“Free from Long Hauler Syndrome!”
I was infected in December 2020 and suffered Post Acute sequela of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) Long Hauler Syndrome for six months before seeing Dr. Paul Ryan. I was suffering from ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis) a.k.a chronic fatigue syndrome, dizziness , shortness of breath and heart palpitations that worsened after physical and mental exertion (post-exertional malaise). This made work and exercise very difficult for me. After a month of acupuncture, manual therapy and Chinese herbal medicine treatment, the improvements were significant and almost completely solved the issue. It is nice to be able to speak to someone who takes the time to listen to your concerns and tries to have a full understanding of the different aspects of your lifestyle to figure out what may be impacting your issues and how you can actively participate in your recovery by making lifestyle adjustments. I would highly recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone struggling with symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) Long Hauler Syndrome.

We finally had a baby!
I went to see Dr. Ryan for about a year and a half and he has made a huge impact on my life. After years of trying to get pregnant and multiple cycles of IVF, I decided to try also with acupuncture. Paul helped me not only with the acupuncture sessions but also by guiding me to look at my health more holistically. Thanks to Paul's guidance my husband and I started meditation, yoga and acquiring better eating habits. Paul's teaching and example were a powerful inspiration and... I finally had a successful IVF cycle! I'm now the mother of an adorable boy.

Life Changing
If I could give 5000 stars, I would! My experience with Dr. Ryan over the past 2 years has literally turned my life around. His knowledge and breadth of understanding are never-ending coupled with a unique ability to listen and diagnose. He clearly understood that my case was complicated and masterfully charted a course of treatment on a journey to well-being. We’ve successfully worked through depression/anxiety, insomnia, an unstable heart arrhythmia and weight loss. I’m working out again, I’ve regained my clarity and peace of mind and I’ve rediscovered my ability to memorize large symphony scores so I feel ready to return to conducting. A person of this caliber is not easy to find in our current world. I’m so grateful to be on this positive path forward and I have total trust in Paul’s ability to guide me on my way to well-being. Thank you – Paul!

Lyme Disease
Dr. Ryan has been treating me for neuropathy, headaches and digestive issues that followed Babesiosis/Lyme disease and various medications I received. I've been to many doctors and with the exception of a few, none were able to give me relief or move me in a direction of resiliency the way Paul has. He listens, assesses, and diagnoses with tremendous acuity. He tailors treatments to the immediate symptoms with an eye toward long-term recovery. He expertly makes use of all sorts of modalities, from cupping to acupuncture to cranial-sacral work to prescribing herbs, all of which have given me relief and helped to build a foundation of regained health and strength. As a doctor he is sensitive, kind, intelligent and compassionate in ways that few medical professionals are today. During the COVID outbreak he went beyond the call of duty to provide guidance for herbs that will protect our family. I am eternally grateful to him for all that he has done for me and can’t recommend him enough.

Excruciating Neuralgia - Healed!
I first saw Paul Ryan in 2016 after I had undergone traditional treatments for sciatic nerve pain. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found such a caring, generous and knowledgeable human being to help me manage what at one point was an excruciating level of pain. Paul is very professional and meticulous, has always treated me with respect and has answered my questions. The intake interview is hands down the most thorough and complete that I have ever had in my life. That was the beginning of a great experience that is still ongoing. Presently I receive care from Paul every other week and I find myself looking forward to those visits. He expertly finds the ailing spots in my 70 years old body and makes them better! His approach is one where the connection of body and mind is ever present. Paul Ryan has magic hands, a welcoming smile, a kind heart. He inspires trust.

Chronic Pain - No More Medications
I can’t recommend Dr. Paul Ryan highly enough. I have been in chronic pain for many years, but a recent fall left me in unbearable and constant pain. I walked to my first visit with a cane. I was astonished at how thoroughly Paul examined me. Never in my life has a medical professional addressed my issues holistically. It was a revelation. He was thoughtful, insightful and included factors that had been ignored or never even recognized by other medical professionals. After his very careful examination Paul gave me a preliminary assessment of possible root causes for all my distress, and how we might proceed to resolve them. After the first few visits, it was clear that I was in the hands of a gifted and knowledgeable healer. Slowly I began to truly feel BETTER. I set the cane aside and stopped taking Rx pain pills. Our work is not done. It took me 75 years to get in this shape, but I have no doubt I’ll recover and have a better life from this point forward because of Paul’s care.

Holistic Infertility Care
I started seeing Paul for infertility issues but quickly learned that his acupuncture techniques treated the whole body and not just the issue I came in for. In the process of working with Paul, my dry skin got better. My insomnia went away. Recurring tension headaches and sinus issues disappeared. But the best result from my treatment was conceiving and carrying my little man full term. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Paul.

Cured Difficult to Treat Allergies
My treatments with Paul were transformational. Prior to my first treatment I had been taking OTC and prescription medications daily to manage my allergy symptoms. This went on for nearly 20 years. Although I had consulted with my medical doctor, several allergists and an herbalist, the only way to I was able to get any relief was with medication and that was not always successful. After my first treatment with Paul I stopped taking the meds and have not taken any since. This result was so powerful I referred all my friends. Go see him now!

The Only Practitioner that Helped
Paul is one of the brightest and most compassionate medical professionals I have met. His knowledge sometimes seems to be never-ending and, when obstacles arise, he is always willing to take the time to research new approaches. Further, his ability to integrate disciplines has proven to be extremely effective. I’d been to so many medical professionals to address my issue and none could help until I worked with Paul. While words will never do it justice, my experience with Paul has been life changing.

The Best Acupuncturist I’ve Seen
Paul Ryan is head and shoulders over any other acupuncturist I have seen. Every time I see him, he takes the time to talk to me and see what would be the best treatment for me on that day. He does not program a plan of treatment that he sticks to without consideration of the changes that have taken place since my last visit. Not only that, but the variety of approaches and techniques he is proficient at is unparalleled. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Depression and Infertility
I can't speak highly enough of Paul Ryan - his practice has literally changed my life. I began working with him a year ago while I was recovering from a massive intestinal surgery. His acupuncture drastically improved my ability to digest and process food. What I value so much about his work, though, is his holistic approach: we have since used acupuncture, meditation, and craniosacral therapy to support me as I went off of my SSRI and conceived my first child. Thank you so much Paul!

Spinal Stenosis Pain - Disappeared!
I started seeing Paul in 2018 after decades of back pain. After several acupuncture treatments with Paul, my pain disappeared and hasn't returned since (almost two years). Paul is a wealth of information on various types of treatment and clearly cares deeply for his patients. He's a terrific listener and is efficient but never seems rushed. This was only my second experience with acupuncture and I was somewhat skeptical. Now I'm a believer, at least with Paul. I recommended Paul to my wife, who also had a great experience with him.

Depression, Anxiety and Insomnia
Dr. Ryan is a very gifted and learned practitioner! I received acupuncture that provided remarkable results. It was so successful that I have been able to maintain a state of balance and calm throughout my body and mind as well as reboot my troubled sleep cycle. His approach with me was succinct and his evaluation thorough. Dr. Ryan is supporting a personalized health plan that all of my doctors agree with and he has provided a path for personal balance and clarity of mind that I am extremely grateful for. Dr. Ryan is one in a million. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan and East-West Integrated Wellness to anyone who is seeking mind-body well-being.

Pain Free in One Session
Paul Ryan is the most phenomenal acupuncturist I've ever been to. He literally healed the agonizing pain I was feeling from a torn tendon in my elbow in one session. He is a gifted healer who is devoted to his path - and shares his gifts generously. I highly recommend him for pain treatments and numerous other issues.

Most Impressive Acupuncturist — Trauma Recovery
I saw Paul several years ago while visiting my son in New York City. I was in need of continuing my acupuncture while traveling there after a car accident. I have been receiving acupuncture for nearly 40 years, and Paul is the most impressive acupuncturist I have ever experienced. All of the tactics he learned in China provided great relief to me. On return trips to NYC I always scheduled appointments with him. After Covid, I hope to return to NYC and receive treatments again.
