Welcome to our clinic. My name is Jake Paul Fratkin and I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. I have been in practice for 30 years, and specialize in Japanese style acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. I often support these therapies with nutritional medicine.

I specialize in internal disorders, infections and pediatrics. Because Oriental medicine promotes healing rather than control or suppress symptoms, my success rate in general is 85% or higher.

The internal disorders that I treat include respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments, skin problems, allergies, chronic fatigue and low immune function. I also treat cancer patients for the side effects of western therapies, and to enhance immune function and vitality.

I treat gynecological complaints including menstrual and menopausal disorders, and certain problems of pregnancy such as morning sickness and fatigue. My success rate for infertility due to hormone imbalance is 85%.

For pediatrics, I treat common cold, cough, ear infections, diarrhea, constipation, allergies, eczema and asthma. In some cases, we can help learning disorders such as ADD.

Infectious disorders that I treat include hepatitis, West Nile Virus, common cold and cough, influenza (flu), shingles, and infections of the skin, gums, ear, throat, lungs, heart and urinary bladder, as well as wounds and burns.

In the main, I do not offer an orthopedic pain clinic — the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints of the back, neck, shoulder, hip, wrist, etc. — although I do treat acute traumatic swelling and bruising with herbal medicine.

I cannot offer any real benefit for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, stroke, senility, paralysis, or muscle wasting diseases. I also cannot treat rare genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, ichthyosis, Netherton's syndrome, etc. For patients with these conditions, however, my treatments may help in improved organ function and symptom relief.
