Acupuncture near Delmar

“I have been a patient at the Stram Center for just shy of a year and a half, and what has happened during that time is truly unbelievable. While I am not completely back to where I was before Lyme disease, compared to where I was when I first walked through their doors, the progress has been incredible.

When I first arrived at the Stram Center, I had been completely undiagnosed and dealing with Lyme disease for over a year without knowing it. I could barely walk, had extreme difficulty speaking, terrible vision issues, and a long list of other symptoms. At the time of writing this review, all of those symptoms have improved dramatically. I am on track to living the life I had before Lyme disease. My recovery is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when.

While I may not have had the most severe case the Stram Center has ever seen, I certainly have had one of the more complex and stubborn cases. Despite that, they have never stopped working to help me improve.

The Stram Center is truly second to none. I have been to many medical facilities over the years, and none of them even come close. From Dr. Stram himself to the person cleaning the building after hours, every member of the staff is professional, compassionate, and dedicated. Their only goal is helping people regain their health and quality of life. You can genuinely tell the staff wants to be there. Their compassion, positivity, and professionalism are unlike anything I have ever experienced in healthcare.

The staff makes every reasonable accommodation possible and truly works on a case-by-case basis to do what is best for each patient, both health-wise and financially. They understand the hardships that come with compromised health. While I wish there were more Stram Centers, I believe their current size is part of what allows them to provide such personalized and exceptional care.

I also took time to read through some of the negative reviews. In my experience, many come from misunderstandings about how complex chronic illness treatment works. The Stram Center had every opportunity to take advantage of my desperation to get healthy and my willingness to do whatever it took financially, yet they consistently did what was best for me, not what would make them the most money. They were always transparent about pricing, frequently found ways to reduce costs, and helped me transition long-term treatments to home whenever possible.

Lyme disease is an incredibly complex illness, and there is often disagreement between providers. None of my previous doctors agreed with my current treatment plan either — but those same doctors also could not improve my condition.

I work as a firefighter, and I would not write a review like this lightly or dishonestly. No healthcare facility is perfect, and mistakes can happen anywhere. But I can confidently say the Stram Center is one of the best healthcare facilities I have ever experienced.“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about BeAti Acupuncture in Albany, NY. Dr. Sejin and Sou Young are truly amazing—compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at what they do. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and cared for. Their team of massage therapists is also outstanding—each session leaves me feeling more relaxed, balanced, and restored. This is a place where healing truly happens. I highly recommend BeAti to anyone looking for expert care in a peaceful, supportive environment. They are simply the best!“

“I will admit that I do not have the knowledge and background to understand acupuncture and evaluate the skill of an acupuncturist. One thing I do have, however, is an ability to evaluate the way a customer is taken care of and the caring and compassion of the practitioner. It is on these latter factors that I give Eric kudos. Having recently been to another acupuncture practice in the area that felt like an assembly line and where information was hard to get this practice is completely different. You are greeted at each visit by Eric, who performs your treatment and a brief interval history is taken. He explains what he is doing and answer his questions, fully and patiently. He also has recommended some other measures that he felt would be helpful for me. He has a sliding fee scale, which impressed me tremendously. The fees are very reasonable to begin with, and I’m sure he would not be judgmental if you chose the lower end of the scale.

I am trying to be patient waiting for improvement, but in the meantime, I look forward to my visits. I have confidence that he will be honest about whether he can be helpful or not.“

“Dr. Wang is amazing! I have had two back surgeries and what she does surpasses any surgery. I believe in allowing the body to heal naturally and Dr. Wang is a catalyst for that. Thank you so much for your expertise, great bedside manner and your knowledge! If you suffer in any way, you should really give her a call!“

“Acupuncture services from Dr. Liz are vital for my best well-being. i have experienced relief from physical aches and mental ails since regularly receiving these treatments. Rooted in Wellness is where i want to stay!“

“Keith is awesome and works the areas you need worked and you leave feeling like jello.“

“I cannot recommend Angela enough! I was struggling to recover from a mild TBI for over a year. The complexity of the injury made it really hard to treat, especially when it came to getting my nervous system back into balance and dealing with allergies and the effects of hot humid weather. After working with Angela for about 2 months I was finally able to return to work and am starting to feel like I have my life back. I’m so grateful I found Angela’s practice“

“Chris really cares about you as a patient and has incredible expertise in his field. He also makes an effort to make adjustments each appointment tailored to what you feel will help you to be relieved of your pain.

I had never really heard of or understood acupuncture, until I had Lyme disease and the neurological impacts of my elbows were still impacted after trying numerous medications and other options were not working. Acupuncture really helped me be able to do everything I needed to do on a day-to-day basis that would be extremely painful before without it. Thank you so much for everything Chris! Highly recommend!“

“Dr. Kong is not only one of the nicest MD's l've ever met, she's also one of the nicest persons l've ever met. She is so knowledgeable and competent at her specialty as a pain management therapist. She has been so helpful to me throughout the years. I highly recommend her.“

“Hands down Dr. Tom is one of the best humans I have had the honor to meet. I’m so happy to have him as my chiropractor. I am truly impressed by the care & compassion he has for his clients needs. Dr. Tom listens, he asks detailed questions to understand why your body is in pain. I’ve never met a doctor/provider like him. I would highly recommend him (and trust me I have) to anyone who suffers from pain. Because of him my body is healing. He made what felt impossible, possible. I will forever be grateful.“

“I was referred to Dr. Wei by my primary care doctor. My primary care doctor said all of her patients were very happy with Dr. Wei, and now I know why. Dr. Wei is very nice and caring, and it is easy to schedule with her. I have only had three visits, but I feel amazing after each visit and the acupuncture has already helped my chronic headaches. I highly recommend Dr. Wei.“
