncture to relieve pain in my thumb, which was diagnosed as arthritis by my 'Western' doctor. He looked at me and said, 'Sorry, there’s nothing we can do.' So, I presented it to Dr. Karlin and she has brought my pain level down from about an 8/10 to almost zero.

Thank you Dr. Karlin!" - H.E.

About Dr. Dorine Karlin: "Dear Dr. Karlin, I am feeling so much better day by day. Less pain and it seems that there is an excretion of water/toxins going on.

She smiled a few times!! We really appreciate your abilities and Gift of Healing!" - P.P.
