Empirical Point Acupuncture

Sharon is incredibly skilled as a practitioner of acupuncture, and as a healer, she truly cares about her patients. I started seeing her when recovering from Lyme Disease. My energy was quite low at the time, and it has improved drastically since. Her treatments have not only helped me physically, but she has also empowered me to make many positive changes in my own lifestyle that support my overall vitality and well-​being.
Because of her many years of experience and study with master teachers, you can’t really find many other practitioners as well versed as Sharon when it comes to acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and essential oils. She brings that knowledge, along with her compassion and sense of humor — much needed in any healing process, to the treatment room. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for truly holistic care.

Sharon is a great acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. I have had an ongoing intractable health problem and she has been able to provide me with relief. Sharon really tries to get to the root of the problem and solve it, which is much better than managing symptoms. Her office is so relaxing that I almost always fall asleep on the table.

I went to Sharon after suffering for years with upper right quadrant pain. After getting nowhere with G.I. guys I’d thought I should try something different. Luckily I found Sharon. Not only did she treat me with acupuncture which helped ease my pain right away, she then sent me to a massage therapist who focused on facia work. I am most impressed that Sharon is willing to suggest other treatments with another professional! Who does that!!! After two treatments each I have felt better than I have in years! I no longer have to compensate for my ULQ pain and I’m able to move with ease at last!
Thank you, Sharon.

I started acupuncture with Sharon after trying just about everything else under the sun to ease my post-​concussion headaches and TMJ. When I entered the office I was nervous about trying acupuncture for the first time and feeling very frustrated about my ongoing pain. Sharon is very easy to talk to and comforting. I left feeling calm and relaxed. After ongoing treatments I feel the best I have felt in months. I would recommend Empirical Point Acupuncture to anyone and everyone! You will leave feeling great :)

Sharon Sherman is truly gifted and knowledgable in the art of acupuncture and herbs. I have been going for several years and I can’t believe the difference it has made in my body for deep healing. I am so thankful to have her in my life to continue my healing process. Thank you Sharon.

You need to go here! I first went to Sharon Sherman 8 years ago while I was experiencing knee pain. To say that I don’t like needles is a understatement. Sharon soon put me at ease with a combination of professionalism, warmth, knowledge and humor. Since then she has treated me for back, stomach, sleep and general life issues with great success. Sharon will take the time to get to know you, assess the problem that you are experiencing and fix it. It’s that simple. It isn’t magic, it is simply someone who has the knowledge and the compassion to heal. Sharon has been a blessing in my life as well to anyone I have referred to her.

I love going to acupuncture. There, I said it.
I first went to see Sharon about 10 months ago for help with some running injuries that were nagging and not getting any better. With the help of acupuncture and herbs, my recovery time was much faster than my docs expected and helped me get back to running really quickly. She’s also been working with herbs to treat my Raynaud’s – which I haven’t found ANY good treatments for besides what we’ve got going (I had a doctor write a prescription saying «Move to CA» before). They aren’t super tasty, but being able feel my fingers and toes all winter is pretty cool!
She’s one of the first medical professionals I’ve ever worked with who I feel like listens to what I’m saying and cares about finding answers and solutions. Her genuine, candid approach is comforting and makes me look forward to treatments. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Sharon Sherman to anyone seeking acupuncture treatment. She’s extremely professional, helpful and friendly. She has been my acupuncturist for over 2 years and she always goes above and beyond researching symptoms I have or providing alternative treatment options to help avoid the side effects of prescription treatments. She treats me for migraines related to PMS symptoms and I have not had one intense migraine since I started seeing her. Like many, I still suffer from the odd headache, but her treatment has been very effective for me.
For those who are hesitant to try acupuncture, don’t! You do not feel the needles at all and it’s actually quite relaxing. I always leave my treatment with renewed energy and focus. Acupuncture for life!

Sharon is awesome! She’s so smart and so good at what she does! When you walk into her office, you will immediately relax. It’s clean, calming and utterly professional. Sharon is a great listener and will spend a good amount of with you to determine what is going on with you. She is a superb acupuncturist, and after a few sessions, my back problems were gone. I often go back to Sharon for help with everything from acne, general stress or the flu. I highly recommend Sharon!

There are a lot of quacks out there in the acupuncture and alternative medicine arena: Sharon Sherman isn’t one of them. She is well trained, down to earth, and effective. She does a more thorough intake than any doctor I’ve ever been to and takes the time to listen to her clients. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are the best option for a wide range of chronic conditions and pain that Western medicine just can’t seem to treat effectively. She has helped me and I’ve watched her work magic with my boyfriend and best friend.

Sharon Sherman is amazing. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. I’ve had kidney disease, lupus, and am now receiving chemotherapy treatments once a month. Since being treated by Sharon, the symptoms associated with the chemo have lessened (typical wisdom says they are supposed to worsen the more treatments one receives). My bloodwork and numbers have gotten better since i’ve been seeing her. My energy has increased and I feel more grounded. I just basically think she’s amazing. I’ve searched far and wide for a well-​trained, knowledgeable acupuncturist in the Philadelphia area and I’ve finally found this person in Sharon. She tells you what she can and cannot do. You never feel taken advantage of or like you are being sold snake oil. I feel more optimistic about the future since i’ve been seeing Sharon. I feel like I’m able to take things one day at a time, in large part due to her services. I would recommend Sharon Sherman and Empirical Point to anyone looking to regain their health and their sense of self.

Prior to seeing Sharon at Empirical Point, LLC, I had been receiving acupuncture treatments – with mixed results. I had no energy, and I kept on getting sick. I was averaging a cold/​flu once every 4 or 6 weeks for about six months, and each illness would be worse than the last. As a result, I was physically drained and my overall attitude wasn’t particularly pleasant. I started seeing Sharon about 4 – 5 months ago for some relief, and I can sincerely say, there has been a drastic improvement in how I feel. Thanks to Sharon I am no longer getting sick, and my energy level is beginning to improve.
What I appreciate the most about Sharon is her expansive knowledge of Eastern medicine, accompanied by an in depth knowledge of Western medicine. In my previous experience with acupuncture practitioners, there seemed to be a negative view of Western medicine. Sharon’s respect for the benefits of both forms of medicine is what makes her such a great practitioner. She is incredibly intelligent, and possesses such a down to earth attitude. I thoroughly enjoy my regular appointments with her, and look forward to them. I also find that she is really in tune to, not only my physical condition, but my mental and emotional states as well. There have been times when I’ve needed to vent, and she listens, offering bits of advice and wittiness. Sharon’s got a fantastic sense of humor, so there have been many times when I’ve been able to laugh off whatever was bothering me.
I can’t say enough about how much Sharon has helped me in the past few months. In so many ways, my treatments have changed the quality of my life. She is a methodical practitioner who sincerely cares about the overall health of her patients. (I was impressed to find out that my treatments have been planned in advance.) If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Sharon is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her to any and everyone looking for an awesome acupuncturist!!!
