Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Trahan is truly a gifted healer. I came to see him based on a recommendation from a close friend. At the time of my first visit, I was in pain from a gastrointestinal condition that I had been suffering from for almost a year and was considering a costly and invasive surgery. After receiving acupuncture and herbs from Dr Trahan, I began to improve and today I am fully healed. I am deeply grateful to Dr Trahan for his expertise and dedication to my healing process. I fully recommend him to any

I have been receiving acupuncture from Dr Trahan for several years, initially twice a week, and now once a week, and my symptoms have almost completely disappeared. He also specially mixes up herbs that have helped my skin and my general health. He also treats me with homeopathic remedies, and helps me with dietary adjustments according to my symptoms, my constitution, and seasonal changes. His gentle acupuncture treatments leave me revitalized after every session. He is warm & accommodating

Dr. Trahan is an exceptional doctor. I have been seeing him for several months and in the time that he has treated me I have felt a substantial difference in the way that I feel! This is in part due to his tremendous knowledge in both acupuncture and herbal medicine, but also his generous personality. Dr. Trahan is super easy to talk with, I feel very comfortable discussing any concern that I may be having about my health and my body.

He has years of training and clinical experience in herbs, acupuncture and homeopathy, so he can come at medical problems from one, or a combination of, several different approaches. Very warm and caring, takes a lot of time with you.

During a very challenging period of my life (physically, mentally, emotionally) I started going to him for acupuncture, herbs, and homeopathy. We worked together for a few years and he truly changed my life, dramatically, for the better. I feel INCREDIBLY grateful and lucky to have found him. I have never been to a holistic practitioner in the NYC area with as much dedication and the range of knowledge that Dr. Trahan has (I have a hard time imagining that there are many others).

Dr. Trahan treated me with acupuncture and homeopathy for energy, balance, and digestion, all related to my polycystic kidney disease, as well as body points directly corresponding to the kidneys. Not only did I feel stronger after my sessions, I credit him with helping me manage my symptoms until I got my transplant. As a physically nervous person, I found his warm, low-key manner welcome and comforting. I wish more doctors in traditional medicine were more like him!

  • "I had injured my back in 1978 in a parachute accident and had recurring severe lower back pain ever since. I met Dr. Trahan in 2002 and we began with a series of acupuncture treatments, twice per week. Over the years I have continued to see him consistently every 2-4 weeks. After starting treatment with Dr. Trahan, I have never had the severe back pain again. Over the years, he has effectively treated me for more mild lower back pain, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, elbow pain, and other symptoms. I continue to see him to maintain my health and prevent illness. In 2013, I was exposed to black mold while working on a house damaged by Hurricane Sandy and developed a hacking cough, which did not respond to western pharmaceutical treatments. X-rays revealed that I had black spots on my lungs. Dr. Trahan was able to effectively resolve my condition using herbal medicine and acupuncture. After this, my X-ray was clean! I strongly recommend this Dr. Trahan!"

  • "Dr. Trahan has been great! In addition to acupuncture he has provided me with herbs and homeopathic remedies that have helped. We are also working with diet and nutrition."

  • "I have been working with Dr. Christopher Trahan for four months. His treatments include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and physiotherapies such as asian and western bodywork techniques. I have been going twice per week, and he has effectively treated me for hormonal issues and elbow pain. The treatments are very relaxing, and I feel much better dealing with the daily stresses at work. I feel I am better able to care for my family, commute, and work at my very demanding job."
