I feel very lucky to have found Frank Vogt as an acupuncturist. He helps me every time I see him. He is a great combination of knowledgeable, professional, and genuine. He listens intently and has a wonderful gentle manner. Besides knowing Frank as a patient since 2007, I am a midwife and have referred many patients to him with the patients also being happy with his care. I am a big fan.\r \r Susannah Donahue-Negbaur\r Pros: great combination of knowledgeable, professional, and genuine more

After 7 months of unsuccessful fertility treatments a friend recommended trying acupuncture. Looking for ways to help get through the stressful process I eagerly called Frank. After one session with him I knew I had come to the right place. Frank creates a soothing environment that sets the tone for deep relaxation. He has a strong sense of understanding and takes the time to listen to how you?re feeling, physically and emotionally, so that the session is as productive as possible. Through the use of visualization exercises, herbal teas that were customized with fertility in mind, and of course the acupuncture, I credit Frank for helping my husband and I finally achieve conception. I couldn?t think of a better way to start a healthy pregnancy and I look forward to continuing working with Frank throughout the next 9 months and beyond.\r - Tracy, Park Slope/Soho\r Pros: knowledgeable, genuine more

Frank is an incredibly gifted being who is passionate about helping others. He understands the pain and goes right to it. In our sessions, Frank has shown immense compassion and patience. He has helped me deal with life long issues and has cured my back from a long time injury. He has taught me more about myself than I would ever on my own. He is a gift to anyone who encounters him. I cannot recommend him enough. Pros: Frank is a highly gifted person who helped change my life. more

When I first started acupuncture, I had been experiencing back pain for as long as I could remember. I had tried just about every traditional remedy out there, to no avail. Remarkably, over the course of my acupuncture treatment, I found not only lasting pain relief, but an entirely new perspective on wellness that will stick with me forever. With Frank's guidance, I was impacted by the simple yet powerful idea of the\r connectedness between emotional/spiritual experience and physical health. Frank's practice acknowledges this connection, resulting in the type of healing that seems to target not only the specific problem area, but the whole person. Physically speaking, I feel better than ever. But almost\r more importantly, through this treatment I have experienced healing in a larger sense. Frank's instinctive methodology, open-heartedness and patient attentiveness have brought peace to both body and spirit. \r Pros: Frank is an openhearted, skilled, and a kind practioner who helped change my life. more

Both my husband and I have been going to Frank for over six months. I went for help with the side-effects of going through treatment for breast cancer, and my husband went for help healing from a traumatic brain injury. Both of us have been very satisfied with the results. I have to admit the idea of needles, no matter how small, was not a thrill for me. However Frank made it a really comfortable and easy process. He explained what he was doing and why (he is very knowledgeable in his field) and his professional, yet kind manner made the entire experience a good one. As to it?s effectiveness for me, well, my oncologist said that she has never seen someone go through chemotherapy so well (read: very little side effects). I believe I did a variety of things to help make that happen, and acupuncture was a core part of that plan. Carlos went twice a week for about three months to help him with his neural fatigue, memory problems and back pain. Utilizing a combination of acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbs, Frank?s treatment plan for Carlos was quite effective in helping Carlos?s brain to heal. Carlos wholeheartedly credits Frank as part of the reason that his brain has healed so fast and so effectively; to such an extent that even Carlos?s neurologists are surprised. The end result is that both my husband and I endorse Frank without reserve. Pros: His Skill, Focus, and results, more

it all started with me throwing my back out. i went to frank hoping he'd relieve some of the pressure on my lower back, so i could at least stand up straight. i was met with more than just a guy with a couple of needles and come tricks up his sleeve. frank is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people i've been lucky enough to meet. shortly after my back began to heal i found out i was pregnant. immediately i panicked thinking the back pains would return and i would be debilitated during and after my pregnancy. but it didn't happen. in fact, a year plus later i am still without back pains. i continued to see frank on a regular basis getting treatments for my back and pregnancy. frank took the power of acupuncture and healing to a new level. he has so much passion for his work which is evident during the sessions, that you have no choice but to feel better and stronger. because of his commitment to his work and to my well being, i asked frank to treat me during my labor. it was an incredibly private moment in my life, but it felt right to have frank treat me before i left for the hospital. i am so grateful for frank's ability as an acupuncturist and healer. everyone should be so lucky to have a frank in their life. \r \r Pros: like I said, you have no choice but to feel better. more

I had my children see Frank for sleeping problems. He was not only sweet, kind and gentle with the kids but seemed to genuinely care about them. After 3 or 4 sessions and a short regimen of herbs my son was healed. I am now in the process of taking my daughter to Frank for the same problem and I am sure we will have a positive outcome as I see that Frank has a gift of healing. Thanks for everything Frank.\r \r \r Pros: he is kind, gentle, sweet, and skilled more

Since receiving treatment, I have never felt better. My energy level is the best it has ever been and my attitude is more positive. My asthma symptoms are finally under control and I feel my immunity is stronger. While most people around me are getting sick with colds and viruses, I remain amazingly strong and healthy. I used to always be the one to get sick, and now people are asking me how I am staying so healthy. It is refreshing to be under the care of a professional who really helps me and who cares about my health and well being physically and emotionally. Thanks, Frank!\r Pros: way up! more

I have been suffering from fibromyalgia for many years, making work and daily chores very painful thus leaving me tired and unable to sleep. My first visit with Frank was different from all the doctors that I have been to for this problem. He listened to my medical history and took his time with me, He made no promises but felt assured he could help me. After my first visit I felt more energy and an overall well being. Each time I see him he gives me the same quality of care he did on my first visit with him. Finally I have found someone who is caring and also knows how to help me. As an added bonus, I am now seeing Frank for facial acupuncture. I am a 56 year old woman that showed her age due to sleepless nights and the stress from fibromyalgia. I am slowly seeing the stress leave my face and wrinkles disappearing. Feeling better and looking better is a true gift to me. Frank has added years to my life. more

I had been to Frank over a year ago to help me with some menstrual issues. My husband advised me to see him after his friend got cured of his Prostate problem. within 2 months I was so better (no cramps or other problems) and within 3 I was pregnant! He helped me through my entire pregnancy and I am blessed enough to now have a baby boy (Lee). Frank put up with alot of my whining over the past year, and now I have him to thank for better health of body and mind. more

I had been to an acupuncturist in LA, but Frank was much more personable and I got better in a few sessions. Much better experience for me here in NY. He does a lot of talk therapy type stuff and craniosacral therapy, which helps me . My skin also really cleared up after some time. Frank is great! Pros: THumbs up! more

Frank was by far the best alternative therapist we have been to. His attention and care he showed to my daughter was a big part of her recovery I'm sure. more
