Yael Merav, L.Ac., Ph.D, DOM

I have had chronic lower back pain since December.
I’ve been to a neurosurgeon and have had 2 epidural shots which made it even worse. By chance i found Dr. Merav and she is the BEST and I’m so happy to have met her. I was able to see her on a Sunday. The hours are amazing, she is very professional/​caring, and her office immaculate and relaxing. During my FIRST session I found relief and that night I actually slept without interruption and same experience the following session. I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend her.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Merav for almost 15 years. She has helped me with health issues on multiple times and I can not stress how much I trust her and appreciate her knowledge. She is very professional and caring. Thank you!!!

I suffered from chronic back pain from an abundance of stress, cupping therapy relieves me of the overwhelming pain. The needles are also good for stress. I started bringing my mother here for diabetic neuropathy pain. Dr. Yael knows what she is doing, and teaches us something with every visit. Thank you for existing, Yael!

I’ve been coming to Dr Merav for over 10 years!!! She is the best acupuncturist in town and all over! She’s helped me immensely with my immune system, migraines, aches and pain! She’s very caring, understanding and knowledgeable about your body and eastern medicine! Highly recommend her!

I am seeing Dr. Merav for allergies, indigestion and chronic sinusitis. She is using an acupuncture technique called NAET and I am seeing relief of symptoms I have been fighting for years with prescriptions and OTC meds. I am not taking any medication now and I am feeling so much better! Also, unsolicited, my hairdresser told me today that I have new hair growth — I think my body is starting to absorb the vitamins and minerals it needs because I am not sensitive to foods like I was before the treatment. Dr. Merav is kind with a healing energy. She listens. I am encouraged about my health for the first time in years. I highly recommend Dr. Merav.

The best acupuncture in town for humans and dogs! Dr. Merav, is the best of the best! When I had shingles she gave me a treatment and the pain instantly went away! Most def recommend!

I am new to acupuncture and can easily recommend Dr. Merav. I have severe sciatica and have been consulting surgeons and one recommended I also explore acupuncture. It is beginning to make a difference. Dr Merav is very professional and caring and knowledgeable.

Recently my daughter has started acupuncture treatment for clearing her skin and she loves it. We will continue on this path with Dr Merav. She put her on the vitamins and spoke with her about diet and treatments. Look forward to the future and seeing what great results are ahead.

I recently went to see Dr. Merav for an acute onset of severe, upper back pain. I was willing to try anything as the pain was unbearable. I have never really believed in acupuncture but after just one treatment the pain was already 50% improved. I am now a forever client. Not only is my back pain completely gone but now we are working on more chronic areas. She is so gentle, personable and just a great doctor!!! Thank you Dr. Merav!!!

Yael Merav is an outstanding acupuncturist. I have seen her a number of times over the past few years, always with excellent results. Just recently, I tripped on a stair and fell flat on my knees and wrists. I was extremely worried because I had recently seen an orthopedic surgeon who had told me I would probably need a knee replacement in the near future and I have also suffered from torn tendons in both my ankles over the last five years. She worked on my three times during the past three days, and I was able to walk at a normal pace and climb stairs today. I call her a miracle worker.

In the medical field there are may good, if not great practitioners. If a person is lucky or in sync with the universe you have the blessing of meeting a true healer. Dr. Merav is one of these very special medical practitioners, a true healer.
I have worked with many in the medical field in many specialties and have been very impressed, and disappointed, on several occasions. But with Dr. Merav I have been in awe of what she has accomplished.
She is always very clear and concise about what she can and cannot do for you. A great job of managing your expectation and results. I have gone to cardiologists and internist to manage my high cholesterol with no success of following their diets and taking their medications. Most of the medications I had a very negative reaction.
After my last visit to my cardiologist he wanted to increase my medication. I went to Dr. Merav who studied my blood work for weeks before prescribing me a program designed to detoxify my liver and reduce inflammation in my body. Remarkably, I am no longer taking any prescribed medications from my cardiologist and my cholesterol is within normal ranges. She has also managed to reduce the inflammation in my body to where I no longer have aches and pains as before. In addition, my energy has increased and I seem to think clearer.
Her integrity is second t none. I went to her once for leg pain and asked for acupuncture treatment for it. She examined me and said that I did not need such a treatment because I had a great deal of tension in my lower back that was causing the pain. She referred me to a massage therapist and after one session the pain was gone.
Dr. Merav’s healing powers is not limited to people. I had a cat who fell and damaged hi spine. The cat could not move his legs and from his shoulders down he was a limp noodle. no movement at all. I rushed him to an emergency Vet who did an MRI on him and said there was leakage in the spinal canal and that he needed emergency surgery. I call my personal Vet who is also an acupuncturist and asked what is the efficacy of back surgery versus acupuncture. She said the results were ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. The Vet who did the MRI told me that if I did not opt for immediate surgery the cat would never walk again. I chose the acupuncture route.
When I arrived at my personal Vet’s office she was busy and Dr. Merav was there volunteering her time. Dr. Merav examined my cat and said, «Oh, we should be able to have him up and around in a couple weeks. From your lips to God’s ears I thought. Seven days, ten days over the course of treatment this cat’s condition did not change at all. Still the same helpless animal with no movement in his limp body from the shoulders down. Dr. Merav kept telling me that it takes time to get the energy flowing again.
Then on Day thirteen my cat attempted to stand and walk. In two steps he fell down. On subsequent days he kept trying and would walk a little further. Short story is this. From three weeks of the day he fell and became paralyzed he was walking and jumping upon the sofa. I am happy to show the video of his progress to anyone that wants to see it.
One person told me that acupuncture was just a placebo. Then I told the person about my cat and showed the video. I finished with, «I am certain that my cat did not know what was going on with Dr. Merav’s acupuncture. So I feel comfortable in saying that it was more than a placebo»,
Dr. Merav is a blessing that has come into my life. She has changed it for the better and I am eternally grateful that our paths have crossed. I am certain that all who know her feel exactly the same as I do.

I am a nursing student, and I have to do an assignment which I have to learn about traditional Chinese practices (acupuncture, acupressure, or herbs). I am currently taking an ob class, so the learning must be about how the traditional Chinese practices can help pregnant women like their back pain, edema, and etc.
I thought I would easily find an herbalist or an acupuncturist, who could help me, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was. I went to an herb clinic that was close to my house, but I was rejected by the herbalist because he told me that he was busy. I was really sad and stressed out. I searched for another clinic that was in Chinatown. I saw that this clinic had good reviews on Unilocal,but when I called them, they also rejected me. All they said was just go to an acupuncture school. This was my second rejection. I was really unhappy. I thought the reason these people rejected me maybe because I was not their customer and they might think that they would not get anything in return if they help me. I hate getting rejected.
Then I decided to find an acupuncturist on Google. I decided to choose Acupuncture Health Solutions because on the website I saw that Dr. Merav does acupuncture on animals (I am an animal lover), and when I saw Dr. Merav’s picture, I thought she looked nice. I was very nervous to call Dr. Merav because I was scared that I was going to get rejected. When I finally called her, she said «Sure, I’ll help you.» I was soooooo happy.
She scheduled an appointment with me. She told me to come to her clinic on Oct. 24^th at 5pm. Her clinic was very easy to find and there was free parking. When I went to her clinic, she kindly greeted me, and she taught me about the Chinese practices. She gave me a lot of brochures about Chinese acupuncture. I thought she was going to teach me for about fifteen minutes, but she taught me for an hour and a half.
I was very happy that Dr. Merav spends the time to teach me. She liked to ask me do you have any questions, and what else do you want to know. I know that she was busy and tired, but I really (really) appreciate her for teaching me; she took the time to educate me about the traditional Chinese practices. She is truly a kind person.
Even though I am nursing student, Dr. Merav helped me a lot, and she treated me like I was her customer. I did not pay her anything, and I could not believe that she was willing to teach me for an hour and a half (without getting anything in return). She was truly an amazing and compassionate person. She also agreed to teach my friends, which they were also nursing students and had the same assignments as me.
To whoever is reading this comment, Dr. Merav gives free consultation. If you have any questions, problems, or concerns, just call or e-​mail her. She is a very good person and a very educated acupuncturist. I think good people should be supported. Talk to her, and you’ll see that I am telling the truth.

Very informative! And helpful, doing acupuncture for fertility and she really seems to know her stuff.
