Delaware Acupuncture, Classical Chinese Medicine

"I have been treated by Barry for over 13 years for a variety of issues that I could not get relief from with western medicine. Muscle tightness, and chronic neck and back pain that chiropractic practitioners could not resolve due to the muscle tightness. Stressed out from the chronic pain, and seeking a better quality of life, I turned to acupuncture to see if I could get some relief. Barry was able to locate the sources of the tightness, focus on them, and was able to get them to relax finally. Chiropractic adjustments were then more effective, and I finally started on a road to a better state of life. Nothing can resolve the spinal damage from the car accidents I have been injured in, but that doesn’t mean that I have to “live with the pain”. The Traditional Chinese Medicine methods that Barry embraces and uses have been very effective with getting other situations that have come up over the years as well. Most medical practitioners do nothing but prescribe pills, ice and rest, hoping that one works and see you in 3 months…. That is not the case with Barry. If you are seeking relief from something and have no luck with our money focused medical establishment, there are other options, and philosophies that are effective, and Delaware Acupuncture is a great place to start to find something other than pills. This is true Traditional Chinese Acupuncture from a licensed Acupuncturist. Don’t be fooled by other practitioners that will stick a bunch of needles in you hoping that they get lucky and hit a spot that helps. I made that mistake ONCE, when I could not get to Barry. Never again! The fact that states allow such practices to be done is absurd, but I haven’t the power to change it. Just beware of the undertrained “carpet bombers” that are out there, and avoid them. Go to a licensed, trained and highly experienced ACUPUNCTURIST. Barry is awesome Acupuncturist!"

"I’ve been meaning to leave a review for Delaware Acupuncture for years. My military boyfriend lived in Delaware so I would go there from Virginia. I get headaches/migraines and the drive would always make it worse. I decided to try acupuncture and found a Groupon for this office. My consultation was so detailed and not rushed. He explained the process and made sure I was comfortable for my first hour-long session. He never tried to sell me anything or talk me into anything else, as many Groupon places try to do. After four sessions, I didn’t get any headaches for months, which was pretty amazing. I don’t go to Delaware anymore, but I wish he had an office near me. His prices even without the Groupon were very reasonable - cheaper than I’ve seen in this area. I would recommend him to anyone and plan to use him again if I find myself in Delaware."

"I bought a $140 groupon, I have now call about 15 times, I sent a request for an appointment online and still 3 days laters I haven’t heard anything in return. Worse costumer services I’ve ever experienced. I ended up requesting a refunded in which Groupon would only provide me Groupon bucks which was a huge inconvenience as there was nothing on Groupon I could imagine spending $140 on except acupuncture and there was no other good deals. so now I’m stuck with $140 in Groupon bucks and I was unable to afford the acupuncture I desperately need. I received a called back from them 5 days after my first attempt to contact them, no apologies. Just a i was out of town, request a refund through Groupon. I also tried to place a review on their Facebook and they had blocked me. As spending 8 years as a manager in customer service, I can’t believe the way this business handled this matter. Absolutely disgraceful"

"Mr. Gommer welcomed me with open arms to his office offering water, coffee, or tea. His explanations of what entails during the acupuncture were precise and clear. I definitely am going to be returning here and advise others reading this review to give him a shot. Money well worth it. I work as a military police officer wearing heavy plate carriers around the hour. I hurt my neck and back working out as well and my first session seemed to have relieve a decent amount of pain. Please come check him out!."

"Barry is an incredible acupuncturist. He is really talented, generous with his time and he has great hours. Barry starts with an extensive consultation where he asks great questions and listens closely to what his patients are saying. I went to Barry for stress management and I have improved dramatically under his care. I work in a high stress career and I wish I learned about acupuncture when I started working. I feel really lucky to have met Barry. I have learned so much from him and I look forward to my sessions during the week. I hope to continue with acupuncture for the rest of my life"
