If Peter ever was compassionate, that was before his current burnout. I contacted Peter to begin acupuncture during my third IVF cycle (for male factor). I ignored a few red flags during my early appointments and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I understood he wanted me to give him four months to work with me before my next cycle. However, after consulting two of the top REs in both Chicago and NY (Dr. Catenacci at AFCC Chicago and Dr. Irani at Cornell NY) I made the decision that I would move forward with a cycle in November. While I understood he would be disappointed, I expected him to be professional. I took the time to explain to Peter that in addition to the expert medical opinions I received encouraging me to move forward in November, there were a number of other factors (both personal and financial) that made this timing right for me. Instead, Peter became extremely enraged and aggressive. He informed me that if I moved forward with an IVF cycle in November, I would be unlikely to become pregnant. And accordingly to Peter, if I did, it would not result in a live birth. Then, he went on to share with me the story of a 43 y/o IVF patient of his he saw that day. He shared that he encouraged her to take time off before her next cycle, but she did not (as if 43 y/os have a ton of time..). She then became pregnant with twins. He said he then did not see her for 6 weeks. She then lost the twins at 10 weeks. He blamed her loss on her not keeping up with acupuncture. My reason for seeking acupuncture is in large part stress reduction. I don't need an acupuncturist scaring me to death. While I expect an opinion and advice, he was not professional or compassionate. I will be looking elsewhere.

I saw three neurologists, a pain management specialist, had Radio-frequency ablation which only made it worse, tried different types of pain medication and went to a physical therapist. Nothing worked. I was at my wits end. A friend recommended Frank. After 2 treatments I started feeling better. After 4 more I no longer had any pain! I was pain free for 13 months and felt wonderful... Early this fall the headaches returned. I had other health issues that may have caused the headaches to return. I visited Frank again and Voila! After 5 treatments the headaches are gone! I have to say, "It's amazing!" I highly recommend Frank. He's kind, considerate, down to earth and is wonderful about explaining the how's and why's of the practice of acupuncture. I plan to set up a maintenance program with him. When you enter the office you are greeted by Angela. She is warm, friendly and I consider her to be my friend. She has a great sense of humor and makes you feel at home!

I have since gone back for other injuries in my shoulder and arm with similarly positive results. Thanks, Angela and Dr. Grill!

I have tried many modalities to relieve early awakening and insomnia and all the stuff that goes with it. After just two visits, I noticed some real improvements in overall energy and balance, so have continued treatment. He works fast, is a an astute listener, and I do agree, his knowledge of western as well as eastern medicine puts him in a position where he can diagnose and treat patients extremely effectively with Modern Chinese Medicine. If you are thinking of trying medication or surgery, I would really strongly suggest seeing Dr Chen first. Side effects can last long after the meds have gone. i know most people know that the needles used are really barely there, but since my boyfriend told me he "didn't want needles, thank you very much", i will affirm to ye all, you will feel nothing in most cases, sometimes a small pinch. It is a pleasure to visit his office.

He has a location in Glenview and in Lombard. He's $80 per appt, and the first visit is a little more. He's magic on earth. I've been going to him since 2008.

First baby, no signs of labor and Christmas 3 days past my due date had me a bit concerned... True Story, I first saw Eric on a Saturday at 5 pm. He asked if I would be okay with going into labor in the next few days - umm YES! After our initial discussion, Eric placed the needles in various spots and 30 minutes later I was on my way. The very next morning I didn't have an appetite when my food came out at my favorite breakfast spot, which I read could be a sign of early labor..hmm. By 5pm (24 hours after my appt!!) I was timing contractions 6-7 minutes apart. Baby Girl arrived Monday at 5pm! Amazing!! Postpartum, I've visited Eric for neck and shoulder pain and he has been super attentive to my issues while helping me treat and resolve them.
