Report
Dr. Shikhman has helped me when traditional medicine could do absolutely nothing for my pain and atypical symptoms. I am extremely grateful for her help. She has great listening skills and is very knowledgeable. Her formulas gave me back a quality of life that I had lost hope for. Besides being able to enjoy my full time job, I can even make plans for some activities on the weekends without fear of collapsing. THANK YOU Dr. Shikhman!

Report
I had been diagnosed with Lyme disease approximately 5 years ago, symptoms would reoccur every 6 months or so. As my symptoms worsened my general practitioner continued to treat me with antibiotics, after several years I felt it was time to try something new. I did my research on line and found Dr. Shikhman, it has been 9 months and I feel better than I have for the past 15 years! My husband has also seen Dr. Shikhman although he does not have Lyme we wanted to get him checked out because of how well I feel.

If you are looking for a miracle doctor, do not go any further. Dr. Shikhman mixes her supern knowledge of homeopathic remedies and acupuncture to make impossible a reality. In few weeks she achieved what conventional doctors could not do in years. She took my pain and anxiety away! Dr. Shikhman is always professional and courteous but more importantly she cares about her patients. Thank you very much from me and my family!
