I have known Dr Christopher Trahan for over twenty years, both as a collegue as well as a patient.. He has helped me tremendously with several health issues, between his acupuncture, chinese herbs and homeopathy.. He is a kind and caring provider. I highly recommend him..
I found Dr. Trahan through a Groupon promotion back in March, intending to go to him for a general tune-up. Having had acupuncture before, I knew generally what to expect, but I was really pleased with Dr. Trahan's manner. He's very warm, welcoming, and friendly. He's also very much master of his subject, and I am completely comfortable with him when receiving acupuncture. I was energized and felt lighter after the Groupon treatment.
Since that first appointment, Dr. Trahan has helped me greatly with intense pain in my leg from a hip injury. I would not have successfully gotten through massage school finals without his series of treatments that got me on my feet again.
I also really appreciate the scheduling flexibility, when I have been forced to make a change in an appointment time. Dr. Trahan is always very accommodating, and obviously always does his utmost to help his patients.
I'm impressed at the big bag of tricks that Dr. Trahan pulls from, including homeopathy, nutrition, herbal medicine, and acupuncture, and I will definitely go to him with any health concerns in the future!
Dr. Christopher Trahan is my homeopath and accupuncturist who has been trained in traditional Chinese medicine. I went to him for help with my plantar fasciitis. After my treatment with Dr. Trahan, it went from being so painful to walk to being able to walk all around the city again. I never had accupuncture before and now I am a huge fan. I also experienced back pain and after one treatment, the pain was gone. Another aspect of his practice that sets him apart from other doctors is that he spends a tremendous amount of time getting to know who you are so he can help you become healthy again. He is a gem!
I'm just so damn pleased. Dr. Trahan (I think he pronounced it in a single syllable"Tran") was super flexible about my wanting to book a same-day appointment and I felt totally comfortable with him. Sweet guy.
Admittedly, I was a mess when I arrived and a mess when I left, but after a day or two, everything was fantastic. Life, the universe, everything. No more pain, no more foggy head, and tons of energy. My Qi is in good shape, oh yeah.
The way he puts the needles in, well it's not painless, but you can't argue with the results...if you live in NY, you can probably handle the intensity. Also, check out his credentials. If you're looking for someone with more experience, you might have to book a ticket to CHINA.
I started seeing Dr. Chris Trahan for stress-related complications due to moving to the end of the earth, aka Jersey City. My hair started falling out, my periods basically stopped, and I felt tense and irritable. Within one week of beginning acupuncture and herbal medicine with Dr. Trahan, I felt better.
Dr. Trahan has a background in American and Chinese herbology, acupuncture, and other bodywork modalities that work in concert with the acupuncture/herbs. He's a very warm, caring, and patient person who welcomes questions about TCM (traditional chinese medicine) from his clients. His lobby is littered with books and magazines on alternative medicine and healing and he displays a sincere interest in your health and well-being.
He's friendly and easy to talk to, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in acupuncture or herbal medicine treatments for a variety of conditions.
