    My husband received personalized care with Dr. Kogan and Dr. Benavides. They took time to create a plan and explain the interventions. My husband used a wheelchair to get to the first appointment. he could use his walker more after one … More treatment. Monica, the scheduler, was most accommodating and answered our questions promptly.

    We had an excellent time with Brianna today, as we always do. She has a very good "bed side manner" in the sense of suggesting what either or both of us should do to improve our health. We are both fully satisfied.

    I have been visiting GW CIM and Dr. Orceyre for about 8 months for both naturopathic treatment and acupuncture. I could not be more pleased with the service and care.

    I am only starting at GW Center for Integrative Medicine on my process of dealing with long-COVID. I am undergoing what is for me an unlivable, unbelievably difficult situation. And even now, at the very beginning before I have any diagnosis … More or potential solutions/mitigations/approaches, I am giving them 5 stars because of Ashley Drapeau. I could never express in this review how much I appreciate this doctor (PA). I could never have asked for a better provider and I am effortlessly (and admittedly desperately) giving over my entire self and care to her because I trust her beyond words. Her expertise and knowledge are unparalleled, alongside a humility towards what she doesn't know, alongside an empathic, loving manner that I've never found before in a provider. If there is anyone that can help me get my life back, I believe it is her.

    Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine are expertly and compassionately practiced by Angela Gabriel. My specific complaints, as well as general well-being, were greatly enhanced by visits scheduled to my convenience. Facility is … More very clean modern, calm, and pleasant.

    Dr Kogan and his team at CWCIM provide invaluable medical advice and treatment. I have EDS, POTS and MCAS and Dr. Kogan not only helped me get back on my feet when no one else could, but he provided me with advice and wisdom that I continue … More to use every day since I moved out of the area. Just go see them and you won't be disappointed in the outstanding care you receive!!

    GW Center for Integrative Medicine has provided exceptional care. The health care providers and front office staff are talented, friendly, and accommodating -- I'd highly recommend the practice!
  • Avatar Alan Fike ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I am thoroughly impressed. From around April-October 2019 I went in every other week, mostly for acupuncture but with other treatments running parallel -- until I no longer needed them, having returned to stable treatment (long story, … More but traditional medicine failed me for a time via bureaucracy). In one of the toughest battles of my life, the people of this clinic, down to Danelle (I hope I spelled this correctly, if not, sorry) at the front desk have been supportive to an extent that regular clinics weren't as sympathetic. EXPECT THAT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET, including consultations, but they're also uncommonly upfront about the cost and helping you to get discounts where applicable. I always got at least what I paid for in the help that this clinic has given me, in probably the toughest chapter of my life.

"Sincere thanks. CIM really takes its mission seriously to be health partners. I could not explore various alternative approaches without such support". – Sarah, July 2015

"I was visiting Washington, D.C. and had a profoundly transformative Reiki session with Yael Flusberg that made me wish I lived close enough to continue working with her! After my Reiki session with Yael, even though my mind continued to be worried about the everyday stresses of life, my body was simply not reacting to those negative signals, but instead was serene & joyfully at peace. I will forever remember Yael as the one who first opened the door to my body's potential for healing." M.M., Chicago

I've been a patient at the GWCIM for over a year and it's been great! I love that the doctors and staff use holistic approaches when it comes to treating and preventing illnesses; something conventional medicine should incorporate. The GWCIM staff is amazing! They arm their patients with knowledge, listen and also give them hope to help them achieve their health goals. I will continue to be a patient in their practice. Thank you to the GWCIM staff for all you're doing to help make people healthy!

"Dear Center of Integrative Medicine staff, Thank you for all you have done for me! You have created a warm, caring environment where patients can come for care and for answers! You may not realize day to day how much you improve the lives of your patients, but I hope you will know how much it means to me to have my health and energy back. And that not only improves my life, but allows me to be available for my family. What a wonderful gift you have given us! A special thank you to Barbara, Susan, and Dr. Orceyre for greeting me with smiles week after week, and helping me figure out my answers. I am forever grateful and inspired by you!
Warmly, K.K."

"I was diagnosed with cancer in August 2016 and, after surgery, began radiation and chemotherapy that Fall. During my first two chemos, I began having moderate-to-severe pain/neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. After doing some research, and talking to my oncologist and friends with similar experiences, I contacted GWCIM to learn about possible alternative remedies. Dr. Deirdre Orceyre, acupuncturist and naturopath, recommended several supplements as well as acupuncture treatments. My pain subsided noticeably after I began the supplements and acupuncture and I was able to complete my chemo treatments with fairly minimal side effects. It is not unusual for cancer patients to continue to experience neuropathy after chemo ends, and I did continue to experience some neuropathy for several months after my cancer treatments ended. Consequently, I have continued acupuncture treatments as well, reducing the frequency of treatments as the neuropathy has waned. I am now five months post-chemo and my neuropathy is almost completely gone. I credit much of my improvement to Dr. Orceyre's treatments. I also have found her to be a knowledgeable, patient and compassionate caregiver throughout the time I have seen her." E.C.

"My experience with Mary Kendell and the GW Center for Integrative Medicine was amazing. The staff was always helpful and friendly, and Mary made me feel comfortable from the first appointment. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to really get to know you, understand your medical issues, and explain everything you need to know about your condition and the treatment process. Before I went to see Mary, I had seen 6 other doctors who were unable to treat me. After suffering for 6 years, Mary was able to get me to be pain-free in 12 weeks! I am elated and could not be happier that I finally found Mary. L.A.M."

3/27/2017 "A fellow friend with cancer recommended I make an appointment with Dr. Orceyre to discuss Mistletoe therapy treatment. Even though DC is at least an hour and a half drive, I made the appointment desperately wanting someone to give me something healthy for my body. All of the treatments for breast cancer have so many bad side effects and it was a breath of fresh air to get treatments that would build my body up. Not only did Dr. Orceyre prescribe the Mistletoe Therapy to boost my immune system, help with chemo nausea and kill cancer cells but she also looked at all my blood work and chemo cocktails and developed a custom plan for supplements and diet that would help my body to cope with all the things going on. I received some added benefits - my skin has never felt so soft in all my life and I finally was able to shed a few extra unwanted pounds. Dr. Orceyre was critical in helping me weigh out what the doctors were recommending for me to do. I love knowing that someone who has so much Natural training can also help me see the value of the medical profession and can offer real solutions for the side effects. I am happy to say that I made it through 3 months of chemo during the winter months, surrounded by the flu, colds and strep throat and I never got sick once. Dr. Orceyre also helped me develop a supplement protocol for my surgery that helped me sail through and for Proton Therapy (Radiation) which I have coming up next. I really appreciate her willingness to have phone appointments with me for follow up so I don't have to take a day to drive to DC. Even though my initial relationship has started because of cancer, I see such a value in how I have been feeling that I will continue to have follow up appointments with Dr. Orceyre for my general well being."
