Avi Brockman-Alberta St Acupuncture Clinic

Highly Skilled and Personable Practitioner. Avi is all-around an amazing practitioner. He is highly knowledgable and skilled in Chinese Medicine (I know this because I am a relentless question-asker and he always happily answers my questions thoroughly). He is very likeable as a person, which I find is important when working with someone in such a personal way. Avi is compassionate, patient, very LGBT friendly, listens to all my concerns, and tailors treatments specifically for my needs. He has a great sense of humor and always makes me feel at ease, which, believe me, is a feat.

When I first saw Avi, I had recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue condition. I was honestly skeptical about acupuncture, but my doctor recommended Avi to me. He worked with me to make treatment financially accessible to me. At that time, I was in and out of a wheelchair and at times bedridden from pain, depressed, extremely tired, and generally had a very low quality of life. Avi even had to help me take off my shirt for the first treatment because I couldn't undress myself due to pain. Within weeks I saw great improvement. I've been seeing Avi now for almost one year and today, I go out dancing. DANCING. My life has become much less painful and more fulfilling. I can say without doubt that Avi has truly changed my life and I will always have the deepest gratitude for all he has done for me.  View Less … View More

The place to go for acupuncture. I have been going to Avi for just a few months for my extreme insomnia. I have tried everything except prescription sleeping pills and nothing has helped. I am already seeing improvement with Avi's acupuncture treatments, and herbs that he recommended. I was lucky to get one night of sleep before, and I'm now sleeping 2-3 nights a week. He always makes me feel comfortable, has been flexible with my schedule, and I feel like he genuinely cares. I am confident that I will be back to sleeping better than ever if I continue my treatments. I highly recommend Avi if you are looking for a caring acupuncturist that produces results.  View Less … View More

Best Acupuncturist!. After herniating a disc in late 2003, I tried out many different acupuncturists around Portland. The acupuncture helped my pain, but I wasn't comfortable with any of the acupuncturists until I found Avi. I have been going to him for a few years now. He really listens and has helped me through a very painful time. He has a great personality and kept me optimistic during it and his positive influence has gradually helped many other areas of my life as well. For example, I don't feel the need to drink and take pills to relieve pain anymore. In addition to being gay friendly, helping prisoners and homeless, he is also vegan friendly. I recommend him to everyone!  View Less … View More
