Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Actual Medicine
I really hope insurance begins to cover acupuncture and herbal medicine. This has done far more than any pill could ever do. Thanks to Dr. Ivo, I have gotten off all my pills.Chinese medicine is the way.

Only doctor I trust
I have tried several different doctors in the past for vertigo and it wasn't much success until I met Dr Ivo. He treated me withb acupuncture and Chinese medicine. After three days all symptoms disappear and I felt back to normal. It was amazing how fast he got rid of my vertigo when I went to cardiologist and primary for over a year and they couldn't. Now I come to him for some shoulder and back issues. It does take his time and most of his treatments are very detailed. Pay attention when he talks, he gives you a lot of good information for overall health.

Amazing results in a short period of time!
I’ve been seeing Dr Ivo for 8 months. I’ve had food allergies and digestive issues for 44 years. I haven’t enjoyed food gatherings for more than 20 years. I was at the end of my rope and had no hope!4 Western Med docs said I can’t help you any more. I was on inhaled steroids, 3 types of allergy meds, pill form steroids, stomach meds and still didn’t feel well. I thought I wasn’t going to live much longer because it seems like all food was poison, my body was attaching everything!Acupuncture and Herbals are amazing! Today, in 8 short months I am eating anything I want and have an abundance of energy. I wish I had found Dr Ivo, acupuncture and prescription herbals a long time ago!! Don’t wait! There is hope!

Doctor from God!
I’ve been a patient of doctor Ivo for months now and it was an unbelievable journey for me! I came in with a back pain which he addressed properly and in no time the pain was gone! Then I was getting treated for emotional issues and with help of alternative medicine, herbs and acupuncture that Dr. Ivo combined, my life has completely changed! I’m all new person now!!! I can’t express how grateful I am! Thank you doctor for being there for us and providing world class service!!!

Heavy Prolonged cough
I had a heavy dry cough that prolonged for more than a week. Did not experienced any other symptoms, only cough. Dr. Gueorguiev was able to treat the cough with herbal medicine. My cough decreased in couple of days after taking the herbal supplements and completely stopped within a week. I can always count on Dr. Gueorguiev, because he treated and resolved other health complication I had experienced and will definitely reach out to him if something else arises. Strongly recommend Acupuncture Medicine. Do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Gueorguiev with your concerns or health issues you may be experiencing.

Eye issue resolved in no time
One day I woke up and my vision all of a sudden started to split while I had both eyes open. I went to an optometrist and the optometrist told me that there is no treatment for the condition and only time will possibly heal. It was recommended to try acupuncture. After acupuncture treatments my vision returned back to normal. I am very happy I did acupuncture.

I had simptoms of influenza , fever, congestion and stubborn coughing, breathing difficulty, headache, nasal and sinus pain. Chest congestion that starts with a loose, hacking cough and develops into a persistent, dry cough.

Now I feel better thanks to Dr. Gueorguiev . I will highly recommend Dr. Gueorguiev and Alternative Medicine Acupuncture.

I went to Dr. Gueorguieve after three different urologists each performed invasive procedures because I had an enlarged kidney caused by a kidney stone. The third urologist was proposing kidney reconstruction or kidney removal. I endured almost a month of a tube in my kidney which went down my leg where a bag collected the output. During this treatment, I was seeing Dr. Gueorguieve concurrently. I decided to forego further treatment by the urologist and relied solely of the natural healing treatment by Dr. Gueorguieve, and after two months of his extraordinary care, my kidney is healthy and functioning normally. I cannot to begin to estimate the amount of time and work he put into getting me well again. I recommend Dr. "Ivo" highly to anyone seeking alternative medical treatment. I am truly thankful and fortunate to have him in my life.

I am a 45 yo healthy and active woman.I went to see Dr Ivaylo in Dec 2020 for a back issue. It only took one visit and I felt relief. I continued to see him for an underlying depression problem. It’s now been 5 visits and I have an herbal supplement regiment that has given me my vitality back. He is patient and listens to my concerns and addresses them. Appointments with him are easy to schedule. He does not run late. You will be seen at your appointment time. I cannot express in words how my overall health has gone from satisfactory to feeling 10 years younger. I wish I found him sooner. You will not be disappointed in seeking an alternative approach to health with Dr. Ivo.

To say that Dr Ivo does a good job helping his patients would be a staggering understatement. This doctor has been helping me for two years. My last treatment was so good I was able to let go of my pain and actually relax while on the table. Those with pain issues get used to their pain & don't even realize how bad it is. Experiencing even just a little bit of relief allows the body to actually become aware & take a breather. His acupuncture & the chinese medicine I've taken on and off is also very good for anxiety and depression.

I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Ivo! I came to him with multiple health problems. I didn't think they could be solved, to be honest. These are fibrosis of the uterus, ovaries, breasts , depression, pain in the spine. Official medicine said to cut, remove and freeze! Of course, because medical bills are a huge source of income to the state budget...... for several months of acupuncture and the intake of herbs my body began to react: the bolt decreased during menstruation, the breast became softer, there was at least some libido, I began to feel like a woman)))) My mood began to align, less swings, more stable good mood, thoughts in the morning positive, although irritants of the number and problems remained the same. Most importantly, Dr. Ivo has a positive experience of complete disposal of ovarian and uterine fibrosis and can give a prediction for how long it will dissipate. In two months I am planning to conceive a child! And conventional medicine prescribed me surgery and 6

My visit to Dr. Gueorguiev was excellent. He addessed all my health issues that a primary Doctor could not. I had a Uti that kept on coming back after my antibiotic were gone. Had numerous urine tests that everything was fine per my primary dr. after months of my uti's returning. Dr. Ivo requested a urinalysis to find that there still was a trace of bacteria which he quickly resolved with alternate medicine. I also had stomach issues which he also resolved. prolapsed bladder also resolved. and my osteoarthritis in my knees. I truly believe in alternate medicine even more than I did before. I would recommend acupunture to everyone. It is definitely safe and effective.

I got introduced to Dr. Ivo by my friend, Dr. Ivo does wonders. I was working around the house lifting boxes, and hurt my shoulder area. I was so sore, could not move my right side, could not even put my clothes on without help. After just one acupuncture treatment, my pain decreased by about 90%. Great doctor, listened carefully about the issue I had, and took me in for an appointment quickly.

I am 69 years old and had a cerebellar stroke on October 6, 2020 caused by atrial fibrillation and was hospitalized. I have hypertension and arrhythmia. I take prescription medication that is supposed to but does not regulate arrhythmia and A-fib completely and was told by my cardiologist there were no real good drugs for A-fib and I would eventually need cardiac ablation. Dr. Ivo treats me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs that has seemed to steadily diminish my A-fib and arrhythmia episodes. In addition, I have had numerous motor vehicle and other accidents in my life. I have 8 herniated discs from C2-T2 levels. C5 and C6 discs have completely degenerated with spurs effecting the nerves to my hands with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. My surgeon wanted to fuse C5 through C7. I refused the surgery because I think 1 surgery will lead to 1 or 2 more surgeries until I am fused from C2-T2. Dr. Ivo is treating me with acupuncture, Chinese herbs and homeopathic injections.

I can’t say enough good about Dr. Ivo. I was referred to him by a friend. I thank her so much and Dr. Ivo. I was suffering with chronic migraines and nothing else was helping plus the medications I was taking had many side effects that compounded the problems I was having even more. After just two acupuncture treatments and another one scheduled. I am so happy to say that I have had no headache for one week for the first time in months. I highly recommend Dr. Ivo. I even can’t believe how much better I am feeling with other things as well. Hope to help someone else by telling them about Dr. Ivo like it has helped me. Thanks again

To say that I have found the right professional to suit my needs is an understatement.Dr Ivaylo Georguiev is an expert of knowing the body and assisting his patient make decisions that will increase their energy and improve the overall health. I got post traumatic stress disorder so bad I was borderline post partum psychosis.Zoloft and Xanax somehow helped me to quit crying.Anytime I was trying to quit a pill,my IBS was killing me with severe pain,as well as muscle,back pain, insomnia,trouble concentrating and etc.Regular visits to psichologist did not worked at all,waste of time and money for me. This time was a word away from previous experiences elsewhere. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. I am off both medications,I have a lot of energy,able to sleep normal,back pain is almost gone. I can't thank him enough for the special care he has provided. He made me feel that I was in safe hands. It is obvious he loves what he does because he is good at it.Thank you!
