Thank you for checking out my website. I assume you are here to figure out if I can help you with your health issues. Likely I can. I'd say there is greater than an 80% chance I can bring some relief to whatever issues are plaguing you. I have special interest in hard-to-treat cases related to chronic inflammation, pain, digestive disorders, gynecology and fertility issues, and men's health.
The initial acupuncture session is typically 1.5 hours which includes an initial intake of about 45-60 minutes as it is important for me to understand your health history. We review your current medical condition(s) and medical history. For followup acupuncture sessions we sit down with a check-in to see how you responded to the prior sessions and where you are at on this day and in this moment.
I am a preferred provider for BCBS, Cigna, Allways and Aetna and will bill directly for you if you have coverage. Please call your insurance company and ask if nutrition is covered as well as acceptable conditions for CPT code 97803. Some insurance plans impose treatment restrictions such as limiting the number of sessions and/or the allowable diagnoses.
What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is a clinically proven medical modality for treating a variety of ailments. It is a one branch of the Chinese Medicine systems used for at least 2000 years. Acupuncture is used to treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being by inserting needles in a specific combination at select points.
Truth be told our bodies change with time, they change depending on our current state of health and they change with the seasons. So the answers to the above questions will change with time. My job is to understand you so you can find physiological balance through diet. At our first meeting we will discuss your health history and your current health concerns in great detail.

George was a godsend! I was struggling with terrible topical steroid withdrawal and eczema, fatigue & allergies and his treatment helped tremendously with the chronic discomfort and pain i was experiencing. Was so refreshing and relieving to find a health practitioner who listens to and cares about his patients. highly recommend. the beautiful parks in Stow are a plus :) looked forward to my acupuncture treatments (and Chinese herbal remedies) every week. Felt better as i continued to see him. Thank you George!!

I have been working with George for five months now and words can’t express how great my experience has been. He is an amazing practitioner. Before I found him, I had been feeling the most ill I had ever felt in my life - I had severe GI symptoms that had drastically reduced the qualify of my life. After spending a year and a half going through the hospital system which did nothing for my Illness but leave me feeling physically worse and emotionally exhausted and frustrated, I found George.
Right away at my first appointment with George, I knew that I had come to the right place. George did

As a 15+ year Meniere's Disease sufferer, finding effective treatment for the frequent vertigo attacks and lingering brain fog symptoms can seem nearly impossible. Most GP's or ENT's don't know enough about the condition to treat it without high risk procedures that are not guaranteed to work. George was the first medical professional I've met, who was genuinely optimistic and committed to helping me get back to the healthy and active person I was before. The combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and diet changes, I feel like I am finally in a place of recovery. I couldn't be more pleased

George is an extraordinary practitioner. He is thoughtful, listens attentively to your issues, and very knowledgeable. He genuinely cares that you not only heal, but reach optimal health, and it shows in his treatments.
George has been treating me for about 2 months and all my inflammation, numbness and pain are gone, without drugs.
I am sleeping through the night and I feel happier and healthier than ever.
I highly recommend him to anyone considering an alternative to Western medicine or in addition to it. He is the best!

One word. Amazing. George is the best of the best. I was actually recommended to George from my OBGYN as I was struggling with painful and heavy menstrual cycles that were really impacting my day to day. With regular weekly treatments, my issues are resolved. I was able to do this without the conventional route of having to take prescribed hormones. George was able to address this by focusing in on me as an individual, rather just my chronic dysmenorrhea. This is something that most western medical doctors aren't able to do. He was also able to guide me though nurturing myself with better foods

One of the greatest regrets I have is not finding George sooner. It makes me sad to think about my first three pregnancies where my vomiting was so out of control and how my fourth went in comparison. George’s herbs and acupuncture changed my pregnancy completely. I love the sort of calm meditation that was part of the acupuncture and also the ritual of drinking the herbs became a part of the day I looked forward to. I had unbelievable energy and I think it was why I had such a seamless delivery (under 30 minutes). He took care of me postpartum as well and also helped me realize I was indeed

I started seeing George summer 2019 du to whiplash from a car accident , when George fixed this problem I continued with him for some emotional imbalances. With his Korean acupuncture style he was able to release all the blockages I had , I am so much in balance now and in a so much better place! It was a life changing..
Two months go my dad got sick with covid and was hospitalized for a month, I was going back and forth with George using tele medicine, he was following up with every single symptom and prescribed herbs for my dad who is diabetic with weak Kidneys and very compromised Lungs. I

George Mandler resolved my long-standing health issues that had western medical doctors baffled. I can’t say it any other way. I saw George regularly for at least a year (even longer now) and never felt better in my life. I have been able to take some time off from treatments bc I have felt so good, but I always come back to him anytime I feel anything negative happening to my health. He deserves 5 stars for everything. My Husband is now seeing him and already understands why I was so dedicated to my treatments with George.

George is a truly an excellent practitioner. First and foremost, he really listens and takes great notes, which he refers to regularly at each visit. He is intelligent, well studied, and very reflective on his approach to treatment. Acupuncture with George twice per week during chemotherapy was instrumental in treating side effects of both chemo and neulasta. Having had several rounds of chemo without acupuncture and then more rounds with acupuncture, I was amazed at the difference in how I felt. Post chemo, George helped me to quickly return to excellent health. His staff is very helpful and the

I have had chronic issues going on that nobody could figure out for about a year and I was so desperate for help. Dr George was able to fast track me on my way to health in just two weeks before I headed back to school. This is my first acupuncture experience, Dr George made sure I was comfortable and explained everything he was doing so clearly. I will be coming back for more treatments!
