I saw Dr.Marco for a second visit for pain in my left knee. After the first acupuncture treatment done 4 days previously, I noticed less stiffness and pain in my knee. He again was prompt and saw me immediately. He performed the acupuncture treatment and checked on me frequently during my visit. After the treatment, as my pain was gone, he advised I call him as needed if the pain should re-occur. I would highly recommend him.

I am currently into my 4th month of treatments, twice weekly, with Dr. Marco. I first contacted Dr. Marco in Dec, 2016, with a medical diagnosis of Stage 4 bone cancer with tumors/holes in most of my bones including arms, legs, hips, thighs, etc. My pain threshold was a 10 on my right side from above my knee to my waste. My breast cancer from 2014 metastasized into the bones. Previously I reluctantly used traditional methods of surgery, kimo, and radiation...which left me free of cancer but broken down. This time I decided to go with the alternative healing methods. I knew of Dr. Marco's reputation. This was my first acupuncture experience. Prior to my scheduled surgery to put pins & a bar in my right leg ( already in severe pain) I called Dr. Marco to see how confident he was to help heal this condition. It was a very encouraging conversation, After a day of contemplation, I was convinced and confident that I would heal and be gentle with my body. I canceled the surgery, limo & radiation plans and went forward with a 100% conviction. I also had broken a rib on my right side from coughing during a cold which started my journey with doctors concluding with my diagnosis of cancer. My treatment included an 8 month commitment towards wellness. This was comprised of two appointments a week for acupuncture, cancer healing/mucous elimination herbs, cleansing herbs, a nutrition plan free of dairy, sugar, raw fruits & veggies...encouraging basmati rice, dal (. Indian term for dried beans or lentils for the protein-being a vegetarian, greens and food fruit & vegetables. Pizza and ice cream were out! Walking gently 30 minutes a day was recommended along with meditation for 15 minutes a day. I was already familiar with meditation & chanting the Hare Krsna Mantra so continued with this and all his suggestions. He told me I should feel better each visit. Within the first two weeks my 9-10 pain threshold on My right side reduced to about a 5-6, My weight was a concern for me because of my delicate bones. Without any great effort I began to see my weight come off almost naturally...as though to take undo pressure off of my hips & legs. Each week my pain changed from side to side, My lower back, My left ribs, etc. Dr. Marco encouraged me through these last three months to remain positive & hopeful....which was easy for me considering my alternative. Each week I saw improvements with pain thresholds becoming lighter. A few times I had some severe pain and just continued to work with program....I never lost hope . Now, beginning my 4th month, my right rib is healed, my severe level 10 pain on my right side never returned , my back pain is reduced to a weak feeling...and I continue to see the movement of different discomforts as "healing pain" I am very confident that I made the right choice; am on the road to wellness & some great new habits of nutrition, overall great health & exercise etc, I know where I would be today with the traditional treatments. I am encouraged, very happy, and so pleased that Dr. Marco came into my life. Another great blessing. I am looking forward to the next 4 months and beyond....having a renewed lease on life. .

I came into Dr Marco's office with no idea of what to expect from acupuncture and therapy, I had been suffering for years with a host of problems including a broken back from a car accident, extreme anxiety and panic attacks, and the side affects of years of unsuccessful hospital visits and strong medications. Right away I truly couldn't believe how quick and effective the treatments were. Dr. Marco constantly communicated a clear and honest game plan of how to treat Me. His evaluations were spot on from the start, what years of psychiatry couldn't do He nailed down in a matter of a couple weeks. I can say with confidence that if You follow his game plan of acupuncture, diet, and mental homework that You will get incredible results. I honestly had lost hope in regaining a normal, happy life until I started acupuncture treatments. It doesn't happen overnight but without a doubt it works! I can say that anyone with chronic pain, on drugs or strong prescribed medications, or Anxiety should definitely get in contact with Dr. Marco right away and start working to get Your life back!

I have been going to Marco for over 2 years since I have several conditions to correct. And each time I go I feel as if something becomes a little better. The unique style of acupuncture that he preforms and the herbs that he prescribes seem to work their magic in helping my body heal itself.

After several specialists, Dr Marco was the first to offer real results in treating my digestive and stress problems. Well worth every visit!

My wellness journey would not be complete without Dr. Marco! When other mainstream medicine options did not have the answer, Dr. Marco was there with a solution. I don't know what I would do without him! I am grateful for all of the care and support I have received. I would recommend his practice to any friend, family or colleague!

Going to Dr. Marco for approximately three years.Everytime I go it's a wonderful experience.He has helped me so much with so many different ailments. When I call him and it's an emergency he always seems to fit me in,which is wonderful. Went to different doctors for years for IBS and finally Dr. Marco solved my problem.

My experience and treatment with Dr. Marco has been completely life-changing! I originally went to Dr. Marco with a shoulder injury. I had been to countless doctors, physical therapists, and other physicians trying to relieve pain for over 10 years and was still in tremendous, debilitating pain on a daily basis. One day I received an e-mail from Groupon and saw a deal for Complementary Healthcare. Seeing as how I was desperate for pain-relief, I figured I'd give "the quack" a try and didn't have much to lose. I came to my first visit quite skeptical that he would be able to much of anything for me. However, within a few minutes of the treatment, the pain in my shoulder was 80% better! I was shocked that the pain never came back! Rather, after another visit or two, I was completely pain-free! Though my shoulder felt better then ever, I continued to see Dr. Marco for inflammation in my liver. I hade noticed inflammation and pain in my liver area prior to my initial visit and found it to be quite concerning. I mentioned this to two other doctors and they brushed it off as nothing. However, Dr. Marco took my concerns seriously and assured me he could help. Upon reviewing my paperwork and speaking with me, Dr. Marco stated that he saw I was epileptic and commented that he could help with that. I admittedly brushed him off and thought, "Let's just stick with the small stuff!" However, after a few months of seeing my tremendous progress, I began to trust Dr. Marco more and more. After a detailed conversation with him about how he would proceed in treating my epilepsy, one evening I left his office with a very different feeling. I vividly remember driving home and calling my Mom to share with her about my conversation with Dr. Marco. She was extremely skeptical about having him treat me for seizure activity. Yet, something in me had changed. With tears streaming down my face, I said to her, "For once in my life, I feel like I have hope. What if I could actually have a life without medication?" During my next visit, I told Dr. Marco that I wanted to proceed with treatment for my seizures. Since then, he has worked closely with me as I slowly weaned off my medication and was treated with Chinese herbs and weekly acupuncture treatments. I have now been off my medication for 9 months and am doing phenomenal! Dr. Marco has literally transformed my life! I don't remember a time where I didn't have to rely upon medication. My life pre-acupuncture consisted of necessary daily naps, poor memory, and numerous side effects from medication. Now, I start each day with putting natural, Chinese herbs in my body. In addition to being seizure-free, I am headache-free, my skin is clear and glowing, and my hair is softer than it has been my entire life. Dr. Marco's approach to healthcare is extremely refreshing. He truly works from the inside out and has a genuine interest in seeing each of his patient's improve. Since my initial visit, my life has been completely transformed and I feel like a new individual. Words cannot express how sincerely thankful I am for Dr. Marco. He has given me a renewed sense of hope and has liberated me from a life in bondage to medication.

Neck pain that had plagued me for 8 years was dramatically reduced after the first visit. For the first time in several years, I have changed my diet, based on Dr. Marco's recommendations, resulting in an over 25 lb. weight loss. I began walking regularly and have gotten off prescription blood pressure medicines. I am currently on some Chinese preparations for blood pressure as I continue to walk, watch my food intake, and lose more weight. I am coming to see him now on a maintenance plan which helps keep me motivated to press on! My goal is another 20 lbs. weight loss and to continue to wean off the Chinese preparations. There are absolutely NO side effects to these preparations like I'd experienced with traditional pharmaceutical meds.

I have been seeing Dr.Marco for about 6 months. It has been a real life changer for me. I initially went to see him for unexplained dizziness which was corrected in 2 weeks, however, started to mention the numbness in my hands which I found out was cardio related. I feel like I avoided some serious health complications by seeing him. He is always very positive, responsive to questions, and accessible. I am continuing to see him and feel much healthier and leading a better lifestyle. I don't think I will go back to seeing a MD now that Dr. Marco is around
