I was desperately seeking medical help for my persistently irregular menstrual cycle, an issue I was grappling with for more than a decade. Having found no sustainable remedy anywhere, I decided to try acupuncture as the last resort. I remember calling up Inner Gate in a very dejected and somewhat skeptical tone and asking to speak with one of their practitioners. Erik called me back and I was impressed that he spent nearly 20 minutes on phone patiently answering my questions on Chinese medicine. My very first session with Erik convinced me that I was at the right place. I have been seen mostly by Oliver since then. I have found both Oliver and Erik highly knowledgeable and supremely caring, with a delightful sense of humour. I started benefiting from the treatment within 3 weeks, and now, after about 3 months of 'gentle needling' and herbs, I am very much on the path to normal health. I am always in awe of the in-depth and multidimensional analysis that Oliver carries out each time. One may argue that acupuncture, being a holistic science, is meant to be that way. But at Inner Gate, they really care for their patients as real people with genuinely unique concerns, and not just as 'patient charts'. In my opinion, this is what truly makes all the difference. Indeed, the friendly and welcoming warmth can be felt the moment one steps into the clinic. EJ, one of their support staff, has been very helpful in working with my complicated student health insurance, and I am very thankful to him for that. By the way, they have student discounts too!\r

In all, I am very satisfied with my experience at Inner Gate and have come to greatly respect everyone there for their dedicated service. I can never thank them enough for helping me with one of my biggest health concerns!
Pros: Very effective treatment, very caring people
