I went in to the clinic like most people who have never had acupuncture before, being very skeptical. But, after a few treatments with Eran I began to see a difference. Some were immediate changes, some took a little bit of time and effort on my part as well to get better. Every treatment has been, excellent and very professional. You can tell He genuinely cares about his patients and wants them to get better. Stephanie March 13 2012
Went in with a bad cold - otc meds just weren't helping. Eran was really, really good - after acupuncture and an herbal concoction (new meaning to home brew!) I felt much, much better. BTW, I usually see his partner Chris for treatment, but she wasn't available. I have full confidence in both practitioners. :-) C.C. 2/23/2012
Taking the time to listen and also careing is as important as the medicine. The passion that is shown for the healing pratice is impressive. They give you more than words when you see them. C.B. 2/15/2012
I went in for a general tune-up (no specific ailments) and was glad I did. Emerged refreshed. re-energized, and ready to face the world. Clinic Amit is way above average! C.C. 1/15/2012
Both Chris and Eran came recommended to me from another practitioner in town. I can see why! Both are warm & welcoming, quick follow up to messages. I work with Chris & she is such a compassionate listener who puts me at ease with her gentle care during treatment. Easy going but clearly very knowledgeable and professional, I 100% recommend this clinic. Shannon T 1/19/2012
They are caring, professional, and knowledgeable in many different healing techniques. They truly listen to you, and cater their treatments to relieve whatever ails you. I am so lucky I was referred to Clinic Amit. They are special people with special talents. Karen F 11/29/2011
I am so grateful to have found Clinic Amit. I have been going for almost 2 years and my experience has been amazing. Chris has helped me with many issues including depression, headaches, back pain, and side effects of cancer treatment. I have sent many friends to Clinic Amit and all have been very happy and impressed. I highly recommend Clinic Amit. Jenn J 11/26/2011
After 40 years of almost daily migraines, some very severe, I have finally found some relief thanks to Chris Flanagan and acupuncture. The frequency and severity of my migraines has diminished, and I look forward to the day when I have very few. Chris is a caring and skill professional. She spends a great deal of time with me every time I visit the office, and I know that she wants me to be healthy. I recommend Clinic Amit enthusiastically. Pat C 11/20.2011
These people are amazing - gifted - and work with great professionalism and a lot of heart. I'm not lying when I say my life has changed because of my treatments. I will never go anywhere else. Kris R 11/08/2011

I am a 62 year old man who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a progressive lung disease that gave me a prognosis of having only a year to live and no Western medical treatments available after the one round of prednisone the doctors gave me. I physically felt horrible. I was supposed to get oxygen in my home and started looking into funeral services to prepare for the end of my life. I was literally preparing to die. I had an almost constant cough, ached all over, all my joints were swollen, had no strength to speak of and could not sleep more than an hour and a half at a time. That's when I decided to start acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I started aggressive acupuncture three times a week and drinking the Chinese herbs, religiously. I started out being a patient at the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine (SIOM). It was soon after that I met Chris Flanagan and Eran Pupkin at the Kang Wen Community Clinic. I felt a difference that first night (I slept for 4 hours) and over the next six months started feeling so much better, even my friends and family noticed the difference. And it has only gotten better…and that was over a year and a half ago. When my health improved even more and I could decrease my acupuncture treatments to twice a week, I continued to see Eran and Chris exclusively at Kang Wen Clinic. Eran would perform Tui-Na treatments, a form of deep massage that helped me to get back a lot of feeling into my body, especially my legs and chest. They also used moxabustion to provide a pleasant heating sensation to different points on my body and Chinese hot cupping which helped tremendously to open up my chest that allowed me to breathe easier. These days I'm feeling great, the medical tests (CAT scans) show the disease has not gotten any worse in two years and I never did have to get oxygen to help me breathe. I honestly feel I owe my life, in large part, to both Chris and Eran, the practitioners at SIOM, the Chinese herbs that they prescribed and the other techniques they performed on me. The rest I owe to myself for getting treated every week, not giving up and believing in what worked for me. Because of their vast experience they offer a complete range of Oriental medicine that rivals far more expensive clinics and you always feel like you're getting their personal care each time they treat you. Take my advice; let them help you feel better and be consistent with the treatments. David K. Seattle, WA
I have been Eran's patient for the past year. I was asthmatic as a child and have suffered from horrendous coughing since then. My coughing episodes often cause my trachea to swell so much that it is very difficult to breathe. Over the years it has just gotten worse. The only thing strong enough to stop the coughing was Tylenol with Codeine #3 or Hydrocodone. These episodes last between 4 and 5 months. Last year it was so bad the Hydrocodone was ineffective. The doctors recommended a second round of Prednisone which I declined because of the terrible side effects I experienced with the previous round. So as a last resort, I went to Eran. At this time I was waking up every hour and a half and coughing for 20-30 minutes. It was excruciating. After ONE treatment I was able to sleep through the night except for one bout of coughing. Over the past few months I have noted even more improvement. Since I moved to Seattle 17 years ago I have NEVER been able to successfully combat these colds which would escalate to chronic unremitting coughing lasting for months. Now I have experienced three colds without progression to coughing. For me it is a MIRACLE. This is the healthiest I have been in all of my 70 years. I am beyond grateful for Eran and Chris. They have LITERALLY changed my life. I would HIGHLY recommend them for acupuncture and herbal treatments. Feel free to contact me for any questions at my email address sarahleah(at)gmail.com
Eran is that rare person that truly and genuinely cares about his clients well being (as is his partner Chris Flanagan) and that caring and compassion along with his wisdom and skilled techniques always made me feel so much better after a treatment than before, and I always left an appointment feeling hopeful for the future. I highly recommend not only his acupuncture treatments, but his tuina massage as well. I had never heard of 'tuina' before, and it's hard to describe, except perhaps to say the benefits are energizing and relaxing at the same time. St. Pete is very fortunate to have Eran and Chris' new clinic in their area. If I lived in the area, I would definitely make an appointment without hesitation.
After receiving acupuncture to help with side effects of chemotherapy in Miami. I became a patient of my Miami Chinese doctor for many years after the chemo ended - due to wonderful results and the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of her clinic compared to the regular medical establishments. I was reluctant to try someone new in my new hometown of St. Pete until I met Chris Flanagan. I have had several treatments so far and can report that I am thrilled to have found her and her services. She is remarkably caring and intuitive as well as a skilled acupuncture physician and I recommend her highly.
Chris Flanagan, L.Ac. Acupuncturist is the most caring, sympathetic and skilled medical practitioner I have ever seen. She gets excellent results and really knows how to treat allergies, among other conditions, and she can also make a cold or flu go away quickly. She is the best! |
