"I am a 42-year-old woman, who has been a patient of Dr. Dein Shapiro for several years. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder about 5 years ago. Dr. Shapiro prescribed Xanax to take each day. At first the dosage was quite high, but presently I am down to ¾ of a mg per day. Dr. Shapiro suggested to me to think about having acupuncture done to relieve some of my anxiety. At first, I did not want to think about "needles" actually helping my disorder. Well after further discussions with Dr Shapiro, I decided to try a treatment. I must say I was very nervous at first, when he placed the needles in me at different places on my body (head, chest, hands and feet) he told me to lay back and try to relax. I closed my eyes while listening to classical music for about 30 minutes. Dr. Shapiro checked in on my quite frequently to be sure I was during okay. After removing the needles, I sat up and felt wonderful! I have been going back for treatments monthly since July."
