Report
I started coming to Abel Acupuncture when I was more seriously injured, but treatments there are so effective that I now consider myself a lifelong patient. Dr. Greg is seriously talented at what he does - exceedingly gentle, constant attention to detail, and I always feel relief from whatever is ailing me after our appointments. He is an absolute wizard with carpal tunnel treatments! I could not recommend this place more highly.

Dr. Greg treated me for 3 separate issues because I kept coming back. He is very good at finding painful areas you didn't even know were there, but that were contributing to your condition. He is kind, thoughtful, and really helps you understand what he is doing and what you can do to improve yourself. Highly recommend for any kind of pain management. And he works with the VA!

Report
I have never had another therapist bring as dramatic and instant results as Greg Catanese. I was suffering from pelvic floors issues for over a year that had seriously degraded my quality of life. He brought me relief, and most importantly hope. It's literally changed my life. I can't say enough good things!

I've been a patient here for a few years and I'm happy to say that the clinic is taking Covid seriously. There are clean tables, fewer patients, distancing expectations and masks are required. Greg is a great guy who genuinely cares.
